Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

"yes!"

The communications officer immediately turned around and gave the order.

The entire underground base instantly sprang into action.

A few minutes later.

A state-of-the-art psionic transport aircraft took off from the military airport in Beijing.

Zhou Zhenshan sat alone in the center of the cabin.

He closed his eyes, adjusting the circulation of his five internal organs, which had just been restored.

Heart fire, liver wood, spleen earth, lung metal, kidney water.

Five different types of spiritual energy were slowly circulating within his body.

Each cycle is completed.

His breathing became a little more stable.

However, the mountain-shaped Dharma image that had just appeared never materialized again.

Zhou Zhenshan was not in a hurry.

He has already traversed the path to the late stage of the fifth rank.

As for the sixth order.

Now that humanity has found its direction, it will be able to move forward sooner or later.

Inside the cockpit of a transport aircraft.

The pilot looked at the constantly fluctuating data on the radar with a grim expression.

"Director Zhou, a super-large thunderstorm cloud has appeared in the East China Sea."

"Psionic interference is increasing; we can only take you forty kilometers outside the port area at most."

Zhou Zhenshan opened his eyes.

"No need to get too close."

The pilot paused, startled: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Zhenshan stood up and stretched his shoulders.

"Open the hatch."

The pilot's expression changed slightly.

The transport plane is currently more than 8,000 meters above the ground.

Moreover, the area below is located on the edge of a thunderstorm zone.

But considering Zhou Zhenshan's current strength, he ultimately didn't ask any more questions.

"The hatch is opening. Please be careful."

Click.

The tail hatch of the transport plane slowly opened.

A sudden gust of wind rushed into the cabin.

Zhou Zhenshan stood in front of the cabin door.

Under the cover of night in the distance.

The East China Sea was already illuminated by barrages of artillery fire.

Waves tens of meters high constantly crashed against the port.

The black tide of beasts spread along the coastline.

Even though they were dozens of kilometers apart, Zhou Zhenshan could still feel that enormous and ferocious aura.

Sixth order.

This is the oppressive feeling of a sixth-order life form.

Zhou Zhenshan's eyes remained unchanged.

next moment.

He leaped into the air.

He jumped directly from a height of 8,000 meters.

The wind howled in my ears.

Zhou Zhenshan's body plummeted rapidly.

His internal organs were simultaneously activated, and dark golden blood covered his body, completely isolating him from the surrounding gale and lightning.

Two kilometers above the ground.

One thousand meters, three hundred meters, just as they were about to land.

Zhou Zhenshan lowered his waist and stomped his right foot into the void.

boom!

The air seemed to explode under his foot, and his descent speed suddenly decreased.

Immediately afterwards, he crashed heavily in front of the second line of defense at the East China Sea port, like a meteorite.

Boom!

The ground shook violently.

A large amount of dust shot into the sky.

Several low-level sea beasts that had just crossed the first line of defense were thrown away by the terrifying shockwave before they could even react.

One of the mutated sea lizards, which was seven or eight meters long, had its scales shattered as soon as it flew into the air, shaken by the dark golden blood energy.

boom!

The massive beast crashed heavily next to an abandoned armored vehicle and fell completely still.

The dust slowly settled.

Zhou Zhenshan stood in the center of the cracked ground.

His black combat uniform fluttered wildly in the strong wind.

Dark golden blood energy swirled around his body, and cracks spread dozens of meters outwards from beneath his feet.

Behind the second line of defense.

The soldiers who were organizing the retreat were stunned at first, and then someone shouted excitedly.

"It's Director Zhou! Director Zhou is here!"

The already somewhat low morale was instantly ignited.

The commander of the defense line was covered in blood.

His left arm had just been bitten by a sea monster and only received a simple bandage.

Upon seeing Zhou Zhenshan clearly, he immediately rushed forward.

"Director Zhou, the first line of defense has fallen, the number of sea monsters is still increasing, and the evacuation of civilians in the rear is only 63% complete. It will take at least another 40 minutes!"

Zhou Zhenshan looked up and gazed ahead.

The distant port had long since become ruins.

Countless mutated fish and sea monsters crossed the collapsed defense line and surged inland along the highway and dock.

Deep in the sea, the enormous black shadow, more than two hundred meters long, was getting closer and closer.

With each sway of the body.

A black wave tens of meters high would rise on the sea surface.

Zhou Zhenshan said in a deep voice, "Forty minutes?"

The commander nodded: "At least forty minutes."

Zhou Zhenshan did not turn around.

"Then we'll hold out for forty minutes."

The commander was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Zhenshan had already raised his right hand, pointing to the second line of defense.

"Evacuate all seriously wounded personnel. Those who can still stand should rely on the second line of defense to clear out the low-level sea monsters."

"Leave that sixth-tier beast to me."

The commander's expression changed.

"Director Zhou, you are all alone."

Zhou Zhenshan calmly said, "One person is enough."

The words fell.

Amidst the horde of beasts ahead, a giant fourth-tier sea crab violently smashed through several abandoned vehicles.

Its body is over ten meters tall.

The two enormous crab claws were covered with black carapaces. With one claw strike, they smashed the concrete wall by the roadside to pieces.

Several soldiers nearby immediately turned their cannons around.

But before they could even open fire...

Zhou Zhenshan has already taken a step forward.

boom!

The ground beneath their feet cracked open.

He vanished from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of the giant crab.

The giant crab clearly hadn't expected the human in front of it to be so fast.

Its two huge black pincers snapped shut.

Click!

The air was so compressed that it exploded with a loud bang.

Zhou Zhenshan did not back down.

He stomped his left foot on the ground, lowered his waist, and dark golden blood and energy instantly condensed on his right fist.

"Open the mountain!"

boom!

A punch landed.

The giant crab's massive black pincer, powerful enough to crush an armored vehicle, exploded directly from the center.

The hard shell shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

The giant crab emitted a piercing hiss.

The massive body instinctively stepped back.

But Zhou Zhenshan didn't give it a chance to catch its breath.

He stepped onto the other's broken giant claw and rushed upwards along the thick crab arm.

The giant crab frantically swung its other claw.

As Zhou Zhenshan turned to the side, the giant pincers grazed his shoulder and slammed down.

next moment.

He had reached the top of the giant crab's head.

Dark golden blood and energy gathered on his right leg.

"Get down here!"

One foot landed.

Boom!

The giant crab, whose body was over ten meters tall, suddenly sank.

All eight thick crab legs bent at the same time.

The concrete road beneath their feet could not withstand the force and instantly collapsed several meters down.

Zhou Zhenshan raised his right fist again.

The giant crab was not given a chance to struggle.

I punched it in the center of its head carapace.

Click!

The originally thick black carapace cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

The second punch.

The carapace shattered completely.

The third punch landed.

A dark golden fist-force pierced through the giant crab's head.

Its massive body convulsed violently a few times before collapsing completely into the ruins.

From the moment Zhou Zhenshan made his move until the fourth-tier sea crab was killed.

It only took a dozen seconds.

Behind the second line of defense.

The soldiers were filled with excitement.

Someone couldn't help but shout, "Director Zhou is awesome!"

Then, more and more voices rang out.

"Director Zhou is awesome!"

"Kill all these beasts!"

The morale, which had been low due to the fall of the first line of defense, quickly reignited.

The commander of the defense line grabbed the communicator and roared, "Don't just stand there!"

"Suppress the flanks of the beast tide with heavy firepower!"

"The Awakened Squad is responsible for sea beasts below Tier 4!"

"Clear a path to the coast for Director Zhou!"

"yes!"

The gunfire resumed.

Several still intact psionic armored vehicles adjusted their direction.

One after another, psionic projectiles flew over Zhou Zhenshan's head and landed in the swarm of sea monsters ahead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flames shot into the sky.

Large numbers of low-level sea monsters were torn apart by artillery fire.

Zhou Zhenshan jumped off the giant crab carcass.

He did not stop.

We walked step by step toward the sea through the passage torn open by artillery fire.

The sea monsters ahead continued to swarm.

A third-tier mutated shark beast charged down the flooded road, its gaping maw filled with countless barbed teeth.

Zhou Zhenshan kept moving.

He simply sidestepped the attack, and his right fist slammed into the shark's jaw.

boom!

The shark-like beast suddenly raised its massive head.

The dark golden fist force traveled from his jaw all the way into his brain, instantly shattering his hard skull.

Before its body even hit the ground, Zhou Zhenshan had already walked past the corpse.

Two mutated sea snakes lunged at them from the side.

They blocked their retreat, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhou Zhenshan reached out with both hands and accurately grabbed the vital points of the two sea snakes.

Use all five fingers to exert force.

Click!

The neck bones of the two sea snakes were crushed simultaneously.

He casually threw the corpse into the horde of beasts, knocking over several low-level sea monsters on the spot.

Dark golden blood energy swirled around his body.

Zhou Zhenshan killed with every step.

Whether it's second-order, third-order, or fourth-order.

No one who dares to stand in his way can withstand three punches.

In just a few minutes.

The beast tide that had already crossed the first line of defense was actually pushed back towards the coast by him single-handedly.

Seeing this, the soldiers in the rear were even more in high spirits.

"Advance the firepower!"

"Don't let the sea monsters surround Director Zhou again!"

"Second Armored Company, follow me and press forward!"

The commander of the defense line gripped the communicator and kept issuing orders.

The heavy machine gun roared wildly.

The psionic shells flew over Zhou Zhenshan's head and exploded on both sides of the beast tide.

Humanity's defenses are no longer retreating indefinitely.

Instead, they followed behind Zhou Zhenshan, gradually recapturing the lost ground.

Zhou Zhenshan walked to the remains of the first line of defense.

Suddenly, they stopped walking.

The sea became calm.

The surging waves, which had been rolling endlessly, seemed to be forcibly suppressed by some force at this moment.

All the low-level sea beasts that were attacking the port froze at the same time.

They did not continue to attack humans.

Instead, they all lowered their heads and let out a fearful murmur towards the depths of the sea.

Zhou Zhenshan looked up.

In the distance, the dark sea slowly rises.

One after another, dark backs were revealed, and then, bone spikes as tall as mountains pierced the seawater.

Rumble!

Large amounts of seawater poured out to both sides.

A colossal creature, over two hundred meters long, finally emerged completely from the water.

Kuroshio-o (Black Tide King)

Its shape is somewhat like a whale.

Its head was even more ferocious, its body was covered with thick black scales, and its four huge claws were able to support its massive body as they stood on the sea surface.

Bone spurs on his back pointed straight into the night sky.

Two scarlet eyes, like blood-red lanterns hanging on the sea.

It just appeared.

A terrifying pressure belonging to a sixth-order life form then swept towards the port.

boom!

Several abandoned vehicles ahead had their roofs collapsed under the weight of an unseen force.

The second line of defense.

Many low-level awakened individuals turned pale instantly.

Ordinary soldiers felt a tightness in their chest, had difficulty breathing, and even their hands holding guns began to tremble.

The commander of the defensive line shouted, "Hold your ground!"

"Adjust your breathing according to the 'Basic Martial Arts Furnace Method'!"

"Don't look into its eyes!"

Many soldiers immediately planted their feet on the ground.

Breathing becomes shallow.

Although still under immense pressure, he did not lose his fighting ability as he did at the beginning.

The Black Tide King swept across the port.

Finally, their gaze fell upon Zhou Zhenshan.

"Fifth-order human".

Its sound was like thunder from the seabed, causing the glass of the port buildings to shatter continuously.

"The energy and blood in your body are delicious."

Zhou Zhenshan stood on the shore and slowly raised his head: "Can speak human language? That's quite interesting."

The Black Tide King's sixth-tier pressure increased once again.

"Insignificant human, are you provoking me, Your Majesty?"
