"I-I clearly didn't use a sedative???"

Cheng Jin stared blankly at Zhou Ying'er as she collapsed. He was so flustered that he even forgot to catch her.

Whoosh.

A figure slowly materialized out of nowhere.

Cheng Jin jumped in fright, stumbling backward before landing on his backside. Staring at the dwarf-like figure in black skintight clothing, he trembled as if he had seen a ghost. "Y-you, who are you?!"

The Black God Suit covering Zhou Hao's face, leaving only his nose and eyes exposed, quickly receded under his control, revealing his adorable little face.

Cheng Jin was dumbfounded.

His mind completely short-circuited.

Every nerve cell involved in thought and memory had never imagined that on the rooftop of a building in the wilderness district of City No. 085, he would see Zhou Ying'er's three-year-old little brother... Zhou Hao!!!

This was even more unbelievable than seeing his cousin dance naked in front of monsters!

Zhou Hao stepped in front of Cheng Jin, who was sitting on the ground, shook his little head, and sighed. "Wouldn't it be nice to just be a simp? Why did you have to court death?!"

"Y-you..." Cheng Jin finally regained his senses for a moment, but he could only stare at Zhou Hao and stammer, utterly unable to speak.

"Some people are destined to be beyond your reach, no matter how much effort you put in!"

After saying that, Zhou Hao turned around without even looking at Cheng Jin. He picked up Zhou Ying'er, stepped onto his shield, and soared into the sky.

At the sight of this.

Cheng Jin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his mouth hung wide open in a perfect O.

Pfft!

A streak of cold light descended from the sky and pierced straight through his head, freezing his expression forever.

Inside the building's stairwell.

Boom boom boom!

A tidal wave of rat beasts frantically attacked the Sabertooth Tiger Squad, smashing apart the stairs.

But before the Sabertooth Tiger Squad stood a curvaceous woman wielding a spear, slaughtering the endless rat beasts rushing at them.

"So this is a War God powerhouse!!" Qiu Cheng and the others' eyes burned with excitement, their yearning for War Gods growing even stronger.

Pfft pfft pfft pfft!

Suddenly, a cold glint pierced through several concrete floors of the building, lightning-fast as it shot through the heads of the Sabertooth Tiger Squad members.

"Hm?" Cheng Shuli's gaze snapped toward the flying dagger, and every hair on her body stood on end!

Pfft!

But the flying dagger was too fast.

Before she could even draw her weapon in response, its tip drilled into her temple in a graceful arc. Her brain matter burst apart, and Cheng Shuli's curvaceous body crashed to the ground.

A mass of rat beasts submerged their corpses.

Even at death, Cheng Shuli would never have imagined that merely helping her cousin on a whim would provoke the Mental Power Master of an Invincible War God!

A bustling street in the southern part of City No. 085.

The rooftop of the Bank Building.

Zhou Hao slowly descended while holding Zhou Ying'er, then set his sister down beside the other members of the Rose Squad. He had arrived in City No. 085 the moment he discovered the Rat Tide. The reason he had not immediately followed Zhou Ying'er was that he had gone to save Shen Hong and the others first.

After all, Zhou Ying'er had not been in danger at the time.

And at his speed, he could return within a few dozen seconds.

Boom boom!

The streets surrounding the bank were now filled with countless rat beasts.

Zhou Hao gazed into the distance. Beyond the city outskirts, the ground was a vast black sea.

His little face creased into a frown.

A Rat Tide of this level had already surpassed Level Three.

He glanced at his communication watch. More than ten minutes had passed since he saved Shen Hong and the others, then used their communication watches to send out emergency distress signals.

At the speed of the Military Supply Base's aircraft, they should be arriving soon.

"They should make it in time!" Zhou Hao's gaze swept over the five people—Shen Hong and Zhang Yi among them—whom he had gently knocked unconscious, then over Zhou Ying'er. He decided to wait a little longer.

Time ticked by.

The streets filled with more and more rat beasts.

Some of the rat beasts seemed to sense the presence of Zhou Ying'er and the others, frantically charging toward the Bank Building. However, Zhou Hao easily killed them with his flying daggers.

But as more rat beasts died.

The high-level rat beast leaders noticed Zhou Hao's side and immediately let out shrill cries.

Rumble~

At once, an endless, ocean-like tide of rat beasts surged toward the Bank Building from all directions.

"What a hassle!" Zhou Hao shook his little head. He no longer bothered with stealthy kills. Thirty-two Series 9 Flying Daggers and sixteen Series 7 Flying Daggers instantly shot out from his pants pockets.

Forty-eight flying daggers hovered around him.

"Go!"

With a low shout.

The flying daggers shot out like lightning, forming a hundred-meter-diameter killing zone centered on Zhou Hao as they frantically slaughtered rat beasts one after another.

Pfft pfft pfft!

The forty-eight flying daggers were like a metal storm, spinning as they mercilessly slaughtered the countless rat beasts charging in from every direction.

Squeak squeak~

The shrill cries grew even more frequent.

The Rat Tide went mad.

Millions upon millions of rat beasts lunged at the Bank Building, but the instant they reached its edge, they were pierced through by the rapidly spinning flying daggers.

In merely five or six minutes.

Layers upon layers of rat beast corpses had piled up around the Bank Building, rising at a visible rate.

"They really are crazy!" Zhou Hao stood at the edge of the rooftop, watching the rat beast corpses around him pile nearly halfway up the building's height. His expression remained calm.

Boom!

The Mental Power in his sea of consciousness erupted completely.

Sonic booms rang out from the flying daggers, shattering the Bank Building's windows. Shard after shard of glass quickly floated into the air, then formed a circular storm like flying daggers.

Pfft pfft pfft!

The rat beasts throwing themselves into the fray like moths to a flame died even faster, their corpses piling up at an accelerating rate.

After controlling more than two hundred glass shards, Zhou Hao felt his control over the flying daggers growing somewhat unstable. He understood that this was likely the current limit of his Mental Power.

"To completely master the Control Chapter of Fundamentals of Mental Power Master, it looks like I'll still need another ten days to half a month!" he murmured softly as he watched the rat beasts multiply.

The more objects a Mental Power Master controlled, the lower the power of each attack.

Fortunately, these rat beasts were not very strong, so he did not need to maintain maximum power.

Of course.

The main reason Zhou Hao dared to do this was that his Mental Power reserves were simply too vast. After reaching Peak War God, two-thirds of the Golden Orb in his sea of consciousness remained solid.

Mental mist replenished him without end.

He did not have to worry about exhausting his Mental Power at all.

In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes passed.

Around the rooftop, the rat beast corpses had piled up to several hundred thousand.

High above the outskirts of City No. 085.

Inside a Military Aircraft.

The pilot looked at the dense sea of rat beasts in the city, his scalp tingling. "Reporting to base, we have arrived at the outskirts of City No. 085. Conditions in the Rat Tide's hardest-hit area are extremely severe. Should we continue the rescue operation?"

The base quickly replied, "The emergency signal is still active. Continue the rescue!"

"Yes, sir!"

Rumble~

The aircraft charged into the city, its engines roaring.

Countless rat beasts in the streets raised their heads and squealed at the aircraft.

As the aircraft approached the location of the distress signal.

Hundreds of thousands of rat beast corpses formed a circle around a rooftop building. Countless rat beasts climbed over the corpses in a dense mass, rushing upward, only to be continuously shredded by a metal storm.

This scene gradually entered the aircraft's field of vision.

The pilot was instantly stunned.

"My God, h-how many rat beasts has this killed??!"

"03, 03... have you reached the rescue location?" The repeated urging in his earpiece snapped the stunned pilot back to his senses.

The pilot hurriedly replied, "Reporting to base, we have reached the target location!"

A worried voice from the base sounded. "03, is the target alive?"

The pilot did not answer immediately. Instead, he first transmitted the scene before him back to the base, along with one sentence: "No casualties among the targets!"
