Abyss Summoner-Chapter 328 - 321: The Swarm Descends

At this moment, the fear experienced by people was indescribable; almost all the children and women burst into tears, mixed with the shouts, prayers, and curses of others, merging instantly, chaotic and noisy like boiling water.

Many started to scream frantically, some idiots even ran aimlessly away, trying to climb trees or high slopes, causing chaos among the crowd.

The mobilization power was demonstrated, hundreds of warriors were dispatched simultaneously, holding some riot shields and armor made from insect armor, rushed into the crowd, urgently restraining those overly frightened people. Meanwhile, the medical department also made an emergency dispatch, providing treatment to those trampled victims in the quickest manner.

Force can sometimes solve problems more effectively; under the intervention of the combat department, the crowd began to gradually calm down, although still somewhat chaotic, not as dangerous as before.

Most of the people escaped to relatively safe environments.

After more than ten minutes, the earthquake seemed mostly calmed down; although there were occasional aftershocks of magnitude four or five, it was no longer prone to collapse, cracks, or upheavals, relatively considered safe now.

However, the camp walls had several huge cracks shockingly, unimaginable if the tremor were stronger, this defensive wall might have collapsed.

And within the camp, over twenty buildings showed signs of damage; as for casualties, since there was no widespread collapse, only some trampling incidents causing injuries, even if there were casualties, it’s likely not a very horrifying number.

Looking at the environment like ruins, seeing those uprooted trees, hearing the rumble of aftershocks, each survivor felt their hearts bleeding, and that oppressive and heavy panic once again spread among the crowd.

Indeed, the power of order is incredibly strong, protecting everyone from monster attacks, but... human force is limited in the face of such disasters, no one can resist the terror of natural calamities.

Faced with disasters that human powers cannot defeat, humans lost from technological civilization are nothing but ants, ready to be crushed to death at any moment.

In such circumstances, everyone felt numb, not knowing what to do, living day by day without a guarantee, once again enveloped their hearts.

Even Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh, sitting on the ground with eyes staring blankly at the cracked houses, dazed for a moment.

The earthquake came too suddenly.

But it’s not the most terrifying.

The most heart-trembling for him was, regarding this disaster, he surprisingly had no memory in his mind, what does it signify? It’s a calamity that didn’t appear in the previous life at all.

Perhaps some butterfly effect, for the first time, Chen Feng felt the sensation of bewilderment and helplessness.

In the past, he had the memory of foreseeing fortune and misfortune as reliance, often making responses before danger struck, but now, this earthquake appeared so suddenly, making him feel somewhat afraid afterward.

"Earthquake."

Chen Feng murmured, a sense of ominousness suddenly emerged in his heart.

Earthquakes cannot occur without reason, there must be some force indirectly causing this disaster to descend, could it be...

Chen Feng’s pupils shrank, his face suddenly turned pale.

The tremor was far in the direction of Bridge West.

Because of his arrival, this world has undergone some changes, in the previous life, when the insect emperor launched an attack, the five insect kings attacked simultaneously.

But now, three insect kings are already dead, even if the insect emperor reacts slowly, it must be aware when its underlings keep disappearing.

Normally, over a month later, the insect emperor would deploy forces to start attacking, but the disappearance of the insect kings might have drawn its attention, might the other side attack earlier?

With this thought.

Chen Feng’s heart began to beat wildly, everything happened too suddenly, he only felt his limbs a bit cold, thoughts ran through his brain several times, after confirming there’s indeed such possibility, he opened his mouth and yelled to his subordinates with the loudest voice:

"Sound the alarm!"

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Immediately, an urgent alarm sound started ringing above the order, hearing this alarm, everyone was stunned, not only the survivors, even the soldiers evacuating the crowd looked dumbly at the sky, then leaving some behind to make arrangements, the rest, like madmen, donned all their gear and ran towards the square.

Assembly bugle.

This was the highest summons in the camp, as long as they heard this alert, all professionals and warriors employed in the Economic Development Zone, unless suffering illness or significant injury, must personally go to the frontline...

Everyone knew what this signified.

War.

Is about to start!

Mr. Fang lifted his head, he stretched his muscles slightly, compared to those warriors with solemn faces, his enthusiasm was exceptionally high.

His thought was simple, war signified the monsters he created could truly show their value!

The medical department began packing gear, once war breaks out, most of them need to follow the army, in the event of casualties, they’ll provide immediate rescue.

Zhang Jianxiong put aside his work, mobilized the most elite combat personnel, and rushed towards the square. Wei Xun did the same; when he heard the alarm, he first trembled, then gathered his subordinates and began merging with the crowd.

A group of animal-masked members of the Dark Department first appeared on the street. These people varied in size and appearance; some had bodies completely sanded, some had right hands that could communicate with humans, some had wolf ears and tails, wielding a giant longsword. In short, these "people" simply standing there exuded an extraordinary aura, giving onlookers a sense of discordance.

"Go!"

A deep voice sounded, and immediately, these dozen or so people quickly advanced like scattered leaves in the wind, heading to where the adult had summoned them.

The Doom Lady opened the door, listening intently to the sounds from the sky, yet her face remained startlingly unchanged.

After a period of recruitment, the church’s numbers had reached eighty-nine. Although there was a substantial gap from her desired number, gains and losses coexist, and life had indeed undergone a tremendous change.

At the very least, there were people to take care of food, clothing, and shelter, making life no longer the ascetic existence she once led.

The Doom Lady remembered the agreement between her and Chen Feng. He would provide land and food, and in return, she would contribute some power when the city needed it.

"Such a hassle." The Doom Lady sighed, then began to assemble a team. This was a special squad composed entirely of professionals, which, once assembled, started moving towards their destination.

...............

In the vast square.

In the distance, rows of warriors stood in neat formation, and beside them was an equally solemn group of skeletons and zombies. These corpses exuding the aura of the undead harbored a fighting spirit no weaker than that of human warriors.

More than two thousand people and a thousand undead creatures stood here, and anyone witnessing the scene would feel dwarfed by such might, as the creatures and the atmosphere exuded a sense of oppressive madness and slaughter.

This was the call to assembly.

The first battle of all Order warriors!

Chen Feng surveyed everything from above.

He frowned, and at this moment, his expression conveyed some information to everyone.

Although he had waited for this day for a long time, the sudden arrival of the insects still stirred indescribable emotions within him.

The tremors were felt from hundreds of miles away. If not mistaken, the insects had already emerged from their nest, commencing their war of invasion.

The East Bridge would inevitably seek support, but the journey for aid would delay some time. Knowing all this, Chen Feng would not remain passive; he intended to take initiative and head to the East Bridge to confront this formidable enemy alongside them.

This was no longer a simple matter of one thriving after the other’s demise.

But one that concerned his life and property. As a buffer point, if the East Bridge fell, the Economic Development Zone would be like a small boat adrift on the sea, facing the pounding waves, potentially leading to shipwreck and loss of life.

This was a battle with no retreat.

In the past, the insects were like a steel saber hanging over Chen Feng’s neck, and now, the saber had already been unsheathed. Would he meekly await execution, or organize forces to clash and completely annihilate the threat to remove future worries?

Chen Feng would undoubtedly choose the latter.

A flame ignited on his body, and within seconds, Chen Feng transformed from a human into a terrifying Demon.

At this moment.

A longsword appeared in Chen Feng’s hand, which he raised high.

A potent aura of slaughter began to surge.

Everyone felt a fear and trembling emanating from their souls, as if their hearts were being clenched by a bloodthirsty Demon, rendering their bodies rigid and their tongues totally immobilized, unable to utter a single word.

The atmosphere on site was terrifyingly oppressive; the vast world was suffocatingly silent, seemingly devoid of any seismic noises, only the scent of sulfur wafting into everyone’s noses.

If the man before them were an enemy, they would not even have the courage to fight, but now, everyone knew that this man was none other than the soul of this camp.

The true leader!

"Fight!"

As the cold and resonant voice rose, Wei Xun, Zhang Jianxiong, and Lu Wei were the first to step forward, drawing their weapons and letting out a few hoarse roars like followers.

This was like the ocean waves; initially just a layer, but as the strong winds arose, countless waves surged up, instantly spiraling a powerful momentum.

This was a battle about life and death.

Everyone should understand one thing: to survive, they must muster all their courage and strength!
