"Divine Creatures are themselves ticking time bombs—one slip and they’ll level this whole place. When he went to hunt that Divine Creature, it wasn’t for himself, it was for the settlement, for everyone here."

"He just failed. Who can succeed forever? Even him, in the end, lost."

"This was a failure he chose for himself. You don’t need to grieve too much. Since it was his own choice, this outcome was already decided."

"If you ask me, it’s that leader’s seat that really ruins people—makes you unknowingly shoulder too much responsibility, forces you to keep stepping forward, until the pressure crushes the breath out of you."

"If he weren’t the leader of this settlement, maybe he wouldn’t have made a decision like that."

"What a pain～"

Yi Xiaodong sighed again, rubbed his nose with his hand, and couldn’t help saying, "Can you not smoke indoors, especially when I’m here? I’m allergic to that stuff!"

Xu Jie ground the cigarette out in the ashtray and said in a low voice, "If you agree to become the leader of the settlement, I’ll stop smoking indoors, and I won’t smoke in front of you."

Yi Xiaodong smiled. "That counts as a condition?"

"Yes, it’s a condition," Xu Jie said firmly.

Dong dong dong～

At that moment.

The sound of knocking came, a little rushed.

A team member wearing a green helmet strode in, panting heavily as he said, "Leader, we just did Observation and found a large Undead Tide entering here from the Forbidden Zone, and it’s very close—less than six kilometers from the settlement!"

Yi Xiaodong still seemed calm, speaking unhurriedly, "A large Undead Tide? How large?"

The team member in the dark green helmet replied, "According to our Observation estimate, at least forty thousand, and the number is still increasing."

"What!" Yi Xiaodong shot up from his chair, his face changing drastically. "This has to be an Undead Tide being guided by a High-tier Zombie. Otherwise there’s no way such a massive Undead Tide would form out of nowhere."

"Where exactly is the Undead Tide right now?"

The team member in the dark green helmet replied, "Right near the central plaza. According to our latest Observation, the Undead Tide stopped at the central plaza and hasn’t moved since, but there’s also no sign of it dispersing."

Xu Jie glanced at Yi Xiaodong and said in a deep voice, "The body of that Divine Creature is itself a Zombie. The Undead Tide wouldn’t be something it drew over, would it?"

Yi Xiaodong also realized how big the problem was. "It should be. That Divine Creature has very high intelligence. It’s probably preparing to actively attack the settlement—that’s why it gathered so many Zombies."

"Go notify everyone to enter Level One combat readiness Status. There’s no way to retreat now. This might be our final battle!"

"And only this one battle······"

Information about Divine Creatures can only be accessed by the upper echelon of the settlement, and every bit of it reeks of immense horror.

District Thirteen is nothing like this place—it has a large number of Extraordinaries, and even High-tier Extraordinaries.

Even so, it was still destroyed under the contamination of a Divine Creature. Less than ten percent of the people survived, and all of District Thirteen became a place humanity can no longer set foot in. Enter that place and your flesh will gradually twist, which then leads to your Spirit twisting, until you become a monster.

Or rather, before you even have time to fully turn into a monster, you’ll be killed by the monsters rampaging in there.

This here is District Two, equivalent to the Newbie Village. No one ever thought a Divine Creature would show up in a place like this.

Even a place like District Thirteen couldn’t avoid being wiped out under the contamination of a Divine Creature. How could they possibly struggle against that? It seems all they can do is wait for the fate of annihilation.

More importantly, they have no way to escape. They’re bound by the Doomsday Game. Once they’re dropped into this region, they can only stay in this region—unless they become High-tier Extraordinaries.

At the very least, you have to be a Tier Seven Extraordinary to move between different regions, and even then you face great risks. At the boundary of every region exist terrifying monsters.

This is also why He Yu went alone to hunt that Divine Creature. Once he failed, it wouldn’t trigger large-scale heavy contamination.

Xu Jie walked to the door, just about to leave, when she heard Yi Xiaodong suddenly say, "Actually, even if he had succeeded, he wouldn’t have lived."

"Huh?" Xu Jie turned her head to look.

Yi Xiaodong sighed, pointing at the fax machine on the table, and said, "According to the latest message from District Thirteen, back then they did manage to hunt and kill that Divine Creature, but they still inevitably triggered large-scale, annihilating contamination!"
