Chapter 215 Cleaning Up the Battlefield! Don't miss even a single scrap of flesh!
The dawn pierced through the thick smoke of battle, and golden sunlight shone on the scorched frozen soil on the northern slope of Mount Gongga.
The giant waves on the sea gradually subsided, leaving only countless floating corpses bobbing up and down with the waves, like a pot of overcooked dumplings.
The air was thick with the suffocating stench of blood and burning flesh, but to the survivors, it was the sweetest smell in the world.
That's the taste of victory.
"You...you won?"
It's unclear who broke the silence first.
Immediately afterwards, suppressed cries, frantic roars, and the thud of weapons hitting the ground merged into a wave of sound that soared into the sky.
"We won!! We survived!!"
"Long live the Dragon God!! Humanity will prevail!!"
Countless soldiers embraced and wept, some knelt on the ground and kissed the earth, while others fired wildly into the sky to vent their anger.
This night was too long, too desperate, and too glorious.
On the sea surface of the North Slope, Lu Sheng did not rush to enjoy the cheers.
He was shirtless, his strong muscles still covered with dried golden scabs, and his dark golden vertical pupils coldly scanned the entire scene.
"Zhou Hai! Zhao Ze! Su Li!"
Lu Sheng's voice wasn't loud, but it was precisely transmitted to the three people's ears through the spiritual source.
"arrive!!"
The three of them pushed through the crowd and rushed to Lu Sheng.
Although everyone was wounded, the eyes of these three guys shone with an alarming light, a transformation born from the baptism of war.
"Don't just get carried away with your excitement." Lu Sheng pointed to the scattered corpses of high-level drowned beings on the battlefield, his tone as stern as a miser: "Clean up the battlefield! All corpses above level 4, especially the fragments of those level 8 drowned beings, don't miss a single piece of meat! They're all resources! Understand?"
Zhou Hai was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "Understood! Don't worry, boss, I'll scrape the land three layers deep for you!"
This is Lu Sheng; even after becoming the savior, his first reaction is still to touch the corpse.
After settling the household chores, Lu Sheng brought Luo Tianfei to the command platform.
The old general, Sea God, was leaning on the Xuanyuan Sword, panting heavily, while his guards were frantically bandaging his wounds.
Upon seeing Lu Sheng approach, the old general struggled to stand up straight and salute.
Lu Sheng stepped forward, pressed down on the old general's shoulder, and transferred a gentle spiritual energy to him.
"General, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard work...it's not hard work..." The old general looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes slightly red and his voice trembling: "Young friend Lu...no, Commander Lu, you are the backbone of humanity! If it weren't for you, these hundreds of thousands of people would probably be dead today."
"It's my duty." Lu Sheng said calmly, without taking credit for anything.
He turned around and looked toward the other mountain ranges in the distance, which were still shrouded in dark clouds.
The faint roar of artillery fire could still be heard from there.
"General, I'm leaving this mess to you." Lu Sheng straightened his somewhat tattered trousers, his eyes sharpening. "Although the Abyss Corpse King is dead, the millions of zombies it brought are still here. The defenses of the other mountain ranges may not be able to hold out."
The old general was taken aback, then his expression turned solemn with respect: "You're going to support them?"
"I suppose so." Lu Sheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "After all, we're all fellow human beings, so it's good to lend a hand whenever possible."
Of course, his true thought was—we haven't finished killing the monsters over there yet, and we haven't gotten the crystal cores, how can we waste them?
Lu Sheng turned to look at Luo Tianfei, who had a cold and aloof expression, beside him.
"M--cough cough, Miss Phoenix." Lu Sheng almost called out that nickname again, but after seeing the flame rising in the other party's hand, he wisely changed his words, "Interested in going for a drive with me?"
Luo Tianfei narrowed her phoenix eyes and gave him a cold glance: "Going for a drive? You want me to be your free bodyguard, don't you?"
"How can you call them thugs?" Lu Sheng said with a straight face, "This is called technical exchange between god-level sequences. Besides... I gave you the core of that Abyss Corpse King just now, shouldn't you show your appreciation?"
Upon mentioning the crystal core, Luo Tianfei's imposing aura immediately weakened.
Cannibals are soft and short.
"Hmph." Luo Tianfei raised her chin arrogantly, sheathing her long sword. "For the sake of that crystal core, I'll accompany you. But let me make this clear first, I won't fight small fry; that would be beneath me."
"make a deal."
Lu Sheng grinned.
The two figures flickered and instantly transformed into two streaks of light, one gold and one red, disappearing into the horizon.
Left alone on the command platform, the old general watched the two figures depart, muttering to himself, "Auspicious dragon and phoenix... It seems the heavens of this apocalyptic world are truly about to change."
The Langman Mountains are about 80 kilometers away from Mount Gongga.
There is no pillar of strength like Lu Sheng here, nor heavy firepower support like the Zhenhai.
The defenses were already riddled with holes.
"Hold on!! Everyone hold on for me!!"
A level 7 commander, covered in blood, was wielding his sword, slashing down a level 5 armored zombie that had climbed onto the trench.
He watched in despair as the black horde of corpses surged toward him like a tidal wave, his knife trembling.
"There are too many... we can't possibly kill them all..."
"There's been no movement from Mount Gongga. Has it already fallen?"
"It's over... Humanity has no hope..."
Despair spread like a plague. On the sea, countless low-level floating corpses covered the entire field of vision like a black carpet, while several enormous level 6 giant corpses were frantically ramming into the defensive fortifications at the foot of the mountain.
Just one second before the defense line was about to collapse.
"boom--!!!"
On the sea, two meteors streaked across the surface, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, and instantly arrived at the front of the battlefield.
A strong gust of wind dispersed the smoke, revealing two figures.
One male and one female.
The man was tall and slender, shirtless, with dragon shadows faintly swirling around him; the woman was clad in crimson armor, like a goddess descended to earth, unapproachable.
"Those are...reinforcements?!"
The survivors below stared in disbelief at the scene.
Luo Tianfei glanced at the nauseating sea of corpses before her with her phoenix eyes, her brows furrowing slightly: "Why are they all such low-grade trash? Where are those level 8 drowned ones from before?"
"They ran away." Lu Sheng shrugged, a hint of disappointment flashing in his dark golden dragon eyes. "When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. With the Corpse King dead, those intelligent high-level monsters are smarter than anyone else and have already slipped back to the deep sea. The rest are just brainless cannon fodder."
"So you're still going to take action?" Luo Tianfei took a half step back, looking disgusted. "Killing these things would dirty my hands."
"You don't understand."
Lu Sheng licked his lips, looking down at the millions of moving spirit source crystals below, his eyes flashing with a light of greed.
In his eyes, this was hardly a filthy horde of floating corpses.
This is clearly a walking spiritual source crystal core, a mountain of resources, and the cornerstone for building an invincible force in the future.
Even a small mosquito bite is still meat; little by little, it adds up. This spendthrift woman clearly doesn't know how to be thrifty and manage a household!
