Chapter 442 Xing Hezi

"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!'

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.
