Chapter 80: Dwindling Hope
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Electric Field had a weakness; it could not penetrate solid objects.
The Electric Field could not penetrate the sunken ship, so he could not see the details of the situation inside the ship.
It was the same in the city. Although the Electric Field could envelop an area of 300 meters around Chu Lingjun, there were too many buildings in the surroundings so there were many blind spots and blank areas.
He knew that these places were buildings and knew every pattern on the exterior of the buildings. However, Chu Lingjun had no idea what was inside the buildings.
It was only when the divine blood warriors pushed open the windows that Chu Lingjun discovered them.
“As expected of a teacher from Quicksand High School. His strength is impressive!”
A group of divine blood warriors appeared with puffed chests.
The leader was a bald man who was two meters tall. He had a fierce look on his face and a piercing gaze.
The most eye-catching thing was that he had two earthen yellow wings on his back.
Chu Lingjun stared at the bald man.
In his Electric Field, the man looked like he was suspended in air!
Chu Lingjun’s pupils trembled. He looked at the principal, Zhong Tongshan, who was busy protecting the school.
Since the awakening of the Electric Field, there were two situations that could not be captured by the Electric Field.
The first type was when they encountered espers with a Magic Domain, Perception Domain, and similar abilities.
The second type was a powerhouse similar to the principal.
The first had the ability to restrain.
The second had the ability to suppress the realm!
Chu Lingjun later found out from his homeroom teacher that the principal was a powerful Rank Four martial artist!
The realm suppression was too high, causing his Electric Field to not fully display its effect!
Chu Lingjun stared at the bald man in front of him with fear.
This fellow appearing here openly meant that he was probably a Rank Four powerhouse!
On the field.
The appearance of the divine blood warriors instantly attracted the attention of all the teachers and students.
Without any orders, all the teachers and students raised their guns in unison. Countless bullets rained down on the building like a storm.
A few teachers cast spells in their hands, and the students who were closer to the building roared and threw grenades into the building.
Those with divine blood should be killed without mercy!
This was the consensus of everyone in the new era!
A deafening explosion sounded!
The wall had shattered and collapsed by the window where the bald man was. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the dust did not settle for a long time!
Before the dust settled, Principal Zhong Tongshan, Shen Yanhu, and the others rushed in but walked with ugly expressions.
Chu Lingjun followed a few brave students and ran into the building. However, he saw that the building was empty. Not a single trace was left behind.
In the living room on the first floor, there was a pitch-black hole that led straight to the ground.
The group of divine blood warriors appeared and disappeared quickly.
“Was this God’s doing? “What’s the purpose of doing this?”
Everyone was confused.
Principal Zhong Tongshan looked at everyone with a puzzled expression. “According to past knowledge, divine blood warriors are known to only engage in sneak attacks. This is the first time they’ve appeared so brazenly.”
“Yes, I also find it strange!”
“We will have to sacrifice a lot of people to beat them! ”
“That’s right. I’ve been guarding against possible enemies just now, but now that these divine blood warriors are out-
Before the discussion could finish, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded from the center of the town!
Everyone turned to look at the explosion. When they saw it, everyone trembled!
The 100-meter-tall Quicksand Tower that stood in the town center square collapsed with a loud rumble!
The huge tower crashed into the ground, letting out a wail that resounded through the world!
A visible shockwave swept through the surroundings and destroyed everything!
In other directions of the town, a large number of flames and explosions sounded at the same time!
In the blink of an eye, Quicksand Town was shrouded in smoke. It looked like a scene from Doomsday!
After the children and teachers were evacuated, Shen Yanhu brought everyone to the nearby district.
“Lingjun, I saw Zhang Liang just now!” Ding Peng gripped the rifle in his hand tightly and stared at the surrounding buildings as he spoke in a deep voice. “I saw him too.” Chen Zhiqi also bit her lower lip and said in a deep voice.
“Me too.” Chu Lingjun nodded calmly without any expression.
“Aren’t you afraid of him falling and becoming a divine blood criminal?”
Chen Zhiqi turned to look at Chu Lingjun, looking puzzled. Chu Lingjun’s calm reaction made her full of doubts.
At this moment, Chu Lingjun suddenly waved his hands, and two streaks of purple lightning burst out.
The moment the lightning struck, a Rank Two Sandbird flew out from the corner, screaming as it pounced at everyone.
As soon as it flew out, it collided with the two bolts of lightning and flopped to the ground.
The students behind Chu Lingjun were shocked. The rifles in their hands jumped up like frightened rabbits and instantly formed a net of fire in the air!
The Sandbird had a high physical defense, but after being hit by so many bullets, it was instantly riddled with holes. It fell to the ground with yellow blood oozing everywhere.
Chu Lingjun then turned to look at Chen Zhiqi and said indifferently, “He’s just a small fry to me. There’s no need to take him seriously.”
“Alright then…” Chen Zhiqi.
Because of the appearance of the divine blood warriors, everyone became more on edge. They moved in units, and Shen Yanhu followed closely beside each of them.
No matter which class was attacked, the teachers would immediately support each other.
Zhong Tongshan and the other teachers were also guarding the roofs of the nearby buildings. They were killing the Sandbirds that descended from the sky while being vigilant of their surroundings. It was as if every tree and grass was in danger of being destroyed.
The divine blood warriors were nowhere in sight. They would not be able to withstand the attack if it was a Rank Four martial artist going against them!
This was also the reason why the bald divine blood warrior and the others left the city so quickly after attacking.
They would be torn to pieces if faced with the reserve army from Quicksand High School!
Under the push of the organized and orderly armed team, the exotic beasts that landed next to the school were quickly wiped out. In return, the price was only a few injured students.
“Why did Zhang Liang and the others disappear after appearing?
Because the operation to advance and search for survivors was going well, everyone could not help but relax to regain their energy. Chen Zhiqi recalled what had happened just now and asked in confusion.
“Yeah, it’s very strange. They appeared out of nowhere, attracted a wave of hatred, and then disappeared out of nowhere.” Ding Peng also replied in confusion.
Chu Lingjun did not answer. Instead, he pointed at the four city gates in the distance with his index finger. “Did you guys notice that the battle at the city wall has become more intense?”
Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi looked around.
“That’s right!” Ding Peng’s face turned pale. “The battle cries on the city wall have become more intense!”
Chu Lingjun nodded and continued.
“This means that these divine blood warriors just want to delay us.
“Other than the army outside the city, the two largest armed forces in our city are the city guards and Quicksand High School.
“Now that the city is ablaze and Quicksand Tower has been destroyed, the city guards’ morale will drop, making it difficult for them to support the battle in the city.
“The second armed force is us. Although we are only high school students, we can definitely make a dent in their forces”
“If more than a thousand students and a group of powerful teachers go past the city walls. It will be more than enough to tilt the situation on the battlefield in our favor.”
Chen Zhiqi and Ding Peng trembled. They immediately understood what Chu Lingjun meant!
The students of Quicksand High School had a lot of firearms training. In addition, they were all martial artists. It was not difficult for them to stand their ground.
Even the seniors were not to be underestimated. They were almost equivalent to an elite team!
Under normal circumstances, the military would not allow students to go to the front lines.
Instead, they would have the students stay behind to stabilize the situation and evacuate the people.
The main reason was that the death rate at the frontline was too high!
As for people like Chu Lingjun, they were all martial artists and espers that the government invested a lot of resources into nurturing every month.
If nothing unexpected happened in the future, Ding Peng and Chen Zhiqi would have no problem breaking through to Rank Three or Rank Four after seven or eight years of training in the army.
Rank Three can be considered as an elite of the army, while Rank Four would be seen as a huge profit!
The other ordinary people in the class would also become the foundation of the army in the future.
Therefore, it was not a top priority to bring them to the front lines. The military would not mobilize such valued assets.
“That’s why they came to trap us here in Quicksand High School and prevent us from providing support to other places in the city and the frontlines.
“They want to restrain the principal and our teachers so that they don’t dare to act rashly.”
The divine blood warriors hid in the dark, while they were the light that shone the way.
However… There was a limit to one’s strength. Once their guards go down, these hidden venomous snakes will immediately attack!
This was Chu Lingjun’s greatest worry!
Chu Lingjun never once bothered worrying about Zhang Liang!
Chu Lingjun’s eyes flashed as he thought of something and quickly walked towards Shen Yanhu..
