A dirty and messy street.
"Buzz—"
A dimensional rift suddenly appeared in the air, tearing through space.
Linna and Ye Wan'er walked out from there.
As they walked out, the dimensional rift behind them quickly closed, and the distorted space rapidly returned to its original state.
Night looked around and asked blankly, "Where am I...?"
“Jian Kingdom, Fede City,” Linnai said. “Jian Kingdom is the most prosperous and powerful nation in the human plane, and also the nation with the most apostles. In recent years, they have been doing business with the gene company very frequently, which has led to rapid economic development. I didn’t expect that this spatial gate could actually travel between planes at will, and the teleportation location was so accurate.”
"Prosperous..." Looking at the dirty and chaotic environment around her at night, with its old houses, garbage everywhere, exposed and smelly sewers, and a nauseating stench, she couldn't help but pinch her nose: "How can the most prosperous country be so dirty?"
"Because we were teleported to the slums of Feder City." Linnaeus gave a wry smile. "Feder City is a city with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Almost all of their resources are concentrated in the hands of those with extremely high talent and superhuman abilities, while the places where ordinary people live are basically like this..."
"Hmm..." Night nodded as if she understood.
But it's strange, really.
Slums should theoretically be the most densely populated places.
Why is there no one here?
Linnaeus felt a little puzzled. He bent down and saw many dense footprints on the dirty ground. These footprints were relatively new and all of them were running in one direction, indicating that they were in a hurry.
It's like a mass exodus for their lives, or a collective escape to a safe haven...
"boom--!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
At that moment, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out!
Looking up, I saw satellite cruise missiles streaking across the sky!
Lin Nai was stunned for a moment: "Holy crap? What's going on?"
After sensing for a few seconds, Ye Wan'er's expression changed drastically: "Brother Lin Nai, a huge number of monsters are coming this way!"
"A monster?" Linnai was taken aback. "In the city?"
Night: "Mmm!"
"boom!"
At that moment, a missile struck the house directly overhead.
Buildings collapsed, and the earthquake shook the ground!
A triangular roof, along with a huge concrete slab, fell directly from the sky, crashing down on Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er!
Seeing this, Lin Nai summoned Bai Ye and unleashed a Silver Moon Slash without hesitation.
The massive concrete slab that collapsed was instantly melted away by the white light, turning into dust!
Then, in addition to the sound of the explosion, the hoarse roar of the monster also reached their ears.
Linnai turned around and saw a huge, densely packed group of things crawling towards them from the other end of the slum street!
At least hundreds... no, thousands... even...
Linnaeus's pupils suddenly contracted.
He finally saw clearly what those densely packed things were—a group of spider-like monsters, varying in size, the smallest being the size of a palm, and the largest exceeding three meters in length! They had eight legs and their entire bodies were covered in fluffy, bristly hairs.
It's a spider demon!
These spider demons not only crawled down from the ground, but also covered the old houses on both sides of the streets. The dense crawling sound was continuous and terrifying!
"Wow...? That's a huge exaggeration!"
Linnai broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously took a step back: "Feder City has been invaded by demons? How can there be so many demons!"
"Hiss!"
A spider demon, over two meters long, was climbing on the wall of a nearby house when it suddenly fell from the sky!
Nightfall's expression turned solemn as she immediately stood in front of Linnai, facing the densely crawling spider demons.
"Dark descendant—Amaterasu!"
Dark red flames suddenly surged forth, burning all the spider demons that tried to surround them to ashes!
Sharp screams echoed from within the raging wall of fire.
As the smoke cleared, Linnai looked at the corpses of the spider demons at his feet; they were all charred.
Lin Nai frowned: "What's going on? What exactly happened in Feder City?"
"Beep beep beep"
At that moment, the system received a call from a communication provider.
Lin Nai opened the system panel and saw that it was Ji Lao calling, so he leisurely answered the call.
"Hello? Mr. Ji, what's up?"
"......"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Immediately afterward, Old Ji's voice, filled with a torrent of curses, rang out: "You brat, you still have the nerve to ask what's going on?! You left the base without even saying goodbye! And I couldn't contact you for so long! You weren't answering your phone! I thought you'd died out there!!"
"..." Lin Nai rubbed her ears, which were still throbbing from the shock. "Is it really necessary to be this angry? I haven't been gone for very long..."
"Where are you right now?" Elder Ji asked angrily. "The demon race has invaded the human realm! Did you know that?!"
"Hmm... I just found out too." Lin Nai replied, kicking the charred spider demon corpse at her feet. "So, the Yan Kingdom has also been invaded by the demons?"
"Nonsense." Old Ji said, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "What do you mean Yan Kingdom has also been invaded by the demon race? Where are you now, kid?"
Linnaeus: "Oh, I'm in the Kingdom of Jian."
Professor Ji: "???"
Linna: "Don't worry, I'll get back as soon as possible—but judging from the current situation, civilian shipping in Jian Kingdom should have already stopped operating. I'll try to get a plane and go back."
Professor Ji: "You..."
Lin Nai glanced at the spider demons crawling out from various dark corners and gutteres around her and said, "Alright, that's all for now. Looks like I'm still busy here. Another group of demons is about to surround me. I'll contact you later." With that, she hung up the phone.
