The Faith of the Counteroffensive Has Returned. Counterattack!...

what happened?

Ming Chun was lost in memories.

At that time, Ming Chun was searching for her younger sister when she saw the flower-selling girl. She witnessed the girl throwing a body off the roof, was shocked, and fought with the girl.

As soon as they exchanged blows, Ming Chun realized that the girl was not human; she was a Polluted.

There is a connection between those Polluted; the girl had already exceeded the level that Polluted should be at, yet Ming Chun failed to notice her immediately.

The girl was too strong, Ming Chun was quickly defeated; the girl's hand pierced through Ming Chun's chest.

Ming Chun thought she was going to die there, but...

The girl stopped.

"Let's make a deal," the girl said, pressing her head against Ming Chun's. "We have no grudges between us, so let's not fight to the death over a worthless person."

Ming Chun was seriously injured and unable to speak.

The girl said to herself, "Do you know a city called Huanxia City? It's known as the City of Flowers, surrounded by flowers all year round."

"I have a seed," the girl said. "If you help me take it to the land in the city and plant it, I won't kill you."

She said, "I want to see it bloom."

Ming Chun stared at her in a daze, never expecting that a ruthless Polluted would want to make such a deal with her.

The girl withdrew her hand, her fingers brushing over the wound she had inflicted; the wound was healing rapidly.

Ming Chun was surprised, many questions swirling in her mind. The first question she managed to ask was, "Why do you need me to take it with you? Can't you go by yourself?"

The girl stepped back, and her figure appeared on the wall of the alley in the blink of an eye.

"Why?" The girl turned around and smiled at Ming Chun. "Of course it's because I can't go. My sister's wish for an eye for an eye will come true, so don't keep chasing after me to die. Don't rush things."

The girl disappeared as soon as she finished speaking. Ming Chun looked down and saw the seeds in her hand; the girl had given them to her.

She felt increasingly drowsy, and she closed her eyes, clutching the seed.

When Ming Chun woke up again, she was in a cave. There were many people in the cave, but the girl was nowhere to be seen. She didn't know what had happened, but she had a premonition that the girl...

He died.

A life for a life.

The girl had already written her own ending.

Since that's the case, let's assume she agreed to the deal and help her fulfill her wish.

Ming Chun stared blankly at her hands when suddenly something brushed against them. Her fingers loosened abruptly, and the seed flew out and landed in the hand of another "person".

Ye Jiang grasped the seed.

"It's not a plant seed," Ye Jiang said after sensing it. "It's just 'vitality'."

Those so-called seeds are actually the condensation of life.

Ming Chun was taken aback, Xiao Pei was shocked.

She said, "Wash

Xia City didn't originally grow flowers; there was a rumor that the land was unsuitable for cultivation. But from some unknown year, flowers began to flourish there, and the city became the most fertile land.

Xiao Pei paused, "That girl... she should be a plant-type Polluted."

That girl is a plant-based Polluted; she can turn plants into the most toxic substances.

However, as a plant-based superpower, it is more closely linked to life than to poison.

That girl, she could conjure life.

She healed Ming Chun with her vitality, and perhaps she also... changed a city with her vitality.

Ye Jiang then said, "A Polluted told me that when Polluted's power reaches a certain level, their human consciousness returns, and they can regain their human form."

The girl is a human-shaped Polluted.

That's why Ye Jiang showed a hint of surprise when she learned that the girl was Polluted.

Ming Chun Xiao Pei remained silent for a long time, not in the mood to investigate which Polluted had said those words to Ye Jiang.

Ye Jiang glanced at the "seed" in her hand and handed it back to Ming Chun.

Ye Jiang and Xiao Pei did not stay in the cave for long. As they left the mountain range, Xiao Pei couldn't help but look back. In her eyes, the huge alien skeleton was connected end to end, embracing the city. There was an unsung hero who guarded this place day after day.

Ming Chun wasn't going into the city; she was going to City of Flowers, so she said goodbye at the foot of the mountain. Ming Xia was reluctant to leave, but Xiao Pei grabbed her by the neck and led her away. Ming Xia couldn't go with her sister; she still had to go back to the Ability Control Bureau with her to submit her mission. Ye Jiang was also going into the city because the Toy Mall was still docked in M City, Rong Yin... Rong Yin went with her. So, except for Ming Chun, everyone's destination was M City.

The group sped forward, and as they approached the city, an ominous Pollution suddenly drifted into the air. Xiao Pei paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated and landed on the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, she saw the city before her in ruins, its prosperity gone, its tall buildings turned into wasteland.

"Captain Xiao?"

The city guard saw Xiao Pei, rubbed his eyes, and looked on incredulously.

It really is Captain Xiao!

"Captain Xiao is back!" The goalkeeper was overjoyed.

Xiao Pei looked at the city. "... What's going on here?"

A hint of hatred flashed in the city guard's eyes. "Six months ago, the ' World Destroyer ' led an army of S-Rank Polluted into various cities, causing heavy human casualties. More than half of the cities were completely overrun. M City and M City, thanks to the Watch Mountain Range, were relatively well preserved, and their civilian casualties were the lowest."

Xiao Pei's eyes instantly turned red. Such a dilapidated city, and it was still considered well-preserved? What about the other cities...?

World Destroyer!!!

Xiao Pei clenched her fists tightly, veins bulging.

The city guard looked at Xiao Pei and murmured, "Captain Xiao, do you know that three years have passed since you entered the mountains on your mission, since you left..."

Xiao Pei: "!!"

As Ye Jiang landed on the city wall, she heard these words, and her eyes welled up with emotion.

Three years...

The energy of the Watch Mountain Range possesses the ability to distort time and space. Xiao Pei and Ming Xia had previously experienced several illusions, yet only a month had passed outside. The flow of time within those illusions was clearly much faster than outside.

In this final illusion they experienced together, the flow of time was slowed down considerably.

Three years have passed.

Chapter 169 Counterattack: Faith has returned, let's counterattack!...

Huanxia City.

After passing through a dense, green forest, Ming Chun arrived at Huanxia City.

Huanxia City was neither too big nor too small, with a population of one million. Outside the city were vast cultivated flower fields, and only to the south were there large forests. However, at this time, the flower fields were destroyed and the forests withered.

Ming Chun had witnessed much devastation along her journey, but seeing this scene still weighed heavily on her heart.

Not long after Ming Chun left the Watch Mountain Range, she discovered that the world had changed drastically. Shocked and confused, she learned the situation from a citizen she had saved from Polluted. It turned out that three years had passed, and half a year had passed since the "World Destroyer" launched its world-destroying attack.

Three years ago, the Polluted ' activities became more and more frequent, which had already hindered the normal lives of citizens Ability Control Bureau issued a doomsday warning, declared a state of war, mobilized the entire population to prepare wartime supplies, and factories started up and planting expanded.

A year later, S-Rank Polluted began to appear sporadically, harassing the city and causing significant human casualties. A battle ensued, and the Ability Control Bureau discovered the Polluted ' secret and deciphered one of Song Cen's messages—that there are Polluted in this world who still possess consciousness.

The Ability Control Bureau discovered that not all the Polluted were inanimate objects that killed. Some of Polluted retained consciousness, but most of these Polluted had very weak consciousness when they first mutated. Many of them harmed or even killed humans when they were not in a state of consciousness. As a result, when they later regained consciousness, they felt that they could not return to the human world, so they avoided humans and hid their special abilities.

These special Polluted were collected and utilized by the "World Destroyer." They were elevated to S-Rank by the "World Destroyer's " flesh and then degenerated, becoming the "World Destroyer's " henchmen.

The Ability Control Bureau announced the existence of special Polluted, mobilized the entire Polluted to pay attention to them, and issued a special decree: special Polluted can atone for their crimes by making mistakes while in a state of unconsciousness.

Following the order, some special Polluted voluntarily appeared and subsequently joined the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau's special formation.

Several months later, the Ability Control Bureau discovered that the "World Destroyer" were not only collecting special Polluted, but also creating them. The increasingly frequent activities of Polluted were a byproduct of the creation process.

Meanwhile, the "Gambler" was discovered, and the Ability Control Bureau found that he had joined forces with the "World Destroyer."

The Ability Control Bureau released the "Monster Archives," announcing the existence of "monsters" and revealing that the current apocalyptic crisis originated from the monster "World Destroyer."

Six months ago, the "World Destroyer" unleashed an army of S-Rank Polluted. Thousands of S-Rank Polluted attacked human cities simultaneously, causing heavy casualties and officially beginning the war to destroy the world.

In the past six months, more than half of the human cities have fallen and been controlled by the "World Destroyer." Humans have lost news of those fallen cities and can only hear cries and screams coming from them.

Monsters 23567 joined the human camp. They fought together against the "World Destroyer" and the "Gambler" when the war to destroy the world began, but they were no match for the "World Destroyer" because of its terrifying strength.

After that battle, the S-Rank Polluted army continued to attack cities outside, while the "World Destroyer" and "Gambler" remained entrenched in the fallen cities, helping humanity establish four major bases and guarding each one.

The two sides of monsters formed a balance of power. As long as 23567 did not leave the base, the "World Destroyer" and "Gambler" would not leave the fallen city. The monsters all retreated to the rear, and the battle became a battle between the S-Rank Polluted army and the human ability users. The S-Rank Polluted army wanted to conquer the city, while the human ability users wanted to snatch the city's citizens from them and transfer them to the four major bases.

A balance of power had been in place for six months, but the Ability Control Bureau felt that the "World Destroyer '" entrenched presence in the fallen cities was definitely part of a scheme, and that prolonging the conflict would be detrimental, yet they had no other options. Over the past three years, the Toy Mall had helped nearly two thousand humans advance to S-Rank; almost all the elites who initially entered the mall had achieved S-Rank. However, the enemy's S-Rank Polluted outnumbered them by almost two to one, representing an overwhelming force. It was under this terrifying disparity in strength that humanity lost more than half of its cities, and the fate of the citizens in those fallen cities remained unknown.
