CHAPTER 2005: CHAPTER 1998: THE LAST FAREWELL WITH FAMILY

Looking at the pilot who attacked Chen Chaoyang, Chi Biyi was utterly furious, not knowing how many times he cursed that guy’s mother in his heart in an instant!

He couldn’t believe there were people so stubbornly reckless in the world, thinking that they could face a Level 9 being just because they managed to kill a few Level 8 zombies?

But now he couldn’t bother with that; he shouted into the communicator for everyone to evacuate quickly. The mech pilots who remained calm on the battlefield soon accelerated their retreat, leaping over the anti-zombie wall one by one, sprinting wildly northward.

As for their retreat, Chen Chaoyang did not stop them, or rather, he simply ignored them. However, the pilot who operated the mech and attacked him was not so lucky. The massive mech body drew a trail of dark green shadow through the air, smashing down hard towards him!

Crash!

After the huge noise, a cloud of dust was raised. Inside the mech, the devices operated at high speed, producing an annoying noise. Still on the anti-zombie wall, Chi Biyi looked down; amidst the dust, the Endless Journey mech stood up, its head bowed as if looking for something. But Chen Chaoyang, who should have been under its feet, had somehow vanished!

The pilot inside was shocked. After binding his consciousness with the mech, his senses were geometrically enhanced! Thus he faintly sensed something, but by the time Chi Biyi located Chen Chaoyang’s figure, the mech had already turned its body around. However, by then, it was all too late!

A tentacle struck the mech’s chest with a loud boom, flames erupting from it!

Crunching sounds~

The terrifying tentacle squeezed the internal structure of the mech, producing an ominous sound. Before Chi Biyi could react, there was another "bang," as the tentacle forcibly pierced through the mech’s chest and emerged straight out from the back, with a person impaled at its tip!

This person was the pilot inside the mech! Chi Biyi watched helplessly as he was driven into the ground, his body shattering into a heap of flesh!

Without a pilot, the dark green light on the Endless Journey mech quickly dimmed and soon crashed to the ground!

Just like that, one Endless Journey mech was scrapped, and Chen Chaoyang, who caused it all, seemed to barely exert any effort.

Chi Biyi stood there dumbfounded. He knew that confronting a Level 9 being with the Endless Journey mech was purely a pipe dream, but he didn’t expect Chen Chaoyang to destroy it so effortlessly!

That’s seventy thousand Yajin!

Is this... the power of a Level 9 being?

Ants are just ants, no matter how many tricks they have, they remain ants!

Worriedly, he looked towards the City Government on the Sky Continent, where Su Sigui was already preparing to deal with Zombie King Camutos. But before she even began, Chen Chaoyang, this Level 9 Rester, appeared. He didn’t know how Su Sigui would face what’s coming, and as for himself, all he felt was a deep sense of powerlessness.

God, please save humanity!

He seemed to understand why there are theists in this world because the existence of "God" can comfort oneself, give a target to lean on, even if it’s ethereal...

Regaining his senses, Chi Biyi quickly jumped off the anti-zombie wall, swiftly distancing himself from there, leaving the anti-zombie wall empty, with nothing to stop the zombie horde!

Chen Chaoyang noticed Chi Biyi leaving, and though the distance was quite far, had he wanted to detain Chi Biyi, not even ten legs would let him escape from his grasp!

He let him go, not out of kindness, but because those ants weren’t his target. His target was Su Sigui, the only Level 9 New Human!

This could be one of his few curiosities.

He wanted to know how powerful that woman was?

And then kill her in passing.

...

All the way to the evacuation point, Chi Biyi finally stopped. He looked back, and upon confirming that Chen Chaoyang was not pursuing him, his brows furrowed. After staying there for a while, he got onto a transport truck and pulled out the communicator to contact Su Sigui.

Soon, a voice came from the other side, and Chi Biyi promptly said: "Mayor, there is a major problem, an extremely bad piece of news."

The person on the other end of the communicator was silent for a moment, then quickly responded with three short words from Su Sigui.

"What is it."

"Hatred has appeared."

"Understood."

Su Sigui’s tone didn’t change, and after speaking, she directly disconnected the call with Chi Biyi.

In just a few seconds, his mind hadn’t even caught up. Holding the communicator, he stood in a daze for a while longer, now even more unable to understand Su Sigui.

Her tone seemed completely unconcerned with the Level 9 Rester Hatred, and the bad news he delivered appeared to be a trivial matter.

Taking a deep breath, he stopped pondering these matters, as the urgent task at hand was to evacuate northward as fast as possible.

But just as he clipped the communicator to his waist, a vibration sensation came again.

Instinctively assuming it was Su Sigui with some idea needing his assistance, he picked up the communicator, but it wasn’t her. It was a call request from Nangong Mingwen.

"What’s the matter?"

"The squad you assigned to me has been completely wiped out."

"The missile squad?"

"Yes."

"What do you mean, you’re bothering me with this trivial matter?"

"No, they brought a final message before they died."

"What is it?"

"They discovered the next generation royal zombie of the Extreme North Zombie King, less than forty kilometers from us."

"..."

"Chi Biyi? Chi Biyi! Hello? What’s happening where you are, speak!"

The news from the other side left Chi Biyi, who was already frustrated, suddenly silent, as if his brain had just shut down. He didn’t respond for a long time, and when he finally did, he emotionlessly said through the communicator: "I’m fine, that’s it, disconnecting now."

After speaking, he directly severed the communication channel with Nangong Mingwen, staring blankly outside.

The next generation royal zombie of the Extreme North Zombie King is less than forty kilometers away from them...

At first hearing this sentence may not seem significant, but upon careful thought, even the next generation zombies are so close to Cloud Gorge Base, where would the Zombie King be?

There’s no reason for it to be slower than its next-generation followers!

Thinking these things, he gradually formed a very bad hypothesis in his heart!

Scanning the soldiers in front of him, their faces were so clear that he found it hard to look at them directly.

At this moment, a sergeant approached him, reporting: "Sir, everyone is assembled and ready to retreat at any time!"

Chi Biyi glanced at him but didn’t issue the retreat order. Instead, he asked him: "What time is it now?"

The sergeant was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his watch and answered as he raised his head: "It’s four twenty-four."

"Four twenty-four..." he murmured, ignoring the sergeant beside him, lifting the communicator and switching to the public channel, announcing to everyone: "Folks, we’re not heading north; while there’s still time, let’s go to the Dried Leaves Sanctuary, to see your family for the last time."
