Chapter 194

(PS: Thanks to the Alliance Leader Huan Jian Xia Dao for the alliance leader reward. I am adding one chapter specifically for this. Thanks again for the support.)

Monsters!

Endless monsters surged in like a tide!

Hao Cheng gave a soft shout, her speed incredibly fast. A red stream of light flashed, and she killed her way back and forth through the monster crowd.

Her speed actually defied science and physics.

Because she herself didn't have a physical body as powerful as Wu Pifu's, nor did she possess the various Qi-Jin controls of a martial artist. Even when her running speed exceeded the speed of sound, it wouldn't trigger a sonic boom or shockwave.

She was just purely fast, fast for no reason. Now her speed could reach one thousand meters per second!

With this running speed, her attack speed, dodging speed, defensive speed, etc., all increased by the same factor. Strange to say, she herself wasn't burdened by the acceleration of this speed, but her attacks were boosted by this acceleration. A simple three-edged thorn, as long as it was thrust out, it would certainly cause damage. These low-level monsters of the first rank couldn't last even a second in front of her.

It was seen that Hao Cheng turned around once, and hundreds of monsters were directly stabbed to death.

These monsters all looked like shrunken, dwarfed humanoids, with green skin, no eyes or noses on their faces, only a large, hideous, and terrifying mouth. They were about 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall, but they had immense strength, about half again as large as an ordinary adult man, and their numbers were extremely high, surging in from the darkness in a dense, black mass.

Humans had built defensive positions at the edge of the capital safety zone, and there was more than one defensive position.

Although technological weapons couldn't be used, old-fashioned traps, trenches, barbed wire, plus bows and crossbows, siege crossbows, iron spear formations, etc., could still be used. Human history was itself a history of war; if technological weapons couldn't be used, there were plenty of ways for cold weapons.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, and the monsters were too strong. With the moon's distortion and the outbreak of a great war outside the universe, all the monsters on Earth boiled over. First, second, third, fourth, and fifth-rank monsters all rioted together, surging toward all the safety zones where humans still existed.

The Supreme Empire continent fell first, followed by the People's Coexistence Nation continent.

Fortunately, most of the personnel from those two continents had already transferred to the Human Freedom Federation's safety zone, but this still resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, and the remaining soldiers fled in panic toward this last human territory.

This last safety zone was also besieged. Although the fifth-rank monster, the nine-headed dragon, was intercepted by Wu Pifu and both sides were currently fighting, there were also two fourth-rank monsters leading countless first, second, and third-rank monsters charging in. The defense line at the edge of the safety zone only blocked them for a few minutes before it was immediately broken by the monsters. Starting from the periphery, each defensive bunker immediately became a key target for monster attacks, and at the same time, a massacre began at the temporary settlements where a large number of civilians lived.

It was at this time that Hao Cheng and the others descended to the ground from the shuttle.

Once on the ground, they immediately began to fight the monsters, but there was no strategy, and the team was even scattered because their numbers were too few and the monsters' numbers were too many.

Hao Cheng and Hao Yunfeng fought side by side, together protecting the unconscious Gao Zhanggong, as well as Jiu Jiu and Daphne who were waiting at the ground flight vehicle base.

Hao Cheng killed a circle and ran back. She was already covered in sweat, seeing the few monsters lying beside Hao Yunfeng, and looking at the Samoyed lying on the ground with its head in its paws, as well as Jiu Jiu, who was anxiously trying to fly but was tied to the Samoyed by a rope.

Hao Cheng said to Jiu Jiu: "Be good, little bird, stay here quietly. He entrusted us to take care of you before he went to fight. He is fighting for his life, don't let him worry."

Jiu Jiu stood blankly for a long while upon hearing this, then seemed to fall dejectedly onto the dog's head, making Jiu Jiu sounds in a very small voice, the sound miserable and quite human-like.

Hao Cheng sighed. She looked at the various fires in the distance, both the fires on the battlefield and the fires in the residential areas in the distance, and even from far away, various screams and shouts could be heard. Everything seen was plunged into destruction and slaughter.

Hao Cheng and Hao Yunfeng guarded a narrow secondary tool storage room with only one entrance and exit. It was a relatively remote place in this base, and there were relatively few people here, with far fewer monsters than outside. The two of them had to protect a vegetable-like person, a bird, and a dog, and they were truly at their wits' end.

And in fact, only Hao Cheng had combat power. After Hao Yunfeng transmitted his sword intent to Wu Pifu, he now had to pant just from moving.

At this time, Hao Cheng cleared the surrounding monsters, and for the time being, no new monsters were seen. The two guarded the inside of the warehouse door, hiding carefully. Hao Yunfeng immediately smiled bitterly and said: "It's truly hellish. I never thought the Dream World would be so difficult and terrifying to this extent. If I don't die this time, I will definitely practice hard and never dare to drink and sleep secretly again."

Hao Cheng looked blankly into the distance and said: "I have experienced it... and I have experienced this kind of danger more than once. Chief Gao Zhanggong protected you too well. You must have been hovering in the baseline reality 0.9 or 0.8 world, right?"

Hao Yunfeng was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, we have indeed been hovering back and forth in the 0.9 and 0.8 Dream Worlds, but Gao Zhanggong also said that hovering is fine, and everyone can establish at most two or three 0.9 and 0.8 shelters, not too many. When we become stronger in the future, we still have to go to deeper shelters."

"Too slow."

Hao Cheng commented: "My captain once told us that the Dream World is actually the resources for us maintainers to become stronger, and it is a benefit given to us by the main brain. The real danger comes from the 'Weekend'. We don't have much time left. If we don't become stronger quickly, when the influence of the Weekend on us increases, no one will be able to survive then."

Hao Yunfeng smiled bitterly: "I know now, but at least we have to survive this time first... We can only watch the battle of the gods in the sky. The closest one is Wu Pifu's battlefield. If he loses, then we will all die."

"He won't lose!" Hao Cheng immediately stared at Hao Yunfeng and said decisively.

Hao Yunfeng was silent again. He asked carefully: "Buddy... you wouldn't happen to really like Wu Pifu, would you? But he... is a man!?" Hao Cheng's face immediately turned bright red. She waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Wh, wh, what are you saying! I wouldn't..."

Hao Yunfeng covered his face helplessly and said: "I'm telling you, buddy, you really shouldn't use your title anymore. If you can survive and go back to Gaia this time, and your body can still be repaired, I think you should just learn an extraordinary cultivation art and seal this title?"

Hao Cheng lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes.

Hao Yunfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that she was probably beyond saving. In game terms, was this called 'Mercy Fall' or something?

Just at this moment, the two looked up at the sky simultaneously and saw that the boundless brilliance seemed to have become dim, and at the same time, a large number of meteorites were breaking through the atmosphere.

"Damn it!"

Hao Yunfeng propped up his body and stood up. He looked at the sky and said: "God Chu Minghao wouldn't have shattered the moon again, would he!? This time he doesn't have a super mecha and a dragon rider system!"

While speaking, both felt a burst of palpitations. The speed of the meteorites falling from the sky was too fast, and the burning condition was also wrong. They were definitely not just simple meteorite fragments. Almost in the blink of an eye, they fell from the top of the atmosphere to a ten-thousand-meter altitude, then to a few thousand meters, and then even faster. In less than ten seconds, they had actually fallen to the earth and began to bomb small mushroom clouds on the Earth's surface.

"Not good! What is that!!"

Hao Cheng screamed, and at the same time, she hugged her arms, and dense goosebumps appeared on the skin of her arms.

It wasn't just Hao Cheng; Hao Yunfeng's reaction was even greater. He actually started retching directly.

Jiu Jiu and Daphne were also panicked. The two little animals with demon bloodlines had even sharper senses, and at this time, they both began to shrink into the corner of the storage room.

!

A meteorite landed three or four kilometers away from this airport, exploding with a boom. Both felt the ground shaking violently, and then they heard screams and wails. Those screams and wails didn't all come from human voices, but even the monsters were screaming and wailing.

And then they saw a scene that made their hearts go cold.

From the meteorite impact point, tentacles stretched out, and then an amorphous mountain of flesh emerged, crawling out of the meteorite crater. Its body was constantly changing, and no specific form could be seen, and it couldn't even be seen whether it was flesh or what color it was. The most critical thing was that when Hao Cheng and Hao Yunfeng looked at this thing, they both covered their eyeballs and screamed loudly.

In the two's eyeballs, tentacles as thin as hair were actually wandering. It wasn't until they lowered their heads completely and didn't look that these hair-sized tentacles dissolved into their eyeballs. Just this one moment, blood immediately gushed out from their eye sockets, and their vision immediately became blurred.

And then they heard a sound. That sound was very difficult to describe; it was like a steam whistle blowing, like rubbing a steel brush on glass, or perhaps a cat meowing, a baby crying. Blood also immediately flowed out of their ears.

At the same time, they felt intense pain, itching, numbness, and comfort on their skin, as if someone was scraping their flesh with a razor blade, and as if feathers were gently stroking their bodies.

And the ground seemed to have become soft, like gravel, and like flesh and blood. The air became sticky, as if wrapped in blood and plasma.

And their bodies also felt very strange, as if they had grown tentacles, wings, scales, and they also felt as if they had become a squirming maggot without hands or feet...

With the meteorite impact point as the core, the closer the people and monsters were, the more intense the influence they received, but there were also very few exceptions among them.

Martial artists!

All the martial artists seemed to only feel discomfort; they were not greatly affected!

Driven by some special induction, all the martial artists began to instinctively charge toward the meteorite impact site. And the closer their bodies were to this meteorite impact site, the greater their body changes were, but it wasn't turning into tentacles or meat chunks, but rather exoskeleton chitin began to grow on their body surfaces, their bodies became tall, their strength surged, their speed became faster, and at the same time, one to several long horns grew on the tops of their heads.

At the same time, deep in a high mountain on the fallen People's Coexistence Nation continent, in the backyard of an antique ancestral hall, a body that could be called perfect sat up abruptly from an arched seat.

"The spirit of the Heavenly Court returns without knowing, today I know that I am me..."

"Finally attained the Dao!"

The body stood up, and the body began to surge. In an instant, it turned into five meters in height, the whole body golden, the muscle lines clearly visible, as if cast in copper and iron.

The body stepped down, and within a radius of a thousand meters, it exploded violently. In the next instant, the body had already flown thousands of meters away, flying straight toward the direction of the largest human safety zone.
