Chapter 377
Chapter 377 The God of War Descends
At this moment, Ling Mo realized the seriousness of the situation.
He quickly opened the communication channel and said, “Day Sun, help me out and protect my family.”
His family had moved close to the Chicks when the Cataclysm hit, and things were still quite good in that area. If the Fatty was there, there shouldn’t be much trouble.
The Fatty answered cheerfully, “Don’t worry, with me around, they’d have to step over my dead body to get to them—Old Ling, fly without worries, I’ve got your back.”
Xia Xinyan paused.
She had just planned to go over there and bring Ling Mo’s family back, but Ling Mo preempted her by sending the Fatty.
So what about them…
“Let’s go, we head to the Summer Family.” Ling Mo instantly manifested a set of Battle Armor and said seriously, “Jin Cang and the others should still be in the Dark Zone. Even if someone notified them, it would take them some time to get back. We should go and help first.”
By now, the separation between the Dark Zone and the real world had grown significantly. Although on the surface, one only needed to survive ten minutes of safe time to return, the actual restrictions were quite considerable. If they wanted to provide support, it was definitely faster for them to go over.
Xia Xinyan was silent for a moment and then nodded.
Before leaving, Ling Mo also distributed Battle Armor to all combat personnel in the Chicks, inadvertently boosting their presence in the Eagles Alliance, and then he and Xia Xinyan went to the Summer Family.
The Summer Family Villa Area wasn’t far from here; with both of them rushing, they could even make it in under ten minutes. However, upon arrival, they found the situation was worse than they had imagined—
Several outer villas had been completely destroyed, the lawns were ablaze, and terrified screams echoed everywhere, turning this place into a living hell.
Naturally, there were ability users left behind to defend the Summer Family, but there were nearly ten Demons attacking, far exceeding what they could handle. So by the time Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo arrived, the remaining personnel were struggling to hold the line, desperately trying to keep the monsters at bay to buy time for reinforcements.
But it seemed they wouldn’t hold out for long.
The leader of the defense team was named Zhang Zhen, and his ability was also to control flames. He had directly used the area’s greenery to erect a wall of fire against the oncoming monsters, but there were also monsters with flame abilities on the other side, and breaching the defense was only a matter of time.
This made Zhang Zhen’s mood even heavier.
“Captain! We can’t hold on much longer!” someone in the team shouted, “We should get out of here! It’s getting dangerous!”
“Just wait a bit longer!” Zhang Zhen gritted his teeth. “It’s our responsibility to protect this place! We cannot say ‘give up’ until the very last moment!”
“By the last moment, it’ll be too late to leave, Captain! Even if this place is destroyed, the Young Master will understand when he returns! It’s unavoidable! But if we don’t leave now, we will truly run out of time!” another shouted.
Zhang Zhen fell silent for two seconds, once more intensifying the flames of the wall before shouting, “Old Ba! Take some people and get Mr. Xia out of here! Leave this place to me!”
“But…”
“But nothing! Go!!”
“……Alright! Captain, you must hold on! We’ll be back soon!”
With a group leaving, the pressure of resistance surged several levels.
Zhang Zhen also felt he was reaching his limit.
Seeing the monsters continuously assaulting this line of defense in various ways, Zhang Zhen’s heart sunk deeper.
He felt that today might be the day he would meet his end here.
Unfortunately… he ultimately couldn’t protect the Young Master’s home…
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhen asked, “Has there been any response from the Young Master?”
“No,” answered a young man who looked barely over twenty, his face filled with helplessness, “It seems the Young Master went to explore a dangerous area, and the people from the Dark Zone base can’t contact them.”
“Can’t we ask the Dark Zone base to send someone back to help?”
“The Dark Zone base suffered a Demon attack last night. I heard many were injured, so they need to prevent a second attack, and there’s simply no manpower to send reinforcements.”
“Damn it! Everything is going wrong today!” Zhang Zhen couldn’t help but curse, then seemingly made up his mind and whispered, “Forget it, you all hurry and leave, go help Old Ba and the others.”
“That Captain…”
“I’ll stay here alone.”
“No way!” the young man immediately shook his head, “How can we leave the Captain behind?!”
“I said go and you go! What’s with the nonsense!”
“Wait…”
“What are you waiting for?!”
“Sky… the sky!!”
Noticing the astonished expressions of the others staring at the sky, Zhang Zhen slowly looked up.
Then he saw a giant Mecha descending from the heavens.
In this despairing night, it sliced through the starry sky and fell into the midst of the monsters outside.
It even made the ground tremble.
And that Mecha didn’t pause at all; drawing its sword, it struck, instantly cutting the most boisterous monster in half.
The remaining monsters snapped back to reality and roared angrily, charging at the Mecha.
Then, the Mecha drew another sword—dual-wielding energy blades, like a mechanical reaper, it unleashed a massacre among the monsters.
So much so that Zhang Zhen and the others were left dumbfounded.
The young man couldn’t help but mutter, “Holy… is this… a God?”
In the next moment, after the Mecha decapitated a monster that lunged at it, the cockpit opened, and Xia Xinyan immediately jumped out of Ling Mo’s embrace, grabbing the edge of the cockpit, flipping, and landing on top of the Mecha. Then, using the raised arm of the Mecha for leverage, she gracefully leapt over the fire wall and landed right in front of Zhang Zhen and the others, while the cockpit closed, and Ling Mo swiftly struck down another monster.
All the actions flowed together smoothly, as if they had practiced it countless times. Even in battle, it exuded a strong sense of spectacle.
Leaving everyone staring in awe.
“She really is an angel…” The massive joy of moving from despair to hope caused the young man’s brain to momentarily short-circuit.
Zhang Zhen slapped him, “What angel! That’s the Young Lady!”
Saying this, he lowered his head to Xia Xinyan, “This guy’s a bit slow in the head, Young Lady, don’t mind him.”
“It’s fine,” Xia Xinyan waved her hand, “What about the others?”
“I just sent people to get Mr. Xia out of here… They should be on their way to the bunker now,” Zhang Zhen replied.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xinyan’s expression slightly changed, “Take us there, quickly.”
“……What’s wrong, Young Lady?” Zhang Zhen was momentarily taken aback.
“The entire city is teeming with Demons; it’s more dangerous outside than here. They’ll never reach the bunker,” Xia Xinyan said, pursing her lips slightly.
She had come too late.
