Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~

Under the torrential rain, the roads and streets were covered in blood.

Children, the elderly... women—those who couldn't escape all perished under the sword of lust.

Looking up at the sky, his eyes were bloodshot, and a hoarse, low voice rang out.

"They sing praises to God, they sing praises to peace, but I want this song to stop..."

A flicker of emotion flashed deep within Zai's eyes as he passed by him, his voice hoarse as he said, "It's over. Let the other Eerie Monsters take over."

Our mission is complete.

He hesitated to move.

He let the rain wash over his body, his feet already covered in blood.

Ling frowned at Zai and asked, "How many people did he kill?"

Zai remained silent for a few seconds, then slightly clenched his two fingers.

Not two hundred, but twenty thousand... and he hacked his way through with his weapon, one strike at a time. Although he was now Eerie Monsters, his consciousness had already sunk into a sea of slaughter.

He needs to calm down on his own.

Zero nodded, his gaze turning to the city center where the Sequence User were rushing to the battlefield. He asked, "Disaster, has your Plague already spread?"

Zai smiled slightly and said, "Of course, whether it's fog or heavy rain, Plague is the melody of death; the living will only die in pain."

They never acted with the intention of killing a single person.

It's all of them.

This was also Li Chen's order. The first step in attacking a city is to breach the city gates, but they skipped that step. The second step was a massacre; all that was needed was to annihilate any force in the city capable of resisting.

Their goal was to capture the city, and killing was merely a necessary step in the process; the number of deaths and injuries was irrelevant to them.

Suddenly, a rocket shot out with a "whoosh" and flew directly at Yu, who had been standing still.

It pierced through flesh and blood, yet he felt nothing at all.

He glanced at the rocket embedded in his chest, then looked in the direction it had come from.

The rooftop was already filled with white-robed Sequence User, and the one who fired the arrow was a woman. She looked at Yu with disgust and lightly plucked the bowstring with her fingers.

In an instant -

Another launch.

This arrow acted as a fuse, and all the Sequence User immediately drew identical bows and arrows from their backs and fired them.

It seems as if they can't feel the pain.

His entire body was riddled with arrows, yet he did not fall. Instead, he slowly walked step by step toward the group of people, a broken arrowhead still lodged in one of his eyeballs, while his other scarlet eye stared intently at them.

With a loud "boom".

His figure vanished from the spot, and before he could even move, the blood and rainwater on his body had reacted; he was still in the shape of a person, which shows how fast he moved.

Zai rubbed his forehead helplessly and said, "They really aren't afraid of death. Even I would avoid these humans in their current state of lust. They still dare to provoke them, but at least it saves me the trouble of taking action."

"Then I'll go wander around first, and while I'm at it, spread the Plague and catch some little rats. I'll leave this place to you."

Zero glanced at him, but let him go.

The city is already riddled with holes and is on the verge of collapse with the passage of time; in reality, it has little to do with them anymore.

It's extremely fast for several people from the Calamity Realm to attack a city. After all, there are so many inland cities, and people from the Calamity Realm aren't like cabbages. Unlike the border regions, which are constantly at war and filled with desperate outlaws, they are naturally much stronger than those in inland cities.

In some cities, having even one expert at the Calamity Realm is considered quite good, as they can be regarded as a main force. Most of the experts in these smaller cities are still at the Withered Sea Realm.

Now all we need to do is wait for our My Lord to deal with those people.

Cang Yue lightly leaped down from above, landing gracefully on the road, and waved to Ling.

Ling turned her little face away somewhat reluctantly, but her body still obediently floated down; after all, human food was quite delicious.

Although it does not contain as much energy as humans.

However, it is extremely addictive.

Zero frowned, looking at the supermarket in front of her. Her small hand clenched, and she struggled internally, muttering, "No, it would be too embarrassing if my My Lord saw this."

"No... maybe just a tiny bit... no..."

Seeing Ling's conflicted expression, Cang Yue didn't care whether he ate or not, and smiled as she walked in alone.

Ling hesitated for a few seconds, then, looking at Cang Yue's retreating figure, seemed to have thought of a way that wouldn't be shameful, and followed her inside.

Potato chips... Here I come...

Located in the very center of the city is a giant circular wheel; the Special Affairs Bureau is not built on the street, but buried underground.

Now, the area around the roulette wheel is filled with the sounds of elevators running, and countless people are queuing to enter. In order to rescue people, the Special Affairs Bureau has opened up access, allowing ordinary people to enter the underground refuge, saving as many as they can.

After all, the entire city had become a victim of the war.

These ordinary people have no ability to resist.

That's all we can do.

In front of the projector, one researcher after another operated a computer, and in front of them was a full map of Huizhou City.

The entire wall that blocked the Eerie Monsters had the city laid out before them, but they couldn't stop it and could only cower underground, trembling in fear.

At that moment, a man rushed in, pushing open the door in a panic, shouting, "Sir, we can't hold them off!"

There are too many people!

There are probably still about two thousand people gathered outside.

"The Eerie Monsters' attack is almost reaching the city center, and one of the sent-out Judicators has returned... but he is nearing his end!!"

He said this Eerie Tide didn't appear suddenly!

"It was someone who did it on purpose!"

The officer, dressed in a white military uniform with a cloak draped over his back, looked unusually serious and asked, "Any other intelligence?"

The man lowered his head. "No... no."

The officer took a deep breath, looked down at the people below who were still struggling to control everything in the city that could be used as weapons, hesitated for a few seconds, but still shouted for them to stop.

"Please stop for now."

Immediately, all the Sequence User in the entire hall turned to look at him.

Many people looked on with anticipation and hope, thinking they had received some good news.

However, the officer's next action caused everyone present to fall silent.

The officer took off his military cap, bowed slightly at a ninety-degree angle, and then his voice rang out.

"Gentlemen, we have no support today."

"I can only rely on my own strength to defend the city, which has been mostly invaded. I know this is a difficult task, after all, it's the first time I've encountered such a situation, it's my first time as a special agent, and it's my first time facing Eerie Tide. My wife and children are still waiting for me at home."

"I'm scared too, I'm afraid of dying, but if even I'm scared, what's the point of this city?!"

"Aren't all the hopes our families place on us?"

Someone exclaimed, "Well said!!"

"If we don't defend this city, who will?!"

"My brothers are willing to risk their lives to accompany you!"
