During the final three days, Meng Chao strengthened his current skills slightly and exchanged for an Initial Stage Healing Skill. Once he healed all his hidden injuries, he did not activate any new skills.
Current Contribution Points: 7,523
It was an unprecedented amount of money.
He thought about it and decided that he shouldn't spend all his contribution points every time he got them. With money in hand, there was no need to panic.
It was on this day that Dragon City encountered another fog descent. It was the largest one in the past ten years, and it was also the one that caught the city off guard the most.
As the College Entrance Examination approached, the examinees all boarded in the dormitory.
At midnight, Meng Chao woke up with a start. He felt that the air had become stagnant, and there were faint whistles surging like undercurrents.
Then, a piercing alarm rang throughout the city, knocking the students out of their beds.
"What's going on? I didn't hear from the weather bureau that monsters would attack the city tonight."
"This is a special alert. A large number of spatial rifts have been torn in the city. The worst situation has occurred!"
"Didn't they say that the dimension is gradually stabilizing and the monsters will only attack from the periphery of the city in the future? They will rarely enter the city through the space-time rifts, right?"
"Who knows!"
Everyone hurriedly put on their clothes.
They were still adjusting their combat boots when Meng Chao rushed out.
In the corridor, he saw an extremely shocking scene.
At some point in time, huge vortexes had appeared in the starry night sky.
The vortex dragged hundreds of wriggling cantilevers. They were thick and colorful, like a bloody wound that had been torn open in the night sky.
Inside the wound, the stars disappeared. As darkness swallowed and spat out, gigantic monsters that could not be described with words floated above the city.
They wobbled, like demonic jellyfish from hell, but also like huge, bloodshot eyeballs.
The blood vessels were like spider webs, the strangely shaped pupils, and the bloody tissues around the eyeballs were all there, vivid and lifelike.
There were also many tentacles that looked like nerve cords that dangled all the way down, as if they were going to drag them all the way to the end of the street. It was as if they were fishing, and they were going to catch the souls of humans.
The giant eye released a strange light and scanned the entire city like a searchlight.
Occasionally, a blood-like red light would sweep across Ninth High School's dormitory building, and the students in the corridor would feel their minds tremble violently as their scores plummeted.
"It's the 'Demonic Air Ripping Eye'. This beast specializes in group mental attacks. Everyone, do not make eye contact with it!"
"Hurry up and focus! Sit in a stance and meditate! Don't mess up your breathing and meditation techniques!"
"Where is the army? Where are the superhumans? Where are the soldiers? Where are the superhumans? There are so many superbeasts! What should we do?"
This was the first time many of the students saw such a terrifying scene.
The roar of propellers came from the sky. An air strike force formed by eight armored airships and dozens of Extraordinaires had finally arrived.
Machine guns roared, heavy artillery rained down, and superhumans jumped into the air. Their sabers and greatswords drew a lightning-like arc in the air.
The Demonic Air Ripping Eye was a superbeast that was skilled in mind attacks but had a weak body. Now, it was riddled with wounds, and like a balloon that had gone out of control, it screeched and flew everywhere.
A A Demon monster Stage Flew above Armored Earth., and a Demons. One.
Its tentacles immediately began to dance about crazily, its broken body tangling tightly with the armored airship. While laughing viciously and screaming, it fell together with the armored airship.
The Hao came to the explosion. The Demon. The The The For Dragon Dynasty Dragon Long ago for For the explosion. The The for it for the For Dragon Stage.
The teenagers grew up during the glorious era when Dragon City was growing stronger by the day.
Armored airships were mighty steel demons, so no matter how strong a monster was, it had to flee. This was the common sense that supported their view of the world.
But now, the steel demon had fallen.
"The Demonic Air Ripping Eye mentioned in textbooks can't fly this fast. Its tentacles can't be so sturdy either. Bullets can't even break them. What is this?!"
Many of the students' faces were stark pale. Their eyes were dazed, and they could not control their muscles.
If they tested their mental strength indices at this moment, they would definitely find that many of them had their mental strength indices instantly plummeted by dozens of percentage points.
They were about to break down.
Fortunately, at that moment, a loud war song rose from the depths of the school.
The familiar melody was like waves of magma. It flowed into their eardrums and crashed into their nerves, blood vessels, and brain cells. It helped them gather their courage and regain their composure.
In the corridor, Meng Chao was the first to respond to the impassioned melody. He threw his head back and roared.
He was a little tone-deaf, so his singing was definitely not pleasant.
However, the martyrs had sung their war songs for decades on Earth and for decades in the Other World. They had never sung them with their throats but with their ears.
They sang them with their boiling blood, listened to them with their excited hearts, and resonated with them with their courage and beliefs!
Chu Feixiong was the first to shake off his shock. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Meng Chao and rushed to the field, the school, the entire city, and the monsters above the city. He let out the angry roars of an Earthling.
His voice was even more out of tune than Meng Chao's, but it did not matter.
When countless youths and innumerable off-key songs of the Wilderness converged into an earth-shattering roar, when every wave tossed itself high into the air and turned into a stormy wave that swept through the world, they were invincible power.
All the lecturers and students in the corridors, dormitories, lecture buildings, and schools sang together. Their voices gathered together to form an impenetrable defense net that crushed the mind attack released by the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes.
The brainwaves from thousands of teenagers gathered together to form a golden blade that looked as if it had physical form. It attacked the sky, causing the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes to twitch violently and scream.
These beasts had all suffered from the backlash of their minds.
It was not difficult to fend off mind attacks.
Using impassioned military songs to boost courage, using the belongings of the deceased to stir up memories, using children's pictures to ignite hope, and even using all sorts of vulgar entertainment to divert attention had a certain degree of effect.
The point was, when hundreds or thousands of people gathered together, someone had to take the lead.
If someone took the lead and stabilized their mental strength index, they would think of all sorts of ways to boost morale. Their brainwaves would be released endlessly, and they would resonate with the crowd's brainwaves. This was a virtuous cycle, and everyone would become calmer, braver, and fearless.
When they were in a fearless, iron-blooded battle formation with high morale, even the cowardly would become courageous and charge forward.
On the other hand, if someone instantly broke down, their fearful brainwaves would turn into a virus that would infect all the people around them.
When everyone's mental strength index plummeted, it would be as if countless fear bombs had exploded. Even if Meng Chao was among them, it would be difficult for him to ensure that his mind would not be affected.
Fortunately, they managed to stabilize themselves.
Aside from Ninth High School, the other parts of the city gradually recovered as the war songs rang out.
The citizens broke free from their initial panic and started defending and counterattacking based on the emergency rules.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless searchlights illuminated the night sky so much that it was as bright as day.
The anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons released thousands of lines of fire, which made the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes squeak like deflated balloons.
However, aside from the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes, there were other types of monsters that invaded the city from the ground and engaged in close combat with the humans.
For a period of time, the sounds of gunshots, cannons, cries for murder, and explosions rose from every corner of the city.
A few of the buildings around Ninth High School were burning.
"Look!"
Chu Feixiong pointed at a tall building not too far away from the school.
The building was on fire at the bottom, and the top was bound by the tentacles of a Demonic Air Ripping Eye. The citizens in the building had no way out. Many of them called for help from the balconies. Some people even jumped down from the balconies in a panic when their mental strength index plummeted.
"Hurry up and save them!"
Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong led the third-year students out of the dormitory like a whirlwind.
They ran into Principal Sun, Demon Yan, and a large group of fully-armed teachers at the school gate.
"What are you doing?"
Demon Yan held a heavy machine gun that was usually installed on armored vehicles. He had a saber with a ghost's head on his back, and it was even fiercer than the heavy machine gun. He glared at them and shouted.
"Principal Sun, Mr. Yan, are you going out to fight?" Chu Feixiong braced himself and asked. "Perfect! Bring us with you!"
"Stop fooling around! Go back! Before dawn, no one is allowed to take even half a step out of the school!" Demon Yan puffed up his beard and glared at them.
"Why?"
"Didn't the Survival Committee announce that once we run into monsters, we have to help each other and fight with our lives on the line?"
"The monsters are wreaking havoc around us. How can we just watch from the sidelines?"
"A few days ago, I saw a lot of monstrous monsters during the mental strength test. There's nothing to be afraid of. I want to fight!"
The war song just now had made everyone secrete a lot of superbrain endorphins. Their mental strength indices had risen to more than 120%, and the side effect was that they were no longer afraid of Demon Yan. They shouted as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"Students, I understand how you feel, and I definitely agree with your fighting spirit." Principal Sun stood out from behind Demon Yan.
The small and shriveled old man had also changed into a loose camouflage uniform, but he did not bring any weapons. He was empty-handed and smiled gently. "But you're about to go through your national college examination. Many of you have the chance to get into college and become superhumans. Even if you don't manage to get into college, you can still go through professional training and shine in many jobs.
"Society, the school, and your parents have invested a lot of resources in you to bring you up to where you are today. Everyone is hoping that you'll be able to bear fruit, so there's no way we'll let you die meaninglessly before you mature.
"Yes, for the sake of survival, we're constantly sacrificing ourselves, but our sacrifices must be of value. Every single drop of blood that humans shed must be exchanged for a sufficient reward, understand?"
Chu Feixiong was the excited type. Once his mental strength index went off the charts, he was not afraid of anyone. "Principal Sun, then how can you go out and fight?"
