Chapter 189 Zhou Tian is coming
Communication ended.
I gripped the mirror tightly and weighed the pros and cons in my mind, but after a preliminary assessment, I decided that I could afford the price.
The Secret Garden Association was extremely efficient. In less than half a day, Guide 07 arrived to connect with them.
As an advance project, I provided the Secret Garden Society with some of my insights and specific feelings about controlling God’s authority.
The rest of the time is still spent on educating and training gang members.
Within two weeks, I could vaguely sense that among those unfamiliar shelters and refugee groups in the distance, faint prayers directed to "Lord Starry Sky" began to appear sporadically and then gradually increased.
Although most of them are still tentative attempts with half faith or random grasping in desperate situations, the spiritual power that has gathered together has formed a trickle that cannot be ignored, continuously nourishing my spirit and strengthening my authority.
During this period, I participated in several salons and took on some not-so-difficult commissions, which further strengthened my strength.
However, even as this power grows, a deeper and more disturbing change is quietly taking place at the foundation of the world.
I can feel that the footsteps of reincarnation are getting closer and closer.
At first, there were only sporadic reports: search teams returned complaining that the mutated vines west of the city had grown several meters overnight, becoming even more bloodthirsty and frenzied; and the guards claimed to have heard a dull humming noise, unprecedented in the night, coming from deep underground.
I remembered the inexplicable earthquake that occurred when I left Xinyan City.
Now that I think about it, since that time, reincarnation has been progressing faster than before, but it has become more frequent recently.
These changes are no longer isolated events.
The red mist faded a lot at some point, and the sky often took on a sickly, dim yellow color like diluted blood, and the sunlight became weaker and powerless.
The originally relatively stable climate began to get out of control. Suddenly, corrosive acid rain fell without warning, and suddenly, dry winds carrying sand and unknown spores blew up, and visibility was often less than a few meters.
Even Tiannan City, which has always had the lowest frequency of monster activity, began to show abnormalities.
Some never-before-seen mutant creatures with more twisted shapes and more bizarre abilities began to emerge from the deepest part of the ruins and from the cracks in the collapsed subway tunnels. They did not seem to be born from ordinary pollution, but rather awakened from a long sleep by some deeper fear or restlessness.
Bai Zang's expression was more serious than ever. He pointed to the hand-drawn map on the table, which marked many newly emerged dangerous areas.
"Something's not right. There are more and more ghosts outside, and the weather is getting weirder. The risks for our brothers to go out for supplies and hunt have increased a lot, and casualties are starting to occur."
He paused, looking at me. "But living off one's resources will lead to death even faster. Today, I plan to personally lead a team of skilled personnel to the small supermarket outpost to the north that we marked earlier but haven't had time to clean out yet. We'll try to get as much storable food as possible. You... stay home."
I nodded. "Be careful. If you feel something is wrong, retreat immediately. Supplies are secondary."
"Um."
Bai Zang set off with a ten-man elite squad. I remained at the base, but continued to monitor the chaotic fluctuations outside through the scattered mirror fragments.
Theoretically, now as long as there is a mirror reflection, I can see the nearby reflection.
And because I had received the divine descent ceremony of Gali and had some connection with Gali, I could feel some of Gali's conditions.
He is about to wake up.
About two hours later, the believers who were connected through faith suddenly burst into prayers of extreme fear and despair!
Not good!
I stood up suddenly and rushed to the window.
In the distant sky to the north of the stronghold, a thick, rolling purple-black thundercloud had gathered at some point in time.
There was no normal lightning in the clouds, but a kind of twisted, strange electric snake like dark thorns that kept striking down.
The thunder was so dull that it sounded like the howling of a giant beast, rather than a natural roar!
My heart sank. It was a celestial phenomenon I had never seen before. Changes in celestial phenomena usually indicate that something big is happening.
Considering the recent strange phenomena and the information received from the Secret Garden, we should be at a relatively dangerous point recently.
Without any hesitation, I instantly locked onto the center coordinates of the terrifying thundercloud, and with a flash of my figure, I used the mirror to jump directly!
——Snap!
The moment I jumped out of the mirror, it shattered with a bang. The violent energy turbulence almost made me lose my balance. The scene before me was like hell!
The earth was turned over by an invisible plow, covered with deep gullies and scorched pits. The already crumbling concrete buildings were instantly reduced to ruins.
The remaining concrete pillars and twisted metal frames were covered with a layer of black mushrooms that were growing and rapidly charring!
Bai Zang and his team were trapped in a relatively low-lying area, in a state of disarray. Three men had already collapsed, their lives uncertain. The rest desperately held on to whatever they could, using tattered blast shields and even their own bodies to fend off the dark electric snakes that rained down from the sky and the mycelium that continuously spread from the ground.
Bai Zang roared, and relying on the physical strength that evolved later, he withstood an electric snake that was striking the wounded. However, he was blown back, his cuticle was charred and shattered, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.
His eyes were filled with anger and despair when faced with the incomprehensible and irresistible forces of nature.
"Find cover! Don't resist!" he roared, but in this indiscriminately attacked death zone, cover seemed so ridiculous.
At this moment, another exceptionally thick dark electric snake, like a spear of judgment, blasted straight towards the several team members who were gathered together trying to protect the wounded! Bai Zang's eyes were bloodshot, but it was too late to rescue!
At the critical moment!
I suddenly raised my hand, summoned a mirror, forcibly packed them up and took them to the world in the mirror, then quickly escaped.
In the mirror world, everyone saw "Lord Xingqiong" again.
The surviving team members collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, their faces filled with fear and disbelief. Bai Zang propped himself up on his knees. Facing "Starry Sky Lord" directly, he didn't dare look at me, seated above the temple. His expression was extremely complex: gratitude, shock, and an indescribable, almost superstitious awe.
"Thank you, Mr. Xingqiong, for your help again..."
Bai Zang lowered his head with some trembling, while the other members had already knelt down to thank the gods for saving their lives.
"God will not abandon any believer. Go back." I nodded imperceptibly, sent them back to the base, and then took advantage of the illusion while everyone was still unawares to return to my office, as if I had been here all the time.
