December 27th, 1:41 PM, suburban Cliff City, Coastal Automobile Production Plant.

Cafeteria, workshop, dormitories, everyone heard a distant muffled sound, like a tire bursting, and one minute later, the fire alarm suddenly blared.

Echoing across the entire park!

When a massive pillar of pale smoke gradually rose in the distance, everyone saw a bizarre mushroom cloud slowly expanding.

Sharp alarms rang out one after another, and as everyone exchanged puzzled looks, a strange and indifferent female voice came through the broadcast system: "Major safety hazard detected. According to the factory's safety management implementation regulations, all department foremen are to cease all production activities and orderly organize each group of employees to assemble in the central square in front of the main building.

Repeat, major safety hazard detected..."

In less than a minute, all equipment in each unit was completely shut down, all sources of ignition were thoroughly extinguished, and water, electricity, and gas were entirely shut off.

The bewildered and confused workers gathered densely on the square under the urging and calls of the team leaders.

Facing such a situation for the first time, flustered departments counted their numbers once more, repeatedly confirming no errors, and then, like cattle and sheep, were herded onto those large transport trucks originally used for loading cucumbers, speeding away section by section.

Under the terrible road conditions, everyone could only hold onto the railings, swaying to and fro. Just as someone joked about not being sent to some shady industrial park, screams erupted from the back of the truck.

Looking down from the winding mountain road, billowing white mist surged like a tide, spreading and gradually moving towards the coastal factories.

In just a few minutes, the entire vast factory area was engulfed.

Seasonal change emerged in the thick fog ahead, donning a gas mask and protective suit, Ji Jue walked out of the workshop: "Isis, report status."

"Ten minutes ago, the drone on the perimeter detected an explosion accident eleven kilometers away at the chemical liquid storage area of South Crossing Chemicals, causing over a hundred tons of highly polluted chemical substances to leak out. The wind direction is southeast, with carcinogenic pollutants estimated to cover a range of eighty kilometers, encompassing the entire factory.

Based on the type and quantity of leaked chemicals, the shortest expected natural settlement time is five to seven years, with harm to the human body lasting over twenty years."

Isis said: "Looks like your trouble-inducing ability is even more exaggerated than I anticipated."

Boom!

In the footage transmitted from a distant drone, an explosion of firelight soared into the sky.

Ji Jue didn't speak, only stared at the screen, watching the disgusting, sinister white mist slowly spreading, where countless birds dropped from flight, fine white frost covered fertile land, and beasts, insects, snakes collapsed silently.

The once lush mountains and clear waters instantaneously turned into a devastated land.

After a long time, he let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"I thought my baseline couldn't get any lower." He whispered: "Turns out there are experts too."

The phone rang.

"Hello, it's me." Ji Jue picked up the phone: "Don't worry, workers have been organized to evacuate for shelter, the factory is still relatively safe, though it's quite smelly."

"Alright, take care."

The voice on the other end of the line said: "Also, prepare an umbrella."

At that instant, the wind direction abruptly changed.

The white mist blowing southeast suddenly stalled, and without warning, thunder exploded from the sky, a small black dot appeared in mid-air.

Transported out of thin air.

Then, Hui Hao unsheathed.

Tong Shan!

Rebirth form showed variation, countless characters circulated over the pale skin, converging atop the sword blade and blending into the endlessly flowing ink.

Ink meandered from the sky above. Instantly, it outlined a vortex-like contour.

—Catastrophe Image!

In a distant mountain hollow, a prostrate figure raised its head, looking towards Tong Shan, subconsciously wanting to reach out, but was immediately held down by another person.

"Don't move." The bearded Chosen One stiffened, lowly warning: "Don't move!"

Sweating profusely.

As if sensing, those indifferent gazes from the depths of Cliff City glanced over.

A phone rang, without any forewarning.

Even without operation, it connected by itself, speaker activated.

"Since you're here, how about stopping by for tea and a chat?" Tong Ting's voice rang out: "Or, you can try to see if you can escape from Cliff City's territory."

"The Tong family is reasonable."

Before hanging up, he lastly reminded: "Live or die, you choose."

Deathly silence.

Long amidst the deathly silence, the two stood frozen.

After a while, only thunderous noises from the sky were heard.

A clear sky suddenly turned dark, the wind direction shifted sharply, from the rift of Heavenly Rift, the storm surged, bursting wildly, sweeping the earth, resembling invisible hands grabbing the tide of spreading pollution, pulling inwards.

In an instant, amidst thunder and lightning, a ragged tornado rose from the ground!

Earth trembled, torrential rain poured down, a heavy rain curtain swallowed everything in an instant, the howling wind shifted south. The menacing tornado, like a monster, devoured all along the way leaked pollution, into the crevice upon the sky.

And the raging tornado, howled slowly towards the distant ocean.

Until it disappeared.

Truly Tian Yuan, this terrifying control power instantly turned the situation around, reducing a disaster spanning hundreds of kilometers to the lowest possible degree.

From beginning to end, there was never any attack, not even an unexpected event.

The entire process was unbelievably smooth, making Ji Jue find it hard to believe.

Yet at the same time, a shadow gradually loomed over his heart.

Until the phone rang again.

The screen glowed crimson.

——Emergency line!

.

.

Outside the ruins of Spring City, within a makeshift gathering area, a fire shot up into the sky.

The explosion happened so suddenly that there wasn't time to react.

At the busiest time of noon, with people bustling on the streets, when Chen Yubo was driving his iconic pink tricycle, cheerfully ready to go out for food, a truck speeding down the road outside abruptly turned, crushing the flimsy metal barrier and crashing into the street, slamming into the tricycle head-on.

In an instant, under the terrifying impact, the entire tricycle was like a ball kicked ferociously, shooting straight out, crashing into another makeshift house.

Immediately afterwards, the relentless truck followed, toppling over, while the load of garbage in the truck bed swept across the narrow street, crushing countless pedestrians and buildings, and then the fire surged.

The scorching flame light and air waves spread, and in a flash, countless bricks and limbs flew up into the sky, falling like rain.

Dozens of houses, along with most of the Yulou Trade yard, were leveled!

Amidst the burning flames and thick smoke, cries and screams rose.

One after another.

"What the—"

Lu Feng jumped out of the portable toilet like a tiger, avoiding the miserable fate of being covered in filth. As he looked up at the spreading flames, he immediately rolled over, diving behind cover, pulling up his pants while spinning in mid-air.

Narrowly avoiding the air waves from the car explosion, he remained dirt-covered, holding his breath.

"A car bomb, damn? Who the hell can even tell the difference between Central Earth and the Federation anymore... Damn it... Black Skin, Dog Head, Slanted Eyes, anyone there? Speak up!"

He yelled into the walkie-talkie: "Where's the boss?!"

A hurried voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Brother Feng, Black Skin went out with the boss, he's in the car, gone!"

"Shut up if you can't talk properly."

Lu Feng covered his face, charging into the smoky scene, clutching the box he never leaves behind. From afar, he saw half of the car frame exposed in the rubble.

Completely distorted.

Yet inside the car frame, it was gleaming silver, dazzling!

After all, they're friends. Knowing Chen Yubo had many enemies, Ji Jue had given him a special edition, not only thickening the bulletproof car body, reinforcing it against impacts, but also infusing it with pure mercury treated by Fluid Alchemy inside.

When the conditions of alarm in the shock absorption system, car frame distortion, broken windows, and loss of balance are met in two, it would directly activate.

Then, expanding and spraying mercury and foaming hardener would immediately fill the car interior space, rapidly hardening while forming countless fine air layers.

Even using a chainsaw would take at least half an hour to cut through.

A literal iron coffin.

Breaking through it is quite simple.

While sprinting, Lu Feng reached from his wristband and grabbed Ji Jue's specially made glass-breaking device, holding his breath, lifting his clothes to shield his face, and tapped lightly.

The instantly solidified mercury abruptly scattered, evaporated, and the scorching steam spread, forming a dense fog blocking visibility.

And two bodies slid out from the liquid, falling to the ground.

Without a glance, Lu Feng grabbed them by their collars, lowered his head, and sprinted wildly, hiding behind the ruins, then saw Chen Yubo's bruised and gasping face.

Black Skin was still conscious, but his arm was broken, silently gritting his teeth, giving an OK gesture.

"Hey?! Hey, boss, still alive? Make a sound—"

Lu Feng unapologetically slapped Chen Yubo hard twice, and the unconscious man began to cough violently, tears and snot streaming, but his hand immediately reached out, tightly grasping Lu Feng: "Old Lu, cough cough, Old Lu, save me, save..."

"Hang in there!"

Lu Feng ripped open the bottom of his pants, pulled out an adrenaline shot, and injected it. Instantly, the dying boss blushed, his eyes filled with bloodshot threads, reddening.

He screamed.

"Don't speak, come with me, quick quick quick!!!"

Lu Feng tossed his gun to Black Skin, signaling him to scout ahead, then grabbed Chen Yubo's collar and began sprinting without pause.

Generally speaking, according to Central Earth's terrorist attack habits, the car bomb was just an appetizer, someone would surely check the results.

If the target survived...

Beep—!!!!

A sharp alarm sounded from the walkie-talkie, and Dog Head's old soldier screamed in the communication: "Lu Feng, be careful, it's fire—"

A line of sparks pierced the sky!
