Chapter 488: Surrounded From Three Sides

“I will never forget that day when I was entertaining guests from the Era Channel, the sky suddenly darkened, the dreadful voice echoed once again, just like three years ago, and I lost control of my body once more.”

Qi Yu remembered feeling very scared and shivering all over, repeating the sound he heard in fear.

“It’s almost time, three days left until the Era Battlefield opens. The strongest warriors will be selected, the fate of the races will be in your hands, so fight to your heart’s content.”

“As the stiffness left his body, something terrible happened!”

The demon race around him all went crazy, revealing their true forms and turning Luo Yang City into a living hell!

The city was soaked in blood, never before had Luo Yang City faced such devastation.

These demon race were all peak second-rank beings, but most of the residents in the city were ordinary people, helpless against these powerful demon race!

Qi Yu’s voice became sharp, indicating the horrifying scene he witnessed as a survivor.

“What nonsense, demon race!”

“They are just mutated beasts in human skin, they only know how to kill, it’s all fake! All fake!”

Zhang Mu saw Qi Yu about to break down, so he eased some of the pressure on him and used magic to relax his mood, softly asking, “What’s next?”

“Wang Liang led a group to confront the demon race, leaving some of their bodies behind, then the three Demon Emperors arrogantly left with them.”

Listening to Qi Yu, Zhang Mu probably guessed that Qi Yu’s memories only showed the truth from his own perspective as a small character.

And Zhang Mu had already figured out the real truth.

The demon race at that time may have genuinely wanted to coexist peacefully with humans, their wish was simple because of their advanced intelligence. They didn’t want to be associated with the mindless mutant beasts who only knew slaughter; they wanted to change.

But they were also pitiful; in the face of the wave of evolution, what talk of freedom and change could there be?

In order to ensure the success of Era Battlefield, the wave of evolution reopened the savagery and beastliness suppressed within them due to their advanced intelligence. They had no capacity to resist at all.

They were truly powerless.

The only ones who still retained their reason were probably the three Demon Emperors who had likely already advanced to the fourth rank at that time. That’s why they took away the demon race who had been triggered with savagery. It wasn’t as Qi Yu described it, showing off; you see, under the circumstances where humans were unprepared, those rampaging demon races could easily wipe out the entire city.

The cute fox wife sleeping next to him suddenly turned wild and bit open her husband’s throat while he was dreaming.

Or maybe a friend eating together, directly transformed into their true form and crushed their companion.

One year was enough for most people to let go of their guard.

Humans were at their weakest during this time. Without the intervention of the Demon Emperor, Zhang Mu might never see humans in this region again.

But they intervened and brought back these frenzied demon race beings to their original place.

It must be true love between Demoness Moon Queen and Wang Liang. With Wang Liang’s understanding, he wouldn’t be fooled if Demoness Moon Queen had planned to deceive him.

Zhang Mu shook his head, realizing that both humans and mutated beasts had no choice when faced with that kind of power.

“How did Wang Liang end up sacrificing himself like this? He’s not someone who would give up his life to atone for others’ criticism.”

Qi Yu said in a daze, “Wang Liang was extremely dictatorial, and some people under him were dissatisfied. Coincidentally, he was the one who secured the agreement at that time. Being with Demoness Moon Queen, they say he was enchanted by fairies.”

Wang Liang naturally paid no attention to the noise below, but he had a handle that forced him to submit.”

“What handle does Wang Liang have?”

Zhang Mu quickly asked, feeling like he was about to find out everything.

“Wang Liang’s handle is his son!”

Wang Liang actually has a son?

Zhang Mu was stunned. In a short time, Wang Liang already had a son.

Qi Yu continued, “A twisted mix of the demon and human races, a filthy half-demon!

Although only a two-month-old baby, he was already quite terrifying.

At that time, there were still many half-demon babies in the city who were not taken away by the demon race. Many people did not want them because of this, and they were all angrily put to death! Anyone who dared to intervene, even that person was also killed!

But there was one exception: his son, Wang Liang!

Wang Liang made a huge mistake that almost destroyed the city. With a son who had a shameful demon bloodline, people surrounded his home, demanding to hand over the half-demon baby.

Zhang Mu could imagine the situation when everyone pointed fingers at Wang Liang. Although the baby was innocent, those who had lost loved ones did not see it that way. Without the courage to go after them, they could only kill the half-demons.

Qi Yu’s voice rang out again, fueling Zhang Mu’s anger.

“Naturally, Wang Liang couldn’t give up his son. However, with many casualties among his loyal followers during the demon race riot, other influential figures took control of his son and demanded Wang Liang to publicly kill his mixed-blood child.

Later, for reasons unknown, according to onlookers, Wang Liang had feelings for demon race women and could not bring himself to kill their half-demons, leading him to commit suicide out of guilt.

Wang Liang was a scumbag who was enchanted. He had his way with human girls, seeking the demon woman. Despite wanting to sever ties with her, he couldn’t. How could a place like Luo Yang City be ruled by such a person?

Later, Lord Mengqiang became our new City Master. Under his wise leadership, we restored our previous way of life. When the Era Battlefield opened, the strong entered while we, with low strength, stayed to guard our home.”

Zhang Mu instantly understood.

The people plotting palace intrigues are hypocritical, they need to cover up their ugly hearts with a mask.

They forced Wang Liang’s son to take over from him, even threatening him to the point of suicide, but unwilling to be implicated themselves.

Wang Liang’s contributions over the past two years have been evident to all, they simply cannot erase them.

So, they could only have Wang Liang tarnish his own achievements with filth, gradually concealing them until everyone forgets.

Humans have a common fault – it may take years to remember your good deeds, but only a day to destroy you.

Wang Liang was a capable leader, his decisions were right at that time. If he could avoid the pressure from the mutant beasts, he could easily handle the zombie invasion and reclaim the city.

But Wang Liang was not a god, he also made mistakes.

His mistake was being too confident in himself, thinking that he could control the demon race numbers entering the city.

Wang Liang was also a man, he could fall in love with someone, but unfortunately, he fell in love with a Demon Emperor who would bring him death.

His years of good deeds were overshadowed by one careless mistake, leading to his demise at the hands of his own kind.

Wang Liang is ambitious and capable, unswayed by public opinion pressure.

But, he is a father.

“What about the child?”

Qi Yu’s eyes blank, replied, “I didn’t see him die on the spot, but heard he was taken care of afterward.”

“Is Demoness Moon Queen aware of this?”

“Seems like she knew before entering Era Battlefield.”

Upon hearing Qi Yu’s response, Zhang Mu recalled what No. 14 had said to him.

The current situation of humanity is very dangerous.

The Demoness Moon Queen’s husband was forced to death by humans, and her child suffered a cruel fate. If the Demoness Moon Queen truly loved Wang Liang, the pain and hatred would be immense.

She is also innocent!

There is also an irreconcilable hatred among humans who have lost their loved ones!

Such overwhelming hatred in the Era Battlefield is extremely biased.

Once humans and mutant creatures fight relentlessly this time, other zombie tribes, mutant plant tribes, if they have any thoughts against humans.

With attacks from both sides, even the most terrifying possibility emerged in Zhang Mu’s mind.

Humans will be surrounded on all sides!
