Chapter 605: Chapter 604: The Abandoned Hundred Thousand People

Bang!

As an infected being burst open, Shao Zifeng realized a massive change had occurred in these infected creatures from those he’d seen before.

Shao Zifeng stared intently at the infected beings that resembled hunchbacked ghosts, the blue light spots in his peripheral vision showing no reaction whatsoever.

What the hell are these things?

Unfortunately, no one could answer the questions in his mind.

Meanwhile, the soldier suspected of having divine powers was gradually losing ground; despite his strong combat ability, it was challenging to fight off multiple opponents, and soon he was besieged by several mutated infected beings.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng scanned the central meeting area but couldn’t find Chen Yixin due to the sheer number of people. He had no choice but to command Lingling to charge down.

The Iron-eating Giant Panda gave him a glance, and the bronze spear whistling through the air cleared a path.

Shao Zifeng gave it a slight nod, and as Lingling was about to collide with the infected, he leaped to the ground.

Bang!

Several monstrously ugly creatures, caught off guard, were flung away by Lingling. Before they could scramble up from the ground, an illusory mini tidal wave appeared out of thin air, and with the sound of crashing waves, it slammed them deep into the earth. However, several uninfected commoners were also swept away by the phantom waves, much to Shao Zifeng’s chagrin.

The venue, with its hundred thousand participants, was in utter chaos; hardly anyone noticed Shao Zifeng’s arrival. However, several nearby monsters did and charged toward him with malice in their eyes, using hands and feet alike.

Shao Zifeng watched them approach with a calm gaze, space rifts of varying sizes appearing behind him.

Lingling, a deer, and Beibei transformed into a white cat appeared beside him in succession.

Whoosh!

Shao Zifeng raised his hand to grab the Whale Horn Blade shooting out from a space rift. His icy blue eyes were devoid of any emotion, and his illusory veil-like ear fins fluttered as if stirred by an unseen breeze.

"Kill them."

"As you wish," replied the tall and slender Lingling Bauhinia, hovering in mid-air. Her delicate face was expressionless, and her hair, resembling the Milky Way, flowed behind her like the goddess from myths: "In the name of the Duke, I, Lingling Bauhinia, will judge your sins with the stars in my hands, and let the glory of the Bauhinia shine in this world."

She pointed her exquisite Starlight Scepter forward lightly, and the Star Crystals floating behind her instantly shot toward the creatures.

Bang, bang, bang!

The Star Crystals, trailing long streams of light, crashed into the creatures, and several dazzling starlight mushroom clouds burst forth, blasting them to pieces.

The deer’s eyes, clear as jade, sparkled as little white flowers bloomed on its illusory antlers. Dozens of Life Seeds were shot in all directions, providing continuous support to the Combat Training Masters and soldiers resisting the creatures. Then, the little one raised its hooves and stepped into the void, causing ripples in the space like ripples on water.

"Yooh!"

Standing in the void, it tilted its head back and let out an ethereal deer’s call as an array of thorny vines suddenly unfolded. Within a few dozen meters, everyone was covered in thorny silhouettes—it was the deer’s skill, Thorny Halo.

After doing all this, the deer nodded at Shao Zifeng and dashed away swiftly on its slender limbs, its long flowing ribbon emanating a green glow that sprinkled down upon the earth, creating an exquisite sight.

Where it passed, vines burst from the ground, entangling those infected creatures attempting to attack humans.

"Whine~"

Lingling whimpered woefully.

Compared to the others, its situation was somewhat awkward, as aside from the ’Charge’ skill, its other skills were all large-scale. Just now, even a small-sized Wave Riding had knocked several people flying, not to mention the Energy-gathering Water Cannon and the Extreme Cold Ice Domain.

It was precisely for this reason that Shao Zifeng had not let Yaya out. Otherwise, a single Rockslide from that guy would have been more than just knocking people over.

Thinking of this, he extended his hand to rub Lingling’s big head and then recalled it back into the pet space.

Bang, bang, bang!

Star Crystals whizzed past Shao Zifeng and exploded upon hitting the Infected, leaving behind a series of spectacular mini mushroom clouds.

Clang!

Shao Zifeng drew out his Whale Horn Blade. As he prepared to join the battle, watching the chaotic scene of fleeing Infected and the panicked crowd, he suddenly remembered that Beibei seemed unusually quiet. He turned his head and saw the cat-like Beibei staring hatefully at a distant Iron-eating Giant Panda, its white fur standing on end while it made a rumbling sound.

Shao Zifeng blinked at this sight, recalling that Beibei had the same reaction last time it saw the Iron-eating Giant Panda, right?

It seemed...

At that moment, an image flashed through Shao Zifeng’s mind: When the Iron-eating Giant Panda had pressed down Li Fangyan, who had merged with a flying dragon, the very first thing she said upon opening her eyes was, "So it’s you."

The tone, slightly astonished, didn’t sound like that of a first encounter. Shao Zifeng furrowed his brow - as one of the twelve national pillars of the Great Xia, the Iron-eating Giant Panda would only patrol the borders or rotate duty at the Ting Ming Pavilion. It shouldn’t have possibly met Li Fangyan before.

"Ah!"

A scream not far away broke Shao Zifeng’s train of thought. He saw a girl having a chunk of flesh torn from her neck by an Infected. He had no time to ponder further, "Beibei."

Beibei, fixated on the Iron-eating Giant Panda, didn’t budge, hatred filling its eyes that was not usually there.

Shao Zifeng emphasized with a heavier tone, "Beibei!"

Beibei snapped out of it and looked up at him, "Meow..."

Shao Zifeng spoke faster, "Go find Yixing. Remember, protect them."

"Meow." Beibei gave the Iron-eating Giant Panda one last look and then scurried off on its short legs into the crowd, soon disappearing from sight.

Shao Zifeng turned to the Infected in the crowd, lifted his Whale Horn Blade, and his pupils turned a purple-red color.

"Lingling, let’s go!"

...

"Ridiculous!"

The long-faced elder in the Ting Ming Pavilion glared furiously at Wu Tianyan, "We still don’t know what’s happening, and you’re wasting a massive amount of manpower and resources to evacuate the entire city. What about the hundred thousand people at the central venue?"

Facing the elder’s accusation, the others present remained silent, all eyes turning to Wu Tianyan, hoping for a reasonable explanation.

Wu Tianyan’s mouth was a tight line, hands trembling slightly under the table as he spoke in a low voice after a long silence, "If the Holy Origin Society dared to strike back, I believe they must have a contingency plan. So, for the nearly ten million people in the imperial capital, sacrificing a hundred thousand, I think, is acceptable."

"You!" The long-faced elder pointed at him angrily, "Based on your feelings?"

"That’s a hundred thousand lives!!"

The roar echoed in the empty conference hall.

Wu Tianyan calmly met his gaze, "The nation’s machinery is called machinery because it requires absolute rationality and calm, as you yourself have said."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the military elders and Ms. Tang, who often supported Wu Tianyan, showed a flicker of disappointment.

Because of Wu Tianyan’s decision, all the military forces in the imperial capital, the Abnormal Administration Bureau agents, and even the Executioner Department had joined the ranks of those escorting and evacuating.

That is to say, before new troops arrived, the imperial capital simply couldn’t spare anyone for rescue operations.

The hundred thousand had been abandoned.
