"I, Chen Feng, have seen many awakened refugees, and countless others have died at my hands!"

"Ants are ants, no matter how many there are."

Chen Feng chuckled. He didn't even bother to expend energy. He reached behind him and took the weapon from the soldier's hand, pointing the cold muzzle at the group of helpless sitting ducks!

Seeing the refugee leaders about to be routed and slaughtered under the gravity field, a ruthless glint flashed in Wang Gui's eyes. With his last strength, he raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Boss—!! Do it!"

The moment he finished speaking.

A strange black shadow, seemingly weightless, lightly touched the crest of the surging floodwaters and surged upwards at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly scaling the city wall!

"Such speed!" Chen Feng thought to himself that something was wrong, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

Because he clearly sensed that the dark figure's target was him!

Chen Feng hurriedly tried to turn around to defend himself, while simultaneously activating his abilities. A stronger gravitational field immediately surrounded him, attempting to slow down his opponent's movements.

Before they could even turn around, the dark figure had already rapidly approached, braving a gravity field ten times stronger than normal.

Even as it approached the terrifying gravity zone surrounding Chen Feng, which was powerful enough to flatten ordinary steel, the figure only paused slightly before continuing its attack, aiming straight for Chen Feng's back.

The chilling energy and icy killing intent emanating from so close behind Chen Feng made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end instantly!

"not good!"

Chen Feng was shocked, and his heart sank.

Despite such gravity, the other party was able to move freely!

He instantly used his ability to reduce his own gravity and tried to dash forward to dodge, but the opponent was faster!

It seems it's too late...

At the critical moment!

"Whoosh—!"

A streak of crimson light, faster than lightning, tore through the rain curtain and flashed across the city wall.

All that remained before everyone's eyes was a straight, scorching mark that seemed to cleave the air on the city wall in two!

Almost simultaneously, the movement of the dark figure piercing Chen Feng's back suddenly froze, and its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

Chen Feng seized the opportunity to dodge, and at the same time hurriedly turned around to try to block, but found that the attack he expected did not come.

"Sizzle—sizzle!"

A faint burning sound came from the air.

Chen Feng took a closer look and immediately gasped!

The awakened one who had tried to ambush him from behind had now lost his entire head!

The neck was completely empty, and the cut surface had a texture that looked as if it had been instantly vaporized by extreme heat.

The headless body remained in its charging attack posture, but it stood frozen in place, looking incredibly eerie.

Sold out instantly!

Absolutely crushing, a swift and devastating victory!

"No—! Impossible!" Wang Gui roared in despair upon seeing this. The Buddha had lost all his energy and spirit, and he collapsed to the ground.

Their most hidden trump card, the one they held so dear and on whom they placed their highest hopes, was killed on the spot, shattering all their hopes.

The "boss" that Wang Gui mentioned was a fifth-tier awakened individual whom the Wang family army had painstakingly cultivated before they became refugees.

He was publicly addressed as the eldest son by the Wang family, but his existence had only one purpose—

The purpose is to take advantage of the general public's contempt for "vagrants and the lowly" at a critical moment in the fight against the enemy, and then launch a sudden attack when the enemy relaxes its guard and reveals a weakness!

Take advantage of their unpreparedness and strike with deadly precision!

This insidious and deadly tactic has proven effective time and again. Combined with his unpredictable movements, it has enabled Wang Gui to turn the tide of battle countless times during their migrations, allowing him to defeat and kill powerful enemies far stronger than themselves.

Because no one could have imagined that such a powerful awakened individual, skilled in sneak attacks and assassinations, would be hidden among a motley crew of refugees.

But today, just as the "boss" was about to succeed and turn the tide, he was instantly killed by a terrifying attack that came from nowhere!

Wang Gui didn't even see clearly what kind of attack killed the "boss"!

The speed and devastating power, which were beyond his comprehension, filled him with deep despair and bewilderment.

Is this the essence of Zhongzhou?

The trump card failed, and the final counterattack was thwarted.

Seeing this, the other leaders, who had been holding on but were now at their last gasp, completely lost their last shred of hope and fighting spirit.

Their faces were ashen, their hearts were withered, and they had lost even the strength to resist.

Then, due to the backlash from overdrawing their lives, the leaders had no room to struggle anymore and were directly pressed to the ground by Chen Feng's gravity field, unable to move.

"That was close!" Chen Feng wasn't surprised by the appearance of that streak of light; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced furtively in the direction of Li Yu's lounge in the distance, suppressing the lingering fear in his heart.

Just a moment ago, his heart was pounding in his throat.

Although he was certain that with Li Yu on the front line, he would not die, personally experiencing such a close-range threat of death still made him break out in a cold sweat, and his back felt icy cold.

Chen Feng was horrified when he recalled the events.

He never imagined that among these refugees who starved to death every day, there were awakened individuals who posed a threat to him!

Not only was it extremely fast, but its ability to conceal its presence was also unparalleled. Even a seasoned border officer like him did not detect it in advance during his daily patrols!

Are there hidden talents among the refugees? It's unbelievable.

However, Chen Feng immediately gave a cold smile, thinking to himself:

However, even if the most powerful awakened refugee appeared at this moment, it would be a futile death, utterly meaningless.

Because everything that just happened was part of his calculations and orchestration!

He deliberately took matters into his own hands, using himself as bait, in order to force out the hidden trump card among the refugees. Even without the appearance of this 'boss,' there might be other hidden trump cards.

Chen Feng had already guessed that after the flood hit, the refugee groups, with no way out and trapped in a desperate situation, would definitely unite and make a final stand at all costs.

He originally intended to notify the commander to come and guard the city for the night, but he did not expect Li Yu to stay, so he changed his plans and did not report for help.

As expected, Li Yu, who was temporarily staying at the defense line, did not stand idly by and immediately stepped in to help.

Everything unfolded as he had predicted.

He successfully drew out the most powerful trump card among the refugees, only to have it effortlessly defeated by Li Yu.

The plan is perfect!

Chen Feng was also gambling. If Li Yu really did sit idly by, he could certainly take down this group of refugee awakeners with the soldiers of Zhongzhou, but he would probably have to pay a price.

Now that the mission is complete, Chen Feng is well aware of the consequences.

Given his lowly status as a border guard officer, even if he successfully resolved the crisis, he would at most receive some insignificant commendation, and there would be no chance of him being promoted.

More likely, the soldiers' credit will be easily taken by the commander.

Thinking of this, a glint suddenly flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.
