Charge

"Really."

Tang Zhean sat within the army array, neither attacking nor defending.

In terms of numbers, three people and three guns in each direction was sufficient defense. If the defense line were breached, one more person wouldn't make a difference.

Moreover, Tang Zhean had always positioned himself not as a soldier or warrior, but as a researcher. He could also be a strategist. The reason he followed Lu Yuanming's clearing operation this time was simply to obtain firsthand data.

Tang Zhean's attention was now more focused on Lu Yuanming.

From a rational perspective, Lu Yuanming's actions at this moment were foolish!

Unknown enemy situation, perilous circumstances, limited and precious ammunition, a large and chaotic civilian population... all of this was enough to prove Lu Yuanming foolish and impulsive.

Indeed, if Lu Yuanming were just a simple faction leader or a powerful warrior, all of this would be evidence of his foolish impulsiveness.

However, besides being the leader of the organization, Lu Yuanming was also the Lord and Messiah in the hearts of these Europeans and Americans. In that context, this action was somewhat understandable.

Although still incredibly foolish.

This was the rational view.

Tang Zhean also knew that people were not machines; besides rationality, there were also emotional factors.

He didn't dislike true saint mothers, as long as such a person wasn't a weakling who would risk their own people's lives to show off.

"As expected, it still comes down to me!"

Tang Zhean thought silently: "This buddy is reliable; when something happens, he truly steps up. That's precisely why he needs more power. Someone who steps up with power is a hero, a heroic figure, someone who can turn the tide. Someone who steps up without power is just easy prey, a weak chicken, a saint mother. The difference is quite significant, which is why I need to assist him!"

Thinking this, Tang Zhean felt the immense weight of his mission and was filled with anticipation for the future. He became engrossed in his own emotions, engaging in self-strategy and self-reflection.

Then he saw the corridor outside the hall, littered with both monster corpses and some civilian corpses.

Two deaths. After dying in the Material World, information is reduced to Dark Matter World Creatures. What happens if one dies again in the Dark Matter World?

"If this is the afterlife, then dying again here... what will it become?"

This was Tang Zhean's lingering question when he was still in the Material World. He had originally thought that after dying in the Dark Matter World, the corpse would Vaporize, similar to Information Scatter. But in reality, corpses also appeared when dying in the Dark Matter World. This was very interesting, or rather... very terrifying.

Tang Zhean had an intuition that this might involve some truth that was Beyond Terrifying Limit...

While Tang Zhean was lost in thought, Lu Yuanming had already begun a Desperate Battle with the Monster Horde.

Lu Yuanming, who had landed on the street, was directly exposed to the surrounding Monster Horde. Hundreds of monsters swarmed him, and every moment, more monsters surged from the surrounding darkness, like an endless tide. Lu Yuanming was the steadfast Reef in this monstrous tide!

Lu Yuanming absorbed two Colorless Light Particles... this was an ability he discovered with Tang Zhean's inspiration.

He could actively absorb Colorless Light Particles, which would allow him to Explode with Powerful Combat Strength for a short period. This was also the ability of the Order of Matter that Tang Zhean spoke of. He could gain power from the Order of Matter, which also included beliefs originating from the Material World, such as these Colorless Light Particles containing the purest Blessings and Wishes.

Each additional absorption could cause Lu Yuanming's strength to explode by a geometric multiple, but the load would also increase. He could now absorb one colorless light particle to gain triple physical quality and reaction speed, lasting about ten minutes. He could also absorb two colorless light particles to increase his physical quality and reaction speed by seven times, with the duration skyrocketing to two hours.

But this came at a price. After one colorless light particle was consumed, he would be weakened for about an hour. He had also tried absorbing two colorless light particles once; once the two-hour burst ended, he would completely lose all combat power. At that time, even a child could kill him, and he would remain weak and powerless for two days, requiring protection during this period.

(So... the battle must end within two hours!)

With the absorption of two colorless light particles, faint light emanated from Lu Yuanming's entire body, resembling flames. Simultaneously, under the sevenfold increase in physical quality, the movements of all surrounding monsters appeared at least five times slower in his eyes, like super slow motion.

Lu Yuanming's semi-automatic rifle rang out, each shot hitting the eyes or the center of the forehead of the surrounding monsters. With the sevenfold physical quality boost, his arm stability and sensitivity to trajectories also improved synchronously. At this moment, he was no less than, and possibly even surpassed, Peter as a sharpshooter. Lu Yuanming's other hand held a fine steel spear, constantly thrusting forward.

Each thrust erupted with a loud noise that broke the sound barrier. Under such speed and power, no monster could withstand more than one hit, with many being cut in half.

In just a few minutes, dozens of monster corpses were piled up at Lu Yuanming's feet.

Just then, the Super Giant Skinless Monster lunged forward, its body about nine meters tall crushing towards Lu Yuanming with immense force.

Lu Yuanming saw all of this. With the fivefold slow-motion sense of time, there was no possibility of not reacting in time. As the giant monster's claws tore towards Lu Yuanming, he killed the two closest monsters with his semi-automatic rifle: one was a man-wolf lunging at him, and the other was a serpentine monster with fierce mouthparts. After shooting these two monsters, the Super Giant Skinless Monster's claws were less than a meter away from him.

In that split second, Lu Yuanming suddenly squatted down and then jumped forcefully. The ground cracked as he leaped up at least three meters high, just clearing the grasping claws. Not only that, as Lu Yuanming landed, he actually ran up the Super Giant Skinless Monster's arm. Regardless of how bumpy or shaky the arm and claws were, in less than a second, Lu Yuanming had rushed close to the Super Giant Skinless Monster's terrifying head.

Everything around him was in slow motion. Lu Yuanming even had the leisure to look at the giant monster's ferocious and terrifying face. It clearly had no features, only a face with fierce mouthparts, yet when it faced Lu Yuanming, it seemed to reveal a hint of astonishment and fear.

In a flash, Lu Yuanming's fine steel spear shot straight out, piercing the center of the giant monster's forehead with a great whistling sound. This immense force directly knocked the giant monster to the ground, the spear pinning its head firmly to the ground. The giant monster still wasn't dead for a moment, its body twitching continuously, its claws flailing.

Lu Yuanming stood firm on the ground, forcefully pulling out the fine steel spear. Then, he held the spear and forcefully chopped down towards the giant monster's neck. One chop, two chops, three chops. Each chop unleashed immense power. With his current sevenfold physical quality, his strength was comparable to these super giant monsters. Next, he grabbed the hollow of the giant monster's forehead, stepped on its body, and pulled upwards with his hand. The giant monster's head was actually torn off by him. Black blood sprayed into the air, and Lu Yuanming held the giant monster's head, looking around.

From the Super Giant Skinless Monster's attack to Lu Yuanming's jump, charge, and counter-kill, this series of actions occurred in just one to two seconds, killing the giant monster in the blink of an eye. At this time, the surrounding monsters were still swarming, but when Lu Yuanming stood up holding the giant monster's head, the monster tide immediately paused slightly. Lu Yuanming even saw some monsters hesitate, looking around at something.

(Do monsters have intelligence? No, perhaps it's instinct. Even monsters have lives, and they die when killed, so the instinct for survival would make them hesitate...)

But monsters are monsters. Lu Yuanming, however, did not hesitate. If the monsters didn't attack him, he would go and kill them.

Lu Yuanming then dropped the giant monster's head, ignoring the large amount of white light particles that emerged from the monster. He started running, charging in the opposite direction towards the monster horde.

Because he was wearing the Armor of Steel, Lu Yuanming didn't dodge or evade, directly smashing into the monster horde. Immense power erupted, and with a head-on collision, he sent several monsters flying. Then, his spear continuously thrust out, each thrust killing a monster. At the same time, the semi-automatic rifle in his other hand also kept firing, killing monsters one by one. For a time, Lu Yuanming forcefully carved a path through the monster tide, smashing it open, and his target was another super giant monster – an old friend he had been looking for.

The Super Giant Man-faced Dog.

It wasn't rare for monsters to kill humans, but for a human to chase and kill monsters, that was a rare sight.

As Lu Yuanming relentlessly charged towards the Super Giant Man-faced Dog, this Super Giant Man-faced Dog showed hesitation. Although it didn't retreat, it also didn't advance towards Lu Yuanming.

The distance between them was shortening.

At this moment, Lu Yuanming seemed more like a monster.

And this scene was being watched by newcomers constantly descending from the material world onto the surrounding buildings.

A powerful human hero.

Was charging into the monster horde!
