The fourth chapter of the Global Human Talent Competition! Chapter 15 'Twin Stars'
There is no day or night on the battlefield.
"call!"
Chu Zhou stood amidst a sea of blood and corpses, holding a dragon-tooth sword in his hand. He took a long breath, and a trace of fatigue that could not be concealed flashed in his eyes.
Now, his whole body was stained with blood, and his hair was dripping with blood.
Of course, the blood was not his, but the monster's.
Two days.
He fought a bloody battle here for two days and two nights, with almost no rest.
He also went from being relaxed at the beginning to becoming exhausted.
There are just too many monsters.
It’s impossible to kill them all.
Even if he was an iron man, he couldn't stand such sleepless fighting.
The beast tide is far more cruel than one could imagine.
At the beginning, he could still protect everyone in this section of the defense line.
But later on, he could only protect part of them.
A large number of warriors and soldiers on this section of the defense line were killed by the monster's sharp teeth and claws.
Fortunately, Ling Zhan, Shi Meng and Li Qingshi all survived.
Moreover, after two days and two nights of brutal bloody battles, their potential was stimulated and they were promoted to intermediate awakeners.
"Boss, that killer Xie Longyuan is watching you again."
Shi Meng was resting on the corpse of a monster the size of a truck. He noticed a bloody and crazy gaze in the distance and spoke to Chu Zhou.
Ling Zhan and Li Qingshi followed the bloody and crazy gaze and immediately saw a figure standing on a mountain of corpses dozens of meters high.
That figure, holding a blood sword in his hand, with loose black hair and bloodthirsty and crazy eyes, was like an unparalleled killing god, exuding a chilling aura.
The warriors and soldiers surrounding the mountain of corpses all stayed far away.
It seemed as if it was afraid of the murderous figure above the mountain of corpses.
Ling Zhan and Li Qingshi, of course, knew that the man was Xie Longyuan, who was very famous during this period.
"Boss, your performance with Xie Longyuan these past two days has been too crazy. Now many warriors here call you the 'Twin Stars'."
"But I think Xie Longyuan seems to be somewhat hostile towards you!"
"This person gives me a very dangerous feeling, Boss, please be careful."
Li Qingshi lifted a strand of hair that was blocking her vision to her ear and reminded Chu Zhou with a serious look.
Chu Zhou glanced indifferently at Xie Longyuan lying on the pile of corpses, not caring at all about the other's crazy and bloodthirsty gaze.
He had also long noticed that Xie Longyuan was often staring at him.
But he just doesn't care.
"He's an interesting person... But don't take him too seriously."
He said this nonchalantly, throwing away a bone he had chewed clean.
Then, he grabbed the leg of a super-class monster and used the Force to roast it.
When Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi heard Chu Zhou's words, their faces froze slightly and they smiled bitterly at each other.
They saw how crazy Xie Longyuan's performance was in the past two days.
The terrifying killing power and the murderous intent when killing, as if it wanted to chop every monster into countless pieces, made all those who witnessed it secretly terrified.
It can be said that all the warriors and soldiers along the entire defense line were frightened by Xie Longyuan's condition and gave him the nickname "Blood Sword".
Only Chu Zhou dared to ignore such a person.
However, Ling Zhan and the other two also knew that their boss Chu Zhou was indeed qualified.
Xie Longyuan's performance shocked everyone.
But isn’t it the same for their boss Chu Zhou?
It is also because of this that 'Tyrant Blade' Chu Zhou and 'Blood Sword' Xie Longyuan are now called the 'Twin Stars' of the battlefield.
Every blow was a sharp one, with a strong sense of confrontation.
"...'Ba Dao' and 'Blood Sword', these two nicknames give off a strong feeling of destined enemies. Boss, I always feel that you will fight against Xie Longyuan."
Shi Meng spoke casually while wiping his boxing gloves.
Chu Zhou did not take Shi Meng's words to heart. He glanced at Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi and said:
"This beast tide is a disaster, but also a test. I estimate that this beast tide will last for a long time. You must seize every opportunity to be trained and advance to the extraordinary level as soon as possible."
Ling Zhan and the other two nodded seriously.
In fact, they also understood that the three of them were far behind the captain Chu Zhou.
If they don't break through quickly, they will really become a burden to captain Chu Zhou.
Although they are not as good as Chu Zhou, they are also geniuses.
Otherwise, they would not have been called the three monsters of Jiangcheng in high school.
They are also people with ambition and pursuit.
I never want to be a burden to others.
Ling Zhan said nothing and went to the side to practice swordplay.
After two days and two nights of bloody battles, his "Heavy Rain Sword Technique" became more and more profound and fierce.
Every time he swung his sword, dense sword energy would spread out and cover the entire area, giving off a sense of heavy rain falling from the sky.
When Chu Zhou saw Ling Zhan's swordsmanship, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Ling Zhan is worthy of being the leader of the three great monsters in Jiangcheng. Perhaps his level has not been improved because he has been practicing for too short a time.
But in terms of swordsmanship, he became more and more proficient.
Now he is about to break through the barriers of the "Heavy Rain Sword Technique" and create his own "Heavy Rain Sword Technique".
Chu Zhou is very optimistic about Ling Zhan.
In his opinion, Ling Zhan's talent is no worse than that of Oriental Pearl and other geniuses.
Especially Ling Zhan's mind was very pure, and he focused almost all his energy on practicing swordsmanship.
If Ling Zhan is given enough time to grow, his attainments in swordsmanship will shock the world, and he may even become a sword god.
"Haha, Boss is right, we should also work hard to improve!"
Shi Meng jumped down from the monster's corpse with a loud laugh, walked to the side, and began to practice boxing seriously.
Li Qingshi saw that Ling Zhan and Shi Meng had started to practice seriously, so he smiled lightly, found a position, and began to practice his own assassination skills.
The two daggers in her hands kept flashing like elusive poisonous snakes.
Chu Zhou himself was also practicing hard - well, he was eating barbecue with big mouthfuls!
All members of the Blade Team are seizing the time to practice.
And a new wave of monsters soon arrived.
Chu Zhou and others continued to fight with the monster.
While Chu Zhou and others were fighting with the monsters, more and more soldiers and warriors arrived at the battlefield by train.
There are also countless nuclear tanks, nuclear armored vehicles, missile transporters, ion cannon vehicles, armed helicopters, fighter jets, drones, etc., flying from the air or driving on the ground.
There were even people flying over in mechas.
Millions of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of warriors, and countless high-tech weapons and equipment all came to the battlefield to reinforce and lengthen the defense line.
The overwhelming artillery fire carried out saturation bombing and carpet shooting on the monsters that were rushing in like waves.
Countless monsters fell one after another.
The tense situation on the entire battlefield was immediately greatly relieved.
Chu Zhou and others were finally replaced by new warriors and had time to return to the supply base to rest and adjust.
“This is the essence of our human race!”
Chu Zhou and others were amazed when they saw the armed helicopters, fighter jets, drones, mechas, nuclear tanks, nuclear armored vehicles, ion cannon vehicles, missile transporters and other high-tech weapons in the sky and on the ground, as well as the solid defense line composed of millions of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of warriors.
They also gained confidence in this battle.
The beast tide is terrifying.
But they are humans, not weak either.
"Finally I can take a good rest. Otherwise, if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll die of exhaustion!"
Shi Meng stretched lazily, and walked towards the supply base with Chu Zhou and the other two who had retreated from the defense line.
" Yeah! I am a little tired indeed!"
Chu Zhou also sighed.
After several days of sleepless battles, even if he had plenty of energy, he felt tired.
Chu Zhou and his three companions soon arrived at the entrance of the supply base.
However, at this moment, a murderous figure suddenly stopped them.
"…It's 'Blood Sword' Xie Longyuan. He has stopped 'Tyrant Blade' Chu Zhou. Are these 'twin stars' going to collide so soon?"
At the entrance of the supply base, many warriors who were preparing to return to the base to rest stopped and watched when they saw this scene.
"Xie Longyuan, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Xie Longyuan blocking the way ahead, Shi Meng frowned and shouted loudly.
Xie Longyuan ignored Shi Meng. From beginning to end, his eyes were only on Chu Zhou.
"Chu Zhou, I'm very interested in you!"
Xie Longyuan spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes faintly bloodshot, revealing excitement and bloodthirstiness.
It was as if a beast had seen its prey.
An irrepressible cold murderous intent burst out from him, sweeping around like a storm, making many warriors pale.
Chu Zhou just lifted his eyelids slightly, glanced at Xie Longyuan nonchalantly, and said lightly: "I have no interest in you... I am very sleepy now and want to rest, please make way!"
As he spoke, he casually stretched out his hand and pushed Xie Longyuan aside, and walked directly to the building that the base had arranged for their Blade Squad to rest.
Seeing Chu Zhou brushing aside the Blood Sword Xie Longyuan as if he were a passerby, and then walking past Xie Longyuan without a care in the world towards the base...
Ling Zhan and his three companions, as well as all the warriors around them, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
This is the 'Blood Sword' Xie Longyuan.
A god-like figure.
Now Chu Zhou actually treated him as a passerby.
Such a scene had a huge impact on everyone.
In fact, Chu Zhou really didn't take Xie Longyuan seriously.
He himself doesn't know how strong he is now.
He only knew that after he upgraded his World-Destroying Sword Technique to the fifth level, no one at this level of controller would be his match.
Although Xie Longyuan is very powerful, it can even be said that he is almost invincible among the controllers.
But in Chu Zhou's opinion, that's all.
That was why, facing Xie Longyuan's provocation, Chu Zhou remained calm and did not even have the slightest desire to fight.
"Boss, wait for us!"
Shi Meng shouted, and he, Ling Zhan, and Li Qingshi quickly caught up with Chu Zhou.
Xie Longyuan stood in place, staring at Chu Zhou's back, his face revealing excitement and bloodthirstiness.
He didn't care at all about Chu Zhou's attitude of treating him as a passerby.
In other words, he never cares about other people's opinions, attitudes, or feelings; he only cares about his own feelings.
He felt a huge excitement now.
He suddenly felt a long-lost sense of threat from Chu Zhou.
He hasn't felt threatened by a warrior of the same level for many years.
Now tasting it again, it’s really good!
Now, he had only one thought in his mind - that was to fight with Chu Zhou and defeat Chu Zhou!
"The meaning of my existence is to constantly defeat stronger opponents and prove myself!"
"Chu Zhou, I've confirmed that you are a very good opponent!"
"I will definitely defeat you!"
Xie Longyuan muttered to himself, his expression became more and more excited, and the murderous intent in his body became stronger and stronger.
It was as if a torrent of blood was flowing out of his body, flooding the space near the base.
The warriors at the gate of the base felt as if they were soaked in cold blood, and their mouths and noses were filled with the smell of blood.
"Xie Longyuan's murderous aura is too strong!"
Many warriors felt their scalps tingling, unable to bear the bloody murderous intent from Xie Longyuan, and chose to stay away from Xie Longyuan.
…
Room 304, Building 05.
Chu Zhou and others entered the room, washed up one by one, and immediately found a room to go to bed.
While Chu Zhou and others were resting, some new situations emerged on the battlefield.
In a wilderness area dozens of miles behind the defense line, there was a loud bang, and a large area of the ground shattered, revealing a huge underground hole.
“Squeak…”
A large number of cockroach-like monsters crawled out from the underground cave.
Each of these cockroach-like monsters is as big as a house, with a hideous face and wings that gleam with metallic light.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
Numerous cockroach-like monsters flapped their wings and flew high, soon forming a dense black cloud, flying towards Jiangcheng.
However, these cockroach-like monsters were discovered by a reconnaissance plane as soon as they appeared.
Immediately, dense swarms of drones descended, firing wildly, and engaging in a fierce battle with the cockroach-like monsters that looked like dark clouds in the sky.
At the same time, teams of warriors came to support.
However, the monsters that appeared from behind the defense line were not just cockroach monsters.
There were also many insect-like monsters that were good at burrowing into the ground, and they broke out from behind the defense line.
There were also some snake monsters that were good at water. They bypassed the defense line from the depths of the rivers and entered behind the defense line.
There were also many bird monsters that bypassed the defense line from the sky and landed behind the defense line.
A large number of monsters entered the rear of the defense line through various means, which brought the war into a new stage.
Humans not only have to deal with the beast tide in front of the defense line, but also have to send a large number of manpower and weapons to deal with the monsters that appear behind the defense line.
This also made this war even more cruel and tragic.
Every moment, countless monsters die, as do many warriors and soldiers.
When Chu Zhou and the others woke up, they immediately received a new mission notification:
"Notice: The war has entered a new stage. A large number of monsters have bypassed the defense line by drilling, diving, flying, etc. and appeared behind the defense line. As a result, our defense line has been attacked from both sides by monsters, and our city has also been greatly threatened..."
"Coordinates: 25.136, 34.258" A group of crocodile monsters appeared in the nearby river. Blade Squad, please go and clean them up immediately."
Chu Zhou and others were shocked when they saw the notification on the communication watch.
They had not expected that the war would change so quickly. Not only was the defense line facing the impact of the beast tide, but also the people behind the defense line were facing the rampage of monsters.
"Damn it! Have these monsters also learned human tactics? They know how to bypass our defenses by drilling, diving, and flying, and attack us humans from behind our defenses..."
Shi Meng punched the table, breaking it into pieces.
Ling Zhan and Li Qingshi didn't say anything, but their expressions became serious.
They all realized that it would not be easy for humans to end this beast tide as soon as possible.
"Pick up your weapons and carry out your mission!"
Chu Zhou said directly.
Soon, they rushed out of the supply base and sped towards the location of the coordinates.
However, when they had just traveled halfway, they saw a shocking scene.
I saw a black figure holding a blood sword, piercing through a bat-like monster that was more than 300 meters in size from bottom to top like lightning, bathing in endless blood rain, and rushing up to the sky.
“Screech!!!!”
The bat-like monster wailed before dying.
The terrifying sound waves turned into real sound waves, sweeping over an area of several miles.
Hundreds of other bat-like monsters the size of houses were all instantly blown into bloody mist.
The densely packed drones in the sky also exploded one after another.
A small piece of forest below was also shattered into powder, with countless debris flying everywhere.
Dozens of nearby mountains were also
Ling Zhan and the other two were struck by the terrifying sound waves and felt like they were about to explode.
Fortunately, Chu Zhou acted in time and released the surging force in his body, forming a gray energy shield that covered Ling Zhan and the other two and isolated them from the sound waves.
This saved Ling Zhan and the other two from death.
"It was a close call. If the boss hadn't intervened in time, the three of us would have exploded on the spot!"
Shi Meng said this with lingering fear.
"Yes, that monster just now was so terrifying. Even before it died, it could still unleash such a terrifying sonic attack!"
Li Qingshi also said this with a look of luck on her face.
The three of them now had blood streaking from all their orifices and looked extremely miserable.
Fortunately, it was not serious.
"That bat-like monster just now... should be a commander-level monster!"
Ling Zhan rarely spoke, and looked solemnly at the familiar black figure in the sky.
"It's Xie Longyuan... He actually killed a commander-level monster!"
Shi Meng and Li Qingshi were secretly shocked when they saw the familiar figure bathed in blood.
They knew that Xie Longyuan was very strong.
But no one expected Xie Longyuan to be so strong that he could even kill a commander-level monster.
You know, the commander-level monsters are comparable to humans' boundary-level giants.
Xie Longyuan is just a controller, but he can kill a bat-like monster that is comparable to a boundary-level giant. This is definitely shocking news.
Chu Zhou saw the scene where Xie Longyuan killed the commander-level bat monster, but his expression remained calm from beginning to end.
"Let's go!"
He said this calmly, leading Ling Zhan and the other two to continue rushing towards the mission location.
In the sky, Xie Longyuan, who was bathing in the blood rain, also saw the figures of Chu Zhou and his group.
"Chu Zhou? I've been waiting for you!"
Xie Longyuan's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light. He grinned, turned into a shadow, and chased in the direction Chu Zhou left.
