I can find treasures in my dreams.

"The Sakura-san Duchy is probably going to be gone soon."

Air Force Major Chen Xuan, sitting in the cockpit of the sixth-generation fighter jet Xinlong, said something cheerfully.

Through the holographic helmet, she could clearly see a cherry blossom city below, which had turned snow-white.

It didn't snow.

Instead, it was covered by white fungus.

Holographic helmets are not exactly cutting-edge technology; the Great Xia Air Force was already equipped with them long before the era of natural disasters.

Essentially, it uses algorithms to fuse the airframe's sensor interface, allowing pilots to observe the surrounding environment from all angles.

Today's holographic helmets are even more powerful, with clearer images and the ability to magnify specific parts using thought.

"I think this city is quite beautiful!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, weapons operator Wu Xiaolu looked down at the city and spoke with admiration.

Chen Xuan replied, "I don't think it's pretty, I just find it terrifying."

Wu Xiaolu joked, "It seems you lack the eye to appreciate beauty."

Chen Xuan retorted, "You're a pervert! Do you know how many dead Sakura people are under the fungal carpet?"

Wu Xiaolu rolled her eyes: "What does this have to do with me?"

Today marks the fifteenth day since the fungal catastrophe broke out in the Cherry Blossom Principality.

On the first day of the disaster, the new capital of the Cherry Blossom people, Shimokyo, was completely covered by fungi within three hours.

The Cherry Blossom people tried to stop the fungus from spreading to nearby cities, but unfortunately failed.

At four o'clock that afternoon, the fungus appeared in Mingquan City, seventy kilometers away, and began a new round of rampant growth.

Many media outlets speculated that the spores were brought there by refugees.

the next day.

Sakura-san's highest-ranking officer, Harashi Makoto, passed away at 8 PM.

In fact, he was infected with spores the first time. These spores can cause different mutations in different individuals, making treatment extremely difficult.

The superhuman had treated Genji, and all his symptoms disappeared. The examination showed no abnormalities, so they thought he was cured.

The next day, the disease suddenly flared up, causing his organs to fail rapidly. A large number of fungi also appeared in his brain, and there was no way to save him; we could only watch him die.

Moreover, more than half of the high-ranking officials in the principality were also infected with the fungus because they had been in the capital the day before.

Day .

The fungus spread at an alarming rate to all twenty-three cities of the Cherry Blossom Principality.

The whole world is shocked!

This fungus thus acquired an extremely imposing name—the Destroyer Fungus.

Countries began to take strict precautions against the cherry blossoms.

For example, the Kingdom of Dongli, which is across the sea, sinks any ship coming from the other side without even giving a warning.

ninth day.

Honin Island, where Shimokyo is located, is one of the three islands of Sakura-san and has been completely occupied.

Fungi have covered every city on the island.

The exact number of deaths is unknown because there has been no media coverage.

But all the guesses point to a huge unit—eight digits.

In order to prevent the spread of the fungus, the Principality of Sakura-san sealed off Honin Island, prohibiting civilians from leaving the island.

They directly blew up the bridges and railways leading to Jiuyuan Island and Siyai Island.

The military even used incendiary bombs to carpet bomb areas near the two islands.

It must be said that this was an extremely cruel order.

Honin Island is the largest and most populous island in Sakura-san.

The inhabitants of Benin Island could only watch in despair as the fungus approached.

The fall of this island effectively rendered the Sakura-san Principality obsolete.

Thirteenth day.

Something even more despairing happened to Sakura-san.

Fungi have appeared on Siyai Island.

Day 14.

The only remaining pristine place, Jiuyuan Island, also developed large patches of white spots due to fungal growth. The world's attention was focused on the Sakura-sang Principality, observing the unprecedented spectacle of "how a lower species could destroy a nation."

soon.

The dragon swept across the city.

Chen Xuan changed the subject: "I remember before the era of natural disasters, I watched a movie with a line that said, 'We are not friends,' and I still remember it clearly to this day."

If they're not friends, then they're enemies.

Wu Xiaolu nodded emphatically: "Yes, so we don't need to help the Ying Sang people."

At this time.

Another white expanse appeared ahead.

This is another city.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "So this is fine."

Wu Xiaolu hummed in agreement: "It is indeed quite good."

*
3500 kilometers to the south.

Bavan Island.

"Oh!"

Just heard a muffled sound.

A hideous crustacean, whose species was unidentifiable, suddenly exploded.

Due to the impact of the laws, countless mutated creatures have emerged in the ocean, including all sorts of strange and unusual beings.

They have one thing in common—danger.

"I really miss the days before natural disasters, when the oceans were full of seafood, unlike now where nine out of ten marine creatures are poisonous."

Army Sergeant Zhuo Yifei put down the sniper rifle on his exoskeleton; it was he who had just shot the crustacean dead.

With the continuous explosive growth of intelligent industrial production, the Great Xia Army has now equipped itself with more than 300 million Tiangong Type II exoskeletons.

Based on combat strength comparison, 300 million exoskeletons are equivalent to 5000 mechanized divisions, or an army of 5000 million people.

His colleague Liu Yan, piloting another exoskeleton, laughed and said, "Everything has two sides. Although the seafood turned into sea monsters, they brought us to Bawong Island."

Bawong Island is a long and narrow island, more than 400 kilometers long, but only 30 kilometers wide on average, and only 9 kilometers wide at its narrowest point.

This island originally belonged to the Kingdom of Luzon.

Now that the age of sea monsters has arrived, Palawan Island's terrain is destined to be attacked by a large number of sea monsters.

that's the truth.

Just ten days ago, a large group of mollusks crawled ashore at night and attacked a city. They were very agile and could spray highly toxic water jets.

By daybreak, there were hardly any living people left in the city.

The other civilians on Bawong Island were terrified and fled the island with their families.

After being ravaged by multiple natural disasters, the island's few hundred thousand inhabitants were almost entirely wiped out within just a few days.

Just three days ago.

Under the banner of "clearing out the sea monster," the Great Xia military dispatched two divisions to land on Bawong Island.

The Luzon authorities have realized that something is wrong and have repeatedly asked the Great Xia army to leave, but the military has ignored them.

The people of Luzon dared not say anything about it.

They naturally understood that they had repeatedly provoked the Great Xia people before the era of natural disasters, and now the Great Xia was finally settling accounts. This was clearly just the beginning.

Compared to the colossal Great Xia, Luzon is but an insignificant little grasshopper.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two more shots rang out.

A two-meter-long mollusk was shot and blown to bits.

The remaining half of its body twisted and turned, diving back into the seawater, demonstrating its extraordinary vitality.

A lot of grayish-green blood was left behind, which looked like it was mostly poisonous.

"How disgusting!"

Zhuo Yifei commented.

Liu Yan laughed and said, "But I love this era! This is the golden age of the Great Xia Dynasty!" (End of Chapter)
