Chapter 310 Cliff
Hungry roars, pure slaughter... When the news came that a hole had been breached in the western city wall, a huge roar flashed through Yan Shuzhou's mind, and all the sounds seemed to be covered by a layer of plastic wrap, becoming indistinct.
He looked down and saw that the entire Moon City was completely enveloped by the black tide, with countless monsters stretching as far as the eye could see.
A zombie apocalypse is nothing special.
Looking further west, the breach resembled an exploding water balloon, with black waves surging into the city from the gap, smashing all the buildings to pieces, and people screaming and fleeing for their lives in the streets.
"Why……"
Why couldn't we stop them?
His hands gripped the city wall tightly, so hard that his fingertips bled.
He lowered his head and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
In the dark realm, the colossal creature let out a disdainful breath.
Another failure.
Why, why! He's clearly an S-class ability user, so why can't he summon his ultimate power?! He's already reached the required level! Why are you saying he's not qualified?!
If that's the case... then... how can he complete the task his sister gave him?
A deep sense of guilt gripped his heart. Yan Shuzhou's gaze drifted as he stared down at the blood splattering on the ground, leaving behind arcs that resembled bright red flowers blooming under the moonlight.
"A small boat."
Yan Shuzhou's eyelashes trembled, and the cliff from a few days ago appeared in the pool of blood as if reflected in a mirror.
Under the docile moonlight, Miao Yin hooked her little finger around his, the soft light reflected in her eyes as dreamlike as the Garden of Eden.
"Let me tell you why, or rather, my murder plan," she said with a smile.
Lies spanning two massive bases, the opening of weapons depots, the crimson catastrophe fused with nuclear energy...
Yan Shuzhou is the only person in the world, besides Miao Yin, who knows the future.
The Crimson Catastrophe, possessing special abilities, will attract mutants from across the country to feed on. Once it devours the Black Tide, it will become the most powerful mutant in the world.
The so-called Crimson Plague Leader is not simply more powerful than other Crimson Plagues.
Its power is such that the other nine combined can only rival it. Once it reaches that level, there will be no one in the world that can rival it.
If they cannot stop the Black Tide, then Miao Yin and her group will surely die in the armory.
Miao Yin lied. The armory would not open on this day at all. She broke the armory's tranquility ahead of time in order to prevent the divine punishment from evolving unchecked inside. The so-called prophecy coming true was nothing more than something she created artificially.
Of course, all of this was in line with the military's analysis of her behavior of hoarding goods before the apocalypse. In a sense, she was going with the flow.
With this premise in mind, she began to create illusions and fabricate prophecies, threatening the lives of everyone in the city to lure the two major bases into joining her and helping her resist the Black Tide.
She used their people to open the armory door ahead of time, allowing that part of the army to guard the edge of the armory and prevent scattered mutants from joining the main battlefield. At the same time, she also did the military a favor by helping them obtain the data.
However, simply getting the two bases involved is not enough.
Miao Yin had personally witnessed the devastation caused by the Black Tide back then. Dream City had a strong military and many people with superpowers, so they might be able to stop the Black Tide.
But Moon City cannot.
Moon City was already weak, and even with the support of Dream City, it might not be able to hold out.
"So Xiaozhou, I need you."
Miao Yin stroked his head and told him that the black tide created by the divine punishment would be divided into two waves due to the limitations of the terrain.
One wave is twice the size of the other. This massive black tide comes from the south and travels straight to the armory. It will flatten the only city on this route and then head straight for the armory, arriving there first.
Another, slightly smaller wave converged from the southeast, passing through Dream City at the corner, and took a rugged mountain road to the armory.
In other words, the Black Tide will not attack Dream City; at most, it will only destroy part of the city walls as it passes by. As long as Miao Yin cannot let them discover this, otherwise her lie will be exposed, and Dream City will not do its best to fight back in order to reduce casualties.
Fortunately, Divine Retribution is not the only mutant species with the ability to lead the Black Tide.
"I will leave Dream City to Gong Jingming. I will have him use Spider-Man to disrupt the Black Tide's movement and make it attack Dream City, forcing them to intervene and help me stop it. As for Moon City..."
"—I'll leave it to you."
When Yan Shuzhou evolves to S-rank, it means that the limit he can summon will definitely exceed S-rank, that is, the level of Crimson Catastrophe.
"I once saw in a prophecy how a superpowered individual who summoned the ultimate power would destroy the Black Tide. Xiao Zhou, you are the most powerful summoner I have ever seen. You can definitely do it too."
"You said you would strive to grow up and become my sword and my spear, protecting me forever. I believe you."
"I will only tell you this, Xiaozhou. You are the only person I can trust. I only believe in you. Only you can do this."
Wildflowers bloom on the cliff edge, their sweet fragrance filling the meadows, enticing prey to ignore their thorns and poisonous cores, stumbling and embracing them until they are pierced and bleeding, yet they still refuse to let go.
The black-haired woman reached out her hand to him, her compassionate face shimmering in the moonlight.
"Come be my accomplice, my executioner, together."
"Murder will be punished by God."
"Bang!" Another section of the city wall was breached, and a mutant resembling a jackal leaped onto the wall and began fighting with the people on it.
A dozen or so people with superpowers surrounded it, preventing it from going down.
Yan Shuzhou turned his head and looked past the deformed people, and saw the tall building behind him. In that direction was the Moon City Police Station.
"Sister, is there anything on this?"
"A crystal core."
Yan Shuzhou stood up and stared straight in that direction.
If he can absorb all the crystal nuclei there, then wouldn't he be qualified?
He turned and jumped off the city wall, landing on the leopard, and ran towards the police station.
All his summoned creatures were left at the front lines to resist the Black Tide, and this Nether Panther was the only one he could summon to his side at the moment.
The streets have been overrun by the surging black tide; mutants are trampling houses in their search for food.
Fortunately, Hu Hai had taken precautions and moved the civilian area back three streets and concentrated it near the back mountain. Now only the guards are here.
They fought with the mutants inside the city, preventing them from entering.
Yan Shuzhou, who was heading to the police station, obviously became their target as well.
He was surrounded and attacked as soon as he ran out of the street.
"hateful."
There is no time.
Yan Shuzhou gritted his teeth and jumped off the leopard, directing the Nether Leopard and the mutants to fight, while he took advantage of the chaos to escape through a gap.
One Moonwalker immediately disappeared from the front line, appearing beside the Summoner to continue escorting him.
But the same thing happened again soon afterward; there were too many mutants in the city.
The summoner, who was not skilled in physical combat, was quickly injured and surrounded by hungry monsters.
Yan Shuzhou pondered the current situation with a cold expression. If he wanted to break the deadlock on his own, he could only call back all the summoned creatures from the front lines.
But this will certainly make things even more difficult for the already precarious front lines.
A loud roar suddenly came from behind. Yan Shuzhou covered his ears and looked back.
Under the overwhelming shadow, his breath caught in his throat, and a chill ran through his body.
—It is a stone man.
At some unknown time, this enormous monster broke through the city walls and rushed into the city, chasing after the summoner, all to take revenge on the superpowered individual who had harmed it.
It clutched a dead Moon-Treading Pig in its hand, its bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Yan Shuzhou.
A portion of the guards also followed the stone man in, and the three parties met.
"We can't let it pass!" the guards shouted, aiming their pistols at the stone figure and firing.
A single pink crystal core-level monster is enough to destroy most of Moon City.
In the blink of an eye, the powerful mutants attacked.
Yan Shuzhou formed an array in his palm, forced to summon back a batch of summoned creatures from the front lines, and engaged them in fierce combat.
A fierce battle raged in the streets, and Tang Shi watched anxiously from beneath the theater walls.
"What do we do? That's a civilian area!"
Once the guards can't stop the Black Tide, they'll charge in.
The metal railing suddenly flashed with light.
Tang Shi turned his head and saw the staircase leading from the theater to the rooftop.
Her hand unconsciously reached for the suona at her waist, and in the blink of an eye, she made a decision.
