Whoosh, whoosh—
The wind outside the window gradually intensified! Like the roar of a beast!
Even the window frames were trembling violently! Some broken branches and fallen leaves, mixed with soil, were blown onto the glass, making crackling sounds! Such commotion.
Finally, it made Xu Xingyao unable to sleep peacefully, and she opened her eyes in surprise! She sat up.
Her gaze turned to the window.
She saw thick, rolling red mist! Like a bloody tide! Surging towards her madly! It was as if it wanted to swallow her whole!
This suffocating sense of oppression!
Made Xu Xingyao realize how insignificant humans are in the face of natural disasters!
Fear invaded her body and mind! "What's happening? Lin Lang!"
She panicked and jumped out of bed!
Not even bothering to put on clothes!
She searched everywhere in the villa for Lin Lang.
...
In the jungle.
The Ferocious Beasts roared incessantly!
The trees shook wildly! Like a global carnival!
But the one who caused all this—
Was sitting on the rooftop, motionless like a bronze statue in meditation! Letting the vast spiritual energy!
Sometimes like a tornado!
Sometimes transforming into various Ferocious Beasts and demons! Sometimes into soldiers and weapons! All charging at him as if to judge him! Yet without exception, all were absorbed into his Superpower Core.
...
"Report!"
"According to the 'Air Quality Index Detector'!"
"The red mist content in Mingyue City is rapidly decreasing!"
Mingyue City.
Special Agent Base!
The monitoring department staff hurried over to report the special situation they had just discovered to the Special Agent Chief!
"Hmm."
The Chief stood by the window with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the gradually brightening world outside.
"I detected it too."
The red mist that had previously engulfed the world.
Was now gradually disappearing.
"Is the apocalypse over?"
"Is our life going to return to normal?"
Such a thought uncontrollably surged in everyone's heart! But.
Everyone also knew deep down—
Whether the red mist disappeared or not, they could never go back.
Because!
This world had developed superpowers, Ferocious Beasts, Evil Spirits! Too many things that should not have appeared! Completely dethroning the technology once revered by this civilization!
Perhaps, some had already gotten used to it.
But some had not!
Especially! As the red mist gradually dissipated! The world that had been obscured for so long was gradually revealing its current, true appearance—
The human world had been completely taken over by plants!
Looking around!
A sea of green!
Some thick trees were even taller than skyscrapers! Even reaching into the sky! Their tops hidden in the clouds!
Easily breaking records set by human construction!
...
Streets, shops, cars... were now completely out of sight! Instead, one could see! Some huge Ferocious Beasts walking around in the forest! For example, an unknown creature with spider-like slender limbs and a furry back, standing a hundred meters tall!
Strolling leisurely in the forest!
Looking from afar, it was eerily harmonious!
As if they had not grown larger.
But humans had grown smaller.
...
A thought inexplicably surfaced in the Special Agent Chief's mind: "Perhaps, the red mist was not our enemy, but here to protect us!"
"Now that the red mist has dissipated, people can only face this new world directly!"
At this moment! Another staff member came running and reported:
"Report! According to satellite imagery, everything is normal globally except for the Red Mist in Mingyue City, which is disappearing!"
"What?!"
This discovery left everyone in shock!
Only the Red Mist in Mingyue City had disappeared? Although they didn't know what this meant.
But!
In such a completely unknown situation! To be singled out and face the crisis first!
Was certainly not a wise move!
Yet, this was not something they could decide!
Before they could digest the previous news!
Another staff member came running: "Report! The Red Mist levels in all areas of Mingyue City are decreasing, except for... the Jiangbei area!"
"The Red Mist levels there are still rising!"
"What?!"
Hearing this!
Everyone was shocked again!
The Chief's expression also changed:
"So, the Red Mist hasn't disappeared, but has all gathered in that area?"
"Why?"
"What exists in that area?"
Everyone looked bewildered! At this moment!
The Chief ordered Xu Bing, who was standing nearby:
"Xu Bing! Since Ouyang Yunzhi is not here, you are now appointed as the acting Captain of the Martial Arts Squad!"
"Take the members of the Martial Arts Squad and head to the Jiangbei area to investigate the truth!"
"Yes!"
Xu Bing accepted the order and left.
...
The Chief's gaze was grave, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Ouyang Yunzhi, you living ancestor, where on earth have you run off to?!"
Ouyang Yunzhi was known as the encyclopedia of the apocalypse! If she were here!
She would definitely know the truth!...
On the rooftop! Lin Lang floated into the sky!
With a wide-open mouth! He inhaled all the remaining Spiritual energy around him into his body! Everything returned to calm! Then he leisurely opened his eyes——
Clear sky.
Blazing sun!
An endless world of vegetation! "Oh, has the world already turned into this?"
Although he had anticipated it.
When such a scene suddenly flooded his vision!
It still gave him a tremendous shock!
Completely shattering his original impression of this world!
[Lin Lang]
[Combat Power: SSS]
[Physical Body: Eightfold Enhancement]
[Superpowers: Divine Sense (Level 5); Spirit Wood (Level 10); Beast Control (Level 9); Illusion (Level 9)]
Lin Lang's Combat Power had finally reached the SSS level!
While the outside world was still mostly at C and B levels! He had already broken through to SSS level! This wasn't just leading the pack!
It was like!
They weren't even on the same track!
Unmatched in the world!
He used his Divine Sense to examine himself——
The Superpower Core!
Had completely transformed into a purple orb, emitting an extremely dazzling light!
Every cell in his body! Was filled to the limit with Spiritual energy!
With every move he made, the Spiritual energy inside him flowed like rivers, or like thunderbolts!
Even the slightest leakage of power! Was enough to instantly kill an S-level Ferocious Beast!...
"Lin Lang! Lin Lang!"
At this moment.
Lin Lang heard Xu Xingyao's urgent voice.
So, he flew back into the bedroom through the window.
Seeing him appear unharmed.
Xu Xingyao was overjoyed to the point of tears!
She threw herself into his arms and said:
"Where did you go! You scared me to death!"
"You have no idea, it was like the heavens were raging outside just now! So terrifying! The wind was so strong, it felt like it was going to blow my house away! Wuwuwu!"
"I was really afraid you'd be blown away too..."
Lin Lang couldn't help but smile: "It wasn't that exaggerated!"
He reached out and gently patted Xu Xingyao's back.
He was also settling into and gradually getting used to the power he now possessed.
Although this time, he had absorbed all the spiritual energy of Moonlight City in one go! But Lin Lang could feel—
This was still far from his limit!
...
Xu Xingyao was truly frightened.
Earlier, she was at the eye of the storm, and the apocalyptic scene was more than a small B-level Esper like her could handle.
She was like a startled fawn.
Begging Lin Lang not to leave.
Lin Lang had no choice.
So he stayed.
He spent a few more days with her, giving her plenty of comfort.
Xu Xingyao was very excited and started working on her cosplay again.
A new look every day.
Not a single repeat in several days! Thanks to Lin Lang's strength, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep up!
...
And then! A group of uninvited guests.
Were closing in on them.
