Chapter 305: Chapter 305 – Shout
The sudden attack of the mutated creatures disrupted many people’s sleep.
Given the speed that information could be transmitted through the internet, even if one wanted to stop it, it would not be possible.
There were hundreds of millions of people living in the different gathering places, and with so many people discussing, it was impossible to stop the flow of information.
In just a short while, this information spread throughout the entire underground world.
By now, there were not many people who did not know about this.
Standing in front of the massive control desk and listening to the researchers’ reports, the middle-aged man fell silent for a while before taking out a phone, preparing to ask for instructions from the higher-ups.
“I understand,” an aged voice sounded out from the phone in the middle-aged man’s ears.
Elsewhere, in a massive room, an elder slowly put his phone down and looked at the screen in front of him.
There were five or six faces on the screen, and all of them were people holding the greatest authority in the world.
“Everyone has heard about the news,” the elder looked somewhat calm as he said, “The mutated creatures have begun to attack. District 3 has been destroyed, and the remaining Districts might suffer the same fate. Let us decide what we should do now.”
“What do you think we should do, Mr Hedo?” a voice sounded out as another figure appeared on the large screen.
Different from the others, this figure was tall and well-built. He did not look like a human and seemed like an alien.
If Karos was here, he would have cried out in shock because this person was also a Kar person.
He appeared on the screen, dressed in robes.
When he appeared, everyone looked at him.
“Mr Hedo…”
Looking at that Kar person, someone said, “Just like you said, those mutated creatures have gone berserk and begun to attack. What do you recommend for us to do?”
“Recommend?” the tall Kar person looked at the others and gave a cold smile, “I long since said that the mutated creatures would attack sooner or later and cause a big ruckus before leaving.
“By now, there isn’t any point in giving any recommendations.
“Your strength is so weak that you can’t defeat even a single mutated creature; what is the point of me giving you any recommendations?”
“Our strength is not enough to defeat mutated creatures, nor can we compare to the Kar civilization…” someone else said seriously, “But that is why we hope you can give us some recommendations.
“Should we defend? And how should we defend… we need your recommendations for this.”
“Hmph…” the Kar person named Hedo coldly harrumphed before looking around and said, “If you’re desperate for a recommendation, then the only one I have to give is to make preparations to leave.
“The attack of the mutated creatures is far from the end. After the mutated creatures stop attacking, the true disaster will arrive.
“When that time comes, your planet will become like our planet, turning into a pile of rubble…”
He thought for a moment before continuing, “As such, in order to preserve your strength, you should begin making preparations to leave this planet.”
“We have prepared some measures; we have already prepared spaceships and a destination,” someone said.
“That is enough then,” Hedo said as he nodded, “Of course, I also recommend that you should go and bring back that Protagonist of yours.
“Even to us Kar people, that Protagonist is a god-like existence. Even though Nothingness Beasts are not on the level of the mutated creatures, they are still top-tier weapons.
“For your human technology, apart from using your most powerful weapons, it would be impossible for you to defeat a Nothingness Beast.
“However, that human was able to destroy a Nothingness Beast with his own power.”
Speaking to there, he deeply breathed in and thought, not knowing what to say, “Let alone you humans, even us Kar people would not be able to do such a thing.
“He contains great potential and secrets in his body. If you can research him and understand those secrets, it will be very beneficial for you.”
“Is that so?” the elders fell silent for a moment before nodding, “We understand. We’ll send out a team to bring the Protagonist back.”
The broadcast was still going on, and they had seen Chen Heng annihilate the Nothingness Beast and destroy a city.
Back then, everyone had been incredibly shocked, including these people.
As the highest-ranking leaders of humanity, they knew far more than ordinary people.
In fact, they had made contact with the Kar people a long time ago. They had obtained much from them, such as their reports of what had happened to their own planet as well as some technology.
It was because of the Kar people’s technology that humanity had been able to hold on until now.
As such, when they had seen the Nothingness Beast, they immediately knew what it was: the greatest crystallization of the Kar civilization’s technology.
From the information from the Kar people, they knew that a Nothingness Beast could easily destroy a city with its terrifying power.
The Nothingness Beast from before was not a high-grade one, but it was not weak. Even if all of humanity wanted to kill it, it would be very difficult.
However, that terrifying Nothingness Beast had been easily destroyed by that person’s own power.
From that moment, they had realized just how terrifying Chen Heng was.
In actuality, even if Hedo had not said that, they had already decided to bring in the Protagonist.
After all, the defensive doors seemed like they were going to fall regardless.
Based on their predictions, the mutated creatures would launch attacks on all the other gathering places.
When that time came, whether or not they opened the doors or not would not matter anymore.
As such, soon, an elite team departed from underground and headed to the surface.
Their task was very simple, which was to come into contact with the Protagonist and do their best to convince him to go with them.
……….
Everyone took this mission very seriously.
…
“Save us!”
“Glorious Savior, please save us!”
“I don’t want to die!”
Flames billowed to the sky, and the ground was covered with ruins and corpses.
There was a massive creature rampaging above the ruins of the city.
It was a massive and terrifying monster, which seemed to be shrouded in Nothingness energy, making it difficult to see its true appearance.
It appeared on the surface of the earth and walked underground step by step, taking countless lives with every step.
Terrifying amounts of energy spread out from the mutated creature’s body, affecting its surroundings.
The environment and various creatures were quickly infected by the mutated creature’s aura, quickly going through mutations.
As their bodies began to change, they gave off howls.
Within a silent room, Chen Heng slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
Right now, he could sense an overwhelming sense of despair from the distance.
There were people crying out to him, praying that he would go to them.
“Almighty god, please send your Savior to save us!”
“I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die!”
“Noble Savior, please listen to our prayers and destroy this evil mutated creature!”
Prayers continuously sounded out in Chen Heng’s mind.
As the prayers sounded out, faith threads continuously formed within his body and became corporeal.
The faith threads becoming solid represented the sincerity of his worshippers.
During times of crisis, his worshippers’ faith became incredibly sincere, and large amounts of faith energy flowed into Chen Heng.
“What happened…” Chen Heng shook his head, clearing his mind of the large amounts of prayers.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, sinking into his thoughts.
After a few moments, he walked out of the room.
Outside, there were piercing alarm sounds, which Chen Heng could clearly hear from a distance.
“The mutated creatures have begun to move…” Karos said seriously, “Mutated creatures have awoken all over the world, and they are most likely attacking your bases…”
As Karos spoke, scenes appeared on the screen before them.
Within those scenes, chilling pictures appeared.
Massive mutated creatures were rampaging, and every step they took seemed to cause the earth to shake.
Massive amounts of Nothingness energy flooded out of their bodies, turning into a black fog that spread out in the air.
In the underground world, many people were infected by the mutated creature’s aura, and they began to mutate.
It could be said that compared to the people they directly killed, the mutated creatures killed far more people by causing them to mutate.
Every moment there were tens of thousands of people dying.
After this calamity, there would be very few people left from this District; most people would have either been killed by the mutated creatures or died from being infected by the mutated creatures’ aura.
Moreover, after dying, those people’s corpses would most likely become terrifying lifeforms like the Corpse People.
Right now, it was not just a few hundred or a few thousand people suffering through this but hundreds of millions of people.
On the massive screen, Liu Na could clearly hear those people’s cries of pain and terror.
She instinctively gripped her fists, wishing she could go over there and beat up the mutated creatures.
However, she knew that this would be impossible.
With how powerful the mutated creatures were, it would be impossible for her to reach them.
Before she could even get close, she would begin to mutate due to their terrifying energy.
When that time came, no one would be able to save her like before.
Standing there, she could not help but tremble. She wanted to do something but knew that she was powerless to do anything.
“If it was him…”
At that moment, she thought of Chen Heng, as well as how he had annihilated a Nothingness Beast with a single strike, “If it was him, perhaps he could defeat those things…”
Her body trembled as she thought to herself.
As she thought this, she instinctively wanted to turn and look at Chen Heng.
However, she stopped herself from doing so—she had no right to ask someone else to fight.
Fighting with the mutated creatures would be death for anyone.
She could not go, and yet she was going to tell someone else to go and fight them; wasn’t that essentially telling him to die?
Moreover, with Chen Heng’s status, telling him to go fight the mutated creatures did not seem very appropriate.
From what Karos had said, Chen Heng was essentially a miracle.
If they could research the mysteries in his body, they would be able to change this world and bring hope to humanity.
This kind of person could not go and risk his life to fight those mutated creatures.
Then… was there no other way?
Liu Na felt quite complicated, not knowing what to say.
“Someone is coming…” Karos suddenly said.
“What?”
Hearing Karos’ voice, Liu Na felt quite surprised.
“Someone is coming,” Karos said as he pointed at the screen, “And they are moving quite quickly.”
Liu Na looked at the screen and saw a red dot quickly moving towards their location.
“Who are they?” Liu Na asked.
“I don’t know,” Karos replied as he shook his head, “But from their trajectory, they seem to be heading straight here, so we are most likely their target. This is most likely a team from humanity, and their goal is most likely him…”
Karos pointed towards Chen Heng’s room as he spoke.
Liu Na nodded and quickly came to her senses.
“Should we stop them from coming in?” Karos asked, “Or should we let them in?”
“Let them in.”
Hearing Karos’ words, Liu Na sighed and replied, “Don’t worry, with my teacher’s son here, they won’t be able to do anything…”
Hearing those words, Karos instinctively pouted.
In actuality, even without Chen Heng here, those people would not have been able to do much.
After all, this was his base, and he had his puppets and machines everywhere.
However, he did not say anything and just nodded as he began to open up for them.
“Wait!”
However, soon, he discovered that something was off, and his eyes widened, “Damnit, what have these people done!”
Hearing Karos’ words, Liu Na instinctively looked ahead, and her eyes also widened.
On the screen, behind the red dot there was a big black dot rushing towards them.
“Those people attracted a mutated creature!” Liu Na stared as she muttered to herself.
Outside.
“Are we going to die here?”
There were many tanks traveling, and within one of them, a tall middle-aged man looked at the screen before him with a look of despair in his eyes.
