Chapter 69 Tsushima Horror
The sunken frigate went unnoticed. Enraged, Smith was ordered north to join other allies on maritime patrols.
At the same time, the United States issued an order requiring neighboring countries to refrain from exploring the relevant waters and to withdraw all civilian ships, detectors, and other equipment.
The US's words carried much more weight; the surrounding countries that had been stirring up trouble immediately became docile, and not a single plane dared to take off.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zha and the others finally arrived, albeit late.
General Smith greeted them on the deck.
Seeing Chu Xuan and the others walk off the deck one by one, Wang Lu said:
"These are my subordinates. They can detect spirits and have methods to kill them. I specifically arranged for them to operate with you to ensure the safety of the army."
Smith cautiously observed the people emerging from the escape pods, finding them all rather unremarkable. Especially the man named Zhang Jie, who looked rather listless.
"His name is Zhang Jie, and he can monitor whether there are spirits in an area within a range of hundreds of kilometers."
"That amazing?"
Smith immediately put away his contempt.
After everyone disembarked, Wang Lu immediately said:
"Time is of the essence. Many people living by the sea have realized the disaster is coming and are fleeing to the sea in various small boats. These boats vary in size and speed, and can easily form stepping stones at sea."
"Our goal is to kill those spirits that have spread to the sea but have lost their target and are now drifting aimlessly on the sea."
Smith nodded gravely and asked, "And what about us?"
Wang Lu chuckled: "You guys, of course, will use the largest-scale long-range firepower to destroy those people and ships on the coast who haven't had time to escape yet."
"Shit! Isn't this a massacre?" Smith's expression changed drastically.
Wang Lu chuckled and said:
"It depends on how you interpret it. If you insist on thinking that way, then I will contact the president and ask him to replace him with someone smarter and more capable of understanding."
“…………”
Smith certainly didn't really care whether it was a massacre or not; he was just acting too much and couldn't help himself for a moment.
"Ahem, for the survival of humanity, for love and justice, these are necessary sacrifices."
"Good that you understand. Let's begin the operation immediately. A large number of allied warships, as well as warships drawn from other sea areas, will join the operation."
"I'm pressed for time and don't have time to chat with you."
After saying that, Wang Lu flew into the sky with a loud bang.
As he just said, a large number of refugees have already fled the coast in small boats, but they have not gone far enough and are still being targeted by the vengeful spirits on the shore.
In this way, the vengeful spirit was taken to the sea.
Some ships that had fled far away and escaped the pursuit of the vengeful spirits were now back in the vengeful spirits' sight.
And so, in this cycle, countless vengeful spirits began to spread towards the sea.
Wang Lu left Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan, and Ling Dian on the island because their positions were too crucial; they couldn't be left unattended.
The Tsushima Strait is only a few dozen kilometers wide at its narrowest point.
Zhan Lan, who was constantly scanning with her mental energy, suddenly twitched her brow.
Something's up!
She immediately activated the mental chain and shared the scanning perspective with Zero and Chu Xuan.
The two then saw the presence of the spirit.
On a fishing boat, people were crammed together to escape. Suddenly, one of them rolled his eyes back, then his whole body stiffened, his tongue lolled out, and he fell silent.
"ah!!"
The crowd immediately began to scream and jumped off the ship to escape. But it was too late. One ghost turned into two, then two into four. In just over ten minutes, everyone on the ship had turned into vengeful spirits, floating on the sea searching for signs of life.
Suddenly, an island came into view.
"Ha! Ah!"
The vengeful spirits buzzed and rushed over as if they had smelled flies buzzing in the air!
Their target was Tsushima Island, where Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, and the others were waiting for these vengeful spirits.
"They're here!"
These ordinary spirits, unlike Kayako, are not immune to mental energy scanning. From Zero Point and Chu Xuan's perspective, they can clearly see clumps of strange-looking things rushing toward the shore.
Without hesitation, Lingdian stomped his feet on the ground and shot hundreds of meters into the air before crashing down and creating a large crater.
With a few leaps, he traversed several kilometers and landed at the spot where vengeful spirits came ashore.
There were originally quite a few humans on this island, but they were all killed by Wang Lu long ago. The vengeful spirits at sea saw Chu Xuan and his two companions.
"Ha! Ah!"
Dozens of vengeful spirits roared as they rushed toward midnight.
crackling and popping~~
As the three-foot-high wall of energy unfolded, all the vengeful spirits that rushed towards it were burned away by the scorching true energy and reduced to nothingness.
The crisis has temporarily passed.
But the real challenge has only just begun.
The number of people fleeing across the sea grew from a few dozen ships at the beginning to several thousand. The vast majority of them came from Fukuoka in the south.
From Zhan Lan's mental perspective, the human-like specks of light quickly disappeared, replaced by the appearance of spirits...
In just a few tens of minutes, thousands of ships were completely destroyed.
However, this was actually a good thing for the Central Continent team. Because the vengeful spirits killed so quickly, the fleeing army didn't have time to sail far away and was wiped out as soon as they got close to the coast.
Having witnessed all of this, Zhan Lan seemed to hear the cries and resentments of countless living beings.
Her body was ice-cold, and her consciousness sank into a hell formed by endless resentment. It was as if countless arms were pulling her will tightly, preventing her from escaping from the resentment.

With the mental chains broken, Chu Xuan immediately noticed Zhan Lan's abnormality.
She was deathly pale, drenched in sweat, and stood frozen in place, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Chu Xuan frowned, took out a talisman, and stuck it on Zhan Lan's body.
The talisman immediately began to burn!
In the darkness, Zhan Lan's consciousness, held back by countless hands, suddenly saw a flash of light.
She struggled desperately, as if grasping at a straw.
"Let me go!"
But the more she struggled, the tighter the grip on her hand became! Her consciousness began to blur, and she succumbed…
Just then, Wang Lu, who had descended from the sky, landed with a thud beside Chu Xuan. He glanced at the ailing Zhan Lan and asked, "What happened?"
Chu Xuan shook his head: "I don't know."
Wang Lu's telekinetic hand swept over every part of Zhan Lan's body, but found nothing.
"I wasn't possessed by a ghost, so what happened?"
He then used his super vision on Zhan Lan, but apart from seeing her explicit side, he didn't see anything unusual.
"Zhan Lan?" Wang Lu tried calling out.
As Zhan Lan's consciousness sank, she heard this shout in her hazy state, and her body trembled.
Wang Lu raised an eyebrow; this symptom seemed familiar.
When Zheng Zha was besieged by the ghosts, he suffered from the same problem, his consciousness sank, and he became a vegetable.
But Zheng Zha was unlocking three locks, while you, Zhan Lan, haven't unlocked a single one. What are you doing here?
