The tremor spread from the ground to the nuclear bomb and from the nuclear bomb to the legs of the members of Hope. It made it harder for them to stand.
At that moment, there were mutants charging at the team from all directions. This kind of danger, blood, and death had stimulated their potential. If they wanted to absorb more supernatural power, they could only rely on this kind of killing spree. Either they would grow stronger or they would die.
The boiling Majesty City was looking at them and the millions of mutants.
Yang Xinxin had just pulled Zhou Haorui and Chen Jiahwa back from the air. Before he could even take a break, Lin Chengbo was already right in front of him.
Faced with this kind of supernatural power, there was not much that the members of the team could do. Deng Peiqian tried to summon Byakee but the spell was countered in this place. Chaos and darkness corroded her mind but there was no summon. Feng Peiqian groaned, "The spell is not working …"
The team had predicted this terrible situation a long time ago. This was a battle between light and darkness.
Just as the red energy from the snake's tongue was about to hit everyone, Yang Xinxin used his crow wings to block the space in front of the nuclear bomb. Immediately, the scarlet color collided with the black, and the poisonous liquid corroded the feathers. The pair of wings shattered into pieces, but there was still a portion of the scarlet color that splashed across the defensive line.
It was like a high-intensity sulfuric acid that could even penetrate steel.
Kombarov, who could not evade in time, was hit in the face by a few drops of red. His nose, left cheek, and chin were corroded into bloody holes. They sizzled and blood gushed out. He screamed in pain but the machine gun did not stop firing. It continued to fire at the endless number of mutants.
Esther Adams, Feng Peiqian, and Deng Ximei were also hit by the red energy. Their arms and legs were injured and the pain assaulted them.
Uncle Dan was still busy bandaging Hubbard Scott's right arm. Almost everyone was injured. Even his own left shoulder was torn open. He did not have time to deal with it. As he finished the bandaging, he gave Hubbard Scott some encouragement. "Hang in there …"
But at the same time, Lin Chengbo didn't stop for even a second. The twisting snake tongue emitted even more energy, as if all the blood in its body was bursting out.
"You mortals, fools …" he screamed shrilly, and the snake scales on his face turned blood-red. "How can you compare to God's power!"
His forked tongue swept forward again, and the other mutants around him followed suit. They wanted to claim the credit for this battle.
It was hard to tell if these flesh creatures from the Dark Abyss were snake tongues or tentacles. They twisted, intertwined, and formed a giant, seamless net that was about to fall down and melt the intruders into a pool of blood.
It was only then that the three heavily injured members of the Crows returned to the nuclear base. Like the others, they were powerless to fight back, and their tightly clenched hearts were close to death.
"I don't agree with what you said about divine power …"
But it was also at this time that Cai Zixuan spoke. Light and shadow lingered on his raised right hand, as if connected to something. It looked like the mark of a crow, but also like the mark of the Goddess of Life. Both seemed to be vaguely visible on his right hand. The intertwined black and white light from his fist lit up the mark and pattern on the entire nuclear bomb.
The red energy net that surrounded the nuclear base suddenly stopped moving. It could not move forward anymore.
The mutants were not the only ones who were surprised. The others on the nuclear warhead also did not expect Cai Zixuan to be able to block the enemy's blood web by himself. His usually kind face was now twisted with anger. "You are not worthy!"
As he shouted, he swung his right fist. The enormous power that was attached to his right hand rushed out like a tsunami.
In the blink of an eye, the flood tore a hole in the blood-red web of the snake's tongue. Like an electric current, the snake's tongue struck the bodies of the mutants, and these mutants who were fighting for credit were all hit hard. Fear flashed across some of the mutants' faces. BAM BAM BAM BAM, their heads exploded into a pile of flesh and blood.
"How …" Lin Chengbo was sent flying. If he did not bite off his tongue in time, the force would have blown his head apart.
He landed heavily on the ground, gasping for air. His body was covered in wounds. He looked at the people who were still standing on the nuclear base with confusion, especially that Cai Zixuan … That, that was not a spell … How could a normal human possess such powerful physical strength?
Cai Zixuan was just a normal medical member of the Spell Department, he did not even join the frontline many times, so how could he …
The Majestic City was silenced for a moment. The earlier cheering turned into a low buzz. This kind of power was enough for one to stand at the top of the city.
"Zixuan …" Uncle Dan glanced at the panting Cai Zixuan next to him. "That's impressive."
Everyone knew that Zixuan had gained supernatural power after sacrificing to the crow, but the previous experiments showed that he had not reached this level yet.
Deng Ximei looked at the nuclear bomb beneath her and then at the black cat that was still fighting Prestige City. She seemed to understand something. "The sense has increased …" Feng Peiqian, Zhou Haorui, and the rest had the same feeling. The nuclear bomb, Cai Zixuan, and them had become a power carrier.
The blood of the mutants dyed the ground. They were gathered by the nuclear base to be sacrificed to a higher existence.
Cai Zixuan looked at the chaotic scene of death in front of him and was overwhelmed by thousands of emotions. "I want to save people …"
A scarlet color surged on his face. It was not a normal color. Suddenly, before he could finish speaking, he coughed uncomfortably. Blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth. His body swayed and was about to collapse.
Zhou Haorui and Chen Jiahwa quickly held him back but even they could not keep their balance.
"Zixuan!" Seeing this, Uncle Dan put down the treatment on Hubbard Scott and took out a shot to inject Zixuan with it.
Cai Zixuan was clearly having difficulty breathing, and even the light in his eyes was fading away. That strike just now had consumed too much of his energy, and it had also exceeded his limits by too much. His body was unable to bear it, and that strike had burned himself.
His coughing became weaker and the blood continued to flow …
The situation that seemed to have changed turned grim again. The cheers at Majestic City returned. Xu Yanjing and the rest of the mutants calmed down.
But now that the light from the nuclear bomb was getting brighter and brighter, Inhumans like Lin Chengbo could feel a sense of danger. They could not be happy. They could not let the nuclear bomb continue to gather energy, they could not let the connection behind it become stronger …
The grinding of gears started again. The layers of flesh and steel that covered the sky suddenly unraveled and reconnected.
It was a flight of stairs. They formed a giant staircase that extended upwards. It cut across the sky above Majestic City.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the stairs were covered in shadows. They were strange humanoid figures.
Majestic City that was about to regain its commotion suddenly silenced. Xu Yanjing, Lin Chengbo, and many other mutants had not seen something like this before. In fact, they had no idea what was going on. However, they saw the most powerful mutant they had ever seen standing on the bottom step. The ones standing on the top step were obviously of a higher level.
Level after level, all the way to the highest, lofty, indistinct throne that could not be seen clearly, there was only one figure sitting there. It was the City Lord of Prestige City.
A powerful aura pressed down from this majestic staircase, causing all the mutants in the city to not dare to make a sound, and all the living beings' minds were damaged.
The mutants at the bottom were rendered speechless. This kind of power … How big was the gap between them and the upper echelons …
The members of Team Hope also felt the pressure. It was as if there was an abyss beneath the abyss.
"Kill them." A hoarse and low voice came from the top of the staircase. It should be the order of the mayor. The next moment, some of the figures on the bottom step suddenly leaped out. They flew towards the members of Team Hope at a speed that was impossible for humans to resist. However, they were blocked by the black cat's figure.
"Hold on!" At the same time, the black cat shouted, "The energy is almost enough."
It was because of this that the staircase of Majestic appeared. To suppress the connection of the nuclear bomb, the mayor of the mutant city wanted to finish them off as soon as possible.
Deng Ximei immediately shouted. This was a Doctor Carlop ballad in the foreign language. When she was connected to Carlott College at River End Village, she had shouted this before. "I am a suture, I am also a sharp knife. I am an executioner, I am also a doctor! "
Cheering along with her were the other members who had learned this foreign ballad before.
However, Cai Zixuan coughed out blood and said, "Give me your strength … Let me punch again …"
"All of you just focus on Zixuan." The black cat's voice came, agreeing to this gamble. "The nuclear bomb can gather your strength!"
The group could not help but pause. They did not act immediately. Zixuan's body could not overload like that again …
"There is no time to hesitate." Cai Zixuan stood up shakily and said with a smile, "Actually, I am also an eight-year student at Eastern University … Come on!" Everyone knew that success or failure depended on this one move. After an instinctive hesitation, they gritted their teeth and did it. They would follow Zixuan into the abyss.
The group no longer cared about the chaos around them. They only focused on thinking about Cai Zixuan. Instantly, they felt their bodies connect with the lines of the nuclear bomb. Their mental power rushed out like water and gathered at one point through the nuclear bomb. It gathered at Cai Zixuan.
Cai Zixuan's right hand flashed again. The strange feeling emerged in his heart again. He was no longer just himself, he was many people.
The high-level mutants were held back by the black cat, but another group of low-level mutants arrived. Their numbers were like an avalanche.
Blood flowed out of Cai Zixuan's mouth and eyes. The pain brought about by the overload caused his entire body to churn, but he did not hesitate to use all the strength in his body, exhausted all the spirit he had in this life, and almost threw himself out. He heavily punched out, and a force even greater than before rushed out.
The mutants who bore the brunt of the attack exploded. The steel on the ground was bent and broken, revealing the strange and intricate gear structure inside.
All the mutants on the ground were shocked. As long as they were close to the nuclear bomb, they would explode into a mist of blood, turned into energy, and continued to be gathered by the nuclear bomb.
The mutants on the Stairway of Dignity were even more agitated. For the members of the Hope Squad, the identity of the nuclear bomb was still a secret. It might be the same for the mutants. Destroy this place with a nuclear explosion? Only Wu Shiyu knew her real plan.
But no matter what, Dignity City did not want to be in a stalemate any longer. It had to be resolved immediately.
The figure on the throne of the Stairway of Dignity suddenly flew down. It was the strongest person in Dignity City, the current leader of the Life Will Alliance. Its figure was still blurry, and before it struck, the black cat's loud cry echoed in Dignity City, "It's over, it's over!"
As the cat meowed, a bronze bell materialized on the front paw of the black cat that was leaping into the air. It shook its paws, producing an ancient and clear bell sound.
The black cat's power suddenly shrouded the entire area. All the lines on the nuclear bomb exploded, as if it was releasing all the fire that had been accumulating for a long time.
At that moment, the mutants all had different expressions on their faces. Some had yet to react, some were overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of fear …
The ten people standing on the nuclear bomb had exhausted their strength and were collapsing, but they could still feel the tremor caused by the explosion of the nuclear bomb. At that moment, they seemed to have become one with the nuclear bomb. Every pattern and line that was engraved on it flashed through their minds …
Only then did they know that there was a line of Chinese engraved on the bottom of the nuclear bomb:
"Sweet dreams."
Boom! The nuclear bomb that was placed on the ground exploded, and an immeasurable amount of energy gushed out.
However, what they felt in the next second was not pain, nor was it the darkness of losing consciousness. Instead, they saw that the explosion of the nuclear bomb was not a flame, but a strange and indescribable brilliance. In an instant, the place was drowned, and it spread out at a speed that no one could stop.
Be it Lin Chengbo who was still lying on the ground or the high-level mutants who jumped down from the sky … all the mutants, all the gears, and all the machines froze.
Even their expressions and voices … were frozen. Only the City Lord of Majestic City seemed to be struggling a little …
No! It could not end like this! Its frenzied screams seemed to echo in the air.
But they could not stop this nuclear explosion, and they could not fight against the higher existence summoned by the explosion.
Like the light of dawn chasing away the darkness, everything became brighter than day. This place had fallen into a strange dimension, an indescribable dimension. Cai Zixuan, Deng Ximei, Uncle Dan, and the rest looked around and saw many things in the light …
They saw what had been, and what would be.
Chen Jiahwa watched as patients with petrification underwent surgery one after another. Patients in wheelchairs were freed from their wheelchairs. Patients who had taken painkillers in the middle of the night were able to get a good night's sleep. Patients who had been tortured to the point of wanting to commit suicide were able to laugh again …
Cai Zixuan saw the patient named Zhang Xiaojun walk into the Da Hua Central Hospital. She was reunited with her family, who had been separated from her for a long time. The family was so excited and shy that they could not say a word. The same thing happened to many other patients. They had the medicine to control their illness and reverse the mutation.
Feng Peiqian, Zhou Haorui, Uncle Dan, and the rest saw more medicine being insured and more people getting health insurance.
The patients with muscular dystrophy struggled to stand up with the aid of their walkers. They thought about running and getting a driving license after they recovered. The city's barrier-free facilities were put to use. The elderly and the disabled pushed their wheelchairs and the blind walked the streets with their guide dogs. They thought about going to more places to visit. Normal people who fell ill suddenly received treatment. Families who could not afford the exorbitant medical fees did not have to give up treatment because of the health insurance …
The patients with rare diseases, cancer, and incurable diseases … in their hearts, there was less pain and more hope.
Health was walking under the sun, health was sleeping well, health was playing with friends, health was snuggling with lovers, health was the laughter of a family, health was the mundane things that seemed insignificant, health was waking up every morning to say hello to oneself instead of sighing.
It did not matter if it was a positive choice, a negative choice, or a draw.
Lovers could love each other, parents could raise their children, and children could accompany their parents … Illness did not separate them.
Cai Zixuan could not help but laugh when he saw this. His heart had never been so peaceful and joyful before.
Smiles blossomed on their faces as they watched the scene gradually fade away. They finally understood the black cat's real plan. They were sent into another dimension by the force of the nuclear explosion, and the entire Prestige City was sent into that dimension.
Goodbye, people from my hometown. I wish you good luck, and I wish you sweet dreams.
In the blink of an eye, they saw the shadows before them become clearer. It was a group of people standing not far away.
They were wearing the uniforms of the Carlop doctors. Almost all of them were tall and slender, and only one of them was a female figure that belonged to their tribe.
"Monitor!" Cai Zixuan called out in surprise. He recognized the woman to be Wang Ruoxiang. She was still wearing the white human coat.
Wang Ruoxiang waved with a smile. The Carlop doctors shared a smile with them. It was as if they were congratulating them on their victory.
As more light and shadows gradually became clearer, more figures could be seen. They immediately saw more Heroic Souls and many old acquaintances.
'Where are they? Where are they? ' Feng Peiqian widened her eyes. She looked around for the person that she missed. She could sense that Captain Yu was there as well …
At that moment, Deng Ximei and Uncle Dan saw a tall figure standing further away. Their smiles widened. The figure was wearing a black leather robe and a broken bird's beak mask. Zhou Haorui, Yang Xinxin and Chen Jiahwa confirmed through their connection that the plague doctor was Crow.
"We meet again, right?" In the sea of light, the black cat walked toward the plague doctor. Her figure slowly morphed back into a female human. It was Wu Shiyu. She stretched lazily. "One way is to wake you up, the other is to fall asleep as well. I choose the easier option."
At this moment, Xu Yanjing, Lin Chengbo, the City Lord of Prestige City, and the other mutants, no matter what level they were at, no matter what kind of emotions they were feeling, whether it was panic or hatred, they were all hiding far away, unable to move. They were not in charge here.
Lin Chengbo struggled with all his might but it was as if he had lost all his senses … The more he struggled, the more confused he became …
This power … Is this … divine power?
This was a dream, Wu Shiyu's dream, Crow's dream, and the Goddess of Life's dream.
Everything was a dream, everything was Azathos's dream. Even the dream was a dream.
The Hope Squad, the Lifeforce Alliance, Prestige City, the mutants … they had all become a nightmare, a nightmare for those who would never wake up.
In this nightmare, there were monsters, blood, heroes, doctors, mortals, and gods.
On the other side, Wu Shiyu, who had finished stretching, walked to the plague doctor. She reached out to his face to remove the beak mask he was wearing. He did not stop her and allowed her to remove the mask. The mask had not been worn for long, it could still be removed.
The broken face was still intact in the dream. At that moment, it revealed a smile. It was Gu Jun, a salty one.
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Jun said to everyone in a serious tone, "Zixuan, now you have plenty of time to cook a good meal for us."
"I'm starving." Wu Shiyu patted her stomach like a Zoog, "Yes, I do need some nourishment."
The group chuckled and started to walk toward their old friend, the Carlop doctors, and the Goddess of Life. They were the Goddess of Life.
Nothing brought one closer to the gods than giving others health.
