Shrek City—had vanished!
In the blink of an eye, this super city, which bore the dreams and hopes of countless people and housed tens of millions, had been completely erased, as though it had never existed in this world.
Those vibrant lives, those bustling streets, those millennia-old glories—all of them vanished like doodles wiped away by an eraser, leaving no trace behind.
"Beibei! Xu Sanshi! Tang Ya—!"
Wang Dong's voice echoed ceaselessly across the shattered ruins.
The once-prosperous city was now nothing but broken walls and rubble. Splintered beams jutted crookedly from the scorched earth, while the air was thick with dust and a faint scent of blood.
Every shout tore at Wang Dong's burning throat, yet she refused to stop, frantically searching the ruins for familiar figures.
"Xuan Zi! Mu En! Where are you?"
Only the wind's mournful howls and the rustling sound of falling stones answered her.
Wang Dong's steps slowed, despair swallowing her mind bit by bit like an icy tide.
Then, she suddenly remembered something. Her voice trembled with tears as she cried out, almost pleadingly.
"Huo Yuhao! Huo Yuhao—!"
"I'm here!"
A somewhat weak yet incomparably clear voice came from beneath a pile of rubble not far away.
Wang Dong shuddered all over. As if she had grasped a lifeline, she rushed over like mad.
Ignoring the sharp edges of the rubble, she desperately clawed away at the piled stones with both hands.
Her nails were cut open, bright red beads of blood seeping out, but she did not notice at all.
"Yuhao, hold on! I'll get you out right away!"
Stone after stone was moved aside, gradually revealing Huo Yuhao's figure.
His clothes were covered in dust and blood, and there was a deep wound at his temple, but fortunately, he was not dead!
