"Miss, aren't you supposed to be patrolling today? Why are you back so early?"
A round-faced girl wearing a loose military uniform walked in. She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.
"We have to think of a way to leave." Zhang Wenqian grabbed the long sword beside her and smiled bitterly.
The girl was called Little Fan. She was a refugee she met outside. She adopted the girl because she pitied her.
Little Fan's face tightened. She said hatefully, "That old monk is harassing you again!"
Zhang Wenqian shushed her and whispered, "There are people watching outside."
Little Fan hurriedly covered her mouth. After a while, she said carefully, "Miss, let's report to the military."
Zhang Wenqian shook her head. "It's useless. Most of the physical trainers in the southern war zone are from the Longyang Temple. That guy is their senior."
Xiao Fan could not help but say, "Why are these Master Physique Masters the same as the hooligans outside? They can even do things like bully men and take women."
Zhang Wenqian shook her head. "The other physical trainers are all good. Only this old monk practices the Yin Yang Absorption Technique. This technique is in accordance with the Dao of Yin and Yang. Even Lord Dragon Sage praises him. Not only did he not stop it, he even encouraged it. It's said that the Yin Yang Monks don't abstain from meat and vegetables. They need a pair of boys and girls every day."
During this period of time, her physical skills and spiritual realm had improved tremendously. After interacting with the monks of the Longyang Temple, she knew some of the essence of Buddhism's physical skills.
Little Fan couldn't help but shiver. She said, "Miss, let's leave quickly."
Zhang Wenqian nodded. "Okay, we'll think of a way to leave at night."
The two packed their things and waited for the sky to turn dark.
Time passed slowly. The sky gradually darkened. However, it wasn't the usual hazy darkness. Instead, it was as if dark clouds were pressing down. Everything in the world became dull and colorless. It was as if all the light had been expelled. It was heavy and oppressive.
Zhang Wenqian felt that something was wrong. She hurried to the window and stared at the dark sky. It wasn't dark. Instead, it was a large mass of dark clouds covering the sky above the city. She had experienced fierce battles with beasts and instantly knew what these were. These weren't dark clouds at all. They were countless insects!
Seongma Province was destroyed by the nuclear bomb, but the main force of the swarm wasn't affected. Instead, it pushed them to the north.
An ear-piercing air-raid alarm sounded. This sound represented disaster and destruction.
At the next moment, the sound of cannons rang out, and fireballs appeared in the sky. Then, large groups of insect corpses began to fall.
The sound of gunfire was deafening, and countless missiles lit up the night sky of the entire city.
"Miss, what should we do?" Xian Fan's voice was trembling.
Zhang Wenqian took a deep breath and said, "Don't be scared. That's how wars are. Either you die, or I forget. Fission weapons have been deployed here. We can always fight to the death!"
At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky began to press down on the city. The buzzing sound of the insects flapping their wings even drowned out the sound of the cannons.
The formless sound waves swept through the entire city. The people in the city first felt nauseous, then they started to have headaches. The elderly and children with weaker physiques directly covered their heads and rolled on the ground.
Xiao Fan's physique was weak, and he staggered and fell to the ground. His body trembled uncontrollably, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose.
As the insects pressed down, even Zhang Wenqian, as a physical trainer, could not withstand it. She groaned and knelt on the ground with one knee on her sword.
The sound of gunfire stopped, and the city fell into a dead silence. Only the infrasound waves that humans could not hear were raging.
The power of the insect swarm was terrifying. In an instant, the people in the entire city lost the ability to resist. They could not even stand, let alone fire a nuclear bomb.
Sound waves were the most terrifying means of group attack. They ignored all obstacles and could be transmitted as long as there was a medium. Moreover, the denser the medium, the stronger the sound waves. It was even more unbearable for people hiding in solid fortresses.
Toward the end, not only the carbon-based creatures made of flesh and blood, but even some of the buildings and soil were disintegrated by the formless sound waves. They turned into yellow sand, and the entire world seemed to be annihilated.
In the dark clouds formed by the insect swarm in the sky, a behemoth appeared. Its bell-sized eyes coldly looked down at the human city below.
Every life was an independent existence, and they would consciously resist the invasion of other consciousness. However, insect species were different. They did not have much intelligence. Under the link of the evil energy, every member of the insect swarm was the carrier of its consciousness. When gathered together, they could unleash an extremely powerful combat strength. They were born to destroy!
The insect swarm pressed down, and people could already see their specific appearance. They were creatures that looked like locusts. They looked as if they were carved out of coal, pitch-black, gloomy, and incomparably cold.
Under the ultra-powerful sound waves, people had no power to resist at all. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and could only tremble.
"Rumble!"
White light flashed in the sky, and in an instant, the world was immersed in white light. What followed was a huge explosion. A huge hole was blasted in the dark clouds of the insect swarm, and the formless infrasound wave's power was greatly reduced.
The human military had finally used a destructive weapon like a nuclear bomb.
Zhang Wenqian regained control of her body. She gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up. She carried the unconscious Xiao Fan, who was foaming at the mouth, and moved out of the house. The insect swarm came and went without a trace, and the power of the sound waves was too terrifying. The war had ended before it even started.
There were many people like Zhang Wenqian who could move, but everyone had lost the will to resist. That was because the main force of humans against the Direbeasts was still guns and ammunition. The physique masters were only auxiliary. Now that there was no one to control the guns and ammunition, they had already lost. However, they still had to make the insect swarm pay the price!
Nuclear bombs could not only hurt the enemy, but also oneself. Half of the city was turned into ruins, and violent radiation waves swept through everything. Many people who were half dead were completely dead.
The war was incomparably cruel. Fortunately, the center of the nuclear explosion was in the air, and it was a small fission nuclear bomb launched by a cannon. Its power was not too great, and the buildings could effectively resist the shockwave. Many people survived.
Zhang Wenqian was very far away from the center of the explosion. The water body technique she cultivated was extremely good at dissipating the force and diluting the energy, so she did not suffer any serious injuries.
She fled to the underground air-raid shelter with the small sail on her back. Many people had already gathered there, and most of them were generals with strong physiques.
One of them was a tall monk with a string of prayer beads around his neck. It was the Yin Yang Monk. He was completely unaffected by the cruel war on the ground. He squinted his eyes when he saw them and said with a smile, "It's good that Little Shi is fine."
Zhang Wenqian did not dare to talk to him. She retreated to a corner and put down the small sail on her back. She used the pure water energy to dilute the radiation.
The Yin Yang Monk's heart burned even more when he saw the rippling blue light and the gentle water energy being emitted. The Yin Yang Complement technique he cultivated required such an elemental physique the most. Furthermore, the physique masters who received the water energy would become as soft and tender as water. They were the best cauldrons.
"Senior Brother, what should we do next?"
A general with a full beard asked.
The Yin Yang Monk shifted his gaze and said slowly, "The swarm is unstoppable. The fission weapons can only delay their reproduction speed. It won't be long before another swarm army appears. However, we don't need to worry. These creatures are the enemy of all species. Very soon, there will be powerful beasts coming to keep them in check."
As he spoke, he slowly walked to Zhang Wenqian's side and said in a seemingly amiable manner, "Miss Zhang, do you need help?"
Zhang Wenqian vigilantly stood in front of Little Sail and coldly refused, "No need."
The Yin Yang Monk laughed sinisterly, "Hehe, Miss Zhang, don't treat me like an outsider. The two of you are connected by a thread. This thread is fate. Do you understand fate?
It means that you cannot go against it. "
Zhang Wenqian ignored him. She carefully hugged Little Sail and moved to a corner. There were so many people here. This old pervert did not dare to use force.
As expected, the Yin Yang Monk did not follow them. He looked around at the dejected crowd and said, "Everyone, there is no need to be dejected. My master has already gone to welcome the Thunder Saint. With the two of them working together, they will definitely be able to exterminate the swarm!"
Everyone's expressions relaxed slightly. They all said, "That's right. This Thunder Saint is also proficient in sound wave techniques. With a wave of his hand, there will be thunder accompanying him. It is said that a thunderclap can shatter a person's liver and gallbladder."
In the corner, Zhang Wenqian's expression changed. She thought to herself, "Is it him?"
