One second, two seconds, three seconds... The wound didn't heal like other damaged areas. Sun Hang turned the dagger that was plunged into his body, and in an instant, the cut on the belly of the Buddha statue expanded significantly.

"Eh hey?" Sun Hang displayed a mischievous grin and walked up to the Buddha statue, "I'm not dodging anymore. Hit me, come on, hit me here, hit me to death."

The Buddha statue's body sank, and it suddenly swung a massive and forceful punch forward. The airflow generated by the punch howled with a shrill and short sound, as Sun Hang's head was about to be blown apart by the punch— at the last moment, the giant fist halted just half an inch from Sun Hang's forehead.

"Scared now?" Sun Hang said, then suddenly thrust his head forward, directly headbutting the fist suspended in mid-air!

"Boom!!"

The head of the Buddha statue shattered on impact.

...

Meanwhile, outside.

The giant corpse ghost was almost entirely encased in nearly black ice, and then, a Dragon Breath Bomb descended from the sky, smashing the ice block and the giant corpse ghost into smithereens— and that wasn't all. Amidst the sky full of flames and ice dust, a figure in armor charged into the center of the explosion with a flame-wrapped Wolf-tooth Spear. Upon touching the flames on the Wolf-tooth Spear, the ice dust immediately triggered secondary explosions, and even the last bit of residue was completely vaporized by the high temperature.

"Phew... Finally got rid of that big guy." Ye Jiu planted the Wolf-tooth Spear in the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The area is cleared, how are things looking elsewhere?" Wang Xiyi, after releasing her beast form, landed on the ground, "What about Sun Hang, any news from him?"

"Sun Hang... has also lost contact." Yang Qi hesitated for a moment and said.

"What?!" Ye Jiu was taken aback, "Even him too..."

"It's just a communication disruption, which is quite normal." Ye Xuan interjected, "The communication interference intensity around Dragon Rock Fortress has increased another level, and five minutes ago, we lost over two hundred drones that were too close to Dragon Rock Fortress, including those responsible for relaying communication signals."

"Did the drones monitoring the battlefield track his movements?" Wang Xiyi asked.

"He never came out after entering the main hall of Longyan Temple." Ye Xuan said, "Instead of worrying about his current predicament, I think what we should be more concerned about is the B plan that the command center just proposed."

"B plan? What is that?" Ye Jiu asked immediately.

"Based on the current number and intensity of anomalies, it's hard to guarantee we can guide Dragon Rock Fortress to the designated location." Ye Xuan explained, "Therefore, the command center decided to set a temporary target point on the guide path and accelerate the evacuation of Tianfu City's citizens... If the battle goes poorly, they will conduct a nuclear strike on Dragon Rock Fortress at the temporary target point."

"Where is the temporary target point located?" Ye Jiu asked.

"Thirty-seven kilometers northwest of Tianfu City, in the river valley area." Ye Xuan answered.

"So close?! Are they planning to abandon Tianfu City?" Ye Jiu was astonished.

"This is a worst-case scenario plan, the temporary target point can be moved further out as long as Garuda and the Hunter's escort team can hold out a little longer." Ye Xuan explained, "Additionally, Tianfu City will open all underground shelters to accommodate the citizens, minimizing losses as much as possible."

"It won't be minimized by much..." Yang Lian's voice was somber, "According to the latest estimates from experts, if the nuclear strike is conducted in the river valley area, the building destruction rate in Tianfu City will be over 68%, and the casualty rate..."

Yang Lian didn't continue, clearly indicating it was a number not to be optimistic about.

"But we have no other choice." Ye Xuan said, "It's better than having Dragon Rock Fortress turn back and crash into Tianfu City!"

"How much time is left until B plan is executed?" Ye Jiu suddenly asked.

"The missiles equipped with nuclear warheads are all ready, the earliest strike on Dragon Rock Fortress will be in seventeen minutes, at the latest... it depends on how the battle is going on Garuda's side." Ye Xuan said.

"Never mind that, if they really use nuclear bombs on Dragon Rock Fortress, Sun Hang will be doomed... Seventeen minutes, do you think he can leave Dragon Rock Fortress in seventeen minutes?" Ye Jiu said.

"If we could contact him, he should have time to evacuate." Ye Xuan said, "However, the command center is short on manpower and can't send anyone else to Dragon Rock Fortress to take the risk."

"Let me go." Wang Xiyi said, "I can break through the airborne anomalies on my own, they don't need to dispatch planes to pick me up."

"That airspace is very dangerous, are you sure?" Ye Xuan asked her, "Due to communication interference, the friend-or-foe identification on the battlefield with the wristband is almost ineffective, and besides facing overwhelming anomalies, there is dense friendly fire... The situation over Dragon Rock Fortress has completely changed from five minutes ago, getting through is very, very difficult."

"I'll try." Wang Xiyi said, her dragon wings unfolded again, "Send me the positioning and route of Dragon Rock Fortress."

"I'll go with you." Yang Qi suddenly stated.

"You stay in a safe place, don't make trouble." Wang Xiyi mercilessly rejected Yang Qi's request, "It's hard enough for me to break through on my own, if I take you with me, we'll both die halfway."

"Then... take this with you." Yang Qi said.

"What is it?" Wang Xiyi's voice sounded both in her headset and not far away — Yang Qi had just raised her head when Wang Xiyi was already at the helicopter's door, a pair of dragon wings with a metallic luster flapping behind her.

"This." Yang Qi took out a portable safe and then pulled a needle from her bag. After pricking her finger and dripping her blood on the safe's combination lock, she subsequently underwent iris and voiceprint verification, only then did the lid of the safe slowly open a crack.

Chilled white mist immediately poured out from the crack.

"Blood, iris, voiceprint... triple authentication?" Wang Xiyi's expression instantly grew serious, "What's inside this thing?"

Yang Qi lifted the lid of the safe and carefully extracted an alloy-made small test tube, handing it to Wang Xiyi.

Through the observation window on the side of the test tube, one could see that it contained a viscous liquid, the consistency of egg whites, with a faint gray mist-like substance flowing within.

"A precious sample collected from the Taotie incident site, a serum carrying the Taotie Meme." Yang Qi said, "Injecting it into Sun Hang can greatly enhance his abilities, but..."

"But it could also easily make him completely lose his sanity." Wang Xiyi continued her statement, "This thing, has it been approved by the old man?"

Yang Qi nodded, "Before the operation began, the teacher had already authorized me to use it."
