Jian Ning came out of the immortal abode and went to her bedroom. She looked out the window.

The world hasn't really changed much from before.

The only difference was that the fog seemed to be thicker. After leaving the courtyard, we arrived at the main gate of the base.

The cracks in the ground outside were still visible, but they appeared to be covered by a thin, transparent film.

This separated the area from the outside of the base into two separate worlds.

Needless to say, this membrane was created by Minglan. She gently stretched out a finger to touch it, and it passed through without any hindrance.

It's amazing, it seems this means that the Immortal Abode is still under her control, and there are no restrictions on her.

He strode out of the base, and as soon as he stepped outside, the strong smell of volcanic ash hit him.

She quickly held her breath and erected a spiritual energy shield. Although it wouldn't work for long, the volcanic ash wouldn't harm her in the short term.

The sky in the distance was already half red, so it seemed that this volcano would not be extinguished anytime soon.

Jian Ning then walked to the crevice in the ground and looked down. Good heavens, it was cracked all the way to the Earth's core.

Although the fissure wasn't particularly wide, it was incredibly deep, exposing the underlying rock layers.

"Xiao Ning, what are you doing outside?"

Xiao Lingfeng came out of the regimental headquarters and saw Jian Ning standing outside the base, bending down and looking at something. He wanted to go out, but felt that something was blocking his way.

Guessing that Jian Ning had come up with some new trick, I stood there and shouted.

"Let me see, is the earthquake over? I don't feel any aftershocks."

Jian Ning straightened up, turned around and looked at Xiao Lingfeng.

"Not necessarily. This earthquake had a very large epicenter and a wide amplitude, so there will still be aftershocks."

I just spoke with the commander and plan to go to Beijing tomorrow to check on the situation. Xiao Ning, what kind of magic did you use? Why can't I get out?

Xiao Lingfeng touched the invisible barrier in front of him and asked from inside.

"This is to isolate the air from the volcanic ash outside. People living inside don't need protective clothing and won't breathe in the volcanic ash."

Keep this talisman with you; it will allow you to come and go freely from now on. However, the air pollution outside is too severe.

If you go to Beijing, I'll go with you.

Jian Ning took out a talisman from her pocket, bit her finger, and squeezed a drop of her own blood onto it. Watching the blood be completely absorbed by the yellow paper talisman, she then walked in and handed it to Xiao Lingfeng.

"This works well?" Xiao Lingfeng took it and put it in his pocket. Then he stepped outside, and sure enough, there were no obstacles anymore.

The air outside is really choking.

It had a pungent smell, and he had accidentally inhaled it just now, and now he felt a strong burning sensation in his throat.

This stuff is really toxic. I quickly took a step back, returned to the base, and took a couple of breaths of fresh air. I immediately felt much better.

"Wife, you are amazing. I admire you so much. I don't know what method you used, but you managed to keep tens of thousands of lives in the base safe and sound. That is the greatest merit you can have."

Xiao Lingfeng was truly grateful to Jian Ning. If it weren't for him, he probably would have died yesterday or today.

"Between husband and wife, there's no need to be so polite. What's that? The waves?"

Jian Ning suddenly pointed outside. Under the hazy sky, it seemed as if a massive wave was surging in, reaching a height of thirty or forty meters, carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Tsunami, Xiao Ning, can your formation stop it?" Looking at the towering waves rapidly approaching from afar, Xiao Lingfeng was really getting anxious.

Jian Ning has lived for five or six hundred years and has never seen a real tsunami. Today is truly an eye-opener; it's absolutely spectacular.

He patted Xiao Lingfeng's arm and said, "Don't worry, let alone a tsunami, even if you bombard the base with cannons from outside, nothing will happen. Just wait and see."

After speaking, he took two steps forward with great interest and stood at the very edge of the barrier between the base and the outside. He watched as the giant wave crashed down upon him without even blinking.

The immortal abode's external defenses are not something that can be shaken by ordinary things; the waves, mixed with various rocks from outside,

There were wrecked cars, trash cans, and all sorts of broken things, but no matter how hard they tried to breach the outer barrier, it was completely ineffective. Not a single drop of seawater could get into the base.

Xiao Lingfeng walked over and was about to reach out to touch the barrier when Jian Ning pulled him back.

“Honey, you better behave yourself. You can get through this barrier, but now you're reaching out? Don't you want this arm anymore? The force of the seawater outside is quite strong. We can't risk our lives.”

"My wife is right, I was careless. Since everything's alright, let's go. We don't need to stay here and watch over things, do we?"

"No need, this tsunami won't have any impact on this place. It wouldn't be able to break through even in a hundred years. Let's go home and rest for a while."

Jian Ning had now confirmed that the Immortal Abode's defenses were completely secure, so she took Xiao Lingfeng's hand and strolled away.

People on the mountain had all run out of the shelter. The sight of huge waves crashing against the mountainside was truly awe-inspiring.

They now seem to live in an underwater world, where they can see not only marine debris but also various giant mutated beasts.

They were being swept away by the waves, as if they were about to crash into the base, but they were blocked by something invisible. At first, everyone was quite scared, but now they were just like children, happily commenting on their experiences, as if they were visiting an underwater world.

"Is this monster a seahorse? It looks like one, but it's quite big and has four eyes."

"It should be... Didn't they say everything in the sea has mutated? What's that? Starfish have grown tails? That's too exaggerated!"

"Look! What's that monster with a fish tail and a human head? Could it be a mermaid? It's so ugly!"

The people in the shelter below kept commenting and pointing. These novel things were like watching a movie, even more exciting than a special effects film.

“Our base does have some talented people, but I don’t know who they are. I’ll have to treat them like royalty and offer incense to them every day.”

May everyone in our base live a peaceful and safe life.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice rang out, and he spoke these words with genuine feeling.

If those monsters in the sea outside could really break into the base, then they wouldn't be so leisurely watching their performance like it's a movie.

Instead, they had to flee in all directions for their lives.

However, it will be useless to run away then. These mutated sea beasts are not to be trifled with. If they can get in, probably none of them will be able to escape.
