My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 125: A Turtle in a Jar
Xu Yancheng was stunned.
Half a second before, his Deputy Commander had been pledging his oath firmly, but half a second later…
He looked over and saw only a fireman left in midair.
Without time to ponder, those fireballs began to crash down one by one.
Even the Deputy Commander of the Fifth Tier had failed to stop them and lost his life in the process, causing the others to panic, each of them fleeing far away.
Some who ran too slowly were instantly reduced to flying ash.
The orange-red flames blossomed, melting holes into the ground.
The rolling heat waves hit them, and even those who had escaped far away could feel a scorching sensation on their skin.
Watching this scene, their faces changed.
Mind racing, one word involuntarily emerged in their minds—
That flame,
was terrifying to such an extent.
But their reactions were quick, and soon someone pointed in the distance, "Look over there!"
They could vaguely make out three Cannons, their muzzles still gathering red light.
"Take them down!"
Xu Yancheng had just shouted out.
Suddenly,
Rumbling,
The ground shook, and he looked around with some doubt, "Could it be a Demon Tide coming?"
But suddenly his pupils dilated with a hint of panic in his eyes.
Around them, black towers rose gradually amidst the rumbling noise.
Xu Yancheng was all too familiar with these towers!
Looking at the dark muzzles at the tops of the towers, a chill ran down his spine.
Just one Arrow Tower was threatening enough for him, and now, in all directions, there were Arrow Towers—Xu Yancheng couldn't count them all.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
The Arrow Towers took several seconds to rise, time enough for them to have fled a great distance, but Xu Yancheng hadn't anticipated that, attracted by the Cannons, the surrounding Arrow Towers would be fully formed in the blink of an eye.
They were trapped like turtles in a jar.
Among the team, other high-ranking officials, including Lin Wei, had not truly witnessed the power of the Arrow Towers, but Xu Yancheng had told them plenty.
Now, seeing their true might, who couldn't understand that this Green Shadow Sanctuary, which they never took seriously, had set an ambush for them long ago!
They had not anticipated that such terrifying Arrow Towers could be erected in a matter of seconds.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yancheng decisively ran in the opposite direction.
His speed soared to the limit, and in the span of a breath, he reached the side of one of the Arrow Towers forming a circle. Without pausing or considering attacking the Arrow Towers, he quickly ran outwards.
As long as he could get out of the range of the Arrow Towers, he would be safe!
So he thought, and so did the other powerhouses, all running towards the edge of the encirclement.
At that moment, the Arrow Towers had just begun to prepare to shoot. Although there were dozens of Arrow Towers, they could not come close to matching the hundreds of Awakeners inside. Moreover, the Arrow Towers had a limited attack range. Perhaps those who were targeted first by the Arrow Towers might not survive, but on the whole, there was still hope of escape for each person.
However, no one noticed that among the row of black towers, there was a white tower.
Or perhaps they did notice, but did not have the leisure to consider it.
This white tower, at eighteen meters tall, stood out as much more exquisite than the Arrow Towers, its milky-white exterior engraved with mysterious patterns.
A deep blue Crystal, as tall as a person, floated silently at the top of the tower. But if someone got closer and sensed more carefully, they would discover that a huge amount of energy was hidden within the crystal.
This was a Mage Tower.
An Advanced defense structure.
Apart from attacking like conventional defense structures, a Mage stationed inside, releasing abilities through the Mage Tower, would receive a substantial amplification.
It was like a large Ability Amplification Device.
At this moment, Eileen stood in the Core Control Room of the Mage Tower, in front of her on a platform, a basketball-sized Crystal Ball similarly floated still.
Her hands touched the surface of the Crystal Ball, her eyes tightly closed, although she was inside a sealed room, she could sense the scenes of the outside world.
Suddenly, Eileen's sky-blue hair moved on its own without a breeze, the glow on the Crystal Ball growing brighter and brighter.
......
Outside.
Series of sharp whooshing sounds were heard, accompanied by noises resembling that of a balloon being punctured.
However, those Awakeners were also incredibly fast, not turning back as they sprinted outward.
Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall.
Someone was stunned, although it was already past June, after the apocalypse, climate change had become more and more bizarre, the current temperature was even higher than the hottest periods of previous years.
How could it possibly be snowing in this weather?!
Those people were thinking instinctively, their pace not slowing in the least.
But in an instant, heavy snow swirled about, the wild wind carrying snowflakes, abruptly transforming the area into an Ice Snow World.
The howling wind was heard by their ears.
All they could see was a burst of whiteness.
The snow on the ground piled up higher and higher, hindering their progress, the surrounding temperature plummeted rapidly, some weaker Awakeners were gradually unable to endure.
Many Awakeners had already discovered with horror that, with the obstruction of this blizzard, their speed was getting slower, and behind them, those deadly arrows continued to be shot incessantly from the Arrow Towers.

Thud, thud, thud, Awakeners burst into blood mist, staining the white snow red.
On the other side, as a super expert, Xu Yancheng was extremely fast, even facing the storm, his speed had not reduced by much.
Beside him, two identical figures followed, these were his special abilities, the Mirror Image Avatars.
With this ability, even if he faced great danger, he had the confidence to survive!
However, at this moment, the cold sweat on his forehead only grew more and more.
The surrounding Arrow Towers, it turned out, the majority were aiming at him! Numerous Avatars had already been shot to pieces!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Xu Yancheng's three figures moved swiftly, almost creating afterimages, but the next moment, an arrow pierced through a Mirror Image.
The Avatar did not have a body as strong as the original, with a pop, it dissipated into points of light.
He hadn't even had time to catch his breath when another barrage of arrows came flying.
Xu Yancheng glanced back, his pupils dilated.
Bang~
The last Mirror Image also disappeared, for a long time, he wouldn't be able to condense an Avatar again.
Even his original body, due to one moment of failing to dodge in time, had an arrow pierce through his thigh, had it not been for his breakthrough that significantly enhanced his physical strength, that shot would have been fatal.
Even now, he was seriously injured.
Yet, Xu Yancheng let out a long sigh of relief.
He had finally escaped the range of the Arrow Towers!
"With my strength, even with serious injuries, I can survive in the wild. The most urgent task is to quickly get away from the Green Shadow Sanctuary, from here on out I'll conceal my identity, living comfortably as a Mercenary..."
Thinking so.
Accompanied by a rumbling noise.
Ahead, several black towers suddenly rose, blocking his retreat.
Xu Yancheng froze, "Aren't these kinds of Arrow Towers supposed to be set up in advance?"
Even though the Arrow Towers had risen before, and they had been surrounded, he still believed that was a trap laid out in advance by the enemy, and that they were merely outmaneuvered, resulting in the current situation.
But now, he had a feeling as if someone was looking down at them from the clouds, coldly overseeing them.
With a wave of a hand, could summon Arrow Towers.
And they, had always been toyed with in the palm of their opponent's hand.
