That night, the entire Luzhou City was in a state of extreme chaos. The announcement that they were about to leave was sent to every family through a loudspeaker. They only had 12 hours to leave the next day. There was no way to hide anything.
However, the next day …
The sun did not rise.
No, to be more precise, the sun was completely blocked by the dark clouds that shrouded the sky.
"This is the worst situation!"
On the city wall, Elder Li, Zhou Qingyun, the other leaders of Luzhou City, and some evolved humans looked at the undead army in the sky and outside the city with extremely ugly expressions.
The undead army had surrounded the city. How could they leave?
Not to mention that the Shadow Island would fly over at night, even without Death Song and the other big bosses, the attack of the undead army was enough to destroy the city. Without sunlight to replenish energy, the plants that protected the city were just decorations.
"Let's wait a little longer … Maybe when the sun gets stronger at noon, the dark clouds will disappear …"
Someone said in a low voice. However, these words were more to comfort themselves and to look forward to the future.
After a night's sleep, Lin Xi, who had recovered his energy, stood in the courtyard of the villa and looked up at the sky. He was silent.
Time passed quickly. The evolved humans were gathered for a meeting. Some cherry bombs were distributed to everyone.
"We will leave at 2 pm at the latest. We cannot wait until night."
Someone questioned the host of the meeting, Zhou Qingyun. "What if the dark clouds don't disappear and the undead army doesn't retreat?"
"Then … we will break out."
Zhou Qingyun's voice was a little low. "When that time comes, do your best to protect the civilians … If you really can't protect them, then focus on yourself. We have already given up on this special city. There are only 100,000 evolved humans in the world. We cannot let you all die here."
"Hmph."
A female evolved human sneered. "Why didn't you say something like that? Didn't you say that the city would definitely be defended? Did you trick us into working for you? "
Many evolvers were enraged.
Elder Li, who was sitting at the side, had almost turned pure white overnight. He seemed to have lost his mind. He kept muttering to himself, "I'm the one who harmed the people of Pearl City … I've let them down …"
"It's useless to say these things now. Let's stay alert and prepare for the battle in the afternoon." Su Hongying's face was cold.
No one spoke again.
The number one expert was still very dignified.
The meeting was dismissed. Su Hongying and Lin Xi were asked to stay behind by Zhou Qingyun.
The evolver who had drawn the five-star technique, the Army Killing Fist, was the most powerful representative of the military and evolvers of Luzhou City. His face was haggard as he took out two items from his inventory.
Two plants.
But it was not an ordinary plant.
"That's the trump card of Lu Zhou City. As a unique city, it's only possible to trade for a single tree of each type …"
Zhou Qingyun let out a tired sigh. "What a pity. If this city could be upgraded and produce plants like Plants vs Zombies II, we might not have to run. What a pity …"
Of the two plants, one was a grayish-black mushroom that gave off a destructive aura, while the other was a massive nut that had a diameter of three meters. It flickered with a red light and seemed to be filled with unstable explosives that could explode at any moment.
"The Doom Shroom and the Giant Exploding Nut. The latter is a combination of the Giant Exploding Nut and the Giant Exploding Nut in the Plants vs Zombies game.
"It's a unique plant. Even if it's used up, it can't be exchanged for anymore … If the two of you fight against the big boss of Shadow Island, it can be considered a killing weapon. However … I'm not sure if it can kill such an existence."
Lin Xi asked doubtfully, "Why? You should keep such a killing weapon for yourself. Why are you giving it to me and Su Hongying? "
Zhou Qingyun let out a deep sigh. "My father used to be Elder Li's subordinate, and he respects him a lot … He was the one who asked me to do this. If the two of you grow up, you'll be the hope of all of China and humanity. It'll be a pity if you two die in this city."
After a moment of silence, Su Hongying said, "Thank you. Then, I'll take the Giant Exploding Nut. I like it because I have fire magic."
Seeing the girl put away the Giant Exploding Nut, Lin Xi also put away the Doom Shroom.
In the description of the human evolution program, there was a red warning for this plant: "Extremely powerful, very dangerous!"
"Also, there's one more thing. The evolved person from Pearl City, Wu Yan, disappeared last night. He suddenly disappeared from his residence." Zhou Qingyun's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Wu Yan, who had the bloodline of a six-star god, was a strong evolved person.
His silent disappearance made people feel uneasy.
Did he leave on his own, or … was he killed or taken away by the boss just like on the battlefield?
At this time, Wu Yan, who everyone was talking about, was standing on a huge island.
The bald masked young man, Jian Zhi, was trembling like a weak girl in front of a muscular man. Under his feet was Shadow Island, which was flying through the clouds. The black shadow fell from the sky, covering a large part of the ground.
The island's flying speed was not fast — strictly speaking, it was extremely slow. It would only reach Lu Zhou City at night.
Wu Yan's heart was thumping. Facing the current situation, he did not faint. It was all because of the star spirit race's bloodline and his strong willpower!
Last night, when he returned to his residence, he encountered the Warden of the Soul Lock. Extreme fear prevented him from putting up any resistance, and he was brought to Shadow Island by Hammerstone. He saw the Singer of Death, the iron-armored spirit, and the Shadow of War, the three terrifying bosses.
"Don't be afraid, young human. You are different from them … The psionic energy you control is very similar to souls and shadows. One of my dead subordinates, the Vengeance Spear, possessed psionic energy."
The Singer of Death's voice was low and hoarse, carrying with it an echo that seemed to cause the space to tremble. As he spoke, the black clouds surrounding Shadow Island vibrated as if resonating with him.
Seeing this god-like power, Wu Yan knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Great Singer of Death, Karsus, you are the master of death, the king of shadows! You have the world's strongest army. Your army of undead can devour all life and pollute the vast land. The insignificant evolvers of Lu Zhou City will only be crushed under your mighty divine power! "
"Master of death, please accept me. I am an insignificant being, but I have the desire for greatness, the faith in shadows, the loyalty to evil, and the yearning for power!"
Seemingly satisfied with Wu Yan's words, Karsus let out a terrifying laughter that contained the rhythm of shadows. It was a laughter that could cause mortals to have a mental breakdown and bleed to death from all orifices.
"The living, you are right. Shadow Island needs more members … After the deaths of Evelyn, Elise, and Callista, I need loyal and powerful subordinates … In fact, I have a certain amount of kindness and curiosity towards evolvers."
"If I really wanted to destroy you, would I have delayed it until now? I ordered the dark clouds in the sky to disperse during the day and let the undead retreat to give you time to rest. "
"Unfortunately, you ignored my kindness and killed them."
The Lich that was shrouded in the shadows let out a sigh. This sigh seemed to come from beyond the heavens, penetrating deep into the spirit and soul. In Wu Yan's heart, he felt as though he had sinned, as though he had betrayed the efforts of the Chief Sovereign of Death.
"Now, my kindness has ended … All evolvers must submit to me! Become slaves of Shadow Island and fight for me! "
"The millions of living people of Lu Zhou City will also join the undead race and become part of the army of Shadow Island that will conquer the world!"
Wu Yan's breathing was very difficult. He tried to make the chattering of his teeth less obvious and said in a strange voice that sounded like he was crying, "But … those evolvers … will never obey you. Even if they join Shadow Island, they will only obey your orders on the surface but disobey in secret."
The Singer of Death tapped the wand in his hand and a tremor spread across the ground of Shadow Island. Fear made Wu Yan immediately shut his mouth and deeply bury his head in the ground, prostrating himself respectfully.
"They will never betray me, because the undead will never betray their king!"
Some black fog-like light gathered in front of Wu Yan. Gradually, the light condensed into a grey liquid that floated in the air.
"This is the precious liquid condensed from the energy of death and shadow. After drinking it, it will corrode the flesh of living people and transform their bodies into undead. All slaves must drink it to become a true member of Shadow Island. Starting with you, the living person who can control psionic energy. "
"Thank me! I will grant you the blessing of death. That means strength and a new life! "
A strange smile appeared on the face of the Lich. "Don't be afraid, child. Death is only the beginning."
…
In Lu Zhou City, Lin Xi and Su Hongying were talking.
"You seem to want to obtain my blood … Can my blood make you stronger? Can it give you the power to fight against the big boss of Shadow Island? "
Lin Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
First: The genes of the big devil and human are very different. The evolution of swallowing blood is likely to fail. Second: Even if he can absorb it, it is too late now. Evolution needs time. The last time he swallowed the blood of the ghouls, it took him ten days. How many days will it take to swallow the blood of the big devil?
During the formation of his ability, he can't fight.
"Sigh …"
Sighing in disappointment, Su Hongying did not speak anymore and quietly waited for the afternoon to come.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, if the black clouds did not disperse, the team must move. Hundreds of evolvers, tens of thousands of soldiers, and millions of civilians must leave together and use their lives to break through the undead army that blocked the city.
