Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 120 A Battle to Determine Victory!

Although the formidable enemy that Li Yelai was bound to encounter was dangerous, it was still limited in scope. Even if misfortune was composed of a series of 'accidents', it would not be able to directly lure the King of the Forbidden Zone from an extremely long distance.

The only way to deliver a powerful enemy to Li Yelai is through various coincidences within the available resources.

However, the influence of the Möbius strip is very extensive!

As long as Li Yelai is in the chaotic space of the Möbius strip, the Möbius strip will send the most dangerous area to Li Yelai!
The most dangerous area in the underground labyrinth is the area where the flesh and blood barrier, where the Lord of Calamity Mist resides, is located.

This is equivalent to using a Möbius strip to amplify the scope of Li Yelai's misfortune.

If Li Yelai were to attempt to open the Möbius Loop alone, he would inevitably encounter formidable enemies, and virtually none of them would survive.

This is bad luck.

But this is exactly what the authorities, and even humanity as a whole, need!

"Praise be to misfortune!" one captain exclaimed. "As long as the Night Generals are unlucky enough, misfortune will send us crashing headlong into a wall of flesh and blood!"

"In this way, as long as we deploy enough combat power and legions around Night General, we won't have to expend a lot of manpower to cross the underground labyrinth and directly face the flesh barrier and the swarm overlord!" an advisor said excitedly. "Without being consumed by the swarm and the labyrinth, our casualties will be greatly reduced!"

"At that time, while we are still at our peak, as long as we hold on until the Shattering Star Spear pierces through the flesh barrier, we will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the Calamity Mist Overlord for the Old Mad King!"

"We're all at our peak, are we afraid of a mere insect master? Let's surround it and kick it!"

"That's right, let it be just a bug serving all of us! Let's kill it! Maybe we won't even need Old Mad King to lift a finger!"

"Quick! Quickly calculate the most suitable location for the Möbius strip to go out of control! Make sure it covers the depths of the maze!"

Upon confirming this information, the official team leader and various advisors immediately began calculating the feasibility of the plan, including determining the limits of the Möbius strip's influence.

This is also a risky operation!

The Möbius strip labyrinth and Li Yelai's misfortune are both indispensable.

It could even be said that the most crucial element was Li Yelai's misfortune.

To actually place humanity's last hope on one person's luck? To outsiders, this is a shocking and absolutely unacceptable plan.

It's important to understand that if the plan fails, the main human force, also lost in the Möbius strip labyrinth, will be utterly destroyed. They will be consumed and overwhelmed by an endless swarm of insects in the chaotic space.

At that time, humanity will truly have lost all hope.

That endless despair will crush humanity's last shred of courage like an iron curtain.

This will be a huge gamble!
Let's bet that Li Yelai is unlucky enough, and that his misfortune is powerful enough!
But at this moment, no one questioned Li Yelai's misfortune.

Because his bad luck is really strong.
Since Li Yelai became a psychic, everything that has happened to him has proven his bad luck. This has given everyone a lot of confidence in him. Everyone thinks he's unlucky enough.

Sword Madman stared at Li Ye for a long time before finally nodding and saying, "Then I'll leave it to you, General Ye!"

"I will do everything in my power!" Li Yelai nodded, his face as resolute as steel.

He has the strongest conviction about his misfortune!

Ultimately, the psionic phased array project was cancelled and replaced with the maze-turning-corner project. The hope was that they would encounter the Insect Lord around the corner.
Then, the meeting ended.

Sword Madman looked at Li Ye and said, "Rest well and wait for the plan to be fully finalized. That will be the day we launch our final attack. During this time, be careful and don't risk leaving the shelter. Your safety is crucial to the success or failure of the plan."

Li Yelai nodded; he naturally knew the importance of the matter.

If something happens to me and the plan fails, I will be a sinner for all time.

The plush toy beside it held up a sign that read, "[I will definitely protect him! ψ(*｀ー)ψ]"
Sword Madman was taken aback, then nodded and smiled, "Then I'll leave it to you. Stay by Night General's side until the mission begins."

[Uh-huh!()]
Although the doll possesses five senses, she is still considered a captain-level powerhouse. With her protection, Li Yelai's safety is indeed guaranteed.

This shows how much importance is placed on Li Yelai.

In the coming period, the authorities will need to mobilize the legions, allocate the combat power of various shelters, and even transport various forbidden items.

As for the specific details of the plan, the authorities probably won't tell the other processors and the human legion, otherwise letting them know that they're entrusting their lives to Li Yelai's luck would likely have some adverse effects.

During this time, Li Yelai can rest and recover from his arm injury, so that he can participate in the mission in the best possible condition.

His arm injury had not fully healed, but in order to lure out the Imperial Guard Insects, he immediately joined the battle, which made his wound even more painful.

It got to the point where I couldn't fall asleep.

Seeing that Li Yelai looked pained, the doll anxiously went to the medical area and retrieved a lot of painkillers. However, the effect was not significant; Li Yelai's body had become immune to the effects of many medications.

Fortunately, Cheese returned to the shelter.

They found Li Yelai immediately and used their abilities to shield him from pain once again. At least that would allow him to get a good night's sleep.

Li Yelai clenched his fist and replied, "My injuries should be healed soon too."

Cheese glanced at the plush toy beside him and asked, "What's going on with you guys? You're going on a date behind my back, aren't you? Count me in!"

Upon hearing this, the doll quickly waved her hand, and the pretty face under the headgear turned bright red.

[No, no (ヾ)]
[I just... just wanted to protect his safety (ω)]
"Stop bullying her, you really keep spouting nonsense." Li Yelai complained, then hesitated for a moment before revealing the maze corner plan to Cheese.

After hearing the shocking plan, Cheese paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't reveal this plan to anyone else. Nobody wants to put all their hopes on your luck!"

“I know,” Li Yelai replied. “I only told you.”

“Of course, we’re like family.” Cheese’s eyes crinkled into a smile, and he continued, “Theoretically, this plan has a high success rate and the cost is less than other plans. But you will be facing the danger head-on.”

Indeed, both the psionic phased array plan and the maze corner plan will force Li Yelai, a third-awakening psionicist, to confront the insect lord directly.

This is the biggest threat!

The Insect Lord's current combat strength is unknown. Judging from its behavior of escaping the forbidden zone, its strength is not at the monarch level, but it is estimated to be at the seventh or even eighth level!

Those captains with exceptional strength might be able to hold out against such powerful individuals.

However, if Li Yelai, who has reached the third level of awakening, were caught in the crossfire, he would probably die.

The two sides are on completely different levels.

Li Yelai nodded. He naturally knew this; encountering a powerful enemy was indeed a misfortune.

However, with Mr. Shadow around, Li Yelai wasn't too worried about his own safety; he was more concerned about surviving as many of his comrades as possible.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed this plan. According to the original psionic phased array plan, after sacrificing so many teammates, his mission was to use the inevitable encounters with powerful enemies to pinpoint the Zerg Lord's location. Now, he's going to venture deep into the underground labyrinth with the main force, enduring the Zerg swarm's attacks for a period of time. The level of danger has actually increased.

"You're certainly brave and selfless," Cheese murmured. "Don't die, or I won't even be able to collect your body."

Li Yelai nodded: "Don't worry, I'm unlikely to die."

Cheese continued to watch Li Yelai in silence, fully aware of the danger of this mission.

As for myself, a level three psychic, even on the battlefield, next to Li Yelai, I probably wouldn't change the outcome.

She simply didn't possess the extraordinary talent and powerful psychic abilities of a doll.
After a brief hesitation, Cheese suddenly approached Li Yelai, put her hands on his shoulders, and stood on tiptoe to bring her face close to his.

Li Yelai froze as he looked at the beautiful face that suddenly approached.

Meanwhile, a bunch of gibberish appeared on the advertising board held by the doll next to it.

"Listen to me, live on!" Cheese whispered in Li Yelai's ear, the warm breath sending a shiver down Li Yelai's spine.

Then, Cheese stepped back, ate a candy, and said with a teasing smile, "You didn't think I was going to kiss you, did you? Look how scared you are, doll."

Li Yelai pinched his slightly burning ears to suppress the agitation in his heart and asked, "What is that?"

"It's a hint, I hope it can save your life in a dangerous situation." Cheese replied, "This is my second awakening ability, which will be automatically triggered under certain specific circumstances. It can either forcibly awaken a person who is in a daze, or make the target burst out with a strong will to survive."

"I don't have the strength of a doll, so I might not be able to participate in any missions. I hope this helps."

Li Yelai nodded: "Thank you, but it would be even better if you didn't scare me. I feel like you're taking advantage of me."

[That's right! ￣へ￣] The doll also chimed in, holding up an advertising sign. She had been startled just now too.

"Alright, I'll let you take it back next time." Cheese shrugged and chuckled.

"You wish!" Li Yelai retorted.

The doll, on the other hand, felt it had been wronged and had suffered a great loss.
[Cheese, naughty! (；д｀)ゞ]
Jing Lin, who was not far away, watched the three laughing and joking, and slapped his thigh in regret: "What's going on? Blood is flowing like a river? Why didn't they start fighting? Damn it!"

Soon, as time went by, more and more night spies rushed to the East City branch, and forbidden items from several other branches were also delivered one after another.

To complete the maze-turning-corner plan, the official team assembled a large number of high-level combatants.

More than 500 psionicists.

These psychics are all elite night watchmen or senior agents from various branches.

They are at least level four psychic abilities!
Furthermore, there are eight captain-level powerhouses, as well as the current official strongest, Sword Maniac, who is also in charge.

More than 500 psionicists of the fourth level or above, eight captains, including a sword maniac of the seventh level.

They can be described as the most powerful and elite force among humans in the fog of disaster!
This is also the limit that can be allocated while ensuring the safety of other shelters!

Furthermore, the authorities also provided many forbidden items for the use of the psionicists.

Li Yelai even saw the Black Dragon Armor.

Yes, when that time comes, there will inevitably be psionicists who will choose to wear the Black Dragon Armor and unleash their powerful combat strength at the cost of their own lives.

Hopefully, it won't come to that.

After multiple tests and calculations by the authorities, the specific details of the operation were finalized.

The Möbius strip's influence will gradually spread, in order to ensure that it can affect the bottom layer of the maze.

The official force must take the Möbius strip about 400 meters underground before letting it go out of control.

With all personnel in place, numerous psionicists gathered behind the branch's defensive fortifications, awaiting the order to activate.

"Finally, it's about to begin," Jing Lin in the team exhaled, trying to calm himself down.

As a fourth-sense psychic, although not an official, he was also invited and volunteered to join the operation.

Other members of the Jing family kept trying to persuade him to stay in the shelter and wait for the authorities to finish their work, but he understood the importance of this operation.

“It was my fault for saying that the Yaoqing Jing family lacked backbone, and I apologize,” Li Yelai said, standing beside him.

"Hey, you flatter me. If the plan fails, everyone will die from the insect swarm. I might as well take the risk!" Jing Lin grinned. "It wouldn't be an insult to the name of my Yaoqing Jing family."

Li Yelai nodded. It could be said that Jing Lin alone had greatly improved Li Yelai's and even the official's attitude towards the Yaoqing Jing family.

If everyone in the Jing family were like Jing Lin, fighting for humanity and not holding anyone back.

The authorities wouldn't mind maintaining a cooperative relationship with them.

"Don't die, my friend," Li Yelai said.

“You too, my friend,” Jing Lin replied with a smile.

At that moment, Sword Maniac's voice rang out from the fortifications: "Gentlemen, this battle will decide the outcome! For humanity, for the Great City! Charge with me!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Sword Madman!" the processors responded in unison.

The next second, several captains and the Sword Maniac were the first to leap into the air, followed by more than five hundred psionicists. They used aerial stepping, walking on air!

Like a night sky, it enveloped the swarm of insects.

The strongest human forces in the disaster fog have been mobilized!

In an instant, the swarm of insects wandering near the shelter was wiped out. Even the higher insectoids were not spared.

Li Yelai was eliminated by his teammates ahead before he even saw the swarm of insects.

A well-organized army of psionicists is not something these lowly insectoid swarms can stop!

Deep within the flesh-and-blood barrier of the underground labyrinth, the Swarm Overlord gazed thoughtfully toward the surface.

'Humans have launched a full-scale attack? It seems that human psionicist smuggled information about my location out. That's part of the plan. But with so few people, they think they can break through my defenses?'

It let out a mocking laugh. Its command was given, and the swarm of insects in the underground labyrinth moved accordingly.

Billions of Zerg will form the most formidable defensive line, exhausting humanity's last remaining strength to resist!

'I'll see how you break through my defenses and get to me!'
