Chapter 111: Chapter 86: A Counterattack

Real world.

Atop the abandoned lecture building.

A flash of light passed by.

Zhao Zhibing landed gently.

Xiao Baihong was standing on the steps nearby.

"Ah, I feel relieved now that the captain is back," he said with a smile.

Zhao Zhibing swept her gaze around.

They had departed with six people, but only Xiao Baihong returned—

along with the corpse of Ying on the ground.

"Was the battle fierce? How many talismans did you use this time, captain?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"Very few," Zhao Zhibing replied.

"That’s exactly what I wanted to ask about, Captain. This trip to the Otherworld doesn’t seem like your style. I remember that in the past, every time you went to the Otherworld, you would scatter talismans wildly," he continued.

The memory of those days made the corners of Xiao Baihong’s mouth twitch slightly.

"I knew there was a traitor in the team, and I took the opportunity to evaluate Little Wu," Zhao Zhibing said succinctly.

"How is he? Is he still alive?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"Alive. He’s very cautious in his actions; he should be able to make it back alive," Zhao Zhibing replied.

"Then we should..."

"First take care of Ying’s corpse, and wait for him to come back."

"Okay."

...

Wu Xiaode checked the talisman Zhao Zhibing had given him.

Using this talisman would be too wasteful.

Better to save it.

After he killed the monster in front of him, he would just go back.

Xiao Baihong and Zhao Zhibing might still be waiting for him at that abandoned lecture building.

Wu Xiaode placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Just as he was about to make his move, his gaze suddenly caught the Book of the Dead floating in mid-air.

Wait!

The Book of the Dead always required the admiration and praise of the living.

And he had already done two live streams.

The response had been quite good.

He had successfully built the Wall of Sighs.

But there were also many who doubted—

"Your mecha looks so fake! Mechas aren’t like that, we have data..."

Internet warriors banged on their keyboards, listing various possibilities.

And sure enough, many believed them!

"Your bone dragon completely deviates from a fantasy setting. It’s actually not like that, it should be..."

Fantasy enthusiasts chastised the bone dragon’s design, claiming the movie didn’t respect the original form of the bone dragon, creating a mishmash.

Of course, there were other doubts—

"This has to be real!"

In a world full of apparitions, you’re definitely covering something up, right?

And so on.

Various analyses, various doubts, countless in number.

Even though he had established Wu Virtue Films with the Royal backing, the doubts online never ceased, even escalating.

The Royal considered revealing the truth.

But it was a complicated matter.

Before the actual Doomsday arrived, they needed the general populace to continue production and construction, gathering whatever resources they could, which would allow for more mechas, or an extra fortification.

Perhaps even an extra day’s worth of food.

More importantly—

Thinking.

Once it was declared that demons really existed, there was no doubt that the Holy Sect’s indoctrination would become more popular.

In the face of monsters and death, people would believe in the Holy Sect’s dogma.

Governments aiming to mobilize the populace would undoubtedly face significant obstacles.

And the Holy Sect would acquire immense authority.

People wouldn’t work or build anymore, they’d all flock to join the Holy Sect, doing inexplicable things and constantly spouting religious talk, possibly even attacking the current government and Order.

That would make the situation even more passive.

So—

All nations were fully engaged in producing, storing energy and materials, and heavily investing in infrastructure, while also secretly building defensive installations.

In case the situation collapsed at that moment.

Everyone would know the truth.

Wu Xiaode sighed.

At this moment, he was in a parallel world three years in the future.

Such a great opportunity—

Could he not record a segment?

Yes, at that moment, the most crucial thing for him was to respond to the doubts.

After all, he would need appreciation in the future.

If everyone did not agree, that would be troublesome.

Well then...

Today, I’m going to give you something fierce.

Wu Xiaode waved his hand casually.

The surrounding silent Demon Mist all merged with the air, becoming invisible.

—"Illusion" effective!

Wu Xiaode turned on the video recording function of his phone and pressed the start button.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,"

"Welcome to our major sci-fi movie filming site."

He suddenly closed his mouth.

At the same time, the monster standing not far away suddenly turned around, looking around suspiciously.

But there was no sound anymore.

"Ao?"

The monster let out a suspicious howl.

—This was a monster with a unicorn snake’s head, a human body, and long bird claws.

It had clearly heard a noise just now but now there were no sounds, and it couldn’t see any humans, so it was somewhat alert.

It raised one claw, stood on one leg, and extended its neck in the spot, quietly listening.

If it heard that sound again—

it was going to strike with all its might!

Little did it know, under the embrace of the silent Demon Mist, Wu Xiaode was already standing next to it.

He placed his head close to the monster, raised his phone high aiming at both himself and the monster, and with his other hand shaped into a fist, he put it to his lips and puckered up in a cute gesture.

Thud!

A dull sound.

Right after making the cute gesture, Wu Xiaode punched the monster and sent it flying away.

"See, ladies and gentlemen? Our special effects are very realistic."

As he walked forward, he continued with the phone still in hand:

"Look at this street modeling, and the Royal Palace, as well as the corpses on the street; doesn’t it look like a scene from Doomsday?"

"I know some people online think there’s something wrong with my livestream..."

"But there’s one thing you might have overlooked—"

"This is a major production!"

"Firstly, please pull up the daily street footage of the Capital for comparison; these events didn’t happen in reality!"

Thud!

The monster came charging back and was once again punched and sent flying, rolling dozens of meters on the ground before getting up and going off to find other monsters.

Wu Xiaode changed his location.

He found an overturned bus and jumped onto it, smiling at the camera.

"Now, let’s have a look at our monsters."

"I must compliment our original drawing and model artists."

"These are master-level monster models."

"Yes, our project is different from some previous fantasy productions because we are innovating—"

"Just enjoy it quietly!"

He flipped the phone around, aiming it at the street.

Rumble, rumble, rumble—

On the street, a group of monsters of various shapes sprinted forward.

The snake-headed monster pointed to where it had been hit just now, bellowing "Ao ao ao" in agitation.

The other monsters, hearing this, fell into contemplation.

A dog-headed monster, growing impatient, raised its hand high.

Its hand suddenly grew as big as three stories high and slammed down on the spot pointed out by the snake-head, resulting in a deafening noise.

A deep pit was created in the ground by the impact.

This dog was really cooperative!

Wu Xiaode nodded in satisfaction, then shook his head.

Just smashing the ground once, how could that show the grand scale of this movie?

With a thought, he activated the silent Demon Mist.

The dog suddenly felt as if it had been fiercely punched below the waist from behind.

The punch was blocked by its robust thighs and other demons, so the camera didn’t capture it.

But it was a vicious punch indeed.

The dog was hit so hard that it jumped up, uttering a string of strange cries, and its entire body rolled on the ground, struggling to ease the intense pain for quite some time.

The dog was furious.

"Ao ao ao!"

It furiously kicked towards several monsters behind it.

The other demons were also odd.

Why the heck are you kicking us?

The monsters charged and fought amongst themselves.

...

Several minutes later.

Wu Xiaode contentedly turned off the video.

With this segment of monster footage in the Capital, it was bound to create a sensation.

Who could still question him?

Alright, it was probably time to wrap up and go home to sleep.

Wu Xiaode stretched languidly, about to kill a monster and head home when a thought suddenly jumped into his mind.

—Why not sort out that matter as well?

During his first entry into this parallel world, in that underground shelter, the soldier spirit had given him an address.

Later, the Lizard Man had also mentioned the same coordinates.

What exactly was there?

Wu Xiaode pulled out his phone and using latitude and longitude search method, rapidly typed in "32°20′ N, 64°45′ W."

The phone was set to silent, so it didn’t emit a seductive female voice for navigation but quickly planned the route.

"It’s a bit far..."

Wu Xiaode murmured to himself, then suddenly transformed into a bird and soared into the sky, heading in the direction indicated by the navigation.
