Chapter 1179 - Its Getting Serious

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the six-footed, hairless cat came out, the earth finally quieted down. Those huge cracks and the large hole created by the cat were left on the ground, showing people that something had come out from underground in that area.

“Did that creature… fly away?” Jingyan and Yan Xiao both landed on a tree near Lin Qiao, staring at the sky as they murmured.

“No,” Lin Qiao shook her head and said, “It ran away.”

It didn’t fly; it just moved so fast that the others didn’t even manage to capture its movement with their eyes before it disappeared.

Lin Qiao dropped her head and glanced at the quiet hole on the ground, then leaped off the tree, flashing down to the devastated highway.

“Chief!” Seeing Lin Qiao show up in the middle of the highway, the others gave a start. They were worried that she might turn into a puff of sand as those trees did.

With her back to them, Lin Qiao waved a hand and signaled for them not to worry. She squatted by an earth crack and looked down, then stood up. More black smoke had been coming out of it, but apart from that, nothing in the crack made her feel dangerous.

It meant that no other creatures were down there.

Was there only one giant, six-footed cat down there? Why?

Lin Qiao found that abnormal. She spent a short while carefully looking down, but sensed no vibe at all. Nothing threatening exited down there.

She stood up and lowered her head to look at her own body. The dark smoke was shrouding her, but not bringing her any discomfort. She did not feel any energy invading her body either.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She glanced at the area where the red cat disappeared in, then waved at the others and said, “Let’s go.” After saying that, she flashed across the air and disappeared.

The others quickly followed behind her.

Only after they left the sanded area did Lin Qiao take out the vehicles from her space. Then, they sat back into the cars and kept driving toward the base.

…

In the base, Lin Feng was sitting in his office with a deep frown. He was carefully reading the information provided by Yuan Tianxing’s teammates, trying to figure out something.

The mysterious entities underground made those underground gorillas run out of the cave and expose themselves under the sunlight which might take their lives. Old Guo and the others sensed a strange type of energy down there, which was harmful to many creatures on the earth’s surface, surely including human beings.

Without a doubt, whatever was down underground was highly threatening to the All Being Base, which was only tens of miles away from that area. That energy hadn’t come out to the surface yet, but it might in the future.

Right now, what was happening underground was still a mystery, and Yuan Tianxing was in a coma. Many works were left for Lin Feng to do. Thankfully, Chen Yuting had been helping him. Otherwise, he would probably be drowning in work by now.

The thousands of survivors in the base were each provided with a portion of food per day, which could keep them healthy. The capable ones went out of the base to accomplish missions, then returned to the base to trade their harvests for credits. The farm in Mount. Wu area had not only been feeding the people in All Being Base, but had also been providing food for Sea City Base. The yield of the farm was already pretty high, and under Liu Jun’s management, it was constantly expanding.

“Haven’t we found any leads to Wenwen yet?” Chen Yuting brought a file to Lin Feng. Seeing the latter knitting his brows, he asked a question.

“Not a clue,” Lin Feng shook his head and said, “But now, many believe that she was brought into her own space by her own power. I tend to think that way too, because it makes me feel better. We can’t tell when she will come back. Apart from that possibility, we’ve already been preparing ourselves for some worse results. We’ve been sending people out of the base to look for her all the time, but nothing has been found yet…”

While speaking, he sighed and then leaned against the back of his chair, closing his eyes and looking very exhausted.

“Haven’t you made any contact with Chief?” Chen Yuting asked another question. The problems that now existed in the base weren’t large. However, Lin Feng wasn’t able to solve them. Lin Qiao was needed.

“Not yet. I think she’ll come straight back once A finds her. A left the base last night. He couldn’t possibly have flown to the Northwest already,” Lin Feng said with a very tired voice and his eyes closed.

Chen Yuting spent a short while looking at him silently, then gave a sigh as well. He thought for a moment, then said, “I wonder what action will Sea City Base take to respond to Huaxia Base. Si Kongchen isn’t hiding his purpose anymore. I heard that he’s been making contact with other countries more frequently than before lately. I guess he’ll take some new actions before long.”

Speaking of Huaxia Base, Chen Yuting’s tone of speaking grew serious as well.

The news about Huaxia Base brought Lin Feng a headache. It wasn’t the time for him to deal with that yet, so after spending a short while thinking about it, he cast it out of his mind and said, “Whatever! No matter what’s going to happen, Wu Chengyue will be handling it. We need to solve our own problems right now. We have no time to worry about them. Si Kongchen is not gonna take direct action right now. If he does, we’ll see what we can do.”

At that moment, Shen Yujen suddenly ran over in a flurry. She knocked on the door quickly, then came in and said, “Look at this! Things are getting serious!” While speaking, she put two pieces of paper on Lin Feng’s desk.

Lin Feng opened his eyes to look at her. Seeing her being so anxious, he realized that it might be something urgent. “What’s going on?” he asked.

“See for yourself,” Shen Yujen pointed at the papers on the desk.

Lin Feng picked up the papers while Chen Yuting looked at him with curiosity. Lin Feng was reading the note, so he couldn’t see it. He couldn’t help but turn to Shen Yujen and ask, “What happened?”

Shen Yujen said, “According to the messages from the other bases, some weird creatures never seen in the world before are showing up in many areas. They are all from the underground, weird-looking and highly dangerous. When they first came out, they always turned the surrounding area into a death zone.”

It took Chen Yuting a few seconds to process that information. “What? Monsters showed up near the other bases? Like those underground gorillas? Where is the news from?”

“Huaxia Base, Heilong Base, Mongols Base,” said Shen Yujen with a serious look, “Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base. Currently, only Green Mountain Base hasn’t released such news yet.”

Chen Yuting popped his eyes with surprise. He turned to look at Lin Feng and found the latter’s brows knitted even deeper than before.
