After some questioning, Xu Shu managed to gather some scattered pieces of news.
He collected the information, wrote it down on paper, and after comparison, he had some clues.
First off, the Star Tower had indeed fallen at noon, which was consistent with his own judgment.
And, fortunately, when the Star Tower fell, all the demons in the densely packed black blood vessels seemed to have disappeared, not one appeared—which was undoubtedly a huge relief. Otherwise, given the number of demons Xu Shu had seen at that time, the safe zone would have been blood-washed by now.
Next, the upper echelons of the safe zone had decided to hunker down in response to this catastrophe.
According to Tang Ying, the city's main force was now forming a defensive line on the city walls, fending off the creatures.
The booming sounds of gunfire that Xu Shu had heard earlier were actually the garrison's strategy: they were laying down a barrage of fire and essentially encircling the entire safe zone.
