442 Xing Hezi (1/2)
Chapter
”Tell me... what exactly happened?”
The long row of cars drove steadily on the road. Even though they were military vehicles, there were still soldiers ahead clearing the way for them as they blazed through at breakneck speed.
Fang Yuan laid on the seat and closed his eyes, appearing relaxed.
”Just last night, there was a surge in the number of wild beasts in the entire country... It was as though the many demonic beasts and spiritual beasts had received a mysterious guidance to attack the big cities and villages at the same time... Even though we were prepared, we still suffered many casualties and after an emergency meeting, we have decided on Plan B.”
Ye Yingzi had a serious look on her face with a slight hint of panic and her eyes were teary. ”That is to give up all other cities and villages in the country and transfer the people to the 72 biggest cities so as to minimise any more losses!”
Such a large-scale retreat would result in too many sacrifices and troubles. Furthermore, the stress of overpopulating the existing cities due to the lack of security and resources could cause more problems.
Of course, before all these, the fact that half the population of the country could survive such an attack was already a blessing.
”It's doomsday...”
Fang Yuan opened his eyes and sighed.
”The Banyan Tree City isn't one of the big cities. We are therefore relocating to the nearest big city 279 kilometres from here, Huiming City!”
Zhao Daniu started to speak as well. ”According to the evacuation plan, the priority is given to... the military personnel, researchers, highly-skilled workers, and students. We will leave a platoon of soldiers to form a defence outside the city so as to delay some time for us to evacuate everybody.”
Regardless, the plan would surely not be smooth-sailing and there would surely be problems arising.
Fang Yuan remained silent for a moment before inquiring further. ”How about overseas? Are there any news from overseas?”
Zhao Daniu exchanged glances with Ye Yingzi before answering in unison. ”Yes!”
They opened a safe and adeptly typed in the password. With that, rows of information appeared on the screen:
”The Pacific Fleet of the Golden Eagle Federation was attacked by a sea dragon and were all capsized. The marine beasts had infiltrated the port and caused thousands of deaths...”
”In the Blue Star Alliance, there was a widespread disaster and countless corpses were revive into zombies. These zombies then attacked humans and started to spread a plague! Suspected to be related to the awakening of a fabled being from the Dark Ages.”
”As for other smaller countries, many of them had already lost contact with the international community. Sea lines of communication have been disrupted and even aeroplanes were attacked by flying beasts. Every country is fighting a war of itself... These are the information that we can gather while our communication services are still up.”
Ye Yingzi explained before laying out a few pictures.
”The widespread disaster in Blue Star Alliance?”
Fang Yuan rubbed his chin. ”Farquhar will resolve that. Looking at the Golden Eagle Federation, it seems like they have plagued with troubles... the Sea Dragon King?”
Examining the pictures, Fang Yuan could see a particular sea dragon attacking a port.
Its body was about 100 metres long and its scales shimmered a brilliant blue. The single horn on its head and the sharp talons on its body all struck fear in others.
”According to the report, this sea dragon had displayed abilities to gather power among the marine beasts. It is suspected to have a high IQ and had once controlled a storm, wiping out an armed battalion of soldiers from the federation... According to Professor Fang's grading system, we should classify it as a Calamity Grade mutated beast!”
Ye Yingzi spoke in a strict tone.
”Oh? The Golden Eagle Federation is still surviving and even have the ability to use its nuclear weapons?”
Fang Yuan asked with curiosity.
”It's not that... After unleashing havoc on seven other ports, the sea dragon was being put to a stop by the Mutant Bureau of the federation. They have used this weapon!”
Zhao Daniu took out another photograph.
Although this photograph was blurred, a vague silhouette of an angel with white and black wings could be deciphered as it faced the sea dragon.
”It's her...”
Fang Yuan smiled. ”It seems that as the Golden Eagle Federation was filled with chaos, they have finally discovered a weakness of her. Could they have used the chance to keep her under control?”
If the real Elder Extreme Darkness had returned to the realm, she would be able to wreak havoc with her powers.
However, the Demon Weapon was only a newborn young girl and was still rather immature. Therefore, she could still be dealt with.
However, with the looks of it, the Golden Eagle Federation had barely kept it under control and used it in the final battle against the sea dragon.
It was unknown as to how much the Demon Weapon had grown since the past few years and the third occurrence.
”In conclusion, this is no longer a country's problem, but the doomsday of the world...”
Ye Yingzi concluded with a final sentence. ”The doomsday of humans! We need to stand together to prevent our extinction! At this point, we should put down all our differences and work together. What do you think, Mister Lei?”
Her sharp eyes glared towards Fang Yuan and her intentions were simple.
At this stage, the country was already in dire straits. To have any hope of survival, they would surely be willing to work with a person who had once betrayed his own country. Furthermore, Fang Yuan had only gone missing and could not be considered betraying his country.
She could not make such a decision herself, and not even Xi Menjian could instruct her. This had to be the intention of the higher-ups of the country.
”I am full of admiration for Professor Fang Yuan...”
Fang Yuan smiled. ”I believe that at such a crucial point in time, all humans need to work together to face the disaster! Who knows, Professor Fang Yuan might just appear anytime!”
”That's great!”
Zhao Daniu held Ye Yingzi's hands tightly and brimmed with tears of joy.
”F*ck...'
Witnessing this scene, Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. ”When did the two of them... finally get along with each other? They must be being rewarded for being close to me!'
