Upon seeing this, Sasaki and the others' expressions changed slightly, and their eyes revealed a hint of gloom.
The actions of Ishihara Tenki and others were undoubtedly a demonstration of force, and they had to respond with corresponding momentum, otherwise they would likely be constrained at every turn in the following actions.
All eyes turned to Chang Wei and Tang Yingtong, who were currently the only ones capable of contending with the opponent's top evolved beings.
Just as Tang Yingtong was about to speak, Chang Wei smiled coldly, took a step forward, and his aura surged out like a storm.
boom!
This aura was as heavy as a mountain and as sharp as a knife, making Uesugi Yu, Kotaro, and the others present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
449 Tripartite Alliance
Although they knew that Chang Wei's level was only at the peak of level seven, which was not much different from theirs, his terrifying aura still made them feel frightened.
What a terrifying aura!
This is absolutely a top-tier expert!
No wonder he was a peerless master who could kill Mad Blade!
They all had the same thought in their minds.
Chang Wei's voice rang out calmly: "I am Chang Wei, a Level 7 Evolver. Thank you to all my friends in Shinjuku City for your help."
After he finished speaking, the terrifying aura emanating from him instantly subsided, and the mountain-like pressure dissipated as well.
Uesugi Yu and the others on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were not afraid, the soldiers behind them could not withstand such prolonged pressure. Once they collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, before they could fully relax, Tang Yingtong had already taken a step forward, looking at them with a cold gaze: I am Tang Yingtong, the Imperial Tutor.
Behind Tang Yingtong, a phantom of a phoenix flashed by, followed by a surge of immense power that far surpassed the pressure Chang Wei had previously displayed. It was like the rising sun, possessing the power to burn everything, yet within this intense heat, it also subtly revealed an unparalleled nobility.
Although this aura was brief, it was enough to make the people on the other side feel immense pressure. Their bones seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, making cracking sounds, and their bodies were almost about to succumb to this force.
However, Uesugi Yu and the others only trembled slightly before regaining their balance, but the astonishment and shock on their faces were hard to hide, and their eyes all turned to Ido Kageto.
"Just who is this woman? Her aura is so terrifying."
"Compared to Chang Wei, he seems to be even more powerful. Could he be an even stronger master?"
"I sensed an indescribable sense of nobility. Could this be the legendary aura of the phoenix?"
“I also saw the phoenix’s phantom. I thought it was an illusion, but I didn’t expect you to have seen it too.”
Whispers rose and fell, and the eyes of the crowd were filled with awe and fear as they stared intently at Tang Yingtong.
Tang Yingtong's face was slightly pale at this moment. In order to intimidate her opponents, she disregarded her own safety and forcibly activated her awakened ability.
Although it has a strong momentum, it is actually like a paper tiger, and it will collapse at the first touch.
However, the effect at this moment is already sufficient.
Seeing this, Chang Wei shook his head slightly and gestured to Hoshino Ai beside him.
Hoshino Aixin understood and quietly released rays of milky white light, which silently merged into Tang Yingtong's body to help her recover from her injuries.
Tang Yingtong felt her injuries healing rapidly and knew that Hoshino Ai was secretly helping her. She remained expressionless, pretending nothing was wrong.
Seeing that his own morale had been severely damaged, and fearing that Chang Wei and the others might use further force, Ishihara Tenki quickly stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Haha, we've heard of Captain Chang Wei's name for a long time!"
After saying that, he turned to Tang Yingtong, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, "This must be the legendary Fire Phoenix who shone brightly in Tokyo!"
I have long held the Imperial Tutor's heroic deeds in high esteem, and dreamed of fighting alongside them against the zombies, reclaiming our lost territory in Tokyo, and bringing peace to humanity. However, the world was in turmoil, and I was busy with many affairs at the time, unable to send reinforcements as I had hoped. This has become a great regret in my heart.
Later, upon learning of the Emperor's death and the Imperial Tutor's crushing defeat, my heart was filled with grief and regret. Ishihara Tenkei's voice revealed an undisguised sorrow, and his expression shocked Chang Wei and the others, who could not determine whether it was a genuine expression of his feelings.
However, now that we have a common goal and can fight side by side, my heart is filled with joy and anticipation!
A joyful smile instantly bloomed on Ishihara Tenkei's face, as if the joy was welling up from the depths of his heart.
However, upon witnessing this scene, Chang Wei and the others felt a sense of unease, and they all thought of the same word—acting skills.
They knew perfectly well that Ishihara Tenkei's words were not entirely credible, but they also understood that they would need to join forces with Ishihara Tenkei and the others in the upcoming battle.
The group continued exchanging pleasantries. Ishihara Tenki made no mention of his previous attempt to recruit Chang Wei, and Chang Wei acted as if nothing had happened. They were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, exchanging warm greetings and enthusiasm.
Tang Yingtong muttered to herself: What a bunch of hypocrites.
Haha, I'm different, I'm a real scoundrel. As if he heard Tang Yingtong's mutterings, Chang Wei turned his head and winked at her, a soft voice reaching her ears.
Tang Yingtong was stunned and glared at Chang Wei.
……
Inside the tent, the three parties took their seats as host and guest, and Sasaki first recounted their ordeal.
When he heard that there were nearly a hundred special zombies in front of the granary, even a level eight evolved being like Uesugi Yu's expression changed. He knew that if he faced these zombies alone, even he would inevitably die from exhaustion.
When they heard the description of the magical zombies, everyone's expressions became even more solemn.
Two dazzling beams of light struck the two top experts present, severely injuring them.
Then, everyone's expression turned serious.
The combined forces of the three major powers have set off!
My Tang Yingtong's strength is still unknown to them, but that attack just now was enough for them to get a glimpse of it.
As for Chang Wei, they were already well aware of his abilities. To be able to severely injure Chang Wei with a beam of light, the opponent's strength must be above level eight.
Chang Wei then revealed the characteristics of the magical zombies to everyone:
The beams they emitted were far more powerful than their actual level, meaning that the two seemingly level eight magical zombies were actually approaching level nine in terms of the power of their beams.
Upon hearing this, Uesugi Yu, Kotaro, Kongou, Ishihara Tenkei, and the others felt their confidence shatter like fallen leaves scattered by the cold wind, leaving only a few scattered fragments.
However, when the existence of the zombie king was mentioned, their expressions became as stiff as if they were frozen.
"Are we here to die?" This thought simultaneously arose in the minds of Uesugi Yu, Kotaro, and the others.
They came full of confidence, bringing their strongest forces, hoping to get a share of the spoils, but reality dealt them blow after blow, shattering their morale.
They looked helplessly at Sasaki, who was constantly describing the dangers ahead.
Seemingly feeling tired, Sasaki stopped narrating, took a sip of water, looked at the dejected Ishihara Tenkei and the others, smiled slightly, and changed the subject:
"Actually, there's no need for everyone to be so discouraged. Although those 550 special zombies are powerful, they are not invincible. As long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to defeat them."
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and the previously gloomy atmosphere was instantly dispelled.
Ishihara Tenkei looked at Sasaki Suke with suspicion: "You have a way to deal with those zombies?"
Sasaki looked at the expectant gazes of the crowd and shook his head with a smile: "I don't have that kind of ability. However, Captain Chang Wei is here, you can ask him."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chang Wei, and Uesugi Yu and the others showed some doubt on their faces.
They knew Chang Wei's strength, but he was already injured. What else could they do?
Chang Wei remained calm and unmoved despite the stares of Shangshan Yu and the others.
He explained softly, "Actually, the zombie king isn't that difficult to deal with. The real troublesome ones are the two magical zombies beside him. As long as we manage to get close to the king, I'm confident I can subdue him."
He paused for a moment, looking at the curious eyes of the crowd, and continued, "I plan to form an elite team composed of evolved beings to go directly into the core of the zombie horde. The others will be responsible for holding back those special zombies, Shangshan Yu and Ying Tong will be responsible for dealing with the two magical zombies, and I will focus on attacking the zombie king."
“Once you have each dealt with your opponents, we will combine our strength to deal with the zombie king. I believe that even if his power is comparable to that of a level nine evolved being, we will be able to suppress him.”
Chang Wei's words brought a glimmer of light to everyone's eyes, as if dispelling the fog before them.
"good idea!"
Ishihara Tenkei was the first to express his admiration.
He had been worried about being sent to fight the strongest zombie king, but now he only needs to deal with magical zombies, which greatly reduces the pressure.
He originally thought that Chang Wei and the others would treat him as cannon fodder and was prepared to turn against them, but to his surprise, they took on the most difficult task, which gradually dissipated his wariness and vigilance towards Chang Wei and the others.
"It seems they really intend to work together."
Such a thought flashed through Ishihara Tenkei's mind.
Even Shangshan Yu, Kotaro, Kong, and others did not object and expressed satisfaction with Chang Wei's arrangement.
Seeing that Ishihara Tenki and the others had no objections, a barely perceptible hint of indifference flashed in Chang Wei's eyes, but he sneered inwardly.
In the twilight of the apocalypse, did they really believe they were generous saviors, willing to selflessly fight against the rampaging zombie king?
However, in these end times, every decision seems especially heavy.
As night fell, Ishihara Tenkei and his companions sat around the campfire, discussing their upcoming mission.
They were initially dissatisfied with the 20% of the grain allocated to them and hoped to receive more. However, after a series of events, they gradually realized that having 20% was already a great privilege.
Therefore, they did not bring it up again and simply accepted the outcome silently.
The night was as dark as ink, with countless stars dotting the deep night sky, and a bright moon hanging high, casting a soft glow.
I, Tang Yingtong, stood alone on a boulder, gazing at the bright moon, a strange feeling welling up in my heart.
She felt an indescribable loneliness and powerlessness, as if she were drifting further and further away from this world.
"Tang Yingtong, what are you thinking about?" A gentle voice broke her reverie. She turned around and saw Chang Wei, who was wearing a coat and gently draped it over her shoulders.
