Chapter 161 Everyone is shocked! After becoming a god in this battle, Lu Sheng actually led the way
On the command platform, Zhang Yi put down his binoculars, his palms covered in cold sweat.
As he watched the figure riding the waves, the words his senior brother Chen Yan had said before he fell unconscious, holding his hand, kept echoing in his mind: "No matter what, you must maintain a good relationship with Lu Sheng."
Only then did he truly understand the weight of those words.
This is hardly about building good relationships.
This is clearly a powerful, all-powerful leg that we must cling to tightly, even if it means hanging on to it as a mere accessory!
"As long as he's here..." Zhang Yi murmured to himself, a glint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes, "Perhaps we really can carve out a bloody path through this apocalypse."
On the sea.
Lu Sheng was unaware of the complex thoughts running through the minds of the people on the shore.
All he could hear were the system notifications scrolling through the screen like the most melodious music.
[Kill a low-level floating corpse, +0.1 energy points]
[Kill a low-level floating corpse, +0.1 energy points]
[Kill a level 4 elite, gain +5 energy points]
……
Although the individual returns are extremely low, the endless quantity allows his energy point reserves to grow slowly but steadily.
Little by little, great things are achieved; grains of sand can be piled up to form a tower.
Every thrust of the spear brings tangible benefits.
however.
Lu Sheng showed no joy on his face; on the contrary, his brows furrowed more and more as the killing continued.
Tian Yonghua's piercing scream before his death weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain.
"My father is Tian Zhen! He's a super strong expert at level 9!"
Level 9, half a step.
As Lu Sheng mechanically swung his gun, smashing a floating corpse that lunged at him, he rapidly reviewed the events in his mind.
The strongest being I know of so far is that mysterious sea god, an 8th-level spirit source user.
And the mayor of a small town of this alien race in the deep sea has actually reached level 9 half step?
What about above the town mayor?
City Lord? Sea King?
What terrifying creatures lurk in the depths of this seemingly calm sea?
Is humanity's current strength really enough to contend with those deep-sea overlords?
A strong sense of crisis gnawed at Lu Sheng's nerves like a venomous snake.
"Too weak... still too weak."
Looking at his overwhelming combat power, Lu Sheng felt no sense of complacency.
In the face of a truly powerful being, I'm afraid my current strength wouldn't even be enough to protect myself.
Once that so-called Tian Zhen comes to kill us, not only Shuangjianfeng, but the entire Jinling fleet will be buried with us!
"I must become stronger as soon as possible!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Head to the western mountains! Establish our own power!"
"Using the All-Encompassing Forge, frantically smelt crystal cores!"
"Give me time, so what if I'm at level 9?!"
"I'll still kill you to prove it!!"
In the east, the horizon began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
The first rays of dawn, like a sharp sword, pierced through the dark clouds that had shrouded the sea all night, casting their light upon the devastated surface of the ocean.
The horde of zombies that had raged all night finally receded completely at dawn.
Or rather, they were all killed.
On the sea surface, a thick layer of corpses floated, densely packed, rising and falling with the waves. The black blood plasma completely stained the nearshore waters black, gleaming eerily in the morning sun.
Lu Sheng stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, his feet resting on the back of a floating corpse, rising and falling gently with the waves.
He slowly sheathed his gun, his posture upright like a pine tree.
The sea breeze ruffled his blood-stained overcoat, and the golden sunrise cast a sacred golden hue over his back.
ashore.
All the gunfire stopped.
Whether lightly wounded or seriously wounded, the soldiers struggled to their feet, took off their hats, and paid their respects to the figure on the sea.
No words are needed.
At that moment, that figure was their god.
Lu Sheng turned around and lightly touched the surface of the sea with his toes.
"boom!"
He drew a white line on the sea, and after a few rises and falls, he landed steadily back on the shore.
Despite not having slept all night and having experienced intense combat, he showed no signs of fatigue.
On the contrary, because he had absorbed a massive amount of vital energy, his spirit and energy reached their peak. There was a faint golden light flowing under his skin, and his eyes were bright and piercing, even more dazzling than the morning sun.
"Major Lu!!"
Zhang Yi, along with Qin Yue and Lin Hu, rushed over immediately, their faces beaming with the joy and admiration of surviving a disaster.
"We won! We won!!"
Zhang Yi was so excited that he was incoherent, and was just about to say something to flatter and celebrate.
"Everyone, now is not the time to be happy."
Lu Sheng raised his hand and coldly interrupted him.
Zhang Yi was stunned, his smile freezing on his face: "Major...Major Lu?"
Lu Sheng didn't even glance at him. He went straight to the unconscious Zhao Ze and Chen Yan, checked their condition, and after confirming that they were alright, he turned around and swept his gaze across everyone like a knife.
His tone was so serious it made people uneasy.
"Win my ass."
"Quickly clean up the battlefield and move all usable supplies, ammunition, and food onto the warships."
The group looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.
Didn't we just win a battle?
With high morale and ample supplies, it's the perfect time to rest and recuperate.
Why are you running away so quickly?
"Major Lu, what...what's going on?" Zhang Yi asked cautiously. "Our Twin Peaks are now impregnable..."
"Impregnable?"
Lu Sheng sneered, turned around, and cast his gaze at the deep, dark sea, a look of unprecedented solemnity flashing in his eyes.
"Those five level 7 monsters last night were just the vanguard."
"One of them left a message before it died: there is another old monster at level 9 in this sea area, and it is on its way."
"Level 9... Level 9?!"
Zhang Yi's voice instantly rose eight octaves, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Qin Yue and Lin Hu were even more pale-faced, and their calves were cramping.
Level 9!
That's a legendary level!
Even Chen Yan's Sea God teacher, who is revered as the strongest human, is only level 8!
Level 9 half-step means absolute destruction, meaning that if the opponent wanted, a single sneeze could flatten the twin peaks!
"Did you understand?"
Lu Sheng withdrew his gaze, looked at the group of terrified officers, and said in an icy voice:
"Staying here is tantamount to waiting to die."
"Now, immediately, right away."
"Notify everyone, including the refugees."
"Cut down all the trees on the twin peaks! Build rafts! Build boats!"
"Take what you can, and burn what you can't!"
"I want this fleet to leave this area before nightfall!"
Zhang Yi swallowed hard, realizing that the seriousness of the problem had exceeded his expectations.
He dared not utter another word, snapped to attention, saluted, and roared:
"Yes!! Evacuate everyone!!"
"Tear down the twin peaks...and run away!!"
P.S.: Today's update (4/4). Ahem, brothers, today is the author's birthday, that's right, December 27th. Sigh, I'm another year older. If you've read this far, I don't ask for anything today, just a blessing, okay?
