Jiang Tianqing's arrival had an immediate effect: half an hour later, the entire allied army had left camp and was moving toward Yin City's southwestern exit.
The torrential rain made movement difficult. The roads had been badly damaged by the earthquake; the broad streets had almost vanished, replaced by narrow, winding, pothole-ridden paths. Everyone's pace was greatly affected.
The five-thousand-man force stretched into a long column, slowly advancing through the downpour. They stayed close together, but even so, the sheer volume of rain reduced visibility to a terrible degree. Low-level New Humans could see only the backs of those directly ahead of them; anything farther away was a blur.
Fortunately, few Abominations remained in Yin City after the war. Any that did were likely in the northern war zone, while the southwestern area had already been completely cleared. Thus, although the column moved slowly and cooperation among them was weak, they were relatively safe. Unless another sudden natural disaster struck, there would not be much danger.
The only thing requiring attention was the vital signs of the first-tier New Humans in the group!
The war had inflicted devastating casualties on the allied army, while the Black Rain after the earthquake had directly infected ordinary people and turned them into zombies. The five thousand people currently in the allied army were all New Humans who had survived life-and-death trials. The two thousand allied soldiers apart from the Wolf Fang Regiment were, moreover, a group of elites selected from the five regiments after this All-Out War.
But no one dared guarantee that the Black Rain would not infect first-tier New Humans...
Chu Han walked beside the long column, black rainwater running down his cheeks and giving off a rotten stench.
"Where did you send Jiang Tianqing?" Duan Jiangwei asked as he came
