Chapter 308
"Hurry! The south gate is open. It's safe over there. Run over there!"
On the street, Chi Hao was helping to evacuate the crowd.
The area where he was was very close to the gorilla, and looking at the giant beast, he felt his scalp tingling.
Such a big guy must be above level seven, no, at least level eight!
If there was only this one, the fortress could still organize a resistance force, but now there are at least five such monsters in Qingmu Castle!
Now that the indestructible barrier had been broken from within, they had no one to rely on and could only flee outside.
Although I am very reluctant to face it, the future situation is already before my eyes——
Aoki Castle has fallen!
"Where on earth did these monsters come from?" Chi Hao asked with red eyes, "How did they suddenly appear inside the fortress?"
He looked at the area where the monsters were most concentrated - that was clearly their headquarters.
Next to Chi Hao was his roommate Mu Sheng.
Although they don't usually get along, the situation is critical at the moment and they can only put aside their personal grudges temporarily.
"Is it the backlash of a high-level psychic?" Mu Sheng guessed.
"Huh? Five high-level psychics backlashing?"
Chi Hao didn't believe it. "These monsters are all above level seven. After the backlash, their strength was reduced by one level. Does that mean there are five level eight or level nine psychics backlashing at the same time?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Mu Sheng frowned. According to common sense, it was impossible. But he had heard some news that the fortress had recently harvested a batch of crystal ore...
"There's no point in discussing this now. Let's evacuate everyone to a safe place first."
Chi Hao pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Watching the fortress being destroyed and everyone scrambling to escape, he felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart and he felt like he was almost suffocating.
A safe place? After leaving the fortress, where else could there be a safe place that could accommodate the millions of people in Aoki Fort?
He could already foresee the tragic future...
[Friend "Dongtu Datang" requests to establish a voice call with you]
Chi Hao was stunned, walked a little further away, and then answered the call.
"Xiao An?"
"Brother Chihao, I heard from Brother Yunqing that Qingmu Fort was breached? Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Chi Hao felt warm in his heart.
Although Qingmu Fort fell, Chi Hao was not too worried about himself. After all, as long as he escaped from the fortress, he could run for another two months at most and then go to Jufeng Mountain to join his sister.
As soon as something happened in Qingmu Castle, he informed Hongli and Xie Chaori.
Hongli told him to run quickly, and Xie Chaori was silent for a while, and also told him to ignore everything and quickly go to the deserted city to meet them.
Chi Hao also thought about leaving during the chaos, but looking at the panicked crowd in the fortress running around, he really couldn't just leave like that.
He even had an absurd idea - should he take the refugees and flee to Jufeng Mountain?
His sister and Old Xie always talked about how well the Wasteland City was developing, how it was the future of the wasteland, and how they were creating a new world...
Then they should be able to accept some refugees, right?
But when he thought about the fact that it would take at least two months to travel from Qingmu Fort to the deserted city, he hesitated.
Does he have the ability to lead a large number of refugees over mountains and rivers and arrive safely when they may encounter mutant creatures and natural disasters at any time?
Just at this moment, Yun Qing happened to find him, and he told him about this.
Yun Qing said that he would find a solution.
It seems that he told Xiao An the news...
I heard from Hongli that Xiao An and the others are senior core members of the Shangshen Church. Doesn’t the Shangshen Church have a way to help them?
"It's fine for now."
Chi Hao briefly explained the situation.
"What are your plans next?" Tang Yu'an asked.
Chi Hao opened his mouth slightly, but before he could say anything more, he felt the light above him was blocked.
At the same time, a sharp chirping sound was heard, and the sound seemed to be able to penetrate people's eardrums.
Chi Hao quickly covered his ears and looked up.
They saw a huge bird flying over their heads with its wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, like the legendary Kunpeng.
It screamed sharply and flapped its wings to create a hurricane, attacking the people on the ground.
The crowd fleeing towards the South Gate was forced to stop. They tried to grab objects around them so as not to be blown away.
Despite this, some thin children were blown into the sky.
Chi Hao quickly jumped into the air and hugged the child, and a vine sprouted from the ground, wrapped around his waist, and pulled him down from the sky.
"Thank you."
Chi Hao returned the child to his family and casually said to Mu Sheng who rescued him.
Mu Sheng is a wood-type mutant, but he is a rare offensive player. The plants he stimulates cannot bloom and bear fruit, but they are very effective in combat.
"Let's run away too." Mu Sheng looked at the huge flying bird, "We can't defeat it."
If these monsters are really mutants who have been attacked by backlash, then there is only a small chance that they can regain their sanity.
When they transform into beasts, they will indiscriminately attack the surrounding creatures.
Chi Hao resisted the hurricane and said with difficulty: "How can we run in such a strong wind? Let's find a place to hide first..."
I don't know why, but he suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his speech.
Mu Sheng didn't want to care about him anymore. This situation was no longer something that people of their level could reverse.
The most important thing now is to protect yourself and stay alive!
Seeing that the gorilla was attracted by the flying bird and was approaching this side, Mu Sheng didn't want to stay any longer.
But just as he was about to run away, Chi Hao suddenly grabbed his hand.
Mu Sheng wanted to shake him off, but he saw that there was a pillow in Chi Hao's other hand.
The pillow was purple-red with intricate patterns and looked quite beautiful.
"What are you doing holding onto a pillow?"
Chi Hao also had a strange expression on his face.
“Let’s give it a try…”
"What?"
"Tie up the people around you!"
The birds in the sky suddenly flapped their wings again, causing a storm, and the wind was much stronger than before.
Mu Sheng subconsciously followed Chi Hao's words and released vines to tie up the people within dozens of meters around him.
He thought Chi Hao said this to use the weight of everyone to resist the storm, and thought he was finally smart for once, but...
Chi Hao suddenly lay down and rested his head on the pillow!
When Mu Sheng saw this scene, he was completely dumbfounded. Was it time to sleep now? Or did he think that lying on the ground would prevent him from being blown away?
"The wind seems to have weakened?"
Chi Hao grabbed Mu Sheng's ankle, feeling the power of the storm, and said with some surprise.
This pillow really works!
70% reduction in supernatural damage, what kind of artifact is this?
That’s right, this pillow is naturally a purple sleeping pillow, which was given to him by Tang Yu’an through the portable warehouse after he knew about his critical situation.
Although the triggering conditions of this artifact were a bit hard to accept, in desperation, Chi Hao chose to believe Tang Yu'an.
The wind has indeed become weaker, especially when the distant scenery is blown into the sky, which is even more obvious.
Because the vines in Mu Sheng's hand entangled at least hundreds of people, and the purple-red sleeping pillow used the user's height as the radius to form a barrier.
In addition, the streets were full of fleeing refugees, and with limited space, crowding was inevitable.
So at this moment, there were at least thousands of people touching each other.
Under the protection of the purple-red sleeping pillow, everyone was only affected by 30% of the wind force. Although it was still strong, it was not enough to blow people away.
The only drawback is that the purple sleeping pillow only protects the user, so only living things are protected, while the surrounding objects are still affected by the wind.
However, since the purple sleeping pillow has 100% physical damage reduction, it is okay to be hit by these things.
Mu Sheng soon discovered this as well.
What is going on?
And Chi Hao suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my god!"
Mu Sheng looked up and saw that the gorilla was very close. Its huge paws stepped down, and there were countless people below who had just been protected by them.
Anyone who is stepped on by that foot will be killed everywhere and no one will survive.
Mu Sheng couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene, but when she looked up, the gorilla's foot had already stepped down, and she had no time to react at all.
Screams were heard.
result--
The imagined scene of blood and flesh splattering did not appear. When the gorilla moved his feet away, the people he stepped on were all intact?
The violent gorilla seemed puzzled as well.
It tilted its head, raised its foot and continued to kick down, this time with much more force than the previous one.
The screams rang out again.
However, when the foot fell again, the people who were stepped on closed their eyes and did not feel any pain.
They opened their eyes and watched the gorilla's soles stepping on them again and again, and finally even crushing them again and again with its front paws in frustration.
However……
There's nothing wrong with them!
After this happened many times, the screams of fear from the crowd gradually stopped.
At this moment, a voice amplified by a loudspeaker rang out on this eerily quiet street.
"Everyone hold together! Everyone hold together! Only by holding together can we be protected!"
Mu Sheng was stunned. He lowered his head and saw Chi Hao took out a loudspeaker from somewhere and was singing to the crowd.
"you……"
When did he awaken such an amazing ability? Mu Sheng looked at Chi Hao and felt like he didn't even know him.
The people around who heard Chi Hao's shouting finally reacted and quickly huddled together.
Although this sounds unbelievable, they saw with their own eyes that the gorilla could not kill the person no matter how hard it stepped on him, so what was there to doubt?
People in the distance couldn't hear what Chi Hao was saying, but the group behavior had already spread out with Chi Hao as the center.
More and more people are coming under the protection of the purple sleeping pillow.
Seeing this situation, Chi Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least some people were saved, right?
At this moment, he saw the system panel pop up after a long absence.

Looking at the task change, Chi Hao couldn't help but show joy.
Oh my god, I finally don't have to endure that moral character test anymore! But...
How can he level up like this?
