317: The pressure is really high

Chapter 317: The Pressure is Really Immense

Afterward, the beautiful woman and Cen Yu Nuo turned and left.

Lu Ran and the others continued what they were doing before.

Stepping out of Central Square, the scene was even more tragic.

“It seems the first position to fall was in the East City, and a large number of dead professionals and monster corpses have also gathered here,” Yu Qingcang said, looking around.

Smoke filled the air everywhere.

Only a few people sorrowfully wandered around.

Some couldn't even find the bodies of their relatives and friends!

Of course.

Even if they were found, it was useless; the bodies would quickly be data-decomposed.

At this moment.

Someone saw President Yu and the others.

“President Yu, why are you here?” someone asked.

Soon, more and more people were attracted.

They flocked over.

“Jialong City is a Level 2 main city; the news of the monster siege should have spread quickly, so why is there no news from the Imperial Capital?” Yu Qingcang asked, puzzled.

It was precisely because of this.

That the entire process of the monster siege went unnoticed.

It wasn't until Jialong City was breached and suffered heavy casualties that the news spread.

“It's strange to say, but this monster siege left very little preparation time for professionals, very little!

“Almost as soon as the monster siege signal appeared, monsters started appearing in less than ten minutes!

“At that time, many external professionals in Jialong City couldn't return, or even get the news.”

“A Level 5 difficulty monster siege is still too terrifying.”

“Alas, a natural and man-made disaster, no one wants to see such a thing happen.”

“I just didn't expect such a tragedy to occur before the National War, with so many professionals dying.”

...

At this moment.

One of the professionals shook his head sorrowfully.

He said, “Yes, Level 5 difficulty. My sister died in this battle. She was a healing professional, and she exhausted her last bit of strength, but she couldn't save others, let alone herself.”

As he spoke, tears streamed down the professional's face.

In his arms, he held his sister's body.

Unfortunately, as time passed, his sister's body was also about to be data-decomposed, eventually leaving nothing.

Not even the 'dust to dust, ashes to ashes' before data-decomposition could be achieved!

Yu Qingcang opened his mouth. As the President of the Tiandao Alliance, he wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but the words caught in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

How could he comfort them?

There was no way to comfort them!

In this situation, anything said would be nonsense!

Liu Xinxin and the others also sighed, their faces growing increasingly grim.

Then.

They suddenly turned their heads, all looking at Lu Ran.

Although they didn't speak, at this moment, Lu Ran felt an immense pressure bearing down on him!

This was the first time Lu Ran felt a little nervous, worried that his Netherworld Gate wouldn't be able to achieve what everyone hoped for.

Looking at the devastation around him, Jialong City was dilapidated as if it had gone through a war.

Lu Ran gritted his teeth tightly.

He nodded and said, “I'll try.”

Upon hearing this.

The professional from earlier shook his head and said, “The monster siege is over. I know National Scholar Lu's strength is formidable; a Level 6 difficulty monster siege is nothing to him. This Level 5 difficulty might only be easily handled and solved by you. Unfortunately, it's over now. Everything is over.”

The professional's words were filled with despair.

Lu Ran said, “Yes, it's over. The dead cannot be resurrected. Even in a data-driven world, resurrection does not exist. If one could control life and death, bring the dead back to life, and mend broken bones, those would be things done by immortals. I naturally cannot do that, but I want to try.”

After speaking, he took a step forward.

The surviving professionals around looked at Lu Ran, puzzled.

They were a bit unclear about what Lu Ran was doing.

Try what?

The monster siege was over, and the living monsters and bosses had also retreated.

What else could you try?

Now that there were heavy casualties, dead was dead. This was the unchangeable will of the world in a data-driven world; no one could alter it!

At the street corner not far away.

Cen Yu Nuo and the beautiful woman, who had already left, stopped.

The beautiful woman looked around and said, “Cen Yuno, this time you've gone a bit too far.”

Cen Yu Nuo didn't turn to look at the beautiful woman.

She just shook her head and said, “I must be cautious. His ability needs to be confirmed. He is the only one among humans, and I don't want any mistakes to occur. Besides... those people can be revived anyway, so what's there to fear? It might take some time to rebuild Jialong City, but compared to so many people being able to live again, that's what's most important.”

The beautiful woman shook her head helplessly.

She said, “But have you ever thought about the impact on Lu Ran if his resurrection ability is exposed, especially such a terrifying and exaggerated resurrection ability?”

Cen Yu Nuo chuckled.

She said, “Of course I know, but it doesn't matter. Lu Ran can't die anyway. A being like him poses no threat among humans. In fact, even we can't kill him.”

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment.

She said, “That's true. And, you should be careful. If Lu Ran attacks you, you might die. This is not a joke.”

Cen Yu Nuo immediately widened her eyes.

She said indignantly, “Lu Ran and I are friends! How could he attack me? He wouldn't! Besides, even if I die, Lu Ran can still revive me.”

The beautiful woman glanced at Cen Yu Nuo and continued, “Forget it, have it your way. Lu Ran's ability is basically fine, but seeing it with my own eyes would be more reassuring. Do you have any plans next?”

Cen Yu Nuo tilted her head, thinking.

She said, “No plans, but the new process of world data-fication is about to update. It will be much more fun than now. I'll go back to the mountains for a trip.”

As the two of them chatted.

Lu Ran had already taken out the sea-stabilizing trident.

At this moment, the nervousness and pressure in Lu Ran's heart were infinitely amplified!

His hand gripping the sea-stabilizing trident trembled slightly.

“It must succeed! It must succeed! It must succeed!” Lu Ran roared three times in his heart to cheer himself on.

At the same time, he slowly looked up.

He looked at the professionals who had gathered around, watching him, but all with puzzled and bewildered expressions.

Lu Ran finally took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Then.

Bang!

He thrust the sea-stabilizing trident into the ground, activating his awakened skill!

Buzz~

Almost in the blink of an eye, the exaggerated Netherworld Gate appeared before everyone.

The terrifyingly exaggerated Netherworld Gate instantly attracted everyone's attention.

However.

They couldn't even immediately recognize that this thing was the Netherworld Gate!

Behind Lu Ran.

Yu Qingcang, Liu Xinxin, Ye Hongyi, Lei Tai, and the others were all extremely nervous at this moment.

Hoping that Lu Ran's ability would indeed be effective for human professionals.
