Chapter 174 All are Growing

Chapter 174: All are growing.

Just as Loya was undergoing his extraordinary transformation, a faint fragrance of flowers appeared in a small village next to Dawn City.

In the corner of the sound waves.

A gray flower blooms silently.

This is none other than the Alice Flower.

That is, the incarnation of the Corpse Mother.

Not just here.

Within a radius of 500 li, many villages and towns nearby have also seen an increase in the number of Alice flowers.

However, there are not many of these flowers, and they are quite rare, growing in dark corners.

This did not raise alarm among many humans, and even fewer of the awakened humans discovered it.

After all, there are fewer awakened individuals than ordinary people.

And so, the Corpse Mother scattered her "claws" throughout this world, and then slowly released her own unique floral fragrance, which many humans absorbed without realizing it.

It's clear that the Corpse Mother is being extremely cautious this time.

Her original form is now completely hidden.

What's even more remarkable is that its fragrance didn't immediately pollute humans; instead, it lingered within their bodies and didn't release any heavy smog.

Everything happened so quietly.

Seven or eight days passed quickly.

During this period, the humans in the vicinity also suffered many misfortunes, being hunted down by inexplicable monsters from time to time.

However, overall, humanity has not collapsed.

On the contrary, under Vierlan's leadership, a large number of monsters were killed in a very tragic manner.

However, the number of people dying recently is indeed much higher than in normal times.

Even with official suppression and information blocking, people aren't stupid. At first, they didn't realize it, but now they have no choice but to.

It was clear that they couldn't hide it any longer.

Human authorities had no choice but to speak out.

They began to proactively disclose recent events and various aspects of the monsters.

This caused a huge uproar, filling countless people with terror.

The previously peaceful order was disrupted.

Fortunately, the human authorities were prepared before releasing the information.

This period of turmoil was indeed very difficult to manage at first.

But soon, on the surface, things returned to normal.

The official power is still too great.

Moreover, ordinary people can only rely on the government and awakened individuals.

As long as they want to live, they cannot escape these two factors. And if they want to be protected by these two, they must obey orders and not act recklessly.

Furthermore, this approach actually has an advantage: as more and more people learn the truth, more awakened individuals will emerge.

Some of these awakened beings were those who usually hid and secretly hunted monsters, while many others were the latest awakened beings created by the world's will.

In conclusion, the extraordinary is growing stronger.

Many people have also begun to aspire to be extraordinary and become one of those lucky ones.

Because only in this way can one survive in such a dangerous world.

Time continues to pass,

A month passed quickly.

The number of monsters is increasing, which is like wild beasts in the wilderness. If you pay attention, you can find them.

Sometimes, you can encounter groups of monsters wandering in the wilderness.

Unbeknownst to many, the clouds in the sky were no longer as pure as before, and some dark colors had appeared among them.

Monsters are more active at night.

The sea of ​​clouds high in the sky was even darker.

The starry sky that was once visible is now blurred and indistinct.

Only faint afterimages of some stars could be seen.

This situation is not very pleasant.

Many people seem to be feeling suppressed and are becoming increasingly depressed.

"It's almost ready to start."

"Tonight, let the entire world within a thousand miles become my territory."

"Then, let me evolve into my ultimate form."

In a dark underground place, the Corpse Mother revealed a sinister smile.

As time has passed, her flowers have appeared in even more places.

At the same time, her previously weak body naturally recovered a lot.

And then her will erupted.

In the surrounding towns and villages, Alice's flowers are emerging wildly from the corners of many houses.

They emitted a thick, gray haze, mixed with a strong fragrance.

In the blink of an eye, many human settlements became shrouded in mist. The smog here wasn't as thick as it had been in Kane Town. However, the pollution effect was still quite good.

Many people who were originally quite normal suddenly experienced splitting headaches and lost control, kneeling on the ground.

Of course, this does not apply to all humans.

These people are actually only a small fraction of the normal population.

Meanwhile, those who are awakened and those with strong bodies are generally fine.

Even so, it's still terrifying.

This is no wonder that the Corpse Mother has been lying low recently.

"My child, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh no, has a monster attacked us?"

"How terrifying, how terrifying, can humanity really survive?"

"Where is the safest place? Waaaaah!"

In an instant, the society that had been barely maintaining order collapsed.

"Roar, roar, roar," the eyes of those who were unwell silently turned gray.

They are instinctively bloodthirsty and instinctively attack normal people who have not yet been corrupted by demons.

These lowest-level mutated zombies aren't actually very strong, but they are impervious to pain, acting like wild beasts. This is still deadly for ordinary people.

"Oh no, get away from me."

"My dear child, don't bite me, I'm your mother."

"It's the end of the world, the world is going to end."

...

The scene became even more chaotic.

In just a moment, a large number of normal people were bitten and killed. These victims then also lost their senses and turned into bloodthirsty monsters.

It's like a snowball rolling downhill; the number of zombies is increasing. And the Zombie Mother seems to be absorbing nutrients from this, her strength is growing exponentially.

The few Alice flowers that were originally there began to multiply and become more and more numerous.

The surrounding area, stretching for miles, seemed to have turned into a living hell.

Alice's Flower became the main theme of the world.

Dawn City.

This area is densely populated.

There are many ordinary people.

However, this incident escalated into something even more serious.

The whole place is in complete chaos right now.

The demons that had been hiding in the shadows also showed themselves and began to take advantage of the chaos.

At first, there weren't many of the corrupted zombies, but soon they appeared in large groups and their numbers increased rapidly.

"How is this possible? Wasn't the Corpse Mother eaten by her own demon cubs?"

On the top of the Exorcism Bureau building, Sally stared in shock at the chaotic city in the distance.

At this moment, everything was in chaos; order had vanished under the onslaught of these monsters.

Although the human military reacted quickly, there were too many zombies, and even some within the military itself had become zombies.

This prevented the military from reacting immediately. By the time the military finally realized what was happening...

The city is in complete chaos.

For the Corpse Mother, the overall situation was now settled.

"Damn monster."

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."

Sally took a deep breath, and with a "boom," her flesh and blood transformed into flames. She rapidly expanded, becoming a fire giant.

"Poof!" Two enormous wings appeared behind Sally.

She soared into the sky and flew forward.

Wherever she goes, countless small fireballs erupt, covering the areas where many "monsters" reside.

In just a few seconds, a large number of monsters were burned to death.

"Kill, kill, kill! Eliminate all these monsters!"

Inside the building, some of the awakened individuals who had remained there also rushed out.

The awakened humans have finally begun a full-scale counterattack.

"Rain of Swords." A purple-blue light emerged from the east of the city and soared into the sky.

With a "bang," it exploded, turning into countless purple-blue lightsabers that scattered in all directions.

These lightsabers, like serpents, descended to low altitudes and darted about wildly.

Wherever they went, many monsters were killed.

"Monsters, why can't you all just die? Why do you have to harm people?"

Vierlan looked grief-stricken.

Over such a long period of time, her strength has improved considerably.

Nowadays, her moves have become increasingly diverse, and she can perform both single-target attacks and large-scale group attacks.

During this period, she also made a name for herself, making many people aware of her reputation.

Unfortunately, her reputation was of no use to the monsters.

"Hehehe, this time, I will be the winner." Suddenly, not far from Vierlan, an Alice flower, resembling a giant python, grew and climbed out from the ground.

From among them, a clone of the Corpse Mother emerged. She glared fiercely at Vierlan and said, "Perhaps I cannot kill you, but I can wipe out most of you humans."

"I was so foolish before."

"My true power is pollution, the natural disaster that transforms into humanity."

"I don't need to specifically hunt down geniuses like you."

She learned from her mistakes and became much more cunning, also learning to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"You deserve to die, I will definitely kill you completely." Vierlan casually swung her sword, and the sword light burst forth.

With a "whoosh," the air seemed to be shattered.

Before the Corpse Mother could react, she was killed.

"I will not let you succeed, I will absolutely not let you succeed. I am not the same person I used to be."

Vierlan gripped the Demon-Slaying Blade tightly, gritting her teeth.

Her body emitted a purplish-blue light, and she grew brighter and brighter.

Then it took off.

Her light, its reach, grew ever more distant and ever stronger.

In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire city.

"Aaaaah!" The numerous monsters, like vampires that cannot be exposed to the light, screamed and turned to ashes.

"Ah, is this a miracle?" Some people who were about to be bitten to death escaped by a hair's breadth. They stared dumbfounded at the large, purplish-blue orb of light.

"So, she's already comparable to a national-level Awakened One?" From all directions, the few Awakened Ones stared blankly at the little sun that Vierlan had transformed into.

In addition, the Alice flowers, which were not particularly dense or conspicuous and were hidden in the city, were also withered and turned to ashes by the sun.

"Hahaha, Vierlan, well done!" Sally laughed excitedly.

"Hehe." Then, the laughter that belonged only to the Corpse Mother rang out again. The Alice Flower, which had been dead, sprouted again from the ground.

"Hmph." Vierlan sneered, her light growing even stronger.

Even the thick soil was pierced.

However, this light does not cause any harm to ordinary people or even to anything in the world.

It targets only anything related to monsters.

"It hurts! Help me!" In the city's underground network of tunnels, the lucky survivors who had previously hidden there could no longer survive. They screamed as they vanished into thin air.

"You think you've won?" But the Corpse Mother was unusually tenacious; she was still speaking.

"You can save one city, but can you save ten towns?"

"Haha, you can't save the world."

The Corpse Mother's laughter grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

"Oh no, could it be that other towns and villages have also been attacked?" Sally sensed something was wrong.

"Chief, that's true. Now, towns all around are corrupted by the power of the Corpse Mother." Fei Ke leaped over from afar. His ability could also be used on himself, which enhanced his jumping ability. Each of his leaps covered tens of meters, making it seem like he was flying.

"Now, they're requesting reinforcements," Fei Ke shouted breathlessly. "It's terrifying! She attacked all the towns within a thousand miles in one go. She's practically a natural disaster; with this kind of power, she's comparable to some monsters capable of destroying entire nations."

"Oh no, what should we do? The coverage area is too big." Sally felt a chill run down her spine, as if she didn't know where to start.

"I'll take care of this monster as quickly as possible," Vierlan declared.

"But what will we do if you leave?" The ordinary people around who heard these words were terrified.

"yes,"

"We will die. Your mission is to protect Dawn City."

"Don't leave!"

...

Human nature is selfish; when they are in danger, they have no way of sympathizing with those next door.

They will do everything in their power to protect themselves.

"Don't worry, I was prepared." What Villan truly felt upon hearing this was anyone's guess.

However, she was able to resolve these people's concerns.

With a "whoosh," Vierlan raised her hand and slapped her forehead.

With a "whoosh," a small purple-blue sun flew out from her head.

"Uh." Vierlan's face turned pale; she was now noticeably weaker.

“I will leave my power here, so that any monsters that come will be killed,” Vierlan said softly.

After she uttered the last word, she was sent flying. She didn't give anyone a chance to speak.

"She's grown so much." Fei Ke's face was full of complex emotions. "Isn't she a savior?"

“It’s certainly very possible.” Sally’s face was also full of complicated emotions. “Are we useless? It’s too selfish to put all the pressure on her.”

"No, we have to do something too."

Sally felt very frustrated, upset, and resentful.

“Okay, let’s go help them too,” Fei Ke asked.

Sally nodded: "Yes. Although we are not strong enough, we can still kill some monsters. I believe that what we are doing is useful. It can reduce the number of deaths and allow more people to live."

...

Vierlan moved very fast, covering more than twenty miles in the blink of an eye.

However, Villand suddenly stopped.

"Cough cough cough." An elderly figure, coughing softly, stood quietly in the night sky, blocking Vierlan's view.
