The Demon Ape was sent flying by a single slash.
It wasn't until it flew several hundred meters away that its body was split in half and fell to the ground.
Not a single drop of blood flowed out.
The two halves of its body turned into mud and fused back together.
「 It's useless, you can't kill me like this 」
The Demon Ape stood up and roared in anger.
The other Demon Ape was shot twice, but it didn't bother fighting against Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li anymore and went next to it.
The two Demon Apes' bodies slowly fused together to form a four-armed, two-headed ape.
An even more brutal and powerful presence radiated from the monster's body.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
It walked step by step towards them.
"You were able to force me to this point, seems like it's worth it for me to fight with my full strength" the four-armed, two-headed ape solemnly declared.
Gu Qing Shan wielded her sword and stood straight.
Jang Young-ho was busy reloading his gun.
7-8 sharp red bone spikes suddenly sprouted from the Clown's back.
Seeing that a fierce battle was unavoidable, hurried cries could be heard from the edge of the city.
"Gu gu gu — — chirp!"
"Gu gu gu — — chirp!"
The four-armed, two-headed ape was stunned.
Streaks of black shadows flew into the city, and with extraordinary speed, they let out continuous cries in the sky above the burning streets.
"Major Li, what's going on?" Gu Qing Shan shouted in a low voice.
Li Da Jun quickly explained: "That's the sound of a Demonized Steel Falcon, it's a bird they use to relay orders"
The four-armed, two-headed ape seemed to understand something and looked down at them with a strange expression, muttering: "Humans, pitiful humans"
Saying so, it turned around and ran away without looking back.
It left very quickly, already out of sight in just a few breaths' worth of time.
Everyone was stunned.
What's going on?
Very quickly, they noticed that it wasn't just the four-armed, two-headed ape, all the other apocalyptic monsters in the city had also turned around and left the city.
"Adjust the satellite, I want to see the situation!" the woman in the military uniform immediately said.
A soldier ran forward, placed the portable space communicator on his back on the ground, opened it up, and connected to the satellite.
"Authorization is required, General," the soldier said.
The woman stepped forward and aimed her amber eyes at the detector. At the same time, she pressed her hand on the device.
Three.
Two.
One.
Pass!
An image appeared on the electronic screen.
The soldiers quickly mobilized the satellite monitoring equipment and brought up the images of the surroundings of the city.
Countless monsters gathered around the city, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
They surrounded the entire city tightly, not allowing anyone to leave.
The woman had a confused look on her face as she muttered to herself, "Why are they surrounding us and not attacking us? Could it be that we have reinforcements? Major Li, did your [Order] give you any hints? "
Li Da Jun looked at the void in front of him and said: "My mission is to hold my ground. Apart from that, there are no other hints"
For a time, the flames of war were extinguished.
There were no longer any sounds of fighting or killing.
The Clown descended from the sky, took off his mask, and said, "I haven't even warmed up yet. How is it over already?"
Jang Young-ho mused, "This is a little strange …"
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the woman.
— — -this was a young woman with black hair and brown eyes, her facial features were quite striking, her entire appearance was pleasing to the eye, the power fluctuations she gave off weren't any weaker than anyone else, but strangely, she didn't carry any weapons.
So this is a natural-born Deity of [Chaos]?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
At the same time.
At a place extremely far away from this city.
The human world's allied army HQ.
Everyone was busy working.
[Brown Bear 1, requesting to carry out a top-secret mission]
[Received, request approved, the third passage is being opened, please conduct a final check of the power system and firepower reserves]
[Brown Bear 1 reporting, everything is ready]
[You may take off in three seconds!]
[Three]
[Two]
[One]
[Depart!]
With a resounding boom, a plane left the base and flew towards the horizon.
…
"So we're trapped in this city?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, Gu Qing Shan, I know that you and your companions are people of this city. You've only awakened your abilities not too long ago, so you should have gone through a period of training and guidance, but there's no time for that now. Let me ask you, are you willing to join the human allied forces to fight against the apocalyptic monsters?" the woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan appeared anxious and nervous, then asked in return: "Is that really possible? To protect our home, of course we're more than willing "
The woman smiled and replied: "Of course, your identities are clean, and you've worked together to kill that serpent. You're very strong, so we're in desperate need of fresh blood like you"
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, and Ye Fei Li exchanged glances.
"We're willing" the three of them replied in unison.
The woman nodded, appearing very pleased.
"Very well, I am the major general of the Eastern Continent's Xia country's Southwestern army, Ye Ru Xi"
The woman extended her hand to the three of them.
"General Ye, what should we do now?"
After shaking hands, Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Since you're talents discovered by Major Li Da Jun, follow him for now, learn some advanced knowledge about ability users and prepare to enter battle at a moment's notice"
"Understood"
"As for your military ranks, you've made a great contribution today, but there are always a lot of procedures to promote your military rank, so don't worry about that for now, you'll get it later on"
"Understood"
Seeing how cooperative the three of them were, Ye Ru Xi couldn't help but silently nod.
She smiled at the three of them, then prepared to leave.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, appeared a bit hesitant, then turned to look at Gu Qing Shan: "Gu Qing Shan, you know how to use a sword?"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li also had strange expressions on their faces.
That's quite interesting.
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "This humble one has been learning the sword for quite some time now, so I'm quite familiar with a few basic techniques"
Li Da Jun asked: "That sword of yours — — can you let me take a look at it?"
The three of them froze.
Ye Ru Xi also felt a bit embarrassed and shook her head: "My apologies, I was being rude"
After saying so, she left.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
A wondrous feeling filled his mind.
I feel like I've experienced something like this before.
At this point, Li Da Jun hurriedly returned with four portions of Special Warfare Rations, then handed three portions to the three of them.
"We still don't know what's going to happen next, but let's eat first, then rest up and wait for further orders" Li Da Jun opened his portion and began eating.
"Understood" the three of them replied in unison.
A large number of civilians were still slowly moving, their destination was the military's temporary camp.
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, and the other soldiers remained at the center of the ruined city to eat.
Gu Qing Shan tore open a simple bag of food and checked the contents inside.
This single portion of Special Warfare Rations contained self-heating braised beef rice, cold stewed pea meat, marinated goose meat, sweet cake, compressed biscuits, fruits, chocolate, tea bags, coffee, sugar, salt, and even a packet of cumin powder.
Ye Fei Li and Jang Young-ho also tore open the packaging.
"I say" Jang Young-ho joked, "if it weren't for those monsters, I'd really feel like we've entered a military club"
Gu Qing Shan picked up his spoon and began to eat.
"Major Li, what kind of weapon does General Ye use?" he asked while eating.
"You're so powerful, bare-handed." Li Da Jun praised.
"Bare-Handed? That's impressive, but what's the most impressive thing about our allied human army? "Gu Qing Shan continued to ask.
Li Da Jun opened his eyes wide at him and naturally answered: "Carriers of [Order], Professionists, both of them are the strongest against monsters"
"That's not it" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "I'm asking about the technological weapons used before the Apocalypse"
"Ah, that, I say, Xiao Gu, you don't even know that?" Li Da Jun appeared doubtful.
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head: "I haven't studied much, I started working in the fishing industry when I was 12, so I don't know much"
Li Da Jun looked at his disappointed expression and felt a little embarrassed.
"Hah, it's fine if you haven't studied much, since your abilities are so impressive, you can learn by yourself from now on"
"Now that I think about it, the most powerful thing we humans have is naturally the nuclear bomb"
Gu Qing Shan asked in confusion: "Why don't we use the nuclear bomb to destroy those monsters?"
"It's useless" Li Da Jun lowered his voice, "those scientists said that there's some sort of power suppressing them, they said that with our current technology, it's impossible to understand the reason behind it"
"In any case, it's useless against the monsters?"
"That's right, that's exactly it, so we still have to rely on us carriers of [Order]" he looked at the three of them and added: "And you Professionists"
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, and Ye Fei Li exchanged glances.
Indeed, this is the same as my homeworld.
Powerful technological weapons can't be used.
Jang Young-ho whispered: "Impartial Goddess seems to have found something, Liao Xing knows about it"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "With the current situation, there's no way to contact Liao Xing.
At this point, a few soldiers carrying communicators on their backs ran over and saluted: "Major Li, the signal has been cut off, we don't know where the problem is, please come and take a look"
"Where's the signal cut off?" Li Da Jun asked without looking up.
"The entire city, we've tried many times just now, but there's no way to contact the outside world" the soldier's voice carried a bit of fear.
"What! Go! Quickly! "
Li Da Jun tossed the military ration away, stood up, and left with the communicators.
Gu Qing Shan, Jang Young-ho, and Ye Fei Li silently finished their meal, but Li Da Jun still hadn't returned.
It was already nighttime.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly said: "I feel … a bit uneasy"
Jang Young-ho also said: "Me too"
He showed them his arm.
The hairs on his arm all stood up.
"I only feel like this when I'm in a life-or-death situation" Jang Young-ho replied.
Ye Fei Li sighed: "Why can't I feel anything at all — — I'm just thinking about something — — why is that Ye Ru Xi interested in your sword, do you have any idea?"
"There was a time when I also wanted to obtain a sword, so I was in a daze" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts moved.
I only awakened because I obtained a Qian Qi sword.
Awakened!
Could it be that Ye Ru Xi is the same? She needs to obtain a sword in order to awaken her identity as a Deity of [Chaos]?
Gu Qing Shan asked the void of space: "Did any of you feel anything just now?"
The swords didn't respond.
Only the Chao Yin sword let out a clear chime.
"She was looking at you?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
The Chao Yin sword let out another chime.
Gu Qing Shan slowly scowled.
Why is Ye Ru Xi only looking at a single sword?
What did she sense from the Chao Yin sword?
Ye Fei Li then said: "Let's not talk about the sword for now, since we've found her, what do we do now?"
"Either we help her awaken, or we take her away, but both of these options require us to gain her trust first" Jang Young-ho replied.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to scan the surroundings.
Everything was calm.
Ye Ru Xi was standing together with the other two Generals, discussing something with a serious expression.
In front of them, the signal soldiers were all trying to contact the outside world.
Li Da Jun was lying in front of a machine, busy dismantling its outer shell.
This feels a bit strange …
Monsters surrounded the city.
Communication was cut off.
The four-armed twin-headed ape abruptly retreated.
— — where exactly did it go wrong?
Unfortunately, there's too little information to be able to determine anything.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then stood up and said:
"Let's go, we're going to take a look at the giant snake's corpse and look for clues"
…
Night had fallen.
The plane was quickly flying under the cover of the night.
Occasionally, a few small-scale apocalyptic monsters would fly up to check the situation, then quickly fly away.
Very rarely, they didn't attack the plane, but instead seemed to be escorting it.
On the plane.
The pilot's communicator was turned on, making his final report:
"'Brown Bear 1' has entered the furthest range, attack may commence, awaiting instructions"
A voice resounded from the communicator:
"Attack authorized"
"Understood"
The call ended.
The pilot turned on the fire-control system, took a deep breath, and muttered: "May God protect those innocent people"
He pressed the blinding red button.
A tactical nuclear missile left the plane and whistled across the sky, heading for a distant city.
