At the north gate, the crowd was as thin as sand. They were slowly making their way to the city gate, but the black tide had already arrived.
Hundreds of people, thousands of people, over ten thousand people, death was happening in every corner. The real apocalypse was sweeping across the place!
In the past, the people standing on the walls could see a flourishing city. Even though the main colors were not as bright and luxurious as Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, the beauty of the city after the hardships of history was always more fascinating, as if every brick and tile was hiding a moving story …
However, the black storm that filled the sky was made up of ferocious undead. The real apocalypse loomed over the place, turning all life and buildings into nothing!
Cries and shouts filled the cold air. They were hoarse and exhausted!
Zombies, ghosts, and skeletons filled the sky like a tsunami. The ground and buildings collapsed, and the sky and clouds lost their color!
As for how many people were still in the city, it was easy to tell just by looking at the tears and cries of despair in the crowded inner city …
The inner city gradually fell into a dead silence.
They did not have the energy to denounce, nor did they have the mood to ask. The scale of the calamity was enough to suppress all the guts, questions, and cries!
The Heavens were trying to destroy the city. If the city was destroyed, the people would die!
…
The streets were full of people. Even the vehicles were not allowed to occupy any space. Some were curled up, crying, and burying their heads in the ground. It was hard to tell if they were waiting for the death sentence, or praying that they would be able to survive the calamity.
There was no such thing as too many people talking. Most people's souls had already been destroyed by the calamity, leaving only empty shells behind.
There were more tears than rain, and their hearts were colder than winter. No one cared about the benefits, or whether it was more comfortable or crowded. Either way, no one would be able to escape the calamity of the apocalypse, or rather, everyone had already fallen into a kingdom of death. Even the most terrifying thing, human nature, seemed insignificant and insignificant.
Zhang Xiaohou kept taking deep breaths and clenching his fists as he weaved through the crowded streets filled with people fleeing for their lives.
He was so useless, he was so useless!
He had already seen the people of the Black Vatican planning something near the Ancient Capital. Why didn't he expect them to stir up such a calamity?
Most importantly, he had clearly heard Great Deacon Hu Jin's voice, yet he could not remember who he was!
If he had eliminated the Black Vatican earlier, the calamity might have been avoided.
The streets were filled with people, regardless of gender, age, or gender. They were all huddled close to each other. After surviving the calamity, they were all in a daze. It wasn't just because the apocalypse had surrounded this small inner city. What made them lose hope in surviving was that most of the cities that were engulfed by the apocalypse had their families and friends.
For many people, even the departure of a loved one was already the end of the world, not to mention the fact that he was the only one left in this world.
"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoluo blurted out when she saw Zhang Xiaohou's eyes turning red.
Zhang Xiaohou wiped his wet eyes and took a deep breath, before saying, "When I graduated in my third year of high school, when our Bo City was covered in blood, I told myself that I would never let it happen again. I would become stronger, so strong that I would be able to destroy the evil that brought misfortune to the people … but after so many years, the same thing happened again. More people died, and countless Magicians were sacrificed, but I'm still the same as before, unable to do anything. I can only watch, watch like a piece of trash."
Insignificant, it was something that Zhang Xiaohou hated to the bone.
The inner city that was enveloped by the golden barrier wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. It wouldn't be long before he would have to watch the people around him die again …
He had already experienced the feeling before. It was worse than death, and he could not bear it a second time.
He wanted to do something. When he saw the city full of refugees, he simply wanted to do something, something better than waiting for death to come.
"Don't blame yourself too much, the Black Vatican is just too heartless and cunning. It's not like you didn't do anything. At least you know that one of the culprits is hiding among the people of Bo City. Once Mofan finds your classmates, he might be able to find Great Deacon Hu Jin, "Su Xiaoluo comforted him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoluo noticed a few people squeezing their way through the crowd. The one leading the group was Mofan in a black outfit.
"Mofan, over here!" Su Xiaoluo waved her hand.
Mofan led Mubai, Zhou Min, Zhao Kunsan, and Wang Sanpang over. He glanced at Fang Gu, who had yet to leave. He let out a wry smile when he saw Zhang Xiaohou's reddened eyes.
Mubai and the others had dark looks on their faces. They had witnessed the scene before. They initially thought it was a thing of the past, yet to their surprise, the worst news had just arrived.
"I've already told them about the situation. Houzi, they will list the people they know. You'll be in charge of the elimination … Either way, we have to find Great Deacon Hu Jin as soon as possible, and inform Councilman Zhu Meng at once, so they can take action," Mofan said to Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded with a stern expression.
Mubai, Zhou Min, Zhao Kunsan, and Wang Sanpang wore stern looks too. It took them quite some time to calm their thoughts when Mofan told them the news.
"I'll go first. Among the people I know, Lin Yuxin and Deng Kai are Magicians. It's been a while since I last saw Lin Yuxin. She took good care of me when I first came to the Ancient Capital, "said Zhou Min.
"Lin Yuxin? She's in Bo City too?" asked Mofan in surprise.
As soon as the name was mentioned, Mo Fan immediately pictured a beautiful woman in a white uniform with a sense of righteousness between her brows.
Lin Yuxin was the one who had given him the Geyser Spring, risking her life to protect the precious spring water of Bo City. She was the reason why Bo City was able to survive the calamity!
"Lin Yuxin can't be one of the Black Vatican's people," said Mofan confidently.
"What about Deng Kai?" asked Mubai.
Deng Kai was one of the higher-ups of the Hunter Union. He had tried his best to protect Bo City.
After Principal Zhu died in the battle, Deng Kai was supposed to take over the position of the principal of Tian Lan Magic High School. However, when Bo City was turned into a military base, Tian Lan Magic High School was turned into a small military school. Deng Kai had moved to the Ancient Capital with the other people of Bo City.
"Deng Kai's voice is quite special. I still remember it, so it shouldn't be him," said Zhang Xiaohou, shaking his head.
"Mubai, tell us, you should have met the most people," said Mofan.
Mubai fell into deep thought. He had something to say, but he did not know where to start.
