507 Black Cube (1/2)
While Zhou Wen was grinding the dungeons, something strange happened in Luoyang City.
A crossroad in the city was blocked by a huge black cube. The black cube was about 50 meters long. It did not look like metal, but it did not look like stone or plastic either.
Strangely, no one knew when the black cube appeared. An Sheng, who was in charge of investigating the matter, looked at the nearby surveillance cameras and realized that the black cube had appeared out of thin air. It didn't exist on the video then it appeared in the next second.
Such a strange matter was likely related to dimensional creatures. In order to prevent any accidents, An Sheng mobilized many experts from the Sunset army to research how to take away or destroy the black cube.
However, they tried many methods to no avail. They were unable to move the black cube away, nor were they able to damage it. Even the strongest destructive weapon and Essence Energy Skill that they could muster failed to damage the black cube one bit.
Some people dug up the concrete surface underneath the black cube and used some tools to move it away. However, they soon discovered that the black cube was actually suspended in midair. After the ground was dug open, it did not affect it at all and it still remained in position.
Although the black cube didn't pose any threat, An Sheng still made preparations for the worst. He evacuated the nearby residents and temporarily isolated the area. He sent troops to guard it to prevent any accidents.
In less than two days, An Sheng received plenty of shocking updates. It wasn't just Luoyang; many cities in the Federation's four major districts had similar black cubes.
Now, everyone was studying the black cube. Up to now, no one had been able to determine what it was, nor could anyone destroy or move it.
Many people were worried like An Sheng. The black cube was like a ticking time bomb in the city. Who knew when it would cause a terrifying disaster.
”Strange phenomena are happening rather frequently. It looks like the days ahead will become more and more unpeaceful.” An Sheng sighed.
An Tianzuo was reading the intelligence gathered from all over the world. Even the cities of the six major families had black cubes. Furthermore, the six families were helpless against them.
The six families had sent out Mythical Companion Beasts to destroy or figure out what the black cube was, but the outcome wasn't promising. The strength of Mythical Companion Beasts was still unable to harm the black cubes.
An Tianzuo frowned when he read the intelligence.
Black cubes had appeared all over the world; this was clearly unusual.
”Did you notice that these black cubes only appear in areas where humans gather? There are no black cubes in the wilderness or dimensional zones,” An Tianzuo said.
”Although I don't wish to see such a thing happen, the current phenomena's analysis suggests that the black cubes are targeted at humans,” An Tianzuo said with a heavy expression.
”We shall handle it, come what may. Overseer, when have you ever been afraid of anything?” An Sheng deliberately said in a relaxed tone.
An Tianzuo smiled and stopped talking about the matter. He then asked An Sheng, ”How's the progress at Zhuolu?”
