Outside the cave, Aibo leaned against the stone wall, gazing at the hellfire rising from the depths of the mountains. The thick smoke seemed to cry out to the world about the atrocities committed by Soulless. Even from such a distance, Aibo felt as if he could hear the desperate cries of the human populace.
It was around seven o'clock; night had fallen, seemingly cheering on Soulless's slaughter. George and the Spirit Corps approached Aibo from behind, joining him in watching what was once a neon-lit burning ground.
"Are we not going to help?" George asked, knowing that Aibo had a companion he could summon.
"Soon," Aibo replied, opening his palm to observe the increasingly urgent flickering lights within it.
The Spirit Corps looked ahead with anticipation, some already restless and itching to move behind George.
"Buzz—"
As Aibo had predicted, a Time Portal opened immediately before the corpses.
"Charge!" Without a second thought, George pushed forward, but Aibo quickly stepped in front of him, blocking the Spirit Corps's advance.
"Ah!" George fell to the ground with a thud, shaking his head in confusion as he looked up at Aibo.
"What’s wrong?" George asked, clearly displeased.
Aibo pointed towards the world beyond the Time Portal, signaling for the Spirit Corps to take a closer look.
This time, none of the Spirit Corps dared to move.
The Time Portal had opened high in the air, revealing a snowy night sky outside.
Fortunately, Aibo reacted quickly; if they had jumped in without looking, they would surely have ended up in the demon realm for good.
"How could it be in such a place..." George shuddered in shock.
"You all come later; Aibo will summon you," Aibo said without hesitation as he jumped into the portal, disappearing into the flurry of snowflakes. In the night sky, this Big Guy was particularly conspicuous. Soon after, the Time Portal sealed shut.
"Why can he jump?" several Spirit Corps members asked George in unison.
George was just as puzzled and could only explain, "Uh, maybe... he's made of stone and doesn't fear it..."
And indeed, that was true. Aibo's body was entirely composed of stones reinforced by Life Crystals, making him far harder than ordinary stone.
In mid-air
"Hey—how do I deploy the parachute—"
Lu Sha screamed, her voice completely distorted. She turned her head to look at Xu Yicheng above her.
"No need!"
"What—"
"Not—needed—"
This infuriated Lu Sha; if it weren't for Xu Yicheng being the most capable physicist in the country, she would have loved to shoot him right then and there.
As she saw the ground getting closer and closer, Lu Sha could only frantically fumble with her parachute pack behind her...
Found it!
Lu Sha's eyes lit up as she hurriedly tried to pull it open—
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a Stone Giant flew out from the sky beside them. In Lu Sha's astonished eyes, Aibo reached out a large hand toward her.
"Ugh!" Lu Sha felt herself being gently gathered up, and then everything went dark; she couldn't see anything.
Aibo turned to look at Xu Yicheng in the sky, seemingly seeking his approval.
Xu Yicheng smiled knowingly and shouted, "So cool! Big Guy—"
As he spoke, Xu Yicheng pressed down on the backpack he was wearing on his chest—his parachute bag was strapped to his back, so he had to hold his backpack in front of him.
With a crisp bang, hydrogen fuel ignited at the bottom of the backpack, propelling Xu Yicheng toward Aibo. Aibo extended his hand, ready to catch Xu Yicheng.
What a beautiful scene: in the snow-filled night sky, a person's chest trailed a light gray flame as he rushed toward the giant's outstretched palm.
They were falling rapidly toward the ground but still remembered to embrace each other.
"Here I come!"
Xu Yicheng dove into Aibo's large palm, and Aibo gently enclosed both of them, preparing for impact.
They were getting closer...
Lu Sha couldn't help but peek out to take a look, only to be frightened and quickly retract her head.
They were going to crash into the building!
"I'll never go skydiving again—" Lu Sha screamed.
Her scream pierced through the night sky as they descended.
The zombies looked back in confusion at the sound; a green meteor shot straight toward the building and crashed inside, followed by a cacophony of clattering sounds from within.
"Boom!"
Finally, a powerful shockwave kicked up dust and shattered the glass on the lowest floor. Nearby parked cars immediately began honking in panic, and several documents flew out, fluttering above the snow- and blood-covered street.
"Wow..." Several zombies exchanged glances and decided to check it out.
The zombies climbed onto the car and jumped down, stepping closer to the darkness...
On the car window, a massive silhouette gradually emerged, with bluish veins glowing brighter and brighter. The zombies froze instantly, roaring into the darkness but none dared to step forward.
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly! A Chain Spear shot out from the darkness, slicing through the air from the left side of the sofa toward the right! The spiked chain was deadly under such immense force; the zombies had no time to react as the Chain Spear seemed to have calculated its height perfectly, aiming directly at the neck of the leftmost zombie—
"Sizzle—"
The sound of necks being severed came one after another as they watched their companion be decapitated, causing the zombies on the street to retreat in fear.
"Ahahaha, this is just too satisfying!"
Lu Sha's chilling laughter echoed throughout the first-floor lobby, making it feel like she was truly the ultimate villain.
Aibo snorted and followed behind Lu Sha, carrying an anchor and stepping into the streetlight with heavy strides; each step seemed to exude an aura that filled the battlefield with pressure.
"Big Guy, take our Dr. Xu to a safe place," Lu Sha said.
"Huh?" Xu Yicheng hid behind Aibo, watching Lu Sha's back.
"I don't want my efficiency in killing to be affected because I have to protect you," Lu Sha chuckled as she gazed at the hesitant Zombie Horde on the street.
"Uh..." Xu Yicheng quietly set down the nail gun he had picked up. He actually wanted to kill the zombie, but he was frightened by Lu Sha's eerie tone.
"Then you..." Aibo looked at Lu Sha.
"Are you still not at ease with me?" Lu Sha smiled faintly, the iron armor on both sides of his cheeks immediately coming together, his beautiful red hair falling at the corners of his eyes, obscuring his charming face along with the armor. The killing intent that Xiao Kuang had suppressed for years finally found its release—after so long, he could finally kill freely.
"Let me... find my rhythm."
The chain spear unlocked from his other wrist, and Xiao Kuang charged toward the roaring Zombie Horde, dragging the dual chains that sparked against the ground...
On another street, the flames continued to roar in front of the soldiers' chests, the red-hot gun muzzles emitting white smoke, and bullet casings littered the brown snow trampled by military boots. The soldiers pulled along the elderly and children who had fallen behind while firing at the Zombie Horde. However, the Zombie Horde did not pursue them any longer; the soldiers led the civilians further away from the Soulless.
"We can't leave them behind." One soldier suddenly stopped and pointed to the nightmarish scene where Divine Fist was fighting while retreating. There were too many zombies; even if they were skilled, they couldn't keep holding off for the soldiers and civilians.
"Hurry up! They are our country's strongest secret unit!" A rescued officer shouted to a soldier while pulling a little boy who had gotten separated from his family.
"But they are human too!"
"Isn't the child I'm holding human?!" the officer yelled.
The soldier hesitated, looking toward the two Celestial Warriors who were desperately resisting ahead.
"Move! That's an order!"
The officer felt guilty; he knew that in this soldier's eyes, he was an accomplice to the zombies.
More and more zombies were rushing in. Divine Fist remained fierce at the front but was starting to feel overwhelmed. The nightmare provided cover for Divine Fist; any zombie attempting to ambush him had its neck snapped by her. She changed magazines one after another...
"Click!"
"Damn it." The nightmare emptied her magazine again. Just as she pulled out a new magazine from behind her, a zombie suddenly lunged at her with lightning speed—
" Sister Jiao An!" Divine Fist punched through several zombies beside him and dashed forward.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out from behind; although it didn't kill the zombie, it knocked it down to the ground. Without thinking, the nightmare drew her dagger and decapitated the zombie.
Divine Fist glanced back at the nightmare. The soldier slowly lowered his gun and saluted them before turning around and running toward the evacuation point in the south of the city with the officer.
Divine Fist nodded in acknowledgment and then turned back to smash a charging zombie's skull with a punch.
Having fought fiercely for so long, as the zombies saw they could not break through, they surrounded them and snarled with bared teeth.
Divine Fist gasped for breath, covering his head with his fists; meanwhile, the nightmare raised her gun, ready to fire at any moment.
"Hey," Divine Fist said.
The nightmare glanced at him sideways.
"Give me two guns."
A smile appeared on the nightmare's face as she replied, "Now? That doesn't seem appropriate."
Divine Fist stretched his neck; with a crack sound, he said, "True, just give them to me later; you know what I mean."
The surrounding zombies couldn't understand what they were saying and launched an attack directly at them.
Divine Fist extended both fists; his gauntlets ignited suddenly as he charged toward the Zombie Horde. With empty hands, Divine Fist rolled over to lean against the nightmare's back and reached for her waist to draw out her handgun. The nightmare fired several shots to repel the zombies and quickly drew out another handgun to toss it to Divine Fist.
With a swift side kick, Divine Fist sent one zombie flying. Following that, the dual guns in his hands opened fire, his marksmanship rivaling that of Nightmare. The two stood back to back, while Divine Fist's steel gauntlets flew around them at high speed, striking down the advancing zombies one by one.
However, no matter how fast the gauntlets were or how accurate their shots, they could not withstand the onslaught of the horde of zombies. Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by the Zombie Horde, Nightmare shouted, "Bring your gauntlets back!"
"Understood!" Divine Fist knew what she intended to do; it was a combination move they had just practiced—named by Dr. Chen as: Falling Flame Heart.
Divine Fist whistled, and the two frenzied gauntlets crashed through the obstructing zombies, returning to his hands. At the same time, Nightmare raised the “Fate Conqueror” and fired a grenade developed jointly by Xu Yicheng and Dr. Chen Hao—the Lava Grenade.
The Lava Grenade soared into the air with a fiery red trail and exploded with a loud bang. It burst like a blood-red firework, resembling a volcanic eruption as molten liquid cascaded down from above, flooding towards the ground.
The zombies looked up in fear and shrieked in terror.
Divine Fist pulled Nightmare into his embrace while extending his other hand skyward; from the gauntlet shot forth a sphere that followed the explosion of the Lava Grenade. However, this sphere exploded into a transparent waterfall that enveloped the two in its center.
The scorching molten liquid rained down, instantly igniting the surrounding zombies. One by one, they caught fire and fell into the flames...
The high-temperature liquid pooled on the ground, burning fiercely, while between the Zombie Horde and the flames stood that transparent protective shield, resembling the heart of a fiery red flower.
Nightmare hid in Divine Fist's embrace, and as her face reflected the flames, he gently brushed away the blood from her forehead wound.
The shield remained intact as high-temperature liquid flowed down from above. What flowed down was not just burning liquid but also fragments of moonlight and stars shared between them within that protective barrier.
“How… do we get out?” Nightmare asked without breaking free from Divine Fist's hold, glancing nervously around them.
Divine Fist released his grip on her and with a single punch shattered the protective shield.
“No… I meant, there’s molten liquid all around…” Nightmare pointed at the bubbling red-yellow liquid on the ground.
“Look for an opportunity,” Divine Fist replied. “Haven’t we always been looking for opportunities?”
Nightmare put away her gun and shyly smiled as she lowered her head.
Divine Fist gazed at her profile—he had never seen Jiao An look so much like a girl.
“The fireworks show is beautiful, you two,” came a voice from above.
They looked up to see Fierce Eagle and Blue Face Hero flying overhead towards the north of the city.
“I’m looking forward to their wedding; it will surely be even more splendid,” Blue Face Hero said with a smile.
“Ahem…” Fierce Eagle cleared his throat several times.
“Oh no,” exclaimed Blue Face Hero, startled.
His team communicator had not been turned off.
