You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Time passed by, second by second.

The oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger and stronger.

Three o'clock in the morning.

The time when the typhoon is predicted to make landfall is getting closer and closer.

Thanks to the efficient organization of Su Qingge and the hotel staff, the vast majority of tourists and staff on the island have been successfully transferred to the sturdy air-raid shelter on the hotel's basement floor, a remnant of the Cold War era, which is capable of withstanding a nuclear blast.

Ye Qingcheng, Jiang Tingxue, and Su Ke'er stayed with Shen Manyun and the elderly couple Lin Zhiyuan, and were arranged by Lin Chen to stay in the safest core area of ​​the air-raid shelter.

Lin Chen, along with Su Qingge and a few other daring security guards, remained in the hotel lobby on the first floor to conduct final patrols and handle any emergencies.

"BOOM—!!!"

Just as the clock hands pointed to exactly three in the morning!

A deafening thunderclap, seemingly capable of tearing the entire sky apart, suddenly exploded from where the sea met the sky!

Immediately afterwards, a thick, dragon-like, pale white bolt of lightning ripped through the dark night, illuminating the entire world as bright as day!

In that instant of light, everyone could clearly see that on the distant horizon, a terrifying "wall of water," at least ten meters high, composed of seawater, was crashing toward Emerald Island with earth-shattering force!

"They're here!"

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted!

"Bang--!!!!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the towering wave crashed violently onto the island's coastline with the force of a thunderbolt!

The entire island seemed to have been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, and trembled violently!

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel lobby, made of double-layered tempered glass, emitted a mournful "humming" sound under the terrifying shockwave, and their surface was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

Immediately afterwards, the storm arrived as expected!

"Splash splash splash splash—!"

Large raindrops, carried by gale-force winds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, lashed against the building's exterior walls like countless steel balls, producing a dense, heart-stopping "crackling" sound!

Outside the window, the shadows of the coconut trees that were still visible were uprooted and torn to shreds in just a few seconds by the apocalyptic gale!

"Sizzle...smack!"

The lights in the hall flickered violently a few times, then went out completely!

The island's only external communication base station was also completely destroyed by the raging lightning and giant waves in the first instance!

Power outage!

Communication interrupted!

At this moment, the beautiful Emerald Island was completely transformed into a secluded island at sea, isolated from the world and shrouded in endless storms and darkness!

"Activate backup power!"

Despite the danger, Su Qingge remained calm and immediately issued instructions into the walkie-talkie.

Soon, a few dim emergency lights came on, barely dispelling the pitch-black darkness.

Hundreds of tourists and staff are crammed into a hot and humid underground air-raid shelter. Listening to the howling wind and the groans of the building overhead, they are all pale-faced and trembling, filled with fear of the unknown and relief at surviving the ordeal.

If it weren't for that young man...

If it weren't for him forcing everyone to evacuate four hours in advance in a near-dictatorial manner...

By now, they, along with those fragile wooden houses, have probably already been torn to pieces by this terrifying typhoon and swept into the cold, dark sea!

In an instant, Lin Chen's image in everyone's mind had been elevated from a "handsome guy who can fight" to a "savior" level!

At this moment, this "savior" was standing alone in front of the cracked French windows, quietly watching the terrifying scene outside that resembled the end of the world.

There was no fear on his face, and his eyes were as calm as a bottomless ancient well.

[God-level Sixth Sense]!

A faint, chilling sense of crisis, like a venomous snake, coiled around his heart.

He knew that this typhoon was more than just a natural disaster.

Even more so... a man-made disaster!

The murderer, or rather, the organization behind the murderer, orchestrated all of this!

They used a typhoon to block the island, trapping everyone here, all to create a perfect, isolated hunting ground!

The first victim, Ah Biao, was just the beginning, a "sacrifice" used to spread fear and create chaos.

Who are their real targets?

Just then!

"boom--!!!"

A muffled explosion suddenly erupted from the quiet second-floor guest room area of ​​the hotel!

The sound wasn't loud; it was like someone had set off a large firecracker in the room.

But in this deathly silent environment, it seemed particularly abrupt and jarring!

"not good!"

Lin Chen's eyes sharpened instantly!

Before he could even say a word to Su Qingge, he was like a cheetah ready to pounce, kicking open the door to the stairwell leading to the second floor and rushing up the stairs!

The explosion came from a luxury suite at the end of the second-floor corridor!

When Lin Chen arrived, he found that the solid wood door to the room was locked from the inside and could not be opened at all!

Time is of the essence!

Lin Chen no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and focused his energy in his dantian!

[Grandmaster-level Fighting Technique] - Mountain-Stabbing Strike!

"Bang!!!!"

A loud bang!

The door, made of thick solid wood and weighing over a hundred pounds, seemed to have been rammed by a prehistoric beast. The lock shattered instantly, the entire door panel caved inward, and then collapsed with a crash!

Lin Chen rushed into the room!

There was no fire or signs of an explosion in the room, but the air was filled with an extremely pungent and strong acidic smell!

Using the dim emergency lights in the corridor, Lin Chen immediately spotted the second victim lying in a pool of blood!

That man was none other than the local tour guide who had acted strangely on the beach that afternoon and then been knocked unconscious with a karate chop!

At this moment, he was lying on the ground in pain, his body still twitching slightly.

A horrifying, deep, bone-revealing hole appeared in his throat!

It was as if he was being completely corroded and melted from the inside by something unseen! Large amounts of blood and corroded tissue were gushing from his mouth and nose, preventing him from even letting out a scream!

Clearly, someone forced him to drink some kind of special strong acid while he was unconscious!

The vitality of the guide is rapidly fading away.

He saw Lin Chen rush in, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, which were bulging with pain and fear.

With his last ounce of strength, he raised his finger, stained with his own blood and acid, and trembling, drew a twisted, eerie symbol on the pristine white wall beside him—

A black crescent moon!

After drawing the symbol, his arm fell limply to his side, his head lolled to the side, and he breathed his last.

Lin Chen stared quietly at the symbol on the wall, drawn with blood and death.

In that instant, his pupils contracted sharply to the most dangerous pinpoints!

He recognized the symbol!

He had seen this symbol in a top-secret document; it only represented one name!

A taboo name that strikes fear into the hearts of intelligence agencies around the world!

"The Dark Moon Organization..."

Lin Chen uttered the name, word by word.
