An Suisui’s eyes lit up with delight. She circled the turrets again and again, discovering that these turrets were connected to the walls—whenever a monster entered the wall’s defensive range, the turrets would automatically fire, requiring no manual operation.
It was like giving the players a powerful new ally.
Even the other players felt that emptying their pockets for this upgrade had been totally worth it.
At the same time, An Suisui told the others, “If anyone is seriously injured and can’t keep fighting, you can hide behind the wall to save your life, but—!”
She emphasized the last part, “If you can hold on, I hope everyone does. War isn’t won by just one person. Every player who leaves puts more pressure on those who remain, and one slip could mean total defeat. Everything we’ve done so far would be wasted.”
After a short rest, An Suisui checked all her gear one last time and joined the others on the front line.
The spawn point glowed faintly, and a pitch-black little ant crawled out.
An Suisui’s mind went blank—she stabbed the ant without thinking.
The ant’s health bar emptied instantly, and it collapsed.
Was the tenth wave of monsters really this easy to kill?
An Suisui frowned, a growing sense of unease gnawing at her.
Then another monster appeared—not an ant, but a basketball-sized hedgehog.
Next came a viper, a scorpion, a flock of sheep, and even a herd of cattle.
Suddenly, a giant hand seemed to sweep away the fog in An Suisui’s mind, and an unbelievable thought flashed through her head.
The so-called tenth wave of monsters was actually a collection of every monster from the previous nine waves.
A chill ran down her spine.
If it was really all the monsters together, did that mean the bosses from each round—hippo, turtle, bear, crocodile, rhino, lion, tiger, elephant—would all show up too?
That would be a nightmare!
The other players soon noticed something was off.
Yucang, while fighting the relatively weak monsters, slowly moved closer to An Suisui.
His voice trembled as he spoke, “An Suisui, don’t these monsters look familiar? Haven’t we seen them in earlier rounds?”
An Suisui pressed her lips together, saying nothing.
Yucang started analyzing, “If all the monsters are from before, does that mean we’ll see all the mini-bosses too? And… what about the final boss?”
An Suisui could no longer stay silent. She took a deep breath and finally confirmed Yucang’s guess.
“I think the same as you.”
Yucang’s vision went dark, and he muttered, “I’m doomed.”
His momentary distraction nearly got him stung by a scorpion.
An Suisui patted his shoulder reassuringly, her gaze unwavering.
No one could say for sure they’d lose until the very end.
The bosses were strong, but hadn’t they gotten stronger too?
A flash of light appeared on the ground. An Suisui paused, slicing through the light with her blade, and it turned into a familiar item.
Huh, this time the loot was dropping during the fight, not just at the end?
Her eyes lit up. If they could get supplies mid-battle, maybe they wouldn’t lose after all.
She immediately shared the good news with the others.
The players’ spirits lifted, and their despair eased.
Who could say for sure they’d lose? What if they actually won?
The ants weren’t the main threat in this battle, but they were expert tunnelers. After some were killed, the rest immediately went underground, heading for the base.
But An Suisui wasn’t worried.
The base now had four turrets protecting the carrot, and the ground in front had been frozen into hard permafrost by her and the others, with a thick layer of ice on top.
There was no way the ants could dig through the ice.
Even if a pangolin showed up, it wouldn’t matter.
For now, the little monsters weren’t a concern—the real challenge would be the bosses appearing together.
Ten minutes after the monsters appeared, the first boss, the ant queen, showed up.
The ant queen’s skill was spawning endless ants to dig tunnels and bring other monsters to the rear.
An Suisui drew her ice gun and fired at the queen.
The ant queen was instantly frozen solid.
The players on An Suisui’s side swarmed in and killed the queen before she could break free.
Her corpse turned into a pile of loot—defensive, offensive, and energy items everywhere.
An Suisui grabbed a stamina potion and gulped it down, her cute face now tinged with ferocity.
She wore a silver helmet that protected her head but slightly blocked her vision and increased her stamina drain.
So, of all the items, she stockpiled the most stamina potions.
In a war of attrition with the bosses, stamina was everything.
Soon, the second boss, the hippo, appeared.
Without a word, An Suisui blasted it with her top-tier flamethrower before it could react, burning its skin to a crisp.
Blood seeped from its flesh, and the players quickly followed up, finishing it off.
Eight bosses left.
An Suisui kept count in her mind.
But things got tricky with the third boss.
The third boss was a super-defensive giant turtle.
The turtle’s other abilities were average, but its defense was enough to give everyone a headache.
They found a way to deal with it, but killing the turtle was slow and grueling.
And then, before they could catch their breath, the fourth boss—the brown bear—appeared at the spawn point.
Neither boss was on An Suisui’s side, but she kept a close eye on the other players and immediately noticed the problem.
This was bad—the other side might not hold out.
An Suisui quickly scanned her teammates, did a rough headcount, and grabbed Duan Qingyang, one of the stronger players.
“There are two bosses at the southwest spawn. We probably won’t get another boss here for now. I’ll take a few people to help—can you and Yucang hold this side?”
Duan Qingyang glanced at the other side and saw the battle was indeed tough.
If it was just small monsters here, they could probably hold.
He nodded, signaling An Suisui to hurry over.
“If things change here, I’ll call you back right away,” he said.
