110: Traitor!
The battle between the two grew increasingly frantic.
Or rather, Ye Su's combat grew increasingly violent.
Now Ye Su was out for the kill, while the Blood Jiao held its ground stubbornly.
If one were to look at it from a different perspective...
Ye Su looked more like a villain!
As the black aura permeated the air, almost every strike of Ye Su's long saber shattered the scales on the Blood Jiao's body, carving out a wound.
Crimson, toxin-laced blood sprayed out, poisoning an unknown number of sea monsters.
The Blood Jiao was already in a precarious state.
But the vitality of a King-level Lifeform was exaggeratedly high.
It could withstand such massive depletion from Ye Su.
And the Blood Jiao's massive body was highly resistant to its wounds!
Over on the battlefield...
As time passed, it gradually became more tragic.
Nanwan Park was still manageable.
Those who came were all elites, all Professionals of the Droplet Realm.
The battle in the Capital Region was what could truly be called terrifying.
The Rain Water flowing on the ground was entirely blood, or rather, the proportion of blood mixed in had already surpassed the accumulation of Rain Water.
To say nothing of the severed limbs and broken arms.
Over at the fire-line, the corpses of sea monsters were piled up like mountains.
Every explosion brought up a boundless mist of blood!
Within the Professional front line...
The battle had reached a fever pitch.
It was extremely intense.
The sea monsters that crossed the fire-line could only be hacked to death strike by strike by the Professionals.
Even relying on urban warfare, countless people being injured had become the norm!
As time went on...
Casualties would show an exponential upward trend!
--- "Results show that mushroom eggs remain the best weapon for this kind of war."
At a high-level meeting in the Imperial Capital, the Think Tank reached a conclusion;
"On the Lighthouse side, the sea monsters are gradually retreating; their sea monster war is about to come to a close."
"But, our side considers racial factors."
"Since the battle in the Pacific Ocean, our side discovered that the growth of sea monster intelligence is greatly related to radiation, so what can be considered for this sea monster war is;"
"The sea monsters' true demand is: mushroom eggs!"
"Ultimately, our side suggests: unless the situation is critical, never use mushroom eggs."
The Think Tank's report concluded.
But the high-level officials were completely silent.
It was very unfair!
The Lighthouse side threw them directly; after throwing the mushroom eggs, the consequences of the sea monsters growing later would be paid for by the whole world.
Whereas their own side didn't throw them, in order to prevent the sea monsters from developing so quickly and to better resist them later.
But...
If that were the case, the sea monsters' offensive wouldn't stop.
"Damn it, why are we always the ones getting the short end of the stick!"
A military bigwig cursed indignantly;
"Just throw them, who cares about them!"
"At the joint meeting, all the countries in the world said that we must unite in the face of this Professional mutation."
"But is this how we unite?"
Unity comes with a price!
The current situation clearly shows that;
Whoever is the honest person is the one who suffers!
At this moment in Great Xia, whether it was the soldiers or the Professionals, their casualty numbers had begun to tick up.
In fact, they would tick faster and faster later on!
One must know that these vital forces were Great Xia's true foundation!
If land is lost, it can be taken back; if people are gone, they are truly gone!
"3 minutes!"
"If there are still no results from Ye Su's side in 3 minutes, we will throw the mushroom eggs directly!"
The leader made the final decision.
Throw!
That was basically throwing in the towel; the sea monsters had won this war they started.
Great Xia didn't want it to be like this.
But it was too much.
It was agreed that for the continuation of human civilization, everyone should unite and resist.
And the result?
Everyone is trying to preserve their own strength, watching others suffer, right?
Fine.
Then let's play it this way!
Human Traitors are even more loathsome than the enemy!
--- "Captain Ye, three minutes. The higher-ups will throw the mushroom in three minutes!"
Mo Xiaoyu's voice rang in Ye Su's ear.
The crushing weight of the situation.
It had to be done!
Currently, these Professionals of Great Xia were all seeds.
Especially this group that had undergone Awakening in the first batch of Spring Rain; they were the mainstays among the Professionals.
It was too disadvantageous to fight head-on against the endless sea monsters like this.
A step back is a step back.
Consider it a strategic retreat!
"I understand!"
Ye Su responded.
'Three minutes, I should be able to kill the opponent!'
'Once the King-level Lifeform dies, the sea monsters' offensive will immediately become a disorganized mess!'
Ye Su's strikes became even heavier.
But...
Shhh!!
Suddenly, a sharp howl rang out.
Above the distant sea surface.
A huge wave surged directly toward them.
Within that giant wave, Ye Su could clearly see another figure.
A figure without legs!
The giant wave crashed down.
It rushed into Nanwan Park, and as the wave slightly dissipated...
Facing the scene before him, Ye Su couldn't help but have his pupils shrink.
Atop the Blood Jiao's head, a merman appeared!
It was hard to describe the appearance of this merman.
It had absolutely nothing to do with the image of mermen or mermaids in human literature.
Hideous!
The merman looked like a deep-sea monster fish transformed into a semi-humanoid form, covered in sharp fish spines and bone forks.
Its long tail was at least four or five meters long, and its vertical pupils were filled with wildness and curiosity.
Yes.
The sea monsters' cruelty and brutality had disappeared from it, replaced more by curiosity.
Or rather, a thirst for the knowledge of human civilization!
"You... you've lost! In less than three minutes, the nuclear... nuclear bomb will be launched!"
"No need to fight; after three minutes, we will naturally retreat!"
The merman spoke.
As soon as these words came out...
Ye Su was truly horrified.
"How do you know about the three minutes?"
Ye Su asked directly.
"Someone told me," the merman said, seemingly quite simple, responding to Ye Su's question on the spot.
"Someone... defected to you?" Ye Su asked again.
"Defected? Does that mean working for us? If that's what it means, then yes!" The merman was quite open about it.
Ye Su's whole body relaxed.
Great.
Let it all be destroyed, I'm tired!
There really are fucking Human Traitors!
Defecting to an alien race?
Not surprising.
There are even people who lead the way for aliens.
Humans themselves are an incredibly complex group!
There's a group of people.
They suck up to whoever is strong; it's the norm!
"You are very strong, but for now, you cannot kill us!" said the merman.
In the sea, giant waves kept rising, and mermen appeared one after another.
They all stood behind the Blood Jiao.
And their auras were revealed without any reservation.
King-level Lifeforms!
"You have so many experts, it wouldn't be hard to conquer the land? Why not attack?"
Ye Su asked.
"Land... there isn't much land in this world," the merman responded.
"Besides, there are still two races in the forest; they won't let us come up."
"We only need to get what we want."
"In your human words... we just need to encroach step by step; haste makes waste!"
Humanity is finished!
The wisdom accumulated over countless years is being taught without reservation by Human Traitors behind the scenes!
