When Mr. Chen decided to take a good vacation and rest.

Eternal Day is still running steadily.

Although there are no abyss rifts or large-scale abyss invasions for the time being.

The Abyss believers were also cleared out on a large scale by Chen Sheng when he took possession of the boundary marker.

But it doesn't mean that Yongri can just sit back and relax.

Concerning the awakened and ordinary human crimes.

Yong Zhou can still be busy with this.

However, this level of busyness is just a piece of cake for Yong Zhou now.

As long as nothing related to the abyss occurs, Chen Sheng doesn't even need to let go of his perception, which can now easily cover half of the solar system.

Just leave everything to Yongzhao, who has now grown strong enough.

This is not only a trust, but also an exercise.

The world continues to run smoothly as usual.

It was just when Mr. Chen put away his perception and was busy teaching the students of Chenxi Academy.

On an island country.

The crisis emerged silently.

…………

Blue fluffy afro.

It is so eye-catching wherever it is.

However, Luke, who is very artistic, believes that the gazes from passers-by are just envy of him.

Find a bar and sit down.

Luke ordered a bottle of the country's specialty wine.

Take a sip and feel the cool wine and its silky smooth taste. The wine mixed with air rolls slightly on the tip of your tongue before entering your throat.

A gorgeous burst of aromas similar to melon, cantaloupe, and apple...

Luke had to admit.

Sake is, in some ways, surprisingly similar to white wine.

Given how picky he is.

I have to admit that it tastes pretty good.

He put down his glass and looked around. He was not too conspicuous here.

This is also the reason why he subconsciously chose this place.

Here, there are many people from obviously all over the world.

Although his blue afro is conspicuous, it doesn't seem that strange here.

Some people here are silent, while others are talking loudly.

Luke knew why these people came here.

Among them are tourists, journalists, internet celebrities, and agents from small countries.

All I can say is that the identities are so confusing that it’s hard to explain clearly.

Although more than half a year has passed since the Godzilla incident.

Although no paparazzi can completely avoid detection by radar, satellites, and infrared rays, no reporter can break through the sea blockade of the multinational aircraft carrier fleet, and no internet celebrity can sneak in from the land guarded by the joint army of various countries.

but……

The curiosity of people around the world is endless.

Even though more than half a year has passed since the Godzilla incident, most people have habitually returned to their daily lives.

However, the impact of that incident cannot be completely eliminated in just half a year.

This small island country.

Over the past six months, many people have continued to come.

They all wanted to know the details of the Godzilla incident.

Even though the core area cannot be approached due to the joint blockade of the four countries.

There are still people coming.

The continuous flow of people rushing here helped Japan's economy, which had been in a slump after the Godzilla incident due to massive changes in public opinion and officials.

Miraculously, the temperature gradually warmed up.

The sale of Godzilla dolls alone is enough to support a multi-billion dollar market.

Not to mention the additional economy brought by the many tourists from all over the world.

And Luke was among them.

It can also be said to be a relatively special one.

This can be seen from the easel and canvas he is carrying and the brush handle sticking out of his afro.

He is an eclectic painter.

To be precise, he is an eclectic, non-mainstream wandering painter.

His purpose of coming here is not exactly the same as those artists who come here to check in - he actually wants to pursue the extraordinary.

What he cares about.

These are pictures of tiankeng that occasionally circulate on the Internet.

Over the past six months, the intensity of the joint alert by the four countries has been reduced a lot, and occasionally some pictures of the areas they have blocked can be seen on the Internet.

Based on the pictures that occasionally circulate on the Internet, a small group of people who are still keen on pursuing the truth about Godzilla have made various speculations.

It can be determined eventually.

That was the place where Godzilla finally arrived in the news reports, and it was also the place where Japan once planned to discharge nuclear wastewater.

Now all that remains is a sinkhole filled with sea water.

The dark blue and black color leaves no doubt about its depth to anyone who sees it.

No one knows what happened there.

Luke didn't know either, but he felt that it was very likely related to the extraordinary.

Or it is most likely caused by a supernatural being.

I still remember it was more than a year ago, almost two years ago.

He had witnessed two extraordinary events.

The first was in the coniferous forests near the San Cristo Mountains outside the town of Taos.

One morning, he became very interested and packed up his tools, left Taos late at night, and painted in the coniferous forest near the San Cristo Mountains.

Since he was not allowed to approach the private estates there, he simply found a place outside the coniferous forest to paint.

Then, there were continuous explosions and the roar of some kind, like that of a wild beast.

The roar of that monster could never be made by any known creature. Just listening to it was enough to fill one with fear.

Then, there was silence.

He wanted to leave in panic, but he stood outside the dense forest and could not move his frightened feet.

Until dawn came, a golden pillar of light rose up into the sky, and infinite warmth suddenly surged into the heart, making people forget their fear.

Along with it came the monster's howl, and he could hear fear in that howl.

It was as if the monster knew that it was facing a god that it knew it could not defeat but could not escape from, and could only cry helplessly.

After that, he was also questioned by a mysterious official department, and the interrogation ended quickly because they really didn't know more details.

Luke had an extremely deep impression of this experience.

The second time was during a painting session in Taos.

He painted a vivid portrait of a passerby with a good temperament.

Then, it was said that because of the two words "Eternal Sun" on the painting, he was called over again not long after he returned home from the official special department.

He was interrogated for a long time before being released.

Even so, because he was involved in many extraordinary events, he was included in the supervision plan of the Abnormal Countermeasures Bureau for a long time.

It was only in recent times that their connection with the extraordinary was finally completely eliminated, their supervision of him was relaxed, and they even allowed him to enter and leave the country freely.

Both times involved extraordinary events.

As soon as Luke finished the supervision plan, he immediately decided to look for traces of the extraordinary.

Bring your own painting guys.

His first stop was Japan, the place where the Godzilla incident happened.

In this small town closest to the blockade.

He paused.

I looked around and saw all kinds of people drinking and discussing how to sneak into the official blockade.

Luke sipped the sake in his glass slowly.

Thinking about what to do next.

This is the closest inhabited area to the blockade line.

Here you can often hear discussions about sneaking into the blockade.

Bribe the four-nation soldiers on the blockade.

Take a chance and try to sneak past the blockade.

Various methods of discussion passed by Luke's ears.

However, most of them are not very practical, or have no specific action plans.

Obviously, what these people talked about in the bar was just empty talk, and no one would say anything practical here.

Opportunities are not always available.

He still has a lot of time to pursue the extraordinary, and also a lot of time to find a way to sneak into the blockade and see the sinkhole that is rumored to exist on the Internet.

Thinking, Luke looked at the scroll at his waist.

There is also a portrait he painted himself.

It was another portrait with the words Eternal Sun.

He had painted more than just a picture for that elegant Oriental man.

One of them was taken away by the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau as evidence, and he never told anyone about the existence of the other one.

His intuition told him.

This is the only thing on him that might be somehow related to the extraordinary, and it might help him at a critical moment.

If you really can't find anything extraordinary.

Luke thought that maybe he could display the painting outdoors, perhaps it would attract extraordinary people who would recognize the people and words in the painting.

Of course.

The most likely candidates are the departments of secular countries that are responsible for managing supernatural events.

so.

Luke doesn’t plan to display the portrait just yet.

At least it won't easily expose its existence.

Thinking of this, he took another sip of the wine in the glass.

After the bar reached its bottom, he got up and left the bar.

Next.

He planned to walk around the area near the blockade to familiarize himself with the general terrain.

Although he didn't intend to make the unwise move of breaking in or sneaking in.

But it's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the terrain.

What if it comes in handy someday?

While thinking about random things.

Luke slowly came to the edge of the town which had become bustling because of the Godzilla exploration incident.

He randomly chose a direction and walked all the way to a slightly higher place at the edge of the town.

Stand on a higher rock here.

You can see the deserted road extending into the distance under your feet.

Then you can vaguely see patrolling soldiers and a long line of checkpoints.

This is a stricter blockade.

Although at first glance there is no heavy firepower.

But there are large areas of empty ground nearby.

This means that anyone who intends to get close will have no cover to try to get close to.

If you want to get close to the checkpoint, you can see it clearly from a few hundred meters away.

It was obviously impossible to sneak in from this direction.

As for breaking in by force, it is even more impossible.

Although the four-nation joint aircraft carrier formation's presence in nearby waters has weakened, there is still a formation roaming nearby.

As long as you dare to break in.

They will face the firepower coverage from the aircraft carrier formation that will definitely arrive within 30 minutes.

And although this blockade line doesn't seem to have any heavy firepower stationed, who knows if there will be a main battle tank group parked on the other side of the blockade line that you can't get close to or see clearly! Watch this blockade line with your own eyes.

Only then did Luke realize how serious the attitude of the four countries that jointly blockaded this place was.

It seems that I can only try in another direction.

Tomorrow we will go to another blockade near the forest to take a look.

Thinking so.

Luke planned to go back home for the time being and rest for a while in the hotel where he was staying.

But before I could use my camera to record the surrounding scenery.

Gunshots were heard from a distance.

Luke was so scared that he shuddered subconsciously and immediately looked in the direction of the blockade line.

And the gunshot seemed like a signal.

The next moment there was a continuous hail of bullets.

They are densely packed together.

This sheer display of firepower was definitely not a drill.

Obviously, something went wrong in the direction of the blockade of the four-nation coalition army! Luke tried to look far away.

Also try to adjust the focus with your phone and camera.

But all we could see was the dust rising from the other side of the blockade line.

It was as if some big thing was turning over there.

A strong curiosity arises.

Luke wanted to go there very much at this moment.

But the sound of gunfire that never stopped made him hesitate.

It's obvious that there is a big monster there.

There was no sound after so many bullets were fired. If he went over there, he would probably die without knowing how.

It’s just that the extraordinary thing he wanted to pursue seemed to be right in front of him, which made him hesitate.

The next moment.

A loud explosion was heard from far away.

Flames rose in the dust.

This was followed by a series of explosions, and the firepower instantly escalated.

The shock wave tore through the dust for a moment.

Luke, who was trying to see what was happening at the blockade, suddenly widened his eyes.

Huge and long body.

A part of it was revealed at this moment.

Each section of it is like a caterpillar, showing off its presence.

Clearly, this is not a caterpillar.

There is no caterpillar in the world that is nearly a hundred meters long.

It has a ring-shaped body with randomly distributed barbs on its skin.

And the bloody mouth full of fangs at the end of the body makes people feel cold all over the moment they see it.

This image is very similar to the death worm in countless film and television fantasy works.

Luke couldn't help swallowing and stopped all thoughts of getting closer.

Fear filled his heart at this moment.

Any thoughts of pursuing transcendence vanished at this moment.

Although he had experienced extraordinary events before, he had never seen an extraordinary monster so clearly.

And when he saw it with his own eyes.

He understood one thing.

Sometimes, it is better to restrain your curiosity.

The countless bullets could only create sparks on the skin of the death worm.

The explosions only made the death worm shake, without leaving even a trace.

Faced with such a monster.

Keeping a distance is the best option.

That's what Luke thought, so he turned and ran without hesitation.

To speed up.

Except for a scroll of painting on his waist, he decisively discarded most of his luggage.

only……

It seemed like there was more life in his direction.

The monster that suddenly appeared and wreaked havoc within the blockade.

Suddenly, he also came towards Luke.

The huge noise made Luke subconsciously look back. When he found the death worm coming towards him, he wished he had another pair of legs.

What a pity.

There was a long, empty distance between him and the blockade.

It didn't seem like a long distance for the death worm.

Not long.

The loud noise of the ground being rubbed against and rocks being crushed as it moved was already very close.
