402: Chapter 200: We Defend the Last Stand 402: Chapter 200: We Defend the Last Stand Westerners’ understanding of the word “history” has a very subtle difference from that of the people of Ming.
There was even a famous philosopher who once proposed the concept that “Ming Country does not have history.”
Wang Yunxiao had nothing to say about this—the official textbooks indeed did not record the handling thods of Divine Aberrations, whether to steam or to boil, whether with garlic sauce or spicy seasoning, there was no clear statent.
Sir Lyndon only knew it was a Divine Aberration, possessing at least one ability to modify the rules of reality.
As for what exactly the ability was—wasn’t it just born and hadn’t there been ti to experint?
That is to say, it was as good as not saying anything.
“Soone is inciting the public to riot, but it’s not a big problem, the outer military can handle it.”
Yan Yu’an dragged his weary body to Wang Yunxiao, sat down on the ground with a plop, and pulled off his mask to breathe in the fresh air deeply.
“Hey!
Don’t you…”
“It’s nothing, you’ve actually had your suspicions for a while now, she’s not the source of the infection.”
Yan Yu’an tilted his head toward the corner where the girl was curled up.
Wang Yunxiao said nothing.
He indeed had his suspicions, and from the very start, sothing felt off.
Based on the situation at the scene, those who first showed symptoms of infection were the officers and soldiers who did not wear any protective gear, followed by Han Bin and his team mbers.
Only the fully equipped Special Service Section squad, Yan Yu’an’s customs ergency team, and the Church’s tactical team were spared—and not to say there were no symptoms at all, but mostly just to the level of a fever or cold, which is much better than now being sent to the hospital for IV treatnts.
If you look at it from this angle alone, there indeed doesn’t seem to be a problem, but if you think about it carefully, you’ll find sothing doesn’t add up.
The fact that Wang Yunxiao and his team, who have been fighting on the front lines, were fine, while the officers and soldiers responsible for sealing off the streets on the periter fell ill, that’s unscientific.
It wasn’t a matter of whether they had gear or not, but rather that the scene wasn’t an enclosed environnt.
It’s not an office building, a gymnasium.
This was happening on the street, under the sunlight overhead, with river water flowing beside them, and the hot winds of the sumrti blowing…
With such good ventilation, even if you placed a can of surströmming here, the people on the periter wouldn’t be able to sll it, let alone catch any bacteria or viruses.
As soone who had traveled back from the future, Wang Yunxiao had a wealth of knowledge in this area, but for the people of this era, even regular cultural courses had yet to beco widespread, not to ntion such advanced knowledge.
Go even a few hundred years back, and they might even recomnd you the therapy of bloodletting and enemas.
However, considering the complexity and diversity of this world, Wang Yunxiao still made preparations for both outcos, staying beside this Divine Aberration with his n, observing whether the situation would worsen.
If he noticed anything amiss, he could imdiately start making BBQ.
But if there wasn’t a problem—just like now, even being so close to her for such a long ti, his condition didn’t worsen—then it was necessary to consider the possibility of other sources of contamination.
“I have an idea…”
Yan Yu’an said in a soft voice.
Wang Yunxiao imdiately perked up, “Let’s hear it!”
“You know our customs has always been dealing with the foreigners, so I have a better understanding of them.
Although there’s no actual evidence, based on my experience, I would say there’s likely the hand of demons behind this.”
“I think the things created by the Blood Cup Sect are much more disgusting than demons.”
“It’s not a question of being disgusting or not, you might not understand demons very well.
In the Christian religious system, Heaven and Hell are not only in opposition to each other but also interdependent.”
Yan Yu’an explained, “Many shallow believers who don’t understand doctrine think that light will inevitably defeat darkness, angels will certainly beat demons, and the Church propagates this too.
But in fact, demons are also a kind of angel, and Heaven actually needs Hell to highlight its own goodness.”
“In other words, they are not enemies but colleagues.”
“…So what does this have to do with the problems we are facing now?”
“I once heard a theory that Hell is the reflection of Heaven, and demons are inverted angels.
That’s why many demon sects use the inverted Cross as their symbol, and a lot of Hell magic is actually the inversion of Heaven Divine Arts, which is called blasphemy by the Church.”
Yan Yu’an paused for a mont, then said in a low voice, “So what I an is, if we can’t understand the opponent’s tactics, then we might as well try thinking about it from another perspective.
For example…”
Boom—!
A loud bang from the distance interrupted what he was about to say.
Wang Yunxiao and Yan Yu’an turned their heads simultaneously, only to see a burst of flas, followed by the sound of gunfire.
Yan Yu’an listened carefully for two seconds, then frowned and said, “That’s not our gunfire!”
Wang Yunxiao also realized it.
Damn it, the sound of the gunfire wasn’t right.
Why were the bullets flying towards them?
But before he could react, a swath of red light enveloped him.
A blood-red tide tore through the night sky, descending from above and turning into countless ribbons that fluttered in every direction, revealing a red-clad woman in their midst.
She held a human head in each hand, with two additional pairs of arms extending from her back, each holding a magic artifact.
As the six eyes on her face opened simultaneously, the world’s colors changed, and even the boundaries between reality and illusion began to blur.
Today was the freaking end of the month!
So busy that he hadn’t even had ti for a al, Wang Yunxiao had almost forgotten how special this day was.
When the Moon is obscured, the Outer Dinsion invades the Real World.
The situation was already complicated enough.
Could you demons and evil spirits please stop adding to the chaos?
But they had already arrived…
What the hell was the Special Service Bureau doing?
How could they let Great Evil Spirits that obviously looked extrely dangerous run loose in the streets?
Even Ji Zai would be more useful than them!
Despite his complaints, it wasn’t the ti to wonder if reinforcents were coming.
“Enemy attack!
Form up!”
Wang Yunxiao shouted hoarsely, his voice strained as if there were tiny knives swirling in his throat, feeling weak and powerless.
Part of the reason was hunger – he hadn’t felt like eating all day.
His n scrambled to gather, rolling and crawling to form the most familiar formation behind Wang Yunxiao.
However, as they assembled, more demons and evil spirits rushed in from other directions.
“Bring over the gasoline!”
At this mont, Wang Yunxiao was extrely grateful for his foresight – although one might call it a lucky guess.
He had stockpiled a large amount of gasoline, fearing it wouldn’t be enough to kill the Divine Aberration.
He had emptied the fuel tanks of two military trucks and even chopped down two willows by the river, splitting them into firewood and stacking them in the ruins behind him.
“Think I’m a sick cat when I’m not being a tiger?
Co at !”
