Chapter 112: With Li Ye Here, The Blue Sky Returns
The outskirts of a Demon Realm continuously spreading outward pollution, though hard to eat, he had to admit he ate it with gusto.
It’s just that although the Authority curbed the spread of pollution, the area is too large, and there are still quite a few Demonic Creatures spreading outward.
Holding out for two hours was barely manageable, but now with some reinforcements added, it can even last longer.
But after holding out for thirty hours, it would pretty much be total annihilation.
He can continue, but these soldiers cannot; the pollution will definitely spread.
What to do if there’s not enough manpower?
Grab some!
The people who have come so far can hold out for a while, enough time for Li Ye to take action.
“Grab who?”
Fan Tie was a bit confused. “Haven’t all the ones who should come already arrived?”
Li Ye stopped in his tracks and glanced at these Martial Artists. The ones he looked at didn’t even dare to breathe.
Some people had only seen Li Ye once, but the impression was very deep.
How could it not be deep?
In one encounter, using their most proficient Weapon and proudest Moves, they were beaten until their Weapon broke and Moves were completely wasted.
If Li Ye had struggled even a bit against them, no one would be afraid.
What they fear is this kind: clearly not Three Realms, without True Essence, yet in the Breaking Through Realm, he crushes them like ants.
Especially now, those Demonic Creature Fragments all over the ground were the best manifestation of his martial prowess.
“These are Ningjiang’s Martial Artists, not Jinze’s.”
Li Ye said, “In front of the Demon Realm, there’s no reason for the front lines to be strained while the rear lines feast.”
Earlier, when he saw the video information on the Tablet, Li Ye had felt a nameless fire in his heart.
“Jinze’s Disinfection Bureau Chief is playing missing, two Deputy Bureau Chiefs resigned. Resigning in front of the Demon Realm—damn, they actually did it. Hanging out with these vermin, where does the Disinfection Bureau’s prestige come from? Find them and execute them all together!”
Those ten Disinfection Officers who went up with the Military to hold the line had already sacrificed before Li Ye arrived. In comparison, it felt even more ironic to him.
“Two—no, four hours already, and the reinforcements are still from our Ningjiang. Jinze City’s Martial Artists are like they’re dead. Since they like playing dead, might as well do it properly! I don’t like settling accounts after the fact; solve problems on the spot!”
The killing intent in those words made even Fan Tie feel a bit panicked, let alone the Ningjiang Martial Artists who were the first to bear the brunt.
The Martial Artists who heard this stared even harder at the ground, wishing a Demonic Creature would pop out somewhere so they could charge and kill it, better than being stared at by Li Ye like this.
“Wait, you’re Ningjiang’s Bureau Chief.” Fan Tie said in a daze.
“Just handling a case out of jurisdiction.”
Li Ye thought for a moment. “Second Realm ones, step forward.”
Three Second Realm Martial Artists straightened their backs.
“You three come with me; the rest stay behind and continue clearing the Demonic Creatures here.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the Demonic Creature remains on the ground. “Pick up a few things and bring them along.”
Song Zhengyu panicked seeing Li Ye about to leave. “Director Li, you’re counting on us?”
Ningjiang City had only sent one per district and county, totaling eleven people, and now the only three Second Realm ones were being taken away.
This was disregarding their lives.
“Right, almost forgot about you.”
Li Ye said, “You remaining nine, divide into three groups. Fan Tie, you command them. Have them push deeper inside; don’t let Demonic Creatures from deeper areas come out.”
Song Zhengyu: “…”
Better not to say anything at all.
Li Ye figured these Martial Artists were definitely enough to deal with the Mine’s Demonic Creatures. The Mine’s Demonic Creatures weren’t strong; mainly there were many in quantity, causing a lot of pollution that ordinary Martial Artists couldn’t handle.
The Military emphasizes collective tactics and effective use of Weapons; some soldiers don’t even have Four Dragon Gates, so dealing with them was a bit strenuous.
But the weakest here now are Eight Dragon Gates, absolutely enough for clearing Demonic Creatures.
Li Ye had already killed quite a few; the remaining Demonic Creatures, these Martial Artists could barely take over his role in clearing them. Plus the reinforcing troops, Li Ye estimated they could hold for three to five hours.
In that time, grabbing enough people would stabilize the battlefield and shrink the Pollution Line.
…
Jinze City Disinfection Bureau.
Also located in the Sanitation Bureau building, compared to Ningjiang, Jinze’s Disinfection Bureau was even more rundown, and inside it was deathly stagnant.
Even without the Bureau Chief missing, others resigning, and a few determined ones sacrificing, under normal circumstances, the Disinfection Bureau would be very depressed.
But this was the status quo for most Disinfection Bureaus.
Information Section Chief Zhong Chang was holding his Mobile Phone, speaking cautiously into it:
“Yes, you resigned, but now Demonic Creatures are causing chaos. We really can’t find anyone; please help out…”
The busy tone came from the phone.
He sighed, and at around forty years old, with that sigh, he seemed to age a whole circle.
The call log on the Mobile Phone had calls to the Disinfection Bureau Chief, but none connected.
The two Deputy Bureau Chiefs’ phones had been called no less than twenty or thirty times; later only busy tones remained, directly blacklisted.
The resigned Disinfection Officers did pick up, but their words implied they had resigned and it was none of their business.
Even those prominent Martial Artists, Zhong Chang had sought out, but with his position, others didn’t even acknowledge him.
The core message from these people was one: no use finding them; find the Chen Family.
This was exactly what Zhong Chang didn’t want.
“Section Chief, it’s no good!”
An Information Officer looked up from the computer and shouted, “That Demonic Creature has started moving. If this continues, it’s going to start harming people!”
Hearing this, Zhong Chang gritted his teeth and dialed a number.
Soon, the call connected.
“Chen Family Head, please lend a hand. A ‘Jie Dao Hai Gui’ is heading toward the main avenue; our people can’t stop it. Could you intervene on your side?”
“Yes, this is indeed the Disinfection Bureau’s responsibility, but right now we have no one available. I understand.”
Zhong Chang said, “The Disinfection Bureau from now on will definitely…”
He paused there, painfully closing his eyes.
The Disinfection Bureau had no one left; facing formed Demonic Creatures, no Solution even if there was one.
For this ‘Jie Dao Hai Gui’, the simplest Solution was to shoot it with a gun.
But it required a high-Realm Martial Artist to use the gun.
Their Disinfection Bureau only had Information Officers left, none with that capability.
Besides the Jie Dao Hai Gui, Demonic Creatures were appearing in various places in Jinze City. Without Disinfection Officers working, they could only watch helplessly.
In this situation, without the Chen Family’s nod, they couldn’t do anything.
Thinking of this, Zhong Chang sighed again, continuing from before, “From now on, we will definitely follow your le”
“Solved!”
Just as the words ‘ma shou shi zhan’ were starting, the monitoring Information Officer suddenly shouted, “The Demonic Creature has been solved!”
Zhong Chang immediately turned his head, seeing on the monitor there four people appearing on the road, with the one in front wielding Dual Swords, decapitating and dismembering the Demonic Creature.
But that wasn’t the point; the point was among those four, one was wearing a Disinfection Bureau Uniform!
That style…
Disinfection Bureau Chief?!
“Director Li, solved.”
On the main avenue, Bai Rongzu turned back with a fawning smile. “A mere Demonic Creature daring to block your path— no need for you to act; I handled it.”
Li Ye behind him glanced at the decapitated and bisected skeletal humanoid Demonic Creature, frowning slightly.
Jie Dao Hai Gui, a Demonic Creature that appears on roads, unrelated to the Demon Realm, just an ordinary Demonic Creature.
But its formation conditions are generally related to the Resentment of passersby. Long ago, during times of highwaymen and road tyrants, this kind appeared frequently; in recent years, they’ve almost vanished.
Didn’t expect to encounter one here.
Looks like the public security here isn’t great either.
Just as he thought that, a car sped out from the roadside, with a camera protruding from the back seat.
“Where did this nosy thing come from!”
With the voice, a burly Martial Artist with a tattoo on his neck got out from the passenger seat, cursing, “Damn it, is this your Demonic Creature that you’re exorcising it? Do you know you’ve caused trouble!”
After saying that, he paused, looking at Li Ye in his Uniform, raising an eyebrow. “Disinfection Bureau? Where’d this Disinfection Bureau come from? Didn’t they all walk off? Whatever, we’ll settle accounts later!”
He walked toward Bai Rongzu, stood in front of the Demonic Creature corpse, facing the camera. “Come on, film me here—make it handsome, majestic… Why the hell haven’t you scrammed yet!”
Seeing Bai Rongzu still standing there, he glared over.
“Yo?”
Bai Rongzu suddenly laughed. As a Second Realm Martial Artist, not many dared speak to him like this.
Normally, he would have already acted.
But now…
Bang!
In an instant, the burly Martial Artist was like hit by an air cannon, his whole body thrown back and crashing to the ground.
“Requisition the car, take the person too.”
Li Ye said flatly, “Head to the Disinfection Bureau first.”
The two beside him quickly went to the still-dazed burly Martial Artist, propped him up, stuffed him into the sedan, and by the way drove out the driver and cameraman inside.
“Destroy the footage. Are Demonic Creatures something you can just film casually?”
Li Ye looked over; Bai Rongzu immediately leaped and stabbed the camera to pieces with one sword, then ignored the trembling driver and cameraman, opened the car door, and waited like a servant for Li Ye to get in.
Then, Bai Rongzu floored the accelerator, and the car sped off toward the Disinfection Bureau location.
In the information room, Zhong Chang saw the vehicle seeming to head their way, and his eyes lit up.
“Chen Family Head, I’ve thought it over carefully. Though I’m just an Information Section Chief, I still represent the Disinfection Bureau. The responsibility of removing Demonic Creatures won’t trouble you. Of course, if you’re willing to assist, we’d warmly welcome it.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and said to the Information Officers, “Quick, we’re saved! Come with me to greet them; reinforcements have arrived!”
Others might not know, but as the Disinfection Bureau from the neighboring city, he recognized that face.
Not only recognized—he envied it!
As a neighboring city, he had always envied Ningjiang City’s Disinfection Bureau.
Two consecutive Bureau Chiefs were remarkable figures: Pan Zhengyang wiped out the Ren Family, Li Ye made all of Ningjiang City’s Martial Artists kneel.
Two Bureau Chiefs restored the Disinfection Bureau’s prestige!
As for their Jinze City…
Better not mention it.
But now Li Ye had come; a ray of hope appeared.
“Forget the past; this time I’m not cooperating! So many dead, and you still want to use us as cannon fodder—no way!”
Zhong Chang’s eyes flashed fiercely. “Even if I’m down and out, today I’ll stake my old life to fight you to the end!”
