Chapter 790: Chapter 454: Speculation

With the end of the battle, the two human teams successfully merged.

There were less than two hundred people in the group, comprising of eight players and more than fifty non-player combat personnel—a formidable fighting force.

However, about half of them were injured; the soldiers Li Changhe brought up from underground were all wounded.

Old Zhao’s side wasn’t much better; they seemed to have fought against humans and monsters. There were many casualties.

As for now, vehicles were not an option for Yanyun because of the previous evacuation; cars were haphazardly parked all over the road.

Returning to the Safe Zone at night with a group of people having difficulty moving would be dangerous.

Thus, after discussing, the players decided to retreat to the building first.

After all, it was originally set up as a safe zone by a player organization. It provided some defense, at least enough for the team to recover.

In reality, the building’s security level was not high, nowhere near as safe as an official underground parking lot or stadium.

Although the interior space was large, the structural defenses would be under immense pressure.

The original Safe Zone was set up on the first to fifth floors with the first floor filled with traps and automated turrets.

However, if a Terror Devil broke through and occupied the first floor, those above would have no choice but to jump out of the building to escape.

Not to mention that some Terror Devils could fly, so people on the upper floors weren’t safe either, at risk of being attacked from all directions.

At the least, hiding in an underground parking lot provided some anti-air capabilities.

Nevertheless, the team didn’t have much choice now. After tidying up the battlefield, they immediately returned to the building.

Some of them even obtained some valuable items; after all, the gear of some Terror Devils was quite unique.

For example, Old Zhao found a pair of twin swords from the Treasures Immortal Team. They were Rare weapons, so he made a fortune.

It had to be said that he had changed a lot. Just a week ago, he was a student terrified by even a video of a tiger.

Now, he could calmly engage in gunfights and search corpses without changing his expression.

Oh, well, he was already throwing up.

That’s normal.

As for the other Terror Devils, they were also dealt with. The humanoid Terror Devils and those that looked inedible were burned, while the beast-type ones became food reserves.

As for the Abyssal Worm... it was too big. If it was edible, it would feed the humans inside the disaster fog for a long time.

Unfortunately, after discussing for a while, the players felt they just couldn’t take the carcass away.

Leaving such a large piece of meat behind, wouldn’t it be eaten by some meat-eating Terror Devils? They shouldn’t let it fall into enemy hands, as even monsters needed to eat.

After some hesitation, the players began to cut up the Abyssal Worm.

They decided to take away some useful parts and let the officials send someone later to deal with the rest.

As a result, each player on site received a large portion of the Abyssal Worm’s components. Li Changhe obtained seven or eight enormous and sharp teeth. He couldn’t carry more.

This was good stuff. The Abyssal Worm crushed rocks using these teeth, proving their high hardness.

However, Li Changhe didn’t care too much about it. Compared to the dead Bug, a living one would be much more helpful.

When Li Changhe drove the Abyssal Worm, he naturally wielded the power to crush most enemies simply by his size. It was just too cool.

If the Abyssal Worm had lived a bit longer, dealing with the Six-winged Gatekeeper wouldn’t have been so troublesome. What a pity.

He didn’t know if there were any more giant non-human units in the disaster fog for Li Changhe to ride. He needed to stay mindful of the official forces.

It was said that during Li Changhe’s time in the underground area, some players had used the monsters’ traits to kill quite a few. Using monsters to fight monsters was the most perfect solution.

Afterward, the team returned to the building for defense.

Official players quickly set up several defensive lines and reorganized the living areas.

During this time, Li Changhe also contacted He Feng and the others through the [Friends] list.

He Feng and the others were ambushed by the other Terror Devils while pursuing the Six-winged Gatekeeper previously.

Fortunately, He Weifeng’s regenerative abilities were extremely strong under the Divine State, or else it would have been a disaster.

Later, he, Ghost Face, and Shui Yue joined the Insect Swarm Punishment Team once again.

"Since you’ve already killed the Six-winged Gatekeeper, there shouldn’t be any problems." He Weifeng replied via [Friends]. "However, she shouldn’t be your Terror Devil, right? Why did she harbor such strong hostility towards you? She even risked attacking just to kill you."

Humanoid terror demon and the ones that seemed uneatable were simply burned. Meanwhile, beast-type fear demons became ready-to-eat food.

In fact, the Killing Squad had recently found it difficult to track down those powerful Terror Devils. Someone—or rather, some Terror Devil—had been secretly contacting those highly dangerous beings and reaching agreements with them.

Now, those originally reckless and dangerous guys were all united in hiding. The Killing Squad aimed at eliminating them but had returned multiple times without success.

Officials speculated that it was the work of the Robot Factory. Only it had such capabilities to accurately connect with so many Terror Devils at the same time.

Now, what humans needed to do was to kill the newly manufactured and powerful Terror Devils before the Robot Factory could unite them further. Otherwise, the pressure on humans would become even greater.

The Six-winged Gatekeeper, however, was an anomaly.

She had acted on three occasions. The first time, she attacked and destroyed an unofficial Safe Zone.

After that, she went into hiding.

The second time was when Li Changhe and the others were preparing to leave the underground area.

The third time was just now when she ultimately died by Li Changhe’s hands.

It was way too targeted against Li Changhe.

Li Changhe’s Terror Devil could not be the Six-winged Gatekeeper since he hadn’t even seen her before.

Why take the risk of being killed by the Killing Squad just to kill Li Changhe?

"It might be because of my Black Mud Divinity." Li Changhe replied, "The Black Mud Divinity is not safe. In fact, it’s rather distorted and chaotic. It is the embodiment of malice. For some beings, it might be an enemy that must be exterminated."

Actually, Li Changhe could more or less grasp some clues from the Six-winged Gatekeeper’s words.

Together with the black throne he saw when using Black Mud Divinity for the first time, it was too much of a coincidence.

Was it the so-called Black Mud God? Its appearance at this time was just too coincidental, right?

At least, it could be confirmed that a Terror Devil with a huge connection with himself had already appeared.

This being had a stronger control over the Black Mud Divinity than Li Changhe and was even called an Evil God by the Six-winged Gatekeeper.

And he and Li Changhe were... the same person.

The same person...

Upon thinking about it, Li Changhe felt a bit complicated. He had more or less guessed who the other person was.

Looking into the distance at the fog and the night, Li Changhe sighed softly.

The sigh sounded like a crow perching on a tombstone, deep and low.

"Another me, huh?"
