Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 56: The Start of an Anomaly, the Return of the Demonic Calamity! (End)

Early the next morning.

The sun did not rise on time.

At first, everyone thought it was just a cloudy day, with a faint light still visible in the east, allowing them to see things with some difficulty.

But as time passed, the faint light in the east grew darker and darker, until it completely disappeared, plunging the entire world into darkness once again. It was at this moment that everyone finally realized that something was wrong.

As survivors of the first demonic calamity, the sight of this abnormal phenomenon instinctively filled them with fear and unease!

They could never forget the abnormal scene that occurred ten days ago when the demonic calamity descended.

Although there were no thunder and lightning in the sky at the moment, nor a huge black hole swirling above their heads like a vortex, the darkness that enveloped the entire world made many people tremble with fear, causing them to shrink back and hesitate to go out easily.

Liu Zimo stood on the rooftop, looking up at the empty sky.

"It happened earlier this time?"

"And, this is only the second time, the teleportation passage in the sky has already completely disappeared, without a trace!" Liu Zimo muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.

If the first demonic calamity erupted early because the elite demonic beast sacrificed itself in Shangjing City, then what caused it this time?

The teleportation passage, which should have taken half a month to accumulate energy and reopen, why did it open five days earlier this time?

Moreover, in the previous era, the teleportation passage didn't become completely invisible until the fourth demonic calamity descended. What's happening now?

What kind of abnormality has occurred in all of this?

"Master, the sky has turned dark again. Are those demonic beasts coming again?" Ye Feihong, who had been standing by Liu Zimo's side, suddenly looked up at the sky, as if sensing something, and asked in a crisp voice.

Liu Zimo nodded slightly, "Yes, the second wave of demonic beasts is about to arrive. I just don't know how many more people will die in vain this time!"

The first wave of demonic beasts that were teleported over consisted mostly of low-level ordinary demonic beasts and a small number of soldier-level demonic beasts. Ordinary martial artists and ordinary soldiers armed with guns could easily kill them.

But the second wave of demonic beasts that were teleported over consisted mainly of soldier-level demonic beasts, with a few officer-level demonic beasts mixed in. Among them, there were also a considerable number of officer-level demonic beasts and even battalion-level demonic beasts!

Their destructive power and ferocity far surpassed that of the first wave of ordinary demonic beasts.

What's more important is that demonic beasts above the officer level already have the ability to resist ordinary firearms. If ordinary soldiers encounter them, they are almost certain to die.

"A more brutal battle and disaster is about to come!"

"But until now, many cities on Earth have not yet prepared for the battle!"

Liu Zimo sighed softly.

Under his strong intervention, Luozhou City had already established a basic defense line outside the city in advance, and the situation was still optimistic. At least more than 90% of the soldier-level demonic beasts could be stopped outside the city.

But other cities outside of Luozhou might not be so lucky.

If nothing unexpected happens, 99% of the cities in the country will suffer a more intense impact and more severe casualties after the second wave of demonic beasts arrives. Just like the city where Liu Zimo was in the previous era, it became a deserted and dead city under the impact of the second wave of demonic beasts.

The survivors who were hiding in the city would definitely not be as lucky as the first time.

This time, even if they obediently hide indoors, they will still be found by the stronger, more intelligent, and more sensitive demonic beasts.

In this situation, for ordinary human beings, whether they continue to hide or fight alone, it is undoubtedly a path to their own death.

People can only survive by working together, relying on each other, and bravely fighting the enemy.

"But... will Master be okay?" Ye Feihong spoke again, "I saw Master leave early this morning, but he didn't let me go with him."

"Or, should I go find Master now? I can protect his safety!"

A trace of worry and concern appeared on the little girl's face.

It was clear that she liked her Master, who was willing to play with her like a child, and cared about his safety.

"Um..."

Liu Zimo couldn't help but glance at his little disciple. He didn't expect that before he, as the master, could even speak, Xiaofeihong would take the initiative to bring it up.

This girl, could it be that she has awakened some kind of supernatural ability like mind reading?

"If you're worried about the safety of your master, then go and take a look. But you have to do it quietly, don't let your master find out."

Liu Zimo spoke softly:

"If your master really encounters a danger that he can't handle on his own, it's not too late for you to help."

"I know!" Xiaofeihong said matter-of-factly: "Just like when Master used to train me and Sister Si Si, I would only watch from a distance and not intervene until it's dangerous!"

"I also think that Master is really too weak now. He can't even defeat those big green bulls outside. He must be trained properly!"

The corner of Liu Zimo's mouth twitched.

Fortunately, Xiaofeihong didn't say these words in front of her father, otherwise, being despised by such a three-year-old child would be too embarrassing for her father, who always cared about his face.

Although the little girl was speaking the truth, the truth doesn't always sound pleasant, right?

"Girl, it's enough for you to understand these things in your heart. There's no need to say them so clearly, you know?"

Seeing the little girl looking confused, Liu Zimo knew that these principles were too profound for a three-year-old child, no matter how talented and intelligent she was.

Even though the little girl was gifted and precocious, she still lacked a lot when it came to understanding human affairs, which required time and experience to accumulate little by little.

"Never mind, you just follow your master these two days. Do whatever you want, everything will be done according to your will."

"I understand, Master. I'll go find my master now! Goodbye, Master!"

With a happy nod, Xiaofeihong said goodbye to Liu Zimo and leaped down from the residential building. After a few flashes, she disappeared into the vast night.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo withdrew his gaze and also flew down the stairs, appearing with his little nephew and younger brother at the military base in the DC area.

"Spread the word to the whole army, the second wave of demonic calamity is coming, prepare for battle!"

A thought swept through, and Liang Luo, Zhou Yiren, and others all heard Liu Zimo's command.

Everyone's spirits trembled, and they responded in unison.

Without telephone communication, they could still use traditional methods such as smoke signals, flag signals, and drums to relay information.

In just a few minutes, they transmitted this command to the various major camps and local forces under their jurisdiction.

This is the advantage of a unified city. Everyone follows the same command system, which ensures that the same order spreads throughout the city in the shortest possible time.

No longer like before, where everyone did their own thing and there was no way to achieve unified and coordinated operations.

"Roar~!"

A few minutes later, a shocking beast roar came from the void, and the whole earth kept trembling in this roar.

Then, it seemed that the existing monsters on the earth received some kind of command. All the beasts roared together and madly attacked the nearest cities, tearing and biting any human they saw.

At the same time, a large number of monsters began to descend from the sky.

Thump! Thump!

There were sounds of heavy objects landing and the roars of monsters everywhere.

The people in the camp changed their colors at the same time, drawing their guns or swords from their waists and rushing out of their rooms to engage in fierce battles with the monsters that landed nearby.

Liu Zimo pushed his little nephew and younger brother to Yang Sisi and the three internal guards beside her, instructing them to take care of them. He himself flew up, suspended in the air above the city center, watching over the situation.

Once he discovered high-level monsters or illusion beasts among the beast groups, Liu Zimo would quickly take action and kill them in the first place.

After all, he was only one person, even though his strength had reached the level of a grandmaster, he couldn't eliminate all the monsters in the city in one fell swoop.

He could only patrol the entire city, taking the lead in killing the most threatening high-level monsters, to prevent their existence from causing greater casualties to the warriors and martial artists below.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

This was the most common way to fight against the beast tide, and it was also the most familiar way of fighting for Liu Zimo in the past thirty years.

However, in the past, he was just a soldier, only able to fight against low-level monsters.

But now, he had become a guardian like a grandmaster or a martial saint, watching over the entire city and killing high-level monsters.
