“Booming rumble…”

A thunderous roar like actual thunder resounded throughout the entire Oasis City.

“Booming rumble…”

Another one.

It was as if someone was operating some massive piece of engineering machinery to attack Oasis City.

The light barrier that had originally seemed incredibly sturdy now appeared to be swaying and shaking incessantly.

“Woooo…”

The sound of the air raid siren once again pierced through the entire Oasis.

In that very instant.

The golden magic circle in the sky shattered like broken glass, web-like cracks instantly spreading across the entire sky.

The web-like cracks reflected in everyone’s pupils, imprinting the most despairing emotion of this world.

Weren’t they supposed to hold out for twenty-four hours?

How long had it even been?

An intense Anomaly aura leaked in through the web-like cracks, flooding the entire Oasis like a tidal wave.

Anyone who sensed this Anomaly aura couldn’t help but have their expressions drastically change.

Whether they were Sequence 5 or Sequence 1.

No one could maintain their usual composure under the assault of this thick, ink-like Anomaly aura.

Ordinary people, under this pressure that felt like the very heavens and earth, dared only to stand frozen in place, not moving a muscle.

“All Superhumans, follow me to the city wall!”

A blood-red figure shot through the sky like a crimson dagger, streaking straight towards the city wall area.

Chen Ye abruptly turned his head to look at Chu Che.

Chu Che gritted his teeth, finally glaring back at Chen Ye with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

What Chen Ye was thinking in his heart, he understood very clearly.

What he himself was thinking, he believed Chen Ye also understood.

Although the two hadn’t spoken, their disagreement was already laid bare.

Chu Che clenched his teeth: “To the city wall!”

Chen Ye paused for a split second, then finally gave Chu Che a deep look before turning and transforming into Green Smoke, disappearing from the spot.

Chen Ye wanted to flee, to escape the Oasis.

But Chu Che wanted to defend. It wasn’t that he was determined to live or die with the Oasis, but at the very least, they should put up some resistance.

After all, no matter what, the Oasis could be considered the first city established by humanity after the apocalypse.

If the Oasis truly couldn’t be defended, then fleeing wouldn’t be too late.

At this moment, Chen Ye also understood it wasn’t the time to argue or debate with Chu Che.

Since he acknowledged Chu Che as his captain, at a time like this, he had to support him.

They could discuss their differences later.

Or if they truly couldn’t hold, Chen Ye believed Chu Che wouldn’t actually let so many people from the convoy die in the Oasis.

This was the tacit understanding between Chen Ye and Chu Che.

As for the two women, one older, one younger, they stood there dumbly staring at the cracked web in the sky.

Chu Che didn’t say anything more either, turning and disappearing from the spot at an extremely fast speed.

He still had many things to do.

…

When Chen Ye reached the city wall, Sun Xixi, Iron Lion, and Ding Dong had also arrived atop the wall.

There were also some other familiar figures.

Liu Li, dressed in white like a goddess; Ye, clad in pitch black like a wraith of the night; and Xu Linhao in his tracksuit…

After all, these people had all gone to ask questions earlier.

Whether they could hold was one thing.

Whether they came was another matter entirely.

However, the scene before their eyes was something these people would probably never forget in this lifetime.

Endless indescribable shapes crawled over the golden light barrier.

What made Chen Ye’s eyelid twitch uncontrollably was precisely that massive, twisted “Tangled Crowd.”

At this moment, within the Tangled Crowd, those entangled people used their exposed hands and feet, desperately climbing on the light barrier.

Even though their lower bodies were still entangled and entwined with others.

But their upper bodies were straining to tear an opening in the golden light barrier.

A young man whose lower body was entangled, a pair of malevolent eyes staring at the crowd behind the golden light barrier, but his hands were desperately reaching into the cracks of the golden light barrier.

He wasn’t the only one like this. An old woman with only her head exposed stretched her neck forward. Because the distance wasn’t enough, this old woman opened her mouth, straining to extend her tongue.

That tongue, like a venomous snake’s Serpent’s Tongue, wanted to inflict even the slightest damage on the golden light barrier.

Not only that, not far away, there was a fellow Chen Ye found somewhat familiar, desperately trying to mimic a human smile as he looked at the people behind the golden light barrier.

Perhaps because he wasn’t yet proficient with his newly acquired body, this person used his teeth to frantically gnaw at the cracks in the golden light barrier, attempting to widen them.

Right at a spot less than twenty meters from where Chen Ye stood.

Countless wooden figures were swarming madly towards the golden light barrier.

These wooden figures looked as if they were carved by some mentally disturbed craftsman.

Round eyes, no eyelids, no eyelashes, no eyebrows.

The eyes looked like randomly discarded black and white glass marbles pressed into place.

The mouth area had rows of neat white teeth.

They looked like discarded dentures haphazardly installed after being fished out of a trash can.

These wooden figures were definitely not models or toys.

Because, these wooden figures were also occupying a crack at this moment, desperately using every means possible to damage the golden light barrier.

When Chen Ye’s gaze swept over them.

These wooden figures instantly stopped moving.

As if they were playing a game of “Red Light, Green Light” with you.

As long as you stared, the wooden figures would freeze.

But the moment you looked away, the wooden figures would instantly spring back to life.

Of course, given the population of Oasis City, these wooden figures shouldn’t be able to move.

But the Anomalies outside Oasis City were countless times more terrifying than the wooden figures.

The wooden figures could only be considered the most inconspicuous among them.

Moreover, these wooden figures’ grasp of the rules was simply extreme.

When Chen Ye focused on two or three of the wooden figures.

The other wooden figures instantly revived, moving with bizarre speed.

But when Chen Ye shifted his gaze to those two wooden figures, the others revived again.

The crack stretched from the bottom all the way to the top.

Densely packed with these wooden figures.

Impossible to count just how many.

With so many wooden figures, there were always some not under anyone’s direct gaze.

The other wooden figures, upon realizing they weren’t being watched, moved with frightening speed.

At almost every crack in the golden light barrier, there were unseen Anomalies attempting to widen the fissures.

If the previous Anomalies were merely appetizers.

When Chen Ye saw a giant roughly thirty meters tall, swinging its head—the size of half a basketball court—like a battering ram.

Smashing it against the golden light barrier again and again.

Chen Ye understood. He understood why there had been those “booming rumble” thunderous sounds earlier.

This giant was about as tall as a ten-story building, with a massive belly.

That belly almost dragged on the ground, and there was no head on its shoulders.

Because, that head was currently being held and used by itself.

If judged by normal human proportions, this giant’s proportions could only be called bizarre.

In Chen Ye’s remaining Blood Eye, he saw the giant head clutched in the giant’s hand was still grinning at him.

Then the next second.

That enormous head collided with the golden light barrier.

Chen Ye even saw the golden light barrier compress the giant head until it deformed slightly, the immense squeezing force even popping the eyes out of their sockets.

The golden light barrier emitted a groaning, creaking sound of strain.

Everyone watched this deformed giant in horror.

No wonder those Anomalies hadn’t assaulted the city earlier.

They were waiting for him.

The next instant, the giant head hammer was lifted again by the massive hand.

Raised high!

With a whistling sound of wind.

It came crashing down heavily once more.

“Crack…”

More cracks appeared on the golden light barrier, like a car windshield struck by a stone.

No, this can’t go on.

At the very least, something must be done.

Otherwise, the golden light barrier wouldn’t hold out much longer.

Just as this thought surfaced in Chen Ye’s mind and he prepared to act.

The “crack” sounds linked together into a continuous series.

In just an instant.

The golden light barrier, which had been barely holding on, transformed into shattered fragments of glass.

The golden light barrier…

Was finished.
