In the darkness, a wild off-road vehicle sped along. It was obvious whose car it was. Although Jiang Yuan wasn't exactly a poor loser, he was penniless and, moreover, he wouldn't accept charity (and more importantly, he couldn't steal it). So, he didn't own a car.

"Wow, it's amazing to have gotten such a great car!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed, praising the car's design and performance.

"This is a military off-road vehicle, with top-of-the-line power and armor! It's just that there's a camouflage film on the outside!" Leng Yue rarely spoke at length.

"Were you a soldier before?" Jiang Yuan asked. Ning Yanlan had told him about Leng Yue's background before, and he was the kind of person who was really cool.

"Yes, this vehicle was left behind by our team during our last mission, but before I could get back, the catastrophe happened!" Leng Yue began to recount her story. "Later, we lost contact with our superiors, and the command of Nancheng was transferred to Sima Sheng. Our team then became his subordinates, taking orders from him."

"Why do you hate him so much?" Jiang Yuan had never known the answer to this question, and even when Ning Yanlan told him, he only had a vague understanding.

Leng Yue remained silent. Jiang Yuan suddenly realized what Leng Yue had just mentioned about a team. "Wait, you said you own a team?"

Leng Yue had been adjusting her breathing for a while before saying, "Yes, but they were all sacrificed!"

“This…” Jiang Yuan fell silent.

“There is a Holy Spirit Pavilion in the southern city. Once the Holy Spirit has a place to hide, he will become very powerful. In time, this will be a crisis that can destroy a city. As soldiers, we have an unshirkable responsibility to eliminate the crisis, but Sima Sheng should not use our lives to save it!”

Leng Yue's eyes were filled with ferocity. "Besides, we have no need to make any sacrifices!"

"There was a seventh-tier holy spirit beast in the Holy Spirit Pavilion at that time that had not yet been unsealed. Because of the Holy Spirit Pavilion, the seventh-tier holy spirit beast was much stronger than the eighth-tier one, so a large amount of heavy firepower was used at that time."

"But that didn't kill the Holy Spirit Beast, and even the Holy Spirit Pavilion couldn't be destroyed. As long as the Holy Spirit Pavilion exists, it means that the South City could fall!"

"At that time, Nancheng decided to use missiles, but due to the change in the Earth's magnetic field, the communication equipment had completely failed, and the previous guidance system was also useless. In addition, the Holy Spirit Beast was fast, so if the missiles were to come down, there was a high chance that they would be dodged. So at that time, we prepared to use the most dangerous laser guidance!"

"Our small team was the one who completed this mission. The original plan was to fight the Holy Spirit Beast and take the opportunity to install the laser emitter on the Holy Spirit Beast, and then wait for us to withdraw before launching missiles to take down the Holy Spirit Pavilion and the Holy Spirit Beast!"

"But that bastard Sima Sheng lied to us, saying that the missile had malfunctioned and needed some time to repair, and that we should hold off the Holy Spirit Beast, preferably trapping it in the Holy Spirit Pavilion, and wait for the missile to be repaired before we could leave!"

"And in order to gain our trust, he sent five hundred soldiers to assist us!"

"result!"

The anger in Leng Yue's eyes seemed about to burst forth, "In the end, that bastard launched the missile directly in order to accurately destroy the Holy Spirit Pavilion and kill the Holy Spirit Beast. By the time we wanted to evacuate, it was too late!"

"A total of 511 people perished in that destruction, and I was the only survivor. Only afterwards did I learn that those 500 people were not from Sima Sheng's faction, but from the conservatives. Sima Sheng deliberately gave the order to eliminate dissidents, sacrificing more than 500 lives to increase that negligible chance of success. He deserves to die!"

"Do you know what? If we're willing to fight to the death, we can grind the Holy Spirit Beast to death with our own blood and sweat. We don't need any missiles!"

Jiang Yuan felt extremely heavy-hearted after hearing this. In the past, these were the guardians of the people, but after the disaster, they became victims of power struggles. How could this not make people angry?

"I survived by the skin of my teeth, and I have only one goal: to kill Sima Sheng and avenge my teammates and those five hundred soldiers." Leng Yue slammed her fist on the steering wheel; if the car hadn't been so sturdy, it would have been totaled.

"I will definitely kill him!" That was the only way Jiang Yuan could console himself.

Such a deep-seated hatred cannot be soothed by words; blood debts must be repaid in blood.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, with one driving and the other dozing off.

"The beast tide has come early!"

Leng Yue's exclamation startled Jiang Yuan, who was resting there, and he sat up with a start. He shook his head and tried to stay awake. The sky was already beginning to lighten, but dust filled the air along the distant border.

"Is this a beast tide?" Jiang Yuan was deeply shocked. He had never imagined that ordinary wild beasts could create such a terrifying aura.

“These monsters are just the ones that slipped through the net at the front! But after a week of spiritual awakening, even the ones that slipped through the net can stir up trouble across the world!” Leng Yue sighed as she stopped the car.

"It's another 100 kilometers before we enter Zone C!" Jiang Yuan said after opening the map and estimating the distance.

"There's a cave over there. Let's hide there for a while and continue after the beast tide passes!" Leng Yue stepped on the gas and drove off in the opposite direction.

“Okay!” Jiang Yuan nodded. The beast tide was not something that a few people could withstand. If the two of them tried to charge in head-on, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

The Golden Gate brought countless disasters to the world. The mutated monsters were just the beginning of this disaster; the Holy Spirits and savage beasts were the true protagonists.

According to the USB drive, the beast tide is a cleansing plan targeting humanity. The weak have no right to survive in this world, and each beast tide will only leave behind the strongest.

The law of the jungle will gradually correct the world order. The first to ninth levels are just the beginning. The native monsters that have awakened their spirits are the weakest, just like the magical creatures brought by the Golden Gate—the savage beasts. These are mysterious beings above monsters, possessing power equivalent to that of a holy spirit.

All these unknown creatures will be awakened after the first beast tide, and together they will fight for control of this world.

Beneath the overwhelming dust lay an endless array of monsters. The beasts that were once below humans in the food chain had now transformed into powerful monsters, baring their ferocious maws at humans.

"Hurry up, if the monsters find us, we won't be able to leave!" Despite the life-or-death crisis, Leng Yue remained calm, opened the car door, and ran towards the cave.

"Put the car away!" Jiang Yuan was helpless when he saw Leng Yue abandon the car and run away. He picked out a storage ring to put the car away and then followed her into the cave.

"Look! There are several Holy Spirit Beasts leading monsters!" Leng Yue turned around and glanced at the front of the beast tide. She was surprised to find several exceptionally magnificent 'monsters'. She had seen Holy Spirit Beasts before, and their unique patterns were very easy to identify.

"Is there a Holy Spirit Beast hidden in Zone D?" Jiang Yuan thought of Nancheng at this moment. If the beast tide came, could Nancheng withstand it?

"On the night of the cataclysm, countless meteors shot out from the Golden Gate, and countless Holy Spirit structures fell across the land of Kyushu. No matter how strong China is, it cannot clear away all the Holy Spirit structures. It is already remarkable that it can build a defensive line!" Leng Yue's faith in the country still exists, but she does not trust the warlords of Nancheng!

"How did Sima Sheng and his group get through the beast tide? And how were they able to get to the Holy Spirit Pavilion?!"
