My Life Anthem Covers the Globe-Chapter 377: Crisis Follows Close, Alone to Cover the Retreat
Although the possibility of Su Qi using them as cannon fodder had been ruled out, Lu Zhan and the others were still on edge along the way.
Because.
The number of eerie creatures gathering behind them had reached an astonishing count. Some had even caught up with the big ship, but thanks to Chu Qingfeng’s deft maneuvering, they were narrowly shaken off.
Now, they didn’t even need to look to know that the eerie creatures behind were surging like a tide, like a giant sack ready to devour them at any moment.
Thus.
They tightly surrounded Chu Qingfeng, frequently asking how much longer he could hold on.
It seemed that if Chu Qingfeng uttered even a hint of distress, they would immediately rush to bang on Su Qi’s rest chamber, stopping his reckless actions.
However, Chu Qingfeng just gave them a disgruntled glance before focusing back on controlling the ship.
Now, he even infused his Extraordinary Power into the entire ship, using the Mechanical Path’s Extraordinary Power to elevate the ship’s performance to the utmost.
What a joke.
Su Qi had planned to annihilate the pursuing eerie creatures at a point three thousand kilometers away from the Eleventh District.
Even if Chu Qingfeng had to carry it on his back, he would ensure the ship reached there.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a loss of face for him?
Meanwhile, Nie Bao and a few others watched Lu Zhan and his team fret like ants on a hot pan and couldn’t resist taunting them: "Oh, I remember that the Transcendents of the Nine Abyss Holy City are supposed to be beyond measure, you guys aren’t impostors, are you?"
Clearly.
They had been belittled by those aloof Transcendents of the Nine Abyss Holy City before, and now, even though they were on the same side, they couldn’t help but seize the chance to mock them.
As they heard this, Lu Zhan and his team’s faces darkened, infuriated by being looked down upon by inferior people, yet knowing all too well they couldn’t gain an edge in a verbal duel, they could only silently grumble in their hearts.
Humph!
Damn it.
A bunch of cowards who haven’t dared to fight the Otherworld for years. If I hadn’t picked the wrong side from the start, I could finish you guys off with a slap, and so on.
Simultaneously, at the Eleventh District.
Devastation was everywhere; fierce fires burned across the city, countless buildings collapsed, and within the shrouding gray mist, large, terrifying figures roamed.
The carnage, wrought not just by eerie creature rampage, but also by desperate Transcendent defenses and successive Non-human Alien breakdowns, had seemingly left the ground entirely overrun, not a single mobile human in sight.
Now, less than a fifth of the human populace remained, who had mostly retreated to previously constructed underground shelters.
Defending this place was Elder Jiang leading the Jiang Family’s Transcendents. Despite no Destruction-level Transcendent deaths, two were nearing their limits after days of combat, injuries mounting perilously, with ominous signs of an impending supernatural catastrophe within.
Worse still, with the city lost, the surviving populace, found even temporarily hidden, was still discovered by lurking eerie creatures, and with depleted resources, hiding was becoming untenable.
Thus, they were forced more and more frequently to return above ground, scavenging for survival supplies.
"Elder Jiang, we can no longer risk sending others out for supplies. If eerie creatures discover this stronghold, the Eleventh District will fall entirely," a Destruction-level Transcendent approached Elder Jiang.
Elder Jiang knew only by all four Destruction-level Transcendents recovering could they contend with the eerie creatures within the city.
With everyone injured, they were compelled to temporarily hunker down.
Yet without returning above to gather supplies, the populace hiding underground wouldn’t last three days.
Lacking resources prolonged their companions’ recovery immensely.
Thus.
Elder Jiang was caught in a dilemma.
He never thought this catastrophe would strike so violently.
Five Destruction-level Transcendents giving their all achieved only this much, already beyond expectations.
Even.
He dared not ponder the situation in the Ninth District of late.
Because the Ninth District housed not only their Jiang Family but also the exceptional grandson-in-law yet to join them... oh, his gifted grandson-in-law.
At that moment.
His heart brimmed with boundless regret.
He felt he should have persisted, saved face or not, to stay in the Ninth District and salvage Su Qi.
Thinking of Su Qi surrounded by those misfits from Jingxue Holy City pained him deeply.
"Achoo!"
On the big ship, Nie Bao and a few others sneezed in unison, exchanged glances, then turned their focus to Lu Zhan’s team.
Damn.
It’s embarrassing.
The Destruction-level Transcendents of the Nine Abyss Holy City resorting to magical attacks, it’s revolting.
Lu Zhan’s team, conversely, paid it no mind. Now they were all in the same boat, what’s the harm in a few curses?
Simultaneously.
The ship was closing in on the location Su Qi had specified.
The pursuing eerie creatures behind, like a wave ready to engulf heaven and earth, resembled the scenario during the first assault on the Ninth District.
And.
Right then.
A sudden chill swept over everyone aboard, like cold eyes surveying them.
Everyone involuntarily shivered.
And in the rest chamber, Su Qi simultaneously opened his eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Found you."
In an instant, Su Qi knew a creature beyond Source Level had locked onto them.
Thus.
He walked directly out.
Lu Zhan and the others, seeing Su Qi emerge from the rest chamber, took a deep breath, steeled their gaze, prepared to fight to the death.
They stood quietly, seemingly awaiting Su Qi’s final arrangements.
Yet Su Qi ignored their resolute looks and slowly spoke: "Drive the ship a hundred miles forward, I’ll hold them off." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Saying this, he walked alone toward the ship’s hatch.
This action stunned Lu Zhan’s group.
What.
What’s this about?
Are you... planning to face those surging eerie creatures behind alone!?
As this thought crossed their minds, even their thoughts seemed to pause; such a scene was beyond their expectations.
