It took Winston some effort to recover from the shock wave of the final explosion.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, nor did he know where he was on the battlefield. The only fortunate thing was that when he opened his eyes, he found that Caroline was not far from him.
It seemed that before he lost consciousness, he still remembered to protect the weaker chief of the Logistics Section in the chaos.
Caroline woke up earlier than him. At this moment, she was standing at the side, "staring" at the battlefield with her eyes closed, frowning.
"Cough cough … Bah."
Winston spat out a mouthful of blood, patted the dust off his head, and stood up.
Because the aether in his body had been exhausted to resist the shock wave, there was no way to heal. He could only find a blood-stained bandage from the function slot of his armor and bandaged it on his upper arm to stop the blood from flowing. After bandaging it, he ignored the pain in his body and walked to Caroline's side.
He looked in the direction that the other party was facing. The surroundings were filled with smoke and dust, and it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
Caroline obviously noticed his approach and said, "I'm trying to find information related to Yue Sefu …"
Winston was stunned, and then he hurriedly blurted out anxiously, "How is it? Did you find it?"
Caroline's brows furrowed even tighter, and she shook her head. "No …" She memorized it in a second.
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly groaned, and blood flowed out of her eyes again.
Fortunately, Winston was supporting her, otherwise she would definitely have fallen to the ground and not been able to get up.
Winston's anxious mood suddenly changed, and he realized what kind of danger such an action represented in an environment filled with aether caused by the collision of gods.
He sighed, "… Don't force yourself too much."
"I'm the only one with the ability to investigate now. If you don't force me, do you want to force yourself?" Caroline, whose eyes were bleeding, subconsciously touched her waist bag, wanting to take out a cigarette, but in the end, she only took out some tobacco paper scraps.
Together, they found a relatively flat and spacious place to sit down and looked at the "scenery" in the distance that was faintly discernible in the smoke and dust.
The battle between gods was finally over.
In the end, the two turned into a black and white ball of light, erupting with darkness and light that devoured everything. They did not hesitate to collide with each other with the belief that they must kill each other.
The center of the battlefield had now become a huge depression. The surrounding buildings had been completely reduced to ashes and turned into black powder. It was like a desert that had been endowed with the concept of death.
Due to the explosions of these two, no, three gods, the entire battlefield was now filled with irritable aether, as if it had been contaminated.
Normal superhumans would experience tinnitus and vomit just by getting close to it, and they would not be able to continue. If it were a normal person, they would probably experience physiological abnormalities on the spot.
Other than that, there were also many remnant forces causing trouble. The rules of the world that had collapsed without a master were constantly affecting everything. People would mysteriously burn here, time would mysteriously become chaotic, they would mysteriously age and disappear, and they would mysteriously step into dreams …
Winston guessed that for a very long time, the area within a few thousand meters of 67 Street would become a new restricted area that would be recorded in the archives.
"F * ck …" Winston scratched his head in frustration and cursed softly, "In such a situation, the Miyie Tower will most likely assume that Yue Sefu is dead. They won't send people to their deaths. In order to reduce the number of casualties, they will first seal off this area."
"Although I can't find him, I can still feel that Yue Sefu should still be alive …" Caroline said. She continued to use her Gaze to scan the battlefield, unwilling to give up.
"He must still be alive!" Winston gritted his teeth. The past between his friends appeared before his eyes … 'I'm such a useless piece of trash. What have I done to help Yue Sefu?'
Regret and pain enveloped him. His heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. He wanted nothing more than to be buried here with Yue Sefu.
Seeing Melissa disappear before his eyes was already too late for regrets. Now, he was once again helpless about Yue Sefu's whereabouts. This feeling was no different from betrayal.
"We can't give up yet." Winston suddenly raised his head and said softly, "There's someone who can save Yue Sefu."
"Boss Lin?" Caroline was stunned. "But …"
"No, or rather, Boss Lin has already saved Yue Sefu once. Now, we can only rely on us to pull Yue Sefu back from the abyss."
Winston took a deep breath and said, "It's Andrew."
"It's Andrew."
Caroline was silent for a moment. She knew Winston's choice.
"He's also one of the lackeys of the bookstore owner. Since Boss Lin has intervened, it means that Yue Sefu must still be alive. Now, only the Truth Society has the ability to freely enter and exit this battlefield."
"This is our only hope." Winston raised his head and looked at the chaotic laws and scattered power on the battlefield. It was like the mouth of a monster.
His communication device had been destroyed, so he could only find a usable one and dial Andrew's number.

Lin Jie placed the clock in Ji Zhixu's hand, his eyes full of encouragement. "It's actually quite cute. You can try touching it."
Ji Zhixu trembled slightly and took the exquisitely crafted clock. Then, she forced a smile. "Indeed, it's not scary at all. You're right. I won't be afraid."
Although she said that, she didn't dare to put her hand on this bug at all.
It was fine if she wasn't strong enough to awaken the ability to control spacetime, but if she accidentally touched it and really caused time to flow forward or backward a few times, changing something important, she would really be a sinner.
She looked at her hand that was resisting with all her might and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for letting you see this embarrassing side of me …"
"Haha." Lin Jie waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone has something they're afraid of. Why do you have to apologize for something like this?"
"The key is that people need to overcome their own fears. What you're afraid of is often fear itself. The more afraid you are, the more you have to face it. Only then will you have a chance to grow. Keep it well and try more. You'll eventually get better."
"Yes." Ji Zhixu hurriedly nodded.
Lin Jie came out mainly to wait for Ge Leige and to give the gift. At this moment, he lowered his head with nothing to do and looked down from the second floor of the building.
Even after experiencing an earthquake of magnitude 7 or 8, the A16 manor still maintained its imposing manner. For the Ji family, it was just a matter of a few broken plates and chandeliers. They didn't have the slightest bit of worry.
Lin Jie couldn't help but think that the rich were still as calm as Mount Tai in this kind of earthquake. It wasn't like his small broken bookstore, which was either windy or leaking.
Lin Jie's heart was sour …
Ji Zhixu quietly waited on the side. She looked at Lin Jie's side profile. The owner of the bookstore fell silent. His expression was no longer casual, but rather solemn. His eyes reflected the panicked crowd downstairs due to the earthquake. It was as if he was looking at ants whose nest was on fire. All living things were just a small stage in his eyes, and he was the only audience.
Ji Zhixu lowered her head to look at the clock-wheel worm in her hand. She exerted strength in her fingers and clenched them tightly … If this was just a stage play directed by Boss Lin …
She also wanted to be the main character.
Great Miss Ji took a deep breath. She absolutely couldn't be afraid. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to be a chess piece.
Just like Yue Sefu and Wang Erde …
"I wonder how Mr. Wang Erde and Mr. Yue Sefu are doing right now? Speaking of which … "Ji Zhixu said with some disappointment," Those two can be considered book friends. I originally wanted to invite them to my birthday party, but unfortunately … "
That was a good idea, young girl.
But wouldn't those two fight as soon as they meet?
Lin Jie was actually quite happy when he heard this. After all, the purpose of his book cafe was to allow book friends to interact with each other and urge each other to study hard and buy more books.
However, Yue Sefu was currently on a mission, and Old Wang was probably doing research. With his lonely temperament, it was impossible for him to attend this party.
"Those two won't be able to come," Lin Jie explained with a shrug.
Ji Zhixu's heart sank. "Did something happen to those two?"
"No, what could happen to those two …" Lin Jie thought for a moment and joked, "I just think that your idea isn't reliable. If those two meet, they'll definitely fight. In the end, they'll definitely part on bad terms."
Part on bad terms?
Part on bad terms?
Ji Zhixu widened her eyes slightly. How could they part on bad terms? Of course, there had to be someone present first!
Could it be that … Boss Lin meant that those two were still alive?
