“Are we saved?”

Those standing stood, those fallen remained on the ground; upon hearing Colin’s words, they all froze, the expressions of desperation on their faces turning bizarre—what the hell was he talking about?

Did you not see what happened when that palm struck down?

Boom…

Before anyone could speak, the distant ground began to vibrate once again as a surge of deep blue-black mist rolled in, like an earthquake-induced massive tsunami, swallowing everything in its path, unstoppable.

In a minute or two at most, this towering mist would engulf them all, digesting everything.

Even before it truly arrived, everyone could feel an overwhelming sensation of hunger bursting within them, rapidly losing their reason.

“Dang—Dang—Dang—”

A distant, heavy, age-old bell tolling sounded in everyone’s ears.

An invisible and intangible presence quietly descended.

The intense hunger that maddened the mind in their guts quickly subsided…

At the same time, as the tumultuous wave of deep blue-black mist approached the nearby Black Stone City castle, it was as if it collided with an invisible high wall, unable to advance further.

Under this indescribable force, the mist dissipated, and Calder and the others violently wrestled free from the intense hunger, regaining their sanity.

“What happened?”

They looked confused; at the moment just before their reason had been devoured by the hunger, they all had a deep sense they were on the brink of death.

But unexpectedly…

The situation had somehow reversed!

However, before they could say anything, the anomaly reappeared. With that palm strike that had quieted down for a good while, sounds of wriggling limbs started coming from all directions once again.

The ones with “Beast Transformation Syndrome” seemed to have begun moving again, rapidly crawling up from beneath the castle in dense numbers, looking like a black tide, just the sight of which made one’s scalp tingle.

“Lord Colin, what you meant just now was…”

The old butler hurriedly looked to Colin, but before he could finish, he saw Colin wave his hand, signaling him not to continue.

Glancing at the “Beast Transformation Syndrome” sufferers climbing up from the less than two-thirds remaining castle walls, Colin drew his revolver, took a bullet from his pocket, loaded it into the cylinder, and then raised his hand to fire into the sky.

The flash from the gun’s muzzle served as a beacon—

[Coordinate traction completed, “Zoo” First Legion “Bunny” is about to enter the battlefield!]

As another message flashed across the retinas, the whole world suddenly flickered with red light, accompanied by a massive, elongated siren sound. Along with this sound, everyone’s strength swiftly returned, as though some kind of buff had been applied to them.

Suddenly, Calder, who was not far from Colin, felt his eyelids twitch. He saw nine gates that appeared out of nowhere.

They looked ancient and hefty, covered with mottled and severe red rust, and many signs of damage and incompleteness left by war.

The siren sound was coming from behind the gates…

Colin had seen such gates before; they had led to Lady “Bunny’s” office, but now these gates looked significantly larger.

Rumble…

The gates suddenly opened, revealing misty gray fog that surged mysteriously behind them.

Then, a creature with a head slightly resembling a mouse, with long ears and red eyes, walking upright like a human, came out.

It wore a strange yet fitting military uniform, adorned with various bottles and jars, holding an exquisite long sword, and as it moved, mechanical sounds were emitted, indicating it was not purely organic.

After walking out of the main gate, he looked around, first at Colin, then raised his right hand to his temple in salute before pointing his drawn longsword towards the sky.

Thud, thud, thud—

The sound of uniform, methodical footsteps came from beyond the Mist Gate.

Immediately after, everyone gasped as they saw one after another of these two-meter tall behemoths march out in formation. Their chests, shoulders, abdomens, and lower bodies were covered with thick steel plates, and they each carried a backpack and held a metal weapon.

Beneath helmets that stood with two metal ears, eyes shimmered with a faint red glow.

Each one of these creatures looked like they were not to be trifled with…

“What the hell is this now?”

Calder swallowed hard, lifting his head, his face a mix of bewilderment and terror. Holding his short sword, he momentarily forgot about committing suicide.

In his eyes, these beings exuded a sense of oppression far greater than the contaminated minions of the Evil God!

Especially their armor—it was so heavily built and shone with a cold metallic luster that it gave off an intense sense of pressure. He even doubted whether his blade could inflict any damage upon hitting them.

However, he could also see that these creatures had a deep connection to “Lord Colin,” as their weaponry seemed very similar.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed one of these strange beings raising the long spear in his hands, aiming at him, and pulling the trigger.

Bang!

Amidst the flash of gunfire, an explosion suddenly sounded behind him, and he turned just in time to realize that the target was a “Beast Transformation Syndrome” creature attempting to sneak up on him from behind.

Moreover, it was a fat, Second Order “Beast Transformation Syndrome”!

It was taken down in an instant!

Ignoring the transfixed Calder, these towering metal beings immediately started firing all around them upon their arrival.

Suddenly, countless flashes of fire blazed, and the ceaseless roar of explosions resonated, reducing dozens—no, hundreds—of the “Beast Transformation Syndrome” creatures, which had been causing their scalps to tingle, to mere pieces under the assault of these terrifying weapons.

In an instant, the security of the area seemed assured.

After swiftly clearing the site, the long-eared helmet wearers hopped down from the top of a five-story building as if they were dumplings.

Their figures sliced through the chaos like a hot knife through butter, turning the tide of the situation in mere moments.

“A large number of mutated creatures have appeared in Area A, requesting fire support!”

“Area B has detected a source with a strong contamination trait, mist form, dark green and black, contamination level 5+, requesting fire purification!”

“A large number of heavily injured individuals detected, medical teams please provide support immediately! Speed! Speed!”

“Do not panic! The ‘Bunnies’ will spare no effort to protect the possibility of survival for every sane life!”

“The ‘Bunnies’ are starting to ‘munch the grass’!”

“Increase firepower! Increase firepower! Increase firepower!”

A wave of voices sounded in the air, leaving the people around in a daze, seemingly failing to grasp the current situation.

Some of the severely injured, such as those lying on the ground motionless yet apparently still breathing, were carried on stretchers by smaller, more agile figures in white clothing, into the Mist Gate, as if there was still a chance to save them.

In that moment, those protected by a crowd in full-cover thick metal armor felt an unprecedented sense of security welling up inside them.

However, just then, everyone’s heart skipped a beat as they saw in the quarantined dark green and black fog, a monstrous shadow emerge.

It slowly raised its hand, stretching toward the castle.

That same dark green and black gigantic palm, which had appeared once before, once again made its presence known before everyone, as if it aimed to flatten them all into dust.
