"Little Ant is alright!"
"The girl from the mutual aid society must have been knocked unconscious, but she's not in mortal danger! But the Heavenly Soul Child seems to be motionless; I wonder if it's broken!"
Leng Yue and Ning Yanlan both returned. The little ant had eaten its fill, and its body color had improved considerably. Ning Yanlan, on the other hand, brought the shrunken Tianhun Tong and Wang Lina, but both of them were in similar condition, appearing to be unconscious.
Jiang Yuan left Death's Blessing among the pile of rotten flesh left behind by Hatred. Although the blessing came a little late, it could at least give those departed souls a little relief.
"Sigh, everyone's showing off, except for me and the War Puppet!" Jiang Yuan took the Heavenly Soul Child and sighed deeply.
"Is the Heavenly Soul Child alright?" Ning Yanlan asked worriedly.
The Heavenly Soul Child held profound significance for her and Jiang Yuan. From the moment they left Tieling Village until later, when the Heavenly Soul Child continued to protect her, she regarded the Heavenly Soul Child as Jiang Yuan's alter ego, a knight silently guarding her. If anything happened to the Heavenly Soul Child, she would definitely feel terrible.
"It's nothing serious, it just ran out of energy. I'll replenish its Holy Spirit Crystals and it'll be able to continue fighting!" Jiang Yuan's tone changed as he frowned and said, "However, we'd better not use the Heavenly Soul Child anymore. It showed up in the South City Prison before, and it might be recognized by someone with ulterior motives!"
"And what about her?" Leng Yue asked, her expression unchanged, pointing to the unconscious Wang Lina on the ground.
"Let's try to resuscitate her and see if she wakes up! If she wakes up, let her go back on her own; if she doesn't, we'll hand her over to the people from the mutual aid group!" Jiang Yuan made the decision without much thought.
"Look! The heroes are alive! We're saved!"
Suddenly, someone poked their head out from the balcony of Building 7.
“They are residents!” Ning Yanlan pointed to the cluster of buildings nearby and said, “There should be quite a few people in Tianlan Huating who have not yet been evacuated. It would be best to have others help guide them to a safe area.”
“At this rate, the West Gate area will inevitably fall completely within three days. When the beast tide army is pressing in, there will be no way to escape!” Jiang Yuan frowned.
Although the beast tide was massive, the southern city was not small either. The western gate area alone covered nearly 100 square kilometers. It would take time for the beast tide to completely control the western gate area. Moreover, monsters never simply invade; they slaughter, wiping out all other living beings wherever they go. This would take no less time than a gradual invasion.
After using the resuscitation technique, Leng Yue waited a few seconds and, seeing Wang Lina's lips move, said, "She should wake up! The evacuation of the Tianlan Huating personnel can be handled by her. Let's move on!"
The original plan was to test the waters at Tianlan Huating, but unexpectedly, the camp had already cleared it out first, and they encountered even more troublesome abominations, which made them look very bad. Fortunately, they managed to drive away the abominations, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get out of here.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Wang Lina. He admired the girl's courage, risking her life to rescue people from a place on the verge of collapse. "She deserves a pregnancy pill from me!"
Jiang Yuan took out a medicine bottle, poured out a fetal pill, and stuffed it into Wang Lina's mouth.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and find that abomination!" Jiang Yuan stood up and was about to leave.
"You're really generous, giving away a sixth-tier embryo pill to a girl you've never even met!" Leng Yue mocked Jiang Yuan as she walked away.
"Could it be because she's pretty?"
Leng Yue suddenly chimed in.
"In terms of beauty, who here doesn't crush her? If we're talking about beauty, I'm afraid you two will have ripped me off and made me bankrupt!" Jiang Yuan laughed, but the faceless mask on his face gave off a different kind of frivolous feeling.
"Stop flattering me. You must have taken a lot of core members just now! You must know the details of Abomination's background, but you don't intend to reveal everything you know!" Leng Yue didn't walk next to Jiang Yuan, but instead chose to let Ning Yanlan stand in the middle, so as to prove her intentions.
"I'll tell you about that later. Let's decide on our next destination first. Where should we go next?" Jiang Yuan stopped and looked at the two women.
After discussing it for a while, Leng Yue finally suggested, "Since we've chosen to conceal our identities, let's go straight to the streets. That's a defensive battleground where we can fight more monsters! The three apartment complexes and two old town areas are more like guerrilla warfare. The three of us going to those places would be like headless flies, not knowing where to start!"
"Then there are seven streets, six of which are in the Fifth Ring Road and one in the Sixth Ring Road. This means that the Sixth Ring Road is under the greatest pressure from the beast tide, and people are dying almost every moment!"
"Given the current strength of the Oath Squad, I suggest we go to any street within the Fifth Ring Road. The Apostle only has the strength of the Ancient Martial Arts system, and he's injured, so he's at most a fifth-tier fighter; Bai is also injured, so his role is also limited; therefore, let's go to the Fifth Ring Road!"
Leng Yue acted swiftly and decisively, quickly devising a battle plan for them.
"There's one more thing. We absolutely cannot let Abomination go. He's not only a mutated power-type, but he also possesses extraordinary talent. If we don't eliminate him, the consequences will be dire!" Jiang Yuan said seriously, without a hint of joking.
“I have the aura of hatred, and I can sense it as long as it is within the range of the Stone Breath!” Ning Yanlan said while using the Demon Pearl.
“Then we should go through every area. Now that we’ve come all this way, we can’t miss any human who might be alive!” Jiang Yuan said righteously.
"I think you have ulterior motives!" Leng Yue mocked mercilessly.
"I think you don't want to share those cores anymore. You know, I snatched all those cores!" Jiang Yuan threatened Leng Yue with a middle finger and a smile.
"Why do you always bully her? You have no gentlemanly manners at all!" Ning Yanlan slapped his hand that was pointing the middle finger. "Take it back!"
"I was just joking with her. We need to find a safe place to open the core, otherwise what if someone else takes advantage of us when we're dividing the spoils?" Jiang Yuan explained.
"When the clam and the snipe fight, the one who benefits might not be the fisherman, but the sea king! Right, sea king!" Leng Yue was not one to take things lying down, and she seized the opportunity to insult him.
"Damn, you don't actually think I gave that sixth-tier fetal pill because I had ulterior motives towards that girl, do you?! No way! No way! No one really thinks that, right?!" Jiang Yuan said in a frustrated tone, then tossed out several bottles of fetal pills. "I know you're just jealous. Here, here, these are all yours! Don't badmouth me in front of Xiaobai. Even the Dragon King is better than the Sea King!"
"Feeling guilty!" Leng Yue not only accepted the fetal pill, but also pressed her advantage relentlessly.
"Stop arguing, there seems to be a hidden force ahead!" Ning Yanlan pointed ahead, her Stone Breath allowing her to perceive what was happening within a ten-mile radius.
"How many people?" Jiang Yuan stopped joking. When traveling, one must be wary not only of monsters, but also of one's own kind.
Human deceit and treachery became more direct after the catastrophe, sometimes even to the point of not bothering to pretend.
"Seven people! We need to be careful. They're carrying a strong aura of malevolence; they must have killed quite a few people!" Ning Yanlan couldn't sense anything more, but judging from Shi Zhixi's feedback, this group was up to no good and was likely a group of murderers and robbers.
"Ahead lies Yujing New City!" Leng Yue glanced at the map and then suggested, "How about we take a detour?"
