Chapter 215: Chapter 215: The Choice
In the blink of an eye, Long Ming and his group successfully scaled the city wall.
They looked up and gazed ahead. An array of strange and unique buildings greeted them—a blend of modern and classical architecture built right into the mountainside.
Although the ruins of the entire inner city had been ravaged by cannon fire and were now devastated, they could still see traces of its former prosperity.
A gentle breeze blew past, making the tips of their hair dance in the wind.
"Wow, so this is the inner city. It looks amazing!"
Zhihan and the others said with a sigh of admiration.
"Let’s go."
Luoxue waved her hand and led the group down the stairs.
They then hurried along the sloping streets, making their way quickly toward Koman Laboratory.
As they passed an intersection and turned right, they came face to face with a dozen or so scattered Blood Breath Spiders.
SKREE~
The Blood Breath Spiders opened their ugly maws at Luoxue and her group.
BANG! BANG!
Long Ming and the others decisively pulled their triggers, firing in short bursts.
One by one, the Blood Breath Spiders were cleanly shot and killed.
Long Ming looked at the automatic rifle in his hands with some surprise. ’This rifle’s power is pretty strong. Its design is similar to the Black Shadow, much better than the SAC-01 model, and it’s easy to handle.’
He immediately scanned the firearm with his wristband.
BSK-01 Assault Rifle: Assaulter
Durability: 98/100
Caliber: 7.62mm rounds
After reading the information, Long Ming decided to use this gun as his primary weapon.
Seeing the monsters dealt with, Luoxue led the group to press forward quickly.
However, they hadn’t gone far when Zhihan suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Sister Luoxue, everyone, look at the shop windows on both sides!"
Luoxue and the others were taken aback. They stopped and turned to look at the shop windows.
Inside the transparent glass displays were luxurious clothes, exquisite jeweled accessories, high-end watches, and brand-new service robots, among other goods.
Jing Chuan and the others instinctively raised their wristbands to scan them.
Danike Fashionable Outerwear
Grade: Purple
Stephen’s Necklace

DCW-01 Smart Service Robot
Grade: Red
...
"Holy crap, it’s all Purple and Red-grade stuff!"
"How many 1D Coins do you think this stuff is worth? We’ve struck it rich!"
...
Jing Chuan and the others looked at the items displayed in the shop windows, their faces filled with excitement.
Long Ming was also very surprised to see this. ’I can’t believe the things left here are so valuable.’
"Luoxue, let’s just take a little!"
"Yeah, there’s so much stuff!"
...
Mira and the others all looked at Luoxue with expectant eyes.
Their Fifth Battle Group was practically dirt poor; they had never seen such a treasure trove.
Luoxue was now in a difficult position. She certainly understood her team’s desire, so she turned to look at Long Ming.
Faced with Luoxue’s gaze, Long Ming didn’t know how to respond and could only silently turn his head away.
Seeing the decision once again fell to her, Luoxue gave the order without any hesitation.
"No looting. Full speed to Koman Laboratory. We’ll come back for this stuff later!"
"Yes!"
Mira and the others looked extremely reluctant.
Hearing Luoxue’s words, Long Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ’If we stop to loot now, we might not make it to the laboratory in time.’
In truth, you couldn’t blame Mira and the others.
The items were all high-grade, and if they took them back, they could exchange them for a lot of 1D Coins.
Most importantly, the price of 1D Coins was currently skyrocketing. The exchange rate with Mountain Coins had already risen to 50 to 1.
As the currency of Civilization Paradise, many people were speculating about its purpose.
After all, Civilization Paradise had already integrated with reality, so 1D Coins must have some special use.
The current exchange rate of 50 to 1 was based on the fact that 1D Coins hadn’t yet shown any special function, and everyone still needed to use Mountain Coins for purchases.
Otherwise, the value of a 1D Coin might even surpass that of a Mountain Coin.
Therefore, anyone would be tempted by such a great fortune.
Luoxue waved her hand and said to the group.
"Move out."
"Yes!"
The group followed Luoxue, rushing toward Koman Laboratory.
...
「Aimengka City.」
Under the protection of a squad of soldiers, the Pilates Streamer climbed a skyscraper and pointed the camera at the sky.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Rockets and artillery shells streaked across the sky, falling like rain onto the city streets.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
One after another, the Blood Corpse Beasts were blown to smithereens.
"Everyone, I am currently on a tall building on the south side of Aimengka City, and as you can see, Mountain City Mountain’s First Legion is laying down covering fire. The vanguard is advancing rapidly under the cover of artillery. I’ll zoom in now to give you a look at the latest situation."
While speaking, the Pilates Streamer tapped their wristband to zoom the camera, uploading the footage to Civilization Paradise in real-time.
As the camera zoomed in...
On the main central street.
Captain Alang, clad in a suit of gray second-generation exoskeleton armor and wielding a Metal Blade, led the charge.
"ROAR!"
An elite-grade Blood Corpse Beast lunged viciously at Captain Alang.
Captain Alang didn’t dodge at all, simply swinging his Metal Blade as they passed each other.
SLICE!
The elite Blood Corpse Beast’s neck was severed, and dark red blood splattered all over Captain Alang.
Just then, an elite Blood Breath Dog leaped from a nearby building, pouncing straight for Captain Alang.
"Captain Alang, watch out!"
A subordinate nearby shouted, their expression changing slightly.
BANG!
A gunshot rang out. The Blood Breath Dog was instantly shot in the head, its body crashing heavily to the ground.
Captain Alang glanced over and saw the distant sniper, Bai Chuan, giving him an "all clear" gesture.
...
「Uzika City.」
The streamer Sun Zhou lay prone on a rooftop, speaking nervously to the camera.
"Everyone, I’m here in Uzika City, one of the three major cities, reporting to you from the front lines. The main assault force here is Mountain City Mountain’s Fourth Legion. The battle is extremely fierce. Since the monsters entrenched here are mostly Blood Breath Butterflies, the bombardment has been very ineffective. They can only advance with manpower. I’ll now broadcast the specific battle situation for you."
After speaking, the streamer Sun Zhou aimed the camera toward the distant battlefield.
Soldiers could be seen holding firearms, firing in short bursts at the attacking Blood Breath Butterflies in groups of five.
BANG! BANG!
One by one, the Blood Breath Butterflies were hit and fell from the sky.
Some Blood Breath Butterflies that broke through the hail of bullets pounced on the soldiers.
The soldiers who were tackled immediately pulled the pins on their grenades!
BOOM!
A massive explosion engulfed them both.
Just as the Fourth Legion’s troops were continuing their advance, a five-meter-tall, General-grade Blood Breath Butterfly swarmed in with a flock of elite-grade ones, spraying red powder at the soldiers.
"AHHH!"
Soldier after soldier was splashed by the red powder, their entire bodies seeming to catch fire as they let out agonizing screams.
In an instant, the offensive was halted.
