Ch 158: Rushing to the City shrouded in Black Qi
Jiang Zhilan saw the message sent by Meng Haonian and was very anxious, because she found that she couldn’t contact Ji Chuan anymore. Could it be as they had speculated, that Ji Chuan was currently asleep?
The current situation is extremely critical. Although she initially submitted to Ji Chuan not of her own free will, under Ji Chuan’s rule, the survivors in Jianghua City did indeed live much better lives than before.
She hurried to Aolijiaer, informing the people at the stronghold of this news. Jianghua City Ability User Base no longer had any experts; they could only rely on the stronghold’s people to protect Ji Chuan.
She didn’t think Ji Chuan was a threat to humanity. On the contrary, Ji Chuan gave them a better life. He couldn’t have an accident. Right now, other city Ability User Bases were probably already taking action.
Fu Chengyu was also very anxious. He instructed Jiang Zhilan to quickly notify the people at the stronghold and also urgently organized a team, planning to go to Changrong City, which was shrouded in black Qi, to provide support.
“What to do…” Although the team was already assembled, this action would undoubtedly make them traitors to humanity. Fu Chengyu paced back and forth in the room, as if making up his mind.
“As long as you don’t show your face, there are many teams from other cities providing support. They won’t be able to distinguish us! We can wear masks!”
Someone below reminded Fu Chengyu, saying that the peace of Xinze City was brought by Ji Chuan. If something happened to Ji Chuan, they would similarly have to return to the days of fighting for survival.
Fu Chengyu knew that although team members could conceal their faces, in front of various ability users, this method was not clever; it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
“Full deployment to Changrong City! Rescue the Leader!”
Fu Chengyu still made up his mind. Saving Ji Chuan meant saving all the survivors of Xinze City, and Chu Tiankuo had privately talked to him about the Gate of Unusual Activity in order to take away the God of Faith.
Ji Chuan is the hope for saving humanity. Even if he is the one who massacred the city, as his subordinate, they must loyally support him. There will always be sacrifices in saving the world. As a former Ability User Base Leader, he understood this very well.
Su Shen urgently summoned the people of the stronghold for a meeting, because he also discovered that Ji Chuan could no longer be contacted. Jiang Zhilan’s message made him even more anxious.
Wang Wei has been serving as the driver, taking Luo Jiayou on a national tour. Currently, the plane is stopped in Shannan City, which is far from Changrong City.
“Mao Jun, quickly take the helicopter to Changrong City! Wait until you get there, then Jiayou will bring the main force over!”
“Yes, sir!”
Unexpectedly, his skills came in handy so quickly. Mao Jun immediately got up.
“The Leader’s sleep this time is extremely critical. Ability User Bases across the country are organizing attack teams. We must arrive before them. All fighting forces, depart!”
Su Shen understood the urgency of the situation. He had to fight to the death. He couldn’t watch Ji Chuan have an accident.
Shen Mengting’s expression was excited, “Let me test the mettle of the ability users from other cities.” She had another chance to flex her muscles. She still hadn’t had enough from the last time she fought against the Jianghua City Ability User Base.
She thought she was already a top-tier combat force, at least among those she had fought against. The only time she had failed was against Ji Chuan. She didn’t take anyone else seriously.
Pei Wendong, Geng Mao, Jiang Yi, Fan Jiahao, and Qiu Xinshi were also eager to try, but Su Shen stopped them.
“I can’t watch you die in vain. This isn’t training; it’s real combat against the strongest from across the country!”
The combat team was finally formed by Shen Mengting, Xia Yiqing, Song Ci, Gu Yunxi, Luo Jiayou, Luo Jiayi, Wu Qian, Sun Tao, Cui Zixuan, as well as Xiao Shuai, Xiao Mei, and Da Zhuang.
“Count me in. I’m revealing my hand. I have a Monochrome Crystal Core with a higher level than yours. Although I can’t fight directly, my luck will protect everyone.”
Xia Yida raised a confident smile. This was a rare occasion for her to wear sportswear. She usually wore high-fashion designer clothing, and walking with large strides was difficult.
The current Xia Yida was clean and capable, her hair tied up. To protect A Chuan, she had to contribute her strength.
“I’m also going to protect Brother Ji Chuan!”
“Xiao Xuan…”
Zhang Yun looked worriedly at Xiao Xuan.
“Mom, Xiao Xuan has grown up. Brother Ji Chuan has protected Xiao Xuan and Mom for so long. This time, Xiao Xuan will protect Brother Ji Chuan.”
Zhou Mi, dragging his weak body, came out, his gaze resolute, “Everyone go. If something unexpected happens, I will reverse time through Sleep Retrospection.”
…
Chu Tiankuo looked at Leng Yue’s corpse at the Gate of Unusual Activity, his face grim. Leng Yue was dead, and the God of Faith had disappeared.
What exactly happened in front of the gate?
Today, Number 1 slaughtered three cities and fell into a coma. Could there be a connection between these events?
The God of Faith took all of humanity as the object of his protection. Did he leave to provide support after noticing Number 1’s actions?
Although there is no clear evidence, Chu Tiankuo has an intuition that the disappearance of the God of Faith is definitely related to Number 1.
The God of Faith is the hope of all humanity. He cannot die. If the God of Faith is trapped by Number 1, he must rescue him.
Chu Tiankuo never doubted the God of Faith, because he lit up the Oracle Star Disk. He was the hero chosen by prophecy. As the core of the Star Disk, the person who can directly determine the abilities of candidates, he cannot die.
Chu Tiankuo’s hands were clenched tightly.
“All Combat Team Captains of Shannan City, depart for Changrong City! Eliminate Number 1! Find the God of Faith!”
His tone was high-pitched and angry. The glimmer of hope he had just seen could not be extinguished by the damned zombies. The God of Faith, who worked tirelessly for humanity, must live.
He bet the entire city. Currently, the peace of Shannan City was bestowed by the God of Faith. The city was no longer in danger. Now was the time for Shannan City to repay the God of Faith.
Except for Number 1, no one can trap the God of Faith.
Other city Ability User Bases were also providing assistance as much as possible, but their cities still had zombies, and they needed to leave behind a group of fighters to maintain the normal development of the city.
But Number 1, as the world’s top enemy, must be given a fatal blow while he is asleep to eliminate future threats.
The various bases reached a consensus. They all stated that the teams would determine their personnel and depart within two days. Due to the varying distances of each city from Changrong City, they would arrive successively.
Until an ability user can completely eliminate the sleeping Number 1.
Mao Jun was rushing to his destination as quickly as possible. Although he only met the Leader once, he felt that the Leader understood him very well. He didn’t want to lose him so soon after just joining Paradise Stronghold.
To make the members of the stronghold more accepting of him, he must demonstrate his worth this time.
Xiao Mei beat him severely every day, but he found that after his wounds healed, he became even stronger.
The injury, from the initial pain, evolved into a kind of enjoyment. Every time his skin was torn open, it strongly stimulated his brain, and his body seemed to be infused with a continuous stream of warmth, making him feel so pleasant.
He even felt that he could go for days and nights without rest. He was full of energy.
In the distance, the black energy in the sky reached the clouds. Changrong City seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Mao Jun knew that his mission was almost complete.
The helicopter gradually tilted, and he felt the fluctuation of the black energy from afar, but Mao Jun gripped the control stick even harder.
“Master, we will soon meet.”
