nAlthough the old man looked very old, his voice was stentorian like a large bell.

n“We don’t have the option to reselect participants for the Tower Defense. All we can do is place our hopes on him.”

nEveryone in the conference room looked solemn.

nThey naturally knew everything about their own country.

nAfter the failure in the previous Tower Defense game, Country M could no longer afford to lose.

nIf Pierce died, Country M would cease to exist!

nBefore the game started, they had made many preparations for the Tower Defense.

nBut now, there was no use for any of them.

nIt was because there was an error in the participant selection in the Tower Defense Survival.

n

n

nEven the audience in the live broadcast room could guess why Pierce’s city was in the plains.

nIt was nothing more than compensation from the game.

nHowever, a slightly better environment was completely useless when only one person was guarding the country.

nAt this moment.

nNews that only one person from Country M was participating in the Tower Defense spread.

nThe entire world learned about the tragic state of Country M.

nSome people even changed their nationality overnight, bought plane tickets, and fled overseas.

nIt was as if Country M was filled with poisonous gas, and the people refused to stay a second longer.

nEven some of the posts online were flaming Pierce.

nThe Tower Defense had made an error in the number of participants, so they had nowhere to vent their frustration other than on the only participant.

nThe country was about to perish, and human nature was revealed at this moment.

nIt was expressed incisively.

n“I’ve asked around. There are at least seven special forces soldiers among Blossoms Country’s participants. It should be safer there!”

n“Tsk, I’ve already brought my family to the Eagle Country.”

n“Stop talking, I’ll go buy the tickets now!”

n“In the future, this place will be filled with monsters!”

n…

nThe heated discussion continued, and Country M responded to this.

nAnyone who leaves the country during the Tower Defense would never be accepted back!

n————

nIn the Tower Defense world.

nPierce had dug out the plain stone.

nHe strolled into the city.

nIn the huge city, there were a few crossbow launchers on the city gate.

nThere was not a single soldier.

nCompared to other countries, it seemed very desolate.

nLooking at the desolate city, the people in the livestream couldn’t help but start discussing again.

n“What a nice place. But why is there only one person?!”

n“Damn, can I join? I want to go!”

n“Exactly, this is too unfair!”

n“Are you talking about fairness with an existence that opened up another dimension?”

n“T_T”

n“Pierce is a real man.”

nPierce shook his head helplessly when he saw the comments flying around.

nThis was truly a scam.

nHow could it be so easy for him to guard the city alone?

nHaven’t you thought of installing the stone on the arrow tower?

nInstall it on the arrow tower??

nJust this stone?!

nPierce glanced at the arrow towers mounted high above the walls, his expression thoughtful.

nIf he followed the instructions, he would not be wrong.

nAlthough he had never seen a stone being pressed in Tower Defense games before.

nWith that thought in mind, Pierce placed the stone on an arrow tower under the numb expressions of the people in the live stream.

nThe stone had barely touched the arrow tower when a voice spoke in Pierce’s mind.

nEnergy Stone discovered, arrow tower discovered. Do you want to unlock the new formula?

nNew formula?

nPierce was taken aback. Then he said quickly:

n“Unlock the new formula!”

nEnergy Stone Defensive Arrow Tower = Energy Arrow Tower

nEnergy Arrow Tower?

nHe had never heard of such a thing in the Tower Defense games before.

nPierce’s face lit up.

nAs expected, only he could see the golden hints.

nHowever, in the broadcast room.

n“What is he doing?”

n“He’s giving up on himself. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to take it either!”

n“Tsk, even so, we can’t use rocks to block the next monster!”

n“Blossoms Country has already begun building a wooden fence. The arrow towers are also loaded.”

n“It’s the same for White Elephant Country. F*ck, aren’t you bullying us?”

n“The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Forget it, watching the livestream makes my chest feel stuffy.”

n“I won’t watch anymore. I’ll just wait for the monsters to invade. I’ll live and die with the country.”

nWhile the live-stream discussion went on, in the conference room.

nThe live stream about Pierce was projected on the screen.

nHis every move was noticed by the higher-ups of Country M.

nWhen they saw Pierce preparing to place the stone on the arrow tower, everyone’s mood became even heavier.

nPierce was under too much pressure.

nWhether Country M could survive on the Planet Blue in the future depended entirely on Pierce.

n“The pressure is too great…”

nIt wasn’t just Pierce who was stressed. Even their hearts were heavy.

nIn the Tower Defense Survival game, a hundred people might not be able to defend the city well under the attack of a group of unknown creatures.

nNot to mention Country M which only had one participant.

nThey might really not be able to take it this time!

nEvery time in the Tower Defense Survival, unknown creatures would appear at random.

nTake the previous Tower Defense Survival for example.

nThe unlucky Country M met an ultimate creature in the first round.

nThere were countless casualties in the early stages, not to mention the later stages of development.

nThey could not develop at all.

nEveryone stared at the screen.

nThey saw Pierce pick up the stone and look thoughtfully at the arrow tower.

nHe seemed to be thinking about something.

nIn Pierce’s vision.

nA combination of golden characters floated in the air.

nIt was the hints that had been helping him ever since he came to the Tower Defense world.

nThe energy stone contains the fire element. It can be fused with the Tower Defense arrow tower and assembled into a fire elemental arrow tower.

nIn Pierce’s memory.

nEver since the Tower Defense Survival came into this world, people had always relied on the resources in the city to resist the invasion of creatures.

nIn this world full of monsters, how could they dare to explore this unknown territory?

nThis led to the fact that no special arrow towers had ever appeared in Pierce’s memory.

nAnd now, no one would have thought that an ordinary stone in the forest could cause a change in the arrow tower.

nJust as Pierce was about to merge the stone into the arrow tower.

nThe Tower Defense notification came!

nCountdown to Dimensional Creatures Invasion: 10… 9… 8…

nThe audience watching the live broadcast was filled with despair.

nAs comments flashed by the screens rapidly, black mist spread in the forest.

n

n

nHoarse and deafening growls sounded from the black mist.

nDimensional Creatures Invasion! Begin!

nFollowing that,

nOne by one, rotten humanoid creatures wrapped in black vines emerged from the black mist.

nThey were mutated zombies!

nDuring the last Tower Defense Survival, Country M was eventually conquered by such creatures.

nEveryone remembered it clearly.

nJust as the citizens of Country M were about to break down.

nA golden text appeared before Pierce’s eyes.

nZombies surrounded by vines? Haven’t you realized that they are afraid of sunlight and flames…

n
