Wang Zheng stared blankly at the ring and bracelet on Ke An's hand for a moment, then he understood.
The military likely has even larger storage capacity equipment.
But now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing now is to find Old Man Chu and ensure his safety.
After taking the locator, Wang Zheng made some adjustments and determined the location, then gave Ke An a straight salute.
"Staff Officer Ke, until we meet again. Take care on your journey."
Ke An also returned the gift.
"Be careful, humanity will prevail!"
After a brief farewell, the red mist beneath Wang Zheng's feet suddenly condensed, lifting his body into the sky, where it quickly disappeared into the horizon.
As Wang Zheng disappeared into the horizon, Ke An silently prayed for him in his heart.
He immediately reported the situation to the military headquarters, especially Wang Zheng's movements. He then quickly composed himself and issued instructions into the communicator:
"All units should report their progress accordingly. Time is of the essence; the strange beasts have already entered the West District!"
...
Hearing the sounds of the operation being completed coming through his earpiece, Ke An stood in mid-air and brought back the last remaining brothers in the city one by one. Then, he quickly evacuated along the highway outside the East Gate.
Shortly after the last military group withdrew, a deafening explosion rang out, and the entire ground seemed to tremble.
A powerful shockwave then swept through the entire city.
After shaking a few times, countless buildings collapsed one after another, and the surrounding scenery was stained with a yellowish-brown color amidst the flying dust.
At that moment, a large amount of smoke and dust rose up, and the entire city was instantly turned into ruins, with the east and west ends completely blocked.
Countless strange beasts were buried under the ruins, letting out mournful roars, while the city walls of Tengchong remained as sturdy as ever, clearly the result of meticulous calculations.
Looking at the city collapsing in the distance, everyone was filled with mixed emotions.
After all, they had dedicated most of their military careers to it. Although the demolition had perfectly met their expectations, the reluctance in their hearts was indelible.
Ke An, leading his brothers from the Solid Stone Regiment, looked at the ruins of Tengchong City in the distance. Without lingering, they turned and left, embarking on a long escort mission.
He made up his mind in his heart:
When we come back next time, it will be time to retake Tengchong!
————
Baoshan City is the superior city of Tengchong, and the straight-line distance between the two cities is only over 100 kilometers.
In other words, if Wang Zheng were to travel at full speed, he would only need about ten minutes to reach his destination.
At this moment, Wang Zheng was extremely anxious, and while moving forward, he continued to absorb the spiritual energy crystal in his hand.
As he watched the spiritual energy value rapidly rising on the data panel, he felt for the first time that his absorption speed was still too slow.
Since Wang Zheng thought that he could absorb spiritual energy crystals as long as he touched them, he simply stopped in mid-air and hugged a large number of spiritual energy crystals to his chest.
In an instant, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into his body, and even the space around him was slightly distorted.
But this did not cause any unusual phenomena; after all the spiritual energy entered his body, it quickly became calm.
Seeing that this operation was effective, Wang Zheng looked at the crystals in his arms that were gradually becoming transparent, and took out all the spiritual energy crystals at once, absorbing them all.
Anyway, he had already discovered that absorbing the spiritual energy within the spiritual energy crystals did not make him feel full or intoxicated like eating meat or various rare and precious herbs. No matter how much he absorbed, it would not cause any abnormalities to his body.
It was as if some unseen storage space had stored all that spiritual energy for him, so Wang Zheng had no worries.
Time passed by, and soon Wang Zheng had absorbed all the spiritual energy crystals in his hands.
Looking at the upper limit of spiritual energy on the data panel, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
When Wang Zheng left Tengchong, he had 200,000 spiritual energy points. Along the way, he absorbed nearly 200 high-level spiritual energy crystals, gaining a total of more than 270,000 spiritual energy points.
After all, it's stock, so it's normal for some of the spiritual energy to have been lost.
At this moment, although there were still some spiritual energy crystals from the corpses of strange beasts in his storage space that he had not yet retrieved, he was no longer willing to waste any more time.
So after determining the direction, Wang Zheng sped directly towards Baoshan City.
Chi Yun traveled at an extremely fast speed. Before Wang Zheng could even calm down, he could already see the city in the distance, engulfed in flames and in complete ruins.
When Wang Zheng got closer, he realized that the battle here was basically over.
Unlike Tengchong, which has sturdy city walls for protection, Baoshan City, after being ravaged by a demon king, was hit by a beast tide where countless strange beasts surged in from all directions.
Built on a plain with no cover, Baoshan was easily breached by the horde of beasts that swept into the city.
The garrisoned military was unable to leave the city due to the Demon King's harassment, and in the end, they could only engage in street battles with the endless beast tide amidst chaos.
In addition, the Demon King and the superhuman had exchanged a few blows in the sky above the city at the beginning, resulting in a large area of scorched earth in the north of the city, a huge crater in the center of the city, and countless collapsed buildings and large areas of blood and corpses all around.
