Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 99 arrived like lightning!

The No. 71 fog will engulf half of the giant city in less than twenty minutes, swallowing more than two million humans within.

This is an irreversible fact.

Even on some streets in lower-lying areas, a thin mist has appeared.

Some people who couldn't evacuate in time have already disappeared into the fog.

If Benlei hadn't led his team underground to investigate and obtain prior intelligence, many more people would have been swallowed by the calamity fog in their sleep, unknowingly exposed to the danger of the swarming insects!

It was Benlei's desperate warning that prompted the authorities to respond, giving them a precious ten minutes or so of extra time.

All the city defense troops, militia, and border guards stationed in the giant city were mobilized.

People were mobilized as quickly as possible, and those near the edge of the fog-covered area were evacuated immediately.

Those who were too far from the edge to evacuate were gathered and taken to the nearest shelter.

Even if swallowed by the disaster fog, humanity still has the possibility of resistance.

To prevent the disaster fog from spreading further or escaping, humans will use the Hunyuan Banner to trap it.

They also sent distress signals to the other three great cities, assembled their legions, and began to conquer the calamity!
During this period, the humans who were swallowed by the disaster fog had to try their best to survive in the fog!
That's right, survive!

The fog of disaster will trap them, and as long as the humans within can hold out against the swarms of slaying insects until reinforcements from the major cities arrive, they will survive this calamity!
Upon receiving the message, Li Yelai immediately opened the map on his communicator and found the nearest shelter.

There are many underground shelters in the border city, some are underground parking lots, and some are underground subway platforms.

The characteristic of a unified system is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After all, the border city's mission is to face calamities.

The giant city had prepared contingency plans from the very beginning, and recently, in the face of the danger of the No. 71 Disaster Fog, the giant city has also made preparations to use the shelter.

Therefore, when the alarm sounded, many shelters began to efficiently accept refugees.

Many more residents, with the help of the military or psionicists, rushed to the shelters, hoping to reach them before the fog spread. This could save more lives.

Li Yelai's current mission is to go to the nearest shelter and use his combat power as a third-level psychic to strengthen its defenses.

Do everything you can to resist the danger until human reinforcements arrive!

Li Yelai suppressed the pounding in his heart and immediately headed to the shelter. In mid-air, he sent the blessing of "Be careful in everything" to Yang Chen, Wanou, Zhishi, and others.

And then came the bad news: her younger sister, Li Yunyan, was still unable to leave the Dongcheng area!

Fortunately, she was with the Soul Reapers, who provided her with ample protection.

This put Li Yelai at ease.

However, just after Li Yelai used his aerial stepping technique to rush about a kilometer away, he saw a group of people on the road.

That must have been a group heading to the shelter, consisting of men and women, young and old, about two hundred people, protected by a dozen or so city guards. They were moving quickly along the road.

There weren't many children in the group, since the priority for evacuating people from the giant city was women, children, and students.

Thinking to himself, Li Yelai used his aerial stepping technique to approach the group and quickly arrived at the front.

Leading the way at the front of the column were three fully armed city defense soldiers. They looked around warily and moved forward quickly, their eyes filled with tension and vigilance.

Upon seeing Li Yelai suddenly descend from the sky, the three leaders immediately raised their guns and aimed.

But after seeing the special operations uniform Li Yelai was wearing, their expressions improved considerably, and they even showed some surprise.

"A processor?" one of the soldiers, a square-faced man in his thirties, asked quickly.

"East City Branch, Team One, Night Executioner." Li Yelai approached carrying a large black umbrella, quickly identifying himself before continuing, "I'm here to help with the escort!"

"You've been a great help!" The square-faced soldier smiled, quickly saluted, and said, "I am Lieutenant Mao of the city defense force."

With the escort of the handlers, the safety of the team will be greatly improved.

From his conversation with Lieutenant Mao, Li Yelai learned that the team consisted of residents from a nearby residential area.

Although the authorities responded quickly, ordinary residents simply couldn't assemble instantly. By the time they finally managed to gather, they had very little time left.

The nearest shelter is currently about three kilometers away.

Normally, a distance of three kilometers can be covered with a simple press of the accelerator. However, due to the emergency evacuation, the roads are congested with a large number of unmanned vehicles.

Traffic was basically blocked, and the procession had to proceed on foot.

Judging from the timeline, they had no choice but to proceed through the fog.

In this situation, Li Ye's arrival was undoubtedly a shot in the arm.

The group did not linger but continued to move quickly toward the shelter.

Li Yelai's heart tightened, because just a few minutes after the group sped up, he could see a thin mist rising from the street in the distance.

Disaster fog!

These are the disaster fogs!

"In the end, we couldn't make it in time." Mao also looked at the approaching mist with a solemn expression.

The people behind him were also filled with fear.

The Cataclysmic Fog! The Cataclysmic Fog that once swallowed 70% of the world's population!

Hearing about such a calamity is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is quite another.

Fear spread through the ranks, and many people were consumed by it, their bodies stiffening.

Seeing this, Mao immediately ordered his soldiers to continue urging the troops to advance!

There's just over a kilometer left. If we speed up a bit more, we'll reach the safe shelter!
Fear also fueled the team's energy; the exhausted group mustered all their strength and started running wildly.

To prevent a stampede, more than a dozen soldiers ran back and forth.

However, two minutes later, the team was still shrouded in fog.

Like ordinary fog, it engulfed everyone without making them feel anything different.

But the ensuing fear silenced people completely.

Ultimately, it was swallowed up by the disaster fog.

The fog around them gradually thickened, reducing visibility.

This forced the team to slow down.

All the soldiers aimed their weapons at the fog, fearing that an enemy might suddenly emerge from within.

According to intelligence, the monsters in this disaster fog are swarms of killing insects!

According to official intelligence, this is a very terrifying and bizarre phenomenon.

They possess immense destructive power and sheer numbers, along with an extremely strong reproductive capacity. Given sufficient biomass nutrients, they will continuously generate new swarms.

It will not leave until it has devoured all the biomass within its range.

This intelligence comes from a powerful individual who fought his way back into the physical world from the fog of calamity during the Calamity Era.

And now, humanity will once again face this dangerous enemy!
Li Yelai took a deep breath and gripped the large black umbrella tightly. After confirming that all the thermal bombs inside were loaded, he cautiously looked around.

The dense fog gradually dissipated, greatly improving visibility. However, the sky and the edges remained shrouded in a dense, almost tangible fog.

Li Yelai realized that he had been completely swallowed up by the disaster fog.

Unless the Lord of the Disaster Fog is destroyed, no life form in the Disaster Fog can leave it!

At this moment, Li Yelai heard faint gunshots coming from various places, indicating that enemies and human troops had already clashed.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yelai said, "Keep going, but be careful of all the surroundings and try not to make any noise."

Lieutenant Mao nodded solemnly, and then the column continued forward. Many held their breath, afraid of making any noise that might attract the enemy. Perhaps they were lucky, or perhaps the retreating columns had drawn the enemy's attention.

Surprisingly, they didn't encounter any enemies along the way.

When Li Yelai and his group rounded a corner, they saw the shelter, fortified with defensive works, in the distance.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, only a few hundred meters away from the shelter, the escort is about to end.

Li Yelai's expression changed. As a third-level psychic with enhanced killing intent, his physical strength surpassed that of other third-level psychics. His hearing and perception were extremely sharp.

At that moment, he heard a roar that grew louder as it approached, and felt the ground shaking more clearly.

Something enormous is rapidly approaching!
Li Yelai immediately roared, "Full speed ahead! Hurry!"

At the same time, they set up a large black umbrella to cover the rear.

Mao was also taken aback, but before he could ask any more questions, he too felt the intense tremor.

He immediately ordered the troops to advance at full speed, no longer needing to conceal any sounds. The soldiers prepared for battle!

Meanwhile, inside a shelter several hundred meters away, people noticed the group and immediately dispatched several handlers to provide support.

However, in the next second, a huge creature rushed out from around the corner at the back of the group.

Was that a dinosaur?

It stands about five meters tall, with pinkish-white scales and skin, and thick black fur growing from its shoulders, giving it a darker overall color.

Flames were held in its mouth, as if it were about to spew them out at any moment.

It had numerous wounds on its body.

This is the Fire Crocodile Dragon from the Doomsday Forest!

Isn't this supposed to be about killing insect swarms? How come there are supernatural creatures from the apocalyptic forest here?
Could it be that the No. 71 Disaster Fog devoured the extraordinary creatures in the Doomsday Forest before, and hasn't finished eating them all yet? Is it still hunting?

A moment of surprise flashed through Li Yelai's mind, but the next moment, the surprise turned into ruthlessness.

He aimed the black umbrella at the Fire Crocodile Dragon, which was more than ten meters away, and used it to melt it!
The scorching hot molten liquid struck the Fire Crocodile Dragon's short left hand directly.

In an instant, the Fire Crocodile Dragon let out an extremely angry roar.

But he ignored Li Yelai's attack and continued to accelerate forward, disregarding the human team and Li Yelai.

Li Yelai was taken aback, then his expression turned to shock.

The Fire Crocodile Dragon wasn't trying to attack the human group; it was simply fleeing in panic.

Because behind it, swarms of insects swarmed in!

Dozens of beetles, each the size of a washbasin and equipped with sharp mouthparts, were rapidly flapping their wings in pursuit of the fleeing Fire Crocodile Dragon.

There were also a large number of large burrowing insects rolling closer on the ground.

One of the rolling bugs approached the Fire Crocodile Dragon, suddenly leaped up, grabbed the Fire Crocodile Dragon's right hind leg, and then exploded with a bang.

The Fire Crocodile Dragon, which was running at full speed, was blasted to the ground.

The next moment, more and more rolling bugs pounced on the Fire Crocodile Dragon, causing a series of explosions!

The Fire Crocodile Dragon's body was covered in bloodstains.

It let out a terrifying roar, twisting its body wildly and crushing many rolling insects. At the same time, flames spewed from its mouth, blasting any insects that approached it to pieces.

However, this still couldn't stop the swarm's attack. Beetles pounced on the Fire Crocodile Dragon, their sharp mandibles piercing its skin and scales. Then, they violently tore off chunks of flesh.

The Fire Crocodile Dragon, whose strength was comparable to that of a fourth-level psionicist, was severely injured in the swarm of insects.

At that moment, he couldn't care less about the pain all over his body and struggled to twist his body and shake off the insects.

It struggled to its feet, dragging its mangled body with bones exposed, and fled in a sorry state to a more distant place, with the swarm of insects in hot pursuit.

Like a grand feast, they charged relentlessly towards the Fire Crocodile Dragon until they were completely devoured!
Li Yelai felt his blood run cold. This was the swarm of killing insects! Dangerous and ferocious!

Seeing the swarm of insects suddenly split up and rush towards the back of the human group, Li Yelai suppressed his unease and decisively leaped forward to block the insects.

Li Yelai gripped the bottom of the black umbrella handle with one hand, pivoted on his left foot, and rotated his right foot while exhaling and shouting.

Spinning like a top, it charges forward and crashes into the swarm of insects!
The heavy, large black umbrella swung, smashing all the approaching beetles to pieces.

Crimson blood dripped onto the ground, creating a bizarre scene.

Li Yelai's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that a single beetle posed no real danger, as it lacked a psionic barrier. However, once their numbers increased, neither psionicists nor extraordinary beings would be able to withstand them. It was crucial to avoid being continuously besieged by the swarm.

At this moment, the soldiers who remained at the rear of the column also opened fire.

Eliminate the last few insects.

The human team escorted by Li Yelai had already approached the shelter and was being met by soldiers inside.

Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties.

But in the distance, a red flare rose into the sky.

Was that a distress signal from an official member?
Li Yelai saw that the entire team had entered the shelter.

He immediately summoned the Thunder-Treading Dragon Steed and leaped into the air.

On the other side, in the midst of a fierce battle.

Gunfire continued unabated, tearing apart countless swarms of insects, yet even more swarms surged forth.

At the rear of the group, Cheese coldly watched the monster emerge from the ruins. Its dinosaur-like body was covered in black carapace, and it possessed four powerful arms with sharp claws. A sharp spike pierced the tip of its tail, which dragged on the ground.

This is a hunting bug from the swarm. It possesses powerful melee destructive force and defensive capabilities.

That was it just now; it tore the two Iron Guards clearing the way to shreds and killed several civilians.

Only when the escorting psionicists joined forces could they barely hold it back.

The cheese had just smashed the supporting pillar and buried it in the rubble, but it still couldn't destroy it.

Looking at the swarms of insects rushing in from all sides, Cheese felt a sinking feeling in his heart; things weren't looking good.

Without support, the psionicists might be able to escape, but the civilians...
"Are you all alright?" Cheese asked in a low voice, with two other injured staff members behind her.

They were ambushed by a swarm of insects while facing the hunting insects and were seriously injured.

"Of course!" The middle-aged handler, clutching his bent arm, grinned and replied, "I can take on ten more!"

The young, scarred worker gazed at Cheese's pretty profile. His eyes darted around in thought before he spoke firmly.

"I'll hold it off, you guys go first!"

"Don't push yourself. You guys aren't in the right condition to hold it off. Let me handle this. You guys lead the team." Cheese's gaze was somber, which made the young processor feel a pang of heartache.

However, the next second, he saw a glint of light and a smile appear in Cheese's beautiful eyes.

At that moment, the world in her eyes brightened up.

Cheese looked up and laughed, "You've come at just the right time."

Support? He subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The hunting insect also looked up.

It keenly sensed the approaching danger.

The moment it looked up, it saw a bolt of lightning!
The man, holding a black umbrella and riding a fine horse, arrived like lightning!
