I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1334

Chapter 1334: Chapter 1336 Out of Control Chapter 1334: Chapter 1336 Out of Control Watching the small island sink beneath the waves, Granite didn't even glance at the Dragon Lizard Beast. He laughed heartily and, waving the Scythe of Death in his hand, he cut through the air with a black blade of light, forcing the two to retreat. Then he turned into a shadow and flew off into the distance.

The destruction of this small island was Granite's goal. In his view, destroying it was more thrilling than killing Bokin.

“Granite!” Bokin roared in anger. The island had consumed nearly all his resources, and even his family had been left exhausted by the depletion. This caused the other members of his family to hold significant grievances against him.

Now that the island was destroyed, the initial investment was washed away, leaving Bokin at a loss for how to face his family's criticism!

“Granite, Granite…” A hint of murderous intent appeared in Bokin's eyes as he gnashed his teeth, muttering Granite's name. After a long while, Bokin seemed to age by ten years, his gaze filled with melancholic resignation. He sighed and said in a low voice to Mike Greer beside him, “Mike, did we do something wrong before?”

“Bokin, what's wrong with you?” Mike Greer's face changed, as he said to Bokin, “Granite's ambition is too great. He is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals. He not only wants to control players on the island in the real world but also in the game. How could this be possible? If we really do it his way, sooner or later we will…”

“…But now… everything is gone, everything has been destroyed!” Bokin looked at the former location of the island, which now was just vast sea, showing a look of utter despair on his face.

“Bokin, the island's destruction does not mean we have failed…” Mike Greer whispered, “Our greatest asset is those players. As long as we persuade them to follow us, we can build another island like this one, or we might not even need to build an island; we could just place them in our family's castle, and they would still serve our purposes!”

Bokin's eyes lit up as he murmured to himself, “That's right, the players are what's important. As long as we have these players with us, wherever we are, that will be Players' Island!”

Most of the players who lived on the island were life-skill practitioners who did not want to be controlled by their governments and lacked the capability to protect themselves. That's why they came to live on this relatively free island. Although limited by materials and various other factors in the real world, these life-skill players couldn't produce items exactly like those in the game. However, they could still find substitutes for many low-level items.

For example, with primary healing potions–even if substitute materials were used and the potions only had eighty percent of the original's effectiveness–it was enough to make the world's top-tier wealthy individuals desperately seek them out.

Just then, a massive cruise ship slowly sailed into view. Bokin had notified the rescue team the moment the Dragon Lizard Beast slammed into the island. Now, from the cruise ship, seven or eight players leapt into the air. Seeing that the island's location had become a vast ocean, these people all wore a look of bewilderment.

“Kado!” Bokin flew over to them.

“Bokin, what… what happened?” Kado asked, pointing at the sea surface, his voice trembling.

“Never mind that now, save people first!” said Bokin.

Because the island was destroyed, many players had fallen into the water. Now was not the time for pleasantries; they needed to be rescued as quickly as possible.

After a flurry of activity, soon all the players, including those who had left aboard submarines, were gathered on the cruise ship. Bokin looked at the players wrapped in blankets, holding cups of hot drinks, and his expression soured.

Over three thousand players had lived and worked on the island, but now, only a few hundred had been rescued. Not even one in ten survived. The scale of the loss pained Bokin.

Taking a deep breath, Bokin put on a smile and started walking toward the group of players.

“Everyone, we have suffered an attack by our enemy. All of your losses will be fully compensated by us, and we will also fulfill some of your reasonable demands. At the same time, we will go to a safer place, where there are professional guards to protect everyone…”

Meng Tiantian peered anxiously through the crowd, hoping to find Song Jian, but after looking at everyone present, she couldn't spot that familiar figure.

“Is he dead?” Meng Tiantian felt a pang of sadness, but thinking of Song Jian's strength, hope still flickered in her heart, “Impossible, he's so powerful, he must be able to escape…”

At this moment, Song Jian had vanished without a trace, and with Meng Tiantian's current abilities, it was probably impossible for her to locate Song Jian.

Right then, Meng Tiantian was really hoping to be able to enter the game right away because only in the game could she contact Song Jian through the address book.

Song Jian was currently practicing the Sword Flight Art over the vast sea. The destruction of the small island had deprived him of a place to alight, but with his current power, he could go anywhere in the vast world he wished.

After flying over the ocean for half a day, Song Jian still hadn't caught sight of any land.

“Strange, I remember coming to the island from this direction before. The ship ride took less than two hours, and my Sword Flight is much faster than the ship, so why haven't I seen land after such a long time?” Song Jian stopped, puzzled.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly noticed a dark shadow streaking across the sky in the distance, leaving a black trail more than ten meters long behind it. From afar, it resembled a black meteor falling from the sky.

Song Jian's heart stirred, and he changed direction, flying towards the shadow. Soon, he saw that the shadow was actually the person who had controlled the Dragon Lizard Beast and destroyed the entire island.

“Gel, Granite, his name is Granite, isn't it?” Song Jian muttered to himself, “He destroys an island and doesn't bother to conceal his tracks; isn't he afraid of being hunted down?”

Getting closer, Song Jian noticed Granite's body contorting as he flew, his expression ferocious, eyes shrouded in crimson light, and no pupils visible. Scales of purple and black were slowly emerging from beneath his skin, which was quivering, and his body was covered in blood.

“Is he… losing control?” Song Jian's brow furrowed as he stopped, no longer approaching Granite.

At this moment, Granite looked exactly like those humans in the game who had been infected by the Abyss, undergoing an irreversible transformation into Abyssal creatures.

But Granite had already transformed into an Abyssal creature, so how could he be infected by the Abyss again?

Roar~
A bestial roar emanated from Granite's mouth; suddenly, five or six dark brown tentacles burst forth. These tentacles were over three meters long and writhed in the air, as if searching for something.

Just then, Granite's entire body became hunched, as he grasped the tentacles tightly, emitting an indistinct roar, “Get out of my body!”

As he spoke, Granite pulled the tentacles outward with all his might. At that moment, a bulge suddenly appeared on the back of his neck, as if something was trying to burrow its way out.
