Chapter 130: Compassion above the absolute ruling status of humanity, Da Xia

"Qingshan County has been breached? What is the Yunshan Tianshu Academy doing!"

"Did they not receive the request for aid from Qingshan County?"

"A Stage Three mutated creature? Breached before reinforcements could arrive?"

"That is no excuse!"

Wang Shouguo's roar made everyone in the Imperial Capital Tianshu Academy tremble. He gripped the phone tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

This was not a drama like the last time in Bibo City! This was a real beast horde!

How many people are in a county? What kind of fear are those people hiding in the shelters facing right now?

If the shelters are discovered by that group of mutated creatures, how many people will die because of it?

On the other end of the phone, the Director of the Yunshan City Tianshu Academy was silent, unable to respond.

"How many people are left in the Qingshan County Tianshu Academy?"

Wang Shouguo took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions as he asked.

Silence.

After a long few seconds, Wang Shouguo slowly closed his eyes and hung up the communication.

"Order—"

He opened his eyes, his voice low but carrying unquestionable decisiveness.

"All cities surrounding Yunshan City, immediately mobilize teams of superpowered individuals and urgently rush to aid Qingshan County!"

"First priority: ensure the absolute safety of the people in the shelters!"

"Second priority: search for surviving Tianshu Academy members!"

"Third priority: clear out all mutated creatures that have invaded the county town!"

As the order was issued, everyone in the Imperial Capital Tianshu Academy immediately sprang into action, the communication channels instantly occupied by urgent mobilization orders.

Although the reinforcements from the Yunshan City Tianshu Academy had arrived, it was not enough! Far from enough!

Before the beast horde entered, they could use any weapon allowed within the range without worrying about affecting ordinary people, but after the beast horde entered the city, many weapons could no longer be used.

Therefore, even with the support of the Yunshan City Tianshu Academy, they could not eliminate all the mutated creatures in the city in a short time.

Especially since there were Stage Three mutated creatures in this beast horde.

"Have Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, Shen Xuan, and others head to Qingshan County!"

"The last beast horde was quelled within twelve hours."

"This time, it must also be within twelve hours!"

In the training room.

"Qingshan County has been breached?"

Gu Che listened to Wang Shouguo's words, his expression dazed, but then it turned incomparably angry.

He didn't know what the scene in Qingshan County was like now, but he clearly remembered the bodies torn apart by mutated creatures he had seen in the last beast horde, and the despair frozen on those people's faces before they died.

And what shocked him even more than Qingshan County being breached was—the Qingshan County Tianshu Academy, not a single survivor.

"Bang!"

Gu Che's fist smashed heavily into the alloy wall of the training room, the entire wall trembling. His expression was incomparably dark.

What kind of mood were those sacrificed soldiers in at the last moment? Knowing they would surely die, yet still choosing to use their flesh and blood to delay time...

"I want to go!"

Gu Che raised his head abruptly, his eyes burning with terrifying murderous intent.

"Go now!"

Wang Shouguo looked at his expression, his tense face relaxing slightly.

"I have already arranged it."

"Not just you, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, Shen Mo, Shen Xuan, and others are all going!"

"Kill more mutated creatures."

He said in a deep voice.

"Good!"

Gu Che grabbed his weapon and responded.

At this moment, murderous intent soared in the training room!

Modu Tianshu Academy.

After Lu Jing learned of the situation in Bibo City, the anger and murderous intent in his expression were beyond words.

Although in their past assumptions, one day in the future, mutated creatures would possess strength no less than human civilization, or even breach human cities, posing a serious threat to them.

However, he did not expect this day to come so quickly!

Qingshan County was breached, and the Tianshu Academy members all died in battle to protect the people.

"Heh, hehehe."

Lu Jing clenched his fists tightly, his cold gaze filled with murderous intent that was rich to the extreme.

Just a group of animals, daring to do such a thing—they deserved to die, all of them deserved to die!

One day, he would kill all the mutated creatures!

All of them!

Jin Ling Tianshu Academy, in the training ground.

"Boom—!!!"

Blinding lightning suddenly exploded, violent currents ravaging the training ground like angry dragons, instantly vaporizing the special alloy targets.

The surrounding members retreated one after another, looking in horror at the figure wrapped in lightning in the center of the field.

Lin Ruoxi stood in the center of the thunder, her long hair dancing in the static electricity, a chilling light dancing in her eyes.

"Qingshan County, breached?"

Her voice was very light, yet it made everyone feel a bone-chilling cold.

How many years had it been? Since humanity stood at the pinnacle of this planet, how many years had it been since any living thing dared to invade their cities?

The last one to do so was humanity itself; now, a group of animals dared to do the same?

From the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery until now, even during the beast horde that occurred during the spiritual energy tide, she had never taken mutated creatures seriously.

She could arrogantly say things like "all life is equal," but that had always been compassion built upon the absolute ruling status of humanity.

Just as humans protect endangered animals, just as they want to protect those cute pets...

Humans know better than any other life form that life is unequal.

Since those mutated creatures feel they no longer need to be pitied by humans, and even turn to hunting humans, then there is naturally no need to look at them with the same eyes as before.

Lin Ruoxi clenched her fists abruptly, the thunder around her body surging again, the blinding electric light illuminating the entire training ground like daylight, the air filled with the pungent smell of ozone.

"Prepare the fighter jets."

Her voice was as cold as ice.

"I want to let those animals know what humans are to them."

Pengcheng, cold air suddenly permeated.

Shen Mo stood in the Tianshu Academy, fine ice crystals instantly condensing in the surrounding air. His eyes were terrifyingly cold, his spiritual power overflowing uncontrollably, and a layer of white frost rapidly formed on the ground with him at the center.

"Qingshan County..."

He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Go."

"To Qingfeng Mountain."

"Don't they covet the human domain? Then I will let them—"

"Stay there forever."

Taking a step out, the temperature of the entire Tianshu Academy plummeted, bone-chilling cold enveloping the place, even gradually spreading outward.

"Do you really not intend to take action?"

Li Cheng'an looked at the person in front of him, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Except for the dimensional creatures last time, this is the first time a beast horde has broken through a city's defensive line."

The steam from the teacup rose, creating a hazy mist between the two.

Zhong Shanhai lowered his eyes, the tea leaves in the cup slowly settling to the bottom. His gaze seemed to pierce through the tea soup, seeing the blood-red color thousands of miles away.

"The first time, but it will not be the last."

He said lightly.

"With your ability, you could quell this disaster in an instant."

Li Cheng'an gripped the teacup.

"And then?"

"Let humanity live forever under the wings of gods?"

Zhong Shanhai looked up at him, shook his head, and continued:

"This is the growing pain that civilization must experience, and they are only Stage Three mutated creatures; for Da Xia, they don't count for much."

Li Cheng'an sighed deeply; how could he not know this?

Not to mention that Da Xia had new Stage Fives besides Zhong Shanhai, even for Stage Threes, they had more than one person.

A beast horde with only Stage Three mutated creatures really didn't count for much for Da Xia.

But those who died in the war were lives that could have been saved.

"They will become the cornerstone of civilization."

"The future you will be like this, and I will be like this."

Zhong Shanhai said lightly.

His gaze looked into the distance, as if piercing through the void, seeing the mutated creatures ravaging Qingshan County, seeing the increasingly powerful mutated creatures emerging among various races in the future.

"Civilization always undergoes transformation in war."
