Chapter 1089: Chapter 740: Natural Disaster

Meanwhile, the eastern part of Canghai City was bathed in silence.

Due to the uncertainty of the exact location where the catastrophe would strike, the authorities set about evacuating the entire eastern city as soon as the Catastrophe Warning appeared.

Although it was a challenging task time-wise, with the substantial aid of the officials, the evacuation was successful. A large number of residents from the east were relocated to the safe area.

Shortly after, that towering Black Great Wall rose from the ground, stretching for miles, enveloping the entirety of the eastern city within.

Tens of high-level players supported the Black Great Wall, while even more combat power stood ready atop the wall, prepared to confront the impending catastrophe.

When Xiao Nan, carrying Chen Yu, arrived at the Black Great Wall with a large group of players, most of the division leaders and elite players from the Yanyun and Yu Zhou branches had already assembled.

One of the team captains from Yu Zhou was casually chatting with the members from Yanyun.

"What’s with your teammates’ faces? Why not get them treated?" The Yu Zhou captain couldn’t help but wonder upon seeing many members with bruised faces.

"Of course, it’s... enduring hardships to avenge humiliations!" A member from Yanyun glanced at the newly-arrived Xiao Nan, emphasizing heavily, clearly full of resentment.

These teammates were the very colleagues defeated by General Li Ba’s yesterday afternoon, and they were not ready to accept defeat just yet.

In this period, they hadn’t treated their external injuries but were actively discussing and attempting to crack General Li Ba’s tactics—from equipment to various consumables, to aerial fire support, everything was under active discussion.

They aimed to gain a further advantage in the next group brawl.

In the end, even Yang Dong joined in the discussion of the ’anti-General Li Ba tactics.’

He even went so far as to say, "Our division has suffered under Li Ba for a long time."

To the uninformed, it would appear that this bunch was planning to take on some extremely troublesome Class A abnormality.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nan and Chen Yu, who had just rushed over, acted as if they hadn’t heard anything, continuing to coordinate tasks with their colleagues.

The Yu Zhou team captain asked again, "Did you guys really tackle a world boss and get defeated? But why didn’t I receive any notification?"

"Wait until we take him down, then we’ll notify you!" a Yanyun member responded.

On the other side, Xiao Nan also got up to speed with the status of the task at hand.

The residents of the area had been moved out completely, and some were housed in various shelters, guarded by official players.

Meanwhile, on the Great Wall defense line, hundreds of players had assembled. There was also a large number of the Great Wall Special Forces soldiers guarding the defense line and the buffer zone beyond it.

The Catastrophe Warning gave the officials some time to prepare, and a vast array of combat power had converged here.

There were three Holders, most of the division captains had arrived, and the Dream Cruise was ready to provide support at any moment.

In theory, even if the Chaos Legion opened a Teleportation Gate here, they would be pushed back.

Of course, it wouldn’t be that simple. This catastrophe goes by the name Apocalypse Song, which already sounds difficult to deal with and may possess some extremely terrifying abilities.

All that can be done now is to minimize the damage to the real world and the public when the catastrophe appears.

As the time approached the warning, the official players stood guard, ready for action.

"Countdown begins! 10, 9..." an official player reminded their colleagues as everyone prepared for battle.

"3, 2, 1!"

However, as the designated time arrived, the eastern city remained dead silent.

The players frowned, and those with heightened perception spread their senses but still detected no anomalies.

"What’s going on? Did the catastrophe not arrive?"

"Or maybe... it’s well-hidden? Neither our sensory perception nor the drones have picked up any signs of activity."

"We’ve connected to all the surveillance cameras inside the eastern city, and there’s been no sign of anything unusual."

"Guess we’ll have to go survey the area then," a player suggested.

"Then leave it to me," Luo Kai of Yanyun’s third team responded, and immediately a shadow burrowed out from under his feet.

It was his Symbiotic Body, the Spectral Wolf. A mighty wolf king that originally guarded a strange forest in another world, it followed Luo Kai and became his Symbiotic Body after he helped its pack.

During the Sea Clan invasion, Luo Kai used this Symbiotic Body to track the Sea Clan.

Luo Kai could share the vision and hearing of the Spectral Wolf, and with its extremely high stealth, it was the perfect scout.

After he unlocked the Shadow Werewolf sequence, the Spectral Wolf gained further enhancement as well.

Luo Kai stretched out his hand to pat the Spectral Wolf’s head, and with a leap, it jumped down from the Black Great Wall.

The moment it hit the ground, the Spectral Wolf rapidly expanded and split, transforming into a horde of hundreds that spread out and surged into the city.

Meanwhile, other players and helicopters in the air followed the direction of the wolf horde, reconnoitering the eastern part of the city from a distance.

However, a few minutes later, as the wolf horde entered a shopping mall, Luo Kai was taken aback and spoke in a deep voice, "Are you sure you have evacuated all the residents in the eastern part of the city?"

"Yes," a member responded. "For this, we specifically conducted a thorough search with energy perception. There were no oversights. What did you find?"

"A... little girl..." Luo Kai frowned.

Inside a skyscraper in the eastern city, the pack of Spectral Wolves stumbled upon an eerie scene.

A little girl, about ten years old, was in the shopping mall, toying with a toy car.

The little girl, dressed in tattered clothes with dirty bare feet, seemed to be astonished by the toy car, examining it closely while lying on the ground.

The pack of Spectral Wolves did not approach but lurked around, silently monitoring her.

"The surveillance cameras in the mall haven’t captured her."

"Our energy perception hasn’t detected any anomalies either. We can’t find her."

"Is she... the Catastrophe itself? A girl who can’t be detected by instruments or perception?"

"How should we respond?"

The players discussed quickly. It was indeed beyond their expectations. Rash contact might trigger some kind of adverse Effect.

But then, an unexpected change occurred. As the little girl played with the toy car, possibly pressing a button on it, the toy car shot forward with a whoosh, running a long distance across the floor.

The girl’s face displayed a terrified expression, as if she had witnessed something that shattered her understanding.

Covering her ears, she began to cry.

As her heartbreaking sobs echoed, disaster struck as well.

The ground shook violently, and the tall buildings swayed intensely. Huge fissures emerged from beneath the shopping mall, and sudden geological upheavals caused several skyscrapers to collapse.

The sudden catastrophe stunned the players, but it was not over yet. As the crying spread, the ground beneath the Black Great Wall began to sink.

Simultaneously, the Holders were astonished to find that the elements around them were spiraling out of control.

It wasn’t just geological upheaval; the airflow in the sky had also become chaotic, causing the helicopters to lose control one after the other.

A Holder swung his hands horizontally, manipulating a current of air to stabilize the falling helicopters as much as possible. But he found that the airflow overhead seemed to be forming a terrifying tornado!

Meanwhile, Xiao Nan looked toward the distance. She could sense odd fluctuations occurring at the coastline several kilometers away, as the water level began to plummet rapidly.

This was... a precursor to a massive tsunami!

"My God..." Xiao Nan murmured, immediately activating her Demon Armor and flying toward the coast. She had to suppress the alarming tsunami. Otherwise, the fearsome tsunami would sweep across the entire city!

With the crying, a terrible natural disaster descended.

This was... the Apocalypse Song!
