A cautious and step-by-step approach.
The play has begun!
During the entire journey, the Prosperity stopped briefly at the Seven Cities, supplied some fresh water and Fuel Element, dropped off some equipment and stock, and then set off straight towards Central Earth, fully loaded with Peacekeeping Cats destined for Central Earth.
Through the starry night at full speed.
Even went out of the way to bypass most transfer stations, moving at varying speeds so no one could figure out its schedule and position.
In just three days, it was already nearing the waters approaching Central Earth. If the speed was faster, it could reach the Federation Military Base by noon tomorrow, which was once one of Central Earth's largest cities.
Once the shining jewel of barren land across Central Earth, now the most chaotic region in Central Earth's southern part, the capital before the White Country collapsed—[Taiwo].
In the Central Earth language, "Taiwo" means tower.
Before the White Country collapsed, this place gathered more than one-third of Central Earth's wealth, countless amounts of Gold adorned the white towers, known as the city of ten thousand towers. But now, the White Country is no more, Gold is gone, and only a barren land of endless war remains after the tall towers have crumbled and shattered, stretching to a refugee camp without end.
But to the Federation, even a ruin on a slum is an undeniable gold city.
Every day, massive amounts of Fuel Element are loaded onto ships from here, continuously shipped to the Federation to supply its insatiable consumption and greed.
Under the flow of massive amounts of funds, a dazzling gold city has risen again from the ruins, reconstructed once more, regrettably, no longer related to the Central Earth people.
Arms dealers, energy firms, luxury goods merchants, brokers, second-hand sellers, spies, assassins, Imperial Secret Bureau, Federation Security Bureau, Federation Military Department, Imperial Seven-Star Tower... if you don't have some job, you're embarrassed to enter here!
In terms of composition, it really is a fascinating spectacle that opens one's eyes wide!
Ji Jue flipping through intelligence about Taiwo on his phone, picking spots, habitually instructs: "Isis, help me with these—"
Words pause for a moment, he sneers at himself.
A mechanical response sounds, the precautions updated.
Unfortunately, it's no longer Isis, but during the brief pause of Isis completing its Rebirth, Ji Jue casually replaced it with a Lou Family investment-made assistant.
Functions are equally sufficient, but the details and considerate aspects differ greatly.
No one even argues with him anymore.
Oh no, he actually started missing his home spirit from the workshop that always likes to rebel and deceive its master, no, must be wary of Spirit of Creation PUA on craftsmen!
In the midst of wild thoughts, he made himself laugh.
Ji Jue shook his head, put down his phone, planning to continue his modification work, but his movement suddenly paused.
Has the wind risen?
Under the clear, cloudless night, the sea surface rippled, and following that, a cloud silently appeared at the horizon.
The calm sea gradually surged, the tides growing violent in the storm.
The clash between steel and wave emitted a roar,
The sea and sky, wide to the point of being terrifying, gradually became narrow under the clouds' cover and pressure, like a madly shaking box.
In the box, atop the waves, the Prosperity was like a leaf, rising and falling rapidly in the tides.
It was just like riding a roller coaster!
The storm, with no warning, came swooping towards him!
Ji Jue turned back to look at the screen in front—clear weather on the forecast was evident.
Boom!!!
Amid a colossal boom that shook the heavens and earth, savage lightning slashed across the sea and sky, narrowly missing the Prosperity, electromagnetic wave impact causing numerous devices to immediately issue alarms, lights flickering unstably.
And immediately, the diligent sonar sounded a warning.
[Large quantities of unknown objects approaching]
.
.
"A storm?"
In Taiwo, within the Central Earth Security Bureau's station, Tong Shan frowned, looking at his subordinate: "When?"
"Just now, the satellite department discovered a freshly formed gas mass without any warning." The monitoring staff wiped sweat, closely watching the refreshed messages on the screen and a brand-new red-frame alert.
Dryly, swallowing hard.
"Gathering of massive dangerous signals, suspected Disaster Beast group riot…spiritual signal identified, [Sea Locust]!"
"Ha..."
Tong Shan's expression gradually darkened, staring at the screen.
Beneath the huge pale gas mass, small droplets of crimson blood points appeared, even, unaware, sailing towards death like a fragile boat...
Locating the Prosperity, flashing intermittently, swallowed by the clouds.
Gone.
