Yang Shen didn't answer directly, but asked again, "What are the characteristics of the mysterious flying palaces you've heard about?"
"They run rampant and devour people everywhere!"
Huang Xue only said eight words.
"Eating people everywhere?" Yang Shen exclaimed in surprise.
“That’s right. According to the information I’ve received, that flying palace is like a bottomless pit, capable of swallowing up any number of people, and it’s impossible to breach it.”
Huang Xue said, "Last night, Jiang City detonated a nuclear bomb to deal with that flying palace."
"What?"
Yang Shen was truly taken aback. Did the flying palace really need to be destroyed by a nuclear explosion?
"And then?" he asked.
"The flying palace was blown apart and crashed in Jiang City, but the terrifying heat of the nuclear explosion did not melt it at all," Huang Xue said solemnly.
Yang Shen gasped.
What terrifying level of defense it must possess to withstand the extreme temperatures at the center of a nuclear explosion!
Fortunately, he didn't impulsively confront those two flying palaces head-on, otherwise he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Meanwhile, about four thousand meters away from this city wall, on the outskirts of what used to be a mirage, there was a small stone temple that resembled a local earth god temple.
A spatial vortex appeared silently in front of the small statue's brow.
The spatial vortex grew larger and larger, eventually transforming into a massive spatial vortex four or five meters in size.
The next moment, many figures rushed out from inside, both men and women.
Surprisingly, the weakest of these people were all level six ability users, and there were even level seven ones.
"We escaped..."
"Finally escaped..."
Everyone was overjoyed.
However, when they saw the small earth god statue behind them, they all trembled and hurriedly turned and ran away, not daring to linger for even a moment.
After everyone left, the spatial vortex trembled again, and an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl fell out of it.
The girl was tall, slender, and beautiful. She held a small scalpel in her right hand. She was momentarily stunned, then exclaimed with delight, "I escaped?"
Then she saw the earth god temple and the small statue behind her. Her expression changed slightly, and like the others before her, she turned and ran.
As she ran, the girl tried to determine her direction: "Where am I? Am I still within Haishi City? How much time has passed? Mom, Dad, and Brother, are you still alive?"
She moved very fast, like a drifting catkin, and as she walked, she seemed to blend into the space and become isolated from the world around her.
"Awooo..."
Infected individuals would rush past her from time to time, but the girl would simply wave her small scalpel, and those infected individuals would be dismembered into dozens of pieces by the invisible blade.
The strangest thing is that even after being dismembered, the infected people were still alive, and they didn't even bleed.
"It seems like we're still in a mirage, and the mirage safe zone is being hit by an infection wave."
The girl saw the massive, towering city walls in the distance, her expression turning cold. She continued hurrying towards them without slowing down: "But what does that have to do with me? I need to find my mom, dad, and brother first..."
"Chen Yaotie, the day I return will be the day you die!"
...
"That flying palace was shot down. Were the people inside rescued?"
On the city wall, Yang Shen pressed for an answer.
"No, there's no one inside, not even the creature that controls the flying palace."
Huang Xue said solemnly, "It's as if the flying palace itself is in motion."
Yang Shen: "How is that possible? Perhaps the high temperature of the nuclear explosion vaporized the life forms inside the flying palace?"
"Perhaps," Huang Xue said. "I only learned about it through a satellite phone; I didn't see it with my own eyes."
"The satellite phone still works?"
"able."
"Could you give me a batch of satellite phones?" Yang Shen said. "I can trade them for something."
"Unfortunately, I only have one of these. Chen Yaotie should have more, but his manor was completely destroyed," Huang Xue said, shaking her head.
Yang Shen felt a little regretful, but he didn't insist.
"Can you tell me about the two flying palaces you know?" Huang Xue asked.
"I encountered it in Heyang County, but luckily I escaped and didn't run into it head-on," Yang Shen replied perfunctorily, then asked, "What did you mean by the source of the apocalypse you mentioned before?"
Did they narrowly escape?
Huang Xue's eyes flashed, but she didn't ask any further questions: "Before the apocalypse, did you know that scientists discovered the laws of space and opened a spatial passage over the Pacific Ocean?"
"It was publicized all over the world at the time, and I estimate that there were very few people who didn't know about it," Yang Shen said.
"Do you know where the spatial passage leads?"
"Do you know?" Yang Shen asked in surprise.
Huang Xue thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning of the apocalypse, an expedition team entered that space passage, but only one person escaped and came back, saying that there was another world behind the space passage."
"Another world?" Yang Shen exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, another world. That world, like Blue Star, was also infected by the virus. Infected creatures are everywhere. The virus on our Blue Star spread from that world,” Huang Xue said.
Yang Shen was taken aback: "You mean, that world was also a victim, and not the one that introduced the virus into our planet?"
"That should be the case, but of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the virus originated from that world."
Huang Xue paused for a moment, then said, "But I don't think things are that simple. I've wondered if it's possible that the virus in that world was also spread from other worlds?"
"This idea is terrifying!" Yang Shen frowned. "What kind of virus can spread between two worlds?"
