Chapter 39 – Words end here, do not come near
After much deliberation, Wang Gangjian came up with a compromise.
"I'll approach that area alone to see what's really happening."
"If the situation is critical, we'll retreat immediately."
The implication was that if the situation wasn't critical, there was no need to retreat.
After all, the hundreds of people at Black Edge Security Company were most familiar with East Lake City.
If they went to an unfamiliar place, they would have to start from scratch, facing numerous difficulties.
So, if they could avoid leaving, they would.
Seeing that they wanted to say more, Wang Gangjian interrupted them, "I'm a Level 2 Extraordinary Being, my body is stronger than yours, no need to say more."@@novelbin@@
Wang Yong and the others fell silent.
Wang Gangjian took a walkie-talkie, drove a car, and returned to the city.
Wang Yong and the others watched his figure from afar, filled with worry.
More than two hours later, Wang Gangjian arrived outside the fog.
What struck him as strange was that inside the fog, it was eerily quiet, as if all sounds had vanished.
Logically, if something was attracting these zombies and transcendent creatures to fight, they should be in a fierce battle.
Why was there no movement?
The fog was churning.
Like a man-eating demon.
Wang Gangjian knew the danger well and didn't recklessly charge in.
Instead, he looked around and stood in front of an abandoned fire hydrant.
He squatted down, wrapped his arms around the hydrant, and twisted it forcefully.
With a crunch, the fire hydrant was wrenched off by him.
After condensing his spiritual energy core and becoming a transcendent, Wang Gangjian didn't gain any particularly strange abilities.
He just felt that his arms had become extraordinarily large, with boundless strength, like Kylin arms.
No one came to name this ability.
Wang Gangjian called it [Steel Arms].
After advancing to Level 2 Extraordinary Being, his arms became even more powerful.
Twisting off a fire hydrant with brute force wasn't too difficult.
Wang Gangjian let out a low roar, his arms bursting with strength, and hurled the fire hydrant out.
The hydrant smashed through the fog, flying over twenty meters before stopping.
The fog was violently parted.
Only then did Wang Gangjian see the scene inside.
Within the fog-covered area, the sky was dark and ghostly.
It didn't seem like the human world, but rather like hell!
He was shocked to find that zombies and transcendent creatures were standing still, motionless.
In the air, numerous flying swords formed from black energy were shuttling back and forth.
Each time, they pierced the hearts of zombies and transcendent creatures with a single strike.
And these zombies and transcendent creatures, upon dying, would immediately be drained of their blood and energy, turning into dried corpses.
Wang Gangjian's eyes widened.
Even during the first year of the zombie crisis, when the entire East Lake City turned into a living hell, he had survived.
But witnessing such a scene, he was still utterly shocked.
What on earth was happening?
What were those black swords that appeared out of nowhere?
At this moment, the walkie-talkie in his hand suddenly crackled to life.
"Boss, look at the sky! Look above you!"
Wang Gangjian quickly looked up.
To his astonishment, he saw a figure standing on a flying sword in mid-air, looking down at him.
That sharp gaze, that overwhelming aura, felt like an invisible hand gripping his throat!
Wang Gangjian suddenly remembered something.
That day, Tang Jinchuan was attacked by a swarm of spiders at the East Lake City Bus Company, including an extremely powerful mutated spider queen.
On that day, a young man riding a flying sword appeared, killed the mutated spider queen, and indirectly saved them.
The person before him was also riding a flying sword, and also a young man.
It must be the same person.
Chu Xuan looked down at Wang Gangjian and said calmly, "Didn't you leave? Why have you returned?"
He was already aware of Black Edge Security Company's plan to evacuate East Lake City.
They probably decided to leave after discovering the approaching zombie tide.
He had no ties with these people, so he didn't intervene.
For the past few days, Chu Xuan had been observing the situation within the formation from a nearby high-rise.
Now that someone appeared outside the Yin Soul Snatching Formation he had set up, he naturally had to show himself.
To prevent this person from causing trouble.
"I... we were worried that powerful transcendent creatures might appear inside, so I came to check the situation."
Wang Gangjian's forehead was sweating.
This person could easily kill a mutated spider queen.
Crushing him would probably be as easy as crushing an ant.
He spoke cautiously, fearing to offend this mysterious strongman.
Chu Xuan looked him up and down and said calmly, "Any living creature that enters will not come out alive."
"That's all I have to say."
"Within a kilometer of this place, do not come any closer."
With that, he stomped on the Heavenly Force Flying Sword, disappearing into the sky like a beam of sword light, vanishing without a trace.
The pressure that felt like Mount Tai pressing on Wang Gangjian's shoulders finally disappeared completely at that moment.
Thud.
Wang Gangjian collapsed to the ground, his body limp.
He looked down and found his front and back soaked with sweat.
"He's too strong. He didn't even make a move, just a few glances, a few words, and I'm drenched in sweat."
Wang Gangjian smiled bitterly.
The walkie-talkie crackled again.
"Bro, how did it go? Did that person give you a hard time?" Wang Yong asked quickly.
Wang Gangjian took a deep breath before replying, "No, he just warned me not to go near the foggy area."
"He also said that any living creature that enters the foggy area won't come out alive."
"I just checked, many of the zombies in the foggy area are already dead, and the rest should die within a few days."
"We can rest easy now."
Tang Jinchuan and Song Dayi were both very surprised.
But considering the other party's strength, it seemed unnecessary for him to lie to them.
Their worries were immediately put to rest.
Wang Gangjian continued, "Order the convoy to return, we don't need to leave East Lake City."
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"This wave of zombies numbers in the tens of thousands, all buried in the fog. East Lake City will actually be the safest place for the next few years."
Wang Yong and the others' eyes lit up.
What he said was true.
The zombies and transcendent creatures in and around East Lake City were gone.
This was a huge blessing!
Calling this place a paradise wouldn't be an exaggeration!
"Wang Yong, reassure the brothers, bring them back in batches, don't rush." Wang Gangjian instructed.
"Don't worry, bro."
"And my box of game consoles, don't lose it!" Wang Gangjian said anxiously.
Wang Yong, "…You're even more anxious than I am."
Two days later.
Within the Yin Soul Snatching Formation.
Chu Xuan rode the Heavenly Force Flying Sword, flying into it.
Holding the formation disk, the black swords formed by the killing intent here wouldn't attack him.
Chu Xuan looked around.
There was no longer any figure standing.
Only large swathes of fallen zombies and transcendent creatures.
Like harvested crops.
Chu Xuan went straight to the core of the formation.
There was a deep pit here.
The Yin Fiend energy formed from the death of zombies and transcendent creatures was all converging towards the pit.
At the center of the pit, cold glimmers were flickering.
Chu Xuan's expression brightened.
Perhaps the Yin Fiend energy was dense enough.
The formation of Yin Fiend Steel was faster than he had imagined.
At this rate, in less than two months, he would have a batch of high-quality Yin Fiend Steel!
What do you think?
