Li Wei didn't notice the unusual expressions on the four men's faces. He just sighed and said, "Captain, I'll try my best... but I can't guarantee how long it will take for me to be promoted. I advise you not to have too high hopes."
"You think I'm the one who's anxious? It's the old commander who's anxious, okay?" Zhang Xiyue said helplessly.
"There's no use in being anxious."
Yang Erlang coughed a few times and said as someone who had been through it all: "Actually... the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to advance to the extraordinary level. How should I put it... it has a bit of a mystical feel to it, and it is also closely related to your state of mind."
"Some people become extraordinary after waking up from a nap, some may only break through during a life-or-death crisis, and some may break through in their entire lives... Don't be in a hurry."
"Well……"
Li Wei was stunned for a moment.
But before he could finish speaking, Liu Zhuangshi undermined him.
"Brother Yang, stop lecturing us. You're on the same level as us. Even if you're a bit stronger than me... you're not extraordinary."
"What do you mean, you become extraordinary after just one night's sleep? That sounds fake. You're not extraordinary, you wouldn't understand."
"Oh right, I don't understand."
Yang Erlang nodded.
I wasn't angry.
After all, they didn't know the inside story, and ignorance is no excuse.
Moreover, Eric did indeed become a transcendent after waking up from a nap, while Sun Aotian and Yang Erlang's advancement to transcendent was a natural progression, and the president broke through to transcendent during a life-or-death crisis.
Honestly...
Within the human camp, no one understands the extraordinary better than them.
Sun Ao was furious and was about to argue, but Meng Wu stopped him, just as he was about to give him a scolding.
Suddenly!
Mo Yu and the other two looked to the left at the same time.
Their expressions became wary, and their tones were completely identical.
"Watch out, robbers are coming!"
"What?!"
Liu Zhuangshi looked out the window.
They discovered a dense swarm of mutated beasts, rushing towards them in overwhelming numbers.
The group was led by a considerable number of high-level mutated beasts of various kinds, with mutated wild bears and jackals being the most prominent.
Seeing this scene...
Liu Zhuangshi panicked: "So fast? We've only just left Linhai City, haven't we? These beasts from the Beast Alliance... are they really that bold?!"
"Yes, there are quite a few, probably hundreds of thousands, and many of them are high-level mutated beasts."
Yang Erlang said calmly, "There are ten level-nine mutated beasts, and according to my observation... none of them are weak. It seems that the Beast Alliance has gone all out this time and intends to swallow all of your goods!"
"Damn it! There are ten level nine mutated beasts?!"
Li Wei's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately said, "But we only have five level nines! Damn it! Someone has to stay behind to cover our retreat! Otherwise... if this shipment is lost, the old commander will be furious with us!!"
"Li Wei, Liu Zhuangshi, you cover our retreat. We'll go first," Zhang Xiyue said through gritted teeth.
"Shall we cover their retreat?"
Liu Zhuangshi and Li Wei were taken aback.
This is tantamount to completely disregarding their lives.
But upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that this was inevitable... The Dawn Society and Dawn City couldn't afford to offend them. If any of these three level nine individuals were to die here, the relationship between the two sides would completely collapse, which would be absolutely intolerable.
From Zhang Xiyue's perspective...
People pay to escort goods, but it's purely out of humanitarian considerations.
If the danger is minor, she'll help resolve it. But if it's life-threatening, she'll prioritize her own safety. Even if she forces someone to cover her retreat... they might not be willing.
"Okay! It's settled then!"
Liu Zhuangshi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a death wish: "Brother Wei, I'll be the one to charge ahead... I'll fight to the death to kill as many level nine mutated beasts as possible. If you can hold them off until they leave safely, then hurry up and go. Don't worry about me!"
"Old Liu, let me be the one to charge ahead..."
Li Wei said earnestly, "Dawn City still needs someone to hold down the fort. Although you're a bit slow-witted, at least you're kind-hearted... and can help the captain and the old commander..."
"No, I don't have the talent, I can't become a superhuman! I'll do it!"
"I'll do it!"
"No, I'll do it!!"
"..."
Before they could finish speaking...
Yang Erlang had already reached the roof of the car and jumped off.
He leaped and landed above the mutated beast horde, then uttered two large words.
"Kneel down!"
Boom!!
The power of the domain spreads.
It swept across three kilometers, bringing an invisible pressure.
Before the hundreds of thousands of mutated beasts even got close, they all staggered and were pressed to the ground, including the ten level-nine mutated beasts.
Completely immobile, without exception...
This scene...
That's spectacular!!
It was so spectacular it made my heart tremble.
The leader, a level-nine mutated jackal, knelt on the ground.
He tried to stand up, but his body remained motionless due to the pressure. Suppressing his inner horror, he began to doubt his own existence.
WTF?!
What the hell is going on here?
Our Beast Alliance hasn't even made a move yet, and we've already been defeated?!
But that's what makes it extraordinary!
Nothing below the extraordinary level can withstand it.
This is what they mean by "Beyond the extraordinary, I am invincible; all things and beings are equal!"
At this very moment...
Yang Erlang stood in mid-air, turned his head and glanced at the two people in the car behind him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Brother Liu, Brother Li..."
"You don't need to worry about who will cover the rear. These mutated beasts aren't actually that powerful. I can handle them by myself."
Li Wei: "(⊙o⊙)?!"
Liu Zhuangshi: "(⊙o⊙)!!!"
