Just as people were still immersed in studying what the first batch of meteorites actually were, the second meteorite shower poured down like a surging torrent.
This time, the number of meteorites was far greater, leaving everyone speechless. Panic ensued as people frantically searched for shelter, fearing a potential impact from the meteorites.
Xu Anran, however, remained remarkably calm, for she had already known in her previous precognitive dream that three waves of meteor showers would follow one after another, each wave growing increasingly massive. Once all the meteor dust had settled, what was hidden within would be revealed.
Fortunately, the neighborhood where they now live was completely unaffected by the meteorite; the entire area remained intact, as if blessed by heaven.
This is why the area attracted the attention of the authorities, who subsequently built a security base there.
This was precisely the key reason why Xu Anran chose to settle here. At the same time, she also informed other passengers in the group about the location of the soon-to-be-built security base, urging everyone to act as soon as possible.
After all, the disaster that has struck cannot be avoided by individuals hiding in a corner. The best option is to use powerful weapons as a solid shield and stay in a safe base.
In a dimly lit room, several figures sat around a round table, intently enjoying a sumptuous meal.
Suddenly, the bald man looked up, his gaze falling directly on the man sitting in front of the computer wearing thick glasses, and asked in a low voice, "Did he send a message?"
The bespectacled man shook his head slightly and replied with a hint of helplessness, "Not yet. He has remained silent all this time and hasn't said a word."
Just then, a shrill laugh rang out. It came from the sexy woman next to them, who had long, cascading hair and a hot, alluring figure.
A smirk played on her lips as she said with obvious sarcasm, "Hmph! Didn't you used to brag about how amazing your skills were? You said you could easily track his location the moment he sent a message. But after all this time, you still haven't found anything? How disappointing!"
Faced with these accusations, the bespectacled man frowned, looking quite distressed and embarrassed.
He explained in a low voice, "I didn't expect this either... It seems he has some kind of protective measures or interference methods on his end, blocking out all the clues. I have to admit, that person's skills are indeed quite superb, which has brought great difficulties to my investigation."
Upon hearing this, the bald man turned to look at another man who was quietly eating—he was dressed in an exquisite suit, exuding a gentle and elegant demeanor.
The bald man asked softly, "Brother Zhao, what do you think we should do after we successfully find 'Old K'?" His words were full of respect and reliance on the man called "Brother Zhao".
Brother Zhao gently wiped his mouth, speaking with elegant composure: "That person is so powerful, seemingly omniscient. We've found his trail and are trying to figure out his background. If his strength is far beyond our imagination, then we might as well cooperate with him; however... if we find that his abilities are not enough to pose a threat to us, then we'll capture him!"
Of the four, Brother Zhao and the man with glasses were originally a group. In fact, they weren't members of the mutual aid society; they had met the bald man and the woman by chance in this world. It was through them that Brother Xue learned of the mutual aid society and Old K's existence. They decided to search for this mysterious figure.
Looking back, when Xu Anran and Fan Yunfei parted ways, Fan Yunfei handed Xu Anran a small, exquisite USB drive. It turned out that this USB drive contained an anti-hacking tracking system he had meticulously developed.
Simply plug it into your computer or mobile phone, and you can effectively resist being tracked by others.
Fortunately, Xu Anran remembered this, and from then on, whenever she needed to use the internet, she would first insert that USB drive into her device. Otherwise, she would probably be running for her life right now, desperately trying to evade those people's pursuit.
Not long after, the third meteor shower finally stopped, but the impact of this meteorite impact was extremely serious.
Due to the massive meteorite impact, hospitals are now overflowing with people, with a constant stream of injured individuals. Furthermore, many families have suffered devastating losses, their homes completely destroyed, leaving people displaced and plunged into despair.
Faced with such a tragic situation, the government acted swiftly, actively organizing all available resources to carry out emergency rescue work.
Amid the tense and busy rescue operation, a phenomenon caught the attention of the personnel responsible for guarding the meteorites: the surfaces of those meteorites, which were originally incredibly hard, were gradually melting! Upon noticing this anomaly, they did not dare to delay and immediately reported the news to their superiors.
Upon learning of this crucial information, researchers and fully armed troops rushed to the various meteorite locations.
However, something unexpected happened—during this time, all the meteorites had completely melted away.
Immediately afterwards, numerous mysterious creatures of varying sizes and resembling beetles emerged from within each meteorite. As soon as they appeared, they launched a fierce attack on their surroundings without hesitation, baring their fangs and tearing apart all life around them.
In the blink of an eye, everyone involved in the rescue was devoured by the terrifying beetle creatures.
A large number of fully armed personnel quickly arrived at the scene, gripping their cold guns, aiming at the enormous insects, and pulling the triggers without hesitation.
However, the insects' exoskeletons were like impregnable fortresses; bullets struck them and bounced off with a crisp impact, unable to penetrate their incredibly hard bodies.
Seeing that conventional weapons were ineffective, the command center decisively issued an order to bring in more powerful artillery shells. With a series of deafening roars, the shells streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing heavily into the swarm of insects.
Finally, under the intense bombardment, some insects succumbed and were blasted to pieces. But a number of tenacious insects survived.
Surprisingly, these insects even had wings! When they realized they couldn't withstand the shells, they quickly flapped their wings and took flight, fleeing the battlefield at an astonishing speed. They scattered like a whirlwind, heading towards residential areas, the wilderness, and every corner of the land.
Some insects, upon seeing humans, pounce like hungry tigers, opening their gaping maws to devour them whole; while others rest quietly in one place, motionless, seemingly observing everything around them silently, sending chills down one's spine.
