The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Zhou Jian looked in the direction he was pointing, somewhat puzzled.

That coffin was really strange. Lei Yue had studied it when he entered the Wasteland Era, but he couldn't figure it out.

However, just getting close to him makes one's heart tremble.

Lei Yue noticed his doubts and lowered his voice to explain.

"The sparrow at the general store said that this thing might be a treasure, possibly a high-level source weapon."

"Although it looks a bit strange and I don't know how to use it, since it's a treasure, why should it be left lying around? As long as I find the right method, it will definitely be of great use!"

The enormous head of the Blazing Dragon turned slightly, its golden vertical pupils sweeping over the bronze coffin, seemingly ignoring it.

It let out a low growl, as if in response.

The next second, a giant claw made entirely of lava and obsidian slowly rose and precisely grabbed at the bronze coffin.

The giant claws closed, firmly grasping the incredibly heavy bronze coffin.

Zhou Jian and Qin Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's reactions.

Something that's specifically highlighted by someone in the general store must have some other purpose.

The Fiery Dragon, carrying four people and a huge bronze coffin, flapped its wings.

A sudden gust of wind arose, whipping up clouds of dust.

Its enormous body rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

......

the other side.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

The coastline of S City, near the land of cherry blossoms, was now densely packed with figures.

Meanwhile, several drones hovered high in the sky, their mechanical broadcasts playing on a loop, exuding an inhuman coldness.

"Warning: Those without pets or who have not obtained the Wasteland Era qualification should stay away from the coastline."

"A second warning: Those without pets or who haven't obtained the 'Wasteland Era' qualification, please stay away from the coastline!"

"The spider monsters that destroyed the Sakura Kingdom are currently crossing the sea. Their numbers are extremely large. For your safety, please leave the coastline immediately!"

Warnings were issued incessantly, but very few people actually turned and left.

We live in an age of information overload, where events happening thousands of miles away are broadcast almost simultaneously via the ubiquitous internet.

What happened in Japan couldn't be kept secret at all.

A horde of spider monsters descended from the sky, overwhelming everything.

In just three hours, that once prosperous place was completely destroyed and became a monster's lair.

Moreover, this is just the beginning.

Without any pause, the monsters rapidly spread from the Sakura Kingdom to the surrounding land and sea.

Keep in mind that less than half a day has passed since the monster appeared.

If hiding were truly effective, the vast majority of people would choose to flee.

But the reality is cruel.

Everyone knew that once the monster army landed, S City would be the first to be hit, and the entire city, and even the entire Dragon Kingdom, would never have a place of peace again.

Where can I escape to?

Countless people stood on the coastline, staring blankly at the distant sea that was beginning to churn abnormally.

Their faces showed no hysterical terror, only a silence as if they had been sentenced to death.

Some people are making their final, and most feeble, prayers in their hearts.

Pray the monsters will turn around, pray they go somewhere else.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

The sea breeze began to carry a strange, pungent smell, a mixture of fishy and burnt odors, enough to make one want to vomit.

In the crowd, a young man tightly gripped his girlfriend's cold hand, his own palms also covered in cold sweat.

"No, it's alright... The authorities will definitely have a solution. We have the authorities, and we also have the powerful pets in 'Wasteland Era'..."

His words were dry and he couldn't even convince himself.

Not to mention the sheer number of monsters, the cash withdrawal function in Wasteland Era has only just been opened.

Only a very small percentage of people own pets.

Even the most powerful pet can't take on a thousand enemies alone.

The girl next to the man didn't answer; she just buried her head deeper, her thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Not far away, a man holding a glowing weapon kicked a pebble on the ground in frustration.

He is a player who has obtained the qualification for "Wasteland Era". He not only obtained an F-grade source weapon, but also has a third-grade elite pet, a half-meter-tall fire hound.

His Origin Soldier and his pet are enough to make him roam freely among ordinary people.

But now, looking at the fiery hound at his feet, which was also feeling uneasy and whimpering, he felt only bitterness in his heart.

A Rank 3 Elite pet?

With this level of strength, it wouldn't even be enough to fill a monster's teeth.

"Running away! Where do you think you're going? My parents are right behind me, what will happen to them if I run away?"

A burly man, his eyes red, roared at his friend who was trying to persuade him to leave.

"Damn it, even if I die, I'll die in S City! I'll die on the road to victory!"

His roar resonated with many, but it also brought a deeper sense of despair.

Yes, they can't escape.

Behind everyone are family members and loved ones they can't bear to part with.

"If I can't choose how I live, can't I at least choose how I die?"

"If it weren't for the panacea, I would have died long ago. I've said before that if the Dragon Kingdom ever needs me, I will step forward without hesitation!"

"How would I know if I didn't try? I just withdrew my pet, perfect timing! Let me test its power and have a good blast!"

Suddenly, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Everyone instinctively raised their phones and pointed them at the distant sea.

The sea, which had been merely churning, now appeared to be boiling from the seabed, with large plumes of eerie white steam rising from it.

"What is that?!"

"Oh my god... the water's boiling?"

A reporter with a high-powered telescope let out a distorted scream the moment he saw the scene in the sea.

"Legs! Legs!! Legs everywhere!!!"

His voice was distorted with extreme fear.

"Countless...black...long legs!!"

There was absolutely no need for his reminder.

The next second, everyone saw that terrifying scene.

boom!

A huge column of water shot into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a spider monster, tens of meters long and covered with a black carapace, suddenly shot out of the seawater, rose high into the air, and then slammed heavily onto the surface of the sea!

Crash—!

Huge waves surged toward the coastline.

This is just the beginning.

One, two, ten, a hundred...

Thousands upon thousands of grotesque limbs pierced the sea surface, dancing wildly in the air and turning the area upside down.

Wherever it went, the seawater turned as black as ink, mixed with a nauseating green slime.

Those who had clung to a last glimmer of hope were now plunged into utter despair.
