Chapter 394: Chapter 320: Harvest and Storm (6K for monthly pass)

The golden radiance spilled over the earth, dispelling the gloom and gray fog, and enveloped the entire base city as well as vast stretches of land in the wilderness.

The Dawn District had expanded.

"The Dawn District used to stop about twenty to thirty kilometers outside the base city, but now... I’ve heard that our Dawn District can cover almost half of Shuize State?"

"Wow, that’s amazing, but didn’t our Dawn District almost fall when the Red Moon disaster happened yesterday?"

"Yes, it was extremely dangerous yesterday."

On the outskirts of Shuize Base City, several junior investigators were cleaning up the buildings and the remnants of the Mysterious Evil.

Last night, base cities like White-headed Eagle that hadn’t yet seen the dawn suffered heavy losses. Here in Shuize, although the casualties were not as severe, the amount of destruction the city endured was considerable.

Trees were uprooted everywhere, many window panes shattered and scattered, and some simple buildings were cracked with fissures crawling upwards.

Even more exaggerated were certain buildings that had been sliced off.

Building debris the size of cars and vans fell from heights, cracking the ground upon impact, and cars were flipped over as huge stones scattered everywhere.

Had the residents not been moved to various refuges before the disaster struck, the casualties would have been unimaginable.

"Even a high-rise in the main city area had been sheared off!"

That was a building over a hundred meters tall, but around the thirtieth or fortieth floor, it was neatly sliced off. The cut was exceptionally smooth, and about a third of the massive structure slid and collapsed, crashing hard onto the ground and the surrounding ’shorter buildings’. It’s said that area is now a pile of ruins, a priority for cleanup and repair.

Just within the base city, the extent of damage was serious. What about outside, beyond the defensive lines?

These junior investigators had not participated in the battle, nor could they even watch from the sidelines—they had taken shelter with the residents, responsible for maintaining order.

Now, seeing the aftermath, they couldn’t help but feel frightened.

The disaster was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

"Yesterday, even the underground space we were in was attacked by strong winds. These buildings that have been sheared off, I heard from above that they were sliced by wind blades. Is there a connection there?"

"That’s right."

A special-class investigator in a black trench coat approached, a cigarette in his mouth, his hand bandaged, and said pensively,

"Whether it’s strong winds or wind blades, they’re said to come from a fearsome Mysterious Evil known as ’Tempest’. The wind itself is the body of this Mysterious Evil. It obscures the sky, vast beyond limit, devouring everything."

"At that time, our entire Shuize Base City was inside the belly of this ’Tempest’, being digested by it. Not only us, this ’Tempest’ even consumed the whole of Shuize State, intending to devour the entire Dong Huang, the whole Blue Star. It was terrifying."

The gray storm blotted out the sky, spreading relentlessly, swallowing everything in its path, even encompassing the entire Blue Star.

Such imagery surfaced in the minds of the junior investigators, sending shivers down their spines.

"There are Mysterious Evils like this?"

"I thought those giant Mysterious Evils, tens of meters tall, were moving disasters, but I never expected... But is such a terrifying Mysterious Evil really something that humans can deal with?"

Not to mention modern firepower being ineffective against Mysterious Evils, even if it were, even if several hundred nuclear bombs were detonated, it’s doubtful they would have any effect on such a Mysterious Evil, right?

That’s disaster itself!

"Yeah, such disasters are nearly unbeatable, but..."

The black trench coat special-class exhaled a cloud of smoke, looking up with a slight tremble in the hand holding the cigarette, he spoke with reverence, "But then, he appeared."

"That person?"

"Director Tang, Director Huang, Captain Luo Sha, or...?"

The black trench coat special-class shook his head slightly, then chuckled, "You know about the mysterious organization, right?"

Seeing the surprise and thoughtful expressions on their faces, the black trench coat special-class raised his hand and said, "You will soon understand what the mysterious organization truly is. Keep up the good work, and you might have the chance to join that organization and... soar to new heights."

The black trench coat special-class, an affiliate student of the Ember, walked away.

He left behind only the legend of the mysterious organization, starting to spread.

...

Cleanup and repairs began inside the city, as well as outside.

Fang You stood on the city wall looking down at the various-sized holes below and the busy figures around them, smiling.

This disaster had indeed struck swiftly and terribly, dealing a heavy blow to Blue Star.

But it also validated Blue Star’s progress, bringing a massive haul of gains.

"The ’drop rate’ of those Mysterious Evils doesn’t seem at all like that of Calamity Level; it’s just slightly higher than that of a three-star grade."

An Jianyou felt somewhat regretful.

She herself did not care about money, but she was very aware of the importance of these mid-tier materials for various departments; many Strange Implements and tools required them for production.

"Director Huang seemed quite disappointed earlier."

"No need to be disappointed. Victorious survival is already the most precious spoils of war. As for the other materials we’re lacking, we can always go find them in the Ghastly Realm."

A loss?

From an accounting standpoint, it seemed like a loss, a massive one.

A tremendous amount of medicinal supplies was spent. Now, Ember, including what was sold to various countries, had run out, forcing many of the less seriously injured to make do with bandages or just endure, or to be taken to hospitals.
