Becoming a White-Haired Witch in a World Full of Anomalies

Chapter 115 : Gathering Forces

People were still fighting, completely unaware that Corpse Mountain had begun to multiply. A flesh chunk burrowed into a corpse, and the body kept twitching. After a long while, it split into several flesh chunks. Their reproduction speed grew faster and faster, increasing geometrically.i Company's commander also arrived at the battlefield, piloting a mech embedded with colorful gems and possessing all the gem abilities. In nighttime A City, it sparkled brilliantly like stars.

"Chief, hello!"

"Great, it's the third-generation mech, we're saved!"

Soldiers all cheered: "Mech divine might, indestructible!"

But they hadn't been happy for even two seconds when they noticed something wrong. What was that mass of flesh with eyes on the ground? How was our proud third-generation mech wrapped up in an instant?

The third-generation mech's shield was destroyed in one second?

No, run! The flesh is growing toward us!

The little girl and man in the distance sat on a rooftop watching this scene and sighed: "That saved us trouble, but bigger trouble has come."

"What do we do next?" Everyone gathered to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing them all looking at her, Bai Ling was somewhat confused: "Why are you all looking at me?"

"Great hero, don't you have something to say?" Lin Xinyao teased.

Bai Ling thought for a moment: "Hey, I really do have something to say."

"Outside A City there's a forest called Witch Forest. The anomalies inside invited me to go above the black fog together to solve the black fog problem."

"Mm, solving the black fog is indeed one of our next goals." Lin Xinyao nodded.

"Do you know about the Light Chasers?" Director Heaven's Secret asked.

"What's that?" No one had heard this name before.

Just then, Ye Luo hurriedly raised her hand: "I know!"

"Light Chasers, a civilian organization that appeared when the black fog descended. Their slogan has always been seeking light."

Director Heaven's Secret nodded and added: "Their desire for light was answered. Now the Light Chasers are like mobile light bulbs, their whole bodies radiating light."

"You mean..."

"We can throw them onto the black fog as lighting tools."

"Hah?"

"There's one more thing."

"Maze City can actually directly become a ladder to heaven. I can make Maze City's joint facilities completely exposed to form a mechanical ladder, allowing everyone to reach above the black fog."

"But we still don't know the enemy's combat strength. Just us alone definitely isn't enough."

"So before that, the urgent task is gathering manpower. Whether company people or wild anomalies, we welcome them all to join."

"Good!" The climbing plan officially began.

After leaving Maze City, everyone felt like they'd arrived at the apocalypse. The city was in ruins, filled everywhere with flesh and blood. Buildings were covered with flesh and closed eyes. Sensing the breath of living people, the eyes suddenly opened and looked at everyone - countless blood-red eyes staring fixedly at them.

"Hey? I say, how about we go back?"

"Y-yeah, what is all this?"

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" The flesh masses frantically surged toward everyone. Just as everyone was scared and about to retreat, a light beam shone down from the sky.

Code name: Hanging Gardens, from D Company. A feeling of weightlessness came, and everyone couldn't stand steady, falling to the ground. They found themselves inside the Hanging Gardens, with D Company's expensive transmission device designed by F Company under their feet.

"Everyone, pleased to meet you."

Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong warmly entertained the visitors. The interior space of the Hanging Gardens was very large - several thousand square meters.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Hong? What's the situation in A City now? Those eyes?"

"We're not entirely sure either. According to analysis, it should be an anomaly aggregate called Corpse Mountain that escaped. Originally it was just a small part with slow spread, but after it devoured H Company - Life Meat, its size grew geometrically and became what it is now."

"H Company completely wiped out..." Chi Xiaoyu clenched her fists after hearing this. This was both good and bad news for her.

"The Hanging Gardens won't be affected for at least a hundred years. If you don't want to participate in the fighting, you can stay here." Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong said sincerely.

"No, we won't stand by and watch."

Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong looked at each other and said: "If you need our help, just tell us."

"Could you first take us to Witch Forest?"

"Alright, toward Witch Forest, let's go!" The two girls pressed the Hanging Gardens' button together. The ship suddenly shook, and in just one breath, it disappeared from its location and arrived at Witch Forest.

"Big sister, what are you doing?" Star Witch looked at Twilight Witch in confusion.

"Children shouldn't ask too many questions." Twilight Witch was fiddling with a mark in her hands that was extremely similar to the one on Bai Ling's hand, yet different.

Forest Witch walked over: "Guests are here."

Flame Witch also stood up after hearing this: "Finally here? Let's have a big fight."

Bai Ling suddenly appeared in front of everyone. She was somewhat dizzy - this transmission device was convenient, but she wasn't used to this feeling yet.

"Hi, everyone."

"Why are there so many stars above your heads?" Bai Ling looked at everyone dizzily.

"Pfft, sit down and speak slowly." Twilight Witch couldn't help saying.

Bai Ling shook her head and cleared her throat: "We're gathering forces to prepare to ascend the black fog. You all come too."

The witches looked at each other and said in unison: "Alright."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Bai Ling noticed a familiar figure standing in the distance - it was a goat man.

He slowly walked over and clapped his hands.

"Not bad, not bad. I indeed didn't misjudge you."

"How did you know I had a witch species anomaly core?"

"Take this." The goat man handed Bai Ling a book radiating light. Just a glance was enough to understand its extraordinariness.

"What is this?"

"Book of Prophecy, with one more use left. From a dead god."

After Bai Ling received it, she handed the witch species anomaly core to the goat. During this time, she asked somewhat confused: "How are you here?"

Then she thought of the departed witches and immediately looked at the goat. His pupils showed no emotion, like a cold-blooded killer.

"You wouldn't be thinking that if I hadn't come, you would have killed them, right?"

"How could that be? Why would you think an S-grade like me could beat Anomaly Kings?"

"Anomaly Kings?" So there are Anomaly Kings among the witches. I thought they were all just S-grade. Bai Ling pondered.

"Good luck, Miss Witch." The goat examined that core with satisfaction and left.

Bai Ling remembered the witches' other request - they wanted to obtain the method to advance to Anomaly God. Although Bai Ling already knew the Blood Witch wanted to advance through sacrificing lives, if she told those witches, would they also do the same thing as the Blood Witch?

【It's probably better to keep it from them, right?】
