Lu Nange's mental force field clearly sensed: the snakes were twisting wildly on the scorched earth, insects and ants were gushing out of their nests, and all living things were struggling to death in the flames...
The surviving mutant animals were beaten to a bloody pulp by the Level 4 golden shield, and finally had no choice but to turn around and run towards the only way to survive.
At the entrance of Tongqi, Chi Yanzhou stood in the center.
The fan-shaped battle formation behind him blocked the way completely, and supernatural light flashed.
A black mass of mutated flying birds soared into the sky from the burning treetops, but was hit by a double blow the next second.
A flash of silver light flashed in Lu Nange's eyes, and his mental power was like an invisible giant palm that fiercely slapped down the flock of birds in the distance.
At the same time, the branches of the vines turned into whip shadows all over the sky, beating the approaching flying creatures to pieces.
One far and one near, working together seamlessly.
On the ground, Chi Yanzhou and his group's defense line remained motionless.
All the mutant animals that tried to break through were eventually turned into pieces of flesh and blood.
He Zhuo used his earth thorn to split the monster that was charging at him, and the slime splashed on the ground with a hissing sound: "Ah! What the hell is this?"
He kicked away the twisted stumps at his feet: "Why do they all look like they came out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas? They are all so ugly, each one more disgusting than the other, and I can't recognize them at all!"
Gu Qi: "The one you killed just now should be a mutant red ant."
"Ants?" He Zhuo almost slipped and pointed at the insect corpse on the ground that was almost as big as Lu Beiye: "Whose ants can spray sulfuric acid? This thing can be used as an aquarium in the fresh food market!"
Gu Qi: "A special edition for the end of the world."
The skyline of Ping City was swallowed up by the eternal night, with only the continuous flames in the distance piercing the darkness.
A metallic luster burst out from the twisted flames, and the lights of various supernatural powers flickered like dying stars.
Thick black clouds pressed down over the city like a solid substance, preventing even a ray of moonlight from penetrating.
Behind a windowsill, the survivor's dirty fingers clenched the curtains tightly.
He stared blankly at the flickering fire in the distance, muttering to himself through his cracked lips: "Is there really any hope for a world like this?"
......
The fire that engulfed the forest continued to burn for fourteen hours, and it was not until near noon the next day that the last flame gradually died out.
11:00 a.m. sharp.
The lead-gray sky was still low, not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate.
The temperature no longer rose, and a coolness filled the air, as if even the heat of the flames had been absorbed by the darkness.
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Nange and his companions were covered in soot, and their jackets were covered with burn marks.
Behind them, the once lush forest now has only one lane left for vehicles, with twisted and charred tree trunks on both sides.
General Cheng wiped the coal dust off his face and said in a hoarse voice, "We have been fighting for a day and a night. Why don't we rest for a day before leaving?"
Jiang Jing nodded in agreement: "It would be safer to rest up before setting off again."
Chi Yanzhou shook his head: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Jiang, we are in a hurry to return to Beijing. We have been delayed for too long on the way."
Jiang Zhiwang patted the car door: "Boss, at least let us take you out of the city!"
Jiang Jing and Jiang Zhian nodded.
Lu Xici held his arm and said softly, "Jiang Zhiwang, Uncle Jiang, you have fought hard all day, it's time to go back and have a good rest."
"I'll take you there!" General Cheng opened the car door without saying a word.
Chi Yanzhou pressed the car door tightly: "Uncle Cheng, your body also needs rest."
He looked at the soldiers behind General Cheng: "They also need to rest..."
General Cheng glared and pointed to the end of the road: "I have informed you of the vehicles, license plates, and occupied areas along the way. You can get out of the city by following this road!"
Lu Nange and his group climbed onto the pickup truck - Jiang Jing and General Cheng insisted that they had no other cars and wanted to give them three cars. They could only choose a pickup truck that could tow all of them away at the same time.
The moment the engine roared, Lu Nange stood beside the truck bed, looked at the people jogging after the pickup truck and said, "Jiang Zhian! Jiang Zhiwang! Next..."
Two bulging backpacks drew an arc in the air and were caught by the Jiang siblings.
"Uncle Cheng." Chi Yanzhou then threw out two backpacks: "Safety."
As the tires kicked up dust, words of farewell intertwined:
"goodbye!"
"Bon Voyage!"
"Be safe!"
Jiang Zhian: "I hope the next time we meet, it will be in the new world! Treasure!"
These sounds were quickly torn apart by the howling wind and dissipated in the scorched earth-filled air.
In the rearview mirror, the silhouette of the escort became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a few black dots on the horizon.
The moment Jiang Zhiwang opened his backpack, he asked: "Crystal core...?"
There were sudden cries of surprise from all around.
"All crystal cores!"
"Level 1! Level 2!"
"Oh my god! There's a third-level crystal core!"
General Cheng looked at the car in the distance and said, "These silly kids..."
At this time, in the pickup truck, Lu Nange's space was still piled with a mountain of crystal cores - all of which were spoils that Zhizhi had collected from the forest.
Two days of intense fighting left everyone exhausted.
He Zhuo and Gu Qi sat slumped in the truck bed, not even bothering to care that their cloaks were covered in ashes.
