I have a city in another world

This torrential rain is no ordinary natural disaster.
It was clearly a poison carefully concocted by the Blood Demon Sect, containing deadly Gu poison and highly corrosive substances, intended to destroy the mountain city settlement.

Thick, dark clouds, like a giant iron pot, covered the entire city, leaving no place untouched. Every inch of land was thoroughly soaked by the highly toxic rain.

There is no distinction between the "inner city" and the "outer city." At this moment, the entire city has become a breeding ground for rampant poisonous insects.

Even more frightening is that as the rain clears and the temperature gradually rises, the unknown substances lurking in the rainwater seem to be awakened like demons, and begin to undergo strange changes.

They act like living creatures, frantically eroding the surface and crevices of the metal, causing severe adhesion and corrosion.

This substance is more like a tenacious fungus, extremely resilient. Once it attaches to metal or objects, it becomes like a persistent carbuncle, making it extremely difficult to remove.

People were horrified to discover that the crevices of many objects were covered with this slimy substance, causing them to completely lose their original function.

The heavy city gate was so heavily corroded and jammed by this substance that no amount of manpower could budge it.

The firearms and weapons that were once considered lifelines, as well as the vehicles parked outside, were all devastated.

Metal parts are rusted and stuck together, triggers won't pull, and engines won't start. Once war breaks out, these once-powerful weapons will be no different from a pile of scrap metal.

As time went on, the situation worsened. People could even see with the naked eye that a strange layer of moss and lichen began to grow on the metal surface, as if the entire city was being rapidly "activated" and "corrupted" by an invisible force.

The Blood Demon Sect, with just this one incomprehensible method, paralyzed an impregnable settlement without shedding a drop of blood.

No need for swords and bloodshed, no need for corpses strewn across the battlefield; the outcome of the war seemed to be decided the moment the demonic rain ceased.

Once the news spreads, the outside world will be shocked. This entirely new mode of warfare completely overturns previous understanding.

Swords, guns, and cannons all seem so primitive and rudimentary compared to this method of manipulating the weather and instigating natural disasters. This is the true "grand scheme," killing without a trace and destroying cities without a sound.

At this moment, the survivors had only one thought in their minds: the Blood Demon Sect's army was about to arrive.

The only hope of survival is to give up the fight and escape immediately! Escape as far away as possible and never come back!

However, reality was harsh. More than half of the city's residents had fallen ill, suffering from persistent high fevers and extreme weakness. The vehicles that could have carried them away were either corroded beyond repair or their critical components were stuck together.

The entire city, like a giant beast whose bones have been removed, was completely paralyzed.

Want to escape? Easier said than done. Being unable to move an inch is the most accurate description of the current situation.

However, there was one "good thing".

If one wanted to escape at this moment, there would be no obstacles.

Most of the police officers who were usually arrogant and prone to beatings and scoldings were now sick from the rain, the streets were deserted, and the city walls were no longer guarded.

Even the terrifying unmanned patrol aircraft that used to hover in the sky from time to time were completely shut down because of this torrential rain.

Climbing over the city wall now is a piece of cake. There's no longer any need to worry about being discovered, attacked, or thrown into a dark prison.

Those residents who had not yet been infected with the Gu poison and were still able to move around surged out of the city like a tide.

With the shadow of war looming, no one wanted to stay and wait to die. Given any chance of survival, everyone would choose to flee.

At this moment, those with families are in the most pain, having to make a decision.

If your friends and family are unfortunately infected and unable to move, do you choose to carry them and escape together, or harden your heart and try to survive on your own?

The Blood Demon Sect's methods not only erode their flesh and blood, but also torment their hearts, nakedly revealing the cruelest side of human nature.

Just as the people in the city were in a state of panic and scrambling to escape, those traitors who had been lurking in the residential areas and had already secretly joined the Blood Demon Sect tore off their disguises and jumped out.

They seem to have a special method to resist the invasion of Gu poison.

While those around them were sickly and powerless to resist, they were all full of energy and vitality.

These infiltrators, armed with weapons, swiftly and precisely seized key locations throughout the city, especially several city gates, which they easily took control of.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the city closest to the mountain city settlement, a fully armed convoy, like sharks smelling blood, roared straight toward the mountain city settlement.

Leading the group was Feng Jiu Kui.

He led a group of his men, charging in with overwhelming force, their eyes gleaming with excited fighting spirit and a greedy thirst for glory. Feng Jiu Kui was completely convinced by the Blood Demon Sect's actions.

He had expected a fierce battle, with a hail of bullets inevitable. But to his surprise, not a single shot was heard before the entire city's defenses crumbled.

According to intelligence from the infiltrators, the mountain city garrison is now completely paralyzed. The barracks are filled with martial artists and soldiers incapacitated by the poison; they are too weak to even stand, let alone take up arms and fight.

This incredible achievement was as easy as taking candy from a baby!
Sure enough, the convoy traveled smoothly without any obstacles.

Normally, there would have been drone interception and patrol teams to block them, but now, everything is eerily quiet.

They rushed to the outskirts of the settlement and saw a vast expanse of water before them.

The murky, filthy floodwaters submerged large tracts of sown crops and also swallowed up carefully laid bunkers and minefields.

Even if the minefield wasn't completely destroyed, they weren't worried at all. This was because the Blood Demon Sect had already obtained all the military intelligence through their inside agents, including even the structural diagrams of the inner city's mountain interior.

Not everyone is willing to perish with the mountain town community. Before disaster strikes, some people will always prepare a way out for themselves.

In fact, many residents already knew perfectly well that the higher-ups in the mountain town were unreliable. In the event of a real crisis, they would not hesitate to abandon ordinary citizens and use them as cannon fodder in the war.

Although they understand this, ordinary people are helpless and can only try to survive in the cracks and find ways to protect themselves.

"Break into the city! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

At Feng Jiu Kui's command, his armed men immediately charged out like wolves and tigers.

Logically speaking, the area within 500 meters of the defense zone is the most brutal death zone in war.

But today, they moved with impunity. The assault vehicles easily smashed through the roadblocks.

The sturdy, heavy outer city gate had already been opened from the inside by the infiltrators. The convoy rushed in unimpeded.

Although the outer city, which had survived the last war, is currently being rebuilt, ruins are still visible everywhere, especially civilian buildings, which have been relegated to a secondary position after military defenses.

The roadsides were lined with bombed and charred houses; it was no exaggeration to say that nine out of ten were empty. The few houses that had been repaired were inhabited by returning residents and recruited refugees.

At this moment, many people collapsed beside their houses or streets, their eyes filled with anger, panic, and a deep sense of powerlessness, watching helplessly as the enemy entered their homes as if they were nothing.

They were filled with despair, fearing that these demons would begin a bloody massacre.

The poison in the rainwater rendered them incapable of resisting, leaving them only to stare blankly and wait for death.

Fortunately, the worst fears did not come true.

These armed personnel of the Blood Demon Sect have clear objectives; they have no interest in ordinary people.

Their primary task was to seize and capture the inner city to support the main force.

In a sense, the residents of the mountain town should "thank" this magical rain, and thank the poison in the rain.

It was because of it that they were spared from being caught in the meat grinder of war and from ending up being crushed to pieces.

Instead of being merely bystanders, temporarily unharmed, as we are now.

Of course, there was some resistance along the way. A few hot-blooded residents tried to stop them, but were easily killed by the Blood Demon Sect cultivators.

Outer sect cultivators like Bai San may not hold high positions within the Blood Demon Sect, but to the outside world they are feared butchers and demons. Anyone who dares to resist will face their merciless and bloody suppression.

The troops advanced rapidly and soon reached the inner city gates, where they encountered a minor resistance.

However, the strength of this resistance was as weak as a sick cat, giving people a sense of listlessness.

Feng Jiu Kui quickly discovered the reason—the guardians of the inner city were also not spared from the poison, and their combat strength was reduced to less than one-tenth!

He was overjoyed and immediately ordered a fierce attack.

He deserves the greatest credit for capturing the inner city!

The Blood Demon Sect's generous rewards were already beckoning to him! (End of Chapter)
