Lin Jingting said, "I am your disciple, and I can't let you face the upcoming situation alone."
Chu Nian felt that Lin Jingting was really overthinking things.
Even though this monster tide was exceptionally large, reaching an unprecedented level, especially with the three strongest ones standing dozens of stories high and possessing terrifying combat power capable of instantly killing many generals, the military's monitoring equipment was still able to detect some clues in advance.
So she wasn't facing it alone.
Just as the celebration was reaching its climax, many soldiers on leave received a notification and were ordered to arrive at the military headquarters within three minutes to stand by.
Seven or eight minutes later, Chu Nian and Lin Jingting stood high in the sky and saw countless superhumans who had been assigned to several high walls at the edge of the sky, waiting attentively.
Lin Jingting couldn't help but sneer, "With this kind of setup, you think you can take on those brainless idiots who only know how to fight?"
Chu Nian said helplessly, "It seems that the current human configuration can only reach this standard." The general-level officers have already come out and are standing on the last and highest protective wall, which shows that the military high command already knows something about what is about to happen.
But the celebration continued. The higher-ups' attitude was clear: they wanted these ordinary people to have a proper celebration and hoped to keep the monsters completely out.
Their thinking is quite naive. It's likely that although the military high command has noticed the monster tide is coming, they don't have a clear understanding of its scale.
Lin Jingting: "I think they need to learn a lesson for their attitude towards things."
Chu Nian said quietly, "What's the difference between us and them?"
Lin Jingting was speechless for a moment.
Chu Nian said, "The only difference between us and them is that we have lived longer and experienced more eras, so we have more knowledge."
Lin Jingting: "Isn't it a bit late for you to start lecturing me on this now?"
Chu Nian sighed: Indeed, she also felt it was a bit too late. Perhaps it's more effective to instill values and morals when people are minors!
However, neither Yilin Zhao nor Li Jueyin seem like the type to let Lin Jingting's personality go astray.
So, it's really not her place to lecture.
Furthermore, Lin Jingting is a very opinionated person, and saying too much might backfire.
Thinking about it this way, Chu Nian simply shut her mouth.
On the high wall below, many people with superpowers realized that today's setup was not right.
Old Li, quite shocked, said to Jing Yue beside him, "Captain Jing, look, all the old Ks have made their move."
Everyone turned around and looked towards the last, tallest wall. The five K's had already taken their places.
Behind them, the president delivered a celebratory speech, then announced the end of the celebrations and ordered everyone to take cover in the tunnels. Only then did everyone realize that another monster horde was approaching.
Two hundred years have passed, and humanity has become familiar with this situation, entering the tunnels in an orderly fashion. Although they are ordinary people, everyone knows that this is for their lives, so they move very quickly and strictly follow the soldiers' orders: once inside the tunnel, go as deep as you can, and never come out without prior notice.
The Peng brothers searched around but couldn't find Chu Nian. Peng Jian then deliberately said loudly, "Peng Kang, have you seen Nian Nian? I heard that she was recently transferred to the Special Operations Department and became a new senior officer."
Peng Kang said, "Brother, are you crazy? Niannian just graduated six months ago, just like us, and is still a new employee. How could she possibly become Old K?"
Qi Meili rolled her eyes as she listened to their pretentious conversation, wondering if they were saying these things to others or to themselves.
Jing Yue had actually searched the area, especially among the few high-ranking members of the Special Forces, but Chu Nian was nowhere to be found. She wondered if the news of Chu Nian's transfer to the Special Forces was false.
However, Chu Nian has indeed been transferred out of the Exploration Department, and she's no longer even a clerk there. That much is certain. So, where is she now? Which department has she been transferred to?
Thinking of this, Jingyue recalled the male protagonist Han Chao, and the boy whom Han Chao respectfully called "Master" and who seemed to have known Chu Nian for a long time.
A rumbling sound arose as countless monsters began to approach the sky from different directions. Judging from the sound, they were still quite far from the sky, but the roars of the monsters were already earth-shattering.
Most terrifyingly, everyone saw a massive mushroom cloud rising high in the distance, rapidly spreading towards the heavens. It was impossible to imagine how many monsters must be breathing down it to create such a massive spectacle.
A mushroom cloud of this strength can directly devour and merge the supernatural abilities below level eight into its own.
Therefore, everyone present was deeply moved.
The strongest superhumans are only level twelve. People like Old K, who guard the last line of defense, the president's famous bodyguards, and the generals in the military who hold sinecure positions without real authority are all level twelve.
Level eight is no longer considered weak among ability users; rather, it's considered upper-middle level. Jing Yue, for example, is only level nine, which might be a bottleneck. She's been stuck at level nine for three years and hasn't been able to break through to level ten yet.
Based on the level of the superpowered individuals, people also categorized monsters in the same way. The giant lizard that Chu Nian encountered when she first transmigrated was level ten.
However, the higher the level of one's superpower, the more difficult it becomes to upgrade. Jing Yue, who has remained at level nine for more than three years, is not considered to have stayed for a long time. Some people stay at level nine for decades before they can break through.
Chu Nian's knowledge of the levels of superhumans all came from the original owner's memories. She had no interest in studying these things. However, she had already discovered the giant that was dozens of stories tall; it was one of the three top monsters in this monster tide, and it had already exceeded level twelve.
The appearance of a monster above level twelve in the story seems to be a one-time occurrence. This suggests that it's difficult for superhumans to break through level twelve, and monsters likely face similar difficulties. In fact, monsters level up through fusion, which appears to be much easier than the arduous training required for superhumans.
However, to successfully absorb other monsters and fuse to reach level twelve, the monster itself needs certain inherent qualities and a bit of luck. Therefore, level twelve monsters are already few and far between, let alone those exceeding level twelve.
Unfortunately, all three level 12 or higher monsters had gathered.
Chu Nian found this matter rather intriguing. Thinking about these three enormous monsters, she began to wonder if the area where they appeared contained high levels of nuclear energy.
