Chapter 57: The Current Situation of the Group; Heading to the Southeast Evacuation Point
After sending the message, he opened Shen Man's.
Shen Man's messages are completely different from those of others.
The first message, at midnight: "Something happened in Hangzhou. Are you awake? Never mind, you're probably asleep."
Article 2: "The seal on the Demon Cave has been broken by the Blood Eye Cult. All nine levels are open. The Shadow Abyss Wolf King is at the ninth rank."
Article 3: "I'm in Shanghai, 700 kilometers away from Hangzhou. I'm getting on the rescue team's shuttle now, and I should arrive before dawn."
……
The fourth to twelfth messages were repeated: "Are you awake?" "Reply!" "Damn it, at least reply!" Interspersed among them were a few voice messages, which Lin Yuan didn't dare to listen to.
He replied with a message: "I'm awake. I was sleeping when a Tier 2 Shadow Abyss Wolf smashed through the wall next to mine and buried me under the plaster."
Shen Man replied instantly: "Damn, you're still alive? Where's Shadow Wolf?"
"Big sister, do you really want me dead? I just killed Shadow Abyss Wolf."
"Then stay in the hotel and don't move. Our support team from Shanghai University will arrive before dawn at the latest."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, then typed in reply: "Okay."
Next, click on Bai Li's.
Bai Li's messages started at 12:30 AM.
First: "Senior, where are you? A lot of monsters suddenly appeared in the city, and Xiaxia and I ran out of the dormitory."
The second item is a photo—half of the dormitory building of Hangzhou No. 7 Middle School has collapsed, and flames and thick smoke are pouring out of the windows.
The third message, at 1 AM: "We're currently in a temporary shelter in the south. Teachers from No. 7 Middle School brought us here. It's safe here for now. Where are you?"
......
Article 6: "I'm very worried about you."
Lin Yuan replied to Bai Li: "It's nothing. I'm at a hotel in the city center. I just killed a monster. I'll come and meet you now."
Bai Li replied instantly.
He simply said "Mmm," followed by the sentence, "Be careful."
Lin Yuan looked at the word "hmm" and smiled. He could almost imagine Bai Li's expression when she typed that word.
Then I opened Jiang Ran's message.
Jiang Ran started posting at 1 a.m., sending several messages in a row.
The general message was that there was a safe spot in the southeast, and a transport plane would be there soon to evacuate those with first-tier or lower superpowers and civilians.
Tell Lin Yuan to come here quickly, and don't go west, the west has already fallen! Head southeast!
Lin Yuan said he would go and meet them right away, and then turned off his phone screen, the cold white light from the screen shining on his face.
He sat in the hotel room with a large hole in it, leaning against a half-collapsed wall.
All messages have been replied to.
Su Qingyue was stopped halfway, Shen Man was flying in the sky, Bai Li and Xia Xia were in the South City shelter, and Jiang Ran and Song Zhiyi were still alive.
Everyone thought he was sleeping...
But in fact he was sleeping, only before a second-tier Shadow Abyss Wolf smashed through the room next to his.
He switched his phone to the news page.
The local news channel in Hangzhou has crashed, and the homepage displays a large, glaring red emergency announcement: The seal on the underground demon cave has completely broken down, and all citizens must immediately go to the nearest shelter.
The live stream from the National Association of Supernatural Abilities' main channel kept loading intermittently due to buffering issues.
The image is a panoramic view of Hangzhou taken from the air by a drone.
Lin Yuan glanced at it, his pupils contracting slightly.
Hangzhou is on fire.
It's not just one street, not just a few buildings, but most of the western part of the city.
Flames shot into the sky over Xicheng District, and thick smoke lingered in the air above the city.
The southern district is relatively intact, but the streets are filled with Shadow Abyss Wolves.
Further away, monsters from the dense forest surged into the city like a tide: blue-maned wolves, thorny boars... and even several enormous rock-armored giant lizards rampaged through the streets.
Lin Yuan smiled and put his phone in his pocket.
He stood up and dug the dark gray casual jacket out of the rubble.
The coat was covered in dust, but after patting it a couple of times, it was barely wearable.
Lin Yuan took out his phone and sent a message to the hotel receptionist.
A red exclamation mark pops up next to the message bubble – message failed to send, the recipient's phone is switched off or out of service area.
"Hold."
Lin Yuan cursed, "I'm a hotel customer, aren't I? They ran away without even calling me? What kind of terrible service is this? They didn't even offer a wake-up call. Bad review, I'll definitely give you a bad review after I get out."
But what Lin Yuan didn't know was that the receptionist had actually knocked on the door.
I knocked for a full three minutes, until my voice was hoarse, but there was no response from the room.
Lin Yuan was dreaming at the time, and in his dream, a hot pot was bubbling and steaming.
In my dream, the knocking at the front desk sounded like the hot pot restaurant owner chopping bones, a rhythmic thump-thump-thump.
He turned over and fell into a deeper sleep.
He's awake now.
He was the only person left in the entire hotel, from top to bottom.
There wasn't a single living person within a hundred meters.
The streets were deserted, save for the distant firelight and the occasional howl of a monster.
Lin Yuan hoisted Zidian onto his shoulder and stepped out of the hotel through the broken bricks and glass shards.
He stood in the middle of the empty street and first checked his own condition.
Source power, fully replenished.
I brought four bottles of Rejuvenation Pills and two bottles of Healing Spray. On the system panel, my Energy Points balance is 2480.
Hangzhou is now a hell.
But for him, hell is an experience pack, so hell is a leveling zone.
Each of those Shadow Abyss Wolves is a walking superpower point.
The monsters emerging from the Demon Cave grant significantly more ability points than those on the surface, which may be the only good news for the next few hours.
He needs superpower points.
The threshold of 5,000 points for advancing to D-rank is still far off, but with each additional kill, you get one step closer to the second-tier lightning type.
If one can break through to the second tier during this catastrophe, combined with the foundation of Nine-Round Bone Tempering and the S-rank Herrscher of Time and Space, one might be able to put up a fight against any monsters below the third tier.
But Lin Yuan's first priority is to get to a safe point; saving his own life is the most important thing!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuan took out his phone and, while running, looked at Bai Li and sent her the location of his safe spot.
The location showed that he was currently in the western part of Hangzhou—he chose this hotel because it was close to the exam venue, so he could sleep in a little longer in the morning.
Now, the price of sleeping a little longer is being closest to the monster tide.
"Damn it," he cursed, "I shouldn't have been so greedy for those twenty minutes of sleep."
......
To the southeast, the Hexagon is about 13 kilometers away.
Normally, a ride in a hovercar would only take about ten minutes, but given the current situation on the street, with the hovercar tracks broken like that, walking is faster than driving.
Across the street, in front of the convenience store, three Tier 1 Eight Shadow Abyss Wolves were tearing apart the corpse of a superhuman.
Hearing the sound of him landing, the three wolves raised their heads at the same time. Their eerie green pupils were quite frightening, and they hadn't swallowed the bits of flesh and blood at the corners of their mouths.
Lin Yuan did not stop.
Zi Dian spun in his hand, then spun around and slashed diagonally.
