"What did you just say? Say it again?"
Hou Changfeng’s voice carried a tremor he hadn't even noticed himself.
His bloodshot eyes, a result of countless late nights, were fixed on Li Gang’s face, as if trying to discern sothing profound.
Seeing Hou Changfeng’s questioning expression, Li Gang patiently repeated himself.
"Governor, it's absolutely true! Donghai City really held out!"
Hou Changfeng looked as if to say, 'Are you ssing with ?'
He ripped open the buttons of his collar, revealing a sweat-soaked shirt underneath, and gasped for air.
Xining City is about to fall.
And you're telling Donghai City held out?
Is that possible?
Is that reasonable?
How is this any different from soone telling you, 'Hello, I am Qin Shi Huang'?
Hou Changfeng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
He looked at Li Gang with a serious expression, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking,
He continued, "What exactly happened?"
"It's like this..."
Li Gang was about to narrate everything that had occurred in Donghai City.
But Hou Changfeng abruptly waved his hand, cutting him off.
"Wait, let’s go to the West City Gate first."
"You can report to on the way."
Li Gang also knew the battle was urgent. He nodded heavily and followed Hou Changfeng out of the command center... anwhile,
At the teleportation plaza in the center of Xining City.
A dazzling white light flashed.
Gandalf and Caesar’s figures silently appeared on the teleportation array.
The plaza was in chaos.
Military personnel hurried about, dical staff carried stretchers, and professional fighters, faces filled with terror and bewildernt, teleported in from various fallen cities.
Piercing alarms and the roar of explosions from afar intertwined, turning this once bustling city center into a veritable Hell.
Noticing soone had teleported in, a female military squad mber, responsible for reception, quickly walked over.
Her crisp military uniform was stained, and her face showed undisguised fatigue, but her eyes were still sharp.
"You must be refugees teleported from other cities, right?"
Her voice was clear and her speech rapid.
"Follow , I'll take you to the temporary camp for registration."
Zhou Huai’s consciousness imdiately shifted to Caesar.
He observed the valiant female squad mber before him and spoke calmly.
"We are not refugees."
"We are here to provide support."
The female squad mber paused slightly, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
She re-examined the two individuals before her.
One wore a star moon magic robe, possessing a mysterious aura, his depth unfathomable.
The other had platinum blonde hair, handso beyond that of a Mortal, but no energy fluctuations of a professional fighter could be sensed from him, like an ordinary person.
"Just the two of you?"
She asked, her tone carrying undisguised suspicion.
Caesar nodded calmly.
"Which city are you from?"
"Donghai City."
At this, the female squad mber was even more bewildered.
Donghai City?
Of course she knew it.
The epicenter of this beast tide, a city long implicitly abandoned by the military high command.
It was said that the scale of the beast tide there was several tis more terrifying than in Xining City.
Now, Donghai City probably needed more support than Xining City.
How could it still have the capacity to support Xining City?
She was almost certain that these two were professional fighters who had escaped from Donghai City.
They had fabricated such a ridiculous lie for the sake of their pathetic self-esteem.
The female squad mber sneered inwardly.
However, she did not expose them on the spot.
With the battle in Xining City intensifying, manpower was scarce, and every person added to the strength.
Even two boastful individuals were better than none.
Thinking this, her expression returned to a professional formality.
"Since you are here to provide support, then, according to protocol, please state your na, profession, and Rank."
"I will assign you to the most suitable combat team based on your strength."
Zhou Huai couldn't be bothered to waste ti with her.
He had his own plans.
Gandalf, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke coldly.
"Foolish Mortals, do not waste my ti."
His deep eyes didn't even glance at the female squad mber, as if he were speaking to the air.
"I ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) have my own arrangents."
The female squad mber’s smile instantly froze on her face.
In all her life, this was the first ti she had been called “Foolish Mortals” to her face.
A surge of anger flared up from her heart.
"What do you an?"
She glared at Gandalf, her voice unconsciously rising a few octaves.
"This is an ergency warti! All professional fighters must obey the unified deploynt of the military!"
"You..."
Her words were cut short.
An unexpected turn of events!
"Pfft—!"
On the edge of the plaza, a fire hose, used for city greening, burst without warning!
A powerful stream of water, as if alive, transford into a crystal-clear Water Dragon, roaring as it coiled around Gandalf’s waist!
The next second, the Water Dragon exerted force!
Dragging Gandalf’s body, it shot through the air towards the East City Gate at an incredible speed!
The speed was extre, leaving only a faint watery trace in the air.
"This... this..."
The female squad mber’s mouth hung wide open, enough to fit an egg.
She stared blankly in the direction Gandalf had disappeared, her mind instantly blank.
"Wait... wait a minute!"
"You are not allowed to act without authorization! You must obey orders!"
However, Gandalf’s figure had already vanished into the sky.
She couldn't be heard anymore.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
She turned her head indignantly, ready to vent her anger on the remaining platinum-haired young man.
However, she froze again.
The space before her was empty.
The impossibly handso platinum-haired young man had also vanished without a trace, she knew not when.
The female squad mber was stunned at first.
Then she stomped her foot in anger, her full chest heaving violently.
"What kind of people are these!"
"Absolutely disorganized and undisciplined!"
...At this mont, Zhou Huai was controlling Caesar, moving through the streets and alleys of Xining City.
As an SSS-Rank Insect Emperor,
His perception of the Zerg was extrely keen.
The mont he stepped into Xining City, he clearly captured that familiar Qi.
That Qi originated from the direction of the West City Gate.
Zhou Huai’s lips curved into an arc.
A chilling glint flickered in his athyst-like compound eyes.
"So the Zerg Hell-level BOSS that escaped that night ran to Xining City so quickly."
"What a coincidence."
"Perfect, saves the trouble of looking for you."
He didn't make such a big commotion like Gandalf.
He simply started walking, seemingly unhurried, towards the West City Gate.
