Chapter 745: Chapter 210 Savior Xu Shu (Request for Monthly Tickets)
At 11:30 noon, at the north gate of the campus at (5, -3), Xu Shu, who had just heard the school bell ring, stopped in his tracks.
The interface of the Promotion Drive network suddenly disappeared from his view!
"This is..."
This sudden change startled Xu Shu, but he quickly calmed down.
He immediately made his first attempt—thrusting his hips to try and restart the Promotion Drive.
He could clearly feel a current being stimulated from inside the mechanism, tightly wrapping around him, buzzing with activity.
Xu Shu’s mind slightly relaxed.
This electric stimulation suggested that there was no problem with the Promotion Drive, as the "curse power" was infusing energy.
However, the light screen that should have appeared did not show up.
The Promotion Drive network had failed to start.
Xu Shu’s expression slightly stiffened.
"Could this be..."
Now no longer a Transcendent field layman, Xu Shu was not encountering a situation where the Promotion Drive failed to start for the first time.
In fact, it could be said that this issue had been quite frequent recently, occurring twice in just a few days.
—He now suspected that he had been pulled into the ruins!
"Ha, to actually pull the entire school into the ruins, Esoteric Buddhism truly has some significant skills, luckily I was prepared!"
Xu Shu didn’t panic; he turned over and opened the Tai Chu Scroll, ready to enter Superdimensional Mode.
Not to boast, but inside the ruins, he was invincible, and his combat ability would skyrocket.
"Tai Chu Scroll, start...wait a moment."
The next second, just as he was about to activate it, Xu Shu noticed a problem.
The Tai Chu Scroll did not start the ’Superdimensional Mode’ switch.
If it was entering the ruins, and there were still uses left in the scroll, it would automatically trigger the corresponding prompt.
But now, clearly, they had not been pulled into the ruins.
Then why couldn’t the Promotion Drive be started?
The situation wasn’t quite as he had imagined!
But regardless, what was certain was that the Jianqi Sect’s long-prepared "Blockade Drug" plan had been set in motion!
Wait, "Blockade Drug"..."Blockade"?
Damn! Could it be that the essence of this plan was to cut off the signal of my Promotion Drive?
So this "Blockade Drug" is actually a signal jammer?
What are they jamming signals for?
I see, this is aimed at severely striking down the Judgement Department’s combat plans!
The Judgement Department relies on the Promotion Network for mutual communication; with the network cut off, it’s like pulling the rug out from under them, akin to blinding everyone, and the entire strategic layout is practically destroyed on the spot.
In this way, with the people of the Judgement Department lacking command, they become scattered, allowing cultists to take advantage of the chaos to kill and set fires, causing damage that would not be so easily controlled.
Those damned Jianqi Sect, truly deceitful and malicious!
Xu Shu didn’t know if his guesses were correct since there was too little information and no concrete references.
However, he didn’t have time to think more, as less than ten seconds after the bell rang, he faintly heard screams wafting over from the campus.
"Damn, the school is actually one of their targets!"
Xu Shu was shocked, not bothering with much else, he immediately dashed into the school.
He knew that a Judgement Department team of more than thirty people was patrolling nearby, but with the Promotion Network down, he couldn’t contact them on time; the situation was urgent and he couldn’t wait here, he had to go in and start rescuing people.
However, once the others heard the noise, they would surely come to support immediately.
The advantage of being "all hands on deck" was evident here; even if the Promotion Network was cut, there was no worry of being isolated. As long as the noise was loud enough, people from their side would come to support from everywhere.
Xu Shu was anxious, riding the Kua Fu Chasing the Sun at maximum speed, flashing by in an instant.
At this moment, the parents who were waiting for school dismissal also heard that something was amiss, all gathering at the school gate shouting and causing a commotion, crowding the entrance so much that it was completely blocked. The security guards, tasked by the garrison, maintained order despite the unexpected situation, blocking people outside while sending someone to calm them down and rapidly dispatching two teams to check inside.
Several security captains with First Rank cultivation only saw his afterimage flash by, not even sure if someone really had passed.
Familiar with the school’s layout, Xu Shu didn’t stop at all and went straight to the senior high school area where his younger sister Zhou Shiyu’s class was located.
"The Promotion Network suddenly went down, the Jianqi Sect really has some capability, impossible to guard against!"
"I don’t know how many of them are here; by myself, I’m afraid I might not hold up, can’t act tough. Once I save my sister, I’ll retreat and wait for the main forces to arrive, then we’ll eliminate them together!"
While racing at breakneck speeds, Xu Shu already had a strategy forming in his mind.
Soon, Xu Shu arrived at the area where the senior high school was located.
Here, cries for help as loud as the slaughter of pigs reverberated, creating chaos everywhere.
One could see each classroom window, corridor wall smeared red with blood.
All along the corridors were people running for their lives and bizarrely shaped creatures in hot pursuit, hacking away.
From a distance, these strange creatures, also wearing school uniforms, appeared to be high school girls.
However, they hardly retained a human form anymore, being over two meters tall with arms transformed into mantis-like meaty scythes possessing both strength and speed, slashing wildly among the crowd.
The fleeing crowd was like lambs to the slaughter, each cut down one by one by these creatures, dying upon contact, a massacre unfolding.
