51: Official forces, the solution to the crisis!

The pitch-black underground garage was illuminated by a fierce Explosion.

Everyone looked at the unconscious Number 2 before them, lips slightly parted, yet no one spoke a word.

The atmosphere grew quiet, but not for long.

Lin Xiaorou slowly spoke.

"How... how did you do that!"

"It's a secret!"

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent again. Everyone stared intently at Wang Yunchen, seemingly still unable to grasp the situation.

It wasn't surprising that they were so shocked. Who could have imagined that just moments ago, the Calamity was about to wipe out the entire squad, but the situation immediately reversed simply because of Wang Yunchen's arrival.

Not only did he instantly kill the immensely powerful Calamity created by the Gui Tu Member using a blood sacrifice, but he also immediately arrested Number 2, who had vanished and seized the opportunity to escape the garage.

And this only took a few minutes.

Death had turned into life; this man was responsible for everything!

A few more minutes passed. Having previous experience, Lin Xiaorou finally recovered her composure.

She struggled to stand up.

She stared intently at Wang Yunchen.

Her lips moved slightly.

"I finally found you!"

Wang Yunchen pretended to cooperate.

"What are you talking about?"

"In this past month, do you know how many messes I've cleaned up for you?"

Wang Yunchen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I'm the one who saved you all, and this is your attitude!"

"I'm going to bite you to death!"

"What?"

Lin Xiaorou suddenly rushed forward, opening her mouth wide toward Wang Yunchen's face, acting as if she wouldn't stop until she had bitten him to death.

"Hey, wait a minute! Although I don't understand what you're trying to do, can we please deal with the crisis outside before discussing these minor matters!"

Lin Xiaorou, who had just rushed up to Wang Yunchen, paused slightly, glared fiercely at Wang Yunchen, took a deep breath, and backed away.

At this point, Qiaoer had nearly finished treating everyone else's injuries. She truly lived up to her role as the squad's only Healing-type Awakened One.

Qiaoer came to Lin Xiaorou's side, and a faint light emanated from her palm, slowly healing Lin Xiaorou's injuries.

Zhou Yaya also slowly stood up, frowning.

"What exactly is happening outside?"

"Outside... in Chi City, many black mists similar to this have appeared. Although we don't know exactly what kind of Calamities they are, the situation is not Optimistic."

All the squad members' eyes narrowed slightly, and they all stood up and rushed toward the outside of the garage.

As soon as they got outside, the squad members' hearts sank. The sight before them was unbelievable.

Before they entered the garage, the air outside was fresh, and the city was at least somewhat normal, but now, smoke was rising everywhere.

The air carried all kinds of foul, fishy odors, and Death Qi was spreading outside in waves.

One after another, black pillar-shaped mists shot straight into the sky, and roars like those of demons seemed to pierce their very souls.

Everyone in the squad looked stunned, and waves of despair spread throughout their hearts.

"What... what exactly... is going on!"

"Captain... do we still have to fight?"

That single sentence expressed the feelings in everyone's hearts: all these Calamities were Calamities summoned by sacrifice!

Their own squad couldn't even handle the Big-Mouthed Calamity from before, so how were they supposed to fight the nearly dozens of different types of Calamities now?

Going out would just be suicide!

Zhou Yaya took a deep breath, looking solemnly at everyone.

"Go! Given the current situation, as long as we resist, we can fight for even a sliver of a chance for the city's residents to survive!"

"Even if it means death!"

The entire squad fell silent, but the constantly clenching fists in their hands showed their resolve.

"We'll die trying!"

"Uh, sorry to interrupt your passionate moment, but... are those people from the Spirit Control Association?"

Zhou Yaya's face suddenly flushed red.

Having her chuunibyou speech interrupted was truly embarrassing!

She gave a dry cough and turned her head to look in Wang Yunchen's direction.

At every location with a Black Mist Circle Formation, sounds of fighting could be heard. Although the fighting hadn't dispersed the black mist, the mist wasn't spreading further either.

"That's... Sister Lin!"

"Sister Lin is here?"

Lin Xiaorou also turned sharply, her eyes brightening slightly.

"That's one of the top ten teams of the Spirit Control Association!"

"They all came!"

"Looking at the situation, it seems the Military Forces have also all come to support us!"

The oppressive atmosphere that had just weighed on everyone was instantly swept away, and their eyes filled with renewed motivation.

"With this many people, I refuse to believe we can't kill them!"

Zhou Yaya spoke passionately!

"Let's go! If we really manage to clear this wave of disaster, I'll treat you all to a fully paid vacation!"

"Awesome! Captain! Don't lie!"

Wang Yunchen watched the motivated team before him, and his expression relaxed.

"Although your strength is weak, I appreciate your fighting spirit."

"However, it's a shame. If you can't instantly kill them in one blow, they will revive again through some means."

"Besides, given your strength, getting there would take a long time, wouldn't it?"

Lin Xiaorou immediately looked dejected.

"Can you please stop being so discouraging? Why do I always feel like you resemble someone else! If you say one more word, I'm seriously going to bite you!"

Wang Yunchen looked embarrassed. He straightened up, returned to his aloof demeanor, and looked at Qiaoer, who was spacing out nearby, giving a mysterious smile.

"I have a plan. Would you like... to hear it?"

...In Chi City, at every location of a Sacrificial Circle Formation, several teams were constantly resisting the Evil Calamities appearing within the formation.

Although their strength was somewhat scattered, they could at least prevent the Calamities from encroaching on the surrounding buildings, keeping them contained within a safe zone.

"Damn it! The whispering of this thing is so annoying! Not only can it not be killed, but it also looks so disgusting!"

The Monster Squad members continuously released their Spiritual Power, their expressions grim.

Although the Calamity's attacks couldn't hit them, their Spiritual Qi was constantly being depleted.

They not only had to resist the Calamity but also the attacks brought by the Gui Tu Members.

If the stalemate continued, once their Spiritual Qi was exhausted, everyone would surely die.

"Let's gather all our strength and instantly kill it with an Explosion!"

"Alright!"

Multi-colored Spiritual Qi continuously converged and violently shot out, yet it only managed to destroy half of the Calamity's body.

In just a moment, the mist from the circle formation gathered, and the Calamity's body was restored to its original state.

"What are we supposed to do!"

Everyone had lost confidence, and their hearts were filled with darkness.

This was going to be a prolonged battle—a prolonged battle where exhausting their Spiritual Qi meant death.

Having just been attacked, the Calamity became incredibly enraged. The black mist grew even more violent and rushed toward the Monster Squad!

"Damn it! Captain!"

Seeing the Calamity rushing toward them made everyone feel even worse.

But halfway through its charge, the Calamity suddenly stopped in place.

Countless white mists not only covered the original black mist but also enveloped the massive Calamity.

The scene became incredibly silent.

Everyone looked somewhat astonished.

"What's going on?"

Li Qing frowned tightly. Was this another trick by Return Journey?

But at the reminder of a teammate, he looked around.

The black mists everywhere were being colored white, one after another, and the Calamities were being enveloped, one after another.
