Foreign Visitors

"Attack!"

The moment that dark shadow emerged, Yang Chen had already spoken.

Yang Chen's perception was sharp, and since he had been keeping a close watch on his surroundings, he could detect the slightest movement.

Furthermore, the instant that shadow appeared, it radiated a terrifying murderous intent.

The group of Number 98 ability users reacted instantly, their spiritual energy erupting in a kaleidoscope of colors.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Various abilities bloomed in an instant, looking much like fireworks.

It was only then that the shadows revealed their true forms.

They were a species that looked exactly like zombies!

Their skin was wrinkled, layered over their faces like waves.

Dead energy permeated their bodies, and a faint, foul stench of rotting corpses lingered in the air.

"Zombies?"

Yang Chen frowned slightly. He had seen zombies on television before, but he had always assumed such things existed only on screen.

How could they appear in reality?

Besides, weren't ruins supposed to be remnants from the previous era?

However, before Yang Chen could ponder further, a zombie exuding a powerful aura charged at him, its foul-smelling mouth agape as it lunged to tear into him.

"Hiss-ah!"

A hoarse sound emanated from the zombie's throat.

Yang Chen furrowed his brows and threw a punch.

"Get lost!"

Rolling flames erupted instantly from Yang Chen's fist, landing squarely on the zombie's body.

The zombie seemed to fear the fire; the moment the flames touched it, it let out a shrill scream and began frantically slapping its own body, trying to extinguish the blaze.

Watching the zombie's reaction, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"They fear fire! Everyone with Flame Ability, attack with full force!"

Hearing Yang Chen's roar, the few ability users in the team with Flame Ability immediately pushed their powers to the limit. Pillars of fire, resembling dragons, spiraled outward and slammed into the horde of zombies.

The effect was significant.

Whether they were touched by the flames or not, the zombies—previously devoid of any expression—suddenly showed faint traces of fear in their dull eyes as they were engulfed by the rolling waves of fire.

"Awoo~"

One zombie, which appeared to be the leader, possessed eyes with a more intense glint than the others and suddenly let out a sharp shriek.

Following that scream, the group of zombies began to retreat in an orderly fashion, gradually vanishing into the jungle.

Seeing this, the Number 98 ability users finally relaxed slightly.

But Yang Chen did not dare to let his guard down. He said in a deep voice, "Keep your spirits up! In a place like this, if you let your guard down, you are not far from death!"

"What's the big deal? I don't believe it."

A disdainful voice rang out; it was the man who had been dissatisfied with Yang Chen from the start. Before he could finish his sentence, Yang Chen hoisted him into the air, staring at him with cold, indifferent eyes.

"I said, if you don't listen, get out!"

"Now, get lost!" With a casual flick, he threw the man aside.

The sudden roar terrified the man.

However, looking at Yang Chen's youthful appearance, he gritted his teeth and, refusing to repent, muttered, "So overbearing—is that any way for a captain to act? I'm not staying here, old man!"

The man slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and cast a hateful glare at Yang Chen.

He then turned and walked deep into the jungle.

At this moment, an A-rank ability user leaned in close to Yang Chen's ear and whispered, "Captain, is this really a good idea? After all, they are all from Number 98!"

Yang Chen glanced at him. He had already memorized the man's name, as there were only two A-rank powerhouses in this team.

This man was Zhang Shilei, the mid-stage A-rank ability user; the other was Kong Lingze.

There was a hint of reluctance in Zhang Shilei's eyes.

Yang Chen did not blame Zhang Shilei, but simply said calmly, "I don't need fools in my team."

Yang Chen's explanation was brief, but everyone understood.

Yang Chen needed a team that would obey him completely!

At least within these ruins, he required absolute obedience.

If anything, the more people who left, the happier he would be.

The fewer the people, the fewer burdens Yang Chen felt he had, making things much easier for him.

Think about it: leading a group of people weaker than yourself, or leading a few people weaker than yourself—between these two choices, which one is easier?

There was no need to even think about it; it was the latter.

Yet, there were still some clever people among those present, so they understood Yang Chen's line of thinking. Even so, they still chose to stay by Yang Chen's side. After all, Yang Chen was an S-Class powerhouse!

At the very least, in their eyes, Yang Chen was an S-Class powerhouse.

And regardless of whether he was strong or not, he was still stronger than them!

"Since no one has any objections, let's continue moving forward!"

Yang Chen looked at the crowd coldly and spoke up.

"Yes!"

The group replied in perfect unison.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, above Hancheng.

Liu Feng and Chen Tianxin watched the massive portal in silence.

Hancheng had already been sealed off by the barrier they had set up. The people inside could not see the situation outside, and the people within the city had been left to Wild Wolf and his team!

These matters were not enough to require them to handle them personally!

"I wonder what the situation is like inside. Time waits for no one!"

Chen Tianxin sighed.

Liu Feng remained calm, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

"They're here!"

"What's here?"

Chen Tianxin was still confused. He followed Liu Feng's gaze, but found that he could see nothing at all.

"People from Northern Europe and North America!"

Liu Feng said indifferently.

Immediately after, they could see a phantom of a Six-Winged Angel suddenly bloom across the firmament.

A soft radiance emerged in an instant.

Chen Tianxin's expression turned grave.

"North America!"

On the other side, there was a burly old man holding a massive iron hammer, which he slammed into the sky.

Bolts of lightning, as if capable of destroying the world, swarmed down instantly.

Within the old man's eyes, arcs of electricity flickered, as if the Thunder God had descended upon the world!

Liu Feng's body slowly levitated, and the Blade Case on his back opened instantly.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color. The clouds were torn apart by terrifying blade energy, and a faint, shimmering white scar seemed to appear across the firmament.

It looked as if it were about to cleave the world in two!

Liu Feng watched both sides coldly and spoke slowly.

"Gentlemen, this is Huaxia!"

To be continued!
