Chapter 1970: 【Demon】Squad Su Zhe
Even the most optimistic and confident person couldn't muster a single word of encouragement...
In their hearts, Commander Lin was an invincible symbol, but the gap in momentum between the two sides was simply too vast. Against that tide of enemies, the crimson figure that seemed capable of propping up the heavens was equally insignificant, like an ant.
Zhao Zhengbin stared intently at the screen, his chest heaving, his fingernails digging deep into the flesh of his palms, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.
The entire shelter hall was deathly silent... as if that dark mountain on the screen had already pressed down on everyone's hearts.
【Why are there so many monsters?? There must be at least hundreds of thousands, right?】
【Hundreds of thousands? Just what's visible in the frame is already at least a million! The total number is probably far more than that!】
【God, are all twenty of those gods?? The numerical差距 is so huge, how can they possibly fight?!】
【Where are the other Night Watch? Where have all the other Night Watch gone?!】
【How can Commander Lin possibly hold back this many gods by himself?】
【He can't hold them back. With this number, it's simply impossible to hold them back... Even if he can protect himself, the million people in the shelter are doomed!】
【No matter how powerful Commander Lin is, he can't save everyone...】
【With this deployment, even if all the Night Watch came, they still couldn't win, right?】
【Are we... going to die?】
【When Commander Lin sees this scene... won't he feel despair?】
【I don't know about despair, I just think his back looks so lonely...】
【...】
A stream of bullet comments scrolled across the screen. Su Zhe stared blankly at that crimson figure standing alone before the Cthulhu Faction army, and a wave of despair and bitterness surged in his heart.
There's no hope...
Even if Lin Qiye was only a Chief God, let alone a Supreme God, it was absolutely impossible for him to withstand this many enemies, let alone two Pillar Gods working together... Even if the other Night Watch could arrive at the scene, before this lineup, it would only be a meaningless death.
Su Zhe couldn't bear to watch any longer. In his heart, the outcome was already certain.
He turned and walked silently toward his dormitory...
At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed through the hall, grabbing Su Zhe's shoulders with both hands—it was Zhao Zhengbin!
Zhao Zhengbin's eyes bulged with rage as he shoved Su Zhe against the wall. In Su Zhe's stunned, bewildered gaze, he roared angrily:
"Where... do you think you're going??"
"Back to the dormitory." Su Zhe said bitterly. "It's already beyond saving... We can't win. Even if every Night Watch rushed to the battlefield, there's absolutely no chance of victory."
"So, are you going to run away again?!" Zhao Zhengbin thrust out his hand, pointing at the figure standing alone before the collapsing heavens and earth on the screen, and roared:
"Then what about him? Let him fight alone and die by himself?!"
Zhao Zhengbin's forehead was almost pressed against Su Zhe's face, his roar deafening Su Zhe's eardrums.
The bitterness and helplessness in Su Zhe's heart were ignited by Zhao Zhengbin. He shook off Zhao Zhengbin's hand with a violent twist, glaring back with bloodshot eyes as he roared:
"Then what do you want me to do?! You think we still have a chance?!
I'm a good-for-nothing! Even if I rushed out right now, I couldn't do anything!
Get real, Zhao Zhengbin!! Not everyone can turn the tide like the protagonists in stories! I'm just an ordinary person! A coward who knows fear, who knows how to back down!!"
"Fine! You're afraid of death! I'm not!!"
Before the words even finished, Zhao Zhengbin suddenly yanked the Straight Blade from Su Zhe's waist and rushed toward the shelter exit.
Su Zhe's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately blocked his path. "Are you insane??! What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm going to accompany him!" Zhao Zhengbin tried to shake off Su Zhe's arm, but the latter's palm was like a vise, firmly restraining his body. "Even if death is certain either way, he shouldn't die alone on the battlefield! You don't want to be this Night Watch! I'll be one!!"
"This is Cangnan! He's in Beibin City! As an ordinary person, how do you plan to cross thousands of kilometers?"
"Even if I can't make it to the battlefield, there's always something I can do! If the North falls and those monsters charge to Cangnan, I can at least slash at those monsters before I die! Even if I can only distract one monster's attention for Commander Lin, at least I'll have fought with all my might!"
Hearing these words, Su Zhe froze in place.
In his mind, the scene of Fate Monk giving them their mission in the Commander-in-Chief's office flashed instantly...
"I need to arrange something in the Ancestral God Temple, and those things need someone to escort there..."
Ancestral God Temple...?
Su Zhe seemed to have thought of something, a glimmer appearing in his eyes!
He grabbed Zhao Zhengbin and pulled him back. Zhao Zhengbin, who had always been good at sports and considered himself strong, was like a chick in Su Zhe's hands, completely unable to resist.
"What are you doing?!" Zhao Zhengbin shouted angrily.
Su Zhe directly snatched the Straight Blade from his hand, determination flashing across his face.
"I told you, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up... My stature may not compare to Commander Lin's, but it's certainly taller than yours, an ordinary person. The job of running to their death doesn't fall to you... I need to go out for a while!"
As the words fell, his figure left an afterimage, quickly arriving at the shelter door.
"Let me out."
"I'm sorry, no one is allowed to enter or exit the shelter." The military personnel guarding the door said sternly.
Su Zhe held the Straight Blade in one hand, and with the other, pulled something from his pant leg. A purple cloak was exposed to the air, and he draped it over himself, saying categorically:
"I am a member of the Great Xia Night Watch【Demon】Squad, Su Zhe! I'll say it once more! Let me out!"
This scene immediately drew the attention of others in the hall. When they saw Su Zhe in the purple cloak, their expressions turned to shock!
Especially the few people who had beaten Su Zhe not long ago—they were completely stunned on the spot...
Night Watch??
Special squad?!
Seeing the Straight Blade and the purple cloak, the military personnel hesitated, then snapped back to attention and opened the door for him:
"I'm sorry, please..."
Standing before the open shelter door, Su Zhe looked back at Zhao Zhengbin. A Forbidden Ruins spread beneath his feet, the surrounding air vibrating at high frequency. His form thundered with a sonic boom as it shot forward in an instant!
...
Jialin Pass.
Min Junliang glanced at the livestream, anxiety evident in his expression.
"Is the evacuation prepared?!" he shouted at Wang Mian and Chloe in the distant sky.
"Not yet, it doesn't happen that fast?!" Chloe gritted her teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks. "The target is too large, there are too many people, and there are over a thousand forbidden curses... I still need time!"
"How much longer?"
"Ten minutes... at least ten minutes!"
Min Junliang's expression turned grimly unsightly!
