Chapter 296: Futile Struggle
Chapter 296: Futile Struggle
As expected, the journey is about to end here...
Despite all the efforts so far, once we are faced with a losing situation, there is no way to turn the situation around.
"Forget about that bullshit prophecy! This is your home. Are you going to watch it destroyed?!"
"(What are you talking about? My home...is gone a long time ago...)"
Yes, the culprit behind all that was Yiyin himself, but he didn't want to dwell on the past now.
If I do nothing, it would be too frustrating.
"Even if we can save just one person, we must act!"
"Iin is right!"
Bubulu supported Yiyin, "It's too early to give up now!"
“(…I’m truly defeated by you guys.)”
Xuanwu shook his head in frustration. "(Forget it... For your sake, I'll just give it a try for now.)"
Everyone made up their minds for the time being that they must stop the muscular men's actions as soon as possible.
It is also very simple to do. Suzaku uses the ability of Quail Fire to slow down the pace of the muscle people, Baihu uses the ability of the King of Beasts to create origami dinosaurs to interfere, and Xuanwu controls them one by one with the power of words.
Qinglong released the chariot and used its "colorful" ability to protect the tail-end team, making them wander around the square and try to search for survivors.
However, to their great disappointment, the "Blood Cross" spread much faster than they expected. They could neither kill the muscle men nor completely ignore them, and they could not neglect their own protection, so their search and rescue efforts were restricted.
What's worse is that because there are so many infected trainees, even if they consciously go to search, they can't see any signs of survivors.
Gradually, everyone began to feel overwhelmed.
Doubt and fear continued to grow in everyone's hearts.
"Damn it, Kaplin Furball has no signal at all..."
Jiaozi pinched the Kaplin ball of fur irritably, trying to get in touch with Chairman Lion Yao of the Cross Base, but he couldn't do it.
"I think it would be better if I could harness the power of the Water Fang to launch a sacrificial rain."
Selina also realized that if they continued like this, their physical strength would be exhausted sooner or later. By then, let alone saving others, they themselves might not be able to save themselves.
"No."
Qinglong frowned and said, "Although I don't know what the sacrificial rain you're talking about is, we can't do that. Those infected with the Blood Cross have been completely infected by the virus. When the virus is taken away, their lives will also be taken away."
"This……"
Selina choked up. The Water Fang was originally a tooth of Heinrich's. The power of the Original Monster was far beyond human control. If it was deemed beyond saving, a massive purge would surely be launched to reshape the ecology of Blue Planet.
This is what the Original Monster is like. Sacrificing a small part for the majority is a very rational behavior, which is very consistent with the behavior of the Original Monster.
But Selina was still human after all, and she couldn't yet treat human life as worthless. If she did so, perhaps she could indeed stop the spread of the "Blood Cross", but wouldn't she become an eternal sinner?
Everyone's spirits gradually grew low. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't resolve the problem before them. The wailing gradually stopped, and with it, the rustling sound of chewing.
Pairs of scarlet eyes stared at everyone, as if looking at pieces of smooth brains.
Is this the final destination...?
"Flash!"
Just then, an excited voice was heard.
Ah, it's Chairman Tianyi! As expected, the three chairmen of the Monster Master Management Association are always extremely reassuring.
Chairman Tianyi did not summon any monsters, but he instantly suppressed a large group of muscular men with his own aura. It really shows that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
But this is far from enough. Chairman Tianyi alone cannot completely suppress these muscular men.
"Chairman Tianyi, what happened? We can't contact the outside world!" Jiaozi asked. Maybe Chairman Tianyi had a way to get in touch with the outside world.
"Luoxia Village has fallen, and the road between the Four Gods Base and the outside world has been blocked. Although I have notified the Monster Master Management Association to send reinforcements, it will take some time for them to arrive!"
Chairman Tianyi didn't sound like a lie. "I don't know exactly why this happened, but one thing is certain: this was a premeditated attack! As one of the three chairmen of the Monster Master Management Association, I must live and die with the Four Gods Base! Retreat quickly! These frenzied interns are no match for you."
"How can that be done!"
Suzaku retorted, "They're all infected with the Blood Cross. If Chairman Tianyi is also infected, then we really have no hope!"
Everyone knows that although Chairman Tianyi is very powerful, he absolutely cannot kill the trainees.
On the contrary, the muscle man is still infecting normal people continuously. Chairman Tianyi is a flesh and blood body after all, so it is difficult for him not to be infected.
"You are the beings called hope. Even if the Four Gods Base is destroyed, it doesn't matter. As long as you are still here, there is still hope for the Four Gods Base to be revived..."
Chairman Tianyi said this with a look of relief, then resolutely rushed into the sea of muscular men.
"Qinglong! It's up to you guys now!"
"receive."
Qinglong was very sad, but she also knew that if she stayed, she would only hinder Chairman Tianyi.
If it is true as Chairman Tianyi said, then they must persevere until the moment rescue arrives.
"let's go."
Qinglong gestured, "I know a place. It's absolutely safe there."
In this way, under the self-sacrifice of Chairman Tianyi, several people successfully escaped from the square.
Chairman Tianyi was like a tragic hero, who single-handedly bought a moment of respite for everyone.
.
The four goddesses led the tail-end team to a dormitory that was almost collapsed. The bed boards in the dormitory had long since rotted away, and only a secret door stood there quietly.
Baihu pushed open the secret door impatiently, revealing an extremely dark, unfathomable secret passage leading underground.
"Follow me quickly!"
Qinglong, under tremendous pressure, led everyone into the secret passage one by one. Then, she turned a button on the wall, and the secret door closed with a "click".
At the same time, a piece of black iron stone worth thousands of gold suddenly rose up from the inside, completely isolating the sound from the outside.
The door-sealing stone isolates both external and internal sounds, creating an extremely perfect secret room environment.
Now, everyone is safe.
