Ji Chen stepped out of the room and gazed at the setting sun.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, its rays painted the clouds a fiery orange-red, falling on Ji Chen's face like a splash of molten gold.

Now that his strength has increased to this point, he no longer dares to stay indoors and cultivate.

With his advancement imminent, he had to consider the evolution of his race.

Before deciding on the skills to add next, Ji Chen has no plans to evolve; he intends to hold back his level for a few days.

Not much, just a few days.

If Ye Xiao and the other mutated beasts heard his thoughts, they would probably be green with envy.

Normally, evolved organisms only stay at the stage of relying on instinct to improve their existing skills and then evolve.

Ji Chen, on the other hand, was deliberately suppressing his level, afraid that his evolution would be too fast and his foundation would be unstable.

Even Ye Xiao, who had been reborn, only knew how to improve his superpowers.

As for evolution, Ye Xiao's ability level was not high enough due to his constant escape and evasion of evolving creatures; he hadn't even reached the upper limit of his own third-tier racial stats.

……

After dealing with the political affairs that had been delayed due to his cultivation, Ji Chen suddenly felt a vague unease in his heart.

Mayor Zhang Jing noticed his unusual behavior and cautiously inquired:

"Sir? Is there anything else?"

Upon hearing that there might be more to come, the other bureaucrats who were preparing to leave immediately settled down.

Ji Chen closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, but still couldn't figure out what was wrong.

However, he trusted his intuition, and if his intuition sensed something was wrong, then something was definitely wrong.

"How's the arms production going?"

Since there is a problem, we should seek a solution, and strength is obviously the most direct way to solve it.

Strength may not be able to solve all the problems in the world, but without strength, the world will only be full of problems.

"Three gun production workshops have been established, and they are currently able to produce about 500 guns per day. Two ammunition factories have also been opened, producing about 100 million bullets per day."

"These are only temporary. With the production line fully operational, in half a month, our city of D will be producing 1500 firearms and 400 million rounds of ammunition every day..."

Listening to Zhang Jing's report, Ji Chen nodded frequently.

The efficiency of modern industry is no joke; as long as you're willing to invest, you can arm an entire army corps in just one month.

"What about armored vehicles, tanks, and most importantly, artillery shell production?"

Zhang Jing looked troubled.

"Sir, our city of D previously had no arms production tasks, no suitable modification factories, and no relevant personnel or technical reserves."

Seeing Ji Chen's face gradually darken, Zhang Jing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said:

"We might have problems with missiles, but armored vehicles and tanks, we can definitely produce them in half a month at most!"

Ji Chen's expression softened slightly, but he was still disappointed.

The strength of modern civilization is largely built upon artillery fire. Without powerful missiles and artillery shells, Ji Chen could hardly imagine the scene of D City under the impact of evolved creatures.

Putting everything else aside, ever since upgrading his Steel Body to level 5, Ji Chen has been able to ignore most modern firepower. Tearing apart steel with his bare hands, kicking tanks, and taking on cannons head-on are all basic operations for him.

Therefore, Ji Chen was certain that as long as third-order evolved creatures appeared on a large scale, given the situation in D City, it could fall at any time and become a living hell.

"Okay, then..."

Before Ji Chen could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up and walked out the door.

The others were taken aback by Ji Chen's reaction and were completely baffled, wondering what had happened to alarm the powerful and terrifying Chief Chu so much.

But they soon found out.

Buzz—Buzz—

The eerie and powerful sound waves enveloped most of D City.

In an instant, the lower-quality glass in the building complex wailed, first twisting into hideous ripples, then shattering under the weight, turning into a torrential downpour of crystal rain.

The fallen fragments reflected a variety of beautiful colors in the afterglow of the setting sun, making D City seem as if it had fallen into a rainbow city, a sight to behold.

But no one in the city was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Because, in this sonic attack, ordinary people suffer far worse than glass; they bleed from all seven orifices, suffer neurasthenia, and even go blind...

Within a few breaths, hundreds of thousands of citizens suffered the aforementioned injuries.

That's not all; the price of beauty followed closely behind, with shards of glass falling from high-rise buildings mercilessly taking away the lives of those below who were suffering terribly.

Roar! !

Ji Chen stepped outside the building, channeling all his energy and letting out a roar, attempting to counter the sound wave.

It was useful, but also useless.

His roar did indeed counteract some of the sudden sonic attacks, but sonic abilities were ultimately not his forte, and his skills were not included in the game.

Therefore, he could only protect the area within a radius of 100 meters.

Then, a hundred meters away, the power gradually diminished until it was completely submerged in the incoming sound waves.

Ji Chen's face was so pale it looked like it could drip water.

He didn't even need to count; D City had suffered devastating losses after this ordeal.

This is his private property!

Ji Chen looked up and gazed eastward. In the distance, a thick, murky green "cloud" was slowly pressing down on D City.

But upon closer inspection, these were not dark clouds at all; they were clearly an enormous army of countless green flying insects, capable of blotting out the sun.

The green flying insect army was clearly not expecting that someone could withstand their sonic attack, especially after sensing Ji Chen's undisguised powerful aura, the swarm became noticeably more agitated.

The swarm of insects stopped for a moment.

But soon, sensing the fresh blood and flesh within the city that had been damaged and killed by their sonic waves, they became restless again.

In particular, this blood food is not only delicious, but there are also hundreds of thousands of them.

This is the blood and food that they still had left after their collective evolution.

"Chief, Commander?!"

The group of officials emerged, still shaken, their faces pale and their ears ringing; they had clearly been injured by the sound waves.

However, before they could catch their breath, they looked up and saw that suffocating green cloud.

Once the eyes adjusted to the writhing dark green, and saw the menacing mouthparts, chilling faces, and eerie compound eyes of some of the larger green flying insects, an instinctive fear gripped everyone, sending shivers down their spines.

It's unclear who first stumbled and rushed towards the railing, their gaze sweeping over the heights and across the city—

The once civilized and prosperous streets have been reduced to a scene of hell, with dilapidated buildings and streets littered with blood, creating a picture of despair.

At this moment, no words are needed.

Everyone who witnessed this scene seemed to have their souls instantly ripped out, and stood frozen in place as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The cruelty of the apocalypse has finally been revealed.

This cruelty is something that even Ji Chen, a powerful being at the forefront of evolutionary life, cannot change; at least, he doesn't have that ability yet.
