Chapter 295: Chapter 264 Crisis: Waves Siege (Vote for Monthly Ticket)

The disaster was far from over; the sunlight tearing through the dark clouds reached only the corner of the land where the Shuize base city stood.

The greater environment of the world remained severe, with countless terrifying Mysterious Evils in the wild, ever ready to bare their fangs at humanity.

The battle was far from over.

The investigators were naturally aware of this, but they couldn’t help cheering, because until today, no matter how many Mysterious Evils they killed or how many cities they defended, there was still no hope in sight.

Yes, there was no hope.

The frequency of the Mysterious Evils’ emergence rose day by day; this was the most real data, and the Investigation Bureau had tried all sorts of methods, but none could stop it.

This data directly pointed to one fact—the world would eventually be destroyed, unstoppable.

This was despairing.

Though many investigators never spoke of it, their mood had always been somewhat downcast. But today, everything had changed; they witnessed Dawnbreaker and saw hope firsthand.

The continuation of human hope!

Complacency? How could they possibly be complacent?! Having just grasped a ray of dawn, how could they let it slip away?

The investigators were now incredibly invigorated, not wanting to rest at all, no longer sleepy or having droopy eyelids, almost wishing they could work straight for three days and nights.

Filled with passion and joy, they threw themselves into their work.

...

The whole of Shuize City, the people in Shuize base city, were all cheering, immersed in excitement and joy.

The same was true for the entire Dong Huang.

"At ten-thirty-three yesterday morning, the Shuize base city lit up the dawn, tearing through the dark clouds that had enveloped our skies for days on end," the news anchor reported.

"Now, let us interview some of the citizens within Shuize base city."

In the news footage, the reporter connected with and interviewed several passing citizens, all with smiles on their faces. When asked about the moment of Dawnbreaker yesterday, they became even more excited, radiating with light, vividly describing the shocking scene.

But no description was necessary.

Even without reproducing the breathtaking sight of yesterday’s Dawnbreaker, the golden radiance tearing through the sky and showering down on the earth...

Just the simple act of the camera lifting to record this moment’s view, and presenting it before people...

Was shock enough.

The sky at this moment was a clear blue without a hint of fluff, as if all impurities had been filtered out, shining with resplendence.

It was unbelievable, just looking up at it was enough to stir the emotions.

The internet had already exploded with discussions about the sky above Shuize base city.

Exhilaration! Anticipation!

Those few who were strongly opposed to the mass migration were now at a loss for words.

Instead, there were countless petitions from people hoping that it would soon be their city’s turn. They didn’t want to spend another moment in their increasingly dangerous homeland!

...

...

Quick, it was naturally not possible.

The immense machinery of the state of Dong Huang was now operating at full speed; nuts and bolts tightened, gears turning without a moment’s rest.

The Investigation Bureau of course wanted to move faster.

But for safety, everything had to be done according to the established plan.

While ordinary people were jubilant, the investigators dared not let their guard down.

At this moment, with the light of dawn shining and Dawn’s Light enveloping Shuize base city, the environmental safety within the base city had increased a thousandfold. Even if one or two Mysterious Evils were born occasionally, they couldn’t cause any serious troubles, being eliminated by the promptly arriving investigators before they could emerge from the dark corners.

It was quite easy; the guard within the base city didn’t need to be as strong anymore.

But a vacation was out of the question, whether for the investigators, special ops soldiers, or the warriors of the Everburning Flame.

The freed forces of Shuize base city went partly to the south, west, and other regions to assist with the relocation of the population.

The rest went to the surroundings of Shuize base city, clearing as many Mysterious Evils as possible to prevent a large-scale Evil Tide from forming.

"Boom—"

In a mountainous area shrouded in dark clouds and faint mist, a bare-chested man, muscles forged like refined alloy, unleashed a Cannon Punch.

With a low shout accompanying the punch, it pierced the body of a four-star Calamity Level Mysterious Evil, and without losing momentum, continued to destroy trees and rocks in its path, leaving behind a meter-wide, lengthy ditch filled with compacted mud.

"Humph! Calamity Level Mysterious Evil is nothing more than this."

"Next target is..."

Sable Thunder did not bother with the remaining Mysterious Evils around him; his power was naturally reserved for dealing with the big guys.

He sprinted rapidly, quickly leaving most of the charging Mysterious Evils behind. As for the remaining few that were akin to large and small cats, he dispatched them with a few pokes.

Once he confirmed the safety of his surroundings, Sable Thunder was about to check the mission map in his mind, but suddenly, he sensed danger looming. Turning his head, he followed his intuition and looked towards the distant mountaintop shrouded in dark clouds.

Startled birds took flight.

Wisps of mist drifted, seemingly growing denser, with shadows of monstrous creatures emerging one after another from the other side of the mountain.

Sable Thunder’s frown deepened, and he swiftly employed his tracking skill for Mysterious Evils. What appeared in his darker field of vision was...

A dense swarm of Mysterious Evils!

One after another, the ragged-winged, humanoid birds burst forth from behind the mountain.

This was a Three-Star Mysterious Evil, Xing Jing Lei took a cursory glance and counted sixty to seventy of them, but there were even more pouring down from the mountain.

Flesh giants marching forward, white-boned knights charging, Stitched Monsters stumbling ahead.

And so on, almost squeezed together, an entire black tide of evil covered the mountain and spread downwards, while on the other side of the mountain, the enormous silhouettes of Calamity Level aberrations slowly became visible.

"Sss—"

Even Xing, who considered himself fearless, felt a tingling on his scalp.

He wasn’t afraid of the Calamity Level aberrations, he could easily kill one, and he could comfortably defeat two or three, even the more terrifying Hell-grade Aberrations were no match for him, Xing.

But,

there were too many monstrous creatures! The Evil Tide was too ferocious!

Xing had faced the doors to the Ghastly Realm and the waves of Mysterious Evil alone before, he had even single-handedly broken through the tide, but at this moment, he too was apprehensive. Before him, the tide was unlike any he had faced before, not just hundreds, thousands, or a couple of thousand small tides.

Instead, they were innumerable, at the top of the mountain, on the east side, and on the west side as well.

Unable to deduce with his mathematical skills, Xing quickly entered the mission map.

His location was deep in the mountains, far away from the Shuize base city, much deeper than the other flame warriors or special operations team members.

Around the map were task indicators that were a striking red.

Large groups, extra-large groups, countless.

"Countless" indicated a number in the thousands. The task indicators here seemed to have reached their limit, thus, Xing saw that in the vicinity of the various large and small task indicators, the red marks were just as dense, quickly advancing forward.

"Damn!"

"Just how many are there, in the end!"

Retreating without a fight wasn’t Xing’s style, so gritting his teeth, he sprinted to the top of a nearby hill, focusing only on the few huge shadows within the oppressive black tide.

They were coming, and they were coming fast!

The tide was sprinting! Xing kept his eyes on one of the huge shadows, leaping from the top of the mountain like a giant bird spreading its wings.

He used the Illusory Void Step in succession, his body flickering like a shadow, his signature move in this skill was just one trait—recklessness—as he ran on air, creating sonic booms. He charged straight towards the head of a Four-Armed Giant demon, his Burst combining with a skillful heavy hit. His massive fist exploded a ring of gray fog, caving in the car-sized head before swelling from the inside and then, with one punch, it burst violently.

The black, the green, various bloods splattered everywhere.

Xing continued to step on the air, avoiding falling into the midst of the aberrations, but still, giant birds kept diving at him. Dodging to the side, he took them down, one punch each.

He didn’t care about the splash of black-green blood, letting it fall on his metal-tempered muscles, sizzling upon impact, yet... it failed to penetrate his defenses.

This was Xing’s reliance on daring to take the heads of Calamity Level aberrations within the tide of evil.

He couldn’t dodge so many attacks, so he simply didn’t dodge, which was his usual way of fighting.

A bone spike was shot at him.

Xing didn’t dodge; his muscles tremored, deflecting the spike with a clanging sound reminiscent of metal clashing against metal.

But when dozens of bone spikes shot towards him, when dozens or hundreds of streaks of ghastly flames drifted towards him, Xing’s expression changed and he didn’t dare to resist recklessly. Even though his copper skin and steel bones were strong enough, his special shorts were not.

He could only dodge.

Sometimes he would fall into the group of aberrations, slaughtering wildly.

Sometimes he would step into the air and leap out of the encirclement.

Sometimes he would display the demeanor of a fierce man, blasting the heads of Calamity Level aberrations.

However,

after a period of intense fighting and when he began to gasp for breath, Xing realized that not only had the surrounding Mysterious Evil creatures not decreased in number, but there were even more of them.

These creatures covered the sky and the earth, reminding him of the fear of being dominated by the never-ending tide of Mysterious Evil while leveling in the Ghastly Realm.

"Damn it!"

Xing took to the air, this time not charging towards the conspicuous shadows, but running away—no, this was a tactical retreat, he needed to bring this precious intelligence back.

But by now he was already trapped within the Evil Tide, and even with Cannon Punch clearing the way, he couldn’t blast through the tide of aberrations in his field of vision.

Xing couldn’t remember how many aberrations he had killed, nor how many Energy Recovery Potions he had consumed.

Just when his face began to pale, barely able to hold on and ready to call for reinforcements from his mentor, the aberrations in front of him finally cleared.

From the trench created by his Cannon Punch, Xing burst out at top speed. Glancing back, he saw that it was still a dark mass behind him, with countless aberrations charging towards him, even the few Calamity Level giants were converging on him.

No longer entertaining thoughts of battle, he ran as fast as he could.

Once he finally shook off the wave behind him, Xing propped himself up on his knees to catch his breath. What he saw were the wounds all over his bare torso and the remains of his special shorts, now torn open with only strands remaining.

Damn!

...

Before a certain Xing surnamed powerhouse discovered the Evil Tide, Fang You had already noticed it with Xiaohuan’s reminder.

But he didn’t say anything.

Instructor Fang watched silently, concluding that even a five-times-Awakened powerhouse like Xing Jing Lei, once trapped in a large-scale Mysterious Evil Tide, would also be in danger of running out of strength and perishing.

And such large-scale tides were not only in this location, but there were several other places as well.

On the east side, on the west side, on the south and the north side, countless small tides converged and rapidly surged towards Shuize base city.

In the process of rushing forward, they were still absorbing the surrounding Mysterious Evil, continuously and endlessly growing stronger.

Growing like a snowball rolling down a hill.

And this was just the first phase of the Dawnbreaker Plan, the greatest danger facing the base city.
