Chapter 294: Chapter 263 This is Our Dawn (Requesting Monthly Votes)

Beneath the majestic Pure White Tower, several fully armed Flame warriors stood tall and straight, the flame patterns inscribed on their black robes leapt and burned like their powerful hearts.

Accompanying them were Huang Hongtian and a few other important figures from the investigative bureau.

Not many people.

Because Shuize Base City was still on high alert, more warriors were stationed throughout the city, guarding against the sudden surge of Mysterious Evil from the depths, stepping into reality.

But, after today, that would no longer be the case!

"Let’s go, let us light the Dawn."

Fang You took the lead and stepped forward, walking into the three-hundred-meter-high Pure White Tower.

The interior of the tower was very spacious, with lanterns hanging all around, emanating soft and bright pale golden light. On closer inspection, one could see that these lamps were not hanging by any thread, and they were suspended two to three inches from the walls, truly floating lamps, or rather, the lamps were solidified in the space not far from the walls.

Apart from that, there were not many decorations inside, only a staircase spiraling up around the Lighthouse wall, leading directly to the luminous tower top.

But of course, climbing the stairs was... too slow!

This was the modern age, and even with the advent of mystery, convenience and speed were sought. A clean white column stood at the center of the entire Lighthouse, requiring five or six people to embrace it - this was also the ’elevator’ of the Dawn Lighthouse.

How it operated, the specific principles, Fang You naturally did not understand, but he roughly knew that the operation of the Dawn Lighthouse consumed power from mysterious crystals, and likely the Lighthouse itself also had the ability to draw ’energy from heaven and earth’.

The consumption of mysterious crystals was not very large — compared to the many Ming Dengs inside the tower.

Later, when there was an opportunity, he could let Lao Wang Master study the internal structure of the Lighthouse, extract the technological essence from it, but for now, of course, the task was to activate the Lighthouse so that its Ability could truly be brought into play.

The elevator, carrying several people, whooshed up to the highest point of the Lighthouse. In just an instant, accompanied by a "thud," the white doors opened and the spacious aerial platform of the Lighthouse presented itself before everyone.

The structure of the Dawn Lighthouse, from bottom to top, tapered slightly, but upon reaching this topmost lookout, it bulged outwards again, offering a considerably open space. A lookout corridor wrapped around the tower body, and through the glass, one could clearly take in the view of Shuize City below.

Buildings towered, and dots of light filtered through the windows, faintly illuminating this dull daylight.

Looking up, there were the dark, gloomy clouds, thickly concealing the entire sky. Standing on the three-hundred-meter-high lookout platform, this oppressive feeling became even more pronounced; within the field of vision, not a single ray of sunlight could be found.

This was the world now, a world of only overcast skies.

After taking a lap, Fang You arrived at the control console located in the central area.

He stretched out his hand, palm open and lightly pressing on the crystal panel in front of him. Immediately, streams of golden light appeared, spreading along fixed routes towards the surroundings, with piece after piece of information displaying on the control console.

This was for Director Huang, for An Jianyou, and the others to observe.

Just like the control center of the Flame base, one could perform some operations on the running of the base there, but the real core control console was still within the game interface.

’Dawn Lighthouse (Inactive)’

’Tier: Golden Legend’

’Category: Special Structure’

’Ability ①: Dawn’s Light’

’Within the range covered by Dawn’s Light, darkness shall disperse, and the filth lurking under reality will have great difficulty proliferating.’

’Ability ②: Dawn’s Guardian’

’Within the protective range of the Dawn Tower, Mysterious Evil will have nowhere to hide, and the assault on human sanity will be greatly weakened.’

’Ability ③: Wall of Dawn’

’When a sufficient number of Dawn Lighthouses stand at the nodes of surging waves, the radiance of Dawn may be able to halt the spread of the Tide of Gray Mist, please explore this on your own.’

----

’Notice: The Dawn Lighthouse has been completed but not yet activated, do you wish to begin activation?’

’Notice: The Dawn Lighthouse can only be activated in areas with a large population. The more people around during the initial activation, the stronger the Dawn force gathered by the Lighthouse will be.’

----

"Ding!"

"Activate?"

Platinum-colored letters displayed on the control panel.

Director Huang gazed at the Flame instructor dressed in a white robe in front of him, his palm involuntarily tightening.

An Jianyou’s hands were clasped together at his chest, looking out the window, then back to the instructor’s face.

Black Blade’s expression could not be discerned.

But there was no doubt that at this moment, everyone present was somewhat nervous, somewhat expectant, until they heard Fang You utter two words, "Activate!"

The golden radiance grew brighter, and the entire control room seemed to be filled with warmth.

Outside, the Pure White Tower standing on the land also began to diffuse a faint moon-golden radiance. What was originally just an isolated Dawn Lighthouse entity, at that moment, gradually connected with the entire land, with the people living upon that land, into one whole.

Higher up, just above the lookout platform, the spire started to emit a golden glow, twinkling and gradually brightening.

Under the dim, overcast sky, the Dawn Lighthouse, already a landmark building, became even more conspicuous at this moment. People walking on the road and those staying indoors all looked up.

"What is that, shining?"

"It’s that white tower! It was built just these past few days, but that area has already been closed off."

"Is the light from the tower meant to replace sunlight?"

Many people raised questions, but before they could discuss it with those around them, their eyes widened, staring fixedly at the distance, at the sky not far from the Pure White Tower.

The sky was dark and heavy, as it had been for days on end.

Without much rain, the suffocating grey-black cloud mass remained for too long without dispersing.

Perhaps it never would.

No more sunlight, no more clear skies, no blue skies and white clouds.

Many had to accept this fact.

But at this moment, in the center of the cloudy dome always enshrouded by dark clouds, a hint of gold started to emerge, becoming brighter and brighter. Suddenly, a beam of light appeared, and the golden beam, like the spear of the heavens, ripped through the thick, dense clouds, tearing open the black curtain that had been covering the city from above, and heavily striking upon the land.

The earth had outlines of light upon it.

At first, it only shone upon a square meter or two, but soon the golden outlines on the earth spread, spreading quickly, sweeping over the dark asphalt road, over the puddles in the alleys, over the walls of buildings, and also over the faces with slightly parted mouths.

The veil of darkness was torn asunder!

The light of dawn, starting from above the lighthouse, spread rapidly in all directions, bringing sunlight to the entire city.

The asphalt road glowed, the puddles reflected light, and the glass windows of the buildings sparkled under the illuminating light.

Suddenly, the world was filled with color.

In the outer areas of the Shuize base city, the last group of evacuees stepped off the bus, their faces blank with the confusion of leaving their homes and the uncertainty of their future lives.

But then, they saw the golden radiance tearing through the dark clouds in the distance.

The radiance spread at an extremely fast speed, quickly reaching them from the central city area in the distance and continuing to spread further.

"It’s light!"

A girl stretched out her hand, touching the light that fell, her palm gradually warming, and her eyes filled with hot tears.

The old man holding a child’s hand stood in a daze, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

Further away,

The investigators who had been escorting all the way were surprised, excited, and joyful; they tilted their heads back, staring at the cascading light of dawn, tears glistening in the corners of their eyes.

He blinked forcefully, still unwilling to look away.

"This sunlight is blinding."

...

Pure White Tower, the observation platform.

The sunlight streamed through the glass, glittering on the corridor, golden and splendid.

An Jianyou couldn’t help but step forward, placing his hand on the clear glass window, his eyes like deep water rippling with the colors of light.

The azure sky was dotted with floating white clouds.

A giant fireball was suspended above, scattering endless light and heat.

It was the sun, which she thought she would never see again.

On the observation platform, whether they were Flame warriors or investigators, everyone was excited, and because they knew the truth better than ordinary people, they understood how precious the sunlight that tore through the dark clouds was.

Huang Hongtian suppressed his excitement and stepped forward to express his gratitude,

"This is Dawn’s Light; Instructor Fang, you have brought dawn to this city."

Hearing his words, Fang You shook his head slightly, "It’s not me."

He looked outside, where golden radiance fell upon the sea of people, upon each smiling face.

"It is because everyone never gave up hope that dawn has come."

Today’s dawn belongs to every person inside the base city.

However,

"The lighting of the lighthouse is just the first step of the Dawn Project; now is not the time to relax."

"Hmm..."

"We won’t let this hard-earned light be lost again."

...

Shuize base city, the former state investigative bureau building, which is now the command center.

Leaving the Dawn Lighthouse, Huang Hongtian arrived here without a moment’s rest, staring at the light screen displaying the map of the Shuize base city, asking his deputy.

"How’s the situation, has any Mysterious Evil appeared?"

"So far, we have not detected any Mysterious Evil disasters."

"Keep an eye on it."

Director Huang also couldn’t bear to close his eyes, and from the sun at its zenith until it gradually disappeared behind the clouds on the horizon, he stayed inside the command center.

Watching the Mysterious Evil Eye map anxiously and nervously.

One hour, just a single one-star disaster occurred.

Four hours, only two one-star disasters occurred.

By the end of the day, only a handful of Mysterious Evil disasters had happened, and they were all in sparsely populated areas on the outskirts of the Shuize base city.

Eight in total! All were one-star, these are the disaster data for the Shuize base city after the dawn!

When this news was announced, all the staff inside the command center burst into cheers.

"We did it!"

"Since the Mysterious catastrophe began, the frequency of Mysterious Evil’s appearance has been getting higher, and disasters have been getting more severe. For the first time, the frequency of Mysterious Evil has decreased! And it has decreased to far below the figures before the Tide of Gray Mist!"

"This is the dawn, the true dawn!"

"Whoo-hoo—!"

All the previous nervousness and worries exploded into tears of joy at this moment.

Director Huang felt the same.

Their efforts had not been in vain and had achieved an unimaginable success.

But, as Instructor Fang said,

"We have only achieved a minor victory. The disaster is still daunting, and the danger facing the Shuize base city has not truly passed."

"Snap to it, we’re moving into the second phase now!"
