In the far distance of Xia City,
a huge dark-blue vortex appeared in the sky, and countless bolts of lightning exploded inside. Blinding light swept across and spread downward into a tornado, twisting and devouring everything around it.
The vortex above was spewing out the astonishing power of the Mechanic Abyss, as if it wanted to turn everything in the world into machinery and steel—plants, animals, and birds were no exception.
The plants and animals in Xia City also showed signs of turning into steel. The Steel Beasts that were already infected by the Mechanic Abyss's power went berserk. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their auras were violent as they charged towards Xia City.
The beasts' roars were like thunder, and their momentum was like a tide. Behind these steel beasts, there was an even greater fear brewing, and panic and despair spread. Even if the association didn't notify them, the people could guess what had happened. This was the arrival of the Mechanic Abyss, and a mechanical beast tide was about to erupt—Xia City was finished. It's doomsday had arrived!
"Damn it! How could he be so unlucky!"
"It's completely over! Everything was fine this morning!"
"When will the reinforcements arrive?"
"What is the association doing?"
Regardless of whether they were bikers or ordinary people, their emotions had already collapsed. It was difficult for them to withstand such a major mental impact. However, disasters were always like this. They always came suddenly and would not inform anyone in advance when they arrived.
...
"All ordinary people, hurry up and get in the car! Evacuate Xia City! Hurry!"
Xia An looked anxious as she urged the ordinary people who were on the verge of mental collapse. Behind her were rows of evacuation vehicles. Every transport truck was filled with people, and there were even ordinary people trying their best to squeeze into it.
Legend had it that bikers could give birth when they reached the level of Supreme, but that was just a legend. These ordinary people were still the foundation of the Hua Nation, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"It's useless. This is a beast tide! A wave of mechanical monsters! Where can we escape to?"
"If we don't have reinforcements, it'll be even more dangerous outside!"
"Everything is over. I want to stay here! At the very least, you can be considered to have returned to your roots!"
There were even more people resisting, and the scene was in chaos.
"We must get through this-"
Xia An fell silent halfway through her sentence. In the face of such a natural disaster, Xia City was too weak to resist. Without the protection of the steel walls, it was even more dangerous outside! If these ordinary people were sent to the wilderness, most of them would only die.
Even she felt that there was no more hope...
If he could have that lord to escort him, there might be some hope...
However, that lord obviously had a more important mission!
The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Xia An's heart was snuffed out once again. She was very pessimistic.
However, at this moment...
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar! It was as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated. Then, at first, an inconspicuous ball of light flickered. Then, it expanded rapidly, as if it had triggered some kind of terrifying energy reaction! In an instant, it released a pale blue light that was as terrifying as the sun's explosion. It swept in all directions as if it was destroying the world.
Countless bikers and ordinary people were shocked by this scene. They even forgot about their fear and fell into a deep daze and endless shock.
"What's going on?"
"Oh my god! Did the Mechanic Abyss explode?"
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they had already started to panic. Then, notifications started sounding:
[Hint! The concentration of the power of the Mechanical Abyss has decreased!]
[Hint! The concentration of the power of the Mechanical Abyss has decreased!]
[Hint!...]
Everyone was still in a daze and confused. They did not know what had happened until the president of the Bike Association, who was standing at the forefront, issued an almost crazy announcement.
"All bikers, listen up! The mechanical beast tide disappeared into thin air! A powerful figure had attacked and killed the lord of the Mechanic Abyss! He had killed all the mechanical monsters! Only a few stinky steel beasts are left! It's time for us to counterattack!"
The president of the motorcycle association repeated it three times. Every time he repeated it, he was so excited that he was almost crazy!
Silence!
There was a deathly silence.
Everyone fell silent. For a moment, it was difficult for them to process and accept this joy. A few seconds later...
Whoosh!
The world was in an uproar! Xia City was in an uproar. The people were all ecstatic and cheered excitedly. Some even cried tears of joy, hugging their families and burying their heads in tears.
"What exactly happened?"
Xia An was the first to rush out. Like a bolt of red lightning, she dashed toward the city wall, wanting to rush to the front line to figure out the situation.
How could such a powerful attack appear in Xia City? Moreover, the strength of the attack just now was more than enough to suppress the Two-star Mechanic Abyss, right? Which big shot had passed by Xia City and helped them quell the chaos? Moreover, it was such a waste?
Xia An's mind was in a state of chaos, and a huge wave of chaos was set off.
She was not the only one. The other higher-ups of Xia City were in the same state.
"Could it be that lord? Or was it that lord's teacher?"
Xia An stood on the steel wall that was as high as a mountain and looked into the distance. Indeed, there was no black mist released by the mechanical monsters. Her power core throbbed violently. For a moment, her mind was filled with the image of the giant red and blue figure, and her body couldn't help but feel numb.
...
Naturally, Xu Gu did not know that his unintentional action had caused such a huge commotion. He only knew that he had gained a lot from this trip. Not only did he rise to Level 8, but he also obtained at least a million points!
Outside the city wall, a large number of bikers gathered. Although the mechanical monster tide had subsided, the steel beast tide was still charging. They needed to resist the attacks of these steel beasts. At the same time, the city gate would not be opened easily. For the time being, they could only land from the city or jump over the wall.
Fortunately, the steel beast tide was not strong. They could resist it, and the bikers who were in trouble were also found one after another. Those who could fight were directly involved in the battle.
Those who could not fight were mostly students who had just awakened today. They queued up to return to the city.
Xu Gu's return soon attracted the attention of the crowd. Due to his huge body size and the fact that he was the only S rank in Xia City in the past five years, his reputation was extremely great. Even if everyone had never seen him before, it was easy for them to guess his identity.
"Are you alright
?"
Seeing Xu Gu return, Lin Changfeng instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Liu even leaned over, her pretty face full of worry.
It was the same for Sweetness.
As for Wang Lishuo, Zhang Chao, and the other two, their faces instantly turned ugly. Seeing Xu Gu return, their hearts suddenly skipped a beat, and all their previous fantasies were shattered.
"Damn it, how could he come back!"
Most of the people gathered around were students who had just awakened. Seeing Xu Gu's return, the two school belles hurriedly went up to him and asked about his well-being, their bodies almost sticking to Xu Gu.
All the students were extremely envious.
What really broke their defense was Lin Changfeng's next sentence.
"Why is the luster on your body so strong? What level were you at? Level 3? Or Level 4? No, this strength didn't seem to be at Level 4. Could it be… Level 5!"
Lin Changfeng's eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.
As soon as his words landed, the scene suddenly became shocked. It was like a bolt from the blue that landed in the hearts of the people around him.
Everyone was deeply shocked.
"What is it? Level 5?"
