Chapter 212
They stumbled and shoved each other, their faces a mixture of dirt, blood, and tears.
People came from all walks of life—doctors, nurses, teachers, drivers... but the only thing they had in common was a pair of eyes filled with extreme longing and pleading.
When others outside saw Xiao Huasheng recruiting people, some kind-hearted people began to follow suit, while others wanted to profit from the disaster and take advantage of the opportunity to make some money to save lives.
Without exception, their hands were instantly sliced into minced meat the moment they reached in, blood gushing out.
The entire arm exploded into a bloody mist; the scene was extremely horrific.
"Aaaaaaah!!"
Screams echoed throughout the room.
Xiao Huasheng had no choice but to deal with them first, yelling, "Don't put your hands in! You can't pull people out!"
After helping this group, she immediately went to save the people inside the border.
At this moment, the wings and halo behind her were shining brightly; no matter what, she still couldn't bear to watch these people die in front of her.
An Angel is rescuing people in distress.
Inside the Lobotomy Corporation, Angela and Carmen also began their discussion.
Carmen: "Without a doubt, rescuing these people would not benefit the company at all. In fact, we might even perish here because of them. The other side is too powerful. Since their territory can expand so much, this boundary is definitely not their limit. If they expand even slightly, this place will also become part of their boundary. There is no reason to rescue these people."
Angela: "I agree... the supervisor is a bit too much of a 'saint'."
Carmen was surprised. "I thought you would unconditionally protect her."
Angela's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Xiao Huasheng.
"But, in a critical moment, would you rather entrust your life to a selfish person or to such a saintly person?"
"..." Carmen shook her head and said, "I still don't understand. As long as you're good to your own people, that's enough... Love doesn't need to be distributed to all living beings; one person's love is limited."
"I agree, but that's what makes her different from A, isn't it?"
Carmen was speechless.
At this moment, the inside of the border line was instantly filled with a dense crowd of people.
They tried desperately to get through the invisible wall, but no matter how many times they tried, they were teleported back.
Their mouths were agape to their limit, veins bulging on their necks, clearly screaming with all their might, but apart from the man vomiting, the sounds of some people talking, and the faint chirping of birds in the distance, no sound could be heard from inside.
The visual madness and the auditory silence were utterly incongruous.
More and more people gathered outside the barrier, watching in horror at the hellish scene inside.
Some people, seeing those familiar faces so close yet powerless to help, plead with the Angel to come and assist them.
Only Xiao Huasheng, with her unique Reality-Warping Ability, can become the sole bridge connecting the two worlds.
[Manager, energy consumption is increasing.] Angela reminded you, [Frequently turning Reality-Warping Ability on and off to cross boundaries is a significant burden on you.]
Xiao Huasheng looked at the countless hands reaching out to her, those arms trembling from the force, and she gritted her teeth.
"At least don't let these people die in front of me."
She activated her power again, reaching out to grab the arm of a young girl whose face was almost pressed against the force field, and yanked her out.
The girl staggered to the edge of the line, froze for a second, and then burst into a wail of relief.
But this action was like throwing a piece of fresh meat into a swarm of hungry sharks; the crowd inside the boundary went even crazier.
They jostled each other, vying for the front spot, hoping to be the next one chosen.
The scene briefly spiraled out of control, with some people even falling down due to the shoving and being instantly engulfed by the crowd.
Xiao Huasheng's heart tightened; she knew things couldn't go on like this.
She channeled her power, momentarily breaking through the barrier and allowing a large number of people to surge through. After releasing a large group of people, she deactivated her ability.
Before long, she had already used up 20% of her energy here.
Those who arrived were constantly being killed by various anomalies, and Xiao Huasheng chose to resurrect those who died in front of her.
As for those who didn't die in front of her, Xiao Huasheng was too busy taking care of herself.
People gazed at this lovely Angel with eyes full of awe.
She became the ferryman between life and death.
Her hands repeatedly pierced the boundaries, grasping the arms yearning for survival and dragging them out of that frozen, nightmarish world.
Each time she crossed the boundary, she felt her energy draining away.
Those who were rescued collapsed in the safe area outside the line. Some cried loudly, while others stared blankly at the graveyard behind them, which was filled with floating corpses and ruins.
After regaining their senses, more people joined the crowd outside the line, looking at the unidentified female Angel who was constantly pulling people out of hell with incredibly complex expressions.
Xiao Huasheng mechanically repeated her actions, unaware of the exact length of the area's boundaries or how many other survivors were scattered elsewhere.
She simply looked at the faces in front of her that had instantly lit up with hope because of her touch, then gritted her teeth and reached out her hand again.
"[Manager, let's run away after we get these people out of here,]" Angela reminded Xiao Huasheng.
"Um."
Xiao Huasheng responded, and in the end, she pulled out everyone she could see.
Her gaze swept past the crowded people in front of her, landing deep within the fragmented city.
What caused this sudden disaster?
And where is the being who created all of this, possessing godlike power...?
At present, this is not something she needs to consider.
She turned and ran away after rescuing the person.
"You all need to leave quickly. Tell everyone to leave quickly. This boundary will keep expanding. Run as far as you can." Before leaving, she gave the group one last reminder. Whether they listened or not was none of her business; she had already done more than enough.
In the shadows, an old man watched Xiao Huasheng's actions and whispered to himself.
"Doctor... Hmm, as expected, our world has never misjudged you; you are indeed this kind of person."
An O5 member had already arrived at the scene, and after witnessing Xiao Huasheng's act of kindness, he was even more impressed with this Angel.
In every world, this Angel extends kindness to people.
If the containment breach of Entity-3999 can be resolved this time, her threat level will be reduced by another level...
The prerequisite is that 3999 needs to be resolved.
Chapter 44: The Long-Awaited Clift [1 Update]
"Why hasn't the Foundation taken any action over there yet?" Xiao Huasheng asked as she ran, her compass pointing straight in one direction.
Clearly, she was looking for someone.
At this point, Angela received a piece of information from Makuku.
[Marcus said he had witnessed countless world resets and destructions, one of which was very similar to the current situation.]
"What exactly is that thing?"
The red-haired Angel frowned and asked a question.
The opponent's power was terrifyingly strong; judging from her physical sensations, the opponent's range covered at least a thousand miles.
This is many times more terrifying than 239; even Xiao Huasheng has never encountered such a guy before.
Faced with Xiao Huasheng's question, Angela shook her head and handed the microphone to Marcus.
[Supervisor, it would be clearer if he explained this himself.]
Marcus's voice soon came from Lobotomy Corporation.
[I remember that in this cycle, you both died, leaving no bodies... but not at the hands of the Foundation, but rather in the body of the terrifying entity that caused this disaster.]
"What about the Foundation? Did the Foundation stop it?"
[I know the Foundation died before you. I survived much later; I was hiding at a site with Large Reality Stabilization Anchor, but that anchor was eventually destroyed, and I was killed by the Reality Warping enveloped the entire world... But after killing me, they reset the whole world. I've experienced this cycle many times.]
Upon hearing this, Angela and Xiao Huasheng fell silent instantly; the opponent's strength was far beyond their imagination.
The opponent also possesses the power to manipulate time, and even the power to reset the entire world.
A term immediately came to mind for both of them— Supreme Divinity.
Only Supreme Divinity could possess such power; apart from Supreme Divinity, she couldn't imagine anything else capable of doing so.
The target is a K-class calamity, capable of easily destroying the entire world and resetting the Foundation universe.
This guy is the real piece of shit, and the biggest piece of shit Xiao Huasheng has ever encountered at the Foundation.
Each time the Foundation's universe is reset, the contained objects change, but this thing is definitely too powerful.
"What caused this disaster? There must be something that led to all of this; it couldn't have happened without a reason."
[I don't know... It seems that after I was killed by it, all my memories of it were erased, and the company helped me retrieve those memories.]
Being killed by it will also erase your memories.
Even Makuku was not spared.
Upon realizing this, Xiao Huasheng broke out in a cold sweat. If this were the case... how many times would he have to be killed by the other party before all this was over?
[Manager, I suggest we run away, using the same Dimensional Rift route Carmen used. This thing is beyond our capabilities.]
The opponent is a Supreme Divinity, possessing the real power to kill both of them.
Based on this alone, the opponent's strength was beyond what the two of them could have imagined.
Xiao Huasheng's own defenses were impenetrable even to herself, yet her opponent could kill her with ease.
Just as the two were getting more and more determined to run away.
Carmen revealed the location of the Dimensional Rift that led her here, and that the rifts within the company are now also usable.
But this would inevitably force Xiao Huasheng to leave his strongest form here.
Angela also said that.
In fact, Xiao Huasheng herself has two bodies, and she can choose any one of them to control.
Xiao Huasheng's physical actions within the company are generated by some kind of device within the company; they appear when Xiao Huasheng's consciousness enters the Lobotomy Corporation.
Its physical strength is not as great as the external body, and its function is very limited. Apart from being able to use the Reality-Warping Ability and 173's ability, its strength is far inferior to the original body.
If the body were in front of S-Sis, it would probably be instantly corrupted and become S-Sis's plaything, with very weak mental resistance.
The advantage is that this body can hide inside the Lobotomy Corporation and freely travel to another world through the rift.
The external entity, which is the body that emerged from 173's body, is the company's strongest shield. It also possesses 173's abilities and can use Reality-Warping Ability.
Its Supernormal State attributes create unparalleled defensive capabilities, rendering most abnormal impacts ineffective against its body.
Furthermore, this body possesses extremely strong mental defense capabilities; although it can still be breached by certain things, it also has a remarkably fast recovery ability.
Once this body is lost, it can never be replaced.
That means Angela will be out and about, while Xiao Huasheng will be staying inside the company for the long term.
If things turn out like that, their strength will be greatly reduced.
This was a scene neither of them wanted to see under any circumstances; their concrete bodies were their greatest asset.
After all, even the most powerful mortal body can only resist Reality Warping by using the Reality-Warping Ability.
However, this cement body can directly withstand all damage, and it has a certain function as Reality Stabilization Anchor. Moreover, this body is completely compatible with Xiao Huasheng's soul.
"Not good."
At this moment, Xiao Huasheng, who was rushing towards the portal through which Carmen had come to this world, stopped in his tracks.
She stared dumbfounded at the compass spinning erratically in her hand.
This means... she has entered a Reality Warping realm?
No, it's not.
[Supervisor, that location has entered the realm of Reality Warping; the Large Reality Stabilization Anchor there has been destroyed.]
With a ripping sound.
Xiao Huasheng stopped in her tracks, accompanied by the raging wind behind her. She was now on the surface of a lake.
