"So... we're just going to leave like this? Without a celestial being to replenish the protective shield, the blockade point won't hold, and the entire Zero Floor will fall! Aren't you afraid..." Wang Yao asked again, frowning.
"I'm not afraid." Qin Su shook her head and smiled slightly. "It's better that this cannibalistic world has fallen sooner rather than later. I hope that the underworld will stop eating people in the future."
“Uh…” Wang Yao was not as resolute as Qin Su. He really couldn’t give up on those ghosts he had developed feelings for. He was about to say something more to Qin Su when suddenly he heard a piercing alarm sound from the ceiling above his head.
"Attention all ghosts on floor zero! Attention all ghosts on floor zero! Important announcement coming now! Important announcement coming now! This announcement is being broadcast using the floor's emergency broadcast system!"
After the alarm stopped, a serious female voice came out. She kept repeating every word she said, sounding very solemn.
“This is…” Wang Yao looked at Qin Su in astonishment. Qin Su also shook her head blankly, staring at the ceiling and listening attentively to the contents of the emergency broadcast.
"Due to unknown reasons, this floor has been invaded by corpse energy. Based on the decision of the Zero Floor Management Committee, this floor is now under a state of emergency..."
"Each Dao Master and Office Director shall organize all ghost members, ghost warriors, and ghost talents of their respective Dao and office to assemble at the outer perimeter of the Western Fifth Underworld District... The Wuchang Dao shall organize all ghosts on its floor to assemble at the outer perimeter of the Western Fifth Underworld District by industry..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao's expression changed. What was wrong with the Underworld? Knowing full well that even the Ghost King couldn't resist the corpse energy, why were they sending all the ghosts here? Had some immortal descended from above?
You must know that this zeroth floor is responsible for the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms. How many beings are there in the human realm alone? Even if all beings were to have a birth rate of 4%, the number of ghosts waiting to be reincarnated in the human realm alone would probably be in the hundreds of millions.
There are also newly reincarnated ghosts from all walks of life, as well as lesser ghosts, ghosts queuing up for reincarnation quotas, and ghosts that haven't yet met the conditions for reincarnation... If all of these are multiplied by five, it's not an exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of billions or even trillions of ghosts on floor zero.
Even if the immortals' spiritual power is as vast as the ocean, it still takes time to add protective shields to each one. Unless a large force is sent from the immortal realm, how can so many ghosts be protected?
The underworld is sending all these ghosts to the front lines. This is basically driving everyone to suicide. Is it trying to completely destroy Floor Zero or something? Wang Yao and Qin Su exchanged a glance. Although Qin Su had just said that it didn't matter if this cannibalistic world fell into chaos, her face turned pale at this moment.
The number of ghost lives involved was so great that it was terrifying. It was unrealistic for the celestial realm to send a large number of immortals over in such a short time. The two of them had no idea what tricks the underworld was up to. They looked at each other with astonishment on their faces and rushed toward the blockade together.
Before they even saw the blockade, they could already hear the shrill ringing of the telephone. Then, Wang Yao saw the ghosts at the blockade in the distance, darting around in the corridor like they were doing a folk dance. Although they didn't retreat much, the blockade formation was completely scattered.
Without saying a word, he quickly added a protective shield to Qin Su. If the team at the blockade point was in disarray, corpse energy would inevitably flow in, so it was better to be safe.
Rushing closer, he didn't see Guqi or King Pingdeng, but he did discover why the ghosts were running around there in strange postures.
They were all avoiding the Minions. Wang Yao saw only three or five of these cartoon characters in front of him, jumping around and looking quite cute, but the ghosts avoided them like the plague.
Only Wuying fared slightly better, but he too dared not face the Minions' pincer attack and had to constantly dodge and weave, so his situation wasn't much better than the other ghosts.
"What the hell is this thing?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"Lord of the Moon, quickly replenish the protective shield! The deadline is almost here!" Wu Ying, whose face had already turned pale, saw Wang Yao as a savior and hurriedly shouted.
"Uh..." Wang Yao waved his hand to replenish the protective shields for all the ghosts on the scene, and was about to answer the phone when the phone, which seemed to never stop ringing, suddenly stopped. He stopped and turned to ask Wuying what had happened.
"This is a high-level corpse puppet, made from corpse energy. It is most capable of destroying protective shields and can only be worn down by soul power. However, the ghost members have not yet generated soul power in their bodies. Although we ghost warriors have soul power, the amount is too small to effectively kill it." Wuying said to Wang Yao while dodging the little yellow men.
As they were talking, a little Minion suddenly jumped into Wang Yao's arms, startling him. Touching it, he felt that the little Minion's body was soft and elastic, similar to the feel of a QQ candy. It seemed as if he could squeeze it out of shape with a little force.
Hearing that the Minions were made from corpse energy, he had a sudden inspiration and casually put a "glass" on the Minion as well. As soon as the shield was on, the Minion immediately froze and stood still, with black smoke billowing out from its body, like a smoke-filled chimney standing on the floor of a stairwell.
Wang Yao was overjoyed to see that it worked, and he used the "Glass" in his hand one after another. Before long, all the little yellow men turned into chimneys. The ghosts at the blockade breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground to take out their food to replenish their strength.
"Where did Guqi and King Pingdeng go?" Wang Yao asked Wuying.
"His Highness said there was an incident upstairs and he went back upstairs. Lord Gu went to arrange for the floor to enter a state of emergency as instructed by His Highness," Wuying replied.
