Since the Kuroshio Current descended upon the world three years ago.

Cities around the world are being swallowed by the black tide. The swallowed human cities are enveloped in a layer of black mist, like a giant black bowl tightly covering the city.

The city swallowed by the black tide can only enter but not leave, whether from the sky, underground or by river, whether it is a person, animal or machine.

Once you enter the Kuroshio Current's area, you can never get out.

And in the three years since the Kuroshio Current appeared.

The Kuroshio Current does not occur frequently, nor does it cover a large area. Moreover, apart from the cities it swallows, the Kuroshio Current is like a natural phenomenon and has no impact on the outside world.

But just two months ago.

A massive black tide suddenly appeared across the globe!

Large and small black tides appeared in human settlements, swallowing up a large number of human cities in one fell swoop and causing about one-tenth of the human population to disappear.

Even cities with tens of millions of inhabitants were shrouded in the black tide, and not a single person in the city ever emerged from it!

Since then, the number and frequency of the Kuroshio Current have suddenly become more concentrated, although the range is not large, but there is no pattern to it.

Peng Long stood on the command platform, looking at Shaluo County shrouded in a huge black tide in the distance, his face extremely solemn.

The appearance of the Kuroshio Tide is not actually scary; what is truly terrifying is the unknown.

Up until now.

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have been swallowed by the Black Tide, but no one has yet emerged from it.

The most terrifying thing is that no news even comes from the Black Tide!

"Hezhou, what exactly is in this Black Tide?" Peng Long asked a young officer standing ramrod straight beside him, with thick eyebrows and large eyes.

He Zhou shook his head with a serious expression.

"have no idea."

"Perhaps it's an alien planet, perhaps it's just some unknown natural phenomenon in the universe, perhaps it leads to the end of the world, perhaps it's a parallel universe from another world..."

"However, recently, a large number of accidental deaths have begun to occur across the country, which should be related to the Kuroshio Current."

"Since the last major black tide, people across the country have been dying mysteriously, and the deaths are extremely gruesome, with a strong regional pattern."

"Near Kuroshio Ward 96, all the residents of a building have hanged themselves... In Shelter 871, people disappear as soon as they enter the room in the farthest corner... In room 309 of the Lijiang Hotel, someone is trapped inside a mirror."

"In addition, strange phenomena have also appeared at some famous scenic spots and historical sites across the country."

"The Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain has been struck by lightning for two months; the Leshan Giant Buddha is surrounded by Buddhist chants; and there are also the Longmen Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Qinglian Temple, Jade Emperor Temple, Jinci Temple, and the Holy Mother Hall..."

"These supernatural phenomena seem to be foreshadowing something."

Hezhou looked at Shaluo County, which was shrouded in the black tide in the distance, and continued.

"A few days ago, a huge shouting sound came from Shaluo County. We have confirmed repeatedly that it was not a hallucination!"

"This is the first time in the world that a sound has been heard coming from the Kuroshio Current; it has never happened before. Even people overseas have received the news and are rushing over!"

"The higher-ups speculate that Shaluo County might be the breakthrough point!"

This is the first time that humans have obtained information from the Black Tide, and they are speaking the Da Xia language, so the other party is most likely human.

This also means that there are living people inside the Kuroshio!

This can be considered the biggest discovery in the world in three years!

After hearing Hezhou's words, Peng Long sighed.

"I hope so. I always have a feeling that there's something dangerous lurking in this black tide. I hope I'm just being paranoid."

Hezhou did not refute it; in fact, he felt the same way.

but……

"Commander Peng, the Black Tide is constantly encroaching on the human world. According to the statistics above, if this rate continues, at most 50% of the world's cities will be swallowed up by the Black Tide within five years."

"Although our Great Xia is taking over at a slower rate than other countries, it will still lose at least 40% of its territory."

"Furthermore, according to our research on the Black Tide, its engulfment is based on people. Even if everyone flees the city, wherever people gather, the Black Tide may still descend!"

"Commander Peng, do you know what this means?"

He Zhou's expression grew increasingly grim as he spoke, his fingers gripping the documents in his hand tightly.

"This means that no matter where we flee, half the world's population will disappear in five years!"

"Our Great Xia will lose at least 5 to 6 million people to the Black Tide!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Long felt his body stiffen and instinctively closed his eyes.

He Zhou continued, "Commander Peng, humanity has reached a critical juncture, and the third phase of Project Spark has been fully launched!"

"The above means that we must obtain information about the Black Tide at all costs, regardless of whether it is good or bad."

"Ignorance is the most terrifying thing!"

"Only by breaking through this black tide and understanding what's inside can we make the right decision!"

Peng Long closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and his voice trembled.

"I understand. In three hours, I will personally select a thousand of the most elite vanguard troops and send them into Shaluo County."

"Luo Li, go and inform the logistics department. No matter what method they use, I need to see 100 cases of Moutai in three hours!"

"Sending off my soldiers."

……

Three hours later.

It is 30 kilometers outside of Shaluo County.

Tens of thousands of troops are assembling.

Peng Long and He Zhou stood on the stage, while thousands of people sat neatly below, all in perfect order, without making a sound.

These are all elites selected by Peng Long, each of whom is a veteran who has followed him for more than ten years.

"Gentlemen, you've heard Major General He's words: we must enter this Black Tide!"

"Bring the wine!"

"Drink this strong liquor, and we'll meet again at the Martyrs' Cemetery!"

All the soldiers picked up their wine glasses, drank them down in one gulp, and then forcefully threw them to the ground.

Peng Long took the red flowers and personally hung them on everyone, and then personally lit a cigarette for each soldier.

……

An hour later.

Thousands of fully armed people began to leave the main force and slowly headed towards the Kuroshio River in Shaluo County.

In the command center.

Peng Long looked at the troops preparing to enter Shaluo County on the screen, his face full of reluctance.

Those who entered the Black Tide never came out; no one knew whether they were dead or alive. If he had a choice, he definitely wouldn't want his soldiers to enter this hellish place!

"Commander Peng." He Zhou suddenly came to the command room and stood in front of Peng Long, holding some documents in his hand.

"We've found out who Yuan Yi is. There's an ancient temple in Shaluo County with a history of over a thousand years. It's said that a highly accomplished monk named Master Yuan Yi once lived in that temple."

"The Yoriichi who emerged from the Kuroshio Current must be the monk Yoriichi of Koko-ji Temple, and his golden statue is also in Koko-ji!"
