I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

What exactly are we looking for?

"Who knows what they're looking for... The higher-ups are just guessing what's in the Bohai Sea, but they're not sure what it is. Even spy satellites can't capture any images of it."

With one hand on the helm, Bell reached into his shirt pocket with the other to take another sip of whiskey, only to find it empty.

Anderson spat: "Mysterious weapon? Aliens? Or a secret base? Whatever it is, there should be a direction to search for it, right? It's one thing to not have a specific mission objective, but to give us just this beat-up speedboat? Did those damn bureaucrats in the intelligence agency embezzle all the mission funds?"

"Be content, it's good enough that they didn't let us swim directly in the sea."

Bell squinted and said, "In the past six months, we've lost count of how many people from the intelligence agency have fallen to China. The Bohai Sea is full of the Chinese navy, so we'd better keep our profile low. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of those unlucky guys... Speaking of the Chinese navy, Anderson, don't you find it a bit strange? We didn't encounter any Chinese naval personnel today."

Anderson frowned: "It seems that's true. Yesterday, when we were on the outskirts of the Bohai Bay, we encountered a Chinese Navy ship on average every thirty minutes. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been spotted by the Chinese Navy long ago. Today, we went through all sorts of hardships to get into the central waters of the Bohai Bay, but so far we haven't encountered a single Chinese Navy ship. What's going on?"

Bell, who was steering the boat, was slightly taken aback: "Wait, when did the fog come on?"

Anderson asked in confusion, "That's strange, don't you think the sky seems to be getting darker?"

At this moment, in the operations command center of the Qindao City Qianhai Base.

A soldier strode in.

"Report: The Sixth Fleet has completely withdrawn from the waters near the Gate of the World."

"it is good."

Hong Jianjun nodded slightly, then looked at the satellite image displayed on the large screen, where a terrifying energy was gradually gathering in the airspace above the sea near the Gate of the World.

The Gate to the World has remained unchanged for the past six months, but today it suddenly began to stir...

A female communications soldier in the distance received a message from the front and stood up, saying, "Reporting, sir, we received a report from the Honghai ship that they discovered a speedboat in the waters near the Gate of the World during their evacuation. There are two people on board who are suspected to be foreign spies. Should we arrest them?"

Hong Jianjun frowned slightly: "No, there's no time. The energy above the Gate of the World is about to erupt. Make them evacuate as soon as possible. As for those two spies..."

"Let's wait until they survive."

Chapter 364 Breaking News! The Gate to the World is Anomaly!

"Anderson, why do I have a bad feeling?"

Bearded Bell looked up at the thick fog and the increasingly dark surroundings, his temples beginning to throb.

"I really hope your hunch is completely wrong."

Anderson swallowed hard. "But my reason tells me you're right."

Feeling the increasing wind speed around him, Bell lowered his head while steering the speedboat to avoid the increasingly "sharp" wind blades that stung his face.

"Have we encountered a typhoon or storm?"

"Bell, I think you'd better shut your mouth and find a flight path to get out of here. Damn it, the wind is already so strong, why won't it go away?"

Anderson lowered his voice, pulled the hood of his jacket over his head, and his tone became anxious.

"Damn it, what's going on? The navigation device is malfunctioning too!"

Bell threw the compass he had pulled from his pocket onto the deck and began to turn the rudder with all his might.

"Never mind, no matter which direction, let's just break out of here!"

At this moment, in the operations command center of the Qindao City Qianhai Base.

As a series of alarms sounded, the information officer immediately reported, "Report! The energy index has reached level five!"

Hong Jianjun raised an eyebrow and said, "Level 5? Show the monitoring information on the main screen."

"Yes!"

With a series of actions by the soldiers, a satellite image taken from high altitude appeared on the largest main screen in the command room. The satellite image clearly showed a large patch of dark clouds pressing down on the World Gate and its surrounding sea area, like a dome covering the entire World Gate sea area.

Suddenly, the information officer reported again: "The energy index has started to rise rapidly, reaching level six and about to break through to level seven!"

Hong Jianjun was shocked: "Level 7...is it already close to breaking through the energy level that basic nuclear weapons can unleash?"

"Level seven... Level eight... Level nine! Commander, the energy index has reached level nine! The energy is rapidly expanding! It's about to explode!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Jianjun immediately stood up and decisively said, "Order the Sixth Fleet to retreat again, notify the coastal cities of Bohai Bay to activate emergency disaster evacuation, and at the same time, prepare the entire base for impact resistance. Also, immediately contact the Senate!"

"Yes!"

......

"Alarm, alarm, activate Emergency Plan Number One, activate Emergency Plan Number One."

As a loud alarm sounded at the Qianhai base, all the busy staff and soldiers, whether training or on patrol, sprang into action.

Li Guowei and other researchers from the West Zone 1 were also urgently evacuated from the laboratory under the escort of the soldiers.

At this moment, a huge buzzing sound resounded throughout the entire Qianhai base. Li Guowei, who had just stepped out of the laboratory, couldn't help but look up at the giant glass dome that covered the entire base. Suddenly, a huge metal protective device rose up on the east and west sides of the outer layer of the glass dome, gradually covering the entire Qianhai base, as if it were blocking out the sky.

Li Guowei didn't have much time to appreciate the awe-inspiring aspects of this industrial marvel, as they needed to rush to the refuge area.

......

Qindao City.

It was afternoon, and there were still quite a few tourists on the beach in Qindao City.

Suddenly, an air raid siren sounded from the direction of the city center.

While the tourists on the beach were still wondering what was going on, people from the nearby emergency rescue center arrived after receiving the news.

"Everyone, hurry up and get back to the city!"

One tourist asked in confusion, "What happened?"

A staff member at the rescue center said anxiously, "We just received a warning from the meteorological department that a tsunami may hit the Bohai Bay area. All personnel in the coastal areas must immediately return to the city."

"What? A tsunami?"

"Everyone, run!"

......

In the capital city, in the Senate, the Grand Elder had just hung up an emergency communication from the Qianhai Base in Qindao City.

"Jianbang".

The office door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, wearing glasses and a rather capable-looking Zhongshan suit, walked in.

"Grand Elder".

How is the evacuation of people from the coastal areas of the Bohai Bay progressing?

"The evacuation is basically complete."

The Grand Elder nodded.

"The energy burst caused by this World Gate anomaly is very large and will definitely be detected by other countries. For the past six months, both domestically and internationally, they have been trying to launch a large-scale propaganda offensive. This is also an opportunity for them to raise the vigilance of the cyber departments and take countermeasures if necessary."

"Yes."

The middle-aged man left.

The Grand Elder sighed slightly, but then his gaze became incredibly sharp.

The secret of the Gate to the World will eventually be discovered by other countries in the world. It is unknown how long China can keep it a secret. However, when the Gate to the World is discovered, China will inevitably face enormous public opinion pressure, joint and crazy economic sanctions, and even military threats from certain Western countries and groups.

Whether China will succumb to this immense pressure and decline, or whether it will shock the world and forever rewrite the global landscape, depends on the Teyvat exploration fleet.

......

At this moment, on the Teyvat continent, at the headquarters of the Pan-Chinese Teyvat Organization, Ivan, who was in the laboratory learning about the latest space technology, also received a notification from Xu Donghai.

"What? Something's wrong with the Gate of the World?"

Xu Donghai on the other end of the phone said, "Yes, I am currently at the Wangfengjiao monitoring station with Ms. Qin and others. If possible, please direct you to come over as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Ivan immediately left Mondstadt and headed for Windlook.

Cape Windsor is located directly above Cape Windsor Beach. It is a high cliff. Originally, there was only one ocean watchtower here, which was built by Mondstadt in its early years. Before Ivan and his group arrived, it was guarded by dedicated personnel all year round. Now, with the help of China, it has been expanded into an ocean monitoring station, guarded by personnel dispatched by the Knights of Favonius.

When Ivan arrived at the Wangfengjiao monitoring station, Xu Donghai and Qin had already been waiting there for a long time.

As soon as Ivan entered, he asked, "What happened?"

Qin said, "The Knights received a report from the monitoring station personnel an hour ago that an unidentified storm was gathering in the northeastern waters of Mondstadt. I then notified Captain Xu, and after verification, it was confirmed that an anomaly was occurring in the waters of the World Gate."

Xu Donghai added, "The energy detection equipment detected that the energy in the World Gate sea area has become very unstable."

Ivan frowned and asked, "What about the rear areas of China? What's the situation there?"

Xu Donghai shook his head and said, "Our communications with the rear have been disrupted."

"How strange."

Ivan stood in the monitoring station's lobby, squinting as he looked out the window at the vast expanse of dark clouds gathering on the horizon.

"The Gate to the World has been stable since its appearance, but now this strange phenomenon is suddenly occurring..."

After a moment's thought, Ivan said to Xu Donghai, "Until we know what will happen, let the nearby fleets take cover for now."

"I hope nothing bad happens..."

Chapter 365 Unlucky Guy

Blue Star, the Director's Office, the central building of the M Country Intelligence Agency.

A flurry of footsteps sounded at the door, disturbing Director Spencer's sweet dream as he slept on the office sofa.

"Damn bastard, come in."

Spencer grumbled angrily, then picked up a handkerchief from the table and wiped his smooth bald spot.

I woke up from a long dream, covered in sweat, and had no idea what I had dreamt about.

The office door opened, and the female secretary poked her head in.

"Oh, it's Jenny. What's up?"

"Director, Mr. Sander, the head of the executive department, said he has something important to discuss with you."

Spencer nodded and said, "Let him in."
