Ling Jiu did not dare to delay. He immediately left Whitehole 2 with Bai Ya, went to Whitehole 2, and then passed through the wormhole to return to Ganymede.
Finally, they returned to Europa through the wormhole, and then returned to Mars. In just a few days, Mars had undergone earth-shattering changes.
With the combined infusion of the six wormholes, the low-altitude and low-terrain places on the surface of Mars, such as canyons, cracks, impact craters, and so on, were completely submerged and filled with seawater, forming lakes and rivers.
Standing above Mars, one could easily see the six "Yellow Rivers" wrapped in countless silt like six angry dragons, rushing and roaring on the yellow land, and then dispersing into countless small tributaries and small rivers, pouring into every corner of the Martian land.
The displacement of the six wormholes was amazing, and a massive amount of seawater was being slapped onto Mars every moment.
At this rate, in just a few years, the surface of Mars would have countless lakes, rivers, and eventually oceans like those on Earth.
It could be said that Mars had indeed changed a lot in just a few days. However, at this moment, Ling Jiu and Bai Ya were not in the mood to pay attention to Mars. Their minds had long flown to Earth.
But instead of rushing back to Earth, they teleported back to the Ares Plain.
Before leaving Mars, the two had each left their duplicates behind, responsible for self-cultivation while looking after Wukong. The duplicates left here were the best channel to understand the situation.
But what Ling Jiu and Bai Ya never expected was that all the duplicates had left, and the Ares Plain was empty.
"Back to the matriculation camp!"
The two returned to the matriculation camp and found that it was also empty. All the trainees were not there.
Seeing this, Ling Jiu knew that the situation was not good.
Generally speaking, the trainees of the matriculation camp were forbidden from returning to Earth. Now, all of them had gone back. One could imagine how bad the situation was.
The two hurried through the wormhole to return to the South Pole, and then immediately deactivated the duplicates.
In an instant, a massive amount of memories came back, and the two's expressions changed.
"The situation has gotten so bad?"
Ling Jiu and Bai Ya looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
It all started three days ago.
Three days ago, a terrifying dimensional fissure suddenly split open in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, triggering a terrifying 8.8 earthquake and eventually a super tsunami.
Millions of people lost their lives in the coastal countries and base cities around the Pacific Ocean.
However, this was not the end. The real disaster was yet to come. The earthquake and tsunami had yet to end. Countless terrifying beasts surged out of the spatial cracks, sweeping across the entire Pacific Ocean and eventually attacking the coastal cities of the Pacific.
According to the information sent back by the clone, the weakest Direbeast was comparable to a Class 8 Direbeast. Class 9 Direbeasts were everywhere, and there were many Stellar-level Direbeasts.
The first to be attacked was the base city of San Francisco in the United States.
Under the attack of hundreds of thousands of Direbeasts, San Francisco, a large base city with a population of tens of millions, turned into a living hell in just one day!
Countless civilians died.
Countless Arcanists died tragically.
Countless families lost their homes.
The economic losses were immeasurable.
Throughout the thirty years since the rise of the Direbeasts, although humans had experienced countless disasters, there had never been such a horrifying massacre.
Besides, even if a base city's defenses were breached due to the wild beasts' invasion, it would be a small or medium-sized base city.
Large base cities and super base cities had the most advanced weapons and equipment, as well as the number of arcanists.
In people's impression, large and super base cities had always been synonymous with safety and sturdiness. But now...
However, there was no time for humans to grieve because within three days after the Dimensional Rift appeared, Direbeasts appeared in Manila Base City, Sydney Base City, Vancouver Base City, and Los Angeles Base City.
At this moment of life and death, the top human leaders quickly summoned arcanists to resist, and a large number of arcanists were sent to the coastal base cities that were attacked.
Unfortunately, the power of the Direbeasts was too terrifying. Although humans resisted tenaciously, they still could not stop the pace of the Direbeasts.
After the Direbeasts wreaked havoc in these large and super base cities, they left, leaving only ruins and corpses everywhere.
Three days passed.
Countless people died tragically.
Countless families were broken.
More than a dozen large and super base cities were in ruins.
Bad news came one after another. It was no exaggeration to say that these three days were the darkest three days of humanity in the past 30 years.
Some people therefore called these three days the "Three Dark Days", indicating the darkest three days in human history!
Of course, the disaster that had already happened could not be undone. The next Direbeast invasion was the top priority. In order to deal with the Direbeast invasion that could break out at any time, the top human leaders recalled all the core forces, including the Ultimate Matriculation Camp.
Ling Jiu and Bai Ya's duplicates left Mars and returned to Earth.
They were assigned to Modu Base City, one of the four super base cities in Huaxia, and Hong Kong Base City, one of the 15 large base cities, to defend these two base cities.
Now that they had removed their duplicates, they had to go back and replace them in person. Otherwise, no one would be able to bear the crime of desertion.
"Honey, I'm leaving."
Bai Ya stared at Ling Jiu. "Take care of yourself!"
"Who made this personnel allocation? How dare they separate us. Damn it …" Ling Jiu wanted to curse.
"Forget it. The top priority now is to go back and defend the base cities. If the Direbeasts invade and we are not there, we will be in trouble!"
Bai Ya comforted him.
"All right."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "The Direbeast invasion this time is unusual. Even stellar beings can't guarantee their safety. Promise me, Bai Ya, you must protect yourself no matter what. Do what you can and don't force yourself. "
"I know, you too!"
Tears welled up in Bai Ya's beautiful eyes. "Ever since we entered the matriculation camp, we have never been separated for nearly two years. I didn't expect to be separated this time … Honey, I can't bear to leave you!"
"I can't bear to leave you either!"
Ling Jiu took a deep breath. "Bai Ya, we are leaving soon. To ensure your safety, I will give you the Dimensional Arcana."
"No!"
Bai Ya shook her head. "You copied the Dimensional Arcana from your ex. I don't want it."
"…"
Ling Jiu was speechless. Why was she still fussing over this at a time like this? Besides, was Ai Yuhe his ex? They had not even started yet, okay?
"How about I turn back time for you?"
Ling Jiu said helplessly. "This arcana can turn back time by five seconds. It can save your life at critical moments."
"Turn back time by five seconds? That's fine. "
Bai Ya's eyes lit up as she nodded.
"Bear with it. It will hurt."
"Okay."
Ten minutes later, Bai Ya successfully integrated the Time Reversal arcana. Ling Jiu created a clone and asked it to send Bai Ya back to Xiangjiang while he flew to Modu.
On the way to Modu, Ling Jiu called home. To his relief, his parents were safe at home. Wukong was with them for the time being, so they were safe.
But after talking to his parents for a while, Ling Jiu frowned after learning about the situation.
Three days ago, Ling'er had also entered the Ultimate Matriculation Camp, just in time for the Direbeast invasion. So, like other matriculation camp trainees, she was assigned to a coastal base city, which was extremely sad.
What was even more sad was that she was neither assigned to Modu Base City nor Xiangjiang Base City, but Bao 'an Base City.
Bao 'an Base City.
Imperial Capital Base City.
Magic Sea Base City.
Nanyue Base City.
It was also one of the four super base cities of Huaxia.
Moreover, Bao 'an Base City was closer to the Pacific Ocean than the Magic Sea, so the possibility of Direbeast invasion was higher.
"Ling'er has been assigned to Bao 'an Base City."
Ling Jiu gritted his teeth. "Who the hell did the personnel assignment? No, I have to go to Bao 'an to see Ling'er. What if something happens to her? "
Thinking of this, Ling Jiu created another clone and let him continue to go to Magic Sea Base City while he flew to Bao 'an Base City.
It turned out that Ling Jiu's hunch was right. When Ling Jiu arrived at Bao 'an Base City, he saw a shocking scene.
On the boundless azure sea, waves rolled and surged violently. Gigantic creatures that looked like giant ships lay across the sky above the sea.
They scraped against the sea and skimmed toward the coast. As they got closer and closer to the coast, the sea became shallower, and they gradually became exposed.
Those were ferocious Direbeasts, and the overall appearance of these monsters was completely different from all the Direbeasts Ling Jiu had encountered before.
They were not the aquatic monsters in the oceans of Europa and Ganymede, nor were they the forest Direbeasts on Whitehole 2. They were more like... bugs?
Yes!
Bugs!
There were giant ladybugs with a body length of more than 1,000 meters.
There were giant praying mantises covered in hard armor and wielding blades.
There were spiders with a height of more than hundreds of meters and several spear-like legs.
There were also giant ants with red bodies and swarms of them.
...
To describe this Direbeast army in one sentence, it was like a general mobilization of giant insects.
They came across the sea, covering the sky and covering the earth. It was like an endless sea of insects. Just a glance was enough to frighten people to death.
"Direbeasts!"
"The Direbeasts are here!"
At this moment, countless Arcanists stood on the city wall of Bao 'an Base City. Of course, there were also soldiers armed with long guns and short cannons.
Everyone stared at the endless giant insects with uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
No base city had ever been able to stop this army of beasts. Now that they were invading, could they stop the beasts?
Everyone was not sure.
At this moment, a broadcast sounded on the city wall. "Pass down the order: all electromagnetic cannons are loaded, and nuclear mortars are ready!"
"Nuclear mortars!!!"
Electromagnetic cannons were a conventional weapon used to hunt down the leaders of the Direbeasts. Everyone knew this. But nuclear mortars were nuclear weapons!
Although the smallest yield of a nuclear mortar was only 10 tons, once it exploded, it would destroy everything within a radius of 400 meters. Its power was unparalleled.
The light radiation, shock waves, and radioactive pollution of nuclear mortars were terrifying. If this was released, how could people live around the base city?
However, thinking of the invasion of Direbeasts and the scenes of many large and super base cities being razed to ruins, everyone could understand why nuclear mortars were used.
Instead of waiting for the base to be destroyed, it was better to use nuclear mortars to fight to the death. No matter how bad the consequences were, could it be worse than the destruction of the base city and the death of countless people?
"Everyone, the war is imminent. I don't want to say any more nonsense. I just want to say one thing!
"I'm sure everyone has heard of the scenes of other base cities being destroyed. Once our Bao 'an Base City is destroyed, it will end up like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Sydney, and other base cities!
"In order to prevent the same scene from happening in our Bao 'an Base City, I beg everyone to do their best...
"The survival of the 200 million people of Bao 'an Base City depends on everyone!"
