Chapter 672: Four Kills to Close It Out
At Deng Shentong’s level of combat, ordinary Superhumans joining in would just be throwing their lives away.
Right now, Zhang Yi had already completed his task—and not just completed it, but far exceeded Zhu Zheng’s expectations.
Zhu Zheng wanted to keep this promising talent around.
If possible, he hoped to bring Zhang Yi into Blizzard City. In the future, he might even beco a Captain-level force.
Zhang Yi was a bit surprised by Zhu Zheng’s order.
He had assud Zhu Zheng would have him continue assisting on the battlefield.
And if that were the case, Zhang Yi wouldn’t have refused.
After all, with his strength, cleaning up the battlefield was a piece of cake—and he could easily collect kills and earn Points rewards.
Even if he ran into an enemy he couldn’t handle, escaping wouldn’t be a problem.
But since Zhu Zheng had issued such a direct recall, that ant he clearly had confidence in Deng Shentong and the others.
Zhang Yi wasn’t soone who liked showing off, so he calmly surveyed the western battlefield one last ti, then began withdrawing at a steady pace.
With a glorious record of killing Moon of Corrosion elites on the western front, Zhang Yi departed Jiangning Plaza.
Not long after stepping out, dics rushed over to et him.
Zhang Yi simply gave them a faint smile.
“I’m fine.”
The dics exchanged surprised glances—the respect in their eyes toward Zhang Yi was clear.
Because in this mission, over half of the Superhumans from the Outer City had been killed or injured. Almost none walked out unscathed.
But Zhang Yi was the last man standing from the battlefield.
Even though they didn’t know exactly what had happened out there, that alone was enough to earn him awe.
Zhang Yi boarded the ard helicopter.
It had already been converted into a makeshift intensive care unit. Of the surviving Outer City Superhumans, only Liang Yue and Peng Li were relatively unhard.
Yuan Hao lay pale and weak on a stretcher bed, looking like he was hanging on by a thread.
His girlfriend, Xia Lingling, stood at his side with lifeless eyes, silent as a corpse.
Only now did Zhang Yi notice the horrific wounds across Xia Lingling’s body, the torn flesh looking inhuman.
And only now did he understand why she hadn’t been included in the Outer City count earlier—she wasn’t in fighting condition at all.
Mo Zhongning, Li Weihai, and the others weren’t doing any better.
The battle had left deep scars, not just on their bodies, but on their morale.
In essence, the Outer City Superhumans and the Moon of Corrosion were very similar—rogue forces not affiliated with any formal organization.
But when it ca to actual combat, the difference in power was like night and day!
If the Celestial Squad hadn’t arrived in ti, they’d all be dead.
So when Zhang Yi returned unscathed, many of them gave him strange and envious looks.
Zhang Yi ignored them and walked straight over to Liang Yue, sitting down beside her.
Chen Xiaoxiao, after Peng Li’s treatnt and so dication from the dical team, had mostly recovered.
While she wouldn’t be able to fight again any ti soon, her life was no longer in danger.
She looked at Zhang Yi, her eyes already carrying a trace of awe.
After all, she had personally witnessed Zhang Yi instantly kill two Moon of Corrosion mbers.
“Zhang Yi, did you finish your mission?”
Chen Xiaoxiao asked cautiously.
Zhang Yi thought about it. Zhu Zheng had ordered him to support the northern front.
But by the ti he arrived, Liao Honglei had already been killed.
Still, he did kill Kamiya Gedou and Akutsu Shinichiro. So all things considered, he had fulfilled his orders.
He nodded.
“Sothing like that.”
The mont he said that, everyone in the helicopter was stunned.
Even the dical staff couldn’t help but glance over in disbelief.
Mo Zhongning stared at him in shock.
“You… don’t tell you actually took down Moon of Corrosion mbers?”
He lowered his head, murmuring,
“Those guys… they’re like monsters…”
Li Weihai shook his head.
“That’s impossible. Only the Celestial Squad can go toe-to-toe with them.”
“As for us Outer City Superhumans… we’re just cannon fodder.”
Zhang Yi hadn’t planned to say anything to them.
But hearing such defeatist talk, he couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle.
“Moon of Corrosion, huh? They’re strong? I didn’t get that impression.”
“Maybe… you’re just weak.”
That line instantly infuriated the already-traumatized group.
Mo Zhongning fud,
“Zhang Yi, did you really face them? Do you even know how strong they are?”
Li Weihai also chid in,
“From what I heard, no Moon of Corrosion mbers showed up on your front. Maybe that gave you so false sense of confidence.”
“As for this so-called ‘supporting the northern front’... maybe you just hung back and fired a few lucky shots from cover!”
Zhang Yi sighed, leaning back in his seat inside the helicopter.
He spoke in a slow, casual tone.
“Maybe you’re right. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.”
“I just happened to run into a few weak Moon of Corrosion mbers… and took them out.”
“That’s all.”
That sentence completely changed the mood inside the helicopter.
Even the frail Yuan Hao sat up from his stretcher, staring at Zhang Yi with disbelief.
“You… what did you just say? You really killed Moon of Corrosion mbers? And three of them?”
Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li were equally stunned, eyes locked on Zhang Yi.
He... killed two more?
That ant Zhang Yi alone had wiped out a third of the Moon of Corrosion forces on the field!
That kind of achievent could only be described as terrifying.
“You’ve got to be kidding…”
Mo Zhongning’s smile stiffened.
Even though he knew Zhang Yi had no reason to lie about sothing like this, the truth was just too much to swallow.
Killing one Moon of Corrosion mber was already hard to believe.
They were all Outer City Superhumans, leaders of their respective factions, supposedly on similar footing.
So why was he that much stronger?
Zhang Yi didn’t bother to explain.
He leaned back in his chair, eyes gazing out the window toward the center of Jiangning Plaza.
Now, all he had to do was wait.
Wait for the outco of the fight between Deng Shentong and the leader of the Moon of Corrosion.
At the Operations Command Center, all eyes were also locked on that location.
Deng Shentong was now their last hope!
Even though the situation on the field didn’t look great, Zhu Zheng remained calr than anyone.
Because he had full faith in Deng Shentong’s strength.
Behind Deng Shentong stood not only the ard might of Blizzard City, but the technological foundation of the Deng Group, built over decades!
And right in the center of Jiangning Plaza, king t king—two Captain-level Superhumans finally collided.
At that mont, all of Moon of Corrosion, the Command Center, and the Outer City Superhumans felt it:
A terrifying force that seed to freeze the very air itself erupted from the center of the plaza!
