I just got divorced, and a rich and beautiful woman dragged me to get a marriage certificate.

How many people will die?

Although she had seen many earthquake news reports online, Liu Xin had never actually experienced an earthquake.

Therefore, Liu Xin couldn't predict how many people would die in this massive earthquake in Tokyo.

Chen Mo glanced at the ravaged city beneath his feet:

"Given Tokyo's population size and density, a rough estimate is at least over a million!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin gasped in shock: "Over a million people? That's too tragic..."

The deadliest earthquake in human history was the 1556 Huaxian earthquake in Shaanxi, China, also known as the Jiajing earthquake, which caused approximately 83 deaths!

83 is terrifying! But it's not over a million!

The number of deaths in this earthquake definitely exceeded one million!

"That's not even the worst part!"

Chen Mo continued, "What's truly terrifying is the series of disasters that follow the earthquake."

Liu Xin was startled and turned to look at Chen Mo: "Old Chen, you mean...?"

Chen Mo's gaze swept from Tokyo Bay to Mount Fuji, then back to the city, his tone flat:

"Such a large-scale earthquake will inevitably trigger a tsunami, and there's a high probability that the nuclear power plants along the Tokyo Bay coast will experience leaks!"

"besides!"

"It could also cause fires, such as gas pipeline ruptures, electrical short circuits, and chemical plant explosions... The fire could quickly get out of control."

"Following this, power, communication, transportation, and water supply systems will be largely paralyzed!"

"The entire city will be plunged into darkness, with no water, no food, and no rescue."

"By then, people will die of hunger, disease, and thirst..."

"It could kill far more people than the earthquake itself!"

Liu Xin swallowed hard.

He wasn't a soft-hearted person, especially when it came to ordinary people; he had little sympathy for them.

But seeing countless people struggling to survive in the ruins was so impactful that it made his scalp tingle.

"What about Old Chen... what do we do?" Liu Xin's voice was hoarse. "Should we save him?"

Chen Mo glanced at him, her tone calm: "Save them? We're small and weak, outnumbered and powerless. How many people can we save?"

"What we can do now is to post the tragic scene here online so that netizens can know about it."

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, and grinned, "Old Chen, you're really cunning and sly..."

"but……"

"I like it!"

As Liu Xin spoke, she took out her phone, but when the screen lit up, the signal bars were empty.

Liu Xin tried refreshing the page, but there was still no response.

"No signal? The internet's down too?"

Liu Xin tried a few more times, but finally gave up completely.

Most of Tokyo's communication base stations were destroyed in the earthquake.

Forget about going online, I can't even make a phone call.

"Since we can't do a live stream, we can only shoot some footage!" Liu Xin suggested.

Then.

Chen Mo and Liu Xin circled over Tokyo.

Chen Mo was in charge of flying.

Liu Xin was in charge of filming.

The film depicts broken high-rise buildings, collapsed highways, fires, and a column of volcanic ash shooting straight into the sky in the direction of Mount Fuji.

It took Liu Xin more than an hour to take thousands of photos and hundreds of videos.

Looking at the numerous documents on her phone, Liu Xin nodded: "That's enough, we can go back now!"

Just as Chen Mo was about to turn and leave, a cold wind suddenly blew in from afar.

It was chilly, with an indescribable coldness!

Liu Xin shivered and shrank her neck: "What's going on? Why is it so cold?"

Chen Mo was incredibly sensitive to temperature changes and instantly pinpointed the source of the cold wind.

In the direction of Mount Fuji!

"Let's go take a look!"

Chen Mo, carrying Liu Xin, flew towards Mount Fuji.

From afar, the two witnessed an incredibly bizarre scene:

Because of the earthquake, Mount Fuji has been split into several pieces.

Huge cracks extend from the crater all the way to the foot of the mountain, like hideous wounds.

Logically speaking...

Mount Fuji is erupting, and what is gushing out of the fissures is probably molten lava.

But the truth is...

It's not lava!

It's black water!

The surging black water gushed out from the cracked mountain and flowed in all directions.

The black water was extremely dark in color, with a layer of oily, cold luster on its surface.

The strangest thing is!

Wherever the black water flows, everything is melting away!

Trees, weeds, vehicles, houses, even the asphalt on the road and the rock strata underground...

Everything dissolved silently in the black water, vanished completely, and became part of the black water itself.

After the black water flowed over, the ground was as smooth as a mirror, leaving nothing behind.

Even more bizarrely...

Wherever the black water passed, the air temperature plummeted, the ground frosted over, and everything was frozen.

Some objects that had not yet melted were enveloped by the cold air, and a layer of grayish-white ice quickly condensed on their surface.

Liu Xin stared in disbelief, muttering to herself:

"Old Chen... what... what the hell is going on?"

Chen Mo ignored Liu Xin; he was also shocked.

"This is... Gonggong's True Water? How is this possible?"

Liu Xin leaned closer, looking completely bewildered: "Gonggong True Water? What is that?"

Chen Mo stared at the surging black water and slowly spoke:

"Gonggong True Water is the innate divine power of the ancient water god, Gonggong!"

"The water flows from the deepest abyss, its chill penetrating to the bone; all things that touch it melt away, and all spirits are frozen in its presence!"

"Its nature is extremely cold and yin, incomparable to ordinary water!"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness North Classic, records: 'On Gonggong's platform, archers dared not face north.' This refers to this kind of water."

Liu Xin was stunned, and it took him several seconds to react: "If it's the divine power of the ancient water god Gonggong, why would it appear here?"

"I don't know either!" Chen Mo shook his head.

Liu Xin swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "Should we go closer and take a look?"

"Can!"

Chen Mo carried Liu Xin and flew towards Mount Fuji, stopping a few kilometers from the crater.

If he got any closer, the chill emanating from the black water was already too much for Liu Xin to bear.

Chen Mo told Liu Xin to stay where she was and approached alone, arriving above Mount Fuji.

Then, he released his spiritual power, following the flow of the black water, and went deep into the depths of Mount Fuji.

After his mental strength reached 8000 points, Chen Mo's perception range could cover an area of ​​80 kilometers, and penetrating deep into the mountains was even easier.

Keep going down!

Finally, 12 kilometers deep beneath Mount Fuji, Chen Mo found the source of the black water.

His breath hitched, and his expression was priceless.

A corpse!

It was an enormous serpentine body, coiled up in a lava cave deep within Mount Fuji.

The snake's body was covered with black scales, each one as large and thick as a shield.

A row of sharp bone spurs ran along its back from head to tail, gleaming with a chilling light.

How long is a snake's body?

Roughly estimated... it's at least over 800 meters.

The strangest thing is its head, not a snake's head.

It was a human head!
