Chapter 514 Speculation.
Just as the various colored lights from everyone's superpowers rose up on the defensive line, the "green canopy" overhead that blotted out the sun had already stirred up a storm!
The massive trunks of the branches rooted behind Lu Nange and her group trembled, as if they were awakening completely from a long period of dormancy.
Countless thick vines swept forward with an overwhelming force!
"Whoosh—Boom!!!"
The first wave of vines lashed out horizontally in a fan shape, crashing into the front of the zombie horde.
The low-level zombies mixed in with the high-level zombies had no time to react before they were whipped into the air like withered wheat stalks being harvested by a scythe!
The cracking sounds of bones breaking mingled with the muffled thuds of rotting flesh being torn apart, and foul-smelling blood and shattered bone fragments splattered everywhere...
Several level 5 and 6 zombies that charged ahead tried to withstand the attack with their instinctive defensive abilities, but they all crumbled under the brutal and unreasonable vine strikes!
Even if they weren't blown apart on the spot, most of them were flung off the ground and flew into the air like tattered sacks, rolling and crashing into the surging zombie horde behind them.
This immediately triggered a chaotic cacophony of howls and stomping, slightly slowing the momentum of the subsequent zombie onslaught.
However, it had no effect on level seven and eight zombies. After a brief period of chaos, the charge did not stop, but instead became even more frenzied.
And then there are those "hybrid monsters" whose upper bodies retain their rotting human form, but whose lower bodies are grafted with animal bodies... Their charging speed hardly slows down, roaring as they continue to rush towards the human defense line!
Nevertheless, Zhizhi's preemptive strike was like a shot of adrenaline, injecting into the tense hearts of all the superhumans present!
"Holy crap! Awesome!!!" He Zhu shouted excitedly as he hurled the prepared earth spikes at several giant zombies, "Little Zhizhi, you're awesome!"
Lu Nange stood in the center of the line: "Yan Ge, Zhizhi, and I are responsible for dealing with those level eight zombies."
All the remaining level seven and below zombies are yours to handle!
"Don't worry, Nan Nan!"
"Leave it to us!"
Lu Nange said no more. A faint blue breeze seemed to pass through her eyes, and her aura suddenly became sharp and ethereal.
She raised both hands, her slender fingers seemingly bearing immense weight, the touch of her fingertips creating invisible ripples.
In an instant—a fierce wind arose from the ground!
It wasn't a natural breeze, but a violent current imbued with a destructive intent by an eighth-level wind-type superpower!
All unsecured objects on the ground—rubble, dust, zombie limbs, and even some low-level zombies—were swept up by this terrifying suction force and drawn into the rapidly spinning...
The wind howled mournfully, like the wailing of ghosts, chilling to the bone.
"go!"
Lu Nange pushed forward with both palms!
The azure wind dragon, which rapidly expanded to seven or eight meters in diameter and carried flying sand and stones, crashed fiercely towards the area where the zombie horde was located!
Wherever it passed, it plowed the earth, leaving jagged ravines several meters deep.
Drawn by the zombie horde, the low-level zombies blocking the path were instantly torn to shreds as if thrown into a meat grinder!
However, just as the wind dragon was about to crash into the high-level corpse horde...
Without warning, a very familiar, intermittent electronic noise exploded in Lu Nange's mind.
[Nan Nan...we must force the person behind this to come out, kill him...destroy...the thing inside his body...]
Before the words were finished, the electronic voice stopped!
Almost at the same instant that warning sound of "Youyou" began to ring out, a warning screamed in Lu Nange's heart!
An indescribable malice was fixed on her!
It felt as if the blood in her limbs and bones had frozen in an instant...
The moment the "youyou" sound disappeared, she looked up abruptly, her pupils contracting sharply!
In the sky, behind the huge electronic screen that was always suspended and displaying the devastation of the world, a thundercloud of blinding blue-purple lightning had gathered in the once clear and cloudless blue sky!
At the center of the clouds, energy was converging wildly... its terrifying aura, as deep and imprisoned as an abyss, locked onto her location!
That was no natural phenomenon! It looked like... divine punishment coming for her?
Just as Lu Nange's body tensed, her supernatural powers surging unconsciously in an attempt to resist, and she even prepared for the worst-case scenario of enduring this annihilation...
The terrifying lightning bolt, poised to strike and seemingly about to pulverize her and everything around her, flickered and twisted violently in mid-air a few times.
Without falling, it vanished silently...
Lu Nange's heart was pounding wildly in her chest like a drum.
But her mind raced after the extreme shock, and a series of clues flashed through her head.
A message has arrived—[The mastermind? An outsider? A divine punishment of lightning? The world has been programmed?...]
I understand! So there must be some kind of system or Heavenly Dao in this world?
Perhaps the reason 'Youyou' was able to contact me before was because the distance was far enough that the 'person behind the scenes' could not detect such subtle cross-dimensional fluctuations?
The person behind the scenes is in Beijing, so in Beijing, as long as there is any energy fluctuation of "youyou", it will be immediately detected by the other party, and my location will be locked.
Could the other party even directly invoke the power of this world's 'rules' to annihilate them?
This deduction sent a chill down her spine.
If all of this is true, then the "mastermind" behind the scenes may very well... truly see himself as a "god" or "manager" of this world to some extent!
Lu Nange: [Yo, you're not suggesting I fight against the so-called 'heaven', are you?]
......
Several kilometers away, in that monitoring room.
The man, who had been lounging lazily in the soft sofa, straightened up with an elegance and danger akin to a feline awakening.
On the giant screen in front of him, everything happening outside the Flame Core defense line was being displayed in real time from multiple angles in high-definition quality.
The vines sweeping across the battlefield, Lu Nange's stunning attack unleashing a destructive wind dragon, and finally, the eerie "divine punishment" lightning that coalesced and dissipated...
The playful smile that had been on his handsome but bloodless face vanished.
His pupils contracted slightly, like a venomous snake before hunting, locking onto Lu Nange and the others in the center of the screen.
"As expected... the root of the problem still lies with you... restless 'ants'."
His gaze swept over Zhizhi: "Hoping that good-for-nothing 003 will bring you back is wishful thinking. Fine..."
He stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lower lip, his eyes gleaming with an eager, almost manic light.
"Watching plays all the time can get a bit boring after a while. It's time to stretch my muscles."
