No one knew what would have happened if Zhang Xiaoqiang had brought his team to the United States. Flender did not die, so he was even more fearless. He took the initiative to launch an even bigger attack on the humans. Although they lost a large number of Kraya, which caused the Seafolk's advance to be disjointed, the humans did not take this opportunity. Instead, they thought that they had more time. Only when they found out the secret of Flender's immortality did they realize that all their efforts were in vain.
The humans were still pushed back by the Seafolk's attack. Countless survivors were captured by the Seafolk, but Flender did not kill them like before. Instead, he selected a few people with status to establish a new organization called Order. The idea of this organization was that humans and the Seafolk would coexist. They would no longer be enemies, but a cooperative relationship. The captured humans would be placed in the reserved area, and they would use captured resources or dead mutated beasts to support these humans. After the humans escaped the disaster and survived the initial panic, they started a new life under Flender's Order.
Flender's Order was also a religious Order. All humans had to worship something called the Sacred Source. As long as they could pray to the Sacred Source like they prayed to God, they would receive a superior living environment, various resources, vehicles, food, and medical supplies. When these things were continuously sent to them, many humans started to doubt whether the Seafolk's invasion was really that scary.
In Flender's sophistry, it was the humans who provoked the Seafolk first. First, it was the New Era that used earthquake bombs against the Seafolk, and then it was the United States that used nuclear bombs. There were photos as proof, which made the captured humans think differently. In addition, Flender had a large number of Blood Seeds in his hands. Any disobedient humans would be watered with Blood Flower, which would produce precious Blood Seeds for the obedient humans to use. Thus, the unstable elements within the human race were cleansed. All the humans united and obeyed the Seafolk in the shortest time possible, as long as they could continue to live such a superior life.
In the reserved area, all social classes had disappeared. Humans only had one identity, and that was believers. Flender did not need priests, priests, or bishops. He only needed humans to pray. There were no doctrines, no philosophical stories, and he could get everything he dreamed of just by praying day after day. During the conquest of the Seafolk, more and more humans arrived at the reserved area in all kinds of vehicles. They became members of the new generation, and they wanted to pray to the so-called Holy Origin in exchange for a chance to live.
In the reserved area, the lives of the people were rich. An endless stream of red algae was sent to the humans by the Seafolk. Hundreds and thousands of vehicles entered the cities that were cleared out by the Seafolk to collect the resources in the cities. Under such a cycle, many humans took the initiative to stand on the side of the Seafolk and serve Flender. When the news of the reserved area spread to the humans, the deadlock between the humans and the Seafolk was broken.
Every day, hundreds and thousands of soldiers who were forced to join the army laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Seafolk, hoping to get a chance to enter the reserved area. The Americas were changing in an uncontrollable direction due to this new form of warfare. However, the main enemy of the Genesis had shifted from the Seafolk to the Holy Son of the Temple. They sent a large number of combat troops to officially declare war on the Temple. For a time, the war between the three sides was complicated. The invading Seafolk fought against South America and North America at the same time, while North America fought against the Seafolk and South America. Even so, no one paid attention to the situation in Australia on the other side of the earth.
Before the invasion of the Seafolk, Zhang Xiaoqiang had anticipated the difficulty of this war. He had felt desperate and wanted to escape, not to escape from the battle, but to escape from the possible casualties. After he met Elson, under Elson's encouragement, he more or less felt a sense of destiny, as if he was really born to save the world. This feeling had a faint influence on his heart. After solving the red algae problem in the Sea of Japan, he monopolized all the red algae resources and was brought to Australia by Yuan Fei. Then, he received Regal's goodwill and received a large amount of technology. He used Australia as the frontline to resist the Seafolk, and by a freak combination of factors, he obtained the whole of Australia, which doubled the power of the revival of China.
With the prospect of everything going smoothly for him, Russia, England, the New Era, and the United States fell one after another, which made his confidence extremely inflated. However, when he learned of the Seafolk's ferocious attack, for the sake of the lives of the three million survivors, he could not find a solution even after racking his brains. The huge gap made him doubt himself. He wondered if he was really as great as he thought he was.
Or was it that he was just an ordinary person, and that it was not ability but luck that allowed him to get to where he was today?
After talking to Kozelle, Zhang Xiaoqiang also wanted to pull himself together, but under the attack of the Seafolk, he could not resist with all his strength. Every day, there were large reports of casualties, and every day, there were countless lists of material losses. It was as if he could see the row after row of casualties soaked in blood. More than a thousand Level 5 mutated beasts had gathered all the top mutated beasts in the world. For a month, these mutated beasts had led countless beasts into the heart of Australia.
Even if there were more than a thousand Level 5 mutated beasts scattered across the vast land, it was still extremely difficult to kill them. Zhang Xiaoqiang brought Zhuo Mingyue, Meow, Ma Fei, Sword Slash, and Blood Phoenix to attack again and again, but he could not kill them every time. Even Emil, who was only twelve years old but was stronger than Ma Fei, brought the Iron Curtain God and the Dark God to help, but it was all in vain. The Iron Curtain God, who was once ranked third, had voluntarily entered the battlefield under the threat of the Seafolk. On the third day, he was injured by a Six-Armed Lamia, and it was impossible for him to move freely for at least three months.
Tie Er was not the only one who was injured. All the super Evolvers who attacked were injured. Blood Phoenix, who was fighting like a mad tiger against the Seafolk, had already lost three bodies. No one knew what the Blood Phoenix's true form was, but without a body, it was just a mass of blood. Its greatest ability was not to control zombies, but to control blood. It was supposed to be humanity's greatest enemy, but because of a very ordinary and somewhat vain girl, it stood on the same side as humanity to fight against the Seafolk. Although the doctors had guessed that the Blood Phoenix was actually the creature closest to the origin of zombies, because the environment of the zombie virus was blood. Whether it was human blood or the blood of the Seafolk, they were all nourishment for the Blood Phoenix. The Blood Phoenix was born with the potential to become the King of Zombies.
That was why Xue Feng had an undying body. However, there was a limit to his undying body. Every time he changed his body, he would use up a portion of his energy. Losing three bodies in a month had caused his combat time to decrease rapidly. However, Xue Feng had done his part. He had lost a million Type-2 zombies, all Type-3 zombies, and less than a third of Type-4 zombies. The three S5s and two D5s that he had tried so hard to create had also been destroyed.
One hundred thousand soldiers were injured or killed, and two hundred thousand soldiers would be killed in the near future. Not many Australian survivors had evacuated. They had tried to increase the transport capacity to twenty thousand people per day, but they had only sent away six hundred thousand people per month. These six hundred thousand people were all children and women, but there were still more children and women who could not wait to be evacuated and were caught up by the Seafolk.
The army had suffered heavy casualties, but the number of survivors was double that of the army. Most of the time, they could do nothing but stand in the command center and watch the children being torn apart by the Seafolk on the screen. Many staff officers could not bear the helplessness and broke down. Some even pulled out their guns and pulled the trigger on the spot. The blood and corpses on the floor of the command center had been cleaned up, but the blood in the hearts of the people could not be washed away.
The people below could break down, they could commit suicide, but Zhang Xiao Qiang and his generals could not. They had to constantly weigh the value of the people that needed to be saved, and they had to choose between giving up one life after another. No one cared about what was going on in America, and no one cared about what was going on in China. All they cared about was what was right in front of them. They could not waste a single minute or second. Perhaps a casual order could save hundreds or even thousands of people.
The women and children were waiting to be evacuated. The daily casualty reports made all the men despair. They knew that they had no chance to leave. Although they had made great contributions to the resistance against the Seafolk, they had to pick up weapons and train under the ruthless guns of the army. They had to fight for one more month for the remaining women and children. After one month, the rest of the women and children would be evacuated.
Not everyone was noble, and not everyone could stay calm under great pressure. Many men tried everything they could to sneak onto the plane, including self-mutilation, kidnapping, blackmailing, putting on makeup, and even rioting. They had tried everything they could think of. However, in Ishihara's cold eyes, they were all hung on the streetlights of the airport, emitting the stench of corpses. Sometimes, Ishihara did not even need evidence or reason. All he needed was a glance or a careless action to kill a potential threat.
The women and children cried as they watched the bodies of their husbands and fathers being carried onto the plane. Before they boarded the plane, many of the women grabbed their men and knelt down in front of the soldiers, begging them to board the plane with them. They did not want their children to lose their fathers. The pain of losing a family member once was enough to make them feel sad for the rest of their lives. However, the patrolling soldiers of China were like the most vicious demons. Every time a woman begged for mercy, they would point their guns at the man's forehead. After the countdown of ten seconds, the bullets would be fired at the father's forehead. If they did not want to see their husband, the father of their children, die in front of them, the women had to let go of their hands. It was because of their coldness that no man was allowed to sneak onto the plane. However, behind this coldness were countless blood letters asking them to go to the frontline. The soldiers would rather fight against the Seafolk than to harm humans.
Tens of thousands of women were transported to China. Ironically, on the return flight, there were tens of thousands of zombies. The zombies in Australia were almost wiped out. In order to make up for the loss of manpower, they could only fly the zombies from China. They were the first batch of zombies to fly into the sky, creating a spectacle at the airport. On one side were the women and children who were about to board the plane, and on the other side, there was only one zombie, like an elite army that had stepped off the plane. They formed two parallel lines that would never cross.
