Chapter 491 Sequence 3 - The Night Watch
Day 17
The blood-red sun rises.
The frequency of strange activities outside the city has risen to an alarming level.
Shao Bing stood on the city wall, binoculars in hand, his gaze sweeping across the desolate wasteland beyond the wall.
In the morning light, he could see faint black dots moving slowly in the distance. There weren't many of them, but they were too close to the city, so they definitely had to be cleared out.
"Level 5 again," he said softly, his tone carrying a numb calm.
This is the second Level 5 anomaly discovered today.
Previously, a level 5 monster would have been enough to put the convoy on high alert.
But now?
"I'll go!" Chen Pei's voice came from behind.
"Let Tashan, Susu, and Lin Zhennan go! If they find anything else, Jiang Ling, Lao Yan (the old smoker), and I will handle it! You stay behind!"
Chen Pei was responsible for clearing out the level 5 anomalies discovered in the past few days, but he couldn't always be the one doing it.
Other Sequence 4 sequences also require sufficient pressure to accelerate progress.
"Haha, I knew it! It's all thanks to you, Lao Fu, that you're thinking of me!"
Tashan was the happiest, as his promotion was basically achieved by enduring the most brutal beatings.
So how could he not be happy to hear Fu Xiaojian's arrangement?
Su Su and Lin Zhennan had no objections either. They followed Ta Shan as he leaped off the city wall and headed towards the Level 5 monster in the distance.
"Sigh! What if it's like this every day from now on?" Shao Bing said with some concern.
To establish a survival base, one must always be prepared to accept the challenge of a bizarre siege.
But are they really ready?
"Where is Xiao Luo?" Fu Xiaojian's brows were also furrowed.
He hadn't let Xiao Luo use his spiritual barrier for the past few days, in order to test the team's ability to withstand pressure.
Another reason is that Ronaldinho is on the verge of promotion, and he wants to create a relatively relaxed space for him.
"He's already taken the sequence enhancement drug! Looks pretty confident!" Shao Bing said.
Ronaldinho's current psionic barrier limit is probably five to six days.
Although he didn't know the extent of Luo's psionic barrier after his advancement, he was certain that it would improve significantly.
If we could block the survival base for half a month and then open it for another half month, we might be able to lure and kill a certain number of the monsters.
And these past two weeks have proven that the pressure they faced was not as great as they had imagined.
If his test results are true, even if Xu Si leaves, they can ensure that the city will not be lost and the survival base will not be destroyed.
Unless a strange attack occurs at a high level, then that's a different story.
However, according to the information obtained from Xu Si, the high-ranking monsters will not easily leave their territory; they are like nails driven into every corner of Earth.
If what Xu Si said is true, then he is at least 80% confident that he can preserve this survival base.
Boom boom boom...
The battle has already begun in the distance.
The most distinctive feature of the Battle of Tashan was its immense scale and the truly thrilling atmosphere.
Watching the Battle of Tashan was the most morale-boosting experience, even though he was mostly on the defensive.
The Level 5 anomaly was a rhinoceros-like mutant with thick skin and flesh, its body covered in dark gray armor, and three twisted horns on its head resembling three rusty steel forks.
Tashan was forced to retreat repeatedly by his thrust, each step leaving a footprint half a meter deep in the ground, but he quickly regained his footing.
Sequence 4 is still too much of a stretch to match Level 5 weirdness.
"Good timing!" Tashan even refused Lin Zhennan and Su Su's help.
He likes this type of eeriness the most.
A real man is one who goes head-to-head with his opponent.
The roar of battle still echoed in the distance, just as Tashan was being thoroughly beaten by that level-five monster.
Inside a stone house in the southeast corner of the city, Xiao Luo sat cross-legged on the cold ground, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
Every dose of the Sequence Enhancement Potion was so unforgettable.
Standing to the side, Chen Xi looked at this little guy who was more serious and hardworking than anyone else and felt a pang of pity.
At his age, he should be studying diligently in school, but now he has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
With his eyes closed, Xiao Luo's consciousness was completely immersed in the surging spiritual energy within his body.
The transition from sequence 2 to sequence 3 had taken him far too long.
If it were any other adult, they would probably have advanced to the next level by now.
His frail body limited the development of his psionic abilities.
Although Xu Si had been away for half a month, he hadn't taken a single day off from pushing himself to the limit.
But squeezing won't always be effective.
Fu Xiaojian saw all of this, and he naturally knew what the young man was chasing.
Perhaps he wanted to protect the entire convoy for that man, and do everything in his power to bear whatever he could.
The psionic energy surged within him for an unknown period of time.
The feeling was like a flame compressed to its extreme burning throughout the body.
It was a strange feeling, not from the burning pain, but from an uncontrollable sense of pent-up frustration, as if something was about to burst out of its shell.
Xiao Luo gritted his teeth, beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the cold stone floor, leaving a small, dark stain.
Chen Xi stood not far away, ready to intervene at any moment.
Although her healing abilities are not as specialized as Jiao Jiao's in life recovery, she can still stabilize injuries and prevent them from getting out of control.
But she didn't move.
She knew clearly what the boy was determined about; he had pleaded with her repeatedly before taking the medicine.
Do not take action unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, Xiao Luo felt his consciousness being pulled out of his body by some force, climbing upwards, passing through the roof of the stone house, through the gray-white clouds, and through the invisible barrier that separated the earth from the sky.
He seems to have the air of a wandering god now.
He seemed to "see" the entire city.
It is not with the eyes, but with pure spiritual perception.
Each person's psionic energy fluctuations transformed into clusters of flames of various colors within his consciousness—
The flames of the tower were as steady as a rock, the dark golden light thick and restrained, like a majestic mountain range.
Fu Xiaojian's was as fiery as a torch, like a revolutionary torch being lit, like a raging flame igniting people's hearts;
Su Su's flames were sharp as spears and violent as a volcano about to erupt. The light made Xiao Luo unable to help but take a second look.
Jiang Li's gentleness is like moonlight, Hinata Aoi's coldness is like a cold night, and Master Wei's icy demeanor is like frost and snow...
Each flame has its own unique frequency, temperature, and texture.
They intertwined, converging in his perception into an invisible, flowing sea of light.
So clear and moving.
"Is this... the Night's Watch's vision?"
