Merging with Demon Spirits-Chapter 523 - 373: Shangjing in Turmoil

When the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and shone upon the earth, Shangjing was already in a state of agitation and unrest.

Today, apart from some crucial positions, all companies and factories in Shangjing were given a unified day off.

This was a rare rest day, but no one was sleeping in today.

Before dawn, people quickly got up, washed, and with complex feelings, walked out of their homes without even having breakfast.

The streets and alleys were crowded with pedestrians everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, densely packed.

The crowd moved like a tide, all heading in the same direction, a sea of people as far as the eye could see.

Their expressions were serious, with a hint of gravity, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

Among the crowd, there were quite a few families moving together.

Young children might not understand what was happening, but they felt the emotions of those around them and their parents, so they didn’t cry or make a fuss.

Outside the Space Gate of the Land of Chaos.

The area within a ten-kilometer radius was already covered with a sea of people, forty to fifty thousand had gathered, and more continued to arrive.

Tens of thousands were gathered, yet it was orderly, without chaos, or even much noise.

Even their breathing seemed deliberately subdued.

They gazed at the Space Gate floating mid-air, flickering with fluorescence, their eyes filled with unease and terror.

The Space Gate, originally only five meters in size, had expanded to eighty meters long and fifty meters wide, capable of accommodating thousands of people entering simultaneously.

At this moment, Hong Tao and the other two stood with their backs to the Space Gate, their expressions also somewhat solemn.

It was now seven o’clock; in two hours, they would officially enter the Land of Chaos.

This time, the Key battle was absolutely crucial!

If they failed, Shangjing would face the world’s first 11-star Doomsday Level Space Gate, which could not be closed.

If a Doomsday Level Space Gate appeared, it would mean the day of the Alien Race invasion was imminent.

Soon after, a second and a third ten-star level Space Gate would merge.

In front of the three Emperors, twenty-seven figures stood quietly, continually joined by others.

Among these people were many familiar faces.

There were Guardians from various Base Cities, powerful Kings, as well as super geniuses and professional players.

There were also some unfamiliar Martial Artists and Demon Spirit Masters.

At a distance of a hundred meters from the Land of Chaos stood the hundred-meter tall Zhongxi Mansion.

At that moment, the Light Curtain outside the building was turned on, quickly drawing people’s attention.

Outside the Light Curtain, faces and names continuously appeared.

These faces were those entering the Land of Chaos this time. Besides geniuses and strong individuals, there were also some strangers.

"Zhang Xun!"

"Chen Fan!"

"Wang Xingxing!"

People shouted the names appearing on the Light Curtain loudly; the cries of millions washed over Shangjing like a tsunami, turning the once-quiet Shangjing into a state of frenzy.

At this moment, Lin Feng was having breakfast with his family; today’s breakfast was lavishly extravagant.

Compared to yesterday, Lin Fang and the others were very silent today. Though they tried hard to act normal and not pressure Lin Feng, emotions couldn’t be disguised.

Lin Feng also pretended to be calm and refrained from saying comforting words.

It took a full hour to finish breakfast; under everyone’s gaze, Lin Feng and his group, armed to the teeth, walked out of the hotel and boarded the bus.

"The atmosphere’s giving me the chills, feels like we might not come back,"

Yu Qiao said with a laugh, his tone lighthearted.

"Haha, there’s quite some pressure, but with our strength and moving together, no need to worry,"

Yun Tianqi added.

Since Lin Feng’s family was still present, everyone acted very relaxed, as if they were unconcerned.

On both sides of the road, people waved their hands and shouted loudly as the bus drove by.

Twenty minutes later, the bus slowly came to a halt.

Yu Qiao was the first to get off, followed closely by everyone else.

As the bus stopped and Lin Feng and the others appeared on the Light Curtain, the volume of the crowd’s roar increased several times over.

"Yu Qiao!"

"Ye Qiu!"

"Yue Mingming!"

"Zhan Tianyu!"

"Lin Feng!"

The people screamed hysterically, looking somewhat insane. Some wept as they shouted, unable to hold back their tears.

This time, the fusion of the Land of Chaos had such a significant impact that the government did not hide it, nor could they.

Everyone knew the importance of the Key and how perilous this Key battle was.

Only entry, no exit.

These four words alone sufficed to convey how brutal and bloody it would be.

Even Kings might fall, and no one knew how many would survive this time.

Lin Feng and the others, the youngest only 20, the oldest just 22!

They were remarkably talented, acknowledged as the cream of the crop, but ultimately just a bunch of kids who hadn’t yet graduated from university, Little Sister Dong still looking somewhat innocent.

They could have chosen not to enter the Land of Chaos; at such a young age, no one would have blamed them. Yet, they willingly stepped onto the battlefield to fight against the Alien Race...

"I’m leaving, I’ll be back soon."

Lin Feng said to his mother.

Lin Fang’s eyes reddened, she lowered her head slightly, just nodded, without farewell.

She dared not speak, fearing she would break down crying if she did.

"Bro, you promised to pick me up after school."

Ma Lele, being quite young, didn’t want to cry, but couldn’t hold back, crying while hugging Lin Feng’s waist tightly.

As Ma Lele cried, Lin Fang and Lin Kerou couldn’t hold back anymore, Old Ma’s eyes also reddened.

"Why are you crying!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lin Feng smiled helplessly, wiping his sister’s tears: "I’ll come pick you up after school when I’m back."
