[Humanity Alliance Emergency Notice on Initiating the Highest-Level Global Emergency Response and Activating the Safe Shelter System]
[Humanity Alliance Emergency Notice No. 1 of 2046]
“Oh, safe shelters.” Qi Yinming nodded knowingly. He was clearly reading the post at the same time.
“How do all of you know about this?” Zhu Yan asked. “How come I’m the only one who knows nothing?”
“Because we’re all avid netizens.”
Yang Zhanbai’s voice came, muffled from inside the bed curtains.
“Back when we were with the Alliance, we received training. We’d chat with the big brothers whenever we had nothing to do, and surf the internet at night.”
“Zeyu, I’m not saying this to criticize you, but you disappear during the day and vanish again at night. How have you managed to survive without group chats, games, and the internet?”
Qi Yinming added, “He never replies to private messages. He has no social life.”
“No social life,” Yang Zhanbai said solemnly.
Zhu Yan found that difficult to explain.
It was probably because the Hunter spent his nights modifying memories and his days busy setting people up.
He laughed it off and continued reading the long document.
“To the governments of all regions across the globe, the administrative bodies of all localities, all transregional organizations, and all human citizens:
“Since July 13, 2046, abnormal spatial phenomena codenamed [Frenzied Paradise Dungeons] have appeared successively across the globe. Hereinafter, these phenomena shall be referred to as ‘dungeons.’
“Following joint monitoring, consultation, and assessment by the Humanity Alliance Emergency Affairs Evaluation Committee and scientific research institutions across multiple regions worldwide, it has been confirmed that these phenomena possess an extremely high degree of uncertainty, spread, and lethality. They have therefore constituted an exceptionally grave emergency threatening the survival and security of all humanity.
“Following emergency resolutions reached by the official authorities of all regions, the [Humanity Alliance] has been temporarily established. The following decisions have now been made:
“First: Effective from the moment this notice is issued, the highest-level global emergency response shall be initiated.
“Effective immediately, the Humanity Alliance Emergency Command Center shall implement round-the-clock joint duty coverage by multiple departments. Emergency command agencies in all regions and localities shall simultaneously enter a state of maximum alert.
“Second: The Humanity Alliance shall establish a Global Emergency Command. Each region shall establish a regional emergency command on the basis of its existing official administrative structure, operating under the unified direction of the Alliance Emergency Command. Command bodies at all levels shall uphold the principles of putting the people and human life first, coordinate development with security, and improve the centralized, unified, efficient, and authoritative command system.”
Reading that sentence, Zhu Yan suddenly thought of Jin Rongxu, who had been howling and carrying on inside the dungeon.
How should he put it?
The document sounded impressive, and its vision was beautiful.
But some people really seemed to be hopelessly incompetent.
Jin Rongxu certainly had authority, but Zhu Yan doubted he could be called efficient.
“Third: The safe shelter system shall be fully activated.
“We will make use of existing underground urban spaces, large public facilities, civil defense projects, schools, stadiums, and other public sites with relatively sound basic conditions. The first batch of safe shelters worldwide has now been designated and divided into three levels: A, B, and C.
“The specific locations of the shelters will be announced simultaneously through official websites, emergency text messages, and broadcasts.
“Fourth: The following measures shall be implemented for personnel evacuation and resettlement.
“Local authorities shall organize people in affected areas to move to the nearest safe shelters according to the locations and threat levels of dungeons. Priority protection shall be provided to groups requiring assistance, including the elderly, children, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women.
“Emergency mechanisms for the allocation of supplies shall be activated at all levels. Rescue personnel, materials, and reserves shall be positioned in advance within the shelters…”
Zhu Yan began to doubt his own eyes and mind.
He lost all desire to remain in bed and pulled himself upright by gripping the bed frame.
“Is the [Humanity Alliance] planning to gather everyone in the shelters?”
He swallowed. “Won’t large dungeons still descend when they’re supposed to?”
“What happens if the entire shelter is affected?”
Yang Zhanbai let out an exasperated sigh.
“Top Player, this is what happens when you never participate in any social activity. You didn’t know, did you? The entire [Humanity Alliance] has been busy dealing with this for days.”
Qi Yinming chimed in. “Quite a few students have also told their parents about it. Some families who have the means have already set out and are planning to come here to [Xishan University].”
After thinking for a moment, he added, “I think Anwu City has decided to take people in. So many have died here over the past few days that a lot of space has opened up.”
“It’s a convenient way to ease the pressure on other regions.”
“They’ve been busy for days?” Zhu Yan asked, unable to believe it. “For days?”
“Yes, with the shelters.” Qi Yinming spoke with certainty. “The department I was assigned to can access this information. Anwu City currently has five large Class-A shelters, capable of supporting nearly one hundred thousand people for long-term survival.”
“The supplies have all arrived over the past few days, and combat teams have basically finished taking up positions at those locations.”
“When the time comes, we might be assigned there too… assuming nothing happens to [Xishan University].”
“Not necessarily,” Yang Zhanbai said.
The sound of bedding rustling came from his side. He had probably sat up as well.
“At the last small meeting held by the department I was assigned to, neither of you was there.”
Yang Zhanbai cleared his throat and adopted a comically official tone.
“[Xishan University] is a highly promising strategic stronghold of great importance. Our personnel are temporarily unable to enter. Leaving a portion of the students inside will allow us to observe the situation at any time and obtain vital strategic information and weapons for the front line through locations such as the [Nightmare Bookshop] and the [Lazybones Craft Shop].”
Zhu Yan suddenly felt the absurd disconnect of it all.
While everyone else in the [Humanity Alliance] was busy handling this crisis, were Jin Rongxu and Director Jin using a massive fortune in bone gold coins to lead an elite squad around hunting down people with personal grudges against them?
That was impressive in its own way.
“So we don’t have to go to the [Humanity Alliance]?” he asked. “The situation is this urgent. Will Jin Rongxu really just leave things alone?”
“He’s still hunting the [Hunter].” Yang Zhanbai fell silent for a moment. “The news has been tightly suppressed, but to Jin Rongxu, the [Hunter’s] actions amount to an open challenge to the entire [Humanity Alliance].”
Qi Yinming said, “The large shelters contain many players with military backgrounds. They’re well trained and can protect civilians more effectively.”
“So, in theory, they’re safer for the weak.”
Qi Yinming seemed to furrow his brow and think for a moment.
“Besides, everyone in the top ten of the school rankings should be transferred there. Zeyu, don’t count on getting out of it.”
“Oh, right. My mother is coming too. What about your parents?”
Parents.
Zhu Yan had never considered that question.
He suddenly realized that the other two people in the dormitory had parents of their own, even though neither of them had ever brought up their families.
“Uh…” A faint sense of distance washed over Zhu Yan. He hurriedly changed the subject. “My parents are overseas. They’ll find a shelter in whichever region they’re in. What about you two?”
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
