Day after day, night after night.
Xinquan remains a peaceful place amidst the drizzle, where surprisingly most people have gradually grown accustomed to it. A part of their hearts has gradually felt that perhaps those Water Ghosts are already afraid of Xinquan's defenses and dare not come again.
The knights under Slan still ignore the heavy rain and dampness, persisting with their daily patrols and training. It's just that their armor is long-haired, which is not much of a nuisance.
As for the Chosen Ones from Desert Market in Diaomao Town, after being fully prepared at first, they have gradually begun to become lax. Some have even started indulging in strong liquor and lust. Others have already caused a lot of trouble, leaving Old Lin with a headache every day upon waking up. If it weren't for Old Lin still being here to suppress things a bit, there might have been people wanting to shirk responsibilities by now.
As for the hard men of the security team, they remain as stable as ever.
Since the start of the rainy season, double salaries and combat allowances that continue even without encountering the enemy have been handed out daily to everyone. There's no worry about food and drink, and even if one suffers a bit, the family in Cliff City can live a good life. For veterans who have no other skills besides killing, arson, shooting, and firing cannons, this is an extremely lucrative deal.
Especially since internal purchases within Coastal Industry have employee discounts, comprehensive maintenance, and if there are children in the family who are good at studying, ultra-low-interest student loans and relevant support can be provided. If they get into Tianmen, it can even be interest-free with additional sponsorship...
Anyone who has been through some hardship knows just how unscrupulous it is not to enjoy such sinful good days while they last.
Only the treasury of Coastal Industry is depleting at a visibly fast pace, gradually showing signs of deficit under such massive expenditure.
After all, the rainy season is hard to endure, business is difficult to do, and even the tail payments of many products are about to break off. Ghost knows how many customers will still be left after the rainy season.
Seeing his Hai Province being ruined like this has resolutely strengthened Ji Jue's determination to exterminate the bandits.
The Water Ghosts must be killed!
Otherwise, how could he eat hotpot and sing songs while riding the Sky Rail in the future?
And just that noon, Ji Jue received news.
A note was specially delivered to the coast by Old Lin, with the glaring words on it: the Bloodwashing Fleet and many pirate ship groups had followed the mist and were heading towards Xinquan, expected within the next few days.
The information clearly came from an insider, otherwise, it couldn't be so certain.
However, Chen Xingzhou's ability to reach this deep into the other side's pocket was truly beyond Ji Jue's expectations.
Very soon, he received another message from the Security Bureau.
The two central big cities of Tide City and Cliff City are all under martial law, including the Chosen Ones in small cities like Ship City and Jiang City who have been mobilized for emergency action.
In the southwestern area of Endless Sea near the Federation, known as the Panghuang Sea, two supreme Disaster Beasts, the White Flood Dragon and the Green Flood Dragon, have awakened and entered their foraging period. After ravaging the Thousand Islands, they have begun to move towards the Federation's territorial waters.
Under the emergency mobilization state, all Security Bureau combat members in the coastal areas must return to their positions and await orders, and the Vanguard Team has already set off to observe the situation.
If these ghostly things show any signs of approaching land, they must be driven away at the first sign. Each awakening and foraging of the Green Flood Dragon and the White Flood Dragon triggers a mighty upheaval, not to mention the huge appetites of the two Disaster Beasts. The key issue is the large number of merfolk dependent on them for survival...
Although their name sounds gentle and harmless, in reality, the disaster species known as merfolk, even when newly hatched, are monsters weighing several tons and at least six meters long!
After completing their growth, the strong among them have a high probability of receiving the blessing of the Ruins and entropy, becoming bona fide [Harm]-level disasters.
Furthermore, the most dangerous thing is that merfolk are a social species!
Once a leader appears, hundreds or thousands of its kind often follow...
These ocean creatures, mutated under the infection and erosion of the two Flood Dragons, often possess extraordinarily large appetites and are more ferociously violent than ordinary mutants.
If they aren't stopped and crawl into the sewers of Cliff City, who knows what kind of trouble they could stir up.
Not to mention the large number of mindlessly rampant mutants that have appeared lately, with the situation rapidly deteriorating.
For the time being, the Security Bureau has no attention to spare.
This also means that Xinquan will not be able to receive aid from the Security Bureau in the short term.
It's as if things are happening one after another, at just the right timing.
This inevitably made Ji Jue think more deeply.
Then, the news that spread throughout the wilderness was nothing less than a disaster.
The storm is moving west!
Every year during the rainy season at this time, a super typhoon system blows in from the Endless Sea, bringing with it endless rain and gales, with the storms being relentless. But this time, the typhoon's wind speed has reached level eighteen...
After hanging up the phone, Ji Jue sighed silently.
The timing and place, it seems Pacquiao, that old thing, finally got his chance!
Starting from the afternoon, torrential rain poured down, accompanied by continual roaring.
The entire wilderness of Hai Province was shrouded in violent turmoil, with flash floods raging and landslides spreading. As the water level rose, even Xinquan—which was originally located at the highest point—began showing signs of being submerged.
