Fighting you is like being in jail.

Despite employing various tactics, the other party emerged unharmed and even greeted them warmly.

"An opponent like this... can no longer be called human. What kind of being are we fighting?"

The staff officer took a deep breath and stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely at a loss for what to do next.

This is a situation with no solution.

He single-handedly defeated the entire world.

At this moment, Shi Qiang spoke up, saying seriously:

"We don't need to worry about this or that. We just need to do one thing: protect the city! As for Leng Chang's problem, let the higher-ups deal with it."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded silently, finding it quite reasonable.

As long as Leng Chang doesn't lay a hand on ordinary people, it's not a problem.

……

The day after the nuclear explosion.

The square center, which had just been almost completely repaired, was where Leng Chang carried a chair and sat down, since the cement in the newly repaired area hadn't dried yet.

However, from the moment Leng Chang appeared, everyone around felt their scalp tingle. The construction team consisted of military personnel, so they naturally recognized Leng Chang.

But seeing Leng Chang sit down and continue playing the game, I breathed a sigh of relief; at least I didn't have to worry about the battle.

Leng Chang's strength has already proven everything; there's no need to be afraid anymore.

Then, after Leng Chang had been playing for a while, his phone rang with a text message.

"Mr. Leng, this is Long Heng. I'm very sorry to bother you, but our organization's base has been attacked. If possible, please help rescue our personnel. The location is..."

Upon seeing the message, Leng Chang's eyes instantly sharpened.

Is this because they know they can't deal with me, so they're taking it out on others?

Whether it is true or not, this is something that will infuriate the other side.

Having realized this, Leng Chang disappeared from the spot without saying a word.

……

The location is at the West Steel Plant.

Gunfire erupted continuously, and even the factory was engulfed in flames. Soldiers in black combat uniforms stood vigilantly in the open space, where a dozen or so people were being held captive.

There were men and women, and their faces showed panic, but some of them remained calm.

They were just attacked and arrested before they could react, with absolutely no chance to fight back.

It was as if it were locked in place; none of the people present managed to escape.

There is simply no way to deal with it.

Fortunately, none of the attacking soldiers killed anyone; they were simply all bound.

Just when everyone had given up hope, a whooshing sound came from the sky.

As the blast wave descended, Leng Chang stood on the ground.

He looked at the soldiers around him with a friendly smile and shouted confidently.

"Let's fight!"

"What?! It's Leng Chang!?"

"Quack! It's Leng Chang! Retreat!"

Upon seeing that it was Leng Chang, the surrounding soldiers immediately retreated warily.

The events of the past few days have made Leng Chang's name known throughout the military, to the point that encountering Leng Chang could lead to abandoning a mission.

Leng Chang looked at the retreating soldiers and said calmly, "You can leave, but the people stay."

"withdraw!"

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing Leng Chang's words, everyone evacuated at top speed, rushing into the armored vehicle and speeding away without looking back.

After these people left, Leng Chang walked to the group of people whose hands had been helped, looked at them carefully, and asked:

How were you discovered?

The leader frowned, pondered for a long time, and then shook his head. "I don't know. We've hidden it very well. But it's as if the other side knows every single one of us..."

"A mole?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be a problem on our end."

"Alright, what's next?"

"We will evacuate and change our identities. We may not be able to participate in subsequent operations. Thank you for your help. We can leave on our own afterward."

The leader stood up from the ground and looked at Leng Chang with gratitude.

Leng Chang nodded, took a step, and disappeared instantly. Almost at the same time, he returned to the chair in the center of the square.

The entire round trip takes less than ten minutes, and you only need to travel along one road.

At the same time, a message was released: this organization is under Leng Chang's protection, and they will not be polite if they come again.

When this intelligence was conveyed to Shi Qiang, he glanced at it and reported it directly, and then it was forgotten.

The next few days were very quiet, and life returned to its peaceful state once again.

But I sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

……

While sorting through intelligence in the basement, Long Heng suddenly saw a message that seemed amiss.

He frowned, sensing a familiar feeling.

The West District Investigation Team has gone missing; the reason is unknown.

This news is clearly not right; the only explanation is that the reconnaissance team was wiped out!

"Oh no! The beast tide is coming!!"

Long Heng suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

He ran quickly to the basement living room to call for help.

At this moment, Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, Iori Kitahara, Kazuma Sato, and Lisa Ye were all present. They saw Ryu Heng run out and hear him shout:

"The beast tide is coming!"

"What!?"

Ye Lisha immediately stood up, staring wide-eyed at Long Heng, even forgetting her next move.

She asked nervously, "What's going on?! Are you sure it's a beast tide?!"

"It's confirmed! The reconnaissance team outside the West District has lost contact! The only thing that could cause this is the eve of the beast tide, which you may not know. But as the commander-in-chief, I know a lot about the beast tides. Every time before a beast tide, the reconnaissance team loses contact. I don't know if it's because of the spatial vortex, but as long as there is a large vortex, communication around it will definitely disappear."

Long Heng said solemnly, with absolute certainty.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lisha's pupils contracted, and she suddenly recalled the beast tide that wiped out the western district in her previous life, which was also the time when the external reconnaissance team lost contact.

Now that I know the situation, it seems that the beasts can be controlled by humans, which means that the beast tide that wiped out the western district has come ahead of schedule!

Damn it! How could this be!

A violent aura erupted from Ye Lisha, as if the entire living room had been shrouded in a somber atmosphere.

Although I don't understand why the West District was destroyed in the previous life, I am quite certain of the reason in this life.

The mastermind behind this wants to use a beast tide to kill Leng Chang, or at least use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the western district to annoy Leng Chang.

This is extremely malicious!!

How could that guy do such a thing!

What do you think life is?!

Ye Lisha clenched her teeth in anger, completely at a loss for words to describe her emotions.

Homura Akemi shook her phone and said, "I've already notified Leng Chang. With him around, there shouldn't be any problems. But we can't just sit idly by, since we can't be sure if something will go wrong."

"How to arrange?"

Madoka Kaname curiously peered at Homura Akemi.

Homura Akemi smiled and said seriously, "It's simple. Lisa Ye and Uncle Long stay here to gather intelligence. Let us know if anything happens. The rest of you, one person from each of the four districts, will take turns. That way, we'll be almost foolproof."

"Is it finally our turn to take the stage?"

Kitahara Iori grinned confidently; he had been getting a little bored these past few days.

"These mere strange beasts are nothing to fear!"

Kazuma Sato was also eager to try.

Ye Lisha sighed apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help."

"No way, you're clearly in charge, Ye Lisha. We have absolutely no experience in combat command."

"I'm serious," Kaname Madoka said, looking at Ye Lisha with wide eyes.

"Yes! I'll do it well."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lisha nodded, immediately filled with enthusiasm.

On the other side, in the center of the square.

Upon learning of the beast tide, Leng Chang's lips curled into a triumphant smile.

"The plan worked perfectly! I have to say, if you had stayed behind the scenes, there wouldn't have been any way to catch you. But now that you've shown yourself, things are different."

As he spoke, his eyes gradually sharpened, filled with anticipation, and his smile turned sinister.

It must be said that this opponent is extremely troublesome. Once they choose to go into hiding, the final outcome is anyone's guess.

My situation these days has only caused trouble for the other party, and all the actions taken by the higher-ups have been ineffective.

He directly used his invincible strength to tell the other party that he had no way to deal with them. Even if they didn't target him personally, but instead went after the hidden organization, he would still be blocked by them.

This is a situation where you'd get hit if you just reached out.

If Leng Chang can still remain calm under such circumstances, then he is truly remarkable and utterly unassailable.

But the guy behind it panicked.

With no other option, they had to resort to the previously hidden method: the beast tide.

As long as the beast tide comes, it can hold me back no matter what, and during this time I will definitely do something.

It must be said that this was indeed a good way to feint to the east while attacking in the west.

However, the result was still the same and it didn't work.

Once you've ended the beast tide, the only remaining cards you have are those you'll play yourself.

Judging from their actions these days, it can be roughly inferred that the person behind the scenes is not a patient person.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have so easily used a nuclear bomb to destroy themselves, even at the cost of sacrificing the entire Azure City to eliminate themselves.

Is it... fear? Or has it sensed something?

It's important to know that behind the strange beasts, there's not only a mastermind, but also a system.

I just don't know what role the system plays in all of this.

……

The arrival of the beast tide didn't give Azure City much time. In fact, by the time Shi Qiang, who was in charge of the defense, received the news, he could already see the beast tide gathering on the radar.

He lacked experience as the commander-in-chief and didn't even notice the reconnaissance team's loss of contact in advance like Long Heng did.

"Damn it! Why am I only getting this news now?!"

In the conference room, Shi Qiang roared as he slammed the notice on the table and yelled at the people around him.

The expressions of shock on the faces of everyone present were evident, and one of them immediately stood up to report.

"How is that possible! I uploaded the intelligence two days ago!"
