Outside Yandu.
The bright sunshine turned into a gray haze, and against the backdrop of flying ash and blood, the whole world appeared even darker red.
Within the red-covered area, the once lush and verdant forest has become dilapidated. The vibrant trees and flowers have all withered, the streams have dried up, leaving only desperate fish leaping and struggling. Countless birds and beasts have scattered from the forest, and even the solid ground is covered with cracks, as if it were a shattered mirror.
Awooooo—!
A series of roars, each louder than the last, came as countless demonic beasts emerged from the Blazing Sun Forest and charged toward Yandu. The dust they raised resembled a sandstorm suddenly erupting in the Gobi Desert, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Wherever the horde of monsters passed, everything was razed to the ground!
at this time.
All residents within ten kilometers of the Scorching Sun Forest have been evacuated, and cordon lines have been erected in the streets, completely dividing Yandu into two worlds.
Several helicopters swept across the sky, hovering and circling around the horde of monsters. Several men dressed in Shenwu Pavilion uniforms stared at the surging monsters below, their faces grim.
"This scene is much scarier than those disaster horror movies," Zhou Cheng couldn't help but say. "What's wrong with these monsters? Why don't they stay in the forest? Why do they have to run out?"
"Exactly!" Liu Tianhao, sitting next to him, chimed in, "We finally managed to chase them back into the forest, and they're already causing trouble again after just a few hours? They won't even let us catch our breath!"
Yang Lin and Du Pengyi silently watched the horde of monsters below without saying a word.
Lu Yuan seemed to have guessed something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Xiao Lu, what did you observe?" Yang Lin noticed Lu Yuan's expression and tentatively asked.
“These monsters seem to be…” Lu Yuan paused slightly, then hesitated before saying, “They seem to be fleeing for their lives.”
"Run for your life?!"
Upon hearing this, the other four were all shocked.
Among the monsters below, not to mention the proportion of Xuanzhen and Diling levels, there are dozens of Tianyan level monsters alone. How could such terrifying combat power be running for their lives?
Lu Yuan also knew that this conjecture was too far-fetched.
But for some reason, he felt that these monsters were fleeing for their lives, as if something terrifying was chasing them from the Scorching Sun Forest.
"Whether they're fleeing for their lives or not, we must stop them here and not let these crazed monsters rush into Yandu!"
Without dwelling on the matter, Yang Lin directly issued orders to the others.
Regardless of whether these demonic beasts were fleeing for their lives, they had only one goal: to prevent any of them from entering Yandu!
"yes!"
Du Pengyi and the others responded solemnly and then began preparations for battle.
"Xiao Lu, go back to the rear and find Meng Jiaqi in a bit. The support and treatment depend on you!" Yang Lin turned to Lu Yuan and solemnly entrusted him with the task.
"no problem."
Lu Yuan nodded.
Although he wanted to help Yang Lin and the others share some of the defensive pressure, he couldn't do much to help with such an overwhelming number of monsters, most of which were at least at the Earth Spirit level. In fact, he might need Yang Lin to look after him.
After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan redeemed four defensive magical artifacts in the shop.
"Brother Yang, you guys take this with you."
Yang Lin raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious, as Lu Yuan handed him four bracelet-like objects.
"What's this?"
"A spiritual artifact," Lu Yuan said calmly, "that can help you withstand three attacks from a Heavenly Evolution-level demonic beast."
? !
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, not only Yang Lin, but also the other three people wearing protective suits next to him were shocked.
A magical artifact?!
It can withstand three attacks from a Heavenly Evolution-level demonic beast?!
"Xiao Lu, this..."
Du Pengyi looked at Lu Yuan with some hesitation.
Putting aside how precious the magical artifact is, the fact that it can block the attacks of a Heavenly Evolution-level demonic beast is enough to make everyone fight over it!
But now Lu Yuan has taken out four items and given them to them all at once?
This is incredibly valuable!
Du Pengyi stood there, clenching his fists, too afraid to accept the gift.
"Thank you, Xiao Lu. It seems I owe you another favor this time!" Yang Lin suddenly reached out and took the four bracelets, then turned and distributed them to the other three. "This is Xiao Lu's kind offer, so don't refuse. Remember, only by surviving can we repay Xiao Lu's kindness!"
Upon hearing this...
The fearful expressions on Du Pengyi and the others' faces turned into determination, and they took the bracelets and put them on their wrists.
"Ready? Let's go!"
"yes!"
At Yang Lin's command, the group walked to the helicopter door and jumped out one by one.
"Hey! We haven't missed our daily patrols, so how come there are suddenly so many demonic beasts? There are even so many at the Heavenly Evolution level! All the missions I've done combined haven't seen as many as today!"
Stop complaining and jump!
Yang Lin slapped Zhou Cheng off the helicopter, then jumped down himself.
Liu Tianhao was the last to jump from the plane, and before taking off, he gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
"Brother Lu, we will definitely come back alive!"
After saying that.
Liu Tianhao jumped out of the helicopter without looking back, and his figure was quickly swallowed up by the surging horde of monsters.
May your military career prosper!
After taking one last deep look at the direction where Yang Lin and the others jumped from the plane, Lu Yuan turned and ordered the helicopter to fly back to the rear defense line.
This kind of beast tide is beyond the capabilities of simple firearms. Even if helicopters are left here, it will be useless and may even cause friendly fire.
Lu Yuan raised his hand to cover his heart, his brows furrowed.
"I hope everyone can get through this difficult time safely..."
...
The citizens who were relocated to the southernmost area of Yandu all looked up towards the direction of the blazing forest.
A crimson glow enveloped everything, while yellow sand filled the sky.
The battlefield at this moment truly felt like the end of the world.
Everyone huddled together, as if only in this way could they soothe their unease.
They didn't know what fate awaited them, and could only pray silently in their hearts.
at the same time.
The commander's office on the top floor of the Shenwu Pavilion Yandu branch building.
Maki Kitano stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, also gazing towards the direction of the blazing sun forest.
"Snap!"
Suddenly.
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
Mu Beiye looked down at the teacup in his hand. For some reason, a crack had appeared out of nowhere. He frowned, and the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger.
Looking up and refocusing his gaze on the battlefield in the Scorching Sun Forest, Mu Beiye murmured to himself as if talking to himself.
"Bai Ze".
"Has the millennium you spoke of finally arrived?"
