Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
We don't know what's going on outside, so we can't rashly activate Level 1 combat readiness, as that would not be good for the people inside the city. At Liu Ning's level, ordinary ferocious beasts are unlikely to attract their attention, and even if they were to fight, it would be difficult for them to improve. Many warriors have encountered this situation: when fighting against simulated characters in the city, they can achieve 100% victory, and even know how the opponent's moves are executed,...
While everyone else prepared to return to the city, Liu Ning remained in the wilderness. His attitude was different from the others; none of them wanted to stay there at night, as there were no guards on duty every night. But Liu Ning felt he should stay. He hadn't investigated the situation during the day, so he could only use the night to continue his investigation. No one knew what the situation was like here, and if they didn't understand, the city might be in danger. Although Liu Ning's heart was slightly cold now, leaving a city of over 100 million people empty was definitely not what he should do. If something happened, he probably would never be able to forgive himself.
Liu Ning was very clear about the current situation and knew exactly what to do. If he went back tonight, everything here might start all over again tomorrow. If that happened, his presence here would have been pointless. The darkness of night had just begun, and the entire area outside the city was completely silent, without a sound. This was very illogical. Normally, this was when his brothers would be happiest, howling and instilling fear in the people inside the city.
Why can't humans stay in the wild at night? Even those who go out hunting must find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and suppress their presence at night so that these ferocious beasts won't discover them. This is the main reason. If you don't do this, and these ferocious beasts discover your presence, it won't be a simple matter. These ferocious beasts are capable of anything. Their noses are extremely sensitive at night. Now, Liu Ning deliberately released his presence, and soon several bright eyes appeared in the darkness.
Unlike humans, ferocious beasts cannot see anything in such pitch-black environments. It's quite normal for them to be completely blind. But ferocious beasts are different. On moonless nights, their penetrating vision becomes stronger. This is a talent they possess, and even if we humans wanted to learn it, we probably couldn't. We can solve some things through calculation, but we can't even dream of such talents. It's a huge gap between the two sides. Even with many scientific research institutions, humans still can't enable ordinary people to see clearly at night.
The soldiers on the city wall were also on high alert. They sensed something was different today. If it were any other day, with all sorts of howls outside, they would find it perfectly normal. But tonight, it was eerily quiet. Not only were the high-level ferocious beasts nowhere to be seen, but even some low-level beasts were nowhere to be found. They didn't know what the reason was. Could something be going on tonight? So the officer on duty immediately reported to his superiors, hoping to strengthen the defenses on the city wall. Originally, this section of the wall was only defended by 70,000 men. The higher-ups took this matter very seriously and immediately dispatched an additional 30,000 men, which was practically equivalent to a level two combat readiness.
What is Level 2 combat readiness? It means that about one-third of the city's soldiers are on alert. If anything happens, the remaining soldiers can arrive within ten minutes. Although many people are still sleeping soundly in their barracks, they are very close to their weapons and are not allowed to take off their clothes to sleep. They all sleep in their clothes so that they can reach the city wall within ten minutes. If something happens, this time is extremely precious; the difference between one minute earlier and one minute later is enormous.
Take the laser cannons on the city wall, for example. They are all powered by dedicated power sources now, but if they are damaged by something thrown in by the ferocious beasts, the backup power sources must be activated. Next to each backup power source, there must be at least a hundred soldiers watching over it, each responsible for a small section in front of them. If there is any problem in their area, it must be repaired within a few minutes. That is what they are supposed to do. If we're talking about Level 1 combat readiness, it means that everyone will stop sleeping and enter combat mode. We don't know what's going on outside, so we can't rashly activate Level 1 combat readiness, as that would not be good for the people inside the city.
Many residents in the city were watching these people. When the army turned off their lights at night, it was the most comfortable time for the residents, meaning nothing was happening that night. If the lights were still on, it meant something was going on. If they announced in advance that there would be training that night, the residents wouldn't care so much. But tonight, there was no news that the sky was brightly lit in the direction of the training camp. Many residents were worried, wondering what was happening outside. After all, they didn't know anything about the situation outside. If something happened, it would be their own bad luck and wouldn't concern anyone else.
Liu Ning listened carefully to the roars outside. With his current abilities, he could basically distinguish their types by listening to the sounds. Although there were quite a few types outside, there weren't many powerful ones. Most of them were easy targets. These things would be very difficult for ordinary people to deal with, but for Liu Ning, they were nothing. If Liu Ning wanted to, he could wipe out these guys' entire clans in one night. Don't think this is a joke; Liu Ning's strength was definitely at that level. As for whether these guys could withstand it, that was their own business and had nothing to do with them.
All the searchlights on the city wall were turned on, constantly looking down. Others didn't understand what was going on, but Liu Ning knew very well. It seemed that the officers here weren't the bosses; at least they still had their uses. If they couldn't see anything, then it was purely their own problem. If they weren't at all nervous about this situation outside, they should be sent to a military court.
However, Liu Ning didn't have time to deal with their affairs at the moment. He had his own things to attend to. Liu Ning couldn't stay put any longer because he realized that there were no cries coming from one direction. The cries only came from the surrounding area, which meant that there must be a high-level ferocious beast in this place. The ferocious beasts had a strict hierarchy. No matter what race you were, if you didn't have the strength, you could only stay obediently on the sidelines. You couldn't have your own territory. Only high-level ferocious beasts and above had their own territories, and there wouldn't be any other ferocious beasts around them. If you went near them, you could just wait to become their food.
This is basically the situation at this moment. All around are various roars, and ferocious beasts of different races are tangled together. Only this direction is completely silent. Liu Ning uses wind magic to slowly float up and walk forward. This has minimal impact on the surrounding airflow. Unless it's a war god-level ferocious beast, other beasts won't even notice him. Liu Ning doesn't want to alert the enemy; he just wants to see what kind of enemy he's facing. If it's very powerful, he can test his strength today. Of course, if it's just an ordinary one, Liu Ning will be somewhat disappointed. He's gone to so much trouble; of course, he wants to see what the situation is like. If he can resolve it, it will naturally be very beneficial to him.
At Liu Ning's level, ordinary ferocious beasts are unlikely to attract their attention, and even if they were to fight, it would be difficult for them to improve. Therefore, in this situation, they must challenge some powerful figures. As long as these powerful figures can bring them even a little progress, it would be a very good thing for them. Of course, in this situation, things are not as simple as you say. If everything were done according to your wishes, the current situation would be different. In the current situation, everyone's thoughts are the same, and the solutions are also the same. It all depends on your final decision. The people on the other side must have sensed Liu Ning's arrival and completely concealed their aura.
Just now, Liu Ning could still sense some information about the beast, but now he can't sense anything at all. This means that the opponent is not a simple creature; at least, it is an existence that surpasses the God of War. Such a creature is perfect for Liu Ning. Liu Ning had encountered such an opponent before, and the two had fought fiercely. However, Liu Ning did not gain much advantage; on the contrary, he was taught a good lesson. It was not that Liu Ning's actual strength was insufficient, but rather that Liu Ning lacked experience in dealing with such situations. Therefore, he was defeated in the battle, which was quite disgusting.
If one's own strength is insufficient, then whatever you say is correct. But if one's own ability is lacking, then some things are hard to say. In the current situation, this is what Liu Ning finds most annoying. He is now eager to improve his strength, that is, his combat ability. Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, this ability is probably the most difficult to improve. You have to find different opponents. If there are no different opponents, it is probably impossible to improve this ability by relying solely on your own hard training.
Human society also has many simulated enemies, but these simulated enemies are not real. They are simply based on previously revealed fighting skills, all of which are input into the computer. It can only list possible scenarios, not things that haven't happened yet. So, in such a case, for example, if your enemy is a god-level powerhouse, what are their internal potentials? The computer has no idea, and you can't know that from the computer either. This is the most frustrating thing.
Many warriors have encountered this situation: when fighting against simulated characters in the city, they can achieve 100% victory, and even know how the opponent's moves are executed, so they are fully prepared. However, when they encounter real enemies, they are beaten terribly. Why is this? It's because the opponent hasn't revealed a part of their skills; that part is their trump card. You might also have your own trump cards, but if the difference in these skills is too great, then you can only get a good beating, which is perfectly normal.
At this moment, Liu Ning stopped hiding and simply revealed his strength. As soon as Liu Ning did this, the surrounding air currents were like a Force 12 gale, quickly enveloping the entire forest. Many centuries-old trees were blown down. No one had ever seen such power before. The city wall was already 11 kilometers away, but it still suffered a huge impact. However, Liu Ning had already given prior notice, so not many soldiers outside were injured. On the contrary, many officers were so frightened that they wanted to run back. They had never seen such a strong air current before.
If it were a weather issue, it would be somewhat understandable. But if it were emanating from someone's aura, then it's no simple matter. These people are well aware of everything they're doing. When they think back on these events, it might be the time they can boast the most in their lives. They are too close to the strongest humans. Such an event only happens once in a lifetime, and that's enough for them to brag about. As for what happens next, that's probably their own problem. No one else knows what's going on.
The people in the forest quickly became frightened. They had originally thought their strength was about the same as Liu Ning's, but when this current of energy came out, they realized how vast the gap was between them. If this continued, it would probably kill them. Therefore, they had to dodge. If they continued as before, it would only mean they were out of their minds. So, no matter what they thought, they couldn't get over this hurdle.
