Chapter 223 Arrival of People from Everywhere! 2 (2/2)
Han Xiao had a sense of achievement that felt like people came from everywhere to respond to his summon!
Seems like my image building plan is going very successfully. Han Xiao was satisfied with the players' response, at the same time paying attention to the response on the forums and Dark Net.
Sanctuary Three did not only make an impact within the players—it was also a shocking view in the eyes of the organizations of Planet Aquamarine.
The problem of Inhuman had always been focused highly on. The Six Nations were very confused when they investigated the situation after noticing a large number of Inhuman gathering in the Southern Continent.
Why is Black Phantom so influential among Inhumans? Why can he command the Inhumans? What is the relationship between them?
The organizations raised their alertness, and the danger level of Black Phantom increased another level.
Dark Net was the first to receive this intelligence, and even Bennett was stunned. Thinking back to when Han Xiao said that he wanted to exceed the progress of Sanctuary One in a month, he realized that it was not a joke.
Seeing its current progress speed, that could really be done.
Bennett was not shocked but surprised. As long as a sanctuary could be built successfully, it did not matter which one was first—it would all be a contribution. He only entrusted those who he had trust in, so he did not ask Han Xiao anything about how he got help from the Inhumans.
The directors of Dark Net, on the other hand, felt chills up their spines. Having a colleague like that, they did not know whether it was a fortune or a disaster.
…
The signature building in the west of Sanctuary Three was an enormous clock tower covered in vines, and it had now become a base for the players. Nearby was a large square, a dried river with a broken bridge that separated the East and the South, and a little bit further, an area filled with factory buildings. This area was originally a mix of residential area and factories.
A factory outline had already been built around the clock tower. Inside were large stacks of construction materials and generators. The terrain was unobstructed, which was suitable for a power station that would provide energy for the sanctuary.
There were hundreds of players in this area cleaning the ruins and evicting the beasts.
A team with five players was walking in the drainage pipes of the river. It was pitch black, except for the light of a flashlight.
”It's quite smelly here,” a player said, holding his nose.
”They said the electricity network will be planted here, so they needed people to scout the area to see if there's any danger,” another guy said.
”No wonder no one wants to do this mission. It's too dirty.” This guy seemed like he had mysophobia, so he was walking very carefully.
Even after decades, this drainage pipe was still damp, and the floor was very sticky, almost like rotten mud.
The team of players took a few more steps forward. Suddenly, an inhale that sounded like a violent gust of wind resounded from deep within the dark.
Huuu—
”Something's wrong!”
The players were shocked. Just as they were about to move, they realized that they were unable to, and a notification showed on their interfaces.

”What is this?” The expressions on their faces changed.
Boom!
The ground shook vigorously, and a black shadow that filled the entire tunnel dashed toward them at an extremely high speed.
With a loud bang, the team of players flew away like they had been hit by a train. They crashed against the wall and died instantly. They were not the first batch of players, but they were LV 15, and yet they had died with just one hit, which meant that the damage was at least 200 to 300!
There was more than one shadow. A string of shadows of the same size followed behind, not once pausing, and dashed out of the tunnel straight away. Like furious tanks, they bolted forward and headed toward the most conspicuous building, the clock tower.
The players resting in the clock tower area were met with a sudden situation. They all stood up and tried to stop the shadows, but anyone who did it ended up flying away and dying.
Unstoppable!
A large number of shadows scraped through the players and destroyed the unfinished power generator. It exploded with a loud fulmination, and fire broke out. These shadows did not stop and plunged into the clock tower.
The ground shook!
A large amount of dust burst out of the clock tower. With a loud squeak sounding like the last scream of a dying person who had lost all hopes, it collapsed.
The movements here shocked the entire city!
Loud, fearsome roars also came out of the mouths of these black shadows, quaking the entire sky!
