Located in the crisscrossing undercurrents of a unique underground lake connecting inland cities, also known as the "Blood Net," many ships are sailing into the darkness.
One of the massive ships had six striking red wings hanging from its sails, making it appear as if it could take flight at any moment.
The ships were almost entirely filled with soldiers clad in silver armor.
Standing at the bow of the ship was a woman with a pair of wings on her back. Her eyes were unusually sharp, and a thin scar on her face was particularly eye-catching.
At that moment, a soldier jogged up to her and said, bowing his head, "The Huizhou City Special Affairs Bureau has lost contact."
"Does Your Excellency wish to continue?"
"There's a strong possibility that Eerie Monsters have already infiltrated the underground river. Our equipment and strength can barely hold them off, but other ships might not be able to..."
The woman narrowed her eyes, a powerful aura emanating from her, and coldly declared, "We have no intention of backing down. Justice will ultimately judge everything. So what if that Child of Destiny possesses extraordinary abilities?"
"We are the Order of Justice!!"
The soldier remained silent for two seconds, then turned and shouted, "Full speed ahead!"
"Before dawn rises, we, the Justice, will surely deliver those suffering in Huizhou City!"
In an instant~
The entire ship was like a sharp sword slicing through the dark river.
The water surface surged with waves.
Many of the Special Affairs Bureau' ships moored alongside the vessel were stunned. Was it really necessary to risk everything to rescue people?
Watching the ships of Order of Justice gradually disappear into the distance.
The Special Affairs Bureau's ships did not speed up; in fact, they deliberately slowed down.
A man in a red robe stood at the bow of the ship. If Li Chen could see him, he would definitely recognize him, because they had fought each other during the Academy Tournament, and Li Chen had almost killed him.
It was none other than the Shi Family Saint Son.
A year has passed, and his strength has now reached the Calamity Realm, making him a special agent guarding the city.
However, now that they are close to Huizhou City, they can use the Blood Net to travel between major cities and support each other.
Of course, he also had a specific target to support.
The agent standing nearby, looking nervous, walked over to the Shi Family Saint Son and whispered, "Sir, is this really a good idea?"
"What if we send people of Order of Justice to scout ahead, and they are all wiped out?"
"If they are facing the enemy and we are caught off guard, Lord Light Fiend will blame us."
The eyes of the Shi Family Saint Son seemed to gleam with a dark red glint of blood as he glanced at the agent beside him and said softly, "Are you trying to disobey orders?"
"The Light Fiend isn't here right now, so I'm in charge here. Besides, the task of supporting Huizhou City shouldn't have fallen to me in the first place. After all, who wants to go to a city attacked by the Eerie Tide?"
"Of course, it's not that I don't want to go, but the problem is that there's a scary guy waiting for us in Huizhou City."
The agent standing nearby seemed to feel a chilling aura pierce his body, and his teeth chattered as he asked, "Then why should we go?"
"We're just dealing with the Eerie Monsters fleets that have appeared in the Blood Net; these things are better left to the Twelve Zodiac and the Order of Justice... We're all too weak."
Going there will only cause more casualties.
The Shi Family Saint Son stared into the darkness, his voice low and menacing. "So you want to watch Huizhou City be completely destroyed, and then Eerie Monsters spread little by little from the Blood Net, until finally humanity completely loses this underground passage?"
"The consequence is that if any of the cities built by Human Race fall in the future, no one can quickly arrive to provide support."
Do you think our lives are more important, or the lives of millions of others?
The agent fell silent...
Every life is valuable and precious.
But if they don't go, even more people will sacrifice themselves. Perhaps at this very moment, there are still people in Huizhou City fighting desperately against the Eerie Monsters, while he was just trying to escape.
After all, this is the kind of thinking a person should have.
While escape wasn't the best option, it was the only choice they could think of when they knew this trip might be their last.
They were too weak, so weak that only after witnessing the battles between the strong and the onslaught of Eerie Tides did they realize whether their own strength was enough to make a ripple in this world.
The strong are naturally not afraid, but it would be a lie for them to say they are not afraid. Even though behind them are the lights of Human Race, their own relatives and loved ones, they must still be rational!
Who the hell is so bored that they think they're invincible, running to the front lines to fight to the death, only to kill an Eerie Monsters in the end?
War is cruel; death can happen every second, every moment, and he himself could be the next.
The Shi Family Saint Son did not notice the change in the emotions of the special agent behind him. Instead, he clenched his fists, his expression became solemn, and he murmured, "It seems that in the end, there is still a Fate battle waiting for us. Heaven and earth do not allow the birth of demons, but you, who are called the Fate, have appeared. Perhaps this is the calamity of the Human Race."
Accompanied by the sound of waves.
The dark ship also sailed into the darkness.
He was followed by numerous speedboats, each carrying fully equipped special agents.
Support from Huizhou City is coming...
Meanwhile, Huizhou City had quieted down, and the smoke of battle had been washed away by the torrential rain.
With a smile, the disaster approached the entrance to the underground Blood Net step by step, causing countless people to lose their footing and fall into the icy, bone-chilling dark river.
A green haze appeared around him.
Many people began to faint, and some even started screaming.
Zai smiled and said, "Death is easy."
As the last scream faded away, Zai's gaze turned to the dark river. This must be the Blood Net Cang Yue had mentioned?
With the borders breached, humanity has built underground tunnels over the past year, connecting countless cities. Now, most cities trade goods through the underground Blood Net, as the outside world is too dangerous due to the invasion of Eerie Monsters. Moreover, it is undoubtedly a huge blow to merchants who sell their goods. When the risks outweigh the benefits, most people will choose to give up.
Thus, the Blood Net came into being.
With the help of countless Sequence User, building an underground river was indeed simple, after all, it concerned the lives and interests of many people, so of course no one dared to slack off.
Many cities even lack food sources altogether.
They can only rely on the Blood Net to replenish resources and form trade, otherwise even more people will die.
This disaster was caused by the release of Plague.
Seal the entrance to the Blood Net; every bit of time they can buy them is a good opportunity.
As for the other side...
They are trying to make a hole in the city wall.
With countless Eerie Monsters allowed to enter, Huizhou City is on the verge of collapse. Even if humanity successfully reclaims the city, it will require a huge cost to repair these massive holes.
Even many buildings in Huizhou City have been destroyed.
Whether it will still be habitable in the future is another matter entirely.
