After attempting to change their path multiple times and still failing to shake it off, Jean simply turned the bike sideways and braked hard, searching for the source of the crisis.
Jean's already keen eyes, enhanced by Synesthesia, went a step further, easily spotting the source of the crisis behind them.
It was a massive metal cylinder in the center of Lungmen, silhouetted by the city lights and the flames of the slums, where energy resembling electric currents was continuously gathering.
Generally speaking, this kind of metal cylinder is called a cannon barrel.
"What the f—" Before Jean could finish the curse, the light in the cannon barrel had already peaked.
"Jean! Run! Don't worry about me!" Frost Star said anxiously.
Jean turned around, patted her head, and said, "Did I not tell you that I would not abandon you?"
Then Jean bit his tongue again, kissed Frost Star's lips, and transferred his blood to her.
At the same time, Jean silently said in his heart: [Sacrificial Domain]
Then, the massive light descended, covering an area of nearly one kilometer with light representing destruction.
Scorching gas spread outward in the form of a shockwave, burning the earth into a molten state.
When the steam finally dissipated, in the center, only Frost Star remained, facing the empty air, tears streaming down her face.
And silver-white wind swirled around her, shimmering.

"Report: Direct hit on target confirmed. Currently confirming results."
In the control room, a soldier reported to Wendy.
"Mm, I understand."
Then another person approached and reported:
"All Infected in the slums have been cleared. No signs of spreading to the city center were found."
Wendy nodded; at least all the sacrifices were not in vain.
Just then, a voice rang out:
"Re—Report! One of the targets is still alive! Confirmed as Reunion Movement cadre Frost Star."
The room erupted in an uproar, and Wendy fell into silence.
"Should we load a second round?"
"No, there is no need. What needed to be done has been completed."
After saying this, Wendy turned and left the control room.

"This is Lungmen's main cannon!" Amiya held the observer screen, watching the explosion in the distance.
The shockwave arrived seconds after the flash of light, leaving the group observing from atop the high building with mouths full of dust.
"Ah, Doctor, when did you take the opportunity to pull up your mask? You didn't even remind me." Amiya complained.
Just then, Blaze suddenly shouted:
"Hey, look! Someone is still alive."
Hearing her words, everyone turned their eyes back to the observer, only to see Frost Star standing there alone, with Jean nowhere to be found.
"Should we go save her? What if Lungmen fires a second shot?"
"No, there will not be a second shot." Kaltsit made her judgment, "The first shot, used for deterrence, is enough. In any case, Lungmen will not expose its firing interval."
Just then, the sound of a communicator interrupted Kaltsit. After glancing at it, she signaled to the group and walked to the corner to answer.
The Doctor added, "It both demonstrates a stance of fighting against the Reunion Movement and reasonably utilizes main combat weaponry to show force. However, Lungmen has likely suffered significant damage from this incident; otherwise, they would not have displayed such firepower."
Just as everyone was expressing their agreement, Kaltsit returned and said to the group, "We have trouble. Chernobog is heading this way."
