Yue Ming Residential Quarter, Yangzhou City.
Inside the gravity chamber, Luo Feng opened his eyes, quickly stood up as the chamber automatically opened.
“Xu Xin, Xu Xin!”
Luo Feng rushed downstairs rapidly.
In the living room, Xu Xin was watching a TV drama. Seeing Luo Feng coming down, she immediately stood up and asked, “Luo Feng, what’s going on?”
“No time to explain. Come with me now. I need to bring my parents and younger brother back immediately,” Luo Feng was deeply concerned about his parents being outside. “I’ll tell you on the way.”
“Oh, okay.”
Xu Xin could sense something extremely serious had occurred.
…
Boarding a King-level intelligent fighter jet, they quickly took off from Yangzhou City.
“Hey, Mom, where are you? The Northeast Base? Good, stay put at your current location. I’m coming to get you. Don’t ask questions now, I’ll explain later,” Luo Feng hung up and dialed his younger brother’s number. “Hey, Luo Hua, where are you? Oh, you’re still in Yangzhou? Go home immediately! Yes, right away!”
After making these two calls, Luo Feng finally exhaled in slight relief.
“Something happened, didn’t it?” Xu Xin finally dared to ask.
“A catastrophe.”
“This is a catastrophe for humanity on Earth,” Luo Feng said gravely, causing Xu Xin’s expression to change instantly. “Among the sea monsters, a ‘Devouring Beast’ has appeared. Even I, Hong, and Thunder God couldn’t defeat it. Even the highest frequency laser cannon couldn’t leave a mark on a single scale of its armor! The United States has already lost several war bases, with hundreds of thousands of casualties… and the numbers are rapidly increasing!”
Xu Xin was stunned, “Hundreds of thousands? So many?”
“So many?” Luo Feng shook his head. “If this continues, the base cities in South America, North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe will all be destroyed. The death toll will be counted in hundreds of millions. Without war bases, once the base cities are destroyed… humans will be like lambs to the slaughter.”
“This catastrophe might even be worse than the Great Nirvana period,” Luo Feng continued.
Xu Xin finally felt panic rising.
The Great Nirvana period? The worst disaster humanity had ever faced. Though Luo Feng and Xu Xin’s generation hadn’t experienced it themselves, they often heard stories from their parents. From their parents’ descriptions, the Great Nirvana period was a nightmare—a collective nightmare for humanity!
…
They picked up Luo Feng’s parents from the Northeast Base, who were filled with confusion.
On the way back, Luo Feng asked Xu Xin to accompany his parents while he looked down at his communication watch and ordered, “No.1, connect to my communication watch and activate the virtual display screen.”
Beep!
A display screen appeared in front of Luo Feng, showing a classified document titled ‘Ancient Civilization Ruins’.
“Ruins No.1 is located in the deep sea near the Bermuda Triangle in the North Atlantic. It is a silver-white pyramid standing 1200 meters tall. This 1200-meter silver pyramid is extremely dangerous. Any material or expert who crosses the threshold will be instantly destroyed. To this day, no further detailed information has been obtained about Ruins No.1.”
“Ruins No.2 is located underground on Wrangel Island, previously part of the Soviet Union. It is the shattered remains of a spaceship.”
“Ruins No.3…”
…
“Ruins No.31 is located deep in the Shennongjia area of the former Hubei Province in China. The ruins themselves form a massive spherical structure, over 800 meters in diameter. The surface of the sphere has many small pits and emits large amounts of toxic gas that can penetrate the skin and enter the body. No one has survived entering Ruins No.31. Along with Ruins No.1 and No.12, it is one of the three most dangerous ruins, where any entrant is certain to die.”
From start to finish, Luo Feng carefully considered each ancient civilization ruin.
Some ruins were terrifying, like ‘Ruins No.31’; some were merely wreckage, like ‘Ruins No.2’; and some were peculiar, like ‘Ruins No.9’.
“Barbara,” Luo Feng mentally connected.
“You’ve seen it too. What do you think? Which one should I go into?” Luo Feng asked inwardly.
“Except for the three most dangerous ruins, all other ruins have already been thoroughly searched by various countries. Going there would be useless,” Barbara replied. “Among these three most dangerous ruins, Ruins No.1 and No.31 are true death traps. Even a Cosmic-level expert would perish there! You should head to Ruins No.12.”
“Even a Cosmic-level expert would die there?” Luo Feng was shocked.
“Yes. You can come back when you’re strong enough in the future. Your target should be Ancient Civilization Ruins No.12,” Barbara explained. “With your current strength, Ruins No.12 might be a bit dangerous, but if you’re careful, it should be manageable.”
“In times like this,” Luo Feng’s gaze sharpened like a blade, “no matter how dangerous, I must go!”
Inside the intelligent space on his wrist,
Barbara rubbed her little face. Though she didn’t entirely approve of Luo Feng’s reckless behavior, she was pleased with her master’s disciple for having such firm resolve: “My master once said that whether it’s a villain, a good person, or a strange being, a true expert must have a determined heart.”
…
Luo Feng clearly understood his current mindset. In fact, when he first heard the news in the virtual space meeting hall, he was initially very shocked and panicked, but soon calmed down.
After his conversation with General Li Dawei of the Southeast Military Region…
Luo Feng had solidified his conviction—that when he dies and closes his eyes, he doesn’t want to regret not having tried hard enough in his past.
No regrets!
“If I don’t fight now and just watch my fellow countrymen die and my nation perish, leaving only my family alive on Earth, will I regret it in the future?” Luo Feng asked himself. The answer was undoubtedly—yes, he would deeply regret it!
So…
Now is the time to strive! To fight!
Even if it means burning every last drop of my blood, as long as I succeed, I believe I will die with a smile on my face! Ever since I chose the path of a warrior, Luo Feng has never feared death. He only hopes to die meaningfully! Worthily!
…
It was night, and in the Yue Ming Residential Quarter, many villas still had lights on.
The intelligent fighter jet landed on the lawn, and Luo Feng, Xu Xin, and Luo Hongguo’s couple disembarked.
“Hey.”
Luo Feng picked up his phone.
“It’s me, Jia Yi,” a slightly anxious voice came through. “Luo Feng, something big has happened.”
“What more big things could there be?” Luo Feng was somewhat shocked.
The catastrophe had already arrived; what more could happen?
“Luo Feng, earlier in the meeting hall, the world leaders discovered via satellite. After the ‘Devouring Beast’ destroyed all the war bases in North America, it quickly flew to Europe and began wreaking havoc on some of Europe’s key war bases. It will soon target our Asian war bases!”
“Without war bases to block the sea monsters, countless sea monsters will surge inland! Probably within one or two days, large-scale wars will erupt between the monsters and the base cities!”
Jia Yi’s words instantly turned Luo Feng’s face pale.
“Y-You mean…” Luo Feng’s eyes turned red.
“The Devouring Beast, moving at speeds exceeding ten kilometers per second, can destroy all of Earth’s war bases in just half a day! Then, countless sea monsters from the oceans will rapidly move inland along the rivers! In actual combat… even if humanity struggles, half the human population will perish within three days! And within seven days, all base cities will be destroyed.”
Luo Feng swallowed hard.
My God!
“I thought we still had a month,” Luo Feng shook his head in disbelief.
On the road of the residential quarter, Luo Hongguo’s couple and Xu Xin were shocked by Luo Feng’s expression… Since Luo Feng’s status had risen, he rarely looked so flustered.
“Yes, I thought there was still time, but…” Jia Yi’s voice was low and filled with sorrow.
“Why? Why is this happening!” Luo Feng’s heart was in turmoil.
The time was too short!
Originally, if the Devouring Beast had taken its time, destroying a few war bases each day, humanity would still have had plenty of time. But now, the Devouring Beast was preparing to destroy all of humanity’s war bases on Earth within half a day, allowing countless sea monsters to attack humanity!
So ruthless!
Thinking about it, Luo Feng could understand—if he were the Devouring Beast, he would probably also choose to eliminate the enemies in one go first, so he could then comfortably devour metal.
“Luo Feng, the Devouring Beast will destroy the war bases and the laser cannons. The Devouring Beast is very clever, it’s highly intelligent. It clearly understands that laser cannons pose a threat to King-level monsters, so it easily emits golden beams to destroy rows of laser cannons,” Jia Yi explained. “But it’s too lazy to chase down the human armies. Instead, it’s the sea King-level monsters that are hunting the human armies.”
“If pursued by a King-level monster, even an army of tens of thousands would be almost entirely wiped out.”
“Killing a King-level monster could save hundreds of thousands of lives, or even more,” Jia Yi continued. “But ordinary council members don’t have the confidence to kill a King-level monster.”
“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded.
He needed to go to a ruin as soon as possible, then return quickly…
Then he would leave the task of assembling weapons to Barbara!
As for himself…
It was time for a bloodbath!
“King-level monsters? You want to slaughter humanity? Then I’ll slaughter you!” Luo Feng’s gaze turned icy cold, colder than ever before. In this moment, Luo Feng was indeed on the verge of going berserk.
Anxious, furious!
He had been pushed to the edge of a cliff, with nowhere left to retreat!
“Luo Feng, because of the Devouring Beast’s rampage, the hydrogen bomb attack plan will be executed tonight,” Jia Yi said. “If we can kill the Devouring Beast, we still have hope. Now the Devouring Beast is in Europe. Judging by its direction, it will soon enter Soviet territory… Then the hydrogen bomb attack will be carried out within Soviet territory.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
Before the Great Nirvana period, the Soviet Union was the largest country on Earth in terms of area. In the age of base cities, discussing territorial size was meaningless. Humans could only live within base cities.
But the Soviet Union had a relatively small population.
All the base cities were built on the European plate of the original territory, so… there were unpopulated areas spanning millions of square kilometers! Perfect for carrying out super high-yield hydrogen bomb attacks!
…
“Tonight, then?” Luo Feng silently prayed in his heart.
