Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

The fully automated combat bunker is a type of defensive facility in the shelter, but compared to other living facilities, it is relatively small, only about 1 cubic meter in size.

Its shape is also quite simple; it is a regular cube, and its entire body is jet black.

The bunker has four firing ports on its front, which can be used to install four crossbows.

However, what surprised Mo Ming the most was that when there were no enemy invasions, the bunker was hidden underground, but when it received orders from the shelter owner, it would rise from underground to the surface to fire.

The fully automated combat bunker has the ability to sense the characteristics of living beings and can automatically aim. The crossbow's firing direction is also quite flexible, and it can rotate 270 degrees.

Aside from the direction of the shelter, it can cover all other directions, making it virtually unobstructed coverage. After all, there's no need to point a gun at your own home.

The bunkers were built relatively quickly, taking only a dozen seconds on average. In less than an hour, 80 fully automated combat bunkers were completed and installed in their pre-determined locations.

Next came 320 crossbows and countless bolts...

By the time all of this was completed, there was less than half an hour left before the monster siege. Mo Ming had almost exhausted all the materials he had traded and equipped each bunker with 100 iron crossbow bolts.

In this world without firearms, at least not yet, crossbows are essentially rifles. Although they are not repeating crossbows and cannot fire in rapid succession, requiring a wait for automatic reloading after each shot, they are still iron weapons and their power is indeed considerable.

Mo Ming tested one of the bunkers at a distance of about 10 meters. The crossbow's hit rate was very impressive, reaching over 90%, and it was even able to penetrate the trunk of a tree with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

If wild beasts come, who can withstand being pierced by a thousand arrows unless they have skin of copper and bones of iron?

At this moment, Mo Ming already had a picture in his mind.

Just as Mo Ming was lost in his daydreams, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out from the Misty World:

Good evening, fellow survivors!

The monster siege event will begin in 10 minutes.

[Teleportation Array Orb Now Being Issued]

This teleportation array orb is a one-time consumable item, allowing only one round trip, but it can carry multiple units.

The appearance rate of various teleportation orbs will increase after the Monster Siege event.

[Starting random monster strength matching]

Best of luck to everyone!

The cold, mechanical voice abruptly stopped, and the world chat channel was unmuted. As the monster siege intensity deduction ended, the chat channel erupted in excitement once more.

"Holy crap! Why did I get a Grade A draw? Is the heavens against me?!"

"Haha, bad luck can't be blamed on society, I'm a third-rate person."

"Any talented guys out there? I only got a B-rank prize, I'm so scared~"

"Don't be afraid, little sister, I'll help you."

"Just passing by in a lowly position~"

"+1"

"+1"

"Why wasn't I rated A?"

"Are you tired of living, upstairs?"

"I was just confident in myself, you don't know anything."

"Wow! Can you help me, handsome? I'll pay you!"

A picture of a woman with long, black stockings and legs appeared in the chat channel, and her private parts could be vaguely seen.

"I'm reporting that someone here is engaging in illegal transactions and posting obscene images on public channels."

"I advise you upstairs to mind your own business."

"+1"

"+1"

......

Inside the shelter, Mo Ming looked at the lottery results: Grade A.

A slight smile played on his lips. This was the result he wanted. The higher the difficulty, the better the reward. He now possessed eight emerald-level pets capable of combat, 80 fully automated combat bunkers, and thousands of crossbow bolts.

With this level of combat power, he's matched with a low-ranking character? He'd be devastated.

After exchanging the lottery results with Song Yufei, Mo Ming also began to prepare for the upcoming monster siege.

Song Yufei drew a B grade, but Mo Ming wasn't worried. Despite Song Yufei's unassuming demeanor, Mo Ming was certain that she was quite capable.

Having heard her mention a secret weapon, Mo Ming felt even less worried.

Liu Heng also sent a message to Mo Ming, asking about the lottery results and whether he needed any support.

Mo Ming chuckled and said there was no need.

[Monster Siege Begins Now!]

As the mechanical sounds of the Misty World abruptly ceased, Mo Ming arrived at the second-floor balcony of the shelter, bringing the Guardian Radar with him.

I don't know if it was a special arrangement by the Misty World, but the moon is exceptionally large tonight. The bright moonlight shines on the earth from all directions, and with the reflection of the white snow, the whole night is as bright as day.

Looking up, dark figures could be seen rushing toward the shelter from all directions.

The two bears, along with five giant man-eating plants, were already in position, positioned in all directions around the shelter, ready to eliminate any wild animals that might enter.

Xiao Jin then flew into the night sky to guard the skies.

Mo Ming's tactic was to wait until the beasts were within range of the bunker's crossbows, and then use the crossbow bolts to wear them down.

Mo Ming's order was: not a single one should be left; shoot them all out for me.

Crossbow bolts can be made again, but if it can relieve some of the stress on the pets, Mo Ming would be happy to do so.

If any wild animals approach the sanctuary, the pets will kill them.

This will protect your pets from harm to the greatest extent possible.

Looking at the densely packed yellow-green dots on the radar, Mo Ming was taken aback.

Although he was somewhat prepared that there would be many Grade A monsters, Mo Ming really didn't expect there to be so many. Was this a beast tide?

Based on the monster information displayed on the guardian radar, Mo Ming estimated that there were at least 10 emerald green level monsters, about 30 pale yellow level monsters, and at least 40 or 50 gray-white level monsters.

Thankfully, there aren't any Deep Blue-level ones.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Mo Ming's forehead without him noticing. Luckily, he was well-prepared, otherwise, he would have really messed up!

As the beast tide drew ever closer, Mo Ming issued a command to summon all the fully automated combat bunkers from underground.

On Song Yufei's side.

Because her sanctuary was backed by a cliff, she only needed to deal with the wild beasts in front of her.

At this moment, the entire shelter was enveloped in a golden light, and two dark figures were erected in front of the shelter's fence.

If Mo Ming were here, he would be utterly astonished and would be begging Song Yufei to take care of him.

Those are two cannons!

At this moment, Song Yufei was standing behind the cannon with a smile on her face. There were two boxes of black cannonballs at her feet. She was just waiting for the wild beast to get close so she could fire the cannon!

The only drawback is that the cannon requires manual loading before firing. If it could be automated like Mo Ming's fully automatic battle fortress, then...

However, two of our cannons have already put us ahead of most people!

On Mo Ming's side, the beast horde had already closed to within ten meters of the shelter. Seizing the opportunity, Mo Ming gave an order:

"emission!"
