Captain 015

Shen Yue looked at her: "Where is our captain! I have something to ask him!"

Coffin Lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't ask. The boss said you just need to surrender." She thought for a moment, "The boss also said, if you don't surrender, beating you until you do is also acceptable."

"That's too much," Zhao Lei said, directly squatting down with his hands clasping his head. He looked at his shocked teammates, "You guys didn't actually think we could win, did you?"

Baoli City was just a small city, and its forces were weak across the board, only managing to produce Fang Zhiyi's team.

Its fall was only to be expected.

When he heard the news, Gu Heng's face was full of excitement. Those annoying guys were all dead, and they died at the hands of their former good captain, Fang Zhiyi. This news brought him great inner satisfaction.

Also, because the anomalies launched an all-out war, the headquarters was short of manpower. He finally returned to the ranks of the Guardians. Although he was only a reserve, it gave Gu Heng some hope.

In just a few days, news came that the anomaly army had conquered two more cities. From the high-ranking officials down to the ordinary residents, everyone fell into panic.

However, humanity did not know that the anomalies entrenched in various places were just as panicked as they were.

After sending his subordinates to attack the cities, Fang Zhiyi led the other anomalies to begin sweeping the outskirts. This sweep targeted the anomalies that had not joined them.

As for the low-level anomalies whose minds were only filled with killing, they killed them directly. The high-level anomalies with thinking capabilities were the targets to be recruited, although the recruitment method was somewhat special.

Crimson Makeup sat in front of an ancient bronze mirror, applying a bright red color to her lips just like any other day. She had heard that a group of anomalies was making a lot of noise recently, but she didn't want to know more. Staying here quietly was enough; humans would provide her with spiritual food anyway.

However, as the door was violently smashed open, Crimson Makeup's slender, pale fingers trembled, and the rouge smeared onto her forehead.

Her face instantly twisted, and her entire figure elongated, transforming from a slender woman into a terrifying demon. But after turning her head, she froze. Several anomalies of the same level appeared before her, looking her up and down.

Crimson Makeup also saw that the damn fat guy licking his lips at the very back was carrying a branch as thick as an arm on his shoulder. A row of air-dried skulls hung on the branch, seemingly all belonging to those low-level anomalies!

"Hey, you, coming with us?" Nuo-masked Wuchang asked.

Crimson Makeup's eyes remained fierce; what she hated the most was people disturbing her makeup routine.

"You are courting death!"

Nuo-masked Wuchang exchanged a glance, and the anomalies behind him silently closed the door.

Outside the door, several anomalies were squatting on the ground with their hands over their heads, listening to the sounds coming from inside. Some anomalies even showed gloating expressions. Fang Zhiyi sat lazily on a stone bench until Crimson Makeup, having been beaten back into the form of a slender woman, smashed through the door and flew out.

The fat anomaly was still shouting: "Of all people, you had to provoke them? You think our top enforcers are just playing around with you?"

Smiling Wuchang waved his hand: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. The boss is still here."

Crimson Makeup looked at Fang Zhiyi, who had a human aura in front of her, blinked twice, her face full of defiance.

At the same time, a shadow was thrown over. Crimson Makeup looked at her bruised and swollen neighbor in a daze. This old guy rarely interacted with her, but his strength was still very formidable. Why...

"Boss, he agreed to join!" A young man with an ashen face strode over.

"Don't force him..." Fang Zhiyi sighed.

"You, you're using numbers to bully the few!" That anomaly struggled to get up.

"Right, so what?"

"So..." The old anomaly suddenly sprang up and lunged at Fang Zhiyi. Crimson Makeup was startled, but she noticed that the anomalies who had broken into her home all wore expressions of watching a good show.

Screams echoed throughout the entire area, and the anomalies squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands shrank their necks.

It was their first time seeing a guy with a human aura torture an almost immortal anomaly until it wished for death.

As Fang Zhiyi's gaze swept over them, they all expressed their submission. The world of anomalies was very simple: if you are badass, you are the boss.

Even if they were reluctant, they could only join this faction.

However, this actually allowed these anomalies to find some amusement, a kind of fun they had never experienced before. They used to think humans were quite stupid, insisting on staying together to wait for death. Now they realized that when bored, staying together with other anomalies was actually quite interesting.

If there was really nothing to do, they could easily pluck off a fellow anomaly's head and toss it around for fun.

Moreover, the anomalies also realized one thing. When humans hunted them, it was usually a team of Guardians besieging a single anomaly. Humans thought it was normal, and the anomalies thought it was normal too. But ever since Fang Zhiyi started the war, this situation had changed. A human squad now had to face an equal number of high-level anomalies. This single factor alone caused the Guardians to suffer consecutive defeats.

However, human resistance did not stop. But facing the assembled high-level anomalies, the lethality they could inflict was extremely limited. And just when they thought the anomalies would only advance step by step, thereby stacking a large number of troops on a single route, the anomalies suddenly split their forces. Originally one army, it turned into five.

"Luyang City, Luyang City has been attacked by a red-clothed anomaly sitting on a branch! The garrison is completely wiped out! Repeat! The garrison is completely wiped out! The Guardian squad has surrendered! Bzz..."

"Yanshi, this is Yanshi! The anomaly on stilts has broken through the defense line. Our firepower can't hold them off at all. Requesting backup... Repeat..."

"Canglang City requesting backup! Requesting backup! Two flying anomalies suddenly attacked our stronghold! High-level anomalies have also appeared outside the city now!"

In just one morning, the calls for help never ceased, and those sending the distress signals were all top-tier squads from headquarters. These members were hailed as the pinnacle of humanity; they had fought against many high-level anomalies... But now, facing the assembled high-level anomalies, they seemed to have become meat on the chopping block.

Everyone at headquarters looked at a loss. How did things change so quickly? Clearly, these anomalies were still very easy to suppress before!

"Are they really going to exterminate humanity? Oh my god..."

"Urgent report! Reconnaissance battalion reporting!"

"The anomalies have started massing again, heading towards... our capital! But before they reach us, there are still Xixi and Yuehui City!"

"It seems we need to send people to face them head-on!" An old man slammed his hand hard on the table. "Right! What about Yumen City, which was heavily guarded before?"

"I... I don't know, we've lost contact."

"Bastards!"

Gu Heng, who was pouring water, knew his opportunity had arrived. He stepped right forward: "Former elite Guardian Gu Heng, requesting to be deployed!"

His volunteering had paid off. The elders tested his abilities and decided to let him join the assault team. They assigned him to a squad armed with an ample supply of new weapons. Faced with this opportunity to turn his life around, Gu Heng was incredibly excited.

Little did he know, these people merely intended for his team to slow down the advancing anomalies, buying themselves more time to flee.

Everything went exactly as he had envisioned. He marched with the assault team along the inevitable path of the anomalies, witnessing fleeing residents all along the way. As expected, they soon encountered the anomalies, and in no small numbers.
