Chapter 22: Why Won’t Shield Ghost Help Us

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

To the west of East Lake City was the East Lake. The East Lake merged into the Azure River and finally surged into the East Sea.

The western city wall of East Lake City was built beside the lake and was rarely attacked by demon beasts.

However, this time, a large number of demon beasts appeared in the East Lake. These demon beasts were much higher in level than the demon beasts that attacked the east wall.

The lowest level demon beasts that appeared here were at the First Realm, and the highest level demon beasts even reached the Seventh Realm.

It was the demon beast leader’s skill that blocked Manager Number One’s detection, allowing the hundred thousand demons to quietly approach within a thousand meters of the western city wall.

When they were less than a thousand meters away, Manager Number One finally sensed them and hurriedly radioed for Manager Number Two and the three overseers guarding the eastern wall to rush to the western city wall.

The Germinal Organization also immediately sent out news to get those martial artists who were exploring Third Realm and Fourth Realm mystic realms to return quickly.

After reaching the Third Realm, they were already the elites of the Germinal Organization. If they wanted to be overseers, they could get on the job after passing the assessment. If they did not want to, they would have to take on the role of a “fighter” and explore the mystic realm.

This time, too many demon beasts appeared on the western city wall. A portion of the Third Realm and Fourth Realm martial artists had to be mobilized to defend. Otherwise, there was a risk of the western city wall collapsing.

Lu Luo, Yang Wei, and the other overseers followed Manager Number Two and rushed to the western city wall. When they saw the surging wave on the lake, their expressions froze.

At this moment, Lu Luo remembered that the wasteland reclaimers in the four districts were currently attacking more than 50,000 demon beasts on the east wall. There were dozens of Third Realm demon beasts among them!

However, there were no Third Realm martial artists among the wasteland reclaimers.

Lu Luo asked, “Sir, what about the east wall?”

Before Manager Number Two could speak, Yang Wei smiled in disdain and said, “Tell the refugees to block it themselves! They have to block it no matter what. If they can’t, they have to block it even if it takes their lives!”

“Also, hasn’t Shield Ghost been very arrogant recently? Isn’t his reputation very powerful? Let him go!”

Lu Luo instinctively wanted to punch him.

Yang Wei hurriedly hid behind Manager Number Two.

Manager number two pulled her back. “Don’t fight in such a time.”

With that said, Manager Number Two sighed and said, “You have to take the overall situation into consideration. The west wall is more important. If we can’t handle it on our side, it’s useless even if we guard the east wall.”

“On the other hand, if we guard the west wall, we can immediately return to defend even if they fail to guard it.”

At this moment, another announcement sounded.

This time, the voice was different from before. It was not Manager Number One.

“The higher-ups of the organization need to guard the western city wall. All refugees are invited to the eastern city wall to help the wasteland reclaimers resist the demon beasts. After defeating the demon beasts, every refugee can receive a Zero Realm skill book, a Zero Realm equipment, and a three-day rations for an adult man. The outstanding contributors can directly become two-star wasteland reclaimers of the Germinal Organization.”

Yang Wei smiled strangely. “Did you hear that? Manager Number Three is very decisive. As long as we give them some benefits, the refugees will immediately do what we tell them to.”

“The refugees exist because of the Germinal Organization. If the Germinal Organization is gone, the refugees won’t be able to survive either.”

Lu Luo kicked him, making Yang Wei cry out.

“You’re right,” she said indifferently.

Yang Wei cursed, “How dare you hit me when you know that I’m right? Sir, look!”

Lu Luo snorted. “I just felt like hitting you.”

“Alright, resisting the demon beasts is more important. Let the wasteland reclaimers and refugees resist the east wall. Whoever survives or dies… everything will be up to fate.” Manager Number Two shook his head and placed his attention on the demon beast that was quickly approaching.

It was a five-meter-tall purple-black octopus. The patterns on its body were like flowing blood.

It stood up and stretched its head into the window of the second floor.

This Seventh Realm demon beast quickly locked onto the strongest expert in the crowd on the city wall.

The man and the beast looked at each other, their eyes flickering with sparks.

Hua.

The black-clothed martial artist quietly appeared beside him. “Stop looking. You can’t beat it.”

Manager Number Two :”…”

He leaned closer to the black-clothed martial artist and whispered, “In the future, can you not ruin my reputation in public?”

The black-clothed martial artist also whispered, “Alright.”

Then, he shouted, “Hide behind me. Watch how I deal with that Demon Blood Octopus.”

Manager number two: “…Didn’t you say that you won’t embarrass me?”

The black-clothed martial artist whispered, “I said I won’t embarrass you in the future. We’re still in the present.”

“Damn.” The refined Manager Number Two finally cursed.

Lu Luo looked at the black-clothed martial artist curiously. She knew that Manager Number Two had always had an extremely powerful guard beside him. Manager Number Two had brought him in when he joined the Germinal Organization, but she had never seen the black-clothed martial artist take action.

At this moment, the Demon Blood Octopus’s body suddenly expanded, and a huge amount of lake water was absorbed into its body.

The next moment, the lake water was wrapped in the Demon Blood Octopus and shot over.

It was like a violent water dragon that covered the heavens and the earth.

The black-clothed martial artist suddenly pulled out an ice-blue broadsword from the storage compartment.

The broad sword was ridiculously large. It was 1.8 meters long and 20 centimeters wide. It was difficult to imagine how the black-clothed martial artist was capable of waving this weapon.

The black-clothed martial artist suddenly slashed downwards.

The silver-white frost power blasted out and collided with the water dragon.

In an instant, the water dragon froze, and the sun shone brightly.

The Demon Blood Octopus’s bell-like eyes flashed with human-like shock and anger.

The black-clothed martial artist put away his sword and calmly said, “I’ll keep an eye on the Demon Blood Octopus. You don’t have to worry about it for now. Worry about dealing with the other demon beasts.”

With the encouragement of the black-clothed martial artist, Lu Luo, Yang Wei, and the other overseers immediately became motivated and unleashed skills of various grades.

At the same time, on the eastern city wall.

A large group of refugees rushed up the city wall noisily, picked up their machine guns, and started shooting randomly.

It seemed that there were more people now, but Lin Xuan had to admit that a group of untrained refugees was… useless.

Instead, they made things worse.

In the chaos, many refugees had already lost their footing and fell down from the city wall. In an instant, they were drowned by the demon beasts, and not a single piece of flesh was left.

Before Lu Luo and the others left, they had killed more than ten Third Realm demon beasts. Even so, there were still more than thirty Third Realm demon beasts left on the east wall.

These Third Realm demon beasts were a huge hidden danger. From time to time, they could attack from afar and kill the wasteland reclaimers on the city wall.

A huge toad swept a wasteland reclaimer away with its tongue.

A bullet painted fish spat out mud bullets from its mouth, and its powerful kinetic energy directly shattered the heads of a group of refugees.

The deaths of a large number of people had already made the wasteland reclaimers and refugees fearful.

If the casualty rate increased even more, it would touch the red line in people’s hearts and cause a large-scale escape. At that time, the east wall would definitely collapse.

Even if Lin Xuan’s identity was exposed, he still wouldn’t be able to resist tens of thousands of demon beasts alone.

After failing the mission, he might even be expelled from the Germinal Organization.

The wilderness was too dangerous. The level of the wandering demon beasts was unknown. Who knew if a Seventh Realm, Eighth Realm, or Ninth Realm demon beast would kill him tomorrow?

“Shield Ghost, where’s Shield Ghost? He’s so powerful, why won’t he help us!?”

“That’s right. Shield Ghost is also a resident of this city. If the eastern wall is gone, everyone will die. He should also understand this principle.”

“Who knows Shield Ghost? Shout!”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and shouted, “I have a relationship with Shield Ghost. I’ll go get him!”

With that said, he ran and entered the row of shack outside the Germinal base.
