In the dormitory.
After understanding the situation in the city, Lin Zichen kept frowning and couldn't relax.
The Land of Silent Destruction and the Holy Land of Sun and Moon joined forces to attack City No. 1, causing heavy casualties.
Two extraordinary genius team members died - Nangong Liuyun and Qian Yifei.
Lin Zichen had an impression of these two people. They were the opponents he met when he first entered the source to participate in the test.
Unexpectedly, these two people died so suddenly.
In addition, several epic-level powerhouses and dozens of rare-level powerhouses were sacrificed, and the losses were very heavy.
The source is truly fraught with danger.
No matter how talented or powerful one is, there is a possibility of falling.
Because there are too many powerful creatures in the source land.
The overall strength of these creatures far exceeds that of humans on Earth, and they pose a threat to humans on Earth.
Now, the aliens from the Land of Silence and the alien plants from the Holy Land of Sun and Moon have completely occupied the dangerous areas of the city.
This means that the people in the city can no longer go out to gain experience, and the path to obtaining evolutionary resources is completely blocked.
If I can’t obtain evolutionary resources, what’s the point of me going to the source?
Or... apply to change the city?
However, if even City No. 1, the strongest city overall, was attacked, then the situation in the other cities would likely only get worse...
The more Lin Zichen thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Without sufficient evolutionary resource support, no matter how high your evolutionary talent is, it will be in vain and you will not be able to grow at all.
Shen Qinghan, who had just finished taking a shower, saw Lin Zichen looking worried, so she climbed onto the bed sensibly, hugged his neck and kissed him, and said softly:
"Want to relax for a moment?"
"Just lie down, I'll help you relax."
"It's comfortable."
She didn't know how to comfort the worried Lin Zichen with words, so she could only try to help him release the pressure in the most primitive way.
Lin Zichen didn't say anything, but lay down quietly and accepted Shen Qinghan's service.
They are an old married couple and have become accustomed to it.
There is no need to say too much when expressing gratitude, as it would seem too formal.
…
Half an hour later.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan left the dormitory with a refreshed look on their faces and walked towards the city gate.
He wanted to climb up the high wall and look at the dangerous area with the help of the [Eye in the Sky].
See what's going on there now.
soon.
The two men climbed up the high wall of the city gate.
Shen Qinghan did not have the [Eye in the Sky], and his vision could only clearly see a few thousand meters away. He could not see the situation in the dangerous area 50 miles away.
At this moment, he just stood quietly by the side, enjoying the breeze and accompanying Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen activated [Higher Spirit] as soon as he thought about it, increasing his mental strength to the highest level, and then activated [Eye of the Sky] in the same way, expanding his vision to the dangerous area 50 miles away.
Then, what came into view was a vast and shocking thorn forest.
These thorny bushes, like thick poisonous snakes, tightly wrapped around the towering trees that reach the sky, exuding a cold breath.
Just by looking at it from a distance, you can feel an invisible sense of oppression.
Expand your horizons further.
Through the dense branches and leaves.
Lin Zichen saw a large number of huge flower buds in the center of the thorn forest.
These giant flower buds stand alone on the ground like fungi and grow very densely.
The surface of the bud is covered with wriggling blood vessels, as if some terrifying creature is growing inside.
I observed like this for a few minutes.
Lin Zichen saw one of the flower buds slowly bloom, revealing a charming woman with a graceful figure and only a few leaves hanging on her body.
Immediately afterwards, a man surrounded by thick black aura entered the flower bud and entangled with the charming woman.
Lin Zichen wanted to see more.
Suddenly, the couple 50 miles away turned their heads and looked at him at the same time.
Before he could react, a sharp pain quickly swept through his eyes. The pain made him close his eyes with a hiss and tears came out.
In the previous moment, he felt that his eyes were illuminated by strong light, and now his vision was dark and he could not see anything.
"Linzi, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Zichen suddenly lower his head and rub his eyes, looking very uncomfortable, Shen Qinghan hurriedly expressed his concern.
At this moment, Lin Zichen's eyes were bleeding and burning with pain, but he kept shielding them with his hands to prevent Shen Qinghan from seeing them, and said calmly:
"It's okay, just take it easy."
He didn't lie, it really just takes a while.
Under the effect of [Quick Self-Healing].
His injured eyes quickly recovered and there was no trace of injury.
What happened just now?
How come my eyes hurt just by looking at each other?
This is a distance of 50 miles.
How did those two do it?
Lin Zichen was secretly shocked and felt a little scared for the first time.
There are too many powerful people in the source land, which makes him feel deeply that he is just an ant.
An insignificant ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
No, I must become stronger as soon as possible and gain enough strength to protect myself. I can't evolve slowly like before.
Lin Zichen thought silently in his heart.
…
In a dangerous area 50 miles outside the city.
The deepest part.
In a huge flower bud.
The Thorn Flower Fairy looked at the man on her body and asked in confusion, "What happened just now? That Earthling's mental strength is only at the rare level. How could he spy on us from a distance of 50 miles?"
"Also, when he looked at me, I felt like I was being stared at by a violent eagle."
"But I didn't detect the will of a violent eagle in his mental power."
"What on earth is going on?"
The more the Thorn Flower Fairy spoke, the more confused she became, feeling that this matter was beyond her comprehension.
The man with dark energy lingering around him also felt the same confusion.
He thought for a moment and said, "It must be with the help of some tools. Earthlings are the best at making all kinds of imaginative tools."
After hearing his analysis, the Thorn Fairy stopped dwelling on the matter and smiled, "That person is only a rare creature, yet he dared to spy on us, who are legendary. He must be blind now."
"Don't worry about that person, hurry up and let me enjoy the taste of the flower fairy." The man surrounded by black air urged.
He had long heard that the flower fairies in the Sun and Moon Holy Land were very beautiful, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to have some fun with them.
I finally have the chance today, and I must experience it.
The Thorn Flower Fairy pushed away the man's pressing body and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't forget what you promised to give me."
"Don't worry, I never break my promise."
The man lowered his body again, his voice tinged with despair, and said, "Don't worry, the things I promised to give you will naturally be delivered to you after we capture City No. 1."
"That's better."
After saying this, the thorn flower fairy quickly took off the leaves on her body and began to entangle with the man in the flower bud.
During this time, the Thorn Flower Fairy asked, "When can we launch a full-scale attack on City No. 1?"
"There's no rush," the man said. "What we need to do now is surround City No. 1, preventing the people inside from leaving and depleting their resources. When they're out of ammunition and food, we can then attack.
…
In a blink of an eye.
Several days passed.
In the past few days.
The alien plants in the dangerous area outside the city are constantly spreading and have entered the periphery of the stable area, posing a threat to City No. 1.
Regarding this matter, the city leaders hold meetings almost every day to discuss countermeasures.
This morning, in the conference room.
City Lord Qin Chuan looked around at everyone and said in a calm voice, "What do you all think about the Sun Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation's relentless pressure?"
Deputy City Lord Shangguan Yuehua said: "Let's observe first. We suffered heavy losses in the last battle and need some time to recover. It is not appropriate to engage in a major battle."
Bai Wubian, also the deputy city lord, immediately expressed his disapproval upon hearing this: "At this point, how can you call this observation? This is called sitting back and waiting for death!"
"If we leave it alone and allow the alien plants to spread, the forest on the right side of the city and the lake on the left will sooner or later be occupied by the Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation."
"Those two places are the main sources of daily resources for our city."
"Once it's captured, our city will be completely destroyed."
"We must take advantage of our home field and fight before the alien plants spread completely."
"Otherwise, once the city is overgrown with exotic plants, our chances of winning will only get worse."
Bai Wubian spoke with reason and evidence, convincing many people present.
In response, everyone expressed their support for this decision, saying one after another:
"City Lord Bai is right. We must take advantage of our home field advantage and go out to fight the invasion of the Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation. Otherwise, we will just sit there and wait for death."
"I also support Lord Bai's point of view."
"City Lord Shangguan, you are too conservative and can't quite see the current situation clearly."
“…”
The people who were the first to speak out in support were all Bai Wubian’s confidants.
While supporting him, he also did not forget to belittle Shangguan Yuehua a few times to reduce his credibility in the minds of other leaders.
Qin Chuan will not be the city lord for more than a few years and will soon be transferred to a higher position.
At that time, the position of No. 1 City Lord will be competed for by Shangguan Yuehua and Bai Wubian.
The former represents conservatives.
The latter represent the radicals.
Under the attack of Bai Wubian's camp, Shangguan Yuehua's people also fought back one after another:
"You still have the nerve to say that City Lord Shangguan is conservative. If we had been more conservative last time and not blindly started a war, would our losses have been so heavy?"
"Indeed, being too aggressive without any preparation will only make the situation more serious."
"City Lord Bai, I don't think it's appropriate to start a major war now."
“…”
After Shangguan Yuehua's camp counterattacked, Bai Wubian's camp immediately counterattacked:
"That's not true. If we had chosen to avoid the battle last time, the area that would have been occupied wouldn't just be the dangerous area 50 miles away. The stable area outside the city gate might have been occupied as well."
"That's right, to put it nicely, it's conservative, to put it bluntly, it's cowardly."
"Since we are in the source land, we should be prepared to die in battle one day. How can we cower and beg for survival?"
“…”
"Who are you calling a coward? Who are you calling a shrink? Master Chen, please explain yourself clearly!"
"What's there to say to these reckless men?"
"City Lord, what do you think about this?"
“…”
After a heated debate, both camps finally threw the issue back to Qin Chuan, the city lord.
Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, and finally, under the gaze of everyone, he slowly said:
"Everyone, get ready. In three days, we will leave the city to fight the troops stationed outside from the Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation. We must defend the stable area to the death."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two camps present were clearly divided.
Everyone in Bai Wubian's camp had happy expressions on their faces, as they had already seen Bai Wubian's bright future as the city lord.
The situation on Shangguan Yuehua's side was completely different. Everyone had a cold face and was dissatisfied with Qin Chuan's decision, but they did not dare to speak out against it.
In the city, the city lord has the final say.
No one could refute the city lord's words.
Unless you don't want to mix it anymore.
Qin Chuan glanced at the people from the two camps and sighed deeply in his heart.
It's already this late, and these people are still thinking about fighting for the position of city lord.
The Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation joined forces to attack. This was the biggest crisis City No. 1 had encountered since its establishment.
When the war is about to break out, it is hard to say how many people will survive.
The position of city lord?
Haha, this may have to be argued for down there.
…
That afternoon.
The decision Qin Chuan made at the meeting announced to the entire city that they would leave the city to fight in three days.
After learning the news.
Some people in the city shouted in frustration, saying that they wanted to avenge their dead brothers and send the enemies of the Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation down.
On the other hand, some people showed fear and did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
Not everyone is not afraid of death.
Many people have a great fear of death.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
…
An empty lot in the city.
Lan Tianbai called all 28 extraordinary geniuses in the team to a meeting.
Originally there were 30 extraordinary geniuses, but two of them died in the last war, namely Nangong Liuyun and Qian Yifei.
Lin Zichen observed everyone's expressions and found that they were all calm, without a trace of sadness.
It seems that the death of companions is commonplace.
It seems that many people died in the team before...
Lin Zichen murmured in his heart.
He had a premonition that in the battle three days later, more people in the team would die, far more than two.
But he didn't care, as long as Shen Qinghan was fine.
His mission in the war was to kill as many enemies as possible to obtain evolutionary resources and improve his own strength while ensuring the safety of himself and Shen Qinghan.
"In three days, we will leave the city and engage in a major battle with the enemies from the Sun and Moon Holy Land and the Land of Annihilation. I'm sure everyone knows this."
Lan Tianbai looked at the people in front of him and said in a particularly loud voice: "This war is extremely dangerous. Many people are bound to be sacrificed. Even we can't avoid it."
"But fortunately, once the battle begins, the city leaders will try their best to send away the enemy's strongmen. By then, the enemies you will face will mostly be high-level creatures, with a few being rare-level creatures."
“Relatively speaking, it’s still relatively safe.”
"Everyone must cherish this great battle and take advantage of this opportunity to kill more enemies, obtain more resources, and improve your own strength."
"That's all I have to say. Everyone go back and have a good rest."
After saying this, Lan Tianbai looked at Lin Zichen who was standing behind him and said, "Zichen, please stay for a while. I need to talk to you alone."
