A clear sky with a few white clouds drifting leisurely in the air.
Lin Qianqian and several mall employees were standing on the roof of a five-story building in the town, except for Jiang Shuran, who was not there.
She was in a building on the edge of town, watching the situation outside on television.
The building's exterior walls were covered with numerous protective arrays, and the temporary hospital was set up there. Jian Yi and Jian Er stayed there as guards.
There are hundreds of volunteer doctors and nurses in that building. When the wounded are sent here for treatment, they will be sent here. Jiang Shuran is the highest decision-maker of this temporary hospital.
Yunze's gaze was fixed on one spot. When the others saw Yunze like this, they also looked in that direction, and the cameras were also pointed in that direction.
At the same time, live broadcasts officially began on all television channels in Yan and on domestic and international platforms.
A black crack, four or five meters long and thirty or forty centimeters wide, suddenly appeared on the roof of a building not far from where Lin Qianqian and the others were.
It was a residential building, seven or eight stories high, and now there was no one left in it.
This scene was seen by billions of people around the world through the camera lens.
Only a few people had seen the spatial rift before; for the others, this was the first time they had witnessed this bizarre scene.
Just then, Chu Zhou issued an order via walkie-talkie: "Activate the protective barrier."
"Yes, activate the protective barrier immediately." The reply from the walkie-talkie had barely finished when...
Four light blue light screens were erected around the town, with electric lights flashing on them.
The light curtain, which formed a square around the town and reached a height of a kilometer, also enclosed the crack.
This is a protective barrier that Chu Zhou improved by studying the protective shield of the Borui Continent and combining it with array formations.
Once the barrier was formed, the town was completely isolated from the outside world, unless one flew over the barrier's light curtain, which was a thousand meters high.
Of course, the live broadcast signal is unrestricted, since the satellite broadcasting is in space and the barrier cannot reach it.
As soon as the barrier stabilized, the crack in the sky visibly widened, and then wisps of white smoke emerged from it.
Lin Qianqian's consciousness approached the white smoke, and her eyes widened suddenly.
It's actually smoke made of spiritual energy. What kind of world is on the other side?
Just then, Lin Qianqian faintly heard a cry for help coming from the crack, "Help me, someone please help me..."
The voice was in a language she had never heard before, but no sound came from the multi-ethnic translator pressed against her ear.
However, she was certain that she was not hallucinating; there really were creatures crying for help!
"Did you hear anything?"
Lin Qianqian's question suddenly came from the heavy and quiet rooftop, and everyone turned to look at her.
"To be precise, there were sounds coming from that spatial rift. Did you hear them?"
The others shook their heads, but Yunze stared at the crack again for a long time before answering, "It sounds like a cry for help!"
Lin Qianqian turned around and stared at his perfect profile, saying with some delight, "You really can hear me."
"It's not about hearing, it's about feeling."
"Me too! It feels like there are living beings on the other side of the crack calling for our help!"
"Forget about the people calling for help, let's take care of ourselves first, they're coming!"
Luo Zexuan's anxious voice came, and at the same time, the spatial rift suddenly expanded to seven or eight meters wide and two or three meters high.
Then the crack opened and closed, as if it were preparing to spit something out.
After a brief yet seemingly endless minute, a group of white creatures suddenly burst out of the crack.
Upon closer inspection, they were identified as white, jellyfish-like creatures.
Why do we say they are similar?
Because they have an extra 20-30 centimeters long antenna on their heads, and a tail that is 7-8 centimeters thick, of varying lengths, and covered with downy hair.
Moreover, these white "jellyfish" are no longer floating in the water, but rather floating in the air.
After these jellyfish appeared in this world, they first floated in the air, and then their tentacles on their heads kept twitching, as if they were searching for some kind of signal.
Then they separated and rushed toward some buildings on the ground in all directions.
Inside those buildings, squads of fully equipped and ready-to-go troops were hidden.
The army on the ground, seeing the monsters charging towards them from the cracks, naturally wouldn't surrender without a fight.
With the command of the officer in charge, "Fire!", the battle officially began.
A hail of bullets flew toward the white "jellyfish," but unexpectedly, most of the bullets bounced off the "jellyfish."
Only a few bullets left shallow bullet marks on the "jellyfish".
As the jellyfish rushed towards them, the soldiers' weapons did little to harm them, and everyone became anxious.
But the situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to think. The "jellyfish" was already lashing out at the soldiers with its tail.
"Prepare for close combat!" This order was given by many officers in the unit.
So the well-trained soldiers drew the sabers they had on their waists.
When the jellyfish's tail clashed with the saber, it produced a clanging sound, as if metal were striking metal; their tails were as hard as iron.
Moreover, the tail lashes out very quickly and with great force, sending many soldiers flying and causing them to fall to the ground with considerable injuries.
Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze stood on high ground, their divine senses spreading out, and the entire town was under their surveillance, so they naturally saw this scene as well.
Wen Mingyue, standing beside Lin Qianqian, was getting anxious: "What should we do? Our troops have already suffered casualties at the very beginning. What kind of monsters are these? Why can't the bullets penetrate them?"
Lin Qianqian asked Yunze, "Do you recognize this creature?"
Yunze shook his head; he didn't know him either.
"What should we do then?" Luo Zexuan asked anxiously.
"They're just a bunch of lowly soldiers leading the charge, yet they're so formidable."
"I'll go get one and analyze it immediately to find its weaknesses as soon as possible," Chu Zhou said, and then tried to fly off on his sword.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zexuan thought it was a feasible idea, so he pulled Zhang Laodao along to prepare to help.
"Wait a minute," Yunze stopped them.
"Most things in the world are governed by the five elements, which interact in a cycle of mutual generation and restraint. Since metal cannot overcome metal, let's try fire and water."
Chu Zhou thought it made sense, so he took out his walkie-talkie and contacted the command center.
"Try fire, water spray, and electric shock."
"receive!"
Soon enough, flamethrowers were used to spray jets of fire at the "jellyfish".
But it was no use; the jellyfish was not afraid of fire and didn't even get burned.
Then, fire hoses were pulled out of the house one by one.
Streams of water sprayed towards the "jellyfish" in the low sky.
The screams of "Whoa!" echoed throughout the room.
When these jellyfish saw the spraying water, they scattered in fear, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
Those that were a little slow to escape were hit squarely by the high-pressure water gun, and the water was instantly absorbed by the "jellyfish" upon landing on it.
Then, one by one, the white jellyfish rapidly swelled up, their bodies became translucent and heavy, and they could no longer float, falling to the ground.
Some fell to the ground and, like crystal tofu, broke into seven or eight pieces.
Some were lucky enough to fall to the ground without breaking, but they remained motionless, their fate unknown.
