A series of deafening Artillery roars echoed through Trebot Town. Each explosion was accompanied by a violent shockwave, kicking up clouds of rubble and smoke.

Gu Su precisely controlled the Artillery, blasting apart the twisting, warping, and ever-widening streets until they were nothing but rubble and ruined walls.

The tall buildings that the abominations had used as strongholds were now riddled with massive craters. Amidst the swirling smoke, severed limbs of the creatures and architectural fragments were strewn everywhere. For a time, the Undead Team had the battlefield firmly under control.

Just as Gu Su was focused on suppressing the town’s mutating buildings, Alice, who was on watch, keenly sensed something wrong. Her expression instantly turned grave.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she immediately reported to Gu Su through the Communication Puppet, her tone urgent. "My lord, look over at the wall.

Something’s wrong."

As soon as the Communication Puppet’s voice faded, Gu Su immediately turned his head, his gaze falling upon the wooden wall he had initially smashed through with the Graveyard Demon.

One look was all it took for his expression to darken.

The wall, which the Graveyard Demon had smashed to pieces, was somehow reassembling itself. The bizarre scene far exceeded the capabilities of any ordinary abomination.

What was even more shocking was the extremely strange method of its reconstruction. It wasn’t simply piecing the wooden planks back into a complete wall. Instead, the scattered planks were automatically gathering and assembling themselves into cold, grim crosses.

Then, these crosses drew close and fused, gradually forming the rough shape of the wall. The entire process, sinister and strange, seemed guided by an invisible force.

With every cross that formed, Gu Su could clearly feel a thick, heavy resentment clinging to it.

That resentment was bone-chilling, a mixture of endless wails and unwillingness that spread through the air, sending a shiver down the spine.

He was instantly on alert. ’I can’t just keep letting the Artillery bombard the town’s buildings. I have to stop that wall from regenerating first.’

Jin Chang and Xi Yue had already entrusted him with the task of destroying the wall and securing their retreat path.

If this breached wall were to fully repair itself, not only would the Undead Team’s retreat be cut off, but Jin Chang and the others dealing with the boss inside the town would be trapped in a hopeless situation, deprived of all external support.

Moreover, Trebot Town had already played its trump card; no one knew what other bizarre transformations it would undergo next.

If they were completely trapped inside the town, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Su no longer hesitated. He immediately issued a command through the Communication Puppet, his tone firm and urgent.

"Graveyard Demon, turn around! Ram that regenerating wall with full force.

All Oil Sprayers open fire! Keep a constant stream of flame on it. We must stop this damned wall from piecing itself back together. Don’t let it seal up completely!"

The moment the command was given, the colossal Graveyard Demon let out a dull engine roar. Its massive body nimbly turned and charged toward the gradually regenerating wall.

The three Giant-headed City-Breaking Awls on its front activated simultaneously, glinting with a cold light as they viciously rammed into the crosses that had not yet fully fused.

With a sharp CRACK, some of the newly formed crosses were instantly shattered. Wooden splinters flew everywhere, and the wall’s regeneration was forcefully halted.

Immediately after, the Oil Sprayers on the Graveyard Demon’s flanks spewed tongues of scorching fire. Roaring flames, carrying waves of searing heat, swept directly over the scattered planks, completely engulfing them.

The fire burned wildly with a searing CRACKLE. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky. Under the inferno’s heat, the planks that were still slowly gathering began to char and curl, seemingly losing their ability to regenerate.

But even so, the strange wall still hadn’t given up on repairing itself.

Even though the planks were shattered and burned, the remaining fragments, guided by that invisible force, struggled to gather and piece themselves together.

Its stubborn momentum seemed a vow to trap Gu Su and his people in Trebot Town completely, leaving them no chance to break out.

Gu Su watched this scene, his brow furrowed tightly, a sense of helplessness rising within him.

No matter how many times he ordered it to be rammed or burned, the wall’s regeneration never completely stopped.

Just as they reached this stalemate, an unexpected sight suddenly appeared, breaking the deadlock.

The Corpse Rat Swarm, originally ordered to charge into the town to harass and gnaw on the abominations, had run back out at some point.

Ignoring the blazing fire next to the wall and their own safety, they swarmed like a tide onto the unburned planks and began to gnaw at them frantically.

Shockingly, the planks that seemed so tough and could regenerate under an invisible force were utterly defenseless against the chewing of the Corpse Rat Swarm.

Each Corpse Rat bared its sharp fangs, madly Tearing and gnawing. With just two or three bites, a thick plank would be snapped in two, reduced to tiny wood chips, completely losing its ability to regenerate.

This scene took Gu Su by complete surprise. He had never imagined that the Corpse Rats, which usually only served as a harassment force, could be so useful, unintentionally becoming the key to stopping the wall’s regeneration.

His tense expression relaxed slightly. He immediately adjusted his orders, having the Corpse Rat Swarm focus on chewing the planks, coordinating with the Graveyard Demon to halt the wall’s regeneration.

At the same time, Gu Su ordered the Graveyard Demon to wedge itself directly into the breach in the damaged wall.

Its massive body firmly blocked the gap like a giant shield, completely obstructing the planks from gathering and joining, giving the wall no chance to seal the opening.

This single move happened to counter Trebot Town’s deadliest gambit, instantly reversing the once-perilous situation.

What Gu Su didn’t know was that the true fatal threat of Trebot Town had never been the abominable bosses living in its various buildings, but the town itself.

Normally, it appeared to be just an ordinary abandoned town, no different from any other den of abominations.

But as soon as an enemy set foot inside, it would fully awaken, transforming into a bizarre domain of anomalous power.

Once this domain fully activated, the walls would seal completely and all exits would be blocked. Anyone inside would be like a grain of sand trapped within a clam’s shell, firmly imprisoned with no chance of escape.

Even more terrifying, under the influence of this domain, the battlefield would grow stranger and stranger. Soldiers might inexplicably vanish in the middle of a fight, completely devoured by the domain.

And now, by having the Graveyard Demon wedge itself in the wall’s breach, Gu Su had effectively jammed a hard toothpick in the clam’s shell.

Although this small obstruction seemed insignificant, it had struck Trebot Town right at its vital point.

It successfully prevented the wall from sealing completely, curbed the town from unleashing its final anomalous effect, and laid the foundation for the battle to come.
