Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 159 Breaking the situation

"Pat-pat, pat-pat—"

The raindrops pounded down, and Cheng Feng, covered in blood, lay on top of Cai Zhizhi, while Lingdu lay beside her, barely alive.

The torrential rain washed away the bloodstains scattered outside. Under the circular ice shield, Cai Zhizhi gritted her teeth and watched the time.

Under the full-force attack of the marine beasts, Zero Degree held out for two minutes, almost being torn apart by several coordinated level-three beasts. Cheng Feng risked using light to try and create an illusion, but it was ruined by a sudden downpour. The light-based visual deception could not simulate the falling rain for the time being, and the beasts that noticed the anomaly seized the opportunity, almost taking Cheng Feng down with them.

At the critical moment, Zero Degrees erected an ice shield, but the "crunching" sound of ice being gnawed at indicated the menacing presence of the monsters outside.

"If I can't hold on any longer, cough, kill me first..." Zero's head was covered in blood, and one of his eyes was stained red with blood.

He's a level four parasite. If he were to be picked up by the Alpha parasite while he's on the verge of death, he'd be practically handing the parasite food.

If I lose consciousness after being parasitized and am forcibly elevated to level five, I wonder if it will give Kite a headache... Zero thought to himself, trying to find humor in the situation.

He didn't know if being parasitized by Zero Degree would give Jiang Guoqiang a headache. He was indeed in a difficult situation because he sensed that the beast he had just faced was of a high level. Although it seemed to be suppressed by him on the surface, Jiang Guoqiang couldn't sense its location for the time being, which meant that it was a completely long-range attack.

Moreover, all the Alpha Beasts were heading towards land. Jiang Guoqiang didn't want to get entangled any longer. Compared to fighting to the death with unknown beasts, he was more concerned about the lives of the people on the shore. He believed that sea beasts with at least level five strength would not be easily parasitized by Alpha, and wasting time here was a complete waste.

Jiang Guoqiang wanted to leave, but the strange beast disagreed. So, waves rose on the sea, and a towering curtain of water blocked his way.

Jiang Guoqiang frowned and flew around the wind to get past it, but the water curtain appeared layer by layer like a cage, as if it were a provocation. The water spouts that he had forcibly created with wind power appeared in front of him one by one. It seemed that the strange beast wanted him to suffer.

Jiang Guoqiang glanced at his personal terminal; the constantly flashing messages had already reached their limit, reminding him that the situation was critical.

"Really want to fight?"

As if in response to him, high-level exotic beasts appeared on the sea.

Jiang Guoqiang saw that although the number of these marine creatures whose eyes were not red was not large, their levels were not low. The lowest level was level three, and there were five level four creatures.

Over the years of development of superpowers, the ocean, as a treasure of Earth, has nurtured many high-level alien beasts. However, they are currently at peace with the land and do not cause trouble on a daily basis.

Jiang Guoqiang casually replied with a message that he had been blocked, accepting the challenge.

On the shore, dark clouds flew to a suitable spot to observe the battle, their eyes fixed on the fight at sea, squawking loudly.

The crows next to it were being linked by Chu Deng. After Chu Deng intentionally infected them with Alpha Bugs, she used her aura to force the bugs away and kill them. All five crows she brought could then be linked to by her.

Chu Deng herself couldn't leave the seabed for the time being, but the rise and fall of the seawater cleared her mind. She immediately boarded the ship to check the situation and happened to arrive just in time for this battle, so she had to observe it.

The last time I saw it in the video, it was all about level 5 ability users overwhelming each other. It's easy to imagine that countries wouldn't easily let level 5 users clash. The strength of the sea monster is enough to suppress Chu Deng, so it might be close to level 6. The battle between the two sides is definitely worth watching for Chu Deng.

"quack!"

Three crows flew over and reported to the dark cloud, their claws gripping recording equipment, and asked the dark cloud what they were up to.

"Caw caw caw." Chu Deng arranged for several crows to find suitable locations in different directions to record the battle. Such a good thing had to be filmed so that Xiao Yue could see it too. Later, he could anonymously sell it to the Chinese government to make a little money.

As Wuyun watched her boss assign tasks to his underlings, she, already quite intelligent, tilted her head and uttered a series of questioning sounds.

"Boss, so many people have died on the shore, aren't you going to take a look?"

Wuyun still remembered that Chudeng had asked it to keep an eye on the drowning situation at the harbor beach in Haishi. The boss seemed to care a lot about the safety of those two-legged creatures and had also told it not to hurt people easily.

When it flew over just now, it saw corpses lying all over the shore, blood flowing like a river, which terrified the crow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The exploding seawater was deafening. Chu Deng turned his head and exclaimed, "Huh?"

【What? 】

The parasitic beasts, which were practically charging forward over corpses at zero degrees Celsius, were naturally not something ordinary people could stop. For the past six months, the authorities had not only imposed a fishing ban, but also started moving people inland under the guise of demolition. However, as the wrangling dragged on, and some people were nostalgic, some still lived not far from the shore.

The first to suffer didn't even see the beasts. Buildings collapsed under their attack, and ordinary people, powerless to even kill a chicken, were crushed under the rubble. They screamed once and died, some without even a chance to cry out before being devoured by the parasitic beasts.

"A monster!!!"

In the evening, many people were taking a walk when they saw a group of marine creatures that looked familiar but were enormous. Their crimson eyes were chilling, and some of them had severed many limbs at zero degrees Celsius. They were like a hundred ghosts walking at night, baring their teeth and claws, which scared several people to death on the spot.

Seafood, which is usually just food, has turned into man-eating monsters. Those with a sense of justice thought that if they were going to die, they should die a worthy death. They carried fire axes, cleavers, and fruit knives and charged forward.

But these monsters aren't physics-based. When the jets of water hit someone wielding a weapon, the impact was as powerful as a bullet. Even water could pierce through a person.

Even more shockingly, someone had their arm severed by a water blade. The adrenaline made them forget the pain, and despite the splattering blood, they still had the energy to curse, "Is this some kind of magical monster? Is there a Superman to save us?!"

"No Superman, but there is a policeman." A cold female voice rang in his ears. The man who had fallen to the ground felt a chill on his arm. The belated pain made him howl. For a moment, he didn't know whether to look at the beautiful woman in front of him or his wound covered by ice.

"Tsk." The umbrella lifted the wounded man and handed him to the medical staff who arrived from behind. "After treating his wounds, let's also check his brain."

"Yes, Umbrella Beauty."

The umbrella rolled its eyes at the white-browed man. "Arrival status?"

“Level 1: 492 people, Level 2: 561 people, Level 3: 12 people, and Level 4: you and me, a total of 6 people,” Bai Mei said simply, tossing her a protective cap.

"Useful?" He took the umbrella and put it on, but the ice blade continued to kill the parasitic beast without stopping.

"It's better than nothing." White-browed shrugged and turned to kick a strange beast away.

"If I get parasitized, I'll kill you first."

"Each each other."

Most of the superpowered individuals in Guangdong Province were recruited. Level 1 individuals were mainly stationed in the rear, Level 2 individuals formed groups to launch ranged attacks to prevent being parasitized, Level 3 individuals were responsible for coordination, and Level 4 individuals engaged in direct combat. However, there were only six Level 4 individuals in Guangdong Province. Four of them had been called over by Wan Hongdong to protect Shantou City, and one was stationed in the south. Since Wan Hongdong could not come, he also sent two Level 4 individuals from other provinces who were on business trips in Guangdong Province to provide support.

However, the situation is still not optimistic, because the alpha parasite has almost no natural enemies, and as long as it doesn't die, it's only a matter of time before it changes hosts.

At the bottom of the sea, Chu Deng pursed her lips, raised her hand to touch the skin of the strange beast in front of her, and seemed to be deep in thought.

The next moment, she made up her mind and her consciousness connected with the fire tree on the shore.

Because Huoshu had once devoured the golden Alpha Worm, she could also control it, but Huoshu's movement was restricted, so there wasn't much fun in linking with Chudeng. There were few links, but this time Huoshu had to step in, with Wuyun playing a supporting role.

Once Fire Tree has taken control of the area above, I need to find that dead octopus and kill the Insect King, which will also give Zero some closure.

Chu Deng calmed himself down, located the camp, and lit up the motionless spot of light.

The fiery trees in the camp immediately responded to Chu Deng. When the man and the tree were of one mind, flames rose everywhere!

The towering flames broke through the roof, the fiery tree cheered and stretched its roots, its ever-growing branches breaking through the wall, its leaves covered with shimmering patterns.

The long-sought-after breakthrough was shattered the moment Chu Deng's consciousness descended.

Level 4!
