SSS-level catastrophe? That's my wife!

11:30am.

The Sixth Special District of Zhenbei City.

The entire region was sealed off like an iron barrel, and the deathly silence was suffocating.

The residents had all been evacuated within half a day, and the streets were deserted, with only the wind swirling fallen leaves across the cold ground.

The three central elders each led an army of awakened beings to guard the east, west, and south.

Qin Jiang led his army to defend the northern border during the day, and the eerie silence made everyone uneasy.

The Calamities under the Red King's command could have used residents as hostages, yet they remained completely silent during the evacuation.

At the northernmost point of the blockade line, a large army dressed in silver-white uniforms stood ready, their eyes gleaming with a desire to make a name for themselves.

Qin Jiang stands at the forefront.

Lou Ping and Kong Nan stood side by side behind him.

Behind the three were twenty powerful individuals exuding the aura of fifth-tier awakened beings.

Qin Jiang frowned deeply, staring at the empty street, the inexplicable palpitation in his heart growing stronger.

He had even mentally rehearsed where he and his brothers should hide when the killing came.

At that moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the earpiece, simultaneously from all directions: "The esteemed envoy has personally led his troops here. If we can hold out for another 3 hours, we will achieve a complete victory."

Qin Jiang sighed softly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible heaviness: "It seems I guessed right, the big shot behind the kingdom is coming."

Kong Nan watched his retreating figure and asked疑惑地问道, "Chief Qin Jiang, isn't this good news? Why are you sighing?"

Lou Ping echoed, "Indeed, Chief, if that one personally leads a large army to Zhenbei City, our daytime troops can avoid casualties, right?"

Qin Jiang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "There are still three hours left, and all the residents of the area have already been evacuated. Don't you think it's too quiet?"

"In the past two weeks, over a hundred of our Daytime Awakeners have gone missing, and that's even with us being extremely cautious."

He paused, then added with a strong sense of unease, "And nearly a thousand soldiers from the central army have gone missing in just half a month—that's almost a thousand Awakened Ones..."

"My eyelids started twitching the moment the crowd had left, and the inexplicable fear inside me grew stronger."

He suddenly turned around, looking at Lou Ping, Kong Nan, and the twenty figures behind him, his tone suddenly becoming serious: "Remember, no matter what happens next, you must find a way to survive. We... are too weak..."

"Chief Qin Jiang, aren't you worrying too much?"

"Leaving aside the possibility of a powerful figure from behind the scenes arriving, do you really believe that we, Bai Zhou, are truly powerless against the armies of the three elders?"

Kong Nan's doubts deepened, and the others also focused their gazes on Qin Jiang with a hint of doubt.

Qin Jiang chuckled self-deprecatingly and countered, "Then tell me, what circumstances would prompt the person behind the scenes to personally lead the army here?"

He turned around again, gripped the longsword at his waist with his right hand, sighed deeply, and a flicker of fear crossed his eyes: "The Red King is definitely still alive!"

"It may seem that we have completely sealed off the Sixth Special District, but in reality... we are the prey locked in a cage, at the mercy of others."

"Chief, even if the Red King were still alive, she really would dare..."

Before Lou Ping could finish speaking, Qin Jiang abruptly waved his hand to interrupt, because a rapid shout came through the earpiece: "The West District has been attacked by a calamity!"

Immediately afterwards, two equally urgent voices rang out: "The Eastern District has been struck by a calamity!"

"The Southern District has been struck by disaster!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Qin Jiang drew his longsword with a "whoosh," unleashing the aura of a seventh-tier initial realm expert, his roar reverberating through the night sky:

"By daytime, prepare for battle!"

"Whoosh—"

Hundreds of weapons were drawn simultaneously, and fear flashed in some people's eyes as they thought of their wives and children at home.

Some people had excitement burning in their eyes, believing that they had nothing and that only by making contributions could they change their fate, so they gripped their weapons even tighter.

"Chief, it's the other regions..."

Lou Ping's question was abruptly interrupted by a deafening roar:

"roar--"

In the pitch-black night, several S-class calamities completely shed their human form, transforming into gigantic monsters with bared fangs, and suddenly pounced with a stench.

Behind them, hundreds of figures with bloodshot eyes, their arms, torsos, and even heads twisted into monstrous shapes, their fingernails growing into sharp claws, swarmed toward the army of daylight!

"Only S-rank?" Qin Jiang relaxed his tense shoulders slightly, a slight sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

But this sense of security didn't last even a second before hundreds of gray wings suddenly exploded in mid-air, blasting towards the army with a sharp whistling sound!

"What?!"

Qin Jiang's pupils contracted sharply, and his body shot towards the front of the battle like an arrow released from a bow.

The longsword drew a silvery arc in the night, each swing accompanied by a gust of wind that tore through the air, slicing the incoming wings into pieces.

He looked up and saw a gray-tailed figure swooping down from mid-air like a falcon!

Just as the tail fin was about to strike his face, Qin Jiang parried with his sword, and a crisp metallic clang rang out.

He was jolted back several meters by the immense force, his hands went numb, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.

When he looked up, Xiong Hei's two gray tail feathers spread out behind him, his eyes were indifferent as ice, and his voice was full of disdain:

"Qinjiang in broad daylight, how weak he is."

In an instant, shouts of battle filled the air within the northern blockade, a cacophony of clashing weapons and the muffled thuds of tearing flesh.

Blood instantly soaked the earth, and the pungent smell of blood spread like a thick fog.

On the high-rise building in the southwest.

Yu Ning stood on the edge of the rooftop, and suddenly the blue tail fins bloomed behind her.

She looked down at the bloody battlefield, lightly licked her lips, and a red light of excitement flashed in her eyes—this was the kind of battle she had been waiting for!

The next second, the aura emanating from her body caused roof tiles to fall off in a flurry. She suddenly leaped down, her tail fin slicing through the night sky.

The eastern part of the region.

Blood splattered continuously in mid-air, and several jets of water shot into the sky, turning the night into an eerie aquamarine.

"Die!" Elder Shui roared, and a roaring water dragon suddenly condensed in his palm, blasting towards the two attackers!

"Boom—" The water dragon was shattered by Qiu Hu's punch. Amidst the splashing water, he grinned coldly: "Old man, the Sixth Special Zone isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"

Just as Elder Shui was about to condense a second water wall, a figure with twin tails suddenly descended from above. Liu Zhiyu's voice urged, "Chou Hu, finish this quickly! The real battle is yet to come!"

"Get him!"

Before Qiu Hu could finish speaking, he had already flashed in front of Elder Shui, and his fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, smashed through the water wall and slammed into Elder Shui's chest!
