Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Chapter 672 The Beast Tide Returns

Wu Hen looked at the heroic figure, and before he could respond, Zuo Qing'er had already walked straight to the edge of the city wall.

"The construction of Jialin Pass is really... sloppy."

Zuo Qing'er looked at the outline of the pass gradually taking shape in the distance, her tone calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Chen Moyu hurried to catch up, and said apologetically, "Commander Zuo, time is tight and the task is heavy. It's already very good that it can be completed in one month."

"After all, with twelve A-level war passes under construction simultaneously, we're stretched thin on both manpower and resources, so the resources we can allocate to Jialin Pass are really limited."

Zuo Qing'er nodded slightly and glanced at the busy workers who were sweating profusely, wishing they could use one day as two.

"Twelve A-level war passes... this is a truly grand undertaking."

Zuo Qing'er sighed softly.

"The higher-ups have invested a lot of money. However, the manpower issue is indeed a big problem."

"Especially at this critical juncture..."

Chen Moyu's face darkened, and he obviously thought of something.

"By the way, what's the situation with the Night Watch?" Zuo Qing'er suddenly asked.

"The number of new Night's Watch members has indeed increased recently, but their quality... is mixed."

Chen Moyu paused and continued,

"Also, in order to support Jialin Pass, we have to transfer some veterans from other places."

"As a result, the combat effectiveness of the Night's Watch in various places will probably be greatly affected."

Zuo Qing'er fell silent. This was a dilemma.

Without deploying veteran soldiers, the defense of Jialin Pass could not be guaranteed. If an accident occurred, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, if veterans are withdrawn, the defense capabilities in other places will be weakened, which also poses huge risks.

"It seems that we can only find a way to improve the quality of training for new recruits." Zuo Qing'er's eyes narrowed.

"Tell the training camp to increase the intensity of training and shorten the training period."

"We strive to enable them to have a certain level of combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time."

"But..." Chen Moyu hesitated to speak.

"No buts!"

Zuo Qing'er said in a firm tone,

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! I know this will put a lot of pressure on the new recruits, but this is what they must bear. If you want to protect this world, you must pay the price!"

At this moment, a rapid phone ring suddenly rang, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

Zuo Qing'er frowned and picked up the phone.

"I'm Zuo Qing'er...what?!"

Her face turned pale in an instant, and her originally calm eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Zuo Qing'er's voice trembled slightly.

There was a noisy voice coming from the other end of the phone, as if someone was talking about something important.

"I understand...I'll arrange it immediately!"

Zuo Qing'er hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

"Something happened." She turned to look at Chen Moyu, her tone heavy.

"The second catastrophic beast tide... has appeared."

Chen Moyu widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"What?! A second catastrophic beast tide?!"

"And..." Zuo Qing'er paused, her expression becoming even uglier.

"The communication tower at Shenlong Pass... was destroyed."

"The communication tower was destroyed?!"

Chen Moyu exclaimed, "What...what does this mean?!"

"This means that we received the news at least half a day late!"

Zuo Qing'er gnashed her teeth and said, "Half a day is enough for the beast tide to advance quite far!"

"Then...what should we do?" Chen Moyu's voice trembled slightly.

"Immediately activate the highest level of combat readiness!"

Zuo Qing'er decisively ordered,

"Notify all top human experts and special teams to immediately go to Shenlong Pass for support! Also, have Wang Mianren prepare himself and be ready to travel through time at any time!"

"Yes!" Chen Moyu responded immediately and turned around to carry out the order.

"Wait!" Zuo Qing'er called her.

"We have no idea about the situation at Shenlong Pass. We must get first-hand intelligence as soon as possible."

"Then... who will go?" Chen Moyu asked.

Zuo Qing'er's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something.

"What are the countermeasures? Commander Zuo, how should we respond?" Chen Moyu continued to ask in an urgent tone.

Zuo Qing'er patted Chen Moyu's shoulder and said in a very firm tone, "Moyu, we still need you to take charge of Jialin Pass. I'll go check on the situation at Shenlong Pass."

Chen Moyu was stunned. She wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zuo Qing'er's eyes.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Zuo Qing'er raised her lips with a confident arc.

"This little scene can't faze me."

The next second, a dazzling green light burst out from Zuo Qing'er's body, streaking across the sky like a flash of lightning.

It disappeared into the air in an instant, leaving only faint energy fluctuations echoing in the air.

Chen Moyu stood there, looking in the direction where Zuo Qing'er disappeared, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that Zuo Qing'er's journey was extremely dangerous, but she also understood that this was a responsibility Zuo Qing'er had to shoulder.

"Commander Zuo, you must return safely..." Chen Moyu prayed silently, then turned around resolutely and walked towards the helicopter.

Jialin Pass still needs her.

Shenlong Pass is like hell on earth at this moment.

The roaring beast tide was like a black tide, hitting the gap in the outer wall wave after wave.

On the broken city walls, the night watchmen fought bloody battles, each one like a tireless machine.

He waved the weapon in his hand and killed the ferocious beast that pounced on him.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the roars of wild beasts and the roars of humans, interweaving into a tragic symphony of war.

The [Nightfall] team is also in the midst of this brutal battle.

"Fatty, hold on! Don't let these beasts rush over!" Shen Qingzhu shouted to Baili Fatty beside him while waving his sword.

Baili Pang'er was sweating profusely. Every time he swung the giant axe in his hand, he could take the lives of several ferocious beasts.

But the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

"Qingzhu, where is Qiye? Why haven't I seen him?" Fatty Baili asked, panting.

Shen Qingzhu shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen him since a while ago."

At this moment, An Yuqing suddenly spoke up: "I seemed to see him go outside the outer wall."

"Outside the outer wall?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard that.

"What is he doing outside? Looking for death?!" Jialan'er couldn't help but exclaimed.

Outside the outer wall is the center of the beast tide. A human going out is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"I don't know, but he definitely has his own plans."

Cao Yuanhai said in a deep voice, "All we can do now is trust him and do our own thing."

In front of the outer wall of Shenlong Pass, Qiye's figure stood quietly.

He was surrounded by dense magic circles, which emitted lights of various colors, interweaving into a gorgeous light curtain.

These magic circles are not simple defensive formations, but "magic fortresses" carefully arranged by Qiye.

Hundreds and thousands of magic circles meshed with each other like precise gears, forming a huge and complex magic system.

This system can not only resist the impact of the beast tide, but also convert the power of the beast tide into its own energy, thereby continuously strengthening itself.

As time went by, the light of the magic fortress became brighter and brighter, and finally formed a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the beasts retreated as if they had encountered some terrifying existence.

Qiye stood in the center of the light column, looking calmly ahead.

He also didn't know what happened after the beast tide.

But he knew he was ready.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are..."

Qiye murmured softly, and a black sword slowly emerged in his hand.

On the helicopter, Chen Moyu frowned, and the intermittent distress signal from Shen Longguan came from the communicator, becoming weaker and weaker.

She slammed the console hard. "Damn it! Why is the signal getting worse? Shenlongguan, what happened?"
