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

"Yes."

Jenny closed the office door, and in the meantime, Spencer put on his shoes and straightened his tie.

A dozen seconds later, the office door was pushed open again, and a man who looked to be in his forties appeared in the doorway.

"Director."

Spencer beckoned, and Sander closed the door and came in.

"Sander, Jenny just said you needed to speak to me urgently?"

Sander nodded: "Director, there's been some activity in the Bohai Bay area of ​​China."

Spencer, who was still a little dazed from being interrupted on the water, immediately sobered up upon hearing this.

"What did you say? The Chinese have made a move?"

Sander said, "It's still unclear whether it's the Chinese making a move or something else, but in any case, we've detected very strong abnormal energy fluctuations in the Bohai Bay area at our bases in Okinawa and Busan."

Spencer squinted and rubbed the stubble on his chin.

"What is China doing? Is it really testing some kind of new weapon? What about the satellites? Have they captured anything?"

Sander said helplessly, "Our satellites have been blocked for a long time. For the past six months, our satellites have been subject to signal interference whenever they pass through Chinese airspace."

Spencer frowned. "Where are the agents? Where are the spies?"

Sander coughed awkwardly: "As you know, the Chinese are extremely strict about secrecy. Our agents and spies planted in China are either discovered or can't even enter the country. Right now, we only have two people operating within China, and both of them lost contact with headquarters a few hours ago."

"waste."

Spencer pointed at Sander's nose and cursed, "Are all of you in the Executive Department incompetent? Six months have passed, and you still can't even do a proper reconnaissance mission. What use are you people to the intelligence agency?"

Sander harbored resentment but dared not retaliate.

Their intelligence agency's executive division was invincible anywhere on the planet, except in China—their nemesis. They always ran into trouble. China's security agency was like a cat crouching at the door of a mouse hole. Over the years, nine out of ten intelligence messages that the intelligence agency sent to China were intercepted by the security agency halfway through. The only one that was sent back was not used by the intelligence agency because they were unsure whether it was information that the security agency had deliberately "leaked." They had suffered many losses in this regard.

Spencer only stopped after hurling insults for more than a minute.

"Alright, go and find a way to contact the media immediately to put pressure on China. Public opinion is also a way to attack, and we can't miss such an opportunity."

"Yes."

Sander nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Chief, should we still try to contact those two people we have in China to get information?"

Spencer frowned and said, "You're the head of the executive department, and you're asking me something as trivial as this?"

After saying that, Spencer thought for a moment, then waved his hand and added, "If they can't be contacted, they've probably been arrested by the Chinese security bureau. Let's delete their files."

At this moment, the two unfortunate souls, far across the ocean in the Bohai Sea of ​​China, were unaware that they had already "died."

Of course, even if you told them this, they wouldn't be in the mood to care about it right now, because they might really be about to die.

In a physical sense.

"Bell, you fucking drive faster!"

"That's already at maximum power!"

In the thick fog, where people and animals were indistinguishable just five meters away, Bearded Bell struggled to control the rudder, and the speedboat's engine was running at full power.

Although doing so would increase fuel consumption, potentially leaving them with not enough fuel to return to land, who cares about that now? If they can't get back to land, they'll just starve to death, which will at least prolong their lives by a couple of days. If they can't get through this thick fog, they'll end up as fish food in the sea.

Although the fog was so thick that nothing could be seen, the thunderous roars coming from all directions, comparable to missiles exploding right next to their ears, were no joke. Moreover, as the wind speed increased, the sea began to churn. If a tsunami were to occur, their small speedboat would be no different from a leaf in the ocean.

Just then, Bell wiped the seawater off his face and suddenly said, "Anderson, I'm sorry."

Anderson, gripping the seat tightly in the back to avoid being thrown off the ship, asked, "Sorry about what? Sorry for not taking me away from here?"

"No."

Bell paused for a moment: "I shouldn't have gotten involved with your mother last year..."

Anderson was stunned for a moment, then immediately roared in fury, "What? You and my mom? You bastard, when did this happen?!"

"Last summer, when we were on vacation together at the beach... your mother is a charming woman, and your father has been gone for many years..."

"You bastard, it's none of your business to comfort my mother even though my father is dead!"

Anderson roared, "Fine, since we're all going to die anyway, I'll tell you something: I slept with your wife."

The speedboat, which was moving along, suddenly came to a stop with a whoosh. Bell turned around and looked at Anderson with bloodshot eyes.

"What the hell did you say?"

Anderson sneered: "About six months ago, when you went out on a mission, your wife took the initiative to seduce me, and ever since then we've been going out to have fun every weekend."

"You fucking bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

With a roar, Bell lunged at Anderson. Just then, a thunderous sound, loud enough to shatter one's brains, rang out. The next second, the sea suddenly churned, and accompanied by heart-wrenching screams, a waterspout violently swept the speedboat and Bell and Anderson into the sky.

At this moment, in the command room of the Qianhai base, the red alarm dots began flashing frantically.

"Energy has erupted! Prepare for the impact!"

Outside the Windwatch monitoring station in Teyvat, Mondstadt, Ivan put down his binoculars.

On the distant sea, several waterspouts swirled around the thick fog surrounding the Gate of the World, their extent so vast that they could be seen without binoculars.

Seeing this, Ivan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is the gate to the world expanding?

Chapter 366 Something Big Is About to Happen

"game over."

Xiao Liang threw the game controller aside in frustration and lay down on the bed.

"Died again, this level is way too hard..."

After making a brief complaint, a rumbling sound from his stomach reached Xiao Liang's ears.

Xiao Liang then realized that he had been so engrossed in playing games that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he got up and left his room.

Inside the living room, Xiao Liang's mother was already on the sofa, peeling an apple while watching TV. A melodramatic drama was playing, and it was currently at the climax of the plot, which Xiao Liang's mother was watching intently.

"Mom, is there any food left?"

"There's cake and bread in the fridge. You're really something, kid. Even though your school's on holiday, don't just stay cooped up in your room playing video games all the time. You're skipping lunch, are you planning to skip dinner too?"

"Okay, okay, I'll eat my dinner properly tonight."

Xiao Liang took a bottle of yogurt and a slice of bread from the kitchen refrigerator. Just as she was about to walk through the living room back to her room, her mother, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey? What's going on? The plot is at its climax, why did you suddenly change the channel?"

Hearing his mother's harsh tone, Xiao Liang looked up and realized that the melodramatic drama on TV had been replaced with a live news broadcast.

"Son, I'm holding an apple and can't free my hands, can you check if our remote control is broken?"

Xiao Liang walked over, picked up the remote control next to the TV, and pressed it twice. However, the picture on the TV did not change. Then Xiao Liang noticed a line of words in the corner.

Emergency news broadcast interrupted.

"Mom, this is a news broadcast from Qindao City. It's not on the remote control anymore; all the TV stations are broadcasting this now."

"Oh well, I was planning to watch the finale of that TV series, but it looks like I'll have to watch it online later."

With the matter resolved, Xiao Liang was about to return to his room to continue playing games when the words of the news anchor on TV suddenly caught his attention.

"Abnormally strong winds have occurred in the Bohai Bay area. Experts predict that this weather event could potentially trigger a large-scale tsunami. To avoid unnecessary casualties and property damage, coastal residents of the Bohai Bay area who have not yet evacuated are urged to evacuate as soon as possible. Residents of coastal cities are advised to stay home and avoid going out..."

"Son, isn't your school suddenly closed for the holiday today because of this?"

Xiao Liang nodded somewhat blankly.

"We're in the northern part of Qindao City, not too close to the coastline. If a tsunami were to occur, it shouldn't affect this area..."

Xiao Liang's mother said with some concern, then, still a little uneasy, she put the apple on the coffee table, got up, went to the living room, and picked up the landline.

"I need to call your dad right away and tell him to come home early today..."

After returning to his room, Xiao Liang didn't feel like playing games anymore. Instead, he stood in front of his window and looked south.

At this moment, the weather outside was gloomy and raining heavily. Even though he was far from the coastline, Xiao Liang could still see the dark clouds looming over the distant sea and sky between the city buildings.

"Could it be that those legends are all true?"

Xiao Liang muttered to himself.

Six months ago, Qindao City became the center of a storm of public opinion at home and abroad for various reasons. As a student of Qindao No. 3 Middle School, Xiao Liang naturally knew about the various rumors circulating on the Internet.

For example, rumors about aliens and weapons experiments, although these were later officially debunked, the nature of a teenager made him and his friends at school more willing to believe that those exciting things were the truth.

Now, strange weather has suddenly appeared in the Bohai Bay area, which makes the boy even more curious.

A slight thought crossed Xiao Liang's mind.

How about we call up a few of our best buddies and sneak out to the beach for a look?

......

At this moment, in the center of the Bohai Bay, near the Gate of the World.

Dark clouds, as dark as a collapsing city, divided the sky and the sea into two worlds.

Blinding flashes of light roared continuously in the dark clouds, and countless waterspouts hovered at the edge of the fog, shuttling back and forth in the mist, stirring the seawater to boil and churn.

Suddenly, everything stopped, as if all things had fallen into a state of calm.

It's like a sprinter waiting for the starting gun to fire before the final sprint.

That moment of silence was not a return to stillness, but rather the final calm before the storm.

With a deafening roar, a flash of light, like the sun, tore through the clouds that stretched across the sky, as if a million bombs had exploded.

The starting gun fired!

Centered on the sea area of ​​the Gate of the World, the sea level in all directions suddenly tilted and dropped, just like a giant stone was thrown into the ocean, creating ripples. But these ripples were actually tsunamis that could swallow mountains and destroy dams.

The surging tsunami pressed towards the coastal areas and the deep sea.

Inside the command center of the Qianhai base, a piercing alarm sounded, followed by a roar, and the reinforced glass in the command center began to tremble incessantly.

The command center was sturdy and served as a refuge, so the people inside did not evacuate.

The Qianhai base is located on the seabed. Although it does not have to withstand the impact of tsunamis, it still has to withstand the energy impact generated by the anomalies of the Gate of the World. This energy is comparable to that of nuclear weapons.
