The siren that sounded at midnight made it difficult for people to sleep. Living in Shanghai, Lin Yao was not worried about his own safety, but he was worried about his family.
He was considered a smart person, so he naturally understood that the appearance of the fifth spirit energy tide would affect not just a single area on the Blue Planet but the entire planet.
Fearing that something would happen to his family, he called them immediately. However, Lin Yao's expression turned ugly when he heard a dead tone after several buzzing sounds. The call did not go through at all.
'Is the spirit energy disrupting the communication? '
Lin Yao felt a little afraid when this thought popped up in his mind.
He was a little afraid that his worries would come true. Most of the technological weapons in the 21st century relied on information manipulation, and a huge country also needed to maintain long-distance communication.
Originally, the obstacles on the roads between various cities had led to the rise of local protectionism in China, and there was a trend of division. Once communication was cut off, high-tech weapons would not be able to provide support to various places in time. Coupled with the strange monsters entrenched in various roads, China might really split up in a short time.
Fortunately, Lin Yao's worries did not come true. Although the first call was a dead tone, the communication was finally connected after dialing twice.
However, before Lin Yao could ask about the situation after the call was connected, the person on the other end of the line asked worriedly.
"Ah Yao, how are you doing in Shanghai?"
"I'm fine here. It's very noisy. You've also sounded the alarm on your side. What level is it?"
"… Level three, but don't worry about us. We've been approached by a safe place. You must take good care of yourself. We'll be fine …"
After exchanging a few words with each other and making sure that they were safe, Lin Yao hung up the phone. However, Lin Yao did not relax after the call. Instead, he frowned. He realized that the situation outside was more serious than he had thought. Ninghai City had actually sounded a level three alarm. This meant that there was military control, a curfew, and people were not allowed to travel freely. It was second only to a level four war warning, and this was only the first day of the fifth spirit energy tide.
The fourth spirit energy tide had lasted for nine months, and this time, it might last as long as a year. Such a serious situation made Lin Yao feel the urge to go home.
'No, I have to go home, or at least bring my parents here. '
"Yan Yu'er, help me book train tickets for tomorrow afternoon. We'll return to Ninghai after the competition."
At that moment, Lin Yao finally understood why everyone was squeezing into big cities. Obviously, it was much safer here than in small cities.
He also understood why every small city, regardless of whether it was the rich or the government officials, would offer such a high price to recruit geniuses. During normal times, it might not be obvious, but during times of war, every additional expert would increase the security of every major city.
Lin Yao did not feel good about being worried. In the end, he suppressed his sadness and went to sleep, struggling to stay awake until the next day.
However, when Qin Ya arrived the next morning, she brought him another piece of bad news.
"What did you say? The road is broken?"
Qin Ya was not frightened by Lin Yao's ugly expression. Instead, she quickly shared the information she had gathered.
"You know, the wilderness isn't the world of humans. There are freaks everywhere. In the past, the roads were maintained by the railway officers and soldiers with all their might. However, the spirit energy tide this time has made many freaks go crazy. Some mystic realms and alternate world passages have appeared due to the surge in spirit energy. Even the area of China has expanded due to the Spirit Energy Revival. All these changes are not friendly to the roads in China. Many roads in China have been blocked, and the same is true for the roads leading to Ninghai City. "
Phew, phew, phew …
Lin Yao calmed down after taking a few deep breaths. "Can you find out when the road will be reconnected?"
"I'm not sure. The official website only says not to panic. The major legions are trying to restore traffic."
After a moment of silence, Lin Yao said directly, "Help me check if the officers and soldiers who opened up the road are recruiting."
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to do my part for the country. Don't worry. I will only join temporarily, and I will only act with the battle team. I won't act rashly."
Lin Yao was worried about his parents and relatives, so he wanted to fly home immediately. However, he knew the dangers of the wilderness, so he did not act rashly.
Knowing that Lin Yao was going to act with the battle team, Qin Ya did not stop him. She was also worried about her relatives. "I will help you check."
While the two of them were talking, Yan Yu 'er raised her hand slightly and asked, "Are we going to continue with the battle with King Kong Yuan Hao?"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Lin Yao and Qin Ya answered Yan Yu 'er's question together. After glancing at each other, Qin Ya explained.
"It is very chaotic everywhere now. Big cities are more secure than small cities. However, as long as the city is not destroyed, some areas in small cities are actually safer than ordinary areas in big cities. For Mr. Lin Yao, who can't go back, it is the best choice for his parents to go to those areas to receive protection."
As soon as Qin Ya finished speaking, Lin Yao continued.
"The safe areas of small cities can only shelter a limited number of people. Besides, even if it is a safe area, there is a difference in whether it is close to the core or not. I want my parents to receive the best protection, so I can only continue to move forward."
Everyone had a social class. In times of crisis, the ones who survived to the end were the ones with power, money, or valuable talents.
For Lin Yao, he had no money or power now, but he had enough potential. He couldn't go back. If he wanted to protect his parents' safety, he needed to climb higher on the Hidden Dragons List.
He believed that as long as he entered the top ranks of the Hidden Dragons List, the leaders of Ninghai City would make arrangements for his parents.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yao decided that this battle had to be carried out and he had to win it cleanly.
'If I am strong enough, I can even get the battle team to open up the road to Ninghai City first.'
After making up his mind, Lin Yao carefully watched the video of Golden Light Yuan Hao\'s battle.
However, after watching it several times, Lin Yao realized that it did not make much difference whether he knew about it or not.
This person followed the Vajra Buddhist path of fighting. His basic skills were extremely solid, and he had almost no weaknesses. If Lin Yao wanted to deal with him, he could only defeat him with brute force.
In the end, Lin Yao simply stopped looking at him and continued to study Heaven and Earth Manifestation. This was something that Lin Yao had been practicing hard recently.
Lin Yao spent the morning studying the information passed down by the top management of the Heaven and Earth Dojo and inquiring about things that he did not understand.
Thanks to his photographic memory and the occasional flash of inspiration, although the morning was not long, Lin Yao had already read and understood all the information passed down by the Heaven and Earth Dojo. The price he had to pay was that his head was groggy at about 10 o 'clock in the afternoon.
After consuming a bottle of Moon Essence and letting the cool moonlight nourish his spirit, Lin Yao took a car to the martial arts arena of the University of Monster Science and Technology.
Along the way, Lin Yao discovered that Shanghai had not been affected by the alarm last night during the day. People did not feel much danger when walking around. The entire Shanghai was also bustling and lively, as if the influence of the spirit energy tide did not exist.
However, Lin Yao knew that this was an illusion. Beside him, Yan Yu 'er, Qin Xue, and the other girls were browsing the information on the Internet on their tablets. Their voices were very soft, so they could hardly disturb Lin Yao, who was resting with his eyes closed.
However, with the help of the 3D Illusion, which had reached the second level of electromagnetic sensing, Lin Yao could clearly see the scenes of wailing and suffering on the tablets of the girls.
China was very big, and almost all the cities had been harassed and attacked by freaks last night. There were even Gates of Alternate Worlds or mystic realms that appeared directly in the cities. Those cities did not have the defensive capabilities of Shanghai, and many small cities had been razed to the ground.
Houses had collapsed, rivers had stopped flowing, mountains had appeared out of thin air, and all kinds of strange scenes had appeared in China. However, among these fantastical scenes, scenes of human families being destroyed and people dying also appeared from time to time.
In fact, several cities had completely fallen into the enemy's hands!
The fallen city was like hell. Within the city, there were collapsed buildings everywhere, the ground was covered in blood, and there were endless corpses.
In fact, the people in one city seemed to have been affected by something. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, forming a strange mountain of corpses. The people on the mountain of corpses were all dead, but their eyes were wide open, as if they were looking at something.
