Holding Their Own Space, the Family Returns to the Apocalypse

123: So this is its weakness.”Young General, what do we do now? If we let them keep attacking like this, the Outer Wall will be breached, and the entire Base will have no protection. At that time...”

At that time, it would be the moment when the people inside the Base are slaughtered.

Gu Xiheng remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on one of the Devil Frogs.

After staring for a moment, he suddenly launched an attack on that Devil Frog.

He compressed his Superpower flames and, taking advantage of the Devil Frog’s inattention, shot them fiercely toward its right eye.

The Devil Frog instinctively used its long tongue to disperse the flame that was as fast as a meteor.

The Devil Frog smugly flicked its long tongue.

At that very moment, another golden flame shot toward it at an even faster speed, disappearing into the Devil Frog’s right eye in the blink of an eye.

The Devil Frog clearly froze for a moment, then suddenly let out a miserable howl, its entire head exploding with a ”pop” like a watermelon.

Dead as a doornail!

Gu Xiheng’s eyes lit up with joy. Indeed!

His observation was correct. When their Superpowers struck the Devil Frogs, they all instinctively protected their right eyes.

It seemed the right eye was their fatal weakness!

Everyone saw this scene and understood, their hearts filled with immense joy. The low morale and despair from just moments ago vanished instantly.

The Ability Warriors, their spirits rekindled, coordinated with each other, precisely targeting the Devil Frogs’ fatal weakness—the right eye.

The Giant Toads that had been nearly impossible to kill before were now being suppressed by the well-coordinated warriors, and dozens quickly perished.

Just as everyone thought to finish off all the Devil Frogs in one go, their Superpowers were exhausted.

Some warriors, bloodlust in their eyes and their Superpowers gone, drew their guns without a second thought and fired at the Devil Frogs.

Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. The Devil Frogs seemed blind, completely unaware of the bullets’ approach.

Only when the bullets were right in front of them did they react, but by then it was too late to intercept. In the blink of an eye, they were instantly killed.

Gu Xiheng noticed the commotion here, had an idea, and immediately shouted loudly, ”Use guns! They’re not sensitive to bullets!”

The warriors whose Superpowers had vanished, despite their nearly exhausted stamina, drew their guns and fired without hesitation upon hearing the command.

After years of training, guns had become an extension of the warriors’ bodies. Drawing and shooting were incredibly smooth, and their accuracy was even higher than when using Superpowers!

Superpowers were limited, but the Yingjin Safety Tower could supply bullets indefinitely.

Guns weren’t effective against Ancient Centipedes and Bloodthirsty Worms, but they worked wonders against Devil Frogs.

Half an hour later, the Base had zero casualties. Most of the Devil Frogs died at the hands of Firearms, a phenomenon that instantly boosted the confidence of the previously insecure people inside the Base, erasing their fear.

Under the strong suppression of firepower, the surviving Devil Frogs slunk away in defeat.

”Young General, did we win?” Yan Li, exhausted, plopped down on the ground, speaking with the relief of having survived a disaster.

”Yes, we won. This shows that even monsters that seem invincible can be easily defeated as long as we find their weaknesses.”

Gu Xiheng said sincerely.

”Yeah, I didn’t expect it to be this easy to win this time!” Mo Li, leaning against a nearby pillar, said breathlessly.

”Easy? If it weren’t for the Young General discovering those Giant Toads’ weaknesses in time, we might be chatting inside their stomachs right now!” Yan Li retorted irritably.

”Hey, you little...” Mo Li pointed at Yan Li, then added, ”That’s not a nice thing to say!”

Feeling completely relaxed now, Yan Li made a face at Mo Li, got up from the ground, and staggered away.

”Hey... this brat, I think he really needs more training!” Mo Li punched the ground, grumbling discontentedly.

”Enough, you’re over thirty, why bother with someone in their early twenties? Besides, we all grew up together. He’s been following us since he was in diapers. Don’t you know what he’s like? Why take it so seriously?”

Seeing Mo Li get the short end of the stick with Yan Li, Gu Xiheng was in a rare mood to say a few more words.

”Hmph, him? He wasn’t following us; he had ulterior motives!” Mo Li said disdainfully.

As for Yan Li’s little schemes, others might not notice, but as a master of romance, how could Mo Li not see Yan Li’s special interest in Gu Xitian?

It’s just that no one pointed it out, and he didn’t want to be the first to break the ice.

After hearing his words, Gu Xiheng, naturally slow on emotional cues, asked somewhat puzzledly, ”What ulterior motives? What do you mean?”

Mo Li had no intention of discussing romantic topics with this emotional idiot, so he brushed it off, ”Oh, it’s nothing. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t understand.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiheng said seriously, ”If you don’t tell me, how do you know I won’t understand? Explain...”

”Forget it, I don’t have the energy for this. I’m exhausted. Give me a hand...”

Seeing that Mo Li had no intention of clarifying, Gu Xiheng stopped talking. Instead, he ignored Mo Li’s outstretched hand with a cold expression and walked briskly past him.

”Hey, hey, hey, give me a hand! I can’t get up...”

Gu Xiheng didn’t pause for a second, walking faster and faster.

”Gu Xiheng! You, you, you... you’re something else, As expected of my brother, just as unique as ever!”

Mo Li lay on the ground, reluctantly withdrew his hand, and silently mustered his last bit of strength to get up.

He muttered something under his breath and walked with a noticeable limp.

Others, seeing his struggle, wanted to help him, but he became surprisingly proud, straightened his chest, and insisted on walking back on his own.

Everything that happened at the Base was seen by Gu Yan. Although the final crisis was perfectly resolved thanks to Gu Xiheng’s caution and attentiveness,

he couldn’t help but feel regret. If Li Shilan and her family had been there, they would have been a great asset, making the victory less difficult and allowing the entire Base to face disasters more calmly.

Especially Li Shilan’s Healing, which could be a decisive factor on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, he became even more determined in his thoughts: Li Shilan must be under his control.

Knowing the Devil Frogs’ weakness, people were no longer fearful and had unprecedented confidence in defeating these giant beasts.

Perhaps before long, the people who had been Holed Up in the Base for ages would freely come and go from the Safety Tower again. It seemed only a matter of time.

Although this round was a victory for the Safety Tower, they didn’t let their guard down, arranging people to keep watch around the clock.

That night, the weather was somewhat stuffy. Combined with the exhaustion from the day’s battle, the warriors on night watch couldn’t help but feel drowsy.

They relied entirely on iron willpower to stay awake.

In the latter half of the night, the warriors on watch suddenly heard unusual noises outside the wall.
