Dire News

Yangzhou City Mingyue Residential District.

Inside the gravity room, Luo Feng opened his eyes and quickly stood up as the gravity room automatically opened.

"Xu Xin, Xu Xin."

Luo Feng rushed downstairs.

In the living room downstairs, Xu Xin was watching TV. Seeing Luo Feng descend, she immediately stood up and asked, "Luo Feng, what happened?"

"No time to explain. You need to come with me now. I have to pick up my parents and brother immediately." Luo Feng couldn't rest easy with his parents out there. "I'll tell you on the way."

"Oh. Okay."

Xu Xin could tell that something very serious had occurred.

...

Boarding a King-tier intelligent fighter jet, they swiftly took off from Yangzhou City.

"Hello, Mom, where are you? Northeast Base City? Okay, just stay where you are, don't leave. I'm coming to pick you up. Don't ask questions, I'll tell you later." After hanging up, Luo Feng dialed his brother's number. "Hello, Luo Hua, where are you? Oh, still in Yangzhou City? Get home right now! Yes, that's right, immediately!"

Only after making these two calls did Luo Feng slightly relax.

"Luo Feng, what happened?" Xu Xin finally dared to interject.

"A cataclysm."

"This is a cataclysm for humanity on Earth." Luo Feng's voice was low, causing Xu Xin's expression to change instantly.

"Among the sea beasts, a 'Devouring Beast' has appeared. Hong, Lei Shen, and I are no match for it," Luo Feng said grimly. "Even the most powerful laser cannons can't leave a mark on a single one of its scales! America has already lost several war bases, with hundreds of thousands dead or injured... and the numbers are rapidly increasing!"

Xu Xin was somewhat stunned. "Hundreds of thousands? That many?"

"Many?" Luo Feng shook his head. "At this rate, South America, North America, Africa, Asia, and all the countries in Europe, every Base City will be annihilated. The death toll will be in the billions. Without war bases, and once the Base Cities are destroyed... humanity will be lambs to the slaughter."

"This cataclysm might be even more severe than the Great Nirvana period," Luo Feng stated.

Xu Xin finally panicked.

The Great Nirvana period? Humanity's most tragic disaster. Luo Feng and Xu Xin's generation hadn't experienced it, but they often heard about it from their parents. In their parents' descriptions... the Great Nirvana period was a nightmare! A nightmare for all of humanity!

...

From the Northeast Base City, he picked up his parents, who were full of questions.

On the way back, Luo Feng had Xu Xin accompany his parents, while he himself looked down at his communication watch, giving a command: "Number 1, connect to my communication watch, virtual display screen."

*Drip!*

A display screen appeared before Luo Feng's eyes, showing confidential documents—'Ancient Civilization Ruins'.

"Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 1, located deep beneath the sea in the Bermuda area of the North Atlantic, is a silver-white pyramid 1200 meters tall. This 1200-meter-tall silver pyramid is extremely dangerous; any material or expert attempting to cross its entrance will be instantly destroyed. To this day, no more detailed information is available about Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 1."

"Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 2, located underground on the former Wrangel Island in Soviet Russia, is the shattered wreckage of a spaceship."

"Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 3..."

...

"Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 31, located deep within the former Shennongjia in Hubei, Huaxia Nation. The ruin itself is a giant spherical shape, over 800 meters in diameter. The surface of the sphere has many small pits and emits large amounts of poisonous gas. This gas can penetrate the skin and enter the body. To this day, no one has entered Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 31 alive. This, along with No. 1 and No. 12, is listed as one of the three great death zones; all who enter are doomed to die!"

From beginning to end, Luo Feng carefully considered each ancient civilization ruin.

Some ruins were terrifying, like 'Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 31'. Some were merely remnants, like 'Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 2'. Some were peculiar, like 'Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9'.

"Babata." Luo Feng connected mentally.

"You've seen it too, right? Tell me, which one should I enter?" Luo Feng asked in his mind.

"Apart from the three great death zones, the other ruins have mostly been explored by various countries. Going there would be useless," Babata said. "Among these three great death zones, Ruin No. 1 and Ruin No. 31 are true death zones. Even Universe-level experts would surely die there! You should go to Ruin No. 12 among the three great death zones."

"Even Universe-level experts would surely die?" Luo Feng was startled.

"Yes, wait until your strength is sufficient. Your target is Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12," Babata explained. "With your current strength, Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12 might be a bit dangerous, but if you're careful, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"At this moment," Luo Feng's gaze sharpened like a blade, "no matter how dangerous, I must go!"

Inside the intelligent space of his wrist.

Babata rubbed his small face. Although he didn't entirely approve of Luo Feng's foolish behavior, he was very satisfied with the unwavering resolve of his master's disciple. "Master once said that whether good or evil, or even eccentric, true experts all possess an unyielding heart."

...

Luo Feng was very clear about his current thoughts. In fact, in the virtual space conference hall, after learning the news, he was initially shocked and panicked, but he quickly calmed down.

After his conversation with Southeast Military Region Commander Li Dawei back then...

Luo Feng had solidified his conviction—'When I die and close my eyes, I don't want to regret it because of past inaction.'

No regrets!

"If I don't fight now, if I just watch my compatriots die, my nation perish, and the entire Earth be left with only my family. Will I regret it later?" Luo Feng asked himself this question, and the answer was undoubtedly—he would regret it deeply!

So...

Now is the time to strive! To fight!

Even if he burned his last drop of blood, as long as he succeeded, he believed he would close his eyes with a smile. In truth, ever since choosing the path of a warrior, Luo Feng had never feared death; he only wished to die with value! Worth!

...

Night fell, and in the Mingyue Residential District, lights were still on in many villas.

The intelligent fighter jet landed on the lawn, and Luo Feng, Xu Xin, and Luo Hongguo's family stepped out together.

"Hello."

Luo Feng picked up his phone.

"It's me, Jia Yi." A slightly anxious voice sounded. "Luo Feng, something big has happened."

"What else could possibly happen?" Luo Feng was somewhat shocked.

A cataclysm had already arrived; what else could be a big deal?

"Luo Feng, earlier in the conference hall, leaders of various countries discovered via satellite that after the 'Devouring Beast' destroyed all war bases in North America, it swiftly flew to Europe and began to wreak havoc on several important war bases there. We believe it will soon attack our war bases in Asia!"

"Without war bases to block the sea beasts, countless sea beasts will rush inland! I'm afraid it will only take a day or two for large-scale battles to erupt with the Base Cities!"

Jia Yi's words instantly made Luo Feng's face turn pale.

"You, you mean..." Luo Feng's eyes turned red.

"With the Devouring Beast's speed of over ten thousand meters per second, it can destroy all human war bases on Earth in just half a day! At that point, countless sea beasts from the ocean will rapidly follow the rivers and invade the inland! If a real fight breaks out... even if humanity struggles, half of humanity will be wiped out in three days! In seven days, all Base Cities will be destroyed."

Luo Feng swallowed hard.

Oh my god!

"I, I thought we had another month," Luo Feng shook his head in disbelief.

On the residential district road, Luo Hongguo's family and Xu Xin looked at Luo Feng's expression in surprise... Ever since Luo Feng's status had risen, he rarely showed such a panicked expression.

"Yes, I thought we had time too, but..." Jia Yi's voice was low, filled with sorrow and pain.

"Why, why is this happening!" Luo Feng's mind was in chaos.

Time was too short, far too short!

If the Devouring Beast had taken its time, slowly devouring a few war bases each day, humanity would have had more time! But now, the Devouring Beast was apparently planning to destroy all human war bases on Earth within half a day, allowing countless sea beasts to attack humanity!

How vicious!

However, Luo Feng understood it upon reflection. If he were a Devouring Beast, he would probably also eliminate his enemies in one go, then comfortably devour metal later.

"Luo Feng, the Devouring Beast will destroy war bases and laser cannons. The Devouring Beast is too intelligent; it clearly understands that laser cannons pose a threat to King-tier monsters, so it effortlessly unleashes golden rays to obliterate one laser cannon after another," Jia Yi said. "As for chasing human armies, it's too lazy to do that; instead, King-tier sea beasts are pursuing the human armies."

"If a King-tier monster catches up, even tens of thousands of troops will almost certainly be annihilated."

"Killing one King-tier monster means saving hundreds of thousands or even more people," Jia Yi continued. "And ordinary Councilors aren't confident in killing King-tier monsters."

"Understood." Luo Feng nodded.

He had to go to a ruin in the shortest possible time! Then return quickly...

Then, he would leave the weapon assembly to Babata!

And he...

Would go on a killing spree!

"King-tier monsters? You want to slaughter humanity, then I'll slaughter you!" Luo Feng's eyes turned cold, an unprecedented chill. At this moment, Luo Feng was indeed on the verge of going mad.

Anxiety, rage!

He had been pushed to the edge of a cliff, with no retreat!

"Luo Feng, because of the Devouring Beast's madness, the hydrogen bomb attack plan will be executed tonight," Jia Yi said. "If we can kill the Devouring Beast, then we'll have hope. Currently, the Devouring Beast is in Europe, and judging by its direction, it will soon enter Soviet Russia... The hydrogen bomb attack will then be carried out within Soviet Russia."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Before the Great Nirvana period, Soviet Russia was the largest country on Earth by area. In the Base City era, discussing territorial area was meaningless. Humans could only live within Base Cities.

However, Soviet Russia had a relatively small population.

Its Base Cities were all established in the European part of its territory, so... there were tens of millions of square kilometers of uninhabited land! It was perfectly suitable for a super-large yield hydrogen bomb attack!

...

"Tonight?" Luo Feng silently prayed in his heart.
