Chapter 1276: Chapter 1272: Exhausted Martial Artists…
As an important Martial Artist of the Annihilation Squad, Number 38 and others can open a Different Space during the South City lockdown, and then reach any corner of South City, including the Underground City.
However, if they want to escape beyond South City, they must use the advanced equipment in the South City Underground City to directly reach the residence of the Black Hole Clan!
This is also why the Different Space opened by Number 38 cannot directly lead out of the city, but only to the Underground City…
“Officer, next, I will fully charge the energy of this device. This way, a passage to a safe location will open, which will take some time. So, if you don’t doubt us, please quickly relocate the people to the Underground City!”
Number 38 pointed at the instrument in front of him he was charging, and Zhang Kan naturally believed his words.
However, there were still some things Zhang Kan was unclear about, so he curiously asked, “I’ve indeed never heard of the Underground City of South City… And, brother, from what you said earlier, it seems the problem with the entire South City is at the top levels. Could it be that the higher-ups of South City have rotted away?”
Facing Zhang Kan’s inquiry, Number 38 was at a loss for words.
After all, the complexity of this matter was too great for Number 38 to clearly explain at the moment. More importantly, if the other party knew that he was once part of the “evil” side, Zhang Kan might not trust him anymore.
So, Number 38 could only say helplessly, “Officer, trust means no doubt. If I waste time explaining further, it might delay us, and what if the situation in South City becomes unstable then?
Of course, my not telling you the truth now doesn’t mean I will hide it from you forever. I promise, after this battle in South City is over, I will tell you everything in detail, okay?”
With Number 38’s promise, Zhang Kan said no more.
As Number 38 said, the urgent task now is to quickly relocate the people, not seek the truth by getting to the bottom of things!
So, Zhang Kan stopped asking questions and left the Underground City of South City from where he came, heading back to where the people of South City were gathered.
At this time, more than 200,000 people from South City were gathering there, and other citizens were gradually making their way there as well.
It’s initially estimated that it would take about another ten minutes for all 300,000 residents of South City to gather here!
If the relocation does not start soon, there might be unforeseen changes. Moreover, Zhang Kan saw that the Underground City of South City was quite spacious, so so many people going there should be accommodated.
So, Zhang Kan shouted through a megaphone to all the gathered citizens, “Everyone, I’ve just passed through this vortex and saw that its exit is the Underground City of South City! Hard to believe, right? We’ve lived in South City for so long, and never knew there was such a place underground.
Though we didn’t know about that place, I’ve seen it. The Underground City of South City is very safe and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, so everyone can rest assured. Please follow the police escort and safely enter this vortex to go to the Underground City of South City.
Right now, those responsible for our transfer are triggering a mechanism in the Underground City of South City. Once it’s triggered, another passage will open, and we can then leave South City for a safe location!”
Zhang Kan, the police captain’s words, touched the citizens of South City…
The city of South City unexpectedly had an Underground City, unknown to everyone…
Everyone felt a chill down their spine! Newest update provided by novel※fire.net
“South City unexpectedly has a place like an Underground City. Who built it? Aliens?”
“No, I guess it’s not just the Underground City of South City. I think the whole of South City might have been built by aliens. As for why aliens would build South City, I guess it might be for some kind of human experiment. We think the income level in South City is high, but actually, little do we know, we’re just guinea pigs!”
“No wonder! I thought South City had surveillance cameras everywhere, more than any other city… Thinking of it this way, considering the current situation in South City, it all makes sense. It’s probably those aliens wanting to haul in their net but were stopped, leading to what’s happening today in South City!”
The citizens of South City began to let their imaginations run wild, randomly guessing.
However, these guesses weren’t far from the actual situation…
But Zhang Kan and his fellow officers didn’t have time to ponder what exactly was happening in South City. Their primary goal was to safely escort the citizens to the Underground City of South City.
Thus, under the police escort, citizens of South City began gradually passing through the visible vortex, heading to the Underground City of South City.
The people remained calm, understanding the urgency of the situation, knowing they couldn’t afford mistakes. Hence, during evacuation, they didn’t cause a ruckus and obediently followed the police’s arrangements.
This included the injured and the medical teams of the Night King Hall, Heavenly Gate, and the Ye family…
The police of South City, upon seeing the injured, knew they weren’t citizens of South City and could tell at a glance that they were skilled Martial Artists. The officers, knowing these Martial Artists were wounded for the sake of South City, naturally didn’t question their identity, carefully shielding them to safely reach the Underground City of South City.
While the police were sheltering the citizens toward the Underground City of South City at a slow pace, at the border between the new and old districts of South City, the battle between Elder Xi Feng and the coalition forces of the Night King Hall, Heavenly Gate, and Annihilation Squad was intensifying.
With the strength of Elder Xi Feng, defeating the Martial Artists stopping him should be easy, but he was trapped within the Quagmire Formation, constrained in movement, giving him a sense of powerlessness, so the fight became a stalemate.
“Damn it! Using such a trick against me!”
Elder Xi Feng cursed, the development far exceeding his expectations.
The Martial Artists he considered ants haven’t been dealt with swiftly, instead, he was drawn into a tough battle, which for one of the four Elders of the Black Hole Clan is absolutely intolerable!
Xi Feng’s pride was severely wounded, so when throwing punches and kicks, he didn’t hold back and unleashed all his power.
However, even at full strength, Xi Feng found it wasn’t easy to defeat the opponents before him…
“Brothers, hold on! Just ! Restrict that guy’s movement and power; that way, we can delay longer!”
Daichong shouted excitedly, for it was his tactics that greatly increased the Quagmire Formation’s power, even causing someone as skilled as Elder Xi Feng some difficulties. This indicated his tactics were successful.
The Quagmire Formation belonged to Heavenly Gate, yet it’s seldom used due to Heavenly Gate’s disciples being previously uncooperative, rarely gathering to deploy any formation, and another reason was the Quagmire Formation’s energy-demanding nature with rather limited efficacy.
However now, with the Quagmire Formation’s power increased by mixing in the Power of the Clouds, this surge in strength surprised both Heavenly Gate disciples and Martial Artists of the Night King Hall, so during deployment, they no longer held back but went all out!
Thanks to these Martial Artists deploying the formation, Elder Xi Feng trapped within was significantly constrained, unable to break free momentarily!
Opposing Elder Xi Feng were Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad, deploying a strategy in groups of seven against him!
To Xi Feng’s dismay, these seven-person combat teams attacked one strike before switching out immediately!
Regardless of Xi Feng being attacker or defender, each subsequent strike brought new opponents, frustrating Xi Feng endlessly…
“Bastards! Aren’t you guys fed up yet?”
Xi Feng raged, his unleashed powerful force surrounding him with chilling air.
Martial Artists must proceed cautiously with any attack, retreating if the situation deems it, for being harmed by Xi Feng’s chilling aura could be fatal!
Luckily, the Martial Artists of the Annihilation Squad were experienced, adhering firmly to the devised strategy…
Seven per group, one strike then retreat, ensuring both protection from severe injury and allowing time for recovery.
So, both sides remained deadlocked, with their stamina likely determining the final outcome…
“Just a little longer, just a bit more, and Ye Tian will recover somewhat!”
Daichong watched the intense clash between the Annihilation Squad and Elder Xi Feng with frantic anxiety.
He knew well that given their current strength, defeating Elder Xi Feng was wishful thinking, so whatever strategy or tactics, the primary goal was to buy time for Ye Tian to recover as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, his strategy was apt, even proving challenging for Elder Xi Feng…
