Chapter 1275: Chapter 1271: Heading to the Underground City
At a glance, the gathered crowd numbered tens of thousands, while the regular citizens of South City were around 300,000 in total.
If all these people were to gather and be moved collectively, it would take a tremendous amount of time…
Therefore, Number 38 quickly decided to start the evacuation now!
With such a large number of people, Number 38’s alone voice was insufficient, so he grabbed Zhang Kan’s loudspeaker.
With the help of the loudspeaker, along with Number 38’s booming voice, everyone could naturally hear him.
“Everyone, as I mentioned earlier, we are facing immense danger. If we don’t evacuate quickly, we risk a fatal end. Now that everyone believes us, we will certainly move everyone to a safe place without hesitation.
To prevent chaos due to the growing number of people, we will start the evacuation now. I ask the police among the citizens to maintain order. What will happen next will be unprecedented, so I hope everyone remains calm and evacuates quietly!”
Before the evacuation, Number 38 had to loudly remind everyone.
After all, the technology of the Black Hole Clan was years ahead of this world, so if the regular citizens of South City witnessed unbelievable scenes, panic might ensue.
This was precisely why Number 38 gave the citizens of South City a preemptive warning…
However, the citizens of South City still didn’t understand what Number 38 meant, leaving everyone puzzled.
“What do you mean? Start evacuating now? But with so many of us, what transportation will we use? Planes? Cars? Trains?”
“Why did he say we shouldn’t be alarmed? Is a dinosaur going to appear?”
“Honestly, why do these people keep playing tricks? It makes our hearts race, and we don’t know what to do.”
While the citizens were buzzing with discussion, the injured Martial Artists from the Night King Hall, Tianmen, and the Ye family all gathered at the citizens’ meeting point.
Having been gravely injured on the battlefield, these Martial Artists could no longer fight. So, accompanied by medical teams, they began evacuating alongside the citizens of South City.
The evacuation destination was the residence of the Black Hole Clan members. Although it seemed cold and damp compared to the outside city, it was safer than the crisis-laden South City.
Thus, the injured, apart from Ye Tian and Tian Qi, were relocated for recuperation…
Seeing the crowd grow ever larger, Number 38 continued with the loudspeaker, calling out: “Everyone, we will be going to a safe place soon. Although the environment there is quite harsh, it is absolutely safe, so once there, we hope everyone remains quiet and maintains order to avoid unnecessary casualties from chaos!”
The repeated exhortations had begun to wear on the patience of the regular citizens of South City…
“With all this talking, when can we finally leave South City? And how exactly will you safely evacuate us? There isn’t a single aircraft in the sky, no trains or cars in sight, and being an inland city, there are no waterways for evacuation!”
“Exactly! You claim to be here to save us, but you act so lukewarmly. This level of calmness during a crisis is maddening!”
“Hurry up and move us to a safe place! If not, I’m going home to sleep! Who cares if South City is dangerous or not? Living in constant fear will eventually drive me insane! I would rather die immediately!” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel※fire.net
The citizens of South City were filled with complaints. Standing by Number 38, the police captain Zhang Kan repeatedly reminded: “Brother, now that so many have gathered, I think it’s best to begin the evacuation swiftly! No need for more talking!”
“Understood, I’ll do it now!”
With that, Number 38 waved his hand, and with the motion, a massive vortex appeared before him!
The glowing vortex rotated slowly like an astronomical dynamic galaxy map, leaving the citizens of South City gaping in awe.
“Wha… what is this? I’ve never seen anything in my life; is this magic?”
“It looks increasingly like a black hole; although it’s white, it feels like it could suck people in!”
“With just a wave of the hand, this appears… am I dreaming?”
Even Zhang Kan, standing beside Number 38, widened his eyes, staring intently at the vortex…
“Brother, this is unbelievable! What exactly did you do to conjure such a bizarre thing?”
For the Martial Artists in the Annihilation Squad who worked with the elders’ thoughts, traveling through different spaces was routine, so it wasn’t surprising to them.
However, known technology didn’t include different spaces for South City’s citizens, so seeing an open doorway to a different space naturally astonished them.
Luckily, due to Number 38’s prior warning, the regular citizens weren’t thrown into chaos by the sudden surreal sight.
Among everyone, only the injured from the Night King Hall, Tianmen, and the Ye family were not surprised by the different space; they were already accustomed to the Black Hole Clan’s advanced technology!
To reassure the citizens that the different space wasn’t fatal, Number 38 continued to explain loudly: “Everyone, this is a product of advanced technology, far surpassing modern standards. You may think of it as an alternate dimensional space. As soon as we enter this vortex, we’ll reach another safe location.
Of course, to prove the vortex’s safety, my companions and I will venture to our destination first and wait for everyone there. Please proceed through this vortex under the police’s protection!”
Saying so, Number 38 entered the vortex first, his body gradually swallowed by it until he vanished from sight.
The citizens of South City watched in disbelief as a person disappeared; if not an advanced technology, then what could it be?
“This is truly advanced technology! But how did this come about? Was it developed by Americans?”
“Who knows! I think just this technology alone could warrant a Nobel Prize. It’s a significant scientific breakthrough, but it’s been hidden from the world; what’s going on with these scientists, ignoring fame and profit?”
“Yeah! Wonder if someone has patented it. Such advanced technology would be invaluable anywhere!”
The citizens of South City resumed their chatter, and Zhang Kan, the police captain, immediately began maintaining order!
“Everyone, please remain calm. Don’t be noisy; with so many people, if everyone’s not quiet, evacuation will be delayed! The current South City situation is unstable, and a delay might plunge everyone back into danger! So, please try to stay quiet; we police will ensure everyone safely reaches the evacuation point!”
No wonder he’s a policeman; the citizens of South City all trusted Zhang Kan’s words, quieting down in no time at all.
At this moment, the number of people gathered here increased further—now over 100,000, meaning half the South City citizens had gathered here.
All the citizens trusted that Number 38 and his companions would lead everyone to safety…
Seeing the citizens calm down, Warriors 54, 75, belonging to the Annihilation Squad, and several Qinggong-skilled Tianmen disciples sent by Daichong entered the different space as well.
Seeing this, Zhang Kan took a deep breath and stepped into the vortex, arriving at South City’s Underground City through a passage.
There, Number 38 was already activating the energy source to open another different space entrance!
“What is this place?”
Zhang Kan inquired closely, and knowing this policeman came to ensure the citizens’ safety, Number 38 held nothing back.
“Officer, you might not believe it, but we are beneath South City!”
“Beneath South City?”
Zhang Kan looked around; the space was vast, enough to hold not just South City’s 300,000 citizens but even one million!
“South City’s underground has such a place; is this real?”
Zhang Kan asked in astonishment, while Number 38’s eyes shone with sincerity.
“Indeed, South City has long been controlled by malevolence. Unknown to you, these malevolent people built this place underground! Now, surely you can believe we aren’t the bad guys?”
“Of course you aren’t bad guys! I’ve been a detective for years, I can discern good from bad!”
Zhang Kan smiled back at Number 38 and raised his head. This Underground City was not only expansive but also incredibly tall, with vast space!
