040 Encounter
Tokyo.
Before the aura disappeared, it was prosperous.
Not only is it the largest metropolis in the island country, but also the only immortal cultivation holy place in the island country is located on its side, and there are countless small and medium-sized immortal cultivation societies.
As a result, almost half of the population of the island nation is concentrated, and nearly 60 million people live in it.
After the aura disappeared, at the beginning, this was the safest place in the island country.
Up to the Holy Land, down to the large and small immortal cultivation societies.
The countless formations they usually arranged almost enveloped the entire Tokyo Metropolis, and after they were opened, they isolated the inside and outside, and firmly blocked the xenomorphs from the city.
Therefore, when the xenomorphs fought back in an all-out way, countless people from island countries flocked to the city for refuge.
This has brought Tokyo's population to more than 80 million in less than a month.
With the superb agricultural and animal husbandry technology that combines aura and technology, in a short period of time, the survival of 80 million people is worry-free, and at most a little squeezed.
At that time, everyone thought it was just a temporary disaster.
Everyone was huddled in Tokyo with peace of mind, waiting for the high-flying immortal cultivators to make a move to repel the counterattack of the aliens.
But in the third month after the aura disappeared, something desperate happened.
The Yaki Holy Land suddenly began to shrink and envelop the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Area.
It didn't take long for medium and large immortal cultivation societies to follow suit.
The small immortal cultivation societies even disbanded one after another, desperately trying to integrate into the larger organizations.
For a time, most of Tokyo was exposed to the perception of aliens.
Thus began the catastrophe of 80 million people.
……
Now, it has been almost a year since the aura disappeared.
How many of the 80 million people are left is unknown.
Because in addition to hunting, xenomorphs will also choose robust individuals to parasitize.
And those who are parasitic, whose brains have been eroded, are no longer really human.
The fierce battle that Zhou Mai had just seen from afar was set off by the many parasites lurking on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Almost every once in a while, they will suddenly attack en masse and attack the real humans around them.
Of course, these veins are not known for the time being.
At this moment, he was landing in a sparse woodland with Mizuno Yona.
After using the telekinesis field to isolate and distort his own information, such as optics, smells, and heat, he hurried to Tokyo on foot in the direction he had just observed.
During this period, in order to prevent Mizuno Yona from getting out of control due to strenuous exercise, the two of them did not travel fast.
But it didn't take long for Zhou Mai to see that the little girl seemed to be gritting her teeth, sighed, and simply lifted her up with a telekinetic force field, and the speed was a little faster.
When he walked out of the woodland, he also encountered a gray fog dispersed by a different species.
But his stealth seemed to be effective for the xenomorphs, and he walked over without the slightest alarm.
After getting on a road to Tokyo, the situation was much better.
Zhou Wei can sense that there are many xenomorphs ambushed on both sides of the road, and under normal circumstances, it is definitely quite dangerous to take the road.
But he can't find it, so it's extra safe.
In this case, slowly Mizuno Yona relaxed, and her unfixed head kept looking at the scenery along the way.
Looking at the little expression that gradually came alive, if it weren't for the fact that the alien species was extremely sensitive to sound, she would have to whine.
Zhou Mai noticed this scene, and his mood was a little better.
But because he was still thinking about things, he didn't tell the little girl that he could isolate the sound transmission.
……
Time passes.
After more than two hours, it was already dark.
Fortunately, they have also arrived in the suburbs of Tokyo.
At this time, the fighting in the city had almost stopped, and only the sound of sporadic heavy blows and explosions could be heard.
However, the mood of the two was not much better because they arrived at their destination.
On the contrary, it has a little more heaviness.
Without him, the sight as far as the eye could see was too tragic.
It can be seen that this suburb must have been flooded with a lot of people who have taken refuge from outside the country not long ago, and there are shantytowns built indiscriminately everywhere.
But at this time, both these shanty huts and the original residential buildings were almost shattered.
On the earth, scorch marks and deep pits are dense.
Occasionally, you can smell the rancid smell wafting around.
In such a scene, the big man who watched Zhou Mai was silent, not to mention the little girl Mizuno Yona.
Originally, he wanted to find a place to rest and spend the night, but at this time, he didn't stay for half a minute.
After signaling Mizuno Yona to close her eyes, her steps couldn't help but speed up a little, and she hurried to the direction of a bang she had heard a few minutes ago.
And as we get closer to the city, the traces of the battle become fresher.
Gray mist, bones, charred ruins, you can see everywhere.
Seeing this, Zhou Mai also lifted his spirits to deal with possible accidents.
……
Ten minutes later.
After passing through several gray and misty street ruins, the two finally officially entered the city limits of Tokyo.
also approached the place where the explosion had just been heard.
By the time they arrived, the fighting here was over.
It is not difficult to see that the center of the battle should be a residential building.
At this time, the courtyards of typical Japanese-style houses were basically reduced to ruins, and there were still some foot-long flames burning on the ruins, and the black smoke had not yet dissipated.
The surrounding buildings have also been damaged to varying degrees, with most of them collapsing and scars from the distance.
It can be seen that the battle is fierce.
But to Zhou Mai's surprise, there were no wounded or corpses left behind by both sides of the battle at the scene.
Some are just a few fresh scorch marks on the road outside the house.
Could it be that this is a tie and each retreated?
He was disappointed to think of this possibility.
Why did he rush to such a place where the battle broke out, not to follow the human side and enter the real city.
Na Cheng wanted the battle to end too quickly, and by the time he arrived, he would have run out of people.
Now, they can only continue to try their luck on their own.
As night fell, except for a little starlight and a few afterburns of battle, it was dark everywhere, and there was no trace of civilized lights, and it was impossible to find out where there were people.
There was no way, Zhou Mai had no choice but to continue to hold Mizuno Yangna with his mental strength, and smear the streets of the uninhabited city.
However, it was not far from the scene of the battle that had just left Fangcai.
Just as he was hesitating to remove the visual passivation and investigate, a huge dark red fireball smashed over.
The blazing heat is very refreshing.
In a hurry, Zhou Mai didn't care about the confusion, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to make a gesture, but in fact, he grabbed it with his mental power.
With a quick grip on the palm, the fireball quickly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly unfolded his telekinesis within a range of 100 meters and swept around.
Sure enough, the attacker was soon spotted on the roof of a fairly intact house on the side of the street.
But before he could react further, another fiery fireball the size of a football appeared in the attacker's hand.
Seeing that the other party was about to smash over, Zhou Mai had an idea, hurriedly withdrew all invisibility, and then shouted, "Let's do it slowly."
