Chapter 801: Chapter 448: Striking with Renewed Vigor, A Myth Crossing the Skies! (5.4K)

Phosphorescent City, Watercolor Federation.

Within the city, there are three main rivers: Phosphor River, White River, and Cangluo River. All three rivers originate from the core area of the Phosphorescent Oasis, terminating on the outskirts of the Oasis.

This forms the ecosystem of the Oasis.

Phosphor River is the largest river in the city and also the primary source of water for Phosphorescent City.

A magnificent stone bridge, wide enough to accommodate eight carriages side by side, arches majestically over the Phosphor River, resembling a lazily sprawling blue dragon. Recently, water extraction from the Phosphor River had been prohibited, but the Phosphor Bridge remains a major thoroughfare with people coming and going like the currents of the river itself.

This doesn’t matter much, as long as you don’t drink the polluted river water, you won’t unwittingly turn into a zombie.

Under the sunlight, the wide Phosphor River has a golden shimmer, like the sparkling scales of a Divine Dragon, holy and majestic, with no hint of the filth lurking within.

"I heard that only the mythological beings with specific ’abilities’ are capable of removing this pollution."

"Indeed, but the mythological beings of our Watercolor Federation likely won’t bother with such trivial matters."

"It’s not that these are trivial matters, it’s just that the mythological beings of our federation are overstretched—they’re not only dealing with Phosphorescent City, but dozens of other cities also require purification, and the effects of such clean-ups are temporary. They require a considerable amount of power from the mythological beings and are not visibly effective. If I were them, I wouldn’t waste much on it either."

"However, I heard that the Academy of Eternal Fire did send a mythological being to cleanse many cities in the Great Oasis. It’s just that our Watercolor Federation didn’t want external mythological beings stepping in; otherwise, we would have seen one from the Academy of Eternal Fire in our Phosphorescent City by now."

Several residents of Phosphorescent City quietly contemplate.

Of course, they hope for the Phosphor River to be purified so that there can be enough water resources available.

"After all, we are inner city residents, even if the rivers are polluted, at least we can get drinkable water, but the civilians from the outer city are suffering."

"Yes, recently there have been civilians from the outer city secretly drawing water from the river, and several zombie incidents occurred. The aristocrats up top are furious, but these aristocrats also fail to consider that people are nearly dying from thirst; who would heed Phosphorescent City’s prohibition?"

"Fortunately, the Academy of Eternal Fire developed some purification plant that can purify the extracted river water, otherwise, our Phosphorescent City might already be in complete chaos."

Several non-aristocratic but also elite citizens of the inner city sighed.

Under the disaster, everyone is as insignificant as an ant.

Fortunately, they were born in the inner city of Phosphorescent City, already luckier than 99.9% of the population, and had endured the hardest part of the disaster. Perhaps they would soon see the dawn.

As they thought this and gazed at the river, their eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Under the sunlight, the glittering, gleaming waters of the Phosphor River began to darken inch by inch, becoming chilly and eerily deep, as though even the sunlight was being obscured.

In a blink of an eye, the magnificent Phosphor River had disappeared, leaving only a river as black as sin, like Dark River laden with countless pollutants!

Waves began to churn from Dark River, sinister shapes lurking within, seemingly ready to leap out with gaping maws.

"What, what’s happening!"

The pedestrians on the bridge panicked and bewildered.

Just as they remained on guard against the strange shapes intermittently surfacing in the black water, a harsh, low roar suddenly erupted beside them.

Previously stunned by the black water, the onlookers’ eyes gradually turned vacant as if coated in pitch-black stagnant water.

Their mouths widened, and their tongues turned dark and elongated; their bodies bent slightly as if suppressing some transformation.

Their skin turned grayish-black; their arms swelled under the burlap clothes, outlining robust muscles. Accompanying the sound of tearing, the bulging muscles tore through the fabric, falling in flutters.

Soon,

The bridge was filled with many, their skin entirely grayish-black with speckles, their upper bodies bare and muscular.

No, they were zombies!

They lunged toward the living nearby.

In an instant, screams reverberated through the grand bridge, piercing the sky.

However, the anomaly didn’t just occur on the Phosphor Bridge but also appeared in multiple areas along the Phosphor River, spreading fast like a virus.

Awakeners yet unaffected drew their swords in fury.

Some retreated in terror, attempting to escape the disaster before them.

In the core area of Phosphorescent City, at the City Lord’s mansion.

"The river, it’s all black!"

"Wasn’t it said that as long as we don’t consume these polluted waters, there wouldn’t be a problem?"

"Clearly, the disaster has escalated!"

"Now isn’t the time to discuss these issues; rather, we need to figure out what to do! If we can’t come up with a solution, Phosphorescent City will soon fall to the zombie disaster."

Inside the City Lord’s mansion, everyone was in panic as the old lords lacked both the capability and experience to handle such catastrophes.

Someone immediately said:

"Send out a distress signal to the federation, quick! Our Phosphorescent City is after all one of the six rated Great Oases of the federation, highly significant, the high lords cannot possibly abandon us."

"No use, we just got word that similar incidents are occurring across the federation; they need hands everywhere and instructed us to suppress the disaster on our own."

"Suppress on our own? How can we manage that! Moreover, we have no clue what’s causing the zombification. What if we turn too!"
