The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

The firelight only burned on the surface of the sea.

It did not land on land.

The authorities still harbored a sliver of hope that they could hold onto S City.

The monster was rapidly approaching; about ten minutes had passed.

A slightly larger spider monster leaped directly out of the sea using the shockwave from the explosion.

Eight barbed limbs lashed through the air, lunging straight at the horned warrior at the front.

"Die!"

The horned warrior gripped his broadsword with both hands.

With a burst of power from his waist, the greatsword swept out with a dull thud as it cut through the air.

The monster split in two.

A few drops of green fluid spilled onto the warrior's scaly arms.

White smoke rose, and the scales were instantly corroded, leaving pitted marks.

The horned warrior didn't even utter a sound; with a flick of his wrist, he wiped the venom off his weapon.

"They're a bit troublesome. These monsters have a combat strength of at least a hundred, no wonder they can ignore bullets."

Combat strength is secondary; the main problem is the sheer number of them.

"Be careful, these monsters may not seem very strong, but they are highly poisonous!"

The mutated warriors behind them stepped forward simultaneously.

The shields crashed onto the sand, forming a steel wall.

Their pets weren't idle either; as soon as a monster came ashore, they would quickly approach and tear it to shreds.

However, these pets lacked coordination, resulting in a waste of resources.

The burly man who had just been wielding the warhammer stood at the very front of the crowd.

He stared intently at the backs of those figures, corroded by the green fluid yet refusing to back down.

He gripped the handle of the warhammer tightly with both hands.

A sense of regret rose in his heart; he had actually tried to kill the person who was protecting him.

The burly man bit his lip hard, and the rusty taste spread in his mouth.

He picked up his warhammer and strode forward.

He wanted to go up and help.

The drone hovering in mid-air emitted a piercing electrical blast from its horn once again.

The mechanical announcements drowned out the sounds of the waves and the explosions.

"Please leave immediately!"

"Don't linger!"

"The number of monsters is enormous; it's only a matter of time before we reach the shore!"

"You are currently in an extremely dangerous area!"

"Please proceed to G City immediately!"

"We have set up a top-level temporary shelter in City G!"

"Truth! Proceed to the G City shelter immediately, do not linger!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

The burly man stopped in his tracks.

He glanced back at the dense crowd behind him, then at the defensive line ahead.

Reason prevailed over impulse.

Going up there would be suicide, and would only cause trouble for the official warriors.

The burly man shouldered his warhammer and turned to run wildly in the opposite direction of the city.

The retreat wave erupted instantly.

Some people dragged their families along, while others stumbled and crawled.

The beach was littered with all sorts of things: shoes, backpacks, and even uneaten food.

Xin Qiyi stood still.

My brain is working like crazy.

Go to G City.

City G is a full 300 kilometers away from here.

The fact that the authorities have set up the shelter in G City indicates that there are stronger fortifications there, or that they have some kind of trump card to deal with this disaster.

Going to G City is indeed the best choice, but he doesn't want to leave just like that.

S City has not yet fallen, and everything is still uncertain.

perhaps.

It's just that perhaps there's still hope of holding onto S City?

Xin Qiyi turned to look at the Flame Hound beside him.

"What do you think? Should we stay or leave?"

At this moment, Xin Qiyi handed over the choice of whether to stay or leave to the little guy in front of him.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to leave the city where he grew up.

Because of the contract, the pet can sense Xin Qiyi's feelings at this moment.

The fire hound looked at Xin Qiyi, a fighting spirit suddenly rising in its eyes.

"Aww~~~"

Howling up to the sky.

"good!"

Xin Qiyi uttered a single word, and at the same time, all the hesitation on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile.

"Then we'll stay. As long as the authorities don't give up, we won't leave!"

......

at the same time.

The core command center of the Dragon Kingdom, located thousands of miles away from City S.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

On the huge electronic screen, hundreds of images were displayed, each showing the fierce battles in different areas along the long coastline in real time.

Black monsters and red flames intertwine to create an apocalyptic scene.

The five elderly men sat in front of the command platform, silent.

Every face bore an unyielding solemnity.

Old Qian had the most fiery temper, but at this moment he didn't say a word. Only the veins on the back of his hand gripping the armrest were bulging, revealing his inner anxiety.

Sudden.

A sudden, urgent ringing broke the silence.

It is the highest level of encrypted communication.

Chi Zhengyang picked up the red phone on the table with steady movements.

"I am Chi Zhengyang."

Lei Yue's urgent report, punctuated by the sound of wind, came from the other end of the phone.

"Chief Chi! We have already left the territory of the Holy Elephant Kingdom!"

"The Kingdom of Holy Elephant... has completely fallen."

"But Chen Feng and the others are still alive, and I have some important news!"

Chi Zhengyang's originally taut facial features relaxed slightly when he heard the name Chen Feng.

As he listened to Lei Yue's story, the seriousness on his face gradually faded.

From shock to disbelief, finally, a smile uncontrollably appeared on his usually stern face.

The smile grew wider and more pronounced.

In the end, he hung up the phone with a sense of relief and exhilaration.

"Change your route immediately; you don't need to return to Kyoto."

"Head to City S at full speed to provide support!"

"The monsters' main target is S City. S City is currently under the most pressure; we absolutely cannot allow it to become the monsters' entry point!"

After giving the order, Chi Zhengyang hung up the phone.

The smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and it stood out starkly in the command post shrouded in gloom.

Old Qian, who had been pacing anxiously beside him, suddenly stopped and glared at him with his fierce eyes.

"Old Chi! What are you laughing at?!"

"With the fighting on the front lines like that, can we expect any good news now?!"

His voice was so loud that it made the entire command room buzz.

The other three elderly people also looked over.

Chi Zhengyang didn't keep them in suspense. He looked around at his old buddies and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Chen Feng is still alive, everyone is still alive."

After he finished speaking, the command room fell silent.

Old Qian opened his mouth: "Really? That's really good news."

Without pausing, Chi Zhengyang dropped an even bigger bombshell.

"Not only can they live, but... even if they die, they can be resurrected."

"However, to respawn autonomously, you need to establish a 'safe camp' and a 'respawn point'."

He was brought back to life!

These four words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of the elderly people.

Just then, Old Wei, who had been silently looking out the window, suddenly spoke up.

He pointed out the window, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

"You mean...this?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

Below the command post building is a huge training ground used for daily drills.

At that moment, a small hill appeared out of nowhere on the empty playground.

A small mountain made up of countless supplies!

The guards on the playground had already surrounded them, and everyone's face was filled with shock and bewilderment.
