Chapter 35 Breaking Through the Barrier, Encounter

The two stood face to face, with a transparent barrier separating them from each other.

Yun Zhao closed his eyes slightly and tried to use his mental energy to eliminate it.

I remember when we were doing the tests, Minister Bai said that no one was better at building and breaking through barriers than the Guide.

Her spirit was like a nimble snake, and wisps of fluorescent light clung to the transparent wall, constantly impacting the barrier.

The barrier began to sway slightly.

The little bluebird suddenly raised its eyes, its icy blue beastly eyes fixed on the barrier, as if trying to see the scene on the other side through the obstructed view.

Ah, I've detected that unpleasant smell.

An unpleasant smell?

On the other side of the barrier...?

The park remained eerily silent.

Behind Xie Tu, the bustling street seemed to be paused, the noise disappeared, and the crowd turned around and stared at him expressionlessly.

Gradually, they all turned into familiar figures, slowly walking towards him and gradually surrounding him.

Father, mother, teammates who sacrificed their lives...

"Stay, don't go..."

"Captain Xie, I'm here! Turn around and look at me!" A man who looked seven or eight parts like a rabbit, with a gentle face, stood behind him and kept calling out to him.

The communicator on my wrist showed that the pollution level was rising.

61%...65%, 66%, 70%, 74%...

The ascent speed is very fast.

Fire Phoenix felt extremely uncomfortable, its scarlet eyes filled with violence, and it kept writhing in the mental realm.

"Hurry up, I want to kill them."

Xie Tu's deep eyes flashed with a hint of blood red. He raised his hand and touched the transparent barrier, attempting to break it.

Suddenly the barrier shook and a crack appeared.

The cracks gradually widened, spreading like a spider web in all directions to the entire barrier.

With a "bang," the barrier shattered, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated into the air.

The barrier between them suddenly disappeared.

Their palms met unexpectedly, their eyes locked, and the touch of their skin sent a shiver down their spines.

Yun Zhao felt a warmth coming from his palm.

That feeling was strange.

But there was no time for her to think.

Just a few steps apart, half in darkness, half in light.

The sky above Xie Tu's city was shrouded in dense, dark matter, with countless mutated creatures emitting black smoke standing behind him.

The monsters didn't attack him; they just stood there quietly, staring at him with eerie eyes.

"Walk!"

Xie Tu stepped into her city, grabbed her, and ran.

Suddenly, the mutants behind them all moved. Their expressions twisted, revealing a ferocious and terrifying look, as they howled and charged towards the two.

"return……"

"Come back quickly..."

Like a summons from the abyss, carrying endless allure and evil power, it attempts to drag people into an abyss of no return.

The sound was chilling.

Strangely, the area where Yun Zhao was located remained normal.

The pedestrians and vehicles on board were oblivious to the monster chasing after them.

Yun Zhao saw a woman walking on the street while looking at her phone, and countless mutated creatures emitting black smoke passed straight through her body.

Thick mucus dripped continuously from her body.

Wherever the slime touched, the ground hissed and emitted wisps of pungent white smoke, revealing its strong corrosiveness.

The woman didn't react at all, but after seeing some message, a shy, girlish expression appeared on her face.

An illusion?

Some people do not actually exist.

Or perhaps, many, many years ago, they actually existed.

Yun Zhao's stamina was poor. After running a few steps, Xie Tu seemed to sense something, grabbed her waist with one hand, lifted her up and ran with her.

Their escape speed increased significantly.

The mutants surged in from behind like a raging tide, their dense black mist quickly polluting half the sky within the barrier.

Yun Zhao released strands of spiritual energy, which were faint greenish-blue fluorescence, but they were like a drop in the ocean compared to the vast dark matter.

Unless the Great Bluebird is released.

But it's only the first day, and she doesn't want to reveal all her cards so soon.

The straps of my backpack are a bit uncomfortable.

Yun Zhao subconsciously tried to adjust his posture and throw the milk tea in his hand at the monster behind him.

Of course, it's impossible to harm the monster.

The little bluebird kept cursing in my ear.

Don't let him touch you, make him take his hand away!

"He let go of my hand and I fell."

Yun Zhao said to it in his heart, "I think the captain is a good person. Don't be prejudiced against him."

The little bluebird sneered, showing extreme disdain.

Aside from its own body, the little guy doesn't care about anyone else.

The wind whistled past my ears.

The bright light behind me suddenly turned black.

Darkness enveloped the sky, forming a black wall that rapidly approached the two. Pedestrians, vehicles, and houses on the road were swallowed up in the endless darkness in the blink of an eye.

Countless mutants roared and charged toward the two of them.

In an instant, the light of day was shattered, and darkness pressed down.

Xie Tu practically carried her in his arms as they ran at breakneck speed, their footsteps and panting mingling together.

Gasping for breath?

The sentinel has a super strong physique and perception ability. She is not heavy. Why is she panting so heavily after running for only a short while?

He's so agitated, I don't want to try to calm him down.

Yun Zhao was struggling to throw the uncomfortable military backpack in front of her and hug it, saying, "It's not up to you."

"What?" Xie Tu's voice came from above.

She accidentally blurted it out.

Yun Zhao pursed his lips. "It's nothing. We need to find a way to stop the Black Wall."

Xie Tu ran extremely fast, but always managed to avoid the oncoming 'crowd' in time. His voice became a little hoarse: "Don't worry, that's just a reaction caused by the collapse of space. It will stop soon."

The illusion that trapped him is crumbling, but this area is her 'territory'.

The goalkeeper sets the rules and follows them.

"Yeah?"

Yun Zhao rested his head against his broad shoulder, constantly glancing back to measure the distance.

The scene behind them was particularly terrifying.

Large groups of monsters, emanating black smoke and with twisted, deformed bodies, ignored pedestrians and vehicles on the street, howling and charging towards them with clear objectives.

They were fixated on the idea that Xie Tu should return to where he belonged.

Further away, the spread of the black wall behind them indeed began to slow down.

The space fluctuated and gradually undulated, seemingly repairing itself.

The roar was deafening.

Some of the advanced mutants were extremely fast, almost leaving afterimages. Two dark figures jumped onto the car and leaped into the air to pounce.

Xie Tu quickened his pace, the wind whistling in his ears, and fired behind him without turning his head.

The sentry's keen senses were on full display at this moment.

With two loud 'bangs', the bullets struck the heads of two fast-moving monsters squarely.

Two dark figures fell down with cries of agony.

Such speed, yet incredibly accurate.

Yun Zhao leaned on his shoulder, watching intently.

Is this the strength of an S-class Sentinel?

Xie Tu didn't have time to pay attention to her at the moment. Observing that the black wall had stopped, he immediately turned and led the people into the side alley.

He knocked over a trash can by the roadside, scattering trash everywhere.

He seemed extremely familiar with the terrain, carrying the person through twists and turns until he entered an old-style residential building, completely shaking off the group of mutants.

He only let go of the person once they entered the dimly lit stairwell and could no longer hear the screams outside.

Yun Zhao's feet finally touched the ground.

The stairwell was very dark, and you could only see the blurry outline of the person next to you.

The sound of heavy, rapid breathing echoed in my ears.

There were no external injuries.

Being in a state of high tension for a long time can only indicate a problem in the mental realm.

Despite being in such a terrible state, their fighting power remains astonishing.

Sentinels and guides are really very different.

Yun Zhao's mind stirred.

Suddenly, wisps of glowing light appeared, illuminating their faces.

The man was very tall.

Yun Zhao only reached his shoulder. Being so close, he had to look up to see his face. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot, turning a deep crimson.

Flying spiritual threads swirled around him, attempting to enter his body.

Xie Tu sensed her spiritual threads approaching, and his body stiffened instantly.

She is trying to establish a spiritual connection with herself.

The mental threads quickly detected the emotion of 'resistance'.

"Don't resist."

Ignoring the little bluebird's squawking, Yun Zhao raised his right hand to press against the little bluebird's forehead, mobilized his spiritual power, and said, "You need guidance now."
