Super Zoo

The livestream hosted by Taoyuan Entertainment Company had already started within an hour.

After Suming was officially recognized as the Divine Envoy, High Priest Alayi respectfully returned his and Ludmila's mobile phones. Once Ludmila got her phone back, her first reaction was to notify the Iraqi Government and Moran International to send a rescue team for them.

But Suming thought about it and decided not to do it yet.

The mountains were now a chaotic mess, and even if the government was willing to send a rescue team, there was no guarantee they would be able to get out.

The key point was that his current situation, although seemingly dangerous, was actually the exact opposite upon closer consideration.

The most direct threat, the Lure People, had become his most loyal supporters. Not only were they unlikely to harm him, but they would also protect him with their lives;

In the military water bottle he carried with him, there was still more than half a bottle of specially made royal jelly left, continuously replenishing his spiritual power. In the wild, with all types of animals everywhere, as long as his spiritual power wasn't exhausted, in a sense, he was the king of the wild—the ones who should be worried were others!

And with the tardigrades' formidable survival ability storage balls, as long as he wasn't hit directly by an artillery shell, he would at most be injured, and it would be difficult for him to be killed. Since their location was a defense area for IS, with IS forces all around, it was highly unlikely they would use heavy artillery, to avoid friendly fire.

In such a situation, there seemed to be no necessity to call for a rescue. Instead, there was potential for action.

Hence, Suming only sent a safe message to the zoo. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

The person responsible for answering the phone was Shen Yan, who didn't have time for a long conversation. After briefly informing him, Suming was struck with another brilliant idea—since he had a mobile phone, why not just start a livestream!

Domestically, the variety of livestreams was diverse and the industry was growing extremely rapidly. From singing and dancing, playing games, to broadcasting just about anything imaginable—eating, sleeping, street racing, shopping, and even bizarre acts like catching people having sex in cars or eating light bulbs were broadcasted, becoming very popular. The reason behind it was the thrill and novelty it offered to the audience.

And speaking of thrills, what could be more exciting than a war zone livestream? No matter how daring domestic streamers were, none dared to try broadcasting from a war zone.

Shen Yan was shocked by Suming's plan, thinking to himself that his old classmate and boss really had some nerve—to be trapped in a firefight and not looking to escape, but planning to do a livestream?

"There's no time to explain, you have half an hour to promote it, then the broadcast starts!" Suming said hurriedly, then swiftly hung up the phone.

As a result, both Taoyuan Entertainment's Weibo and online broadcasting platforms released the most striking scrolling announcements at the same time: A broadcast performed with their lives on the line, the Zoo Director appears in Iraq, live from the battlefield!

While Shen Yan was busy promoting vigorously on one end, Suming was already on a hillside under the protection of two platoons of Lure soldiers, looking down at the battlefield from a high vantage point.

"It's too dangerous!" Ludmila frowned continuously. Mercenaries might be brave, but that didn't mean they were looking to die. The situation before them meant certain death for a small group of Lure People joining in.

From their position to the cave where hostages were kept wasn't far, but it was all dense forest on the way. Through the binoculars, they could see figures darting through the woods and several large net-like shelters that were set up to guard against air strikes.

To approach the cave where hostages were held meant fighting their way through. Even without considering reinforcements from other IS areas, the enemy forces along the path were not something two platoons of Lure People could handle. Not only were they vastly outnumbered, but the opposition also had well-established cover, rushing in would turn them into live targets for a sure death.

By normal reasoning, Ludmila was certainly right; even the world's most elite forces wouldn't choose to storm through to rescue hostages.@@novelbin@@

Suming didn't spend too much time explaining to Ludmila, but instead, he turned around and looked at Amir with an inquiring gaze.

These Lure People kept calling themselves the envoys of God, and Suming really wanted to see, when it came down to life and death, just how much weight he, as a Divine Envoy, held in their eyes. Whether they would follow his orders unconditionally, as they claimed, even if it meant sending them to their deaths.

Amir stood up without hesitation, puffing out his chest and said something, which Ludmila translated with a hint of resignation, "He says that the Lure People are the Divine Envoy's swords. To break in the fight against devils is their greatest glory, and after death, they will return to the kingdom of God… These religious fanatics..."

"They could also moonlight as poets." Suming was almost brought to laughter by their earnest demeanor, but such mirth was hardly appropriate for the occasion. Holding back his laughter, he patted Amir on the shoulder, "Don't worry, lad. Your Divine Envoy won't let you die in vain. Follow me!"

Having said that, he was the first to crouch and rush down the hill.

Amir roared and, without a second thought, led two platoons of Lure People to quickly follow suit, their eyes flashing with urgency. How could they let the Divine Envoy charge to the front? If the Divine Envoy were injured, they would all become sinners in the eyes of the Lure People.

"Fuck! A bunch of madmen!" Ludmila cursed bitterly, snapping a bullet into the chamber and rolling off the hillside to hurriedly catch up.

Suming charged at the front, his spiritual power sweeping out over the landscape like a tidal wave.

He was like a human radar, with himself at the center, all the animals within a few hundred meters' radius in a conical area in front of him stirred to action.

One after another, birds perched on treetops took to the skies with a flurry of wings, swooping down to attack the exposed eyes of those humans below;

One by one, venomous snakes lurking amidst the fallen leaves silently slipped through the gaps in the cover, stealthily approaching the soldiers on alert;

Swarms of lethal mosquitoes, venomous spiders, and scorpions, orchestrated by an invisible force, banded together to surge toward the humans;

…

"Ah!"

"Oooh ah!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Upon entering the woods, Amir and Ludmila were astonished to see that there wasn't the expected exchange of gunfire. Instead, piercing screams suddenly filled the air all around them. One after another, IS soldiers fell from trees, screaming in terror, leaping out of their cover in panic, and writhing on the ground in agony.

Some of them fired their weapons wildly, bullets tearing through the bodies of their comrades nearby and sending large sprays of blood flying.

Throughout their advance, the entire forest seemed to have suddenly become IS's hell.

"What's going on?" Ludmila exclaimed in shock.

Amir and a group of Lure People looked at each other, their gazes eventually settling unanimously on Suming, turning from astonishment to fanatic adoration. They ignored that they were still on a battlefield and dozens of them fell prostrate on the ground, loudly calling out to Suming.

"The Divine Envoy brings the might of God and has punished those who disrespect God, delivering the wicked devils to suffer in the agonizing hell..." Ludmila, pressing a hand to her forehead, said, "They believe this is your doing!"

Suming laughed heartily, "Of course, it's the old man's doing. Brothers, follow your Divine Envoy, charge and take down these devils!"
