Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"Shu Zao, one layer of the ring might break." Qi Hui frowned, staring at the pollutants inside the ring.

"It's okay, I'll add two more rings." She combined the three rings into one, feeling a sense of security.

The SSSS-level sentinel, whose level had been replaced, was unaware of Shu Zao's actions and was busy ganging up on it!

"Damn, it's so hard to squeeze to death, the skin is really tough." Shu Zao suppressed the metallic taste rising in her throat and increased the force of the contraction.

"Wait, if we die, the remaining circles will disappear, including the one in your hand. At that point, the White Tower and the central city will be finished."

It tried to save itself.

They fell for her trap. They hadn't expected her to pull this stunt, and before they knew it, they had escaped.

The sentries and guides who were besieging it were less ruthless; they were waiting for Shu to speak.

It's normal for those in positions of power to know more than they do; it's commonplace.

"As expected, I guessed it. I also discussed it with Speaker Nylonko. If his preparations don't last until we get back, there's nothing I can do."

How can it be considered a discussion to have Nylonko defend the central city and abandon the White Tower?

She brought most of the SSSS-level sentinels, and Hua Zhongmian was extremely worried that she wouldn't be able to clear out this layer of barriers.

Shu Zao's gentle words reassured the sentries and guides present.

They were even more ruthless.

"It's gone viral. The rate at which pollutants are growing is beyond your imagination. Are you sure you can bear the consequences?"

It used the names given to the White Pagoda and the central city.

Shu Zao turned her head to look at it, which was struggling to resist: "This is not your concern. I just need to make sure that I take you down before this enclosure breaks."

It won't even live to see that time, it's strange that it has so much free time.

The team had a clear division of labor: she dealt with the pollutants in her circle, and the other members worked together to eliminate them.

Shuzao was faster. Exhausted, she knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, breathing heavily, and sweat dripping down her face.

Guan Zhou retreated to a slightly safer position, looking around as if searching for something.

"What are you looking for?" Shu Zao looked up at Guan Zhou.

"It's nothing." Guan Zhou shifted his gaze to it.

Could it be in its hands?

Bethlia's team received a video (shot by a robot) from Nironco when they were about a kilometer away from the middle of the two white towers, reminding them to enter the halo.

In the video, three black circles appear out of nowhere in front of Yuri Ruda White Tower, Maurice Dubonne White Tower, and Granna Miro White Tower. A large amount of pollutants surge out of the black circles and attack the white towers.

The sentries and guides guarding the White Tower have been turned into robots!

Fang Linian's pupils dilated in shock: "Which link is this?"

Did Nironco and Shu have foreseen this step?

"Charge through, enter the halo, and we'll use our cockpit to get back to the central city," Bethlia said, looking behind her. "The circle should be completely destroyed."

None of the pollutants in the video look easy to deal with; they are highly destructive.

How much does Shu Zao know?

How much has Nironko been hiding?

This is really mind-bending.

"Alert!" Iwatsu slashed at the pollutant that had launched a sneak attack.

The team, still recovering from their injuries, rushed back, only to be attacked again before passing through the halo, losing five sentries. They then boarded the cabins arranged by Nironko.

"Bang bang bang".

"Bang bang bang".

"Bang bang bang".

"All GKF300046 series robots are scrapped."

"The entire HSU846333 series of robots is now scrapped."

"All IAL6498852 series robots are scrapped."

"The entire WDC863415 series of robots is now scrapped."

...

"The entire JUO5436473 series of robots is now scrapped."

The pollutants are attacking too aggressively, making it increasingly difficult for robots to intercept them.

"Ding-dong."

Bethelia, sitting in the cabin, was the first to turn on the light screen.

[Nilonco]: Leave the cabin. The White Tower is about to fall. Your movements are restricted inside the cabin.

Once ambushed, it is difficult to avoid.

"Exit the cabin, run! Run back to the city center!! Hurry!!!" Bethlia shouted, her voice cracking.

In an emergency, there's no need to worry about the boundaries of a particular sentinel or guide. Whichever sentinel's mental form is the fastest, everyone can ride separately.

Even being meticulous requires a certain amount of life experience.

Fate did not favor Bethlia's party; they were three-quarters of the way when pollutants caught up with them.

With a determined look, Bethlia gave the order: "Sentries with a contamination level exceeding 70% will stay behind to hold off the contaminants and buy time for the team to evacuate."

The cleanup of pollutants in the enclosure was slow, so now they are retreating at the last minute, racing against time with their lives on the line.

However, the cleaning speed was already the fastest she could do.

Reality ultimately doesn't care how much you've put in; if you're "unqualified," you're "unqualified."

Xu Tan stared behind him: "They didn't attack the sentries, they're chasing after us."

Their goal is not to leave behind any intercepting sentries.

What is it?

He followed closely behind the group... He realized it was the group's leader!

"They protect guides; their target is guides."

Bethlia immediately contacted the sentries who were covering the rear and ordered them to return.

Central city command center.

Once the amount of pollutants entering the White Tower reached a certain level, Nironko closed his eyes and said, "Initiate the White Tower's self-destruct program."

Take as much as you can.

"receive."

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The twelve white towers exploded simultaneously, and the ground was littered with corpses covered in contaminants.

It's ripe, and it smells awful.

Bethlia and her team fought their way back, with sentries of particularly high contamination levels charging directly into the contaminants and self-destructing.

Ru Mo protected Fang Linian with all her might, and her body was covered in several cuts and blood.

"I'm only an SS-class guide, not an SSS-class one."

Without support, he felt his team wouldn't last until the central city.

Can Shu Zao really resolve this crisis?

Will she lead the White Tower and the central city to victory?

"SS-rank is also very precious." He spoke with a lisp, and blood splattered onto Fang Linian's already dirty clothes. The pollutants in the circle knocked out his front teeth.

Another sentry rushed into the contaminants and self-destructed, giving the team a brief respite.

Bethlia forced the use of her ability, surrounding the team with metal sheets that also served as a means of attacking contaminants.

Unfortunately, pollutants are so adept at exploiting vulnerabilities that they are impossible to prevent.

"Hold on, the rescue team sent by Speaker Nironko is on its way."

One minute before the rescue team arrived, Ru Mo died. Fang Linian, who was shielding an SSS-level guide from a pollutant attack, had his weapon and body split in two.

Unable to use his mental power and being in the air with insufficient combat area, he did his best.

The city's defense system was activated, allowing Bethlia's team to enter. Two contaminants were released, and they died as soon as they entered.
