At this moment, all the outsiders were forced forward by the water, heading in a direction completely different from the water flow, all the way uphill.
The flow of people moved upwards, eventually converging at the city wall in the eastern part of Zhongzhou.
Those who chose to stop were ultimately drowned alive in the water.
Those outside the city walls were now blocked from moving forward, as if their path to survival had been cut off.
It's like being trapped on a shrinking island, desperately pleading.
"Please, please let me in!"
"I won't go in, let my child go in!"
"Open the door! Doesn't Zhongzhou claim to be a sanctuary? Are you just going to stand by and watch us die?"

Once a desperate crowd unites to attack the defensive line in order to survive, the battle will only result in more meaningless casualties.
Moreover, there are quite a few awakened individuals among the crowd.
