Under the blood moon, most of the cities in the world were shrouded in an impenetrable darkness.
Within the darkness, the faint lights of safe zones flickered, and countless bloodthirsty monsters awaited a bloody hunt.
Across the globe, the sounds of cannons and firearms echoed, the roars of human civilization’s might in defiance of these otherworldly monsters.
Although in a few cities, humans had gained a respite after clearing out large numbers of low-level monsters.
Yet, across the entire world, darkness was the absolute theme at this moment.
Countless human strongholds were overrun by monsters surging from the darkness, their screams piercing the night under the blood moon.
Soldiers in the trenches gazed at the endless enemy, their eyes filled with weariness and despair. Civilians within the safe zones listened to the monsters' roars, fear and panic spreading. xxs one
As the doomsday game began to reveal its initial fangs, humanity, facing this sudden, unknown power, appeared so fragile.
However, as countless tragedies unfolded that night,
On the eastern lands of this planet, a completely different light ignited!
....
In Dayan, Donghai City, Binhai District, at the main entrance of the comic convention venue,
After Chen Luo’s declaration, he strode towards the entrance, facing the increasingly frenzied wolf pack. The magical fluctuations emanating from Chen Luo’s body became more frequent.
The wolf pack also noticed Chen Luo’s presence.
When the first Night Wolf saw Chen Luo approaching the entrance, its ingrained hatred, a "perpetual blood feud," drove it to charge without hesitation towards the safety zone’s light circle that still existed before it.
Hiss!!
Unlike when Chen Luo had blasted them in earlier, this time, the malevolent Night Wolf, upon merely touching the light circle, emitted a piercing, sharp sound.
The safety zone’s light circle seemed to recognize whether the Night Wolf intended to voluntarily enter it.
This Night Wolf, which actively crossed the safety zone’s boundary, accompanied by a sharp sound, turned into a wisp of ash directly outside the safety zone’s light circle.
But the death of this single Night Wolf was merely the beginning! All the Night Wolves gathered by the entrance saw Chen Luo emerge. Their eyes were blood-red, and they charged towards the safety zone’s light circle without hesitation.
The light circle faithfully fulfilled its duty, eliminating all enemies who actively attacked with malice. However, the light circle, which had already shrunk to less than thirty centimeters, now shook violently under the impact.
Chen Luo, observing the Night Wolves’ suicidal charge, instantly understood the cause and effect:
“You’re so eager to kill me?”
The wolf pack did not answer, or rather, their continuous charge, expending their lives to wear down the light circle, was the best answer.
The ferocity of these Night Wolves was enough to chill the blood of anyone who knew.
But Chen Luo’s gaze was equally bone-chilling:
“Coincidentally, I’m also very eager to kill you quickly!”
Looking at the rapidly shrinking, even precarious safety zone light circle before him, Chen Luo stepped forward without hesitation:
“Tonight, I will stand here, and let’s see if it’s me who dies! Or you who perish!”
The warriors, who had already donned their equipment, stood guard silently by the entrance.
The monsters’ ferocity inevitably instilled a touch of fear in these young men who had lived in peaceful times.
Chen Luo, standing before everyone, seemed to sense the unease of his subordinates.
Chen Luo’s gaze, hidden beneath his sunglasses, was fixed on the frenzied wolf pack before him.
The next moment, he raised his right hand high and shouted loudly:
“All combat teams! Prepare for battle!!!”
“Guard our backs!!!”
“Tonight, I’ll let you all have a good fight!!!”
“My back, Chen Luo’s back, is entrusted to you all!!”
Hearing Chen Luo’s words, spoken loudly for the first time, and seeing him stand alone before thousands of wolves, his figure beneath the long robe appeared incredibly majestic.
Feeling the determination and spirit in Chen Luo’s words, a power called courage surged within them.
Everyone roared back in unison:
“Yes! Boss!!!”
Crack!
A crack suddenly appeared on the light circle. The three hundred warriors, their blood boiling, showed no panic in their eyes.
They simply tightened their grip on their iron rods, their gazes fixed on the man in front of them, who was their beacon.
Bang!!!
It was the umpteenth Night Wolf that had crashed into the light circle, but this time, the Night Wolf did not turn to ash.
Instead, the light circle, with a burst of sound, shattered into countless light spots, scattering amidst the falling snow.
The ecstatic Night Wolves, without a moment’s hesitation, lunged towards the man so close to them!
But what greeted its gaping maw was a searing fireball plummeting directly down!
Boom!
The fireball accurately entered the Night Wolf’s mouth, and terrifying heat and light instantly erupted within the wolf. This fearsome beast, one meter tall and two meters long, turned to ash before it could even let out a howl.
[Killed Night Wolf x1, gained 200 experience points, Fireball proficiency +1]
Perhaps the shattering of the light circle was too sudden, and apart from the Night Wolf that Chen Luo had blasted, the entire Night Wolf pack momentarily froze in place.
The illumination of the light circle completely vanished. The entire comic convention venue was left with only the faint glow of electric lights, but the light of human technology could not illuminate the dense darkness before them.
Under the faint light, the warriors within the gate, weapons in hand, and the wolf pack outside, baring their fangs, stood in a peculiar silence, locked in a standoff.
Only Chen Luo, standing between them, his dazzling magical fluctuations never ceasing.
Chen Luo looked at the wolf pack, now unimpeded, casually caught a falling six-pointed snowflake, and a defiant smile curved his lips:
“Come.”
Chen Luo casually dropped the snowflake. A third of a breath later, the snowflake landed.
The snow fell gently and silently, but at the same instant, thunder suddenly boomed from a clear sky!
It was the tide-like wolf pack, driven to madness by an unknown will at this moment!
The boundless wolf pack, under the control of some inexplicable will, charged madly towards the safety zone!
They had only one thought!
With claws! With fangs! Tear apart everything before them!
Facing the ferocious wolf pack, Chen Luo calmly raised his right hand, formed a aiming gesture, and softly said:
“Bang!”
The narrow space in front of Chen Luo, which should have been engulfed by the wolf pack in the next second, was instead filled with hundreds of bright sparks that materialized from the void.
The light and heat of the magic illuminated the dark night, making the ferocious faces of the Night Wolves all too clear.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment!
Under Chen Luo’s will, the fireballs transformed into a hundred streams of light!
They hurtled towards the wolf pack charging from all directions!
The bloody battle of the first night of the apocalypse! Began thus!
