Chapter 342 The surging undercurrent

The city of Fedor, beneath the Dead Zone, has been completely reduced to a death zone. The once bustling and prosperous metropolis is now eerily quiet.

The midday sun was blazing, yet it couldn't penetrate the black fog to reach the ground.

The black fog is corrosive, and the electronic devices left in the city will soon become unusable.

The entire city experienced a power outage.

Various remaining technological equipment were parked.

Inside an apartment building.

A figure shrouded in black mist floated at low speed, ascending to the 20th floor along the corridor, weaving through the long passageway, and finally stopping in front of an apartment door.

Click.

The security door was cut apart by an unknown force, turning into fragments that scattered all over the ground in an instant.

The shadowy figure entered the apartment, gently raised its hand, and the surrounding objects defied gravity, all floating up and then orderly swirling around the figure.

A work badge flew over.

The photo shows an adorable black-haired, green-eyed catgirl with a slightly goofy smile, whose name is written as "Hami".

The shadowy figure glanced at the work badge for a few seconds, then swiped it away and moved on to other items.

Soon, a pair of men's underwear floated over.

The shadowy figure reacted, grabbed the underwear and sniffed it, then left the apartment building and quickly moved through the city, soon arriving at the nearest train station.

The station was empty at this time.

After lingering for two weeks, the shadowy figure finally stopped in front of a newsstand, picked up a map magazine, opened it, and quickly found a railway map.

The railway network is dense, but in the end they all converge at one point, connected by a narrow road, linking the central land railway network.

……

A closed meeting room.

Clarkson arrived, looking travel-worn, and sat down in a chair, forming a circle with more than a dozen members.

This room has no windows.

The only light source was a small overhead lamp, and in the dim light, a huge X-shaped logo could be vaguely seen on the wall.

The room was very quiet.

More than a dozen members remained silent.

After a while, a petite figure walked in from outside, stepped onto a stool, stood in front of everyone, and began to speak in a childish voice.

"My fellow travelers from Shattrath, thank you all for responding to the call to arms and coming to our aid. I, Hyacinth Birch, the seventh seat of the Night Watch, the Eye of the Night, will now preside over this meeting."

"Let me first share the known information with you all. The prophet sensed the activity of the Destroyer five days ago. Because of the great distance, he could only sense that the Destroyer was in the direction of the Dead Zone, but the exact location could not be determined."

"After that day, the Destroyer disappeared without a trace. It must have been deliberately concealing its whereabouts. The Prophet could not sense the Destroyer's existence, but the intelligence would not be wrong. The Destroyer has appeared, and calamity is coming."

"The Dead Zone has been stable for decades. According to the research of relevant experts and scholars, the Dead Zone should have become more and more stable. This riot came from an anomaly within the Dead Zone. We speculate that this riot is inseparable from the Destroyer. The Destroyer is most likely a powerful individual that was conceived by the Dead Zone."

"The expansion of the Dead Zone has not stopped and is rapidly spreading to the surrounding cities. The good news is that the black fog will be absorbed by water, and the Dead Zone will be blocked by the sea. The terrain of Shata State is unique, more like a small continent, connected to the continental plate through the Isthmus of Bay."

"The Kingdom Council has decided to abandon Shata State, evacuate all personnel, and establish a multi-layered water curtain at the Water Bay Isthmus to prevent the spread of the Dead Zone."

"The Water Curtain Kingdom will take action. Our Night Watchers' target is the Destroyer. All personnel are stationed at the Water Bay Isthmus, which is the only passage to the continental shelf. The Destroyer is very likely to appear here."

"Next comes the specific operational arrangements... Because this evacuation covers a large area, we may need to provide covert assistance to maintain order. Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

The meeting lasted a long time before it ended.

Clarkson obeyed the order and headed to the Isthmus of Water, to garrison the only, and also the largest, city there.

……

Mo Yu held Lei Leya in his arms, gently patting and stroking the little bunny girl's back. The little bunny girl curled up in his arms, whimpering sweetly.

She was frightened.

Upon seeing Mo Yu, she immediately snuggled into his arms and started drooling.

Alpha squatted to the side, still looking rather dim-witted, sticking out its tongue and darting around with its eyes, occasionally scratching itself with its hind legs.

Govia leaned on Moyu's shoulder and told him about her experiences in Fedo City.

That terrifying thing in the black fog.

Govia said with lingering fear, "If it weren't for Lereya's ability to save our lives, you wouldn't be seeing the three of us today."

Mo Yu reached out and pulled Ge Viya into his arms.

The rabbit girl paused for a moment, then buried her head in his chest, vying for space with Lereya.

Mo Yu said, "Let's not take any more risks. The situation is a bit unclear right now, and I can't be sure if the riot in the Dead Zone is related to me."

Govia looked up, pursed her lips, and said, "Anyway, you can go back in time and see for yourself what that thing is."

Mo Yu said, "I'm conducting a test. I suspect that the black light is locating me through my abilities, so I want to try to see if it will still lock onto me if I don't use my abilities for a period of time."

Govia, intrigued, asked, "How long has it been? Is there a result yet?"

Mo Yu replied, "It's been five days, and so far, things are calm."

Govia said, "Then I'll continue to help you gather intelligence on the Night Watchers."

Mo Yu nodded and said, "Okay, but don't do it yourself. Instead, recruit some of your underlings to be cannon fodder. I'll be heartbroken if you get hurt."

Hearing Mo Yu's straightforward expression, a blush rose on Gevia's fair face, along with undisguised joy. She crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, and said proudly, "I know, I know! I'm not stupid."

Mo Yu smiled and kissed Ge Viya on the cheek.

Govia pushed him away with a disgusted look and said, "What are you doing? How annoying!"

Mo Yu pretended to be sad and said, "You don't like it? Then I won't kiss you next time."

Govia stiffened and stammered, "Uh... I... I didn't say I wouldn't let you kiss me... Anyway, you've always been like this, I'm used to it, whatever."

Lereya then chimed in: "I want a kiss too!!!"

Mo Yu kissed the little rabbit girl hard, then said, "Now that you've kissed her, Lei Leya will have to help with the chores."

Amya has requested quite a few tests, some of which can be done by the two of them.

There's nothing dangerous about this.

After cuddling with the two rabbit girls for a while, Mo Yu checked the time and said, "You should go now. Hami will probably be back soon."

The two rabbit girls and Alpha left.

After a while.

Hami pushed open the door and entered. The catgirl looked dejected, her whole body listless. Upon seeing Moyu, she ran up to him for a hug, seeking comfort: "Waaah, I failed the job interview. So many fugitives are looking for work..."

Hami became alert the moment she jumped into Mo Yu's arms.

The catgirl pricked up her ears, sniffed him, then narrowed her eyes, her gaze dangerous, and said, "A girl's scent! And two more! What did you do?"

Mo Yu coughed lightly and said, "When you weren't here, I went out for a walk and almost got caught. Luckily, I'm quick and managed to escape."

Hami: "Waaah! You're not allowed to go out! Humans will get kidnapped by bad guys if they go out!"

The catgirl wandered around the room.

Because of the expansion of the Dead Zone, the situation here is terrible and will only get worse. Her savings won't last long, and the two of them will have to sleep on the streets.

Hami seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly said to Mo Yu with a sense of loss, "We will go back to the Holy Capital and go home."
