Chapter 91 Leaping into the Abyss!

Although charging straight in with a missile in hand is indeed quite cool;

However, Wang Jixuan’s landing strategy was very conservative.

As he approached Fort 76, he released the blank missile with both hands, brought his arms together, and flew downwards, using his breath to simulate a bird’s dash. He then adjusted his posture in mid-air and rapidly approached the ground.

Then, he pulled open the flat backpack on his back, and two huge flat balloons burst out with a “pop,” turning into thick parachutes.

He slowed down and drifted through the air toward the ground military camp of the fortress below.

The area below is already in complete chaos.

Wang Jixuan could see waves of troops rushing toward the ventilation ducts and elevators, working hard to remove various weapons and equipment from armored vehicles and artillery emplacements and send them underground.

Zi.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and pressed the button on his earpiece. He was now connected to two channels: one was Zhou Zhengde and Wu Man, and the other was Ling Tong’s supply team.

Sister Wan was speaking quickly:

“…Ling Tong, your mechanical arm data is incorrect. It will take some time to replace the spare mechanical arm. I have prepared it for you at the supply station. Don’t worry, Ling Tong. The large group of Blade Beasts is still in the lower city. The slaughter is only happening on a small scale.”

“About six or seven hundred Blade Beasts have transformed into moths. They are attacking the passages between the middle and upper city, trying to stop the troop transport.”

Ling Tong responded softly, “Yes, I know. There’s no rush. Can you detect Wang Zheng’s data?”

“His position is in the jump, already above the fortress.”

“I’m on my way to support the seventh floor,” Wang Jixuan said immediately. “Don’t worry about me. I just want to save people, not risk my life.”

“Okay, Sister Wan will take care of supporting Wang Zheng. I still have 45 minutes before I can get back to the fortress and help him avoid those psionicists.”

“yes!”

Sister Wan readily agreed, and a small map immediately appeared in the upper left corner of Wang Jixuan’s tactical helmet, showing the approximate layout of the fortress.

The horde of Blade Beasts has reached the forty-seventh floor.

The ‘Moth’ Blade Beast ascended along the fire escape, continuously rushing into the seventh floor.

The data, physical weaknesses, and other information of these Moth Blade Beasts were transmitted to Wang Jixuan’s helmet display screen.

With more than ten meters off the ground, Wang Jixuan unbuckled the parachute belt and stood steadily in front of an elevator.

The elevator, which was about to descend, was stopped by a soldier standing guard nearby.

The soldier pressed the elevator button, glaring and shouting, “Get out here! Can’t you see who’s coming?”

Immediately, a soldier jumped out, and a group of people saluted Wang Jixuan:

“Black Storm!”

“Sir!”

“Hmm,” Master Wang nodded calmly, stepped into the elevator, and the two burly men beside him tried their best to back away.

The elevator doors closed, and the group of more than twenty people descended rapidly towards the sixth floor.

No one dared to speak.

Wang Jixuan heard Zhou Zheng clear his throat through his earpiece: “Ahem, Wang Zheng, there’s something I feel I need to tell you.”

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Jixuan made no attempt to hide from the surrounding soldiers; his voice came from inside his helmet:

“I will keep an eye on the issues concerning the psionicists.”

“No, it’s… Rotten Fish died. Just a few minutes ago, door number six on the thirteenth floor broke down. He helped everyone and perished together with a Blade Beast… Lin Xiong and Lin Yong were injured, and Wei Na was also injured and unconscious. She is already receiving treatment.”

Zhou Zhengde sighed and didn’t say anything more.

“Okay, I understand. Cheer up, the battle has just begun,” Wang Jixuan replied. “I’m going to support the seventh floor.”

“Don’t be too radical. Just do what you are capable of. You yourself are of vital importance to human society.”

“good.”

Ding ding!

The elevator door in front of Wang Jixuan opened, and outside were soldiers assembling in formation. There was also a huge 【6】 on the wall.

The biggest dilemma these soldiers face now is that while they have arrived at the front lines, the weapons and equipment needed to build the fire support lines have not. They can only gather and wait.

A regular rifle is just a ‘weapon used against people’.

Wang Jixuan walked straight to an equipment collection point, and casually assembled the three sections of the spear, placing it diagonally against his back.

When he arrived at the equipment distribution point, he unceremoniously grabbed an armed backpack and stared at the somewhat bewildered quartermaster.

“Bring me a box of high-explosive.”

“Oh…okay! Thank you for your hard work, sir!”

“Um.”

Master Wang gave a brief reply, and once his backpack was filled with egg-sized reinforced high-explosive grenades, he turned and rushed towards the connecting road between the seventh and sixth floors.

No one dared to stop them.

Even the few C-level/D-level psionicists guarding the connecting road were kept under close watch by the soldiers who had received prior orders.

If the psionicists dare to attack the Black Storm, they will be met with a counterattack from the military.

Wang Jixuan crossed the checkpoint and stood at the edge of the winding road, looking down.

The seventh floor is the most unique area in Midtown, with one-third of its area cultivated into large tracts of farmland. This floor is also the lowest point of the light guide channel.

Gunfire could be heard from all directions.

The distribution of psionicists here is also displayed on the helmet’s screen.

Sister Wan has already given her battle plan.

【Priority rescue target nearby: Nursery Center No. 3】.

【Number of Mothblade Beasts: 13】.

The Divine Speed ​​Spell and the Divine Speed ​​Talisman!

Wang Jixuan leaped over the highway railing in one swift step, his body crashing towards the seventh floor. The spear on his back trembled slightly, and the moment he landed, his body shot out along the ground like an arrow.

A team of soldiers immediately received orders from headquarters to drive light armored vehicles in pursuit of Wang Jixuan.

This is a classic tactic of psionicists working together with ordinary soldiers.

Before these soldiers’ light armored vehicles even left the winding road, they witnessed this scene:

Outside the No. 3 Nursery Center, in that golden wheat field, a ‘moth’ blade beast suddenly darted diagonally upwards. A man dressed in black and wearing a black helmet leaped up, his spear flying out of his hand and piercing into the blade beast’s mouth!

The bladed beast crashed down in a parabolic arc. The moment it hit the ground, the long spear, a cold weapon, flew into the air on its own. The spear was wrapped in a layer of blue light and was held by the leaping black storm!

With a vertical slash of the spear, the ‘moth’ blade beast that swept through the air was split in two!

Wang Jixuan touched the fallen corpse of the bladed beast with his toes, using the momentum to rush upwards and into the wall of the No. 3 Infant Home.

These bladed beasts aren’t particularly strong.

The Taoist priest’s gaze was immediately drawn to a scene not far away: two young girls were protecting seven or eight children inside a school bus, while three or four soldiers had already fallen outside the bus.

The ‘moth’ blade beast, its mouthparts stained with blood, stopped devouring the human corpses. It turned to look at the school bus, where two young female teachers were tightly embracing the children inside. All they could do now was close their eyes and pray…

Ping!

The school bus window suddenly shattered.

A female teacher with short hair that reached her ears instinctively opened her eyes and saw a dark shadow rushing from the left and crashing into the bladed beast at great speed.

Actually, it wasn’t a collision; it was because Wang Jixuan was moving too fast that she experienced a visual illusion.

The bladed beast was pierced through the chest by a long spear and then pushed out.

A man wearing a black helmet stopped in front of the school bus and casually opened the door.

“Get out quickly, I’ll take you inside the building.”

…

The No. 3 Nursery has been cleaned up.

The new recommended combat area has been sent to Wang Jixuan by Sister Wan.

Team battles are indeed much better than individual battles, and Wan Jie, with her command skills, psychological counseling abilities, and keen awareness of battlefield information, can certainly provide a huge boost to Ling Tong.

Wang Jixuan took a breath, changed his speed talisman, took out a bag of emergency food supplies—roasted beast meat—from his backpack, attached his spear to his back, and pulled out a few miniature high-explosive grenades.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

In order to sustain the battle, one must conserve one’s mana.

These flying blade beasts look intimidating, but they do have quite a few weaknesses; they’re just basic flying blade beasts.

There are no troublesome mutated blade beasts.

There are no general-level blade beasts.

There were no Terpterosaurs either.

Wang Jixuan’s sprinting figure was as fast as if he were flying close to the ground. Two grenades flew out one after the other. The first one blew open the crystalline membrane on the mouth of the blade beast in front of him, and the second one embedded itself directly into its mouth.

Amidst the roar, Wang Jixuan leaped and dodged, beginning his search for his next target.

He began to hear conversations from both sides through his earphones, which occasionally became a bit chaotic, but overall did not affect his judgment.

On Zhou Zhengde’s side, Wang Jixuan could hear the situation at the fortress.

Dongfang Zhenghong kept issuing orders, but remote command could no longer cover everything; it could only roughly coordinate the various units in the fortress.

The main force of the Blade Beasts has now reached the forty-sixth floor. The advance team of the defense forces is engaged in fierce fighting with the Blade Beasts there. Due to a lack of sufficient heavy firepower, the advance team has suffered heavy casualties.

The psionicists were also fighting, but instead of entering the forty-sixth floor, they were hunting down a swarm of moth-like blade beasts.

This is a very obvious self-preservation-oriented playstyle.

But you can’t say they did nothing.

Master Wang was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but he didn’t want to stoop to the level of these spiritualists. He couldn’t just leave the Blade Beast unattended and turn around to fight them instead.

The aftermath will be settled.

How can we resolve the current calamity?

The conversation between the technician and Dongfang Zhenghong could be heard through the headset.

“The Deep Sea is ready and will arrive at the fortress in about thirty minutes!”

“Commander! A junior admiral-class reactor is approaching the bottom breach! It is expected to reach the breach in thirteen or fourteen minutes!”

“Can we seal the breach in ten minutes?” Dongfang Zhenghong asked in a hoarse voice.

“Theoretically speaking, no, Commander!”

“What are the casualties like in the lower city?”

“The estimated death toll is over 67,600. The Blade Beast horde is surging towards the 46th floor, and half of the lower city has not yet been attacked by the Blade Beasts. A small number of moth-type Blade Beasts rushed into the middle city and have been eliminated by the local security team. The total number of casualties is around 300 to 500. Over 1,200 people have died or been injured on the seventh floor, including 653 children from the orphanage.”

Wang Jixuan was also taken aback by these numbers.

So many people have died or been injured in such a short time?

The lower town is said to have 300,000 people…

He frowned slightly.

To be honest, the Taoist priest didn’t want to risk his life. He had already made a breakthrough in the military, and the low-level magical artifacts he gradually produced had already delighted the military. In the future, he only needed to advance step by step, which would not only allow him to become a rare talent and cultivate in peace under the protection of the military, but also gradually help the people of this world.

Yes, now he just needs to stay safe and sound.

There’s no need to take risks;

There’s no need to spread so-called kindness excessively;

He was a complete stranger to all living beings.

Wang Jixuan stopped at the edge of a wheat field.

The seventh floor is the Fortress Nursery. These wheat fields and green trees are not just food, but also decorations, to ensure that children have a good mental health foundation to face a life of darkness.

Ahead was a black curtain, dotted with starlight lights, and behind it was a thick rock wall;

Behind the path through the wheat field was a fire gate that had been smashed by the Blade Beast.

A line of small characters appeared on the front of Wang Jixuan’s helmet.

【Wan Jie: You’ve deviated from the planned route, Wang Zheng.】

Wang Jixuan suddenly asked, “Sister Wan, I’m about 60% confident I can save these 100,000 people, but if I fail, I might die. Should I go and save them?”

“I think the mysterious technology you possess might save billions of people in the future.”

“You’re right.”

Wang Jixuan glanced at the fire gate, turned around, and ran two steps towards the next area where bladed beasts were active.

He stopped, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to look at the dilapidated gate.

“But Sister Wan, I want to go.”

“My reason tells me I should dissuade you,” Sister Wan said gently, “but you’ve already made your decision, haven’t you? I will provide you with information support until Commander Ling Tong arrives at the fortress.”

Thank you.

Wang Jixuan strode forward, his steps swift and rapid, running wildly ahead.

Sister Wan asked, “Can you tell me why? I’m just curious.”

Wang Jixuan leaped up, dragging his spear and carrying two bags on his back, and rushed into the dark descending passage.

Below, more than a dozen moth-blade beasts were flapping their wings upwards, and at the same time they all looked up.

Brief hang time, free fall.

Wang Jixuan flipped over, gripped his spear, and pounced on the nearest moth-like bladed beast. He had already calculated his descent route in his mind; these bladed beasts were his springboard!

The dimly lit vertical passageway shimmered with a bluish light!

He kept his answer to Sister Wan’s question to himself and did not say it aloud.

Where the heart leads, there lies the Way.

This immortal will become one who is fearless, open, and upright!

Slay the demon!
