Chapter 122: Seem to be at a Stalemate
Within the ranks of the Green Shadow, only three warriors possessed the power of a Third Layer Awakener.
And those intercepting teams, several squads combined, had at least three or four team leaders who were Third Layer Awakeners. With such strength, it shouldn't be said that his subordinates held the upper hand, but at the very least, there should have been a stalemate, right?
Yet in just these few seconds, several of his men had fallen?
Had he not known that the blind girl never lied, Xu Yancheng would have probably spit out his contempt.
"They must have some kind of killer weapon, or a means to shield themselves from the blind girl's detection."
Whatever the tactic was, to achieve such an effect in a short time, they must have had strength on par with a Fifth Layer Awakener at least.
He turned his head to look at the deputy Corps Commander beside him.
He had to stay central to command, and obviously could not leave, but his deputy commander only possessed the power of a Basic Period Fifth Layer Awakener and was not an ability user—he felt it was not secure enough.
"Flying Eagle Captain…" Xu Yancheng then turned to look at Yang Wei, the team leader of the Flying Eagle Team.
"Okay," Yang Wei responded coldly with his arms crossed.
...
At the back of the team, the captured survivors hung their heads in despair.
Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded in the distance.
He Qingqing was startled, "Is this a battle?"
The explosions continued for quite some time without ending.
Tong Xiangrong listened intently with a serious expression, then slowly nodded, "It seems that this team's target really is the Green Shadow Sanctuary. Around here, only the Green Shadow Sanctuary has the strength to resist them, but..."
But if there truly were such terrifying Awakeners in this team, then the Green Shadow Sanctuary would ultimately be unable to hold out.
At that moment, He Qingqing saw several Awakeners hurriedly set off, heading in the direction of the explosions.
Even the Awakeners guarding them no longer had the initial ease in their brows.
"Uncle Tong, do you think there could still be a chance?"
Seeing this, Tong Xiangrong felt a glimmer of hope reignited in his heart.
Even the pale-faced Awakener nearby was startled, "The battle has lasted so long, does the Green Shadow Sanctuary really have such strong strength?"
Not long ago he had seen quite a few Awakeners heading out with mortars; with such heavy weapons, along with those powerful Awakeners, the Green Shadow Sanctuary seemed even less likely to resist.
Yet the battle was still at a deadlock until now?
...
Inside the vacation resort, the survivors were anxious.
The Sanctuary wasn't large, and any minor incident could easily spread; all the more so since they saw quite a few Patrol Team members running out, and they could faintly hear explosions from afar.
Everyone sensed that something was wrong.
"What the hell is going on? Is it an attack from the Demonized Beasts?"
"No, it's said that there are enemies invading. Those explosions might be the sound of artillery fire."
The inquisitive survivor became even more panicked, "What should we do then? We should flee quickly."
"Flee? Don't forget your daily food and lodging are provided by the Sanctuary. Now that the Sanctuary is in trouble, you think of running away? A real piece of work!"
As an early newcomer to the Sanctuary, Wang Zhou faced such a situation without an ounce of panic, merely casting a disdainful look at the survivor beside him.
"We're unarmed, what use is it to stay here?"
"At least you could cheer for Captain Luo or Director Tang with a few '666s,' instead of thinking of running away at the first sign of danger!"
This kind of scene took place in many areas within the Sanctuary.
Many survivors were panicked and afraid, but there were also many who believed in the strength of the Sanctuary. Some survivors who had joined the Sanctuary early and had witnessed many major events were now all the more composed.
It's just enemies, they haven't even reached the city walls yet, why the worry?
...
Tang Yu still observed the battle situation leisurely.
On a small mound, Xu Yancheng felt increasingly that something was amiss.
Wang Hu pursuing that sniper hadn't returned for a long time, it was possible he was having too much fun and didn't want to come back.
But Yang Wei was always decisive and efficient in his actions. If something could be resolved in one second, he would never take two seconds. So why hadn't he returned yet?
Xu Yancheng wanted the blind girl to take another look at the current situation, but seeing that the blind girl's eyes were tightly shut and tears of blood were flowing, he knew that she had overused her abilities. No matter how much he pressed her now, it would be futile.
Xu Yancheng hesitated but then noticed that Lin Wei had arrived at this side without him knowing when.
"Boss..." he started to speak but didn't know what else to say.
Lin Wei was accompanied by the Guard Captain and two great masters of Dark Owl, walking slowly over.
After looking at Xu Yancheng, Lin Wei said without expression, "Gather all remaining members and quickly storm into the Green Shadow Sanctuary from the front."
"But boss, what if the people of Green Shadow take the opportunity to escape?"
Lin Wei glanced at him, "Given the strength the Awakeners of Green Shadow have shown, if they want to leave, could those you arranged stop them?"
Xu Yancheng's face stiffened.
The strength of the Awakeners from Green Shadow Sanctuary was surprisingly strong; it seemed that concentrating forces was the best method now.
He only hoped that Wang Hu and Yang Wei could quickly eliminate the enemy.
......
Wang Hu was indeed having a wild time at this moment.
His fists turned into phantoms, moving at extreme speed.
Like meteors crashing toward Shay.
Boom boom boom!
Dull thuds sounded.
Like a wild wind sweeping up, sending dust flying, everywhere their feet touched, the ground cracked, the nearby thicket was either broken by the strong winds or pulverized in their collisions.
Even the elites of Tiger Leopard Team could only avoid them from far away.
However, the more the fight dragged on, the more shocked Wang Hu felt in his heart.
The man in front of him clearly only had the aura of a Basic Period Fifth Tier Awakener, yet in their fight, he wasn't at a disadvantage at all. Wang Hu should have been able to defeat him since he wasn't holding back, nor was he transformed, and yet he couldn't overcome his opponent.
Despite Wang Hu being at a higher level and stuck at the Fifth Tier Peak for some time, even with regular training that deepened his strength.
While surprised, Wang Hu became even more excited.
He took a deep breath, veins bulging all over his body, each punch bringing with it a fierce wind sound.
On the other side, Shay was even more exhilarated.
"Indeed, a fight with actual punches and kicks is no less thrilling than the romance of explosions; I once thought about becoming a warrior too."
If his Contact Explosion ability hadn't been ineffective against living beings, Shay genuinely considered becoming a boxer.
He had even thought about the profession—calling it Blast Boxer, a unique career he would create.
Unfortunately... he was a gunman, and it was only in his spare time that he could indulge in this way.
Shay noticed the Patrol Team members on the other side were gradually faltering under the ferocious assault. If it went on like this, there would likely be casualties... The Patrol Team members didn't have much training time, and their level was far inferior to the opponents. If it weren't for an initial sneak attack, they would have already collapsed.
"Well then, it's time to unleash my true power."
Shay leaped back, drawing upon a collision, and violently pulled out the iron rod on his back. The iron rod transformed, quickly turning into a weapon resembling a hand cannon.
Bang!
A cannonball shot out.
It exploded amidst the members of Tiger Leopard Team.
The blast of dirt rose up over a dozen meters high.
Tiger Leopard Team members, caught in an aggressive attack, were bewildered, and Wang Hu, who was just about to pursue, widened his eyes in shock.
