Zhang Mingzhen Was Moved, Bringing One Person Peace at a Time

And at this time...

Gao Linzhi's gaze had already turned towards them.

The rapid pace of events was actually beyond his expectations.

Of course, this won't harm him.

During the journey, Zheng Guohua said in a heavy tone, "It's all our fault for dragging you down."

"If I had tried harder in the game, maybe I could have awakened my real-world abilities, and things wouldn't be like this now..."

This was the first time he had felt regret for not having fully committed to improving his strength.

If I had known this would happen, I should have made time to become stronger, instead of being forced to flee by my two sons.

"Dad, don't say that."

"With Berserker me here, how could I not protect the three of us?"

The youngest son, Zheng Yingcai, tried to comfort him in a lighthearted tone.

The eldest son, Zheng Yingjie, retorted, "I don't need your protection."

"The Priest has his own ways of saving his life. If he can perform resurrection in reality in the future, you might have to beg me for help."

"Come on, brother, with your fighting power, it's probably not even as good as Dad's punches and kicks," Zheng Yingcai couldn't help but retort with a laugh.

Mother Chen Suxin quickly interrupted, "What time is it? You two still have the mind to bicker?"

"How much further? If there are more Warcraft later, don't worry about us, you guys go first."

"Our family can't all perish here."

Her greatest fear was becoming a burden to her son; she would rather risk her own life than drag them down with her.

Zheng Yingcai raised his head and said, "Mom, don't say unlucky things."

"Even if there are hundreds of them, I can take them down with a single sword strike!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than a rustling sound began to move in the shadows ahead—a swarm of snakes and beasts were converging from all directions, a dark mass blocking their path.

"Brother, you protect Mom and Dad, I'll clear the way!"

"Alright, be careful! I'm ready to heal you at any time. Fight as you go, don't stop! If you run out of mana, just say so, I have some potions with me!"

The family of four was suddenly attacked on their way to Zhang Mingzhen's residence.

At that moment, Zhang Mingzhen also noticed their movements from afar.

"Who are those people...? They seem to be moving this way."

"That drone from before, it probably belonged to them too... A family of four, two superpowered individuals, are Chuangxin brothers?"

He watched from afar, as if observing a play that had nothing to do with him.

He had no intention of saving anyone.

If they can break into the defensive formation, then they are capable; if they cannot, he will not make a move.

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi couldn't help but feel that he had made the right choice in selecting the person.

Zhang Mingzhen, being a time traveler, indeed lacked any extra compassion.

In times of peace, compassion is a good thing; it can reduce friction and help people work together.

But in chaotic times, those with more compassion are often the first to die.

Look at those chaotic times, those who cannibalize, kidnap, and band together are the ones who survive first; those with high moral standards and who sympathize with others often become prey for others.

The current situation Zhang Mingzhen's judgment—the higher-ups are clearly no longer able to quickly resolve the snake problem.

Unexpectedly, the real world couldn't withstand even the slightest hint of danger from this God's Domain Game.

This is completely different from games.

In the game, players can revive, escape, use potions for healing, and rely on powerful NPCs.

But in reality, a person dies when they are killed.

However, the power of the upper echelons is limited, and they must prioritize protecting important figures, making it impossible to take care of everyone.

Even if you can mobilize tens of millions of troops, the Warcraft are elusive, roaming everywhere, and are not afraid of death, so they can gather at any time.

It will only keep your army running around in circles.

Moreover, creatures that roam underground, such as snakes and rats, are even more troublesome.

Taking several nearby districts as examples, many residents have already fallen victim to the virus.

In more densely populated areas, the casualties are likely to be even greater.

An emergency announcement was playing on a loop on the television.

This time, as expected, the higher-ups no longer promised to send rescue teams, but instead called on those with superpowers to proactively gather in their garrison areas and work together to resist.

"It seems we can't count on the higher-ups... The number of the dead is probably countless."

"Could Flesh Nest form there again...?"

Zhang Mingzhen still harbored thoughts of the Rare Tier medicine that could "Resurrection Medicine."

However, judging from the spreading trend of the serpent beasts, if it were to give birth to a catastrophic core that breeds treasures like the last plague, it would probably require the lives of the entire city as a sacrifice—and what we have now is far from enough.

Just as he had expected, the upper echelons of Ling City were now in a state of utter chaos.

Not only did they fail to contain the spread of the snake beasts, but they also suffered heavy losses in their force, which consisted of many superhumans.

Because these serpent beasts are too terrifying.

The "God's Domain" forum was already buzzing with discussion.

Most people are blaming the incompetence of those in power, which led to heavy civilian casualties.

"The scale of this snake infestation is so large, and despite the clear warning signs, the higher authorities were completely powerless to respond. It's truly disappointing."

"I've lost faith in those above me; they only care about people who aren't ordinary."

"Yeah, for ordinary people, it's a good thing, no need to queue, impossible triangle."

"Why would they really care about the lives of ordinary people like us? Resources are limited; they need to prioritize protecting certain Celestial Dragons."

"That's right, it's better to join a reliable guild. At least members can look out for each other, feel at ease, and support and contribute to one another."

"That's right, it seems we really need to find a big guild to join. Being alone is too unsafe; if something happens, there's no one to help us."

"Ling City, hold on! Don't give up!"

"Hold on? How long can you hold on?"

"The rescue effort has already stalled, what's the point of not giving up... Is there any chance of a miracle?"

"Hmph, haven't you all realized it yet? This is the apocalypse! In apocalyptic novels, whoever expects rescue is the one who ends up dying!"

"That's right, this isn't an ordinary flood disaster; it only affects one place while other places remain safe."

Zhang Mingzhen browsed the forum messages. He wasn't sure if the so-called miracle existed, but it was a fact that Ling City was now the focus of attention.

Given enough time, this supposedly Safe Zone that he has hidden will eventually be exposed.

Trouble will surely follow.

Left with no other choice, he turned his gaze to the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python enjoying a steak in the living room and decided to share his current "Spirit Strike" skill with it.

He had previously used skill points to level up "Spirit Strike" to the maximum level.

This has become his most widespread method of group attack.

The attack range of the max-level Spirit Strike skill is significantly increased.

In potentially lethal situations, it can strike up to thirty-six targets in a single salvo, making it comparable in power to a cruise missile.

After sharing his skills with the dragon python, he commanded it to go out and clear out the snake beasts that were rampaging in the Ling City area.

This way, we can avoid making this part too prominent.

At this moment, he realized that the family of four had entered the range of the defensive formation and were resting inside—but now only three of them remained.

Chen Suxin unfortunately got lost among the snakes...

This poor yet great woman was bitten by a venomous snake on her journey. Seeing that her eldest son was about to carry her on his back to continue the journey, she did not want to burden her family. Instead, she resolutely jumped into the swarm of snakes and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Zhang Mingzhen fell silent upon seeing this.

This reminded him of his parents in this life, who were also people who would risk their lives to protect him.

With that in mind, he finally made his move—after all, he wasn't a pawn of the Dark faction, but a transmigrator who was somewhat cold-hearted but still possessed some humanity.

Unbeknownst to the three men, a long-range healing spell was cast on the woman.

Next, another protective gear was used.

The two sides were not actually far apart, but thanks to the "Yin Yang Messenger" talent, Zhang Mingzhen's spell range was very far.

However, none of this was seen by the three of them.

At this moment, the three men's eyes immediately turned red. In the end, Zheng Guohua suppressed his grief and quickly left with his two sons.

Only after finally reaching the Safe Zone of the defensive array and confirming that the serpent beasts were no longer approaching did they collapse to the ground and weep uncontrollably.

Zheng Guohua has maintained a clean reputation for many years, and although his marriage to Chen Suxin was arranged by their families, they have developed a deep affection for each other.

The sudden loss of his wife seemed to age him considerably, and he lost most of his will to live. If it weren't for his two sons, he probably would have collapsed long ago.

The brothers Zheng Yingjie and Zheng Yingcai, who were originally immersed in grief, knew they could not add to their father's depression when they saw him like this.

They had to pull themselves together and not let their father lose his will to live.

So Zheng Yingjie spoke first, "Dad, we're safe for now."

"My mother's spirit in heaven will be at peace if she sees this."

"You can't let her leave in an uneasy way. We both still need you. You absolutely cannot fall."

"Yes, Dad," the youngest son, Zheng Yingcai, said, forcing back tears, "The most important thing for us now is to survive, so as not to let Mom's sacrifice go to waste."

"What should we do next?"

Looking into his two sons' expectant eyes, Zheng Guohua took a deep breath, knowing that he could not wallow in grief at this moment.

"You're right."

"Let's try visiting the owner first and see if they're willing to accept us."

"Remember not to be rash."

And at this time...

Chen Suxin, however, staggered over.

A light shone from her body; it was a high-level protective item, the very rare kind.

You can get at least 5 Gold Coin at auction in the game.

To be honest, Zhang Mingzhen showed a rare moment of empathy this time: after all, his parents died in an accident.

He was working towards the resurrection of his parents.

This time, it seems the four of them were caught in the crossfire.

The Zheng father and son stared at what they were seeing in disbelief.

Zheng Guohua immediately rushed over and hugged his wife tightly.

"You're alright, that's great!"

"Mom, who saved you?"

"I don't know either, but I saw a light coming from this villa." Chen Suxin was also in a daze. The snake devouring her, the light before death, and her concern for her child made her extremely complicated.

She almost knelt down before the villa owner.

Just as the four members of the Zheng family were able to catch their breath...

Other areas of Ling City remain mired in misery.

In sparsely populated neighborhoods, the tracks of snakes and beasts can still be clearly seen.

The densely populated area had long been overrun by snakes, with writhing black shadows everywhere, and many residents had given up hope.

They believed that this place was about to follow in the footsteps of Xuancheng.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the sky.

A colossal winged beast descended from the sky, unleashing countless Wind Blades that annihilated swarms of serpentine beasts on the ground.

It simultaneously flaps its broad wings, using powerful physical attacks to repeatedly ram into areas densely populated with snake-like beasts.

Sensing the threat, the snakes swarmed towards the giant beast to fight back, but they were unable to inflict any effective damage and instead perished rapidly under the beast's fierce onslaught.

This unusual activity was quickly detected by the upper echelons of Ling City.

As large numbers of serpent beasts surged toward the location of the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python, the pressure in other areas suddenly eased.

Many families who still have the means have begun to organize a counterattack.

Officials also deployed a swarm of drones to hunt down the snakes while tracking their movements, capturing footage of the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python efficiently clearing out the herd—sometimes sweeping with its long tail and body, sometimes releasing sharp Wind Blade.

At this point, the events of the past come to light.

There was a time when, for various reasons, ordinary people did not have access to drones.

Otherwise, at least we could have identified which routes lead to escape.

Now, the numerical advantage of the snake swarm is useless against this high-level dragon beast, and the threat is being gradually brought under control.

The Ling City player immediately uploaded the incident, along with the battle footage, to the forum.

Most players in Zone 3 had witnessed this famous battle pet, and the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python was quickly identified.

"Players from all three zones have collectively confirmed: It's definitely the Chongxing Azure-Scaled Dragon Python, the pet of the legendary player Chongxing! There's no doubt about it!"

"What does that mean?"

"Mean...?"

"The Chongxing is in Ling City!"

"He's from Ling City! I declare that from today onwards I am a resident of Ling City. I'm packing my bags and heading over there."

"Don't make a sound upstairs, I'm already on my way."

"You guys are moving way too fast! Are you even human?"

"I never imagined that the people of Ling City could actually escape from such a desperate situation and witness a miracle."

"We must never give up hope until the very last moment!"

"In times of crisis, even the great god doesn't need to take action personally; his companions alone are enough."

No one expected things to end this way.

Just when everyone had given up hope and thought that Ling City would repeat the same mistake as Xuancheng, a powerful figure single-handedly turned the tide.

"Saying 'one hand' might not be accurate—that person never even showed up; it was only his war beast that made the move."

They didn't know that Zhang Mingzhen's intention in intervening was not to save people.

Firstly, they don't want their self-imposed Safe Zone to become overly prominent.

Secondly, I was also deeply moved by the mother's actions, which led me to choose to save her.

He is, after all, a human being, not a robot; he cannot be completely rational.

One person commented, "It seems that he intended to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that once his battle beast appeared, it would be no different from his personal presence; what needed to be revealed could not be hidden."

Two hours after the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python appeared, the snake horde disaster in Ling City was completely quelled.

The vast majority of the serpent beasts were wiped out, and the few remaining ones were also eliminated through the cooperation of the players, ensuring that there were no more hidden dangers in the city.

The city was finally pulled back from the brink of destruction.

Everyone was shocked.

A massive disaster was averted thanks to a high-level player's pet.

In contrast, modern weaponry has become quite ineffective.

Ultimately, it's not that human-made weapons are inadequate.

These Warcraft possess special powers that render modern weapons largely ineffective.

To put it simply, this is the Skyfall Game system manifesting in the real world and adding a bio-force field to these Warcraft.

This bio-force field can only be easily broken by skills and attacks that also originate from the game.

Because both sides have it.

After the incident, the Azure-Scaled Dragon Python quietly disappeared, presumably summoned back by its master.

The news of "Chongxing's " appearance in Ling City has swept across all fronts of the God's Domain like wildfire.

He most likely lives in Ling City.

Whether it's large or small guilds, or solo players, everyone is discussing the ins and outs of this incident.

For the first time, people truly realized that one person's strength could indeed Protection a city and even affect the safety of a country.

The various factions can no longer sit idly by.
