442 Xing Hezi (2/2)
In reality, even before this exchange, Fang Yuan had already planned for the return of 'Professor Fang'.
In the White Jade Capital, although Fang Yuan had learned the essence of arrays from the Jade Palace Faction, most of the arrays would require the efforts of many people and resources so as to be cast across the entire Chinese Country.
If he wanted to try out the 6 and 9 arrays of Sage Changli, he would have to spread the extent of the array to cover an entire world.
Therefore, it was still rather advantageous to make use of the influence of the country to carry on with his preparations.
...
Huiming City.
This was a big city of Chinese Country. Since ten years ago when Fang Yuan had proposed the theory of the four occurrences, the entire manufacturing industry of the country started to accelerate and professionals started to chart out the way ahead to be prepared for the future. The arrival of such a doomsday had led to certain changes in the industry.
The roads were widened and buildings were expanded in size. Many huge warehouses were built in locations that were geographically easy to defend and hard to invade. Furthermore, defences were being upgraded and essentially, the entire city had undergone a transformation, becoming a huge Doomsday Base.
On the arrival of the third occurrence, Chinese Country had increased the number of soldiers in this city and they had successfully defended a few waves of attacks from wild beasts. From then on, the city had the mission to start accepting refugees from other cities and villages.
If one were to observe from the sky, one would realise that Huiming City resembled a big black hole, constantly taking in refugees and vehicles in all directions.
”There are wild flying beasts ahead, they are the mutated species of eagles!”
In the row of vehicles from Banyan Tree City, a horn started to blast. ”Ready all defences, be alert against ambushes!”
In an instant, machine guns started to point towards the sky ahead. The survivors in the area, be in soldiers or civilians, had already trained themselves to be able to hide without a noise within the bunkers. All of them held on to their firearms tightly.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
After 10 minutes, a flock of black flying beasts flew across the sky, covering the ground.
They had already detected the group of vehicles ahead. However, they quickly left and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was unknown if they had left because of fear or the fact that they had sighted another target.
”They've finally left... let's move on!”
Zhao Daniu wiped the sweat from his forehead and commanded the vehicles.
”Looking at the direction in which they are flying towards, it seems that they have just escaped Huiming City...”
Ye Yingzi started to guess. ”Furthermore, I have observed that some of them among the flock were injured. They must have lost their previous fight in the city and were therefore fearful of attacking large groups of humans.”
”This seems to be the case!”
Fang Yuan altered his looks to his original look as he gazed towards the leaving flock of birds. His expression started to change.
From the mutated huge eagles, he did not detect wounds from bullets or cannons. Instead, he had detected traces of spiritual force.
”This feeling... could it be the power of the arena?”
In a single thought, his expression changed once more. ”The spiritual energy is getting more and more concentrated. Are more and more beings gaining the power of the arena?”
This was not possible.
According to his predictions, the only possibility was that an old powerful being had just awakened.
How difficult would it be to breakthrough from the 3rd Tier to the 4th Tier? Lorita would be a prime example to illustrate the difficulty in doing so.
Fang Yuan guessed that if both society leaders of the Black Man Society and the White Pigeon Society were still alive, they would probably have a chance of achieving a breakthrough.
”Professor!”
Ye Yingzi placed her phone down. ”We have established communications with Huiming City. They will send their people out to receive us!”
If they were normal refugees, it would already be lucky if the city would accept them.
However, this was a group of important people from Banyan Tree City. Coupled with the fact that Fang Yuan, who was such an important person, they had to give them special treatment.
”Is that so? I'm looking forward to it!”
Fang Yuan rubbed his ears.
After restoring his original looks, Lorita and Angel were stunned beyond words.
The most depressed would be Xi Menjian. He would surely give him a good scolding over the phone and capture him before transporting him back to the laboratory and keeping him there for life - if only he was just a mere Professor Fang Yuan.
However, his identity as the God of Thunder and the world's number one mutant was enough to strike fear in anybody.
”They're here!”
From the horizon, the silhouette of a city appeared and refugees and vehicles were flooding into the city. Fang Yuan gazed towards Huiming City.
From there, a silhouette of a human flew from the sky and after a chirp, it flew straight towards them.
”Who is Brother Fang Yuan?”
As the silhouette arrived above the vehicles, Fang Yuan could roughly make out an old Taoist holding a whisk. This Taoist seemed like a revered Taoist. ”I am Taoist Xing Hezi!”
”I see, it's Brother Xing Hezi!”
Fang Yuan flew up as well and glanced down at the group of people observing them before smiling. ”Let's look for a private place to talk, shall we?”
”That's great!”
This 4th Tier cultivator was obviously waiting for Fang Yuan in the city. As soon as he heard Fang Yuan's request, he immediately agreed to it.
