The Last Rock Emperor

Chapter 253: Different Thoughts

July 6, 2030, 2:00 p.m. Eastern Military Region.

After three days of attack, the four simple walls of the outer city of Shanghai were already filled with devastation, and countless three to four meters tall caves were densely packed on them.

The entire city wall seemed to have been soaked in blood. A thick layer of black and purple scab covered it, and countless broken limbs covered it.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

"Countless fist-sized mutated flies flew everywhere, searching everywhere for blood and meat paste that hadn't dried up yet. It was like an Asura Prison Ground.

However, the battle hadn't stopped yet. Countless human warriors were still fighting bravely on the city walls and beside the caves.

Countless guns, tanks, armored vehicles, and weapons rumbled in the ruins of the buildings that hadn't collapsed yet.

Cao, Liu, Wang, Yang, and the four great clans had already shouldered their responsibilities and protected the four walls. In the outer city, most of the survivors had already begun to retreat into the inner city.

The four great clans were already preparing to retreat after using the arc, lightning, and microwave rays once.

Although it was only a day's time, what that Rock King Zhu Yifan said was correct. The current situation was no longer within their control. Quickly retreating and preserving the life force of humans was the most correct choice.

Outside Shanghai, in a small teahouse, there were three strange humans, two sharp blades, and one with gorgeous skin.

Evidently, they were not humans. Their Corpse King was the Corpse King who had besieged the Eastern Military Region and the Demon Capital City.

One of the Sharp Bladed Corpse Kings said, "Ghost guy, did you sneak in again?"

The gorgeous corpse king licked his lips and smiled, "That guy's ability is very useful against humans."

"He left a message," said another Sharp Blade Corpse. "Let's suppress the entire army. Break the outer city within a day. Once the outer city is broken, he can break the inner city within two days. He'll invite us to a feast together."

The colorful-skinned Fierce Poison Corpse King's eyes flashed with cold light, and saliva oozed out from the corner of his mouth. He said excitedly, "Do as he says."

Not long after the three zombies gathered, they dispersed again. Very quickly, the Corpse King's roar sounded from outside Demon Capital City.

The general attack began. Countless Third Grade zombies and Fourth Grade zombies rushed over. Fireballs and ice arrows covered the sky and earth.

On the human side, the zombies were greeted by a rain of bullets, countless cannons that burst out of their tongues, and missiles that flew out of the inner city one after another.

The deafening sounds of gunfire, bullets flying, explosions, shouts, and waves of corpses resounded throughout the world.

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble!"

Dozens of Tier 4 deformed silver-armored corpses charged towards the city wall like iron-armored monsters, creating huge holes in the city wall.

Although it didn't pierce through the wall at once, as long as it was done twice, this simple wall wouldn't be able to withstand anything.

"Kill …!"

On the human side, countless ragged-clothed youths shouted as they grabbed onto the alloy saber shield in their hands and rushed forward fearlessly.

"Peng peng peng peng peng peng!"

The humans and the zombies collided once again.

"Puchi …!"

Countless heads flew up. There were zombies and humans...

Inside the inner city of Shanghai, in the meeting room of the four great clans.

The four Patriarchs sat upright. Cao Zhigang's expression was gloomy. Liu Hongming's face was slightly pale. Wang Rui was uneasy. Yang Cheng's expression was calm, as if everything was under control.

Although Cao Zhigang's expression was gloomy, he was still strong. "Everyone, think of a way to quickly withdraw from Shanghai."

"Right now, there is only one way to go. Go south to Suzhou and Hangzhou and run inland," said Liu Hongming powerlessly.

Wang Rui said seriously, "Of course, if we want to leave, we have to head south. The key is how to escape. We are now surrounded by zombies. Over a hundred miles out of the city, there are corpses that can't be seen at a glance. Even if we can run, what about the countless survivors in the city?"

Yang Cheng's expression was gloomy as his heart surged. He was extremely disdainful of Wang Rui's words. According to him, this was the end of the world. It was good to care about himself. How could he care about the lives of others?

Cao Zhigang's eyes also flickered. Obviously, what he was thinking had nothing to do with the 27 million survivors.

Of course, he was thinking about the Cao Clan. He was incomparably glad that he had foresight.

From the first day of the apocalypse, Cao Zhigang had already prepared a path for the Cao Clan to retreat. However, this path was originally a path he had planned to retreat from the three great clans after unfortunately failing to fight for power. At that time, it was a tunnel that led directly to Huzhou.

The twinkling of the two made Liu Hongming's pale complexion even paler, and also made Wang Rui, who was uneasy, even more uneasy.

Both of them knew that Cao Zhigang, Yang Cheng, and these two great clans were probably no longer reliable.

Liu Hongming chuckled.

"Good one, Cao Zhigang!"

"Good one, Yang Cheng!"

"What a young general in China. What a famous veteran general with countless merits. More than 27 million survivors. Just put him down."

"I admire you very much. Since the two of you already have other thoughts, why are you still pretending to be here?"

Seeing their indignation, Yang Cheng looked at them as if he was looking at S B, and said seriously, "The two of you are too excited. Death is like a lamp extinguishing. In the current situation, with your wealth, I advise the two of you that living is the most important thing."

Cao Zhigang did not say anything. He was very silent. He felt that there was nothing to explain. It was only natural for him to make such a decision. There was nothing to explain.

He, who had been in a high position for a long time, no longer regarded the lives of the commoners as one thing. Even if it was hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions, as long as it didn't concern their lives, it was just a number.

At this moment of life and death, they finally revealed their true nature. In their eyes, as long as their clan still had the strength and could continue, everything else was no longer important.

If there were no survivors, then there would be no survivors. As long as they had the strength, they would be able to gather together again.

"Really …!" Liu Hongming was a little angry, and then he said seriously, "Then I, Liu Hongming, wish the two of you a long life!"

A cold light flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes. Then, he said warmly, "I say, Old Liu, aren't you too excited? Brother Cao and I didn't express our stance, nor did we say that we don't care about the survivors. One must know, there are also our soldiers there."

Cao Zhigang also had a serious expression on his face. "That's right, Old Liu, don't worry. We won't leave the survivors behind unless we have to."

Liu Hongming took a deep look at the two of them, then looked at Wang Rui. Finally, he said, "I have an idea, but I need the four great clans to work together."

Wang Rui immediately said, "Old Liu, if you have any ideas, just say it directly. Since when has this happened? It's so mysterious and mysterious."

Yang Cheng and Cao Zhigang also nodded, signaling for Liu Hongming to explain his method.

Of course, Liu Hongming knew that the two of them had already thought of escaping by themselves, but he still said bluntly, "Gather all the Earth Elemental Evolvers and dig out two tunnels about 200 kilometers in a day."

Wang Rui was the first to respond, "Alright, my Wang Clan has three hundred Earth Element Evolution cultivators. I'll leave them to you to command."

Yang Cheng and Cao Zhigang exchanged a glance before continuing, "My Yang Clan also has three hundred Earth Element evolvers."

Cao Zhigang also said seriously, "The Cao Clan hasn't fallen behind either. Three hundred Earth Element Evolution Realm cultivators."

Liu Hongming said seriously, "Alright, all the Earth element evolvers of our Liu Clan will participate."

Cao Zhigang finally said, "Since this matter is settled and the situation is tight, it is best for everyone to quickly take their places and control the overall situation."

After Cao Zhigang finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the meeting room. The three people behind him also walked out of the meeting room one after another.

In the Outer City of Shanghai, on the roof of a building very close to the city wall, Qi Lan's expression was grave as she looked at the zombies pouring in like a tide.

The group of corpses should be attacking. When Qi Lan saw countless Third Grade and Fourth Grade zombies surging over like a tide, she knew that it was broken.

Although all sorts of missiles flew out of the inner city one after another, annihilating countless zombies, it was useless. Qi Lan knew that Demon Capital City would eventually be annihilated.

Just like the Rock King had said, if he had planned to retreat earlier, the longer he fought, the more miserable he would be. Or could it be that the higher ups of the military region were using their lives to exchange for crystal cores?

As an assassin, Qi Lan, one of the world's top three assassins, naturally had no problem with her IQ.

From Qi Lan's point of view, the current situation seemed to be about to leave early. She didn't know if that damned Old Yang had decided who he wanted to kill.

However, without waiting for her to be upset, a wind element evolver flew towards her. He had seen this person before, it was the Yang Family.

Qi Lan was delighted in her heart, but her face remained calm. She waited for someone to stop and ask, "Looks like your Clan Master has finally made up his mind."

The person smiled and said, "Looks like Miss Qi Lan is also a little anxious. The Patriarch invites you to the roof of the Eastern Building for a while."

"Chi …!"

Qi Lan didn't waste any words. With the blood flames on her body, she flew towards the Eastern Tower.

Roof of Dongfang Building.

Qi Lan and Yang Cheng stood opposite each other. Yang Cheng said warmly, "Qi Lan, who do you think I should kill for this last head?"

Qi Lan said coldly, "Old Yang, no matter who you want to kill, make up your mind before the demon capital is destroyed. It won't wait any longer."

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Haha, aren't you going to help your master fulfill his promise?"

Qi Lan chuckled, "Originally, he didn't ask me to help him finish it. I won't wait here to die."

Yang Cheng said seriously, "Of course, no one will wait to die here."

"Looks like you're even more disgusting than I thought," said Qi Lan with a hint of disdain.

"I don't need the last head, but I want you to leave the city with the Yang family and protect me until I reach Huzhou," Yang Cheng said.

Qi Lan smiled charmingly, "Alright, I've already left the city by the way. Let's just treat it as a matter of heart."

"However, remember, I will only protect you. I will not care about the lives of others."
