The dark apocalypse has ended, and the wasteland era has begun. Countless mutated creatures and strange polluted zones are devouring human settlements.
Yun Zhao, who recently awakened her abi...
Chapter 477 Invite You to See the Sun
The area below the mountain and inside the walls was in complete chaos.
Sentinels, soldiers, and natives were mixed with a large number of monsters that had broken through the defense line.
Gunshots and screams mingled together.
A squad of sentries from Qinhuai Camp, protecting two guides, were locked in a fierce battle with the mutated creatures that were charging up.
The firelight flickered in the darkness, illuminating faces filled with weariness and determination.
"Never worry about what's behind us, let's get up the mountain first!"
The sentries knew better than anyone that the guide absolutely could not be harmed.
Zhuang Wan had already exhausted too much mental energy, and with a pale face, she was protected by the sentries as they retreated up the mountain.
Suddenly, a huge mutant pounced from the side, its sharp claws slashing at a sentry's shoulder.
"Watch out!" a sentry shouted, raising his gun and firing fiercely at the mutant.
"Concentrate your firepower! Don't let it get close!"
The sentries immediately turned their guns and fired.
The spirits lunged at the monster, only to find they had missed. They were bewildered, but quickly sensed the consciousness of the original body and found a new target to attack.
Their retreat was hampered by the mutants, and they could see that there were more and more monsters around them, including some high-level mutants.
At the critical moment, a dark figure sped down the hillside.
Like a black lightning bolt, it instantly cut into the battlefield, the Tang sword whistling through the air as it was wielded.
The enormous mutant, about to attack, only saw a black shadow flash before its eyes. Before it could react, Xie Tu's Tang sword had already sliced across its neck as easily as cutting tofu.
Thick, black viscous liquid gushed out like a fountain.
The advanced mutant didn't even have time to roar before it collapsed to the ground.
"Captain Xie!" A sentry recognized him and shouted with surprise, his tense and desperate expression instantly igniting with hope.
Xie Tu's figure emerged from the darkness, holding a long Tang sword in his hand, the blade gleaming coldly in the firelight.
Without pausing, he turned and kicked the monster in the chest as it lunged at him.
The immense force sent the image-distorted mutant flying more than ten meters away.
"I'll cover you, you guys take the guide up the mountain first."
The sentries knew this was not the time for idle chatter. With his help, they wiped out the mutants that were blocking their way and escorted the two guides up the mountain as quickly as possible.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Xie Tu drew his gun in one swift and clean motion, without the slightest hesitation.
He surveyed the battlefield, then charged toward the direction where the mutants were most concentrated.
Yun Zhao stood on the south side of the mountainside, but the man had long since disappeared from sight.
The pollution concentration has risen to 98%.
6:35.
The little bluebird stood on her head, directly in front of her, its massive, fiery red body very conspicuous.
A powerful S-class spiritual entity remained in front of the southern defense line.
The fire phoenix was being eroded very quickly. Under such a high concentration of pollution, the dark matter was everywhere, burrowing into its body.
The little bluebird had never been eroded, but it knew it was very painful.
Its gaze was fixed on the fire phoenix.
Aren't you worried about him?
Yun Zhao looked down at the foot of the mountain, trying to find Xie Tu's figure, and said truthfully, "I'm worried."
When should we make our move?
Yun Zhao held the walkie-talkie in his hand: "Soon."
She didn't know the sunrise time in the old days, but the sky was still gray at six o'clock. What she wanted was for the sun to shine on the earth.
It must be a single, decisive strike.
They didn't get a second chance.
Yun Zhao murmured, "Just a little longer, just a little longer..."
at the same time.
Xie Tu has reached the weakest point in the west.
Zheng Shao and others, along with Lai Yannian's Eighth Group, are leading their soldiers in a fierce resistance.
The spirits held their ground atop the high walls, attempting to prevent more mutants from flooding in.
But the effect was minimal.
Countless winged monsters kept trying to break through the defenses, hovering and diving in the air, their sharp claws and fangs gleaming coldly.
"Damn! It's a Sentinel mutant!"
Above the wall, several dark figures broke through the spiritual defenses and rushed towards the crowd below.
Zheng Shao and his men were caught in a fierce battle.
The sentries beside him were all B-level sentries, and they couldn't stop him at all.
Zheng Shao gritted his teeth, "Let's retreat first! We can't afford to die here!"
Upon hearing this, the sentries had no choice but to retreat while fighting, their faces deathly pale, with large beads of sweat constantly sliding down their cheeks.
One of the sentries couldn't take it anymore and, in a moment, injected himself with an inhibitor.
If it weren't for the cloud guide's intervention to soothe their mental state, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Xie Tu joined the battle at this time.
The gunshot rang out, swift and accurate.
"Retreat to the south!"
Xie Tu emptied his ammunition and, with all his might, swung his Tang sword down at the mutant's head.
The sentries were able to catch their breath and quickly retreated five meters to increase the distance between themselves and the mutants, firing at them as they retreated.
At this moment, Xie Tu sensed danger. He heard the sound of wind breaking behind him, and the image on his right was already attacking.
He didn't have time to turn around, so he used his left hand to hold the long sword behind him to block.
The immense impact propelled him forward several meters, leaving a deep gash in the ground.
The dark figure was exceptionally tall, its body covered in black slime, and it exuded a chilling aura...

6:49.
A breach was then created in the eastern defense line.
Those halfway up the mountain heard the commotion, and Lao Gao, with a serious expression, called to his teammates, "Let's go over there."
Sun Chao followed, then turned back with concern and said, "Guide Yun and Battalion Commander Zhuang, stay here and don't leave our sight."
Yun Zhao glanced down the mountain every now and then, and then looked down at the time. Hearing this, he nodded obediently.
Zhuang Wan leaned against the side to rest and responded in response.
The tenth group left with peace of mind, leaving Guo Yifei and the others to guard the place.
Zhuang Wan had recovered and turned to look at Yun Zhao, who had been watching down the mountain. "Is Guide Yun worried about Team Leader Xie?"
The human and the spirit entity kept glancing at the fire phoenix, worried that the big guy wouldn't be able to hold on.
As much pain it is in now, Xie Tu is just as much pain.
Yun Zhao replied, "I can't see where he is."
"Don't worry, Captain Xie will definitely be alright." Zhuang Wan forced a smile. "If you can get out of here alive, you will be great benefactors to the Qin Huai Camp."
Yun Zhao suddenly felt a pang of heartache and inexplicably panicked. He replied absentmindedly, "It will definitely happen."
Time is passing so slowly, finally there are only five minutes left.
Xie Tu, however, had not yet come up.
Yun Zhao couldn't worry about that now; purification couldn't be completed in a short time, so five more minutes wouldn't make a difference.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and pressed the intercom, "Commander, are you still there?"
Commander Zhong's aged voice came quickly from the other end, "Yes, I'm here."
"I said I would invite you to see the sun." Yun Zhao raised his hand slightly and pointed to the sky.
The next moment.
A powerful mental force surged forth from her body!
The little bluebird glanced worriedly at the fire phoenix, flapped its wings, and flew towards the sky...
