Chapter 845: 507

The Crying Hero paused in his steps upon hearing Yun Ting’s voice.

Then, he disappeared into the blizzard.

Yun Ting sighed softly. Before, Li Changhe had also talked with her about how to face another self, another self with a tragic fate.

But one thing she could be sure of was that the Crying Hero, like Li Changhe, would never strike those he cherished.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have revealed his identity as a renegade of the Council Terror Demon and grievously injured the Rose Duke.

At least, in that moment, he fought anew for everything he had lost.

"Even as a Terror Devil, you’re still you, still wanting to protect everything..." Yun Ting gently patted Li Changhe’s head as her hair flowed and she made Li Changhe’s body stand up, "Now, let me think about how to get out of this bind."

Yun Ting quickly grasped the situation at hand.

The sudden blizzard impeded support from various Safe Zones and also made evacuation difficult for the human teams.

Many human warriors went missing in the blizzard.

Previously, it was after walking an unknown distance that Yun Ting and Chen Yu met up with a human support team.

Therefore, Yun Ting immediately cancelled the Heroic Spirit Summoning and returned to Li Changhe’s side without hesitation.

However, this also meant she lost her method of communicating with the humans.

After all, inside the disaster fog, signals were blocked, and the communication between humans often relied on [Players]’ [Friends] or [forum].

Being not a [Player] herself, Yun Ting was unable to contact the outside world through [Friends].

And Li Changhe, being a [Player], had lost consciousness, and could not even send a message to reassure others.

"And it’s not safe to stay here," thought Yun Ting, "Waiting for rescue here is obviously too dangerous."

With the battle inside the Safe Zone over, the Black Great Wall and a vast number of houses were destroyed. This area had completely lost its ability to hold out.

And far off, the Terror Devils were gathering. It was no longer viable to stay here. Before support from the human teams could arrive, it was likely they would first encounter the Terror Devils.

They needed to leave quickly. Currently, Yun Ting and Li Changhe could not face too many Terror Devils at the same time.

If it really came down to it, they would find a relatively safe corner to hunker down in and wait for Li Changhe to awake.

The speed was alright, but the safety factor wasn’t very high.

After all, they no longer had the [Seal of the Heroic Spirit] with them. If they encountered a tricky Terror Devil, the situation would become complicated.

"Hopefully, we won’t run into any troublesome Terror Devils," Yun Ting thought as she controlled Li Changhe’s body and picked up Big Lead’s and the bronze short spear.

Afterward, she faintly heard gunfire in the distance.

"The lost human warriors? Let’s find them and regroup first!" Yun Ting thought as she controlled Li Changhe’s body and plunged into the blizzard.

....

On the other hand, the external command center also received updates on the battle inside the disaster fog.

The aquarium Safe Zone was forcefully breached, and it is currently known that several Council Terror Demons directly or indirectly intervened.

The seventeenth seat, the Dreamer (deceased)

Seat Fourteen, Calamity Wizard (Unknown)

Seat Nine, Wild Hunting King (Deceased)

Seat Seven, Green Lion, the Demon King (Deceased)

Seat Five, Rose Duke (Deceased)

Seat One, Crying Hero (Unknown)

The Council Terror Demons suffered heavy losses. Six of them were deployed in a siege, and four perished in battle.

On the human side, although the evacuation team successfully escaped the Safe Zone and regrouped with the support team, their numbers greatly decreased. Originally, there were two hundred and forty-seven people stationed in the Safe Zone. Only around one hundred actually regrouped.

Among them, two defending [players] went missing, presumed to have fled the Safe Zone when the city fell.

Upon hearing this news, many official [players’] eyes flashed with cold light. Clearly, they viewed these comrades who abandoned their fellows with hostility. But indeed, there was nothing good to say about it.

Of the three [players] who maintained the Black Great Wall, one fell into a coma from shock, one was killed by a Terror Demon, and one’s arm was torn off, still in critical condition.

Holder Laughing Gentleman, at the cost of a divinity-induced rampage, forcibly killed the Dreamer. At this moment, he is in shock.

During the retreat, more than sixty human warriors and two [players] got lost in the blizzard. Facing massive numbers of Terror Demons and vines, the [players] had no chance to search for them.

General Li Ba... went missing as well.

No one knew his current status; they could only see that he was still alive in their [Friends] list.

He boldly attacked three Council Terror Demons alone and swiftly killed two of them.

In the last moments, he engaged the Rose Duke, transformed into the Withered Rose, providing the human team with a chance to retreat. He even managed to kill the Rose Duke.

When the official members received the news at the time, they were overjoyed. But now...

"After tonight’s battle, regardless of whether General Li Ba makes it onto the Battle Power Rankings, he will be the Crownless King," an official [player] whispered, "I hope he’s still alive."

In the command room, Yang Dong’s expression remained calm, but the stainless steel teacup in his hands was already crumpled into a ball.

His tone unchanging, he said, "The Terror Demons suffered severe losses, but... the evolved machine factory has reached an unimaginable level.""

"Indeed," someone concluded, "It must have replicated a great number of abilities from the battles between humans and Terror Demons during this time. Those Council Terror Demons are just pawns it threw out to attract us. It is the greatest danger!"

"The die is cast; speaking of this now is of no use," a handsome young man shook his head, "It had calculated everything from the beginning. It formed a collective with the Terror Demons and deepened the conflict, thereby accelerating its evolution. I wondered why that rank three Demigod, Holy Sun, forcefully broke into the first Safe Zone. As a Terror Demon, she cannot recover her godly strength. Facing the siege of dozens of [players], death was certain. Now I think about it, it must have been the machine factory’s doing. To deal with Holy Sun, the [players] revealed too much of their hand. And all of that, it took into account."

"After the extermination team’s hunt, most of the dangerous Terror Demons have been annihilated. The remaining Terror Demons are not a concern, and even the non-[player] warriors can defeat them. But... relying solely on the forces in the disaster fog is not enough to deal with the machine factory," said the commanding officer in the main seat, "We still rely on the Terror Demons shaping plan. How many?"

The Terror Deviation Plan, to put it simply, is to use certain means to forcibly distort the source of fear. It acts as a psychological surgery to change one’s own perception of the strength of Terror Demons.

The plan has been developed and successfully tested, and has already begun to be implemented.

When the time comes, a large number of forces will flood into the disaster fog. The Terror Demons produced will not be a danger to humans. Then the battle situation will become clear.

"It’s still far from enough, you also know the traits of the machine factory. We must punch it to death in one blow, otherwise, it will quickly take more troublesome actions against our plan," someone said.

"Let’s hope they can hold out until then."

At that moment, the alarm sounded again.

"The Sky Curtain... The machine factory has released the Sky Curtain! It... It must have sensed our intentions."
