163: Difficult battle situation

"Chessboard..."

Looking at the item the System gave him, Luo Lei's eyes showed solemnity.

"Just this small piece of Chessboard, as long as one method within it is comprehended, the more than five million people in the North District can be saved!"

Clearly.

The System's introduction to this Chessboard was extremely shocking, even to Luo Lei, who was a King.

The end of power is truly far beyond a King!

"It is estimated that the Zombies will break through the City wall in another 10 hours. If the Host wants to save the North District, you can start comprehending as soon as possible."

Ye Tian's words pulled Luo Lei's thoughts back.

"Ten hours..."

Not daring to delay, Luo Lei sat down cross-legged on the top of this tall building.

A square Chessboard, without any chess pieces, was placed before him.

What would he comprehend from the Dao?

Ye Tian was not clear either.

The Heaven and Earth Chessboard could be seen as a piece of paper.

And what the person in enlightenment draws on the paper is uncertain.

Luo Lei only had ten hours.

Actually, Ye Tian had never thought that Luo Lei could successfully enlighten.

Even though he was the only King in Human history, this was still the case.

He was not yet qualified to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Chessboard!

Moreover, the time was only ten hours.

In those Cultivation Worlds where the time rhythm is extremely slow, this little time is just enough for a yawn; there wouldn't even be a hint of comprehending the Dao.

Then... why did Ye Tian give the Chessboard to Luo Lei to comprehend?

Wouldn't this seem contradictory?

The reason is... bait, Luo Lei is the bait.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, above the Nine Heavens, was the supreme existence that stood in the hearts of all life forms on Earth.

And above that supreme existence was the Heavenly Dao of this World!

What the Heavenly Dao favors is the Son of Destiny.

If a Son of Destiny strongly desires to achieve something, the Heavenly Dao cannot sit idly by.

In other words, what Ye Tian wanted to ambush was the Heavenly Dao of this World.

Under the pressure of the five million lives in the North District, Luo Lei's desire to comprehend would definitely be extremely urgent.

At this time, if the Heavenly Dao's will senses something, it will definitely intervene afterwards. This way, the success of comprehending the method will be easier to talk about.

Like those protagonists, when cultivating cultivation methods, they often make progress or break through Bottlenecks at the last moment.

It's hard not to think if the Heavenly Dao is secretly helping.

Of course, whether the Heavenly Dao will care is also based on the premise of a Son of Destiny.

After the incident with the Dawn Organization, Luo Lei, who possessed 35% of the destiny value, could actually be considered the second protagonist of this World.

...

The City wall of the North District.

As the Army joined in batches, this place had already become the front line of the battle!

The people within the City could clearly hear large areas of booming sounds erupting outside the City, as well as the bloody roars of the Zombies!

What is a battlefield?

A battlefield is just another name for purgatory!

Night was falling.

In the dim sky, under the dark clouds.

Fighter jets were dropping bombs one after another!

With every bomb explosion, large numbers of Zombies would be scattered in the intense firelight.

Currently, it seems.

Human military weapons seem to be gaining the upper hand.

But.

As a gigantic Pterodactyl, contaminated by the Zombie virus, appeared on the misty horizon, the situation in the sky rapidly worsened!

The gigantic Pterodactyl was like a dark sharp sword.

It slammed into the fighter jet formation with its steel-like body!

"Boom boom boom..."

Fighter jets exploded like fireworks, blooming in the sky.

In the City.

Most of the citizens, who were originally excited, were silenced after seeing the tragic scene in the sky.

The battle outside the City seemed to have exceeded their original imagination.

"Warning, a fifth-order Zombie Pterodactyl has appeared, the air combat force please retreat in time!"

Retreat in time, that's right, this type of creature, equivalent to Human Diamond level, is simply not something their air force can resist with some technological thermal weapons!

"Command, have our Diamond level Martial Artists not arrived yet?"

"High-level Zombies are continuously appearing in the Zombie horde, we are struggling."

The Army on the City wall, including the Army in the sky, reacted in this way.

If no one stopped those high-level Zombies, the battle situation would definitely take a sharp turn for the worse.

In the military command center, a white-haired, overweight Old Man listened to the reports from these Soldiers, the helplessness in his eyes was intense.

Those Diamond Martial Artists had all left, only he, the second-in-command of the military region, knew this.

Sending those Soldiers out to fight was his order.

The entire defense operation of the North District was almost entirely commanded by him alone.

And the further time went on, the more he realized that it was simply impossible for the North District to overcome this Jie!

He had contacted other Base Cities.

Central District, Southwest District... and so on.

He received no information, let alone thought that they would lend a helping hand to save them.

Zheng Xun understood that they had been abandoned!

Every time he thought of this, he felt that what he was doing was completely meaningless!

"It would be better to let them go back earlier and spend time with their families in the final moments."

It was at this moment of inner sorrow that a Man's voice suddenly appeared behind Zheng Xun: "Perhaps, you can try to find some reinforcements."

This voice caused the white-haired Old Man to turn around abruptly.

What came into his eyes was a young man dressed casually, as if he had walked out of a comic book.

"You are..."

"My name is Ye Tian." Ye Tian extended his hand.

The other party was somewhat wary: "How did you get in?!"

"I walked in."

Zheng Xun: ...

Under a moment of serious scrutiny, Zheng Xun said somewhat sternly: "What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Just a reminder, since you can't find reinforcements from other Base Cities, why not look within the North District."

"Some of the top combat forces among the civilians should give you a surprise."

"Civilians?" Zheng Xun frowned: "Thank you for your suggestion, but you probably don't understand what kind of riot will be triggered once the situation outside the City is known to all the civilians in the City."

"How will you know the subsequent situation if you don't try?" Ye Tian did not use skills like manipulation, but said calmly: "Besides, the situation can't get any worse, right?"

These words caused Zheng Xun to hold his breath.

That's right, the City is almost about to be destroyed, the situation can't get any worse, right?!

If it's really as the young man in front of him said, and there are indeed top combat forces among the civilians, the situation really has a possibility of regaining balance!

Thinking this, Zheng Xun looked up...

He suddenly realized that Ye Tian had left.

In the quiet command room, the Old Man looked at the silent surroundings, and a layer of goosebumps rose.

Nine o'clock at night.

The battle situation outside the City had become extremely severe.

The bodies of the Zombies, near the City wall, had already densely covered a large area!

However, even with such a large number of Zombie bodies, compared to the entire Zombie horde, it was only a small portion of the losses.

The Zombies behind became more and more frantic as the sky darkened.

And the Soldiers on the City wall were already physically and mentally exhausted after several shifts.

Some Soldiers chewing on dry rations even vomited directly, and their coughs were tinged with blood!

This is an adverse reaction from a large amount of radiation entering the body.

The Zombies from the Old World, their threat is definitely not just their poisonous fangs!

Every Zombie can actually be said to be a radiation source.

The Zombie bodies below the City wall were constantly affecting the physical condition of the Soldiers.
