It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 731 The Whole World

Setting up an ambush in Qingjiang City beforehand was a plan discussed by Liuxing and Cangwu.

Meteor had warned Cangwu long ago that the success rate of this plan was very, very low, perhaps only one percent.

Even with such a low success rate, are we still willing to take the gamble?

Cangwu was unwilling to give up, Jiugui wanted to make up for his regrets, and Liuxing was eager to make a move—they had captured the Dwarf Sheep, which was equivalent to capturing Fengling's only weakness. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of them. If they missed it, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives after logging off.

But seizing this opportunity comes at a price.

While lying in wait, Cangwu discovered that the name of the drunkard in his friend list had turned gray. Then, just a few minutes later, an earthquake occurred in the Mother Nest Ecological Park. The nest seemed to have received some kind of signal and suddenly accelerated its growth!
Those thick branches pierced through the concrete! They forced open the brickwork! The underground pipes deformed and ruptured under the pressure!
Sewage is overflowing, and the building's underground parking lot is flooded!

Cangwu possesses the Multi-Headed Leech and Water Sprite, which have the properties of being poisonous and water-soluble. Meteor later gifted him the cards Corruptor and Poison Master, further enhancing these properties. Therefore, Cangwu can easily hide in the underground parking lot.

The changes in the mother nest made Cangwu realize that the plan had succeeded; a rhythmic pulsation sound came from inside the nest, like a heart beating.

This is a sign that life is developing in the nest.

This is the perfect time to strike!
At first, Cangwu was still a little timid. After all, it was impossible not to be afraid when facing the Abyss Boss alone. So he chose to release the poison slowly, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. This way, he could test the nest's reaction and avoid alerting the guards outside.

Later, the poisoning of the nest was discovered, and the number of guards surrounding the nest increased.

Cangwu cautiously crept through the waterlogged crevices, a surge of resentment in his heart: Fengling, why are so many people helping you!
Why am I isolated and helpless, while the other side has a constant stream of helpers?

The stars will scatter, the drunkard will die, and the shooting star, though alive, will be unable to offer even the slightest verbal encouragement because his account is banned and he can only be added to the friend list.

How to proceed now is entirely up to Cangwu himself.

This was the final link in killing Feng Ling. The immense pressure kept Cang Wu from relaxing for a moment. He released poison while playing hide-and-seek with the guards. When the guards treated him in the east, Cang Wu would go to the west. When the guards chased him to the west, Cang Wu would hide in the north. The nest's branches were intertwined, and he could always find a hiding place.

Cangwu fought the guards all night and gradually gained the upper hand.

Until Ling Feiran arrived.

Ling Feiran possesses the West Wind Demon and the Divine Healer. Her skills can absorb most poisons while healing, and she found Cangwu almost as soon as she entered the underground parking lot.

These guards were numerous and powerful, and they repeatedly used mental pressure to intimidate Cangwu, who could only temporarily avoid their attacks and retreat outwards along the underground pipes.

The sound of patrolling footsteps echoed across the ground, while Cangwu, exhausted, hid in the dark, damp underground.

Whether it's producing deadly poison or using the water form, it's constantly draining his energy. Continuing like this, he has no chance of winning and might even be captured by the guards.

Despite his reluctance, Cangwu decided to leave temporarily. The nest needed time to nurture life, and it was only the second day. He could find another opportunity to poison the creature.

Cangwu was filled with trepidation. His initial enthusiasm and confidence were rapidly fading. Now, with very little energy left, he could no longer maintain his water form. He forced himself to climb out of the drainage well and hurriedly crawled into a nearby house.

There was no one inside; residents of the nearby neighborhood had all been evacuated.

Cangwu found some clothes to cover himself and planned to rest for a while before diving back into the ecological park after his energy was restored.

He pulled the curtains open a crack and gazed at the towering skyscrapers in the distance. His heart was filled with a mix of emotions: anxiety, impatience, resentment, and a stifling sense of frustration and irritability. It felt as if his heart was being fried in oil and roasted over a fire.

Cangwu knew he needed to rest, but by the time he recovered his energy, Ling Feiran and the guards would also have recovered their energy, and he would still have no chance of winning!

what to do?!

Cangwu brought up the virtual screen and opened Meteor's chat box, wanting to say something. When people are at a loss, they always hope to get some guidance or advice, but looking at the blank chat box, he pursed his lips and ultimately said nothing.

Meteor has completed its mission. When the plan was made, everyone's responsibilities were clearly defined: Meteor and Drunkard were responsible for dealing with Windfeather, and Azure Willow was responsible for dealing with the Nest.

He earned this opportunity himself, so why is he now asking others for help?

not to mention--

The other account has been banned.

Cangwu clutched his head in anguish and slowly squatted down by the window.

He huddled in the shadows.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a luminous line in the room. Time passed slowly, and the line crawled along the floor. Finally, as the sun began to set, the ray of light climbed the wall and gradually dimmed before Cangwu's eyes. Suddenly, a strange bird call came from outside.

For some reason, Cangwu felt a chill run down his spine!

He sensed something was wrong with the birdsong and immediately drew back the curtains to investigate. He discovered a group of white people with high noses and deep-set eyes walking into the neighborhood. They were all elites or higher, and the leader was even a lord-level boss!

These people are talking:
Are you sure it's hidden here?

"This is it. My sound waves react when they come into contact with contaminants and aliens. Although I can't pinpoint the exact location to the meter, I can confirm that it's in this building."

"Then let's search each room one by one."

"Too troublesome, let Tiger use his mental pressure to bombard it directly."

"Don't forget, the vice-captain here said this mutant can turn into water..."

Cangwu couldn't understand their language, but when he saw the leader's physique begin to change, he immediately knew that the other party wanted to use the second form—in the second form, the Boss's abilities in all aspects would increase dramatically, and the range of his mental pressure would also expand!
He couldn't just sit here and wait to die; he had to get out of here as soon as possible!

Cangwu instinctively tried to escape through the indoor sewers, but he soon discovered that the temperature in the entire room was dropping rapidly!
Cangwu felt a lump in his throat, turned around, and rushed out of the room!

"Found it! The mutant is on the first floor!!!"

A massive influx of cold air rushed into the first-floor corridor! Frost flowers bloomed on the glass!

With nowhere to hide, Cangwu was forced to flee upwards, his heart filled with surging hatred!

In order to counter his skills, these humans even sought out hunters who could control frost!

Both frost and fire emphasize explosive power. As long as he is patient enough, he can exhaust the opponent's energy and escape. However, there is still mental pressure pressing him from behind!
Cangwu dared not stop and continued to flee upwards.

The residential building has 26 floors, and climbing to the top was exhausting.

He crawled into a room on the top floor, anxiously exploring the layout and trying to find a way out.

Does he still have a way out?
The pipes on the first floor are now frozen solid. Even if his body could melt into water, he would still need to pass through the first floor to leave! Unless the Frost Hunter guarding the first floor used up all his energy when he used his skill just now!
But is that even possible?

With a glimmer of hope, Cangwu went to the balcony and looked down.

He was stunned at first glance.

He saw that the area below was packed with cars, and inspectors and hunters had the building completely surrounded, while further away, more cars were continuing to drive towards it.

So many people...

So many...

Cangwu stared intently downstairs. After an unknown amount of time, his clenched teeth suddenly loosened, and he gave a bitter smile as tears streamed down his face.

The resentment and pain in my heart converged into endless grievances at this moment!
This grievance completely crushed Cangwu!

—I tried my best, but I still lost.

Cangwu closed his eyes, forcefully wiped away his tears, then took a deep breath, and lightly tapped his finger to bring up the virtual screen.

He said to the shooting star, "We lost."

He looked at the words, paused for two seconds, and then said: "The whole world is helping her."

Tears streamed down her face again.

With a loud bang, the door was forcibly kicked open!

Cangwu didn't linger; he climbed over the balcony and jumped off.

Tiger, who was leading the pursuit, only saw a fleeting glimpse of clothes fluttering in the wind.

　The first time Cangwu logged in, she was a woman, so we'll use "she"; the second time, she was a man, so we'll use "he". Later, when we write about the origin world, we'll consider including asexual, transgender, and intersex individuals; those will be represented by "Ta".
