Although they are temporarily in the lead, Baili Fu's strength is already above the Red Rank. In addition, although her mutated body looks extremely uncoordinated, it does not affect her speed at all, making their only lead advantage become precarious.
Those who were physically weak undoubtedly became Bailifu's targets.
Li Yuan, who was relatively weak, would have been doomed to die if it had not been for Wei Jie's help and Gongzi Yan's occasional assistance.
When they climbed up the city wall breathlessly, the small team of twenty or thirty people was reduced to only a dozen people.
Unfortunately, they had no time to catch their breath before they were closely caught up by Bailifu who had just had a full meal.
Although Li Yuan hated the feeling of being chased for her life, once she saw the bloody battlefield behind her, she had to grit her teeth and persevere no matter how hard or tiring it was.
"She's coming up. This is not a solution. We seem to have forgotten the most important thing. She can't break through the city gate, but she can jump down from the city wall. In this way, won't we lead her to our lair?"
Suddenly, Gongzi Yan slowed down. He glanced at Baili Fu, who was staggering behind him with a flying footsteps, and looked at everyone with a very unpleasant expression.
Li Yuan trembled slightly at her words: "Yes, yes, how could I forget this? Then, what should I do? She is coming soon."
Gongzi Yan even noticed that the burning bullet just now obviously did not cause her much harm. It just burned and destroyed the layer of clothes on the surface of her body. Her skin looked darker than before, and it had no effect on other things.
The layer of black scales on the surface of her skin was invulnerable to swords and guns, and could not be broken no matter how hard you poked it. But you couldn't attack her too close, or you would be bitten by her sharp nails and flying snake heads if you were not careful. Once bitten or left a wound, there was no hope.
What should I do? I can't run forward anymore.
Then, it seems that there is only one way to go.
Gongzi Yan raised his bloodstained handsome face and looked at her men with a serious look in his eyes, "Are you afraid of death?"
These men were all elite soldiers and generals of the City That Never Sleeps. After such a bloodbath, although there were only a few left, they all had determined eyes.
In the sunlight, everyone held their swords tightly, stared at their young master with resolute eyes, and shouted in unison: "Long live the City That Never Sleeps!"
"Long live, long live, long live!!!"
"Young Master, please give us your orders. We will follow you till death and will never retreat even a single step!"
Gongzi Yan's eyes swept over their young, resolute faces, which exuded bloodiness and courage. While feeling regretful, he bit his silver teeth hard.
"Very good, this is the real man of our Never-Sleeping City. Let us unite and put an end to this monster in our welcoming formation!"
Everyone who had begun to despair, however, when they heard the welcoming formation, their eyes suddenly brightened, as if they had seen the hope of life from Gongzi Yan's voice.
Li Yuan and Wei Jie watched this scene quietly.
In the backlight, the sun's radiance seemed to make this young man, who was only ten years old but had such a strong heart, look even taller and straighter.
The ink-black robe fluttered in the wind. Although it was dirty and tattered by blood, it did not affect the innate deterrence emanating from his body.
His voice was not loud, but every word was sonorous, and his calm tone revealed a majesty that could not be violated, which was enough for everyone standing there to hear clearly.
For such a person, even someone as arrogant as Wei Jie would feel a very special respect for him from the bottom of his heart.
It turns out that sometimes, age and prestige are disproportionate.
This young man is not simple!
"Young Master," Li Yuan seemed to sense his determination, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a certain string became tense.
"Miss Kang Qi, everything that follows is now in the hands of you. Please quickly return to the second city gate and help me manage the situation. I will take care of the aftermath here!"
"No, how can this be possible? Bailifu has become a demon. How can you deal with her like this?"
Li Yuan's voice trembled a little, and her black eyes stared at Gongzi Yan without blinking. The reluctance in her eyes made Wei Jie frown unconsciously.
"This monster, even with the two of you, it will be useless. If you stay, at least there is still a glimmer of hope for normal people. You must find a place to stay as soon as possible and research the antidote. Don't forget, there are thousands of people here waiting for you to rescue them."
At this point, he couldn't help but look at Wei Jie behind him, "Your Highness the Phoenix King?"
"You say," Wei Jie looked at him calmly.
Gongzi Yan first looked at him deeply, and then lowered his head slightly, "Everything, please!"
Wei Jiexuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were filled with inexplicable complexity, "I will do my best."
When Gongzi Yan heard this, he said "hmm" lightly and turned around abruptly. Li Yuan followed closely but was stopped by Wei Jie.
From afar, his usual calm and gentle voice could be heard: "The City That Never Sleeps will be handed over to you for the time being."
Gongzi Yan and his men bypassed Baili Fu by making a frontal breakthrough, leaving four people behind to clean up the mess while the rest rushed towards the city gate regardless of everything.
They have become real targets.
Li Yuan was in a terrible mood, but she didn't have time to feel sorry for herself because she had more important things to do.
"Quick, find me a quiet place. I need to find an antidote as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will all die."
Li Yuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked back at Wei Jie.
Wei Jie was surprised at her determination. He thought the girl would be sad for a while, but he didn't expect her to divert his attention so quickly.
"Let's go!" The two of them took a last deep look ahead, suppressed their worries, and rushed towards the next city at an extremely fast speed.
Just when the Never-Sleeping City was about to fall into despair, no one noticed that an old man in a black robe suddenly disappeared into the black area with a person, above Room 10...
Li Yuan and Wei Jie successfully arrived at City No. 2. Without taking the time to observe the environment there, Li Yuan asked about the location of the pharmacy and left alone to go into seclusion.
The control of City No. 2 is in the hands of the eight guardians, led by the Feng Guardian, while Qingchen and his men are responsible for guarding the virus carriers from beginning to end.
While no one was paying attention, Wei Jie disappeared silently in City No. 2.
Gongzi Yan and his group of fifteen people used their own flesh and blood to push Baili Fu off the city gate tower.
During this period, four people fell with Baili Fu. After three of them were infected, they voluntarily followed Baili Fu and jumped into the city to self-destruct.
The remaining eight people were injured to varying degrees. Although they were not bitten, the poisonous insects that crawled out of Baili Fu's body made these people consciously give up hope of survival. They took the initiative to ask Gongzi Yan to open the formation and lead Baili Fu to the most critical position.
Gongzi Yan tried hard to hold back his tears and watched them jump off the city wall with a serious look. She then opened the mechanism on the city gate tower, entered the main control room, and personally controlled the city defense formation outside the City That Never Sleeps.
Apart from the four black protectors, Zui, Sheng, Meng and Si, who were patrolled in various directions by her, and the wind protector who stayed in city No. 2 and the flower protector in city No. 3, the only ones left by Gongzi Yan's side were the snow protector and the moon protector who had just cleaned up city No. 1.
As soon as the two of them finished, they relied on their spiritual awareness and unique methods to quickly search for Gongzi Yan's location.
Hei Chun has been walking around every corner of City No. 1, searching for any possible mutated poisonous insects and poisons. Fortunately, the Snow Guardian and the Moon Guardian have burned all the broken corpses, leaving no possibility of revival. Its task has become much easier, and it gradually shifted its attention to Bailifu who was trapped on the periphery.
As long as she is alive, new insect poisons will continue to spread, and Hei Chun's purpose of staying is to eliminate all these insect poisons.
The main control room is located directly below the city gate tower. It has existed since the beginning of the city. After a hundred years of changes, the various instruments and mechanisms here have become more and more sophisticated, and it is even possible to observe all external conditions through special refractors installed in every corner.
With the addition of the Snow Guardian and the Moon Guardian, Gongzi Yan was like having two extra pairs of eyes. Coupled with years of cooperation, a kind of tacit understanding gradually formed between the three of them.
Everyone put aside all external interference and focused their full attention on the plan to destroy Bailifu.
"Southeast direction, forty-five degrees, attack!"
"Southwest direction, thirty degree angle, attack!"
"Dismiss formation number 1, activate formation number 3,"
