The Lone Walker

At the gate, there was a middle-aged man with one arm in military uniform, a pipe in his mouth, a long sword in front of him, and a fierce look in his eyes, looking angry without being intimidating, like a general. This man was Li Guolong, the armed forces chief of Huangshui County.

Chen Fan learned from his father that in this disaster, the threat to Huangshui County mainly came from the water. In order to save a baby that was taken away by a giant python, Minister Li lost an arm.

Seeing this man in person, Chen Fan couldn't help but stand in awe. Moreover, from him, Chen Fan sensed that he had a strength no less than the ninth level of the acquired realm...

"Hello, Minister Li. Our family is going to Kyoto. Please open the city gate." Chen Fan bowed to Li Guolong.

"Haha, young man, did you call the helicopter outside the door? Moreover, you are not simple to sneak in right under my nose." Li Guolong looked at Chen Fan deeply and said.

"I don't deserve it..." Chen Fan was stunned, thinking that it must be the militia who came to deliver food yesterday who reported it to him, no wonder he looked at him strangely at that time. So he scratched his head and said shyly.

"Young man, are you interested in joining us? I can see that you have special skills, but are you willing to watch your fellow countrymen being devoured by strange beasts..." Li Guolong looked at the young man in front of him and asked the ultimate question.

Chen Fan was silent.

……

The earth suddenly trembled, and the water level in the river rose sharply...

"Minister, it's bad. The giant python is here again, and there are many mutant wild boars and sika deer." A patrol soldier standing on the city wall shouted.

"Damn, it comes again." Li Guolong said angrily, his broken arm was aching slightly.

In the distance, I saw a giant python that looked like a dragon attacking Huangshui County along the river.

Because of the special circumstances, the helicopter from Kyoto outside the city wall gradually took off after receiving Li Guolong's order and landed in the square inside the city.

"Young man, if you want to leave, leave quickly. You can transfer a military helicopter from Kyoto, which shows that you are from a powerful family. These strange beasts have unique physical advantages, and with the mutations, they are getting stronger day by day. I don't know how long I can hold on with my broken body..." Li Guolong said.

"Everyone be on alert, fight to the death." Seeing that Chen Fan remained silent for a long time and the situation outside the city was extremely urgent, Li Guolong roared, jumped, and flew onto the city wall.

"Son, let's go quickly. In this kind of world, we can only protect ourselves." Seeing his son silent, Chen Hu patted Chen Fan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice. Then, he pulled him and his wife onto the helicopter.

The plane slowly took off. Chen Fan looked down and saw densely packed mutant wild boars and sika deer stopped 200 meters away from the city wall. A giant python jumped out of the water, spitting out a long tongue.

……

Li Guolong, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the helicopter going away, sighed slightly, and then looked at the giant python with a boiling desire to fight. This giant python was the culprit that caused his arm to be broken.

But it was stronger than the first time it fought with it. The scales on its body were shining and hard as iron, and it seemed to have horns growing on its head.

It is said that snakes hold grudges, and sure enough, although the giant python caused Li Guolong to break his arm, it itself was also cut by Li Guolong's long knife with a long wound. When the enemies met at this time, they were extremely jealous of each other and a battle was about to break out.

If Li Guolong had not been there, Huangshui County would have been a river of blood had it encountered an army of ferocious beasts of this level.

But this time, the giant python, because of its powerful strength, has developed intelligence. It actually drove the mutant wild boars and sika deer from the farm outside the city to come together, vowing to take revenge.

The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and then with a roar from the giant python, the army of mutant beasts launched an attack on the city wall.

Although there were heavy losses in China, satellite phones in various places were still usable, so the top leaders ordered airdrops of supplies to the survivors, which solved the urgent problem. Huangshui County was one of the beneficiaries.

Moreover, due to Li Guolong's request, the military district airdropped countless guns and ammunition, providing sufficient firepower. What was lacking was only high-end combat power.

At this time, facing the attack of ferocious beasts, artillery fire, and bullets poured out. These strange beasts have mutated and have thick skin and flesh, so they can be harmed by more than just artillery fire.

Unless the bullets hit the weak points, they cannot penetrate the beast's defense. Fortunately, there are enough artillery shells, otherwise Huangshui County would have been breached with just this one wave.

The two sides gradually fell into a stalemate. Seeing that they could not take the city down after a long attack, the giant python dragged its dozens of meters long body towards the city wall.

Seeing this, Li Guolong drew out his long sword and flew over to fight him. The two sides fought back and forth, and they were evenly matched...

When the other strange beasts saw their boss taking action, they retreated one after another, which made the soldiers guarding the city breathe a sigh of relief. Then they looked nervously at Li Guolong who was fighting with the giant python in the distance.

Although Li Guolong's realm was not high, his swordsmanship was superb and his body movements were extremely agile. It was a pity that the giant python had mutated after a few days and had become invulnerable to swords and guns, which made it difficult for him to defeat the opponent.

At this time, the giant python opened its bloody mouth, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth. Li Guolong raised his knife to block, but the python bit the blade and he could not withdraw, and the python entangled his body.

"Haha, it feels so good, so good," Li Guolong suddenly laughed, bursting out with unprecedented strength to break free from the giant python's restraints, and retreated dozens of steps.

It turned out that he had just made a breakthrough in the battle and had reached the innate realm. Unfortunately, he did not have time to comprehend the changes in his own realm. With a long sword in hand, he stood up and fought with the giant python again, and gradually gained the upper hand.

……

"Ding, swish, swish." With a crisp sound, the long sword in Li Guolong's hand shattered in his surprised expression and scattered around. Several strange beasts that had no time to dodge were killed on the spot.

As the long sword shattered, Li Guolong's face became extremely solemn. All his martial arts were based on the long sword. Now without the weapon, it was like a bird with broken wings. The situation took a turn for the worse.

Even though he had just made a breakthrough in the battle, due to the urgency of the situation, he had no time to experience it carefully. Without his weapon at this time, the situation was even worse, and his combat effectiveness dropped a lot.

A sly look flashed in the giant python's eyes as it attacked Li Guolong. Li Guolong had no choice but to fight back. Unfortunately, the blows he made didn't hurt the giant python at all, and it was difficult to cause any effective damage to it.

It was a dangerous situation for a while. If it weren't for his agile body, Li Guolong would have been buried in the python's belly.

"Hu." After avoiding the giant python's attack again and flying backwards, Li Guolong let out a long breath, his palms turned red and trembled slightly.

He had tried his best. If he had not thought of the soldiers, the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the city, he would have collapsed long ago.

He was able to hold on until now only because of the faith in his heart, but now he was like a candle in the wind, and facing the fierce attack of the giant python, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for much longer...

"Run, everyone run quickly, I will buy you the last time," Li Guolong used all his internal strength to shout loudly to the people on the city wall.
