Chapter 390: Chapter 206: Humanity’s Hymn is a Hymn of Courage
They even set up a massive Barrier that enveloped the entire Solar System.
This was all to prevent Earth from being caught in the crossfire!
The Mutant Beasts on Earth seemed to have all gone berserk.
After the Human Race repelled one wave of attacks, the beasts would regroup and launch another in less than half a month.
In just one short month.
Human casualties had already reached the tens of millions!
However.
The Mutant Beasts suffered even heavier losses—more than double those of the humans!
Both sides were caught in a blood-crazed frenzy!
As the war escalated, the battlefronts continuously expanded!
Residents of many cities were also forced to evacuate due to the widespread fighting!
Because.
Somehow, the Mutant Beasts had found a way to disable the defensive shields around the cities, rendering them useless.
Even the Celestial Dao couldn’t repair them.
Although the Human Race managed to hold back most of the Mutant Beasts outside the war zones, a small number still broke through into human cities, destroying buildings and slaughtering indiscriminately!
Some ordinary civilians were reduced to nothing more than food for the Mutant Beasts.
Clearing out these Mutant Beasts often required dispatching Evolvers, which took time.
Therefore.
Humanity had no choice but to expand the battlefronts and continuously evacuate civilians toward the central regions.
Fortunately, before the war began.
The Supreme Federation had already constructed an underground world and stockpiled massive amounts of supplies.
As a result, the chaos was quickly quelled!
And just like that.
Before anyone realized it.
The final war between the Mutant Beasts and the Human Race had been raging for a full eight months.
In those eight months of fighting.
The Human Race had lost a staggering three billion people!
The Mutant Beasts’ losses were even more astronomical, reaching nearly ten billion.
There were hardly any Mutant Beasts left in the world!
Almost all that remained were Mutant Beasts of Tier Three and above!
It seemed the Human Race was gradually marching toward victory.
「Dachang City.」
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—
Figures zipped through the streets and alleys, patrolling with detection devices in hand.
Leading them was none other than Pei Shiqi, Wang Xiao’s Direct Disciple!
After the war began.
She was naturally conscripted. Being Wang Xiao’s disciple hadn’t exempted her from military service!
Over the past eight months.
She had become more mature and level-headed.
Her Cultivation had even broken through to the level of a Tier Five Life, reaching the Third Limit Break!
Among the Human Race, she was considered a top-tier combatant!
And as the war escalated.
Dachang City, once a human residential area, had become a city on the fringes of the battlefront, with its own underground city.
Pei Shiqi was a native of Dachang City.
Therefore, the Supreme Federation had appointed her as the city’s City Defense Officer, responsible for leading daily patrols to search for any hidden Demon Beasts!
"Chief, we’ve been fighting for so long. Do you think we’re about to win?!"
"Yeah! I saw that the Mutant Beasts have been completely wiped out in several places. Our people are starting to live on the surface again!"
"Hmph, the Mutant Beasts have lost at least ten billion of their kind so far. Their defeat is just a matter of time."
"I wonder when this will all end. You never even see a shadow of those Tier Nine Life forms. They don’t even come down to help us!"
"What are you talking about? We have Tier Nine Evolvers, and they have Tier Nine Mutant Beasts. Haven’t you been listening to the broadcasts? Our Tier Nine Evolvers are holding their Tier Nine Mutant Beasts back outside the Solar System. If they weren’t, what chance would we have? The entire Solar System would be destroyed!"
"Damn, is it really that extreme?!"
"How would I know? I’m only a Tier Four Life form!"
Pei Shiqi shook her head, cutting off her squad members’ chatter.
"Alright, focus on the patrol. Are Tier Nine Life forms something you should be gossiping about?!"
She gazed at the once-bustling streets and buildings, now dilapidated and reduced to rubble.
Some buildings had collapsed completely.
Their ruins glinted under the setting sun.
It all felt so unreal to her.
The great war between the Human Race and the Mutant Beasts had erupted so suddenly, without any warning!
’Of course, it wasn’t entirely without warning.’
’At least, some of the high-level leaders in the Human Race and my master must have known.’
However.
After the war began, she had lost all contact with her master.
’Of course, I don’t think Master would ever desert his post. He must be on some kind of special mission!’
"Looks like these Mutant Beasts have been pretty much wiped out. We haven’t found a single one all day!"
After patrolling for most of the day, until dusk approached.
One of the squad members couldn’t help but stretch.
Pei Shiqi glanced at the time, just as she was about to call in the next shift to take over.
BEEP BEEP BEEP—
The detector on her wrist suddenly began to blare.
"Mutant Beast activity! And it’s at the entrance to the underground city! Let’s move!"
Pei Shiqi glanced at the detector on her wrist, her expression shifting.
’Logically.’
’The detectors should have gone off the moment a Mutant Beast entered Dachang City.’
’It should have been impossible for one to get anywhere near the underground city entrance in the center of the city.’
’Did the detectors malfunction?!’
’Impossible.’
’If only my detector hadn’t reacted, it might have been a malfunction.’
’But for all of our detectors to remain silent... this definitely wasn’t a problem with the equipment.’
But.
Pei Shiqi didn’t have time to dwell on it.
She immediately led her squad members, racing toward the entrance of the underground city.
If those Mutant Beasts broke into the underground city, the consequences would be unimaginable!
RUMBLE!
By the time Pei Shiqi and her team arrived.
Scores of Mutant Beasts were already clashing with the guards at the entrance to the underground city!
