Chapter 764: Shattering All Defenses

In the command center, Zhu Zheng sat upright in his chair, watching surveillance footage of the Reincarnation Squad on the screen.

Squads of defense troops and Yan Yun Guards charged at them, attempting to block their advance.

However, the difference in strength was far too obvious.

Gao Changkong didn't even need to make a move - just a few of his empowered subordinates completely cleared all obstacles in their path.

"Hold them back! We must stop them from reaching the command center at all costs!"

"Where are our reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Lan Xincheng shouted orders into the communicator, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. For the first time, he felt the threat of death.

Even after so long in this apocalyptic world, as a high-ranking official of Blizzard City, he had never imagined his own demise.

But the steadily advancing Reincarnation Squad gave him his first true sense of mortal danger.

Over the communicator, unit leaders responded one after another: "We're almost there, Commander! Rest assured, we won't allow these traitors to harm you!"

On the Reincarnation Squad's side, Gu Man detected the approaching reinforcements.

The piercing sirens grew louder as they neared the building.

She smiled faintly and snapped her fingers with her right hand.

Just as the reinforcement troops arrived near the building, they suddenly saw a massive black cube materialize around the entire structure.

The black cube completely enveloped the building.

"This is... Gu Man's barrier from the Reincarnation Squad!"

A commanding officer looked on with panic.

Gu Man, an Emission-type ability user, codename: [Barrier].

As a top-tier barrier master, her abilities were terrifying.

The barriers she erected were extremely difficult to break - unless attacked by someone with far superior offensive power.

And currently in the city, almost all empowered individuals of that level had left.

Only one remained - Zhu Zheng's bodyguard, Sun Luxuan.

But under these circumstances, Sun Luxuan couldn't leave Zhu Zheng's side for even a moment.

"Break through this barrier!"

The gathered soldiers outside began attempting to breach the barrier with explosives.

A hail of bullets rained against the black barrier, supplemented by explosive charges.

Yet the black barrier remained as immovable as if made of diamond.

The commotion plunged all of Blizzard City into chaos.

"What's that noise? Are we under attack?"

"How can there be gunfire in Blizzard City? What's happening?"

The citizens huddled in fear, powerless to do anything but hide and pray they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.

At the Operations Command Center, Ji Yushen carved a path forward single-handedly with his sword, effortlessly dismantling every defense and trap in his way.

With the defense layout provided by Wu Zhengheng, they easily bypassed many obstacles, heading straight for Zhu Zheng's command center.

"Halt! Don't take another step!"

An empowered individual blocked their path, spreading his right hand to erect ten crimson barriers across the corridor.

Ji Yushen grinned, flashing his white teeth, then casually advanced with his greatsword in hand.

"Useless! Useless! Useless!"

Each swing of his blade shattered a barrier with ease.

The difference in power was too great - the defenders stood no chance against Reincarnation Squad members.

Soon, the man fell to Ji Yushen's blade, dying in despair and terror.

Watching this unfold, Gao Changkong murmured: "Killing was never my intention. If possible, I'd only take Zhu Zheng's head and rebuild Blizzard City's order."

"But throughout history, no revolution has ever been bloodless."

"I will remember you all. But today, you must die."

Genuine sorrow flashed in his eyes for this civil war.

Yet his steps forward remained resolute.

In the command center, all staff members were drenched in sweat.

"Commander Zhu... they've reached this floor!"

How could they defend?

They were just technical personnel - if the Reincarnation Squad came, they could only await death.

Lan Xincheng rushed to Zhu Zheng: "Commander Zhu, we must leave now!"

Zhu Zheng replied calmly: "Do you really think we can escape?"

Even if they boarded a VTOL aircraft, the Reincarnation Squad would shoot it down.

Modern weaponry proved far less effective against powerful empowered individuals than imagined.

Moreover, the building was already enveloped in Gu Man's barrier - no one could escape now.

Sun Luxuan slowly approached and bowed: "Commander Zhu, allow me to go."

Zhu Zheng nodded. "Go ahead."

A smile tugged at Sun Luxuan's lips.

Truth be told, it's been a while since I last fought. These old bones will rust without exercise.

He didn't appear particularly tall or imposing - somewhat gaunt even.

But no one dared underestimate this powerhouse. His position as Zhu Zheng's personal bodyguard spoke volumes.

Sun Luxuan turned and exited the command center. A flash of white light accompanied the door closing behind him.

The corridor had become a scene of carnage.

The last defensive squad had been slaughtered - severed limbs and viscera everywhere, thick crimson blood coating walls and ceiling.

Ji Yushen stood gripping his massive sword, pristine white skin splattered with blood like a demon from hell.

At the sight of Sun Luxuan, everyone froze.

They recognized him.

Gao Changkong smiled at the older man.

"Even you've been mobilized, old friend. Does this mean Zhu Zheng's last line of defense stands here?"

Sun Luxuan stared coldly at Gao Changkong.

"Gao Changkong, I never imagined you'd betray us. Don't you understand this path only leads to your destruction?"

"To betray the Jiangnan Region is to betray Huaxu Nation. The consequence can only be death!"

Gao Changkong's lips curled slightly.

He retorted mockingly: "Since when did you elitists, who treat ordinary lives as worthless, get to speak for everyone?"

"Enough talk. Today, all you rebels will die here!"

Sun Luxuan let his arms hang naturally. The space behind him distorted suddenly as light bent unnaturally.

Absolute darkness swallowed everything behind him.

From his sleeves, two streams of black mist billowed forth, spreading behind him.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't smoke but countless thin black filaments emitting a faint eerie glow - soul-chillingly terrifying.

PS: Today I checked yesterday's gift earnings and got quite a surprise - didn't expect so many friends sending gifts.

Though most were free "For Love" gifts (on Tomato you can get these by watching short videos), the accumulation still moved me deeply.

Thank you all.

Also, some readers mentioned crowdfunding for extra chapters.

So I thought - how about making it affordable for everyone to read more while I earn some gift money?

Hence this decision: every 4000 gift points (about 20000 "For Love" gifts - easily achievable if everyone clicks after daily reading), I'll post an extra chapter.

Recently there's been some drama around this book and me. I wanted to ignore it, but new readers might get misled, so here's clarification:

First, I never insulted fans during livestreams - only retaliated against antis who attacked me personally and insulted my parents. Should I not respond?

Second, I never called readers my "grandsons."

Long-time livestream viewers know my character. Being smeared like this is frustrating. As Guo Degang said: "Those framing you know exactly how innocent you are."

Once slandered, it's hard to wash clean. If I explain, they say I'm making excuses; if silent, they say I admit guilt.

I can only swear here: if I ever initiated insults against fans rather than defending myself, may I die horribly.

Thanks for your support.

Apologies for putting this in the main text - it affects reading/audiobook experience QAQ.
