And now there's even worse news: Tyre, on the Volga border, is also out of contact. Several attempts to call it failed due to poor signal and no service area.

Soon, the important figures in the W security zone gathered in a nearby conference room.

"First, stabilize the residents. The security situation in Zone W has just been resolved; we mustn't allow anyone to take advantage of the chaos." The commander-in-chief's expression was serious: "Still can't contact Tyre?"

Nan Zhu shook his head. He had tried various ways to contact them, but all of them, especially those involving signal, had lost connection.

However, even when superhumans who can amplify or connect signals were brought in, the examination revealed no trace of signal obstruction, leaving them with no way to investigate.

"Settle the people first!" The H safe zone where Leviathan has landed is not far from the W safe zone; from here, you can already see Leviathan's enormous body.

The crowd was clearly in disarray, with some struggling to escape the safe zone. It took Kita Kiyokawa considerable effort to calm them down.

"Settle the people first, prepare the vehicles, and we'll go back," the commander-in-chief decided immediately.

"Commander-in-Chief? That's unnecessary..." someone worried, "The W safe zone is relatively safe now. Going back would actually be very dangerous..."

"It's precisely because of the danger that we have to go back. Anyone can run away, but I can't be a deserter." The commander's face was grim. How could he not see that Shi Yin had brought him here on purpose?

They left only two main players behind, taking everyone else, including important figures, with them. They essentially created a weakness as bait to lure this big whale.

Shi Yin took him away to ensure his safety.

The other commanders were willing to listen to Shi Yin, but he absolutely could not this time. If the capital and the Doomsday Beacon collapsed, and he ran to the edge of Yanlong Kingdom in advance, what difference would that make from a deserter?

That's so embarrassing. Even if I die and go to the underworld, I won't have to say that I was the leader of the Yanlong Kingdom anymore.

We must at least go back and fight the unsuspecting soldiers to the last moment!

"You're really a bit crazy! You're trying to block it with your body?"

Far away in Lulan, Ishtar managed to drag Shiyin to a suburban air-raid shelter.

This air-raid shelter was used in the past and is very well hidden. It is said that there was a misunderstanding in history that made people think that a war of nuclear weapons level was about to be fought, so they did their best to build a good one.

While it's uncertain whether nuclear weapons would actually be effective in the event of a nuclear attack, at least for now, we are safe.

Ishtar was terrified. Samael had suddenly appeared, but his target wasn't them or the city. He went straight for Ishtar's little garden, as if he knew exactly what Ishtar wished for.

Shi Yin agreed to grant their wish, thus forming an alliance. If their wish were shattered prematurely, their morale would drop by at least half.

The situation was urgent. Samael had clearly used the power of arrogance. The beam pierced through four or five dragons. Even when Shi Yin transformed herself into a shield, she couldn't completely block it and instead reflected the power away.

"If it doesn't work this time, we'll try next time. If you die, everything after this timeline will be over." A small, glowing dragon and a small green dragon were hovering around Shi Yin on Ishtar's arm.

However, no matter how many light particles and plant particles touched her fingertips, Shi Yin's wound showed no signs of healing.

"Put these two away and release the demonic dragon." Shi Yin waved the two dragons away, her face growing increasingly grim: "It hurts!"

"What's going on?" Ishtar was startled.

Of course she knew that Shi Yin was greedy. The powers of zombies and superhumans are mutually exclusive, one being evil and the other light. But Shi Yin was half and half, at least she used normal methods to heal her injuries.

But now, Shi Yin's body is covered in bulging veins, turning a bluish-red color. The healing from the Light Dragon and the Life Dragon is actually corroding her body like sulfuric acid, making it even more severe.

"What about your positive attributes?" Ishtar quickly summoned the dragon.

As soon as the pitch-black little dragon appeared, the Light Dragon and the Life Dragon flew far away, watching it warily and letting out low growls, extremely alert.

This dragon was clearly not obedient; its eyes gleamed with a rebellious light.

When Ishtar summoned it, its eyes did not show the obedience and docility of other dragons. Instead, it bared its teeth, showed its claws, and roared, threatening Ishtar. But the next moment, it could no longer roar, because a hand picked it up.

[So noisy!]

When the little dragon met Shi Yin's scarlet eyes, it was so frightened that its quiver stood on end. Despite being covered in scales, the dragon's fur stood on end, and its scales and muscles visibly trembled.

[Go back home if you don't listen!]

The little dragon lowered its head, shrank its neck, and tucked its wings tightly together, looking just like a plucked chicken, not daring to utter a sound.

It's fierce, not stupid; when faced with a stronger opponent, of course it's timid...

After a while, with the help of the little dragon's dark aura, Shi Yin barely recovered.

The large chunk of flesh that had been corroded from the wound was unable to bleed or heal. It was too close to the heart, so Ishtar and Shion didn't dare to dig the flesh out directly.

"What happened? What happened to your positive attributes?" Ishtar was quite frightened: "How come you almost turned into a zombie just now? You weren't even using your full strength!"

"No, I have to go back." Shi Yin stood up, leaning against the wall, her face showing an unusual look of terror: "Ishtar, I have to go back now!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ishtar asked in surprise.

"I just took the blame for my sister's zombification. She almost became a zombie! This is impossible! Why?!" Shi Yin smashed the wall with her fist. "I haven't seen them. I haven't seen them even once in this life! I've distanced myself from them!"

"Shiyin, calm down!" Ishtar pressed Shiyin's shoulder and shouted, "You took a disaster for them, there's still time to think of a solution."

“This isn’t a question of whether it’s too late.” Shi Yin suddenly collapsed to the ground, covering her face, looking unusually helpless: “If I intervene, their chances of survival will be no more than 10%.”

"Shiyin." Ishtar pressed down on Shiyin's shoulder and looked directly into her eyes: "Close your eyes and count to one minute silently."

Shi Yin: "..."

Shi Yin didn't say anything and obediently did as she was told.

In fact, it didn't even take a minute; by the time she counted to 10, Toki had already calmed down.

“Shiyin, you seem very panicked, which means that if you hadn’t met with your family, they probably wouldn’t have had this problem so soon, right?” Ishtar said calmly. “So something must have happened, like someone tipped you off and leaked your information, or… your counterparts haven’t been completely eliminated yet.”

“No, that’s not it.” Shi Yin covered her face, feeling a little helpless: “There’s another possibility, some of them have become superhumans.”

"Impossible!" Ishtar exclaimed in astonishment. "They don't have superpowers!"

Ishtar had certainly met Toki's family and had even helped Toki observe and protect them. Ishtar observed more than a dozen lifetimes, including the time when Toki was initially struggling with her family, and none of them had any special abilities.

How could he suddenly have superpowers?

Moreover, if there really were supernatural abilities, then the Yanlong Kingdom should have reported it directly to Shiyin and the Commander-in-Chief long ago.

"I can't be wrong. That's not a zombie reaction after being injured by a zombie. It's a dangerous period of berserk behavior due to overuse of superpowers."

If that's the case, it's bad. Leviathan is near the Doomsday Beacon, and the sudden overuse of her powers means her sister is near Leviathan.

Going back now would mean the end of everything, but not going back would also be the end of everything!
