Chapter 560: To the golden bridge
Using persistence to welcome hope, use hope to exchange for survivor. That was what many survivors believed in.
It wasn’t that they were poets, but the world had forced them into that.
Aside from Cloud Port Alliance, the scattered reinforcements, the huge Ying City Alliance, or Sky Elephant Division, all came for money.
But things were unexpected. The ocean beast wave was huge, and they couldn’t be defended. When they surrounded the city, everyone here was trying to hold on.
They hoped to exchange this persistence for hope, the hope to continue living. They prayed that the beasts would disappear as suddenly as they appeared.
Some people thought about breaking out, but facing the endless beasts, even Cloud Peak or Sky Elephant Division didn’t believe they could survive.
They could fight the beasts with the city protecting them. Without these walls, they had no confidence.
When the wall collapsed, their faith fell.
Death was something that all survivors faced. They often talked about not being afraid of death and would often mock people who cowered in front of death and scolded them for being cowards.
But when death was unavoidable, they realized that they weren’t much better.
Stunned, pain, they gave up, they went mad…
Each person acted differently in front of death, but one thing was the same: all their reactions were caused by despair.
In that instance, the three core factions in the city made different choices.
Elegant Cavalry Squad went all out, and the entire squad suffered huge losses.
They lost half of their squad, and there were many heavy injuries. Only a 3rd of the original number could still move.
This casualty rate was enough to make an elite squad collapse.
The reason why they were still holding on was because the city hadn’t been broken into.
But now that it broke, Meng Xiangjiang ordered them to break out. When some of them dashed far ahead, he led his core squad forward and ran towards an area of the city.
There was a secret passage there.
Although he didn’t know if that passage existed or if those beasts destroyed them, that was still hope. If no one found it, he felt like he could live.
As for those people who came to help Cloud Port, they weren’t something he considered. He didn’t even have time to think about the Sky Elephant Division he wanted to join.
His only thought was that he had to live.

Mo Ye chose to break out when the city was broken into.
She didn’t manage to wait until Ye Zhongming returned. The prepared path wouldn’t be able to be used then.
No one expected that he would leave to investigate that black smoke two days ago and for him not to return.
Mo Ye gave a short speech and told them about Cloud Peak’s attitude. She described what was going to happen. At that moment, she was the core of the entire Cloud Peak and Ying City. She was the third most powerful behind Ye Zhongming and Xia Lei.
Her calmness was something everyone recognized.
No one objected, and no one interrupted. They knew Mo Ye and Cloud Peak were prepared to die with everyone. Since that was the case, there was nothing else to say.
Moreover, Ying City Alliance had blind faith in Cloud Peka. They felt that things would be solved if Cloud Peak were still alive.
There was also the guy who always created miracles. Ying City members believed he would return at the crucial moment and save everyone.
Thus, only Ying City was orderly when the entire city was in chaos. They protected the Sky-breaking Series cannons and the Lightning Turrets. In a short time, they made a giant stretcher and lifted Yellow Ball on it.
They then chose to break out towards the path that Ye Zhongming disappeared towards.

Guang Yao maintained his faction’s combat strength. His choice was different from the Elegant Cavalry Squad and Ying City Alliance.
Before the wall collapsed, everyone knew that they wouldn’t be able to defend it. He didn’t panic. Although he was shocked, he made his pre-planned choice.
He ordered his men to give up on the defense and gather toward the center city.
He had no exact time, but he knew it would be quick. The thing that the Resistance Zone knew about and wanted him to verify was about to happen.
She had made his choice. Even if he died, he would make a gamble.
He would gamble that the news that the Resistance Zone got was real.
One could say that the Sky Elephant Division was the faction with the clearest goal in the entire city.
The organization formed during the peacetime had discipline other factions couldn’t compare with. The other factions had just started moving when their members retreated from the walls.
Without any defense, the walls started to get invaded. Ocean beasts charged in and roared. They gathered in the city.
At that moment, a golden bridge appeared.
Guang Yao was originally expressionless, but now he couldn’t suppress his joy. He clenched his fist and roared.
The news was real.
“Charge up the bridge!”
Guang Yao gave his men a clear order.

“Sister Mo, look!”
Someone reminded her about what happened in the center city. Mo Ye looked towards that golden bridge, and her expression changed. Hesitation flashed.
She saw that the city's beasts gave up eating the humans and ran towards the golden bridge. She saw Meng Xiangjiang, who was fleeing, suddenly stop. She saw Guang Yao leading his men and charging towards the bridge.
She instantly changed her focus.
“We will go to. To the golden bridge!”
