From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Fifteen pieces."

"Use it where it counts, Hilda!"

"Yes!"

Hilda immediately identified the attack points as the six limbs and spine of the Beast, stating, "By destroying the Beast's supporting limbs and then its spine, we can completely dismantle the Beast Mountain and allow the defensive platform to hold for a period of time."

"it is good!"

Seng excitedly issued the order: "All artillery positions, prepare to attack the points determined by Hilda! Dismantle Beast Mountain!"

Although the core team of the city defense forces lacked real combat experience, fortunately, apart from the navigation system, all other systems of the lighthouse were intact, just like a meticulously planned conspiracy.

The six artillery emplacements launched missiles simultaneously, a total of twelve, aiming one after the other at the six points marked on the bio-radar.

Six of them blasted through the outer layer of the Pan-Growth Devourer, while the remaining six accurately struck the six limbs of the Diplademon, breaking them off.

However, perhaps due to the large accumulation of pan-type Devouring Beasts, the Double-jawed Beasts were still holding on, which resulted in the Beast Mountain not being greatly shaken.

The thirteenth and fourteenth missiles were launched, blasting open the Devouring Beasts on the back of the Double-jawed Beast and its skin.

"Last one! Launch!"

Hilda almost screamed.

"emission!"

The person controlling the turret pressed the button on the handle and launched the last missile, which accurately pierced through the channel created by the previous two missiles and hit the spine of the two-jawed beast.

but--

The expected explosion did not occur.

"Damn it! It's a dud!"

Hilda was furious.

"But it's precisely this most crucial one!"

Sengge roared even more furiously.

On the elevator platform, the city defense reserve, logistics personnel, and a large number of civilians armed with cold weapons were already spread out all around, ready to fight at any moment.

However, a chill ran through the hearts of Hong Guniang, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin.

Why did that last missile fail to explode?

Logically speaking, with only fifteen missiles and daily inspections, any problems should have been discovered long ago!

[ASH? Or is it the will within the right brain?]

Zhang Zhiwei asked the two of them.

[Whichever one of them is it, they all think of themselves as "gods," devoid of any emotion!]

Lu Jin felt a chill run down her spine and speculated, "ASH is a human creation, and perhaps on a macro level, it's on humanity's side... The missile's malfunction might be because it also wanted to promote the alliance between the Lighthouse and Dragonbone Village—it might have calculated that someone would deliberately detonate the missile."

Who exactly is it?

ASH may not be accurate, but there is no doubt that in the face of the apocalypse, human nature is unpredictable, but even in the cold darkness, the most brilliant light can be born!

as predicted!

Hilda's monitoring revealed that a heavy machine had broken away from its designated position and was hurtling towards the tunnel that had been blasted open.

"Orland!"

Hilda was startled and cried out, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm sorry, Hilda."

During the flight, Orland responded in the gentlest tone, "During the meal, because there were too many people, I was too embarrassed to say it. If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance!"

Hilda!

I've always wanted to see you naked!

But now, I wish you could live!

"No! Orland!"

During her time working with Orland, Hilda had already developed feelings for the humorous and witty Orland, but she never dared to express them due to the Three Laws of the Lighthouse.

Who would have thought—

Orland actually has feelings for her too!

"Fight for the lighthouse!"

Orland roared and steered the heavy machine toward the passage blasted open by the two missiles.

At the critical moment.

A hand pressed down on Orland's heavy shoulder, then with a gentle flick, sent him back to the inside of the defense platform, landing right next to Hilda.

"It is Commander Dust People!"

Hilda was stunned when she saw the scene on the surveillance footage.

The city defense troops and the war supervisors from the Light and Shadow Society who witnessed the scene nearby were also incredulous.

The reason is that in the image, Zhang Zhiwei stands suspended in mid-air, without any aid or equipment, seemingly bathed in an invisible light, as if...

Lord of Light and Shadow!

This was also the first time that core members of the city defense army and members of the Light and Shadow Society had witnessed Zhang Zhiwei's ability to fly.

Without wasting words, Zhang Zhiwei raised his hand and unleashed a Five Thunderbolts Technique, which struck the missile at the spine and detonated it.

Boom!

The tremor spread throughout Beast Mountain. The two-jawed beast, in pain, flung hundreds of pan-evolving Devouring Beasts away and leaned back, causing the massive Beast Mountain to shrink in size in an instant.

After dealing with all of this, Zhang Zhiwei leaped to the inside of the defense platform where the drilling column was located and said to Orland, "Brother, you're a pretty good guy. It would be such a pity if you died like this. The Lighthouse needs more people like you."

Having said that, without waiting for Orland and Hilda's gratitude, or for the city guards' compliments, Zhang Zhiwei leaped back onto the elevator platform.

"Zhang Zhiwei!"

"Zhang Zhiwei!"

"Zhang Zhiwei!"

But the core members of the city defense force continued to shout Zhang Zhiwei's name.

"Brother Zhang, you've really made a name for yourself this time."

On the outside of the lifting platform, Lu Jin joked, "How does it feel to be a hero?"

“I don’t care. I just think Orland has some guts. Besides, ‘fighting for the lighthouse’ isn’t his way. That woman named Hilda is his way.”

If Orland were to die and sacrifice himself for his own "way," Zhang Zhiwei would only stand by and watch.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!

Only by observing can we show the greatest respect!

But such a courageous person was willing to sacrifice himself for this still filthy lighthouse—

not worth it!

Furthermore,

If the will behind ASH, or the Mana ecosystem, truly requires the Lighthouse to make "sacrifices" to achieve certain goals, then it should take action to break it!

The Transformation of Lighthouses —

They will be the ones to do it!

Chapter 1231 Don't Treat Sensible People Like Eggs (Part 1)

"hiss!"

Suddenly.

Lu Jin and Hong Gu Niang covered their heads, their brows furrowed.

Zhang Zhiwei also sensed something, noticing a force sweeping across their bodies. He immediately focused his mind, ready to fight at any moment.

“An extremely powerful mental force erupted, specifically targeting me and Lu Jin.”

Red Girl made her judgment and glanced back at the lighthouse. "Normal people can't sense it, but we can't use our mental powers to scan it for the time being."

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"The city lord has placed too much trust in Seng and his men, who have never fought against the Devouring Beasts before. The area below will soon fall! Only we ourselves can protect us!"

"When the Devouring Beasts come up, don't be afraid. Running away will only excite them more! As I and Captain Red instructed, the city defense reserve and logistics civilians should be divided into groups of six to deal with one beast! The other civilians should be divided into groups of ten to deal with one beast!"

"Attack their limbs to disable their movement!"

"Turn it over and attack its abdomen!"

Zhang Zhiwei's voice was as loud as a bell, reaching the ears of all the common people and the reserve soldiers of the city defense army.

Hong Guniang then said to Lu Jin, "Go and keep an eye on Charles beforehand, and see if he does anything unexpected."

Lu Jin nodded, quietly blending into the crowd and heading towards the central command hall of the lighthouse...

···

Inside the defense platform below.

Seeing that part of Beast Mountain had collapsed, creating distance between it and the bottom of the lighthouse, the core members of the city defense army finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"A section of Beast Mountain has collapsed; we can rest for a while now."

Orland laughed.

"Don't let your guard down!"

Hilda looked at the images transmitted by the bio-radar and said to Seng, "Commander-in-Chief, the beast horde is regenerating rapidly! Something is wrong!"

"what?"

Seng rushed over and stared at the radar screen. Besides the two-jawed beast, a huge spherical energy object was also detected, which sent a chill down his spine. "We don't know what's inside."
