I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

After Zi Bai finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged in the spatial passage.

She poured out the primordial energy liquid from the test tube, and the purple liquid floated in her palm, transforming into a dense purple light that enveloped her entire body.

The source energy in the energy liquid was slowly released, condensing into a blurry humanoid outline in front of her.

Just as Zi Bai was using his primordial energy to create a clone, a crimson mist enveloped the area outside Jiangnan City.

Tens of thousands of superhumans stood guard on the city's defenses with grim expressions, creating a somber atmosphere.

These are all the awakened beings in Jiangnan City.

There are only a little over a hundred people at the SSS level, several thousand at the SS and S levels, and the majority of the rest are at the A level.

Jiangnan Base has the weakest defenses among the six major bases in the Dragon Kingdom.

Whether it's the superhumans or the military forces, they are not on the same level as the other five major bases.

Of course, the number of ordinary people in the Jiangnan base is also very small, only a few hundred thousand.

On the city wall, Isaac and his eight companions stood together, exchanging glances, all with expressions of having been tricked.

They paid a huge price, paying tribute to the emperor to move into Jiangnan City.

They thought they were coming to seek refuge, but it turned out that Wang Wei was "dead," and they had to guard the city themselves.

Who can I complain to about this?

The Zhang and Xie families shared similar feelings.

Xie Zhu and Zhang Duan, along with their descendants, also went up to the city defenses.

The descendants of these two families are mostly fifteen or sixteen-year-old children.

But in this great battle, only the level of awakened superpowers matters, not age.

On one section of the city wall, Zhou Yao led her eight young wives up the wall.

Currently, only four people with superpowers in the entire Jiangnan city have not come.

One is Li An, because no one could persuade her to come.

The other three are Fatty Li and his two S-class women.

In the fat man's words, no time for cultivation can be wasted.

Before the beast tide arrives, he must cultivate without stopping for a moment.

Given the fat man's special circumstances, no one said anything.

Today is the second day since Chen Junjie predicted that disaster would strike Jiangnan City.

However, outside Jiangnan City, not a single strange beast could be seen.

"Are they not coming?" one of the superhumans muttered to himself.

Although it seemed impossible, apart from the distant red mist, nothing unusual had occurred outside Jiangnan City.

At the first line of defense, even the more than one hundred SSS-level ability users, led by Zhao Lie, were somewhat confused.

"Are you really not coming?" Liu Zhiqiang stood next to Zhao Lie and asked in a low voice.

Although he wasn't SSS-level, he remained in the inner circle because of his relationship with Wang Wei.

No one responded. But everyone hoped so.

However, a hundred kilometers away from Jiangnan City, a beast tide was silently approaching.

The crimson fog obscured everything.

Beneath the fog, countless strange beasts stretched as far as the eye could see, without roaring or any outbursts of supernatural power.

Under the command of the golden-eyed beast, they surged towards Jiangnan City like a rising tide, slowly but irresistibly.

Until noon, after a tense morning, nothing happened.

The crimson fog was still in the distance, and the area outside the city remained empty.

People started talking in hushed tones.

"Did the prophet make a mistake?" someone asked.

"Impossible. When did the prophet ever make a mistake?"

"Why aren't they here yet?"

No one can answer.

Zhao Lie stood at the highest point, his brows furrowed. There was no signal on the radar, and he couldn't see a shadow with the naked eye. Even the crimson mist was as still as a painting.

Suddenly, Zhao Lie's pupils contracted sharply.

"Enemy attack!!!"

His voice pierced the somber silence of the city wall.

The superhumans on the city defenses instantly unleashed various colored supernatural lights, while the military's heavy weapons were aimed at the fog outside the city.

But outside the city, there was still nothing to be seen.

But three seconds later, the ground began to tremble, from slight to violent, from undulating to raging.

On the city wall, everyone's face was deathly pale.

In the distance, the crimson mist exploded with a deafening roar.

A vast array of strange beasts surged forth from the crimson mist, unleashing countless phenomena simultaneously, including thunder, frost, crimson fog, wind blades, and blood rain, like a blooming flower of death.

The distance is less than one kilometer.

Everyone was stunned.

How did they get so close?

"Fire!"

The military commander's voice boomed across the communications channel.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—"

The heavy artillery on the city's defenses fired first.

"Da da da..."

The automatic fire network was activated simultaneously, with anti-aircraft machine guns, rapid-fire cannons, and electromagnetic guns unleashing countless tongues of fire from the city's defensive fortifications.

Bullets and shells rained down like a storm.

But this beast tide is too dense, even exceeding the scale of yesterday's beast tide at the Southwest Base!

Countless strange beasts trampled over the corpses of their own kind as they approached the city walls.

800 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters.

"Attack!"

Zhao Lie roared and was the first to leap out.

Thunder erupted around him, and blue arcs of electricity charred the surrounding low-level beasts.

Behind him, more than a hundred SSS-level superhumans took off simultaneously, crashing into the beast horde like meteors.

But this beast tide is too big!

The number of high-level alien beasts far exceeds the capacity of these hundred-plus people.

More than a hundred people were like a lone boat in the boundless tide of beasts.

Just then, a hurricane blew in from the north.

A fierce wind howled across the city walls, dispersing the crimson mist that permeated the battlefield.

Then, everyone saw it clearly—

Outside the city, the beast tide stretched like a black ocean across the wilderness, extending from the horizon all the way to the city.

Endless, densely packed, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Low-level beasts led the way, followed by high-level beasts, their combined strength blotting out the sky.

Zhao Lie's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.

More than a hundred SSS-level ability users wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap in the teeth of a beast tide of this scale.

"withstand!"

Zhao Lie roared, and lightning exploded around him, knocking away the three attacking beasts.

But even more strange beasts surged up.

"Boom—" An SSS-level ability user was hit head-on by a high-level thunder beast, his chest caved in, he coughed up blood, and fell from the sky.

"We can't beat them at all..." someone murmured, their voice filled with despair.

In just a few moments, the defense line began to collapse completely.

The military unleashed all its firepower, and the superhumans fought fearlessly.

However, the sheer number of beasts was simply too overwhelming.

It's about to become unstoppable.

Just as this thought arose in everyone's mind—a person appeared on the city wall without anyone noticing.

She stood there quietly, and the beast horde in front of her suddenly stopped their charge!

Li An.

She finally arrived.

Zhao Lie looked up and saw her, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

Li An's strength is unfathomable; if she were to make a move, perhaps...

Li An's grey eyes gazed at the boundless beast tide, his fingers trembling slightly, about to make a move—

"boom!"

A loud bang came from inside the city, shaking the city walls.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look.

A giant club shot out from inside the city.

It was entirely black, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

The giant rod instantly stretched thousands of meters in length!

The giant club stretched across the sky like a pillar stabilizing the sea, sweeping across from east to west.

"call--"

The wind howled like a mountain collapsing.

Wherever the giant club swept, whether it was a low-level or high-level alien beast, it was all knocked away, smashed, and crushed into mincemeat.

The beast tide within a kilometer radius outside the city was wiped out in an instant, leaving a shocking scorch mark on the wilderness, as if it had been erased by a giant with an eraser.

On the city wall, everyone was stunned.

Zhao Lie's mouth was open, and he forgot to close it.

Zhou Yao and her eight young wives were panting and speechless.

Even Li An stopped what he was doing, and his gray eyes turned toward the giant rod.

After the giant club swept across, it did not fall to the ground, but slowly rose upwards, like a pillar reaching to the sky.

The military commander was stunned.

"This...this is..."

"boom"

The beast tide was boiling over in the distance!

The endless tide of beasts surged in again.

The giant club, which was being erected, suddenly swelled and grew larger, and then, to everyone's astonishment, it crashed down on the beast horde from above!

In that instant, the wind howled and the world changed color.
