Fu Yunting froze Chenchen’s time.
Neither alive nor dead.
Chenchen’s vision was pitch black, metal fragments floating in the sky, moving very slowly…
So slow that it felt like a millimeter moved in a century.
She was going mad, how could it be so slow.
“Xiao Nuan, is it ready?”
“Mhm!”
An Nuan spread her black wings, which seemed to merge with the darkness of the night.
“Everyone, don’t go all out. The most important thing is spectacle!”
Hai Changfeng and Lu Tian charged forward with their light swords.
Lin Shui’s thunder dragon was all show and no substance; it looked impressive from the outside, but with reduced voltage, it was hollow inside!
“Kill them!”
“Ouch, I’m injured!”
“Careful, I almost got scratched by claws!”
“You little punks, come at me and I’ll finish you!”
Three thousand people fighting tens of thousands of zombies, a full hour of live broadcast, was seen by everyone in the city.
Yunfeng Building, four walls, a giant screen showing the live broadcast!
Almost all the survivors in the city came out to watch.
“So that’s why the zombies have been fewer lately. They were all wiped out by them.”
“Wow, that’s tens of thousands of zombies. If they had attacked us, who could have held them off?”
“Heh, let alone tens of thousands of zombies, look, there are sixth-tier ones in there. Just two sixth-tier ones would finish us all off!”
Everyone felt a chill down their spines.
There were few sixth-tier ability users outside, and fifth-tier ones were treasures.
Even though the total number was much larger than that in the community, the various groups did not necessarily help each other.
When trouble struck, it was good if they didn’t kick you while you were down, let alone care about each other’s lives.
But they cared.
Tens of thousands of zombies definitely didn’t wander there naturally; they must have been guided.
“Who was it that said Nuan Yun Community was strange and zombies would never attack?”
“Exactly, who spread the rumors?”
“This is much harder than waves of attacks, this is a city massacre!”
“If they weren’t blocking them, it’s likely the city would have been massacred.”
“Heh, then we would have been the ones massacred…”
The survivors fell silent.
Some looked at the battle footage on the screen and actually cried.
“Good people, truly good people! I misunderstood them before, and I even wanted to throw dung bombs at their community. I was so wicked!”
“I also thought about dumping garbage at their community.”
“I even cut off the water supply to their farming base.”
“What the hell, how could you be so bad?”
“Oh, I know I was wrong. I won’t cause trouble anymore. I’ll help them dig for free, okay?”
“I won’t cause trouble anymore either. From now on, they are my gods!”
“Who wants a weakling like you as their god? It should be me!”
“It’s me!”
Nanmen Ying stood at the top of Yunfeng Building, large beads of sweat dripping down her forehead.
Chen Wenjing patted her back and comforted her, “Are you alright? Just hold on a little longer, it’ll be over soon.”
Nanmen Ying smiled, “I’m fine, just a little tired. I can still hold on.”
“I just didn’t expect it to be so tiring even with the amplifier and diffuser.”
“After all, there are still millions of survivors in the city. Infiltrating most of their minds and planting suggestions, that’s not a physical task?”
Nanmen Ying smiled.
Without Chen Wenjing in charge, no one could have made her do something so dangerous.
If someone’s ability was a counter to theirs, they might end up trapped within the mental environment.
Nanmen Ying wouldn’t risk it for anyone else, only Chen Wenjing could give her peace of mind.
“It’ll be over in a little while.”
Nanmen Ying smiled, “When this is resolved, let’s take Xiao Long out for a tour. There should be quite a few safe places in the city, we can drive out for a walk.”
“Okay, Xiao Long will be very happy.”
Chen Wenjing closed her eyes and continued to broadcast signals to those around her.
The survivors were weeping, some from being moved, others from hating how wicked they had been.
Suddenly, everyone became a morally upright good person.
“Look, that snake appeared out of nowhere, it looks like an异种 (yìzhǒng - variant/mutant)!”
“And zombies! Look, they’re talking to the zombies.”
“Oh my god, I heard before that they kept zombies, is that true?”
“Nonsense, do these look like they’re being kept? Do any kept creatures wear such nice clothes and have such clean faces? Why do I feel… like they’re companions.”
Fu Yunting was communicating with Zhai Yan, asking him to block the fleeing zombies at the tail end.
Zhai Yan immediately complied, a wave of his hand corrupting a large number of zombies.
“They can communicate! And they’re very obedient!”
“My god, how are they so powerful!”
“God, they must be gods! Only gods can wield such divine power!”
Priests from several sects knelt down.
Everyone also felt that it made sense.
Besides gods, who else could get along well with both zombies and 异种?
At least, they had never seen it!
A spark of hope rapidly spread in the hearts of the survivors, growing from a tiny ember into a raging inferno.
Unexplained worship quickly became mainstream.
Chen Wenjing: “Alright, we can wrap it up!”
Nanmen Ying let out a long sigh of relief.
They sowed the seeds and guided them, and the seeds would grow on their own.
It was just that the growth speed was indeed faster than she had expected.
In just a few minutes, the survivors treated the community as if it were God.
An Nuan was truly at her limit.
Something that could have been resolved in ten minutes had been dragged out for an hour and a half.
The spectators weren’t tired, but she was tired of performing.
An Nuan whispered, “Fu Yunting, can we finish now? I can’t hold on any longer.”
An Nuan swept her tail, and a row of zombies’ heads exploded.
She killed them without even using her spatial powers.
Fu Yunting also whispered, “I think it’s almost enough. Hai Changfeng, what do you think?”
“I think it should be enough. From the images transmitted by Second Young Master, the effect has been achieved!”
Hai Changfeng hid in a corner out of view, secretly observing the survivors’ reactions.
An Nuan: “Okay, then let’s have a magnificent cremation.”
Qin Mu, Mu Yu, and Song Yan all smiled.
Three streams of flame of different colors twisted into a brilliant fire dragon.
Old Bird excitedly shouted, “Beautiful! Let me join too! I’m also fire-elemental!”
“Brother Niao, don’t mess around. We’ve coordinated this. If you join in with the wrong proportions, be careful of an explosion.”
Old Bird was a bit disappointed.
He ran over to his nephew’s side wanting to contribute, thinking it was a tough battle, but it turned out they had been fighting for over an hour with what looked like kitten punches.
It was really disheartening!
Song Yan smiled, “Next time, we’ll definitely bring you along!”
The fire dragon had already rushed out and swept across the battlefield.
Old Bird pursed his lips, his eyes drooping, giving him a somewhat pathetic look.
“Really?”
“Mhm, it should be soon.”
In a couple of days, they were going to clear a ruin, and they needed black fire and netherworld fire to burn away miscellaneous debris.
Having a helper would be good!
