219: Chapter 219 All members of Tiangong-1 sit down at the table

Black seawater lashed against the ice armor.

Crack.

A thin crack appeared on the outer wall beneath Su Muxue's feet.

An A-rank Sea Ghost Jonin sprinted along the wall, the black water surging from its cuffs forming a chain of blades, slashing repeatedly at her neck.

Su Muxue raised a finger.

"Absolute Zero."

The blade chain froze.

The Jonin kicked the ice layer to shards, thrusting its short blade through the ice mist.

Su Muxue dodged to the side, a white scratch appearing on the edge of her lens from the blade's wind.

Downstairs.

At the breach in the medical area, Iron Arm King used his body to block the gap.

Three short blades were stabbed into his shoulders and back.

He looked down, then said earnestly, "Shadow Brother said the door cannot be opened."

Then he brought his arms together.

Crack.

The Sea Ghost rushing at the very front had its sternum crushed by his embrace.

Green light flickered on Xia Qingqiu's hands.

"Gu Nian, finish it off."

Gu Nian's hand holding the blade was still trembling, but she did not retreat.

Third-floor command room.

The large screen was entirely red.

Su Xiaonuan stood in front of the screen, her fingers pressing against the edge of her tablet.

Jiang Xiaowan stood beside her, holding her waist, her expression also darkening.

"The Outer Circle is about to explode."

Su Xiaonuan said softly, "Everyone, hold your positions."

On the outer wall.

The Sea Ghost leader raised its hand.

"Disperse and take them out one by one."

Dozens of ninjas immediately abandoned the assault on the Inner Circle and turned to swarm the granary, armory, and residential area.

Demolition talismans were stuck to the walls.

Boom!

The crowd screamed and rushed toward the Middle Circle gate.

"Housekeeper Su is going to abandon us!"

"Open the door!"

"The children are still outside!"

Several Grey-Badge survivors clutched their children and squeezed to the front of the gate, crying heart-rendingly.

Behind them, three Sea Ghosts kept their heads down, hiding in the crowd.

Short blades were hidden in their sleeves.

Just waiting for the door to open.

Zhou Heng and his men guarded the entrance.

"Get down!"

"Whoever rushes the gate dies!"

Someone shouted, "Do you dare to shoot? Lin Yuan is already dead!"

Zhou Heng raised his muzzle.

He didn't pull the trigger.

The crowd was too dense.

Over the communication, Liu Qing's voice was urgent: "Housekeeper Su, the Middle Circle gate is under critical pressure. If they keep pushing, it will trigger the anti-collision electric lock."

Jiang Xiaowan whispered, "If we open the door, we lose the defense; if we don't, we lose the people's hearts."

Su Xiaonuan did not respond.

She pressed the broadcast button.

All the speakers in the Outer Circle lit up simultaneously.

"I am Su Xiaonuan."

The voice was soft.

But every corner could hear it.

"Follow the drill positions and retreat to the green fluorescent lines on the ground."

"Those who cross the line will be considered rebels."

The crowd paused.

The next second, green lines lit up on the ground.

Those were the pre-drawn evacuation paths.

Immediately after, the hidden roller shutters in each zone rose.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The crowd was sliced into seven segments.

The survivors holding children were separated into the safe zone by the shutters.

The Sea Ghosts hidden in the crowd were trapped between two doors.

Su Xiaonuan continued, "Captain Zhou, clear out the rebels."

Zhou Heng pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The first agitator who crossed the line fell.

The second one tried to run but was pinned to the ground by the patrol team.

Zhou Heng was no saint; he was someone who had truly fought his way out of blood and fire in Zhe City.

Half of the Outer Circle went quiet.

The Sea Ghost leader stood on the wall, seeing this, its eyes darkened.

"Plan B."

The order was given.

A dozen ninjas drilled into the utility tunnels, sticking demolition talismans onto the auxiliary lines and water pipes.

B2 Energy Level.

Tang Qiqi's face turned pale, blood seeping through her bandages.

She pressed her hand onto the conductive ring.

Blue and white arcs crawled all over the console.

"Want to cut my power?"

She bit down on her lollipop.

"Dream on."

Liu Qing took over the backup lines, and three destruction points popped up on the screen.

Feng Qingwu, standing behind, was stunned.

"Housekeeper Su, these locations..."

"You marked them before."

Su Xiaonuan lowered her eyes.

"After CEO Lin left, Qiqi and I circled all the weakest spots."

Jiang Xiaowan took a gentle breath.

Good grief.

Even baiting the hook in advance for fishing.

Su Xiaonuan pressed the second command.

"Initiate the Empty City contingency plan."

Tang Qiqi paused.

Then she grinned.

"Received. Welcome to Tiangong No. 1's large-scale immersive escape room."

The main building's shield was maintained.

The three decoy areas actively lowered their defenses.

Zhou Heng received the order and opened a "gap" leading to the Inner Circle.

The Sea Ghost squad predictably drilled into it.

They passed through an opened iron door and rushed into a corridor.

Red lights flashed ahead.

The gate behind them slammed shut.

Liu Qing pushed up her glasses.

"Automatic machine guns online."

The wall flipped open.

Muzzles poked out.

Rat-tat-tat!

The ninjas hugged the walls to dodge.

But electric arcs lit up on the floor simultaneously.

Tang Qiqi pressed the conductive ring.

"Electric roast refill."

Boom!

Over a dozen Sea Ghosts were electrocuted and fell to their knees.

Jiang Xiaowan watched the areas on the screen gradually turning green, her lips twitching.

"Little secretary, you've really learned to be bad."

Su Xiaonuan said timidly, "I haven't."

She paused.

"It's them who are seeking death."

In the Outer Circle, there was still a squad composed of Chunins; ordinary bullets couldn't do anything to them.

Zhou Heng lacked high-level Espers by his side and was being suppressed.

Several tents were set on fire, and a corner of the granary was smashed.

Suddenly, a burst of golden-red fire ignited in the Outer Circle.

Boom!

Solar fire slammed into the ninja assault line, burning off the flank.

Chu Feng led the people from Jiang University into the battlefield.

He didn't shout any slogans.

He just raised his hand, and another ball of fire slammed into the corner.

"Don't run around!"

"Follow the green lines!"

Chu Feng looked up toward the main building.

"Lin Yuan isn't here."

He brushed back his hair.

"What we owe him, we'll pay back a portion with our lives first."

Su Xiaonuan looked at the map.

"Stand in the position given to you."

"Don't show off."

Chu Feng: "..."

Why does that sound so much like Lin Yuan?

But he still stood there.

The Sea Ghost leader finally realized something was wrong.

The Outer Circle couldn't be breached.

The Middle Circle had become a trap.

They were constantly losing men.

The only opening that could be torn was Su Muxue.

It crushed a B-rank yellow crystal core.

Black seawater surged from behind, coalescing into a giant blade.

Boom!

The giant blade slashed down.

The ice layer beneath Su Muxue cracked.

She took half a step back.

Her shoulder was slashed, and before the blood droplets could fall, they turned into red ice shards.

The Jonin's eyes showed killing intent, both blades struck out, and the black tide wrapped around her wrists.

"You are strong."

It spoke in stiff Chinese.

"But you are not my opponent."

Su Muxue looked at it.

"Comparing crystal cores?"

She pressed her communicator.

"Xiaonuan."

"Is Niannian ready?"

The Sea Ghost leader didn't understand.

It only saw Su Muxue locked by the black tide.

The opportunity had arrived.

Third-floor command room.

Zhou Niannian sat in a corner holding her tablet.

The game Tang Qiqi had downloaded for her was still on the screen.

Su Xiaonuan crouched in front of her, a B-rank yellow crystal core appearing in her hand, and stuffed it into Zhou Niannian's arms.

"Niannian."

"Pause for a second."

Zhou Niannian looked up.

She looked out the window.

There was no panic of a child in her eyes.

The next second.

The world seemed to be pressed on pause.

The black seawater lost its shape and scattered into water droplets on the spot.

The Superpower fluctuation on the Sea Ghost leader was cut off.

The short blade stopped in mid-air.

Its eyes widened.

"Nani?"

Su Muxue's right hand passed through the ice mist.

An ice spike grew from her palm.

Pfft.

The ice spike pierced into its heart.

No extra movements.

No nonsense.

The Sea Ghost leader fell from the wall.

Bang!

It was frozen into a kneeling position by the ice layer, with its forehead facing the main building.

Su Muxue stood on the city wall, expressionless behind her lenses.

The battlefield paused for a moment.

All the Sea Ghosts saw the fall of their leader.

A Chunin took over the command.

"Retreat!"

The ninjas fled into the ruins and snow mist.

But in the shadows of the wilderness, Number Seven raised her head.

The black and red markings on her forehead lit up.

Behind her, fourteen Zombie Girls appeared silently.

Number Seven spoke in a hoarse voice.

"City Patrol Envoy."

The Zombie Girl squad lunged into the ruins.

They didn't touch ordinary survivors.

They only chased low-temperature life signals.

A Sea Ghost had just climbed over a broken wall when its neck was pinned by Number Seven.

Crack.

The corpse was dragged back to the designated location.

Another crawled into the sewer, only to be dragged out by three Zombie Girls a second later, and thrown into the collection area along with its communicator.

Lu Yan's daughter, Lu Xixi, sat beside Su Xiaonuan, chewing on the potato chips Tang Qiqi had given her.

Her body was already much better than it was before the apocalypse.

Sister Xiaonuan promised her that if she completed this mission, she could be rewarded with a tablet just like Zhou Niannian's.

"Red dots remaining, 210."

"132."

"67."

"Zero."

Su Xiaonuan reconnected the broadcast.

"Attention, everyone."

"Register the wounded."

"Liquidate the traitors."

"Those who participated in the defense will be compensated with contribution points."

"The agitators who crossed the line will be handed over to Captain Zhou for handling."

No one in the Outer Circle was making noise anymore.

Jiang Xiaowan looked at her and whispered, "So you were waiting for them to come all along."

Su Xiaonuan lowered her head to organize her tablet.

Her fingertips were still trembling a little.

"Before CEO Lin left, he said."

"The home cannot just wait for him to return."

At the same time, Lin Yuan and Qin Yumo also stood in front of the Jin Mao Tower.
