Chapter 1269: The Spacetime Tunnel Appears!

The two men in white coats in front both wanted to come out first; they were stuck hard at the doorway, blocking the path for those behind.

After being stuck for a minute, a loud scream was heard; those two men in white coats were shoved down from behind, their bones likely broken in several places.

Immediately after, people behind stepped on their bodies and ran out; in this situation, the two underfoot would be crippled even if they didn't die.

Ning Chen had no time to attend to this situation; his attention was entirely drawn to the anomaly in the sky.

At this very moment, the entire sky turned black-purple, and a huge black hole appeared in the sky, looking as if it could suck people in.

Seeing that black hole, Xiao Han's expression changed: "Ning Chen, it's a spacetime tunnel!"

Ning Chen naturally knew this was a spacetime tunnel; the question was, how did this spacetime tunnel appear here?

Suddenly, the black hole in the sky instantly turned white, and a beam of light shot straight down from there.

"Let's go take a look!"

Ning Chen immediately got into the RV; others hurriedly climbed up too. Only after the vehicle started did they realize Xu Ri's parents had secretly snuck on board.

At this moment, both of them looked more wretched than the other; their clothes were covered in stains and holes, and their hair was in utter disarray.

This sudden anomaly left everyone too busy to attend to the two who had climbed up; they panted heavily, recovering their stamina.

Ning Chen drove the car, heading full speed toward where the light appeared, even smashing through many infected along the way.

As the car gradually approached the light, once they got close, Ning Chen and Xiao Han could confirm completely that this was the light of the spacetime tunnel, and an unexpected pair of people were standing there, holding back the approaching infected.

Seeing the RV, Tian Ze showed a relieved smile.

From the moment the anomaly appeared in the sky, the Elder had led him to quickly leave the East District Base, heading toward the area of greatest sky anomaly.

Coincidentally, they were not far from that beam of light; almost as soon as the light touched down, they arrived here.

For some reason, the infected around were desperately trying to approach the light.

Although Tian Ze didn't know what was happening, seeing the Elder's serious gaze, he could roughly guess something.

So from the very beginning, he and the Elder had been here organizing the approach of those infected.

Ning Chen drove the car to the Elder's side, stopped the vehicle, and the people on board quickly got off.

Several of them possessed considerable abilities; with a few swift moves, they eliminated all the infected around.

"Alright, nothing should come for a while." The Elder's breathing was somewhat unsteady; after all, he was old. Even with strong abilities, one must admit to aging.

Ning Chen looked at the Elder and asked Lin Yi to bring over a stool for him to sit on.

"Elder, what is this situation?"

The Elder coughed lightly, then spoke: "I think you two both know what this is. Under no circumstances can the infected from this world enter inside. If they enter inside, people from other worlds will suffer."

Hearing this, Ning Chen frowned slightly: "Can the infected here travel through spacetime?"

"Cough, cough, roughly one out of ten can. The others will turn to powder upon approaching. But you must understand, even one is enough to cause trouble."

Indeed, if one infected bites a human, that human becomes infected. Then those two bite other humans, resulting in four infected. By such extrapolation, I fear it won't be long before the infected world becomes just like this world: a human hell.

Indeed, those infected cannot be allowed to approach.

Hearing words about spacetime, Xu Mu and Xu Fu's eyes filled with shock, but they soon became resigned. The two looked at that light, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, the two approached the white beam.

Xu Fu couldn't resist wanting to enter, and Xu Mu also reached out her hand.

Hearing Mu Mu was the first to notice their actions: "What are you doing? Come back quickly!"

Hearing Mu Mu's words, the two moved even faster toward the inside.

Xu Fu entered first, but miserable screams came from within.

Xu Mu's hand also felt piercing pain. She tried to pull it back, but it was futile.

A vine suddenly shot toward the two; the vine pulled both Xu Fu and Xu Mu out.

However, Xu Fu was already completely dead inside; his face showed an expression of agony, as if he had endured immense suffering before death.

Xu Mu's hand was completely severed due to the forceful pulling, and she fainted from the intense pain.

Looking at the two on the ground, one dead and one injured, Xu Ri and Xu Yue felt very complex emotions, but this was the retribution they deserved.

There was no time for them to be sentimental, because many infected suddenly appeared before them.

All the infected looked at them, or rather, at the spacetime tunnel behind them, with predatory intent.

Ning Chen immediately assigned tasks: the four corners—east, west, south, and north—required four groups for defense.

Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi guard the east; Huo Jinglin and Noah guard the west; the north is Xu Ri, Xu Yue, and Lin Yi; the south is Hearing Mu Mu, Xu Chenchen, and Tian Ze.

It could be said that a great battle was imminent; except for Ning Chen and Xiao Han, everyone else here was extremely tense.

After all, the scene before them was simply too spectacular.

It is estimated that all the infected in this world are rushing here.

There are now several hundred infected within range.

One infected suddenly roared; the rest of the infected, as if sensing a signal, charged upward together.

Whether affected by the spacetime tunnel or not, Ning Chen felt these infected seemed stronger than before by more than a little bit.

Daily updates of a hundred books? Free book search! New books released irregularly at any time.

Ning Chen did not let Gu Yanqi step forward; he calmly eliminated the surrounding infected.

Gu Yanqi released water abilities behind him to restrict the movements of those infected.

Ning Chen's grouping was fully considered; each group could perform combined attacks, and the total combat power of all groups was roughly equal.

Up to now, everyone's response was still very easy.

After about half an hour, the surrounding infected were finally mostly eliminated; the completely dead infected turned to ash on the ground and vanished with a gust of wind.

Ning Chen immediately activated his ability, and Xiao Han's ability followed suit. The two thoroughly explored the surroundings, ensuring no infected were visible within hundreds of kilometers, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Everyone rest well; I fear there will be a hard battle ahead."

Hearing the word "rest," most people chose to sit on the ground. This short half-hour felt like half a month; it was exhausting.
