When the 13th beam of light rose, Xu Zhi, who had some understanding of the formation, already knew that this was the final moment.
But the imagined earthquake did not happen. Everything was unexpectedly calm. Even the animals that had been restless and crazy for days became quiet. No, that may not be called quiet. It’s just that they felt a certain breath at this moment, which made them dare not make any sound.
The only thing that has changed significantly is the Federation's "Sun".
Ever since the formation lit up, the Federation's sun had turned blood-red, and the light it emitted seemed to contain some kind of pollution. But at this moment, the blood-red sun no longer existed, leaving only a pure black sun hanging in the sky with strong light emitting from its edges. It was like a black eye weeping blood, with a large amount of black liquid flowing out of it and pouring down into the mortal world.
This scene made Xu Zhi feel particularly familiar. Soon, she remembered that it was at the very beginning, when she had just picked up the game console. The interface when the game was loaded was the scene in front of her.
Exactly the same.
Xu Zhi gritted his teeth slightly. This certainly couldn't be a coincidence. The game console knew from the beginning that such a day would appear, but the narrator often said that he couldn't predict it. So that picture should be a guess made after knowing certain things?
In other words, the game consoles at that time believed that this day would come sooner or later depending on the development of things.
This made Xu Zhi feel like she was being led by the nose. The high-ranking figures set up the chess game, and she was just a passive chess piece in the game. She didn't like it very much.
At this point, apart from surviving the big man's chess game, Xu Zhi just wanted to know what the purpose of this game was and whether she had any way to overturn the chessboard.
Xu Zhi thought a lot, but only two minutes passed.
However, in just these two minutes, the people of the Federation were already in dire straits and in despair.
Since the 13th beam of light lit up, a black sun appeared in the sky. Bruise like low platelet count began to appear on the skin of those who remained in the Federation and could not enter Cloud City. The skin and mucous membranes began to bleed, and even the gums and nostrils began to bleed slightly.
The current symptoms are still mild and only occur in a small number of people, but as time goes by, more and more federal officials are experiencing the same symptoms.
Some people even discovered that when he accidentally got a wound on his body, the blood from the wound did not fall down due to gravity as usual, but floated into the sky.
This bizarre scene was both horrifying and terrifying. Countless federal citizens tried to seek help from the government, but to this day, the federal government is no longer able to help its people, and order has collapsed at this moment.
However, the collapse of order did not lead to more violent incidents, because at this moment every citizen in the federation was horrified by the abnormalities happening to themselves. After hearing that the wounds would not heal after being broken, they did not dare to conflict with others easily. Everyone could only hide carefully at home and in the soft quilts. But even so, the bloodstains on their bodies were getting more and more serious.
The gums, nostrils, ears, and even the eyes began to become congested and bleed. Even if you didn't touch them, the skin on your body would suddenly fall off, and the fragile flesh would be exposed to the air. Fresh blood would be squeezed out and flow into the air, rising to the location of the black sun.
And all this happened in just half an hour.
The only good news is probably that most of those who are showing symptoms now are ordinary people, while extraordinary people seem to have stronger resistance, and the symptoms come later and are milder.
But this does not mean that the extraordinary people are fine. They can feel the surge of extraordinary energy in the air better than ordinary people, so they also discovered a despairing fact: the extraordinary energy in the air of the Federation, which was already thin, was completely drained the moment the sun turned black.
This means that the only extraordinary energy they can use is the reserves in their bodies and their core.
At the moment, they are resisting the erosion of the formation by activating the extraordinary energy in their bodies, but this consumes a lot of energy and they cannot last for too long. When the energy is exhausted, they will suffer the same fate as ordinary people.
Under the shining of the black sun, the federal land is like a furnace of flesh and blood. Any living creature in it will be constantly refined by it. Life, flesh and blood, and even souls will all become nutrients and materials for the black sun.
The only exception, Yuncheng, is not safe at the moment.
Just a few minutes after the black sun appeared, Xu Zhi sensed an unusual aura coming from the crack.
Thinking of the narrator's suggestion, Xu Zhi immediately ordered the little alien to shrink its body and open the crack without any hesitation.
It's not that the little alien species can't be reduced in size due to its current huge size, but it needs to maintain its original size in order to exert its full strength to safely guard the crack. Now that it doesn't need to do that, it can naturally shrink.
So the little alien, who didn't understand what was happening, happily shrank its body to its previous size, jumped onto Xu Zhi's shoulder after a long time, rubbed her cheek affectionately, and was then led back by the girl to a slightly farther distance from the crack.
The moment the "ban" of the small alien species dissipated, the crack instantly seemed to turn from a dead object into a living thing. The originally small crack seemed to be twisted and twitching as if it was torn by something. An ominous aura spread from the crack. Xu Zhi picked up the mobile phone that Zhong Lingfan had handed her and sent a warning message to the other party.
Since resuming contact with the Federation, Cloud City has also rebuilt its own communication system.
Shortly after Xu Zhi sent the message, a black claw suddenly appeared at the twisting and twitching crack. The claw was sharp and slender, like a pair of scissors blades spliced together. It stretched out easily from the midnight, then grabbed the edge of the crack and gently scratched it with its fingertips, and the crack was easily cut into a larger hole like cloth.
Then, another huge claw stretched out from it, but from its appearance, it was not the same monster as the "scissors".
This claw was just the beginning. After it appeared, more and more strange-shaped things, whose identities could not even be identified, began to cling to the cracks. They seemed to be fighting and crowding, eager to get out.
So under their "concerted efforts", the cracks opened wider and wider.
Until a certain moment, its crack had grown so big that it was almost as big as the small alien species that had once imprisoned it, as if a bottomless abyss had opened up in the sky, and deep black and ominous aura flowed out from this strange crack. Countless "hands" that were originally clinging to the edge of the crack suddenly sensed something and retracted into the crack, as if making way for someone.
