Eight o'clock in the morning, outside the north gate of Kyoto.

The morning light pierced through the clouds, casting a beam of light across the wasteland. The night wind had ceased, and the air was crisp and clear, carrying with it a faint, almost imperceptible, smell of blood.

But at this moment, no one pays attention to these things.

The sight outside the North Gate made everyone who saw it hold their breath.

phalanx.

One after another, square formations stood in perfect unison on the open wasteland outside the city gates. Black military combat uniforms, silver-gray casual player gear, and the uniforms of the three major clans in gold, dark red, and indigo—all the colors intertwined, converging into a desolate sea of ​​death.

Each square formation is a perfect square, with one hundred people in each direction, totaling ten thousand people. Four such square formations have already been completed, and the fifth is currently being assembled.

Forty thousand people.

No, not only that.

Lord Wu'an stood on the city wall, his hands braced against the cold battlements, his gaze sweeping over the dark sea of ​​people below.

"Sir!" A young officer ran up the city wall, panting, and stood at attention, his eyes filled with excitement. "The fifth formation is assembled! The sixth formation is wrapping up! Preliminary statistics show that the actual number of participants has reached 48,700, and it's still increasing!"

Lord Wu'an's pupils contracted slightly.

Forty-eight thousand seven hundred people.

This number far exceeded his estimate last night.

"Why are there so many people?" he asked, frowning.

The young officer took a deep breath, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement: "Sir, after you issued the assembly order last night, the news spread. Originally, we only notified the military and the three major families, but... but those casual players somehow heard about it and spontaneously flocked to the city gate before dawn, saying... saying they wanted to go with us."

Lord Wu'an remained silent.

The young officer continued, "I stopped one of them and asked him. He said his comrade had died in the horde of zombies, killed by the Gu family. He said he wanted to avenge his comrade."

"Some people also say that his family lived in the north of the city, and when the northern defense line was breached, his whole family... was wiped out. He wants to settle accounts with the Gu family."

"Sir, these people... we can't stop them."

Lord Wu'an closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He thought of the horde of corpses.

Those people were all killed by the Gu family.

If it weren't for that old bastard Gu Tianxin colluding with the rotting corpses, leaking the city's defense layout, and luring a zombie horde to attack the city, those people wouldn't have died.

This grudge is remembered by the entire city of Kyoto.

"No need to stop them." Lord Wu'an opened his eyes, his voice low. "Let them follow."

The young officer stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

He turned and ran down the city wall.

Lord Wu'an looked down at the city walls again.

At this moment, the sixth formation was almost complete. The army of 50,000 stretched from the city gate all the way into the depths of the wasteland, a dark mass that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

The entire military was present.

Casual players spontaneously gathered together.

Fifty thousand people, a vast and imposing procession, their banners fluttering in the wind.

This was not just the appeal of Lord Wu'an; it was the anger of the entire capital.

On the city wall, the old commander appeared at some point. He walked to Wu'an Jun's side, leaned on the battlements with both hands, and glanced at the sea of ​​people below.

"Is everything ready?" the old commander asked calmly.

"Ready," Lord Wu'an nodded. "Forty-eight thousand seven hundred people, and the number is still increasing. We expect to exceed fifty thousand before departure."

The old leader was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Lord Wu'an".

"exist."

"Do you know what this battle means?"

Lord Wu'an took a deep breath: "I understand."

"explain."

"The Gu family has been operating in Kyoto for over a century, deeply entrenched. If they escape this time, it will be difficult to catch them again in the future." Wu Anjun's voice was low and deep. "Moreover, they colluded with the rotting corpses, sold intelligence, and lured a zombie horde to attack the city, killing tens of thousands of players. This revenge must be taken."

He paused, then raised his voice: "More importantly, if we let the Gu family go this time, other forces will think that the price of colluding with the rotten corpses is nothing more than this. Then there will be a second Gu family, a third Gu family, a fourth Gu family. Kyoto will be finished."

The old commander looked at him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Go," the old commander patted him on the shoulder. "This battle is one of victory only, defeat is not an option."

Lord Wu'an stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!"

He turned around and strode down the city wall.

The moment Lord Wu'an stepped out of the city gate, the eyes of 50,000 people all fell on him.

He stood on the open ground in front of the city gate, facing a desolate sea of ​​people, with the majestic walls of Kyoto behind him.

He took a deep breath and spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, but every word was clearly heard by the 50,000 people present.

"Brothers."

"Three days ago, the zombie horde descended. Many of us died. General Sun, more than sixty brothers from the core guard, and tens of thousands of brothers from the four directions of the East, South, West, and North districts, were forever left on that battlefield."

The entire room fell silent.

No one speaks.

Lord Wu'an's voice continued, growing heavier and heavier: "Their deaths were not a natural disaster, but a man-made one."

"It's because of the Gu family!"

"It's that old bastard Gu Tianxin!"

"He colluded with the rotting corpses, revealing the entire defense layout of Kyoto to them!"

"Tens of thousands of people! Tens of thousands of lives!"

"Tell me, will you avenge this?!"

"Report!!!"

Fifty thousand people roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Lord Wu'an continued, "The Gu family is unworthy to be called human beings with us. We should not show them any sympathy. Today, we are sending troops to attack the Gu family not to seize territory or fight for profits, but to give an explanation to our fallen brothers!"

He raised his sword, the tip pointing directly north.

"In this battle, annihilate the Gu family! Leave no one alive!"

"Annihilate the Gu family! Leave no one alive!"

Fifty thousand people roared in unison, their voices echoing across the wasteland, shaking even the distant tree branches.

Lord Wu'an took a deep breath and swung his battle sword down fiercely:

"Set off!"

Fifty thousand people began to move.

Vast and mighty, like a black torrent, it surged northward.

On the city wall, the old commander stood behind the battlements, watching the sea of ​​people gradually disappear into the distance.

At the city gate, the players who were not participating in the battle stood on both sides of the road, watching the team depart into the distance.

There were elderly people, women, children, and wounded people; they were all watching them go.

An elderly woman with white hair stood by the roadside, leaning on a cane, watching the young soldiers walk past her. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her lips trembled, and she murmured, "Revenge...you must get revenge...my son...my son died in the horde of zombies..."

A little girl, about seven or eight years old, rode on her father's shoulders, waving her tiny hands and shouting in a childish voice, "Go, uncles! Kill the bad guys!"

The group walked further and further away, gradually disappearing at the edge of the wasteland.

At the city gate, only the crowds who had watched them leave remained, along with the lingering shouts in the air.

One hundred and thirty kilometers away, the Gu family's secret base.

When Shen Xi emerged from the blessed land, the sunlight shone directly on his face.

He stretched his limbs, his bones cracking slightly. He had spent nearly fifty hours in the blessed land, five hours outside, and a full thirty hours resting. The rest of the time was spent adjusting his condition, checking his equipment, and planning his route.

At this moment, he was in high spirits. He has recovered to his peak condition.

"Cool."

He took a deep breath, squatted behind the big tree outside the cave entrance, and instantly activated his Eye of Truth.

Golden light swirled in his pupils, his gaze piercing through layers of rock walls, taking in the entire secret base of the Gu family.

The entrance to the cave had already been dealt with. The bodies of the guards killed by the ghost child last night had been removed, the bloodstains had been cleaned up, and even the stench of blood in the air had been deliberately masked by sprayed chemicals. If Shen Xi hadn't personally orchestrated last night's killings, he would have thought that nothing had ever happened here.

However, this opening is clearly designed for a single person to enter and exit.

Shen Xi frowned.

If a large army arrives, it's impossible for tens of thousands of people to all squeeze through this cave entrance. Besides, that old bastard Gu Tianxin must have prepared more than one escape route inside the cave; what if he escapes through another exit…

"We must find all the entrances and exits."

Shen Xi stood up and moved quickly along the edge of the hill. The X-ray vision of his Eye of Truth allowed him to see through the rock walls and search for any possible traces of man-made structures.

He first went around to the north side of the hill.

The terrain here is steeper than on the south side, with dense vines and shrubs growing on the almost vertical rock walls, making it look no different from an ordinary mountain.

However, the X-ray vision effect of the Eye of Truth allowed Shen Xi to see what was behind the rock wall.

A huge cave.

No, it's not a cave, but a man-made passage. It's at least five meters wide and over three meters high, enough for a truck to pass through. Every ten meters or so, an emergency light illuminates the passage with its dim glow. At the end of the passage is a heavy iron gate, guarded by a dozen heavily armed guards.

"North side, large entrance/exit."

Shen Xi noted the location and continued moving.

He went around to the east side of the hill.

The terrain here is gentler than on the north side, with waist-high wild grass growing on the hillside, rustling in the morning breeze. The clairvoyant effect of the Eye of Truth penetrates the wild grass and soil, revealing another underground passage.

It is just as wide as the north side, and has the same emergency lights and guards.

"East side, large entrance/exit."

carry on.

West side.

Same structure, same guard configuration.

"West side, large entrance/exit."

There are three large entrances/exits, located in the north, east, and west directions. Including the small opening on the south side that only allows one person to pass at a time, there are a total of four entrances/exits.

Shen Xi returned to the large tree outside the south entrance of the cave, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"Gu Tianxin, you old bastard, you've certainly left yourself plenty of escape routes."

Unfortunately, he encountered his own discerning eye.

All escape routes have been exposed.

Shen Xi closed her eyes and mentally constructed a topographical map of the entire Gu family's secret base. The locations of the four entrances and exits, the surrounding terrain, and the distribution of guards were all clearly marked.

Then, he opened his eyes and looked south.

On the horizon, a dark, shadowy mass could be faintly seen.

That was an army of 50,000.
