Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 28 She's Here

"Ding, alarm! Player Mu Xiaoxiao has launched an invasion of your secret camp."

Lei Chi was spying on the Beast Tower player chat panel when he suddenly received a system notification.

"She's here! She's here!"

Lei Chi's spirits lifted. He had already repurchased the intrusion insurance and rearranged the defensive towers, eagerly anticipating a player's invasion.

As for Mu Xiaoxiao, Lei Chi knew she was a player from the Flying Fire Camp because he had seen her post recruitment information for the Flying Fire Camp in the public chat group.

"The Flying Fire Camp accompanied me as I grew up; I hope to have the opportunity to send them a banner of appreciation!"

Lei Chi pondered silently for a moment, then quickly ran towards the chicken farm.

Players only have ten minutes to clear the camp square after invading it. Lei Chi is worried that the invading players won't be able to kill all the fighting chickens, so he plans to lead the fighting chickens to the camp square first to make it easier for them to deal with them.

At this very moment, in the war hall of the Flying Fire Camp, Mu Xiaoxiao, Wu Jingang, Chen Hanxiang, Ma Dongqi, and Su Youlin had already gathered together.

These five people were the ones who teamed up to invade the secret camp of Lei Chi.

They weren't in a hurry to attack; instead, they discussed things in front of the portal.

Mu Xiaoxiao said, "Those Lei Chi players are from the Beast Tower. Their camp defense index is 45. The defense tower probably can't kill them instantly, but we can't be careless. Jin Gang, you'll be the first to charge in with your oak shield."

"No problem, I'll carry the tower!"

Wu Jingang said confidently.

He took the initiative to approach Mu Xiaoxiao's team.

Chen Yufei assigned him the mission of infiltrating Qixinger's camp, but what mission was more important than spending time with Xiaoxiao? As a "simp," he couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Wu Jingang was naturally very confident. Judging from his interaction with Lei Chi, that guy seemed like a newbie. He was currently level 22 with 2200 health points, equipped with an oak shield that increased his armor by one point, and had two small health potions that could instantly restore 500 health points. Taking down a tower shouldn't be a problem for him.

Su Youlin raised his hand and said, "Little Elder, aren't we a bit short-handed? Should we call a few more people over?"

Mu Xiaoxiao said, "There's no need for that. The defense index is over 40, not over 400. Five of us are enough. Besides, launching an invasion requires paying gold coins per person, so it's not worth it if there are too many people."

At this stage, when players team up to launch an invasion war, each player needs to pay one gold coin. If Mu Xiaoxiao forms a team of five, then it will cost five gold coins.

Mu Xiaoxiao was originally going to pay for the five gold coins, since it was a guild activity and she didn't want everyone to split the bill. She could ask Chen Yufei for reimbursement later.

However, the enthusiastic Wu Jingang paid for it before she did.

The five people went over some more details, and then Wu Jingang, with his oak shield, was the first to rush into the portal.

"Charge for glory!"

He shouted.

Chen Hanxiang, Ma Dongqi, and Su Youlin followed closely behind, while Mu Xiaoxiao rode her Beast brand bicycle and was the last to enter the portal.

Crossing the portal, you arrive at the [War Corridor]. With a loud bang, a pale blue lightning bolt strikes Wu Jingang's head, causing him to shudder. At the same time, a mouthful of green venom and two white bristles hit him.

"-4, Lightning strike paralysis, movement speed reduced by 60%!"

"-3! Poison gas has entered the body!"

"-3!"

"-3!"

Damage numbers and status indicators appeared above Wu Jingang's head; he was under concentrated fire from the [Little Green Snake], the [Thunder Lizard], and two [Porcupines].

These four defensive towers are right next to the [Time-Space Wormhole], occupying the original positions of the four little tigers at the entrance. Behind them are two [little tigers], then a [little sea turtle] and a [little yellow duck], and several dozen meters away is the [big tiger]!

Wu Jingang is equipped with an oak shield, which provides some armor and 5.7% physical damage reduction. According to the damage reduction formula, the [Porcupine] with 4 attack power can deal 3.77 damage per attack. However, in the Tata world, actual damage is not a decimal, so the final damage is 3 points, without rounding.

Therefore, having some armor versus having no armor makes a huge difference, and the same applies to magic resistance.

"I've been slowed down, damn it, slowed down by 60%!"

Wu Jingang shouted and ran forward with the project shield on his head.

The slowing effect is completely different when it affects players and monsters. When monsters are slowed down, it's like they're in slow motion.

The player was slowed down, but his movement speed remained the same. Wu Jingang ran quickly, looking incredibly powerful, like a 100-meter sprint, but it was like he was walking in the moonwalk, or like he was on a treadmill. In reality, his movement speed was extremely slow.

He was slowed down by the lightning strike, his movement speed reduced by 60%. He was the first to rush out of the [War Corridor], but was instantly overtaken by the others.

Chen Hanxiang, Ma Dongqi, and Su Youlin all ran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, covering ten meters in less than two seconds.

On the contrary, Mu Xiaoxiao, who appeared last on a bicycle, was not slowed down, but became the second target of the little green snake in front of the spacetime wormhole and was spat a mouthful of poisonous phlegm on the back of her head.

"-4! Poison gas has entered the body!"

Damage numbers appeared above her head.

However, she only took that one hit and was not attacked again afterward.

"What's going on?"

Finding that they had not received any attacks, Chen Hanxiang and the others stopped. When they turned around, they saw Wu Jingang running in space with an oak shield on his head, and a lightning bolt as thick as a thumb struck his head, while two white bristles stuck in his back.

Until Wu Jingang is killed or goes out of range of these three defensive towers, the two [Porcupines] and [Thunder Lizards] will not change their attack targets.

Chen Hanxiang and his group also saw the defense towers on both sides of the [Time-Space Wormhole]. They could see the names and tiers of the defense towers, but not their specific attributes.

"This tower..."

Ma Dongqi couldn't help but say, "That guy named Lei Chi, he really doesn't know how to play. Placing a ranged tower at the entrance, isn't that wasting half of its attack range?"

Chen Hanxiang laughed, "They put the four melee fighters at the entrance, and you said they didn't know how to play. Now they put the ranged towers at the entrance, and you still say they don't know how to play? How are they supposed to play?"

Su Youlin said, "This guy's got talent. All he knows is building defensive towers at the entrance..."

As the four walked forward another twenty meters, Su Youlin saw two large tigers about ten meters behind them and exclaimed in surprise, "Look, what's that? Large tigers? Second-tier tower? How did they get these?"

At this moment, Wu Jingang also ran out.

In fact, once he ran ten meters in the War Corridor, he was no longer attacked by the Little Green Snake. After running 20 meters, he was out of range of the two porcupines. After running 30 meters, the Thunder Lizard could no longer hit him, and the slowing effect was quickly removed from him.

"Let me carry the load in front, and run with me!"

As Wu Jingang spoke, he continued running forward, bracing himself against the oak shield.

At this point, he had 26 porcupine quills on his body and 2015 health points remaining, meaning he had only lost 185 health points.

Soon, the roar of a tiger echoed through the War Corridor, and Wu Jingang was slowed down again.

Following closely behind, Chen Hanxiang also provoked the second "big tiger" to roar.

This time, however, they were only slowed down, but not attacked.

Ma Dongqi shook his head and sighed, "What's going on here? The [Big Tiger] can slow down enemies? Then why not put it in front? What's the point of slowing it down here? There are no defensive towers attacking it. Isn't it just a waste of the slowing effect?"

He felt once again that Lei Chi didn't know how to play, and wished he could teach him how to set up the tower.

Mu Xiaoxiao stopped the car and took a look at the War Corridor. She saw a small tortoise tower in the latter half of the War Corridor. It seemed that at the end of the War Corridor, there was a large tortoise carrying a cannon. It didn't look like a Tier 1 tower. It might be a Tier 2 ranged tower. However, it was still far away and she couldn't see the name of the tower.

"What kind of defensive tower layout is this? Could it be worse than this? Ranged towers on both sides, and slowing towers in the middle? With this, they expect to break through the 6th wave of jungle monsters?"

Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she'd been struck by lightning.

She just couldn't understand what kind of brain circuit would place the defense towers like that.

At this moment, Chen Hanxiang said, "This little piece of trash just randomly places defensive towers."

Su Youlin raised his hand and asked, "Big Tiger, Big Tiger, is it the Little Tiger that's leveling up? How can that Thunder Pool allow a Little Tiger to level up?"

Wu Jingang said, "Stay close to me, let's rush into the camp square in one go, this broken tower can't stop me..."

Little did these five people know that Lei Chi was afraid his defensive towers were too strong and that invading players wouldn't be able to break through, so he deliberately placed the defensive towers loosely to ensure the safety of the invading players as much as possible.

He went to great lengths to ensure his secret camp could be successfully invaded.
