The survivors inside the high-rise building thought they were safe and sound, but little did they know that countless poisonous insects and flying monsters were launching suicidal attacks on them one after another.

In an instant, all sorts of dazzling energy attacks exploded in the sky above Baoshan City, and countless billboards, window glass, and concrete blocks shattered and fell like raindrops from buildings hundreds of meters high.

Even as countless strange beasts on the ground were crushed to death, these frenzied birds did not stop their attack.

Several sixth-rank Crimson Flame Eagles hovered in the air, circling and spewing pillars of fire into the building.

Even the steel pillars inside the wall turned into molten iron under the raging flames, and the survivors inside the building screamed as they turned to ashes.

Not only in aerial battles, but also in underground battles, many strange beasts are frantically destroying the underground structures of various buildings.

Through their frenzied attacks, countless high-rise buildings collapsed after their foundations were breached.

The survivors who had been hiding in the city center suffered countless deaths and injuries in a short period of time.

The strange beasts within the city were wreaking havoc, and although the beast tide in the suburbs was smaller in number, the situation was still not optimistic.

Even Bart and his group, who were in an air-raid shelter deep underground on the outskirts of the city, far from the city center, could not escape this calamity.

Large numbers of small, strange beasts, snakes, insects, ants, rats, and other creatures began frantically digging into the soil, attempting to launch an attack directly from underground.

Keep in mind that this is a building from the last century. Even the original iron gate might not have been able to withstand the impact of the monster, let alone the ordinary cement slabs underneath.

Furthermore, a small number of mosquitoes entered the shelter directly through the ventilation ducts. Although the soldiers inside the shelter eliminated them in time, it still caused great panic among the refugees.

In an instant, the air-raid shelter, which had been relatively stable, descended into complete chaos...

At the same time, countless strange beasts on the ground began to attack the air-raid shelter.

Left with no other choice, all the warriors and survivors who had been hiding underground had to open the iron gate on the surface and begin to guide the monsters to attack from the main entrance, using the long underground passage to clear them out.

The reason for this choice was that even if the main gate was breached, it would be better than having the air-raid shelter dug up by alien beasts and being buried alive.

However, the consequence of their actions was that if they could not withstand the attack of the alien beasts, then once the underground corridor fell, there would be no chance of survival for anyone underground.

At this moment, Wang Zheng did not want to cause any more trouble, after all, there was a demon king and a superhuman fighting a hundred kilometers away. He just wanted to take Old Man Chu back to Jingnan as soon as possible.

But when he saw Bart and Xu Yifeng on the ground, leading several A-level Awakened Ones to break through to the ground and clear out the high-level alien beasts in the beast tide.

Moreover, he was surrounded by various strange beasts, and his body was torn open with wounds of varying depths, covered in blood. Even so, he couldn't help but frown.

I felt a pang of reluctance for no reason.

However, this is not Tengchong, and there is no advantageous terrain to rely on.

How could he possibly protect all of them on his own?

He's not a true elemental master who can control fire elements at will; he still can't even figure out how to use the Candle Flame.

If Wang Zheng dared to use his Candle Flame in the crowd, these survivors wouldn't need to be besieged by the alien beasts; as long as they touched his flame, none of them would survive.

Moreover, he is currently carrying Chu Tianxing, who is seriously injured and unconscious.

...

"Damn it, this is infuriating! I'm such an idiot! Couldn't I have run in a different direction? What was I doing here?! I wish I hadn't seen it!!!"

After much deliberation, Wang Zheng finally decided to go and help, deciding to do his best and leave the rest to fate, doing as much as he could.

Firstly, it was felt that since Bart and Xu Taibao were acquaintances, it would be too heartless to just watch them die.

Secondly, he feared that when Chu Tianxing woke up, he would see that the city and people he had risked his life to protect had been abandoned by him because he prioritized Chu Tianxing's safety.

Ultimately, Wang Zheng just felt that he couldn't live with himself watching the people below die.

Then, Wang Zheng thought that when things really couldn't hold out any longer, when the shelter was breached, and when everyone was dead, he could just take Bart and Xu Yifeng with him then.

After all, he had a pretty good impression of the two of them.

With this thought in mind, Wang Zheng tied Chu Tianxing to his back with a rope, then his twin swords appeared in his hands and he descended into the clouds.

It wasn't that Wang Zheng wanted to create the same look as Ling Youjie; there was nothing he could do about it.

He also wanted Chu Tianxing to lie on the crimson cloud, with the crimson cloud floating around him.

But he couldn't do it. The crimson cloud could only condense under his feet. As soon as he stepped down, it would immediately dissipate without the slightest hesitation.

Carrying someone on his back further hinders Wang Zheng's gameplay, so this is a last resort for him.

As for leaving Chu Tianxing aside and coming back to him later...

If things were really that serious, Wang Zheng might as well just take Old Man Chu and leave.
