Chapter 74: Chapter 74

A few more years passed, and the supernatural forces of this world finally erupted into action, with the remote villages being the first to suffer.

Countless people flowed toward the cities; in the large cities, the number of magicians was relatively high, and they could still hold out for a while.

Lishui City was instantly overcrowded.

Those from the villages closest to the city arrived in Lishui City earliest and were assigned to vacant houses, such as the place where the people from Jingtang Village lived initially.

In the end, as more and more people arrived, many ended up living directly on the streets.

In recent days, Li Shuning had already returned home.

Gao Fei invited Li Shuning’s family to stay in the Gao family’s villa community.

Li Shuning thought for a moment and agreed.

The environment here was obviously much poorer compared to the Gao family’s area.

Moreover, although Lishui City was large and had many magicians, there were still places with relatively weak defenses.

The east side of Lishui City was like a city within a city, even if the outside was overrun by supernatural forces, the east side could still hold out for a while.

The eastern part was where wealthy and powerful people lived.

Li Shuning couldn’t stay by her parents’ side all the time, and if she stayed here, she wouldn’t be able to ensure her parents’ safety.

After Gao Fei proposed it, Li Shuning agreed, and Gao Fei directly had people make the arrangements.

Li Fu received notice that they were to relocate the entire family to Yongyi Garden.

Li Fu knew that the place was where the chairman lived, and the company said it wanted to ensure the safety of senior management. Whatever the company said, he would comply. Truth be told, he didn’t even understand when he became an executive.

On the day of the relocation, as the car passed by Sky Moon Square, many people sat numbly in the square.

Li Shuning saw a familiar face.

The Wu Lei family was leaning against the stone bench, looking very bedraggled.

Li Shuning saw them but did not say anything; the car quickly passed by, so naturally, Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan did not notice Wu Lei.

Who knows if Wu Lei regretted not moving out with the village at the beginning?

Arriving at Yongyi Garden, Li Shuning discovered that their family was living in a small villa next to Gao Fei.

Li Fu felt a bit overwhelmed but didn’t know how to approach the chairman to talk about living here. It was the chairman’s graciousness and he hadn’t even met the chairman; refusing would seem ungrateful.

Nevertheless, Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan went to thank the person who had initially recruited them to the company.

The supernatural forces continued to grow, slowly encircling the cities.

For some reason, communications between cities became sporadic after the supernatural forces approached the city.

We only occasionally received information from some cities, and so far, many countries abroad had been destroyed, and domestically only thirty-two cities were still holding out.

Who knows how much longer these cities within the country can hold?

Wang Qingyun led Zhou Jinyun and others to Lishui City.

In the plot, Wang Qingyun sacrificed himself resisting the supernatural forces in Lishui City.

The arrival of Wang Qingyun and his group was still warmly welcomed.

Especially by the Warlock Association, which directly arranged for Wang Qingyun and his team to stay in another residential area next to Yongyi Garden.

In this day and age, the more magicians there are, the more advantageous it is for the city. Chapters fırst released on novelꜰire.net

Wang Qingyun and his team only needed to patrol once every two days.

On this day, Zhou Jinyun was leading, and she took six younger brothers and sisters out.

As soon as they left the community, they saw Li Shuning walking towards them.

Two bodyguards from the Gao family were beside Li Shuning.

Li Shuning was still just a child in her teens, with bodyguards trailing her, she looked very peculiar.

Zhou Jinyun bit her lip, why was it Li Shuning?

Inexplicably, seeing Li Shuning doing well, she couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful.

Li Shuning naturally saw Zhou Jinyun, but she didn’t pay her any mind.

After that encounter, Zhou Jinyun never saw Li Shuning again.

Year after year, as time passed, the pressure on Lishui City steadily increased.

Firstly, daily supplies became increasingly scarce. Fortunately, Gao’s Enterprise had several factories, producing some daily necessities, but these were still extremely tight because raw materials were limited. These items were distributed only to a few special communities, with the rest having no access.

Food had been insufficient for a long time, and people wanting to eat needed to join the magicians in fighting Spirit Monsters. Once Spirit Monsters were killed, their meat could be consumed.

Moreover, the meat carried spiritual energy, which benefited human health.

At least, there was enough drinking water; Spirit Monsters also need water.

Li Shuning didn’t concern herself with these; she was waiting.

On April 15th, Li Shuning spoke briefly with Gao Fei before heading out.

She was now eighteen, tall and beautiful, completely devoid of the chaos of wartime.

Lishui City was a very peculiar city, surrounded by water on all sides, with ancient city walls.

Thanks to these, despite the invasion of supernatural forces, Lishui City could hold its ground.

The Warlock Association arranged an array on the ancient city walls to prevent Ghosts from silently entering Lishui City.

When Li Shuning arrived at the ancient city walls, many magicians were already standing there.

Recently, the supernatural forces outside the city had been increasing, and the Warlock Association sent people every day to monitor, and patrols had been strengthened significantly.

Li Shuning saw the master from the plot, Wang Qingyun, leading the team, with all his disciples following.

Zhou Jinyun naturally saw Li Shuning, and seeing the smile on Li Shuning’s face, she wished she could tear apart her flawless face.

Zhou Jinyun glanced at the Spirit Monsters outside the wall, her eyes darting, harboring ill intent.

Li Shuning didn’t have time to pay attention to Zhou Jinyun; her gaze was focused outside the city, where there seemed to be an aura that gave her a sense of danger.

Half an hour later, there was a commotion outside the city; suddenly, a demon wolf howled, and a large swarm of Spirit Monsters surged towards the city walls.

Common people couldn’t see the Ghosts, but in Li Shuning’s view, they couldn’t hide and were following behind the Spirit Monsters, not rushing forward since the walls still had the array.

If the Spirit Monsters breached the walls, the Ghosts could then maximize their power.

The array only worked on Ghosts but had no effect on others.

More and more magicians gathered on the city walls, with an inexplicable anxiety in everyone’s hearts.

Finally, the Demon Beasts approached the walls.

The president of the Warlock Association suddenly shouted, "Attack."

All magicians on the walls unleashed their magic against the supernatural forces.

Zhou Jinyun walked behind Li Shuning, and as everyone attacked the supernatural forces, Zhou Jinyun’s hands reached out and touched Li Shuning’s back.

Li Shuning had long detected Zhou Jinyun’s actions but didn’t care; even if she was pushed out, so what?

She wanted Zhou Jinyun to suffer the consequences.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?" a man shouted loudly.
