Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Failure

The moment the green pillar of light shattered, Li Jie darted into the safe house. Monsters raged around him, and only this small wooden hut could offer him temporary safety.
Song Jian stood in the distance, watching the spectacle with icy detachment.
Monsters lunged for the safe house, frenziedly slamming their bodies against the walls. Every impact damaged the safe house by a few points as a series of bloomed above it. The monsters were too numerous and the house’s defense rapidly dropped at a visibly alarming rate due to its mere 300 defense points.
Ch-ch-ch-
Several mutated zombies rushed into a crimson circle and countless wooden spikes surged up from within. Each of these spikes was over half a meter long and directly pierced the bodies of the zombies that entered, throwing them up in the air. One wooden spike trap surprisingly killed five or six monsters at once. First or second level monsters were killed instantly, only third level monsters could retain some vitality.
“What is this thing? It’s powerful!” exclaimed Song Jian, a look of surprise on his face as he regarded the three crimson wooden spike traps.
He was too far away to check the properties of those circles; all he could see was Li Jie positioning these three red circles.
Li Jie, like an ant on a hot pot, hid inside the empty safe house. Listening to the roars of the monsters outside and feeling the continuous trembling of the safe house, he saw the defense points of the safe house declining rapidly. With gritted teeth, he pulled out a submachine gun from his pouch, let out a roar, rushed to the only window of the safe house, and started firing at the monsters outside.
Da-da-da-da-da-
From the window of the hut, a snake of fire a foot long spewed forth, bullets swept across and directly tore the nearest zombie to shreds.
Bullets pierced through the body of the foremost zombie and penetrated into the bodies of the zombies behind. Witnessing the damage numbers popping up one after the other in front of him, Li Jie couldn’t help but chuckle maniacally.
“This is so satisfying, this is how you play the game, haha, this is how you farm monsters!”
The clip of bullets was quickly exhausted, turning over twenty monsters into ashes. Li Jie quickly replaced the magazine and continued his rampage. His experience points also soared rapidly, and he was about to level up to four.
Outside the house, seven or eight items of various colors appeared on the ground – white, green, and Li Jie even saw one shining with a blue light. He could only watch them but couldn’t pick them up. It was like having a rat incessantly gnawing at his heart, wishing he could rush into the pile of monsters to loot all the spoils of war.
Ka-cha-
Just as Li Jie was enjoying farming monsters, a huge crack appeared in the wall of the safe house, startling him.
Looking at the durability of the safe house, in just a few minutes, it had already dropped to a little over a hundred points, sending a cold shiver down Li Jie’s spine.
The green column of light that Li Jie had used to create the safe house not only attracted all the monsters within a kilometer radius but also attracted many other players. They all stood in the distance, quietly staring at the small wooden house.
Song Jian gazed at the house, deep in thought. In just a few minutes, Li Jie had killed hundreds of monsters with the help of the safe house’s defense. Even though most of them were Level 1 mutated zombies, there were also Level 2 and Level 3 monsters among them. He even saw a Level 3 Elite Mini-Boss die without causing any damage to the player inside the house.
“This is a shortcut to leveling up!” Song Jian’s eyes gleamed, “But first, you need a long-range weapon.”
If Li Jie hadn’t had that submachine gun, he probably wouldn’t have been able to kill that many monsters.
Just then, a golden light erupted from within the safe house.
“Did he level up?” Song Jian was surprised but soon understood. After killing so many monsters, leveling up was to be expected. However, even if he leveled up, he wouldn’t be able to wipe out ail these monsters relying solely on the safe house.
“The defense of the safe house probably isn’t much left. If this guy has any tricks left, it’ll be useless if he doesn’t use them now,” Song Jian muttered to himself.
A few more minutes passed, and the cracks in the walls of the small wooden house increased and grew. The defense had plummeted below fifty points.
Just then, several iron lumps the size of fists were thrown out from the window of the small wooden house directly into the area where the monsters were most concentrated.
Boom – boom – boom-
A series of explosions rang out in the midst of the monsters. Those few iron lumps were actually high-explosive grenades, and the area where the monsters had crowded was instantly cleared. A small mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
“Hisss, are those hand grenades?” Song Jian drew a sharp intake of breath, “No, regular hand grenades wouldn’t have this much power. The power is almost comparable to a shell. Could these be high-yield hand grenades? This guy is really lucky to be able to get his hands on something like this.”
Other players who had been spectating began to stir. Those few high-explosive grenades had wiped out fifty to sixty monsters. If they were to use them for leveling up, it would be absolutely thrilling. Even if the quantity was limited and they couldn’t use them for leveling up, having one or two on them could be a trump card, an extra insurance for their lives.
“At present in the game, no player can withstand such a powerful explosion!” “The high-explosive grenades are out, so will there be RPGs, battle vehicles, tanks, missiles, and other heavy weapons in the future?”
“Why don’t you consider nuclear bombs? With one, you could blow up the whole city and go straight to Level 999!”
Just as all the players were eyeing the scene with envy, an agonizing roar erupted from Li Jie locked within the small wooden hut.
“I found an armory dungeon in the game. If anyone can save me, I’m willing to share this dungeon with them!” Within the small wooden house, Li Jie roared in desperation.
“Armory Dungeon?”
At this moment, not only other players but Song Jian was also somewhat moved.
Soon, some players began to attempt to attack the monsters besieging the small wooden house. However, they only dared to draw the attention of some monsters on the periphery and didn’t dare to go deep into the horde.
At this juncture, facing hundreds of monsters, no one had the courage to charge into the monster horde and kill them.
The defense of Li Jie’s safe house eventually couldn’t withstand the sustained attack until he was saved by other players. It only held on for another fifteen minutes before the safe house that was just established was overrun by the surrounding monsters.
“Help-”
A chilling scream abruptly cut short. All the monsters stopped moving simultaneously, as if the pause button had been hit, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.
In a second, all the monsters mysteriously returned to calm and resumed their previous state. After some hesitation, they slowly dispersed. Finally, where the small wooden house once stood, there was nothing left but charred ground. The entire house had collapsed and seemed to have been ravaged by a massive fire, leaving nothing but wreckage.
