Chapter 309 Demon Invasion

It was said before, even if it’s the same person, placed in two different environments, it’s highly likely they’ll develop completely different personalities in the end.

Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan are now a perfect example of this.

Xia Xinyan has experienced a real Cataclysm… or rather, her memories have gone through the Cataclysm, and she truly faced the ultimate Demon army in a decisive battle, so she understands the terror of those demons and what kind of existence humanity is up against.

Especially since she has failed once in her memories; under such circumstances, it’s hard not to have a somewhat pessimistic view on the significant changes happening now… or one might say worries?

But Ling Mo is different. He hasn’t experienced any of those events, nor does he have those memories. In fact, he hasn’t encountered too many significant difficulties—those enemies he once faced may not have been lacking in challenges, but to him, they weren’t a big deal.

With everything going so smoothly so far, even if he were bombarded with clear information about how dangerous the future is and how heavy the responsibilities are, it’s hard for him to think it’s a huge problem.

After all, he’s still a young man, filled with youthful confidence and vigor, not to mention he has that power—that’s his courage to fear nothing.

This was the first time Xia Xinyan clearly realized this point, and the first time she was so acutely aware of the difference between her and Ling Mo.

She couldn’t say whether this point is good or bad, but for Ling Mo’s current personality, it definitely had a positive effect. Not having many worries or psychological burdens wouldn’t bind him too much; only by letting go completely could he go further in the future.

On this front, perhaps she really had to learn from Ling Mo.

There was no need to worry too much about things that haven’t happened yet.

In comparison, Xia Xinyan felt the existence she should be more worried about right now was Ling Mo himself—this guy seemed to be gaining more and more initiative.

Even if she intended to compensate him… it felt rather dangerous to keep going this way.

She felt she should be a bit tougher now.

Unfortunately, before she had the chance to express her stance in front of Ling Mo, another thing suddenly broke into their current arrangements—

In reality, a Demon invasion occurred.

Just when the Chicks had just stabilized their stronghold and hadn’t even caught their breath, several demon invasion events suddenly erupted across the country, heralding the official arrival of the Cataclysm and completely shattering the surface peace of the world.

Moreover, these invasions happened quite suddenly, right in the dead of night, causing considerable damage while shocking everyone.

While the Summer Family was spreading news about the Cataclysm nationwide, most bystanders were skeptical.

After all, normal people wouldn’t think a game could destroy the world—although this game had already produced many surreal effects in the early stages, the information above was suppressed well. While it planned to gradually ease people into adapting, the abruptly arrived Cataclysm clearly didn’t leave them time for such a transition.

However, there were forces that had close ties with the Summer Family that reacted, including the investigation bureau; after all, this was about taking precautions. Better to be prepared and not have anything happen than to be caught unprepared when something does happen. But these things were so sensational, Summer Jincang couldn’t provide much convincing evidence, so those forces didn’t prepare as absolutely as the Summer Family.

Until this sudden real invasion event finally woke everyone up.

It also cost them quite a bit.

For the other regions affected by the Demon invasions, both Xia Xinyan and the Chicks had no ability to interfere, nor did they plan to take action. However, one specific invasion incident pulled most of the forces within Linjiang City into it—

The invasion took place in the Old Town of Linjiang City, and it wasn’t simply a matter of destruction; it influenced a broad range of concepts. The Old Town is chaotic and filled with various people, including many members of different forces, the Chicks included. This wave swept through and caught everyone.

Most importantly, the target Xia Xinyan had been fixating on lately was also within the influence range—Tang Chong’s sister, Tang Tang.

Last life, she was the one who helped build up the organization. Xia Xinyan had been wanting to find a chance to bring her into the organization, but unfortunately, there hadn’t been any time.

Now, it was Tang Chong himself who came looking for them; he practically fell to his knees in front of Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo, begging, “Boss Zhang! Boss Ling! Miss Xia! Please save my sister! She lives in the Old Town! I can’t contact her at all! Please, I beg you to save her! She’s my only family left!”

“What do you mean by that?” the chubby guy quickly helped him up, looking righteous. “Every member is part of our Chicks family; family definitely includes that! Even if you didn’t say so, we’ll undoubtedly rescue her! Besides, we have many brothers stuck there! How could we just stand by and do nothing?”

Tang Chong cried again—moved: “Thank you, Boss Zhang! Thank you, Boss Zhang! Meeting you is the biggest blessing of my life… As long as you can rescue my sister, I will follow any order you give without complaint!”

“That’s absolutely not the case!” The chubby guy immediately shook his head, his tone more sincere. “Everyone in the Chicks is my brother. Even if I die, I wouldn’t let my brothers die! Brother Tang, don’t say things like that! This isn’t the time to cry. We’re facing such a big incident; the Chicks are currently having a tough time. We will organize immediately to rescue, and I hope you can pull yourself together to support the backup and provide assurance for the frontline brothers!”

“Okay! I’ll go now!” Tang Chong wiped his tears and rushed out of the room as if on a mission.

Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan could clearly feel his back igniting with determination.

Ling Mo couldn’t help but be touched: “It’s a pity you don’t go into pyramid schemes.”

“I’m not lying,” the chubby guy shrugged, his expression quite serious. “I treat every member of the Chicks as my brothers; they are now in danger, and I can’t just sit idly by.”

“So how do you plan to rescue them?” Ling Mo asked.

“Split into two teams; one part goes to rescue the brothers who are trapped, while the other part deals with the trouble,” the chubby guy had a simple plan in mind. “The situation in the Old Town is bound to attract the attention of other major forces in Linjiang, and this is our chance; who knows, we might establish connections with some bigwigs.”

Xia Xinyan then chimed in, “Ling Mo and I will go save Tang Tang. After we rescue her, we’ll handle the trouble, and you can arrange the other matters.”

The chubby guy replied, “…Sure.”

That’s pretty good, at least he didn’t have to eat dog food behind these two anymore.
