[Number of deaths: 19,665,239]
In the upper right corner of the live stream screen, there was a long and despairing list of death tolls.
And this number is increasing rapidly as [Ultimate] progresses.
This was merely an accidental crushing by [Ultimate] while moving; there was no deliberate slaughter, just like accidentally stepping on a few ants while walking.
A Satellite map was displayed on one half of the screen, with a red dot that was slowly moving particularly eye-catching.
"This is [Ultimate]' s current location and predicted roadmap."
As the [Satellite] spoke, a scarlet line traversed Russia, reaching the headquarters of the International Nightwalkers, outlining the path of the [Ultimate].
"Fortunately, this route doesn't pass through our Great Xia, so we won't have any problems for the time being."
[Satellite] tried to comfort everyone in a joking manner, but no one present felt any joy.
Several more small yellow dots appeared on Russia territory.
"Our next task is for everyone to divide into groups and proceed to the locations marked on the map, and then..."
"Then send them to their deaths?"
One of the men in the crowd could no longer hold back and asked a question in return.
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on the man, including Han Xiaoxiao and the others from the Special Extermination Squad.
The man's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and he was trembling uncontrollably.
"We're not going to our deaths, we're sacrificing ourselves for humanity." [Satellite] explained.
"Don't make it sound so nice, isn't that just sending them to their deaths?!"
The man roared in despair, his chest heaving violently as he stared at the holographic projection screen floating in the air.
"Tell us, how are we humans supposed to win? How are we supposed to fight that monster?!"
"He could destroy a city with a wave of his hand; there's no way he could be killed!"
He suddenly waved his hand, sweat dripping down his face, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Even if all of us ganged up on each other, one fart from the other side could wipe us all out!"
Even if you gathered together every single person in human history who was capable of fighting, there would be absolutely no chance of killing them!
"Even if ten [Godslaying] Squad came, it wouldn't matter!"
"Shut up!!!"
A furious shout suddenly rang out, and a powerful aura easily overwhelmed the man, forcing him to kneel heavily on the ground.
With a calm gaze, Han Xiaoxiao glanced to the side and saw Gu Gongming, whose right side was empty, glaring angrily at the man.
The aura of ' Starlight ' surrounded him, causing his suit and the openwork right sleeve to flutter in the wind.
"Stop! We can't afford internal strife at a time like this."
[Satellite] intervened in time, and Gu Gongming snorted coldly before concealing his aura.
"Ha ha..."
The man braced himself on the ground with both hands, breathing heavily, large drops of sweat falling to the ground.
"There's nothing we can do... but at least I don't want to die..."
He stood up shakily and walked unsteadily backward.
"What are you doing?" Gu Gongming's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.
The man paused, then continued walking. "Being with the people I should be with, waiting to die is better than sending them to their deaths!"
He pushed past one person after another, taking steps forward, one after another.
"Dad!"
Suddenly, a little girl's sweet voice came from behind him, making the man tremble.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he stiffly turned his head back.
Floating in the air, a huge screen splits into another section, displaying a cute little face.
That's that man's daughter.
"Dad, where are you? Why is it so dark here?"
That innocent face looked around curiously.
For some reason, no one dared to meet the little girl's gaze; they all turned their heads away.
" Beibei wants Mommy to talk to Daddy too." A woman's face appeared on the screen, smiling and waving at the man.
"Honey, no matter how busy you are at work, remember to take a break. And don't forget to come home."
The man's Adam's apple bobbed repeatedly, and finally, with difficulty, he uttered, "Okay..."
"Dad, I learned so many things at kindergarten and made so many friends!"
That innocent face was projected onto the screen, while the screen next to it displayed the ever-increasing death toll.
Then several more projection screens appeared in the air, displaying relatives that everyone present could contact.
"Son, Mom misses you..."
"Dad, come back quickly! I recharged my phone with 200 yuan, and Mom is going to beat me to death!"
"Baby, I miss you so much, I want to marry you."
"Brother, are you tired? You look so dirty..."
"..."
Countless words of concern and conversations from relatives and friends gradually warmed this cold military base.
Everyone here, some laughing, some crying, some caught between laughter and tears, but what they all had in common was a bitter feeling rising in their hearts.
After an unknown amount of time, the last relative hung up, and the screen at the scene was once again left with only the live stream and map of [Ultimate].

The green emoji stands between the two images.
"Dad, Mom, wife, husband, son, daughter, older brother, older sister, younger brother, younger sister, people you care about and people who care about you, people related to you, people not related to you..."
"All of the people mentioned above are expected to perish within approximately one day."
[Satellite] Mingming the tone was very cheerful, it sounded so cold.
"There are no absolutely predetermined endings in this world, although for many of you, your ending will most likely be death."
"But it is the fate of each and every one of you that has led to changes in the fate of the people you know and the world as a whole."
" Night Star, now, night has fallen."
"Please, with your humble end, point the way for the whole world and illuminate the night sky."
"You will be the stars in the night!"
"Have you decided to take action?"
After saying this, [Satellite] fell silent and waited quietly for a reply.
The man below was panting heavily, his eyes tightly closed, as if he were recalling his life.
Finally, he raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Action!!!"
His words were like a fuse, igniting one person after another.
"Action!!!"
"Light up the night!"
"Light up the night!"
A loud shout rang out within the military base, and Gu Gongming, Han Xiaoxiao, and the others standing in the center of the crowd nodded silently.
"Alright... then, all Night Star, please set off."
