Chapter 114: Humans, A Crushing Defeat

……

Bewilderment.

This is the only word in Ding Mo's heart right now.

Below the steps, a giant Ugly Duckling passed by; Ding Mo did not pay it any mind, only turning his head to glance at the two corpses beside him.

One of them was slumped on a high-backed throne, its head twisted 180 degrees, staring at the ceiling with the back of its skull. The other was kneeling on both knees, its head smashed fiercely into the floor tiles, viscous blood spreading along the cracks.

The state of death could be called extremely bizarre!

It's just that... Ding Mo lowered his head and discovered that he was actually wearing a dark red Victorian-style long dress!?

The satin was embroidered with cheap dark patterns, the corset cinched so tightly his ribs ached, and the rough lace stand-up collar rubbed against his Adam's apple.

"How did I end up wearing a dress?"

Having not long woken up, Ding Mo looked around in bewilderment—his mind was currently in great chaos, and he couldn't make sense of the situation at all.

Slap!

Suddenly, a clump of viscous liquid seeped down from the ceiling. Ding Mo turned his head in confusion to look, discovering it was a clump of ink-colored semi-coagulated liquid.

Soaking in the liquid was a piece of jade.

"This is..." Ding Mo looked at it, feeling it seemed somewhat familiar. A snow-white figure flashed through his mind.

"Ding Mo?" In a daze, a young girl's voice seemed to ring in his ears.

"What? Who are you?" Ding Mo came back to his senses only to find there was no girl at all, and that piece of jade soaking in the liquid had already, like a soft-bodied creature, swallowed the Prince Mask on the throne!

Afterwards, it took the initiative to burrow into Ding Mo's clothing.

……

At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away.

Rumble!

A massive explosion rang out in the "forest" outside the reinforced concrete Defense Line.

It was called a forest, but at this moment, most of the area here had already turned into pitch-black scorched earth! Bullets, firelight, and monsters like a Tide were dancing in mid-air!

"Ah—!" A soldier on the Defense Line had exhausted his ammunition and still hadn't managed to force back the charging furry monsters. But though there was fear in his eyes, he did not retreat in the slightest; instead, he drew a short dagger from his waist and charged forward with a roar!

He was subsequently smashed into a meat patty by the furry monsters.

The twisted dagger fell into the soil nearby, mixed in with the dense, scattered bullet casings.

Looking across the battle line, there were equally tragic battles everywhere! This soldier was considered lucky; at least he could die a glorious death. Some monsters carried inherent mental Pollution, and soldiers would go insane on the spot upon contact,

and after shooting several of their own brothers to death, they would be executed by the officers supervising the battle behind them.

Everywhere there were explosions, screams, and the roar of gun muzzles. The monsters kept falling, yet they kept climbing back up, rolling back in!

Among them was the Red-Hooded Werewolf that Ding Mo had "killed" once not long ago!

Not far behind the Defense Line, in the command tower.

The cold-faced officer stood here just as he had ten years ago, watching all of this.

But this time, his gaze was somewhat dim—unlike the last time, this monster Tide had not receded for a long time...

Watching more and more people die, the soldiers retreating step by step, and the monsters even increasing in number, he had to arduously issue the final order to the adjutant standing behind him:

"Apply to the superiors... to initiate the final contingency plan!"

As soon as these words left his mouth.

Behind him, the adjutant froze for a full ten seconds, until the cold-faced officer turned his head and stared at him with an unquestionable gaze.

Only then did he react, grit his teeth, and turn around, trembling slightly.

History might be divided here! It's just that he didn't know if, after this incident, there would be their names on the heroes' tombstones, or even,

if humanity would still have a monument to commemorate heroes!

Because there was no indication that a Nuclear Weapon could kill these monsters...

But, just as he was about to act, he was suddenly stopped.

He turned his head in confusion, only to see the cold-faced officer grabbing the railing with both hands, his knuckles turning white from excessive force!

He couldn't even believe his own eyes!

The Tide of monsters had suddenly receded!

……

In the Hotel, in a certain corridor.

Ding Mo angrily stepped a high-heeled shoe onto the head of the "Substitute Actor" lying on the ground!

"You guy, why do you keep following me? Don't you have a home of your own?

"And you few!"

He looked toward the distance at the "Meat Pillar Man," "Black Big Frog," and the "Lettuce" with hands and feet, who were looking at him expectantly, and said impatiently:

"You keep swaying back and forth, isn't it annoying? I'm still in a hurry to figure out where I am! Can you stop adding to the chaos!

"Go back to your homes and find your mothers!"

Ding Mo put his hands on his hips; a black piece of jade was hanging on his chest, which was revealing a large expanse of muscle due to the style of the long dress.

It was precisely the Ink Jade that had just absorbed the "Prince Mask."

As soon as Ding Mo said this, a powerful suction force was immediately generated in the void! The monsters began to shriek and whimper, and in the end, they could not resist and were blown away!

Soon they all disappeared from the corridor, leaving only a mess behind.

At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away, that "war" also ceased...

"What a bunch of unruly brats." Ding Mo didn't know why this happened either; his memory had some problems,

but it was good that the matter was resolved.

With no monsters to be an eyesore, he continued to step forward, while in his mind, a wave of sharp pain still came from time to time.

Whenever he was about to recall something, this kind of thing would happen, as if his soul were warning him—you must not remember!

"Damn it... then where am I supposed to go next?" Ding Mo became confused.

After wandering for a long time, perhaps out of instinct, or perhaps due to his nature, he recalled some trivial things.

"Oh, right... Lu Yue? She should be waiting for me." Ding Mo revealed a look of sudden realization, then made up his mind:

"I must leave this place."

After identifying the direction, Ding Mo walked toward the outside.

Clack, clack! The sound of high heels echoed in the slightly enclosed space, yet he did not find it strange at all and continued to walk while wearing them.

Within the Defense Line, countless people raised their arms and cheered; while some were sorrowful, they also seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, revealing smiles on their faces.

The officer on the command tower also let go of the railing, breathed a sigh of relief, and revealed a smile.

Humanity had won!

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Yet they did not know that, inside the Hotel, a certain wandering figure was muttering something to himself.

"Should I call those guys from just now? Let them come and help?"

"After all, they seem quite obedient..."

As soon as his voice fell, in the Hotel lobby, the lid of the Crystal Coffin seemed to twitch.

A trace of black slime seeped out from inside because of it...

In the familiar tea room,

Lu Yue breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the heart to take a sip of tea—the intense noises that had lasted for nearly 8 hours just now had truly made her feel quite uneasy.

But it was fine now; it was finally over.

But after only a while, Lu Yue began to worry about Ding Mo outside again.

"It's so dangerous outside; although big brother is powerful, he won't be in trouble, right?" Thinking this, the girl couldn't help but run to the window, gazing longingly into the distance.

She and her mother were counting on him; he must not have anything happen to him!
