Chapter 712: Instead

"Now, do you believe what I said?"

"Believe me, we are one."

The old man finished speaking and then urged them on.

The countdown will end soon, and the monsters downstairs will rush up shortly.

Chen Yangtian's expression was excited; he felt explosive power surging within him.

All four attributes were fully restored, having absorbed the Awakened Ones' biological armor, and they became much more active.

He quickly issued the order, then gave a brief explanation.

No matter how resistant the Awakened Ones were, they had no choice but to comply.

In just a few seconds, all the severely wounded Awakened Ones on the rooftop turned into desiccated human-skin corpses.

Following that came a series of angry roars.

It seemed they could hardly control their own power.

One Awakened One, his face ferocious, with surging power churning inside him, frenziedly smashed the rooftop railing.

Very strong!

Without a doubt, this team of mine, when facing monsters, definitely has the strength to fight.

A rich fighting spirit mixed with a bloodthirsty meaning.

Chen Yangtian shook his head, wanting to become clearer.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

He always felt that the armor on his body seemed to merge with his physique.

"Charge out!"

A fierce shout.

Chen Yangtian made a move to lead the team in charging out.

Behind him, Luofeng, who had also absorbed the Awakened Ones, had a somewhat ferocious expression.

In the whole team, he was the weakest in strength.

Forcibly enhanced, participating in the underground city plan, he could hardly bear the surging power.

At the same time, the countdown ended completely.

"wuuu"

The piercing alarm blared, and monster howls came from downstairs.

Just as they were about to rush downstairs.

Suddenly it grew larger; the spiritual entity floating in midair spoke to stop them.

"Wait."

"There's still something left undone."

"What?"

He turned his head in astonishment.

Chen Yangtian looked at the somewhat unfamiliar spiritual entity, his eyes full of doubt.

His eyes were blood-red; he felt his thinking ability seemed to be suppressed.

Spiritual entity, wasn't it supposed to be the old man's appearance?

How did it become somewhat...

distorted?

"What else needs to be done?"

He blurted out the question.

He could already hear the knocking sound coming from downstairs.

It was a spider clutching a human head, crawling over at high speed.

"It's simple."

His visage blurred, like a distorted spiritual entity that suddenly exploded and spread.

In the expanding blue mist, the spiritual entity's face instantly turned into a terrifying monster.

"That is, to eat you!"

The blue mist suddenly coiled around all the soldiers, like countless tiny poisonous snakes.

In that instant, the startling change immediately roused Chen Yangtian.

He flew into a rage, uneasy.

"What exactly are you!?"

Realizing something was wrong, Chen Yangtian rapidly activated his spiritual energy, only to discover in shock.

The biological armor that originally supplied him with energy began to draw his own spiritual energy instead.

Ga—zhi

Bones twisted and broke.

All that could be seen was the biological armor on every Awakened One suddenly contracting inward, frenziedly squeezing their bodies.

Shrieks, wails.

As if trapped under a hydraulic press.

Every bone on his body creaked, flesh and blood crushed into a deformed mass.

After realizing the biological armor had a problem.

Chen Yangtian's gaze was horrified; even if his reaction were slower, he would have thought of a terrible fact.

The spiritual entity knows the function of the biological armor, and even wants to eat itself...

Underground City Plan!?

That door!?

"You..!!"

His skull was squeezed and deformed, Chen Yangtian watched wide-eyed as the snake head on his shoulder began to enlarge, as if being controlled by a spiritual entity.

"You... aren't you a survivor from the last apocalypse?!!"

"You aren't... a remnant...?"

A fear more terrifying than death.

Chen Yangtian trembled all over, his voice sounding like weeping blood in the intense pain.

"Remnant?"

"Is this the name you've obtained?"

A scoff.

The spiritual entity turned into blue mist, quickly condensing into a huge snake head, its white vertical pupils full of mockery.

"Where is there any remnant..."

"Where is there anyone who survived from last time!"

"This is something you guys imagined..."

A light chuckle.

It opened its mouth, inch by inch swallowing Chen Yangtian's skull.

"You... this bunch of damned monsters!!"

The skull was devoured.

In despair, Chen Yangtian let out a final unwilling roar.

Before death, he was almost on the verge of collapse.

It was not fear of his own death.

But he suddenly realized something.

The Underground City Plan has run into trouble.

The monsters inside the door have long come out.

On the rooftop.

The dazed Huaxia Military soldiers stood motionless among the monsters.

A spider embracing a human head wandered around them doubtfully.

The human head held in the spider's claws, a vengeful skull, as if unable to see them.

Standing at the front of the line.

Chen Yangtian expressionlessly rubbed his face, adjusting back to his original appearance amid a sound of bones joining.

"Almost done..."

He turned his head to look at the dazed Luofeng, tilting his head slightly.

Then he reached out and straightened Luofeng's head.

"If you're going to pretend, at least pretend a bit..."

His expression was languid.

He ignored the monsters surrounding him, slowly clenched his fist, and gave a soft low laugh.

"I didn't expect the plan to go even more smoothly than I imagined..."

"Thanks for this difficulty, really..."

He looked up at the sky shrouded in black mist; a scarlet moon, like it was about to hatch, was about to break out of its shell.

"Boom!!"

He stomped his foot on the floorboards below, and the entire building suddenly collapsed rapidly amidst violent trembling.

Dust and smoke billowed.

Large fragments of rubble swept past him, leaving no trace.

His brows furrowed.

Looking at the destructive power caused by his casual kick, he seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

A bit weak...

This body cannot fully bear his power.

He shook his head.

Chen Yangtian gave a light chuckle, opened the trial channel of the Huaxia war zone:

"All scattered Awakened Ones, gather to me."

"I have already activated the gene lock."

After sending that message, he then looked at Lin An's private chat channel.

His gaze flickered.

They... in the task assigned to them, seemed to mention Lin An.

Is it one of the variables?

Forget it, let's lure them over and kill them together.

Inside the church attic.

Lin An frowned tightly, his fingers tapping lightly.

His gaze locked onto the jumping death numbers.

Just now, the number representing death suddenly dropped by 33 people; how did it jump back up in an instant?

Within the flashing private chat channel, a message from Chen Yangtian rang out.
