World Disasters

Ocean waves swept across the entire world.

From an initial height of a hundred zhang, they had swelled to a thousand zhang, surging toward every corner of the globe.

"Maximum Alert! Eagle Island is experiencing a thousand-zhang tsunami, unprecedented in recorded history. The highest level of evacuation warning has been implemented, and damages are incalculable!"

"Breaking News! A super tsunami has appeared off the coast of the Mulu Nation. An unclassifiable typhoon has made landfall. A nationwide highest-level evacuation notice has been issued, and power and transportation networks are completely paralyzed!"

"Emergency Notice! A super tsunami, the likes of which has never been seen in history, is about to make landfall. Coastal residents must evacuate immediately..."

...

In his office, Captain Hao listened to the various news broadcasts on his phone. Speechless, he tossed the phone aside, a look of extreme annoyance on his face.

"The world is getting more and more ridiculous these days!"

"The rampant Phantom Spirits were already causing enough trouble. We finally managed to control the situation and stabilize the citizens' lives. These TV stations really just want to watch the world burn. To think they're letting all sorts of fake news fly around—they have absolutely no morals!"

"They'll say anything to grab people's attention! Do they even know what a thousand-zhang tsunami means? What a load of nonsense!"

The more he watched, the angrier he got.

Captain Hao stood up abruptly and stood by the window with his hands behind his back, looking thoroughly irritated.

Waiting anxiously for news about that terrifying entity was agonizing enough. He had opened his phone for the first time in a while just to relieve some stress, only to be met with a pile of garbage news. It made his blood boil.

Just as he was feeling frustrated.

He suddenly noticed that the subordinates of the Investigation Bureau outside the glass window had all started to scramble. Everyone was running around frantically, as if they had encountered some massive disaster.

Captain Hao was a man of rich experience, yet he had never seen such a scene before.

Involuntarily, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Could it be..."

"Is that terrifying entity outside the city really a formidable enemy from an alien race? Did it break into the city limits today?!"

At this thought, he grew tense and hurriedly picked up the desk phone to call his secretary.

However.

Just as he picked up the receiver, his secretary barged into the office in a mad rush!

"Head Captain!"

"Something terrible has happened! We just received..."

Before the secretary could finish, the Head Captain reprimanded him with a cold glare!

"What is with this panic? Where are your manners!"

"Even if that terrifying alien race has entered the city, our entire Demon Hunting Department..."

But halfway through his authoritative scolding, the secretary forcefully interrupted him!

"We received a message from the General Bureau!"

"Thousand-zhang tsunamis have erupted all over the world! In less than an hour, an unprecedented disaster will sweep across the coastal regions of every continent. The General Bureau has ordered us to immediately dispatch personnel and rush to the coast at once!"

The almost roaring voice left the Head Captain stunned, his eyes wide.

Suspicion, astonishment, and shock!

In just a few breaths, his expression changed drastically, and he took a large stride forward in disbelief!

"What!"

"There really is a thousand-zhang tsunami?!"

Without waiting for the trembling secretary to reply, he hastily snatched the document and scrutinized it. Just a rough scan made his eyes twitch violently!

"Sudden massive changes in the Taitian Ocean; sea levels have surged by a thousand meters!"

"The waves are continuously spreading, striking coastlines all over the world!"

"Ten minutes ago, the island nation known for its comfortable livelihood was completely submerged!"

"It is estimated that in less than half an hour, an apocalyptic tsunami surpassing anything recorded in human civilization will make landfall along our country's coastal regions. All branches of the Demon Hunting Department are urgently ordered to immediately dispatch personnel for rapid reinforcement. Rush to the nearest coast at all costs. Violators will be dealt with under military law!"

...

Merely skimming the contents of the document left Captain Hao so terrified that his entire body went weak. He slumped heavily onto the sofa, his glasses trembling off his face and falling to the floor in his panic!

His lips quivered as he muttered continuously, his face completely drained of color!

"This... this... this!"

"There really is an apocalyptic tsunami... how is this possible!"

"Hurry and report this up! Quickly relay the orders! Command all captain-level elites to rush to the coast immediately. Anyone who dares to delay for even a second will be executed on the spot!!!"

Even though he was scared out of his wits, his roar to execute the orders came without a moment's hesitation!

Captain Hao had always been extremely composed in the past. It could be said that he wouldn't bat an eye even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Even if a truly terrifying creature charged into the city, he would be able to steady the morale of his troops and command them. He would not waver, even if it meant sacrificing his life to protect the citizens.

However.

He never expected that what he had just assumed to be fake news was actually a disaster happening in reality!

That was a thousand-zhang tsunami!

A natural disaster of this scale sweeping across the entire world had never occurred since the dawn of civilization. It was affecting every region almost simultaneously. The resulting casualties and damages were already incalculable; even the Ice Age could hardly compare!

It was no exaggeration to say that this was an apocalyptic catastrophe!

This sudden global disaster was simply too violent and abrupt. No one had the ability or the time to deal with it, and avoiding it was nothing more than a pipe dream!

The only thing they could do now was to pay the highest price to reduce the casualties to the best of their abilities. As for the consequences, they were already too dreadful to contemplate!

If even Captain Hao felt such profound despair, the secretary was naturally scared stiff. His roaring report just now was entirely driven by duty and faith, which had helped him overcome his momentary terror.

At this moment, he was completely paralyzed.

Seeing him like this, Captain Hao flew into a rage, jumping to his feet and roaring!

"Bastard!"

"Hurry up and relay the message! Send out all the bureau's elites for reinforcement right now!!!"

This shout echoed through almost the entire Investigation Bureau.

The secretary finally snapped out of it, answering with a difficult, trembling voice.

"The higher-ups have already issued the orders!"

Hearing this, Captain Hao managed to suppress his murderous rage. However, he didn't dare to take even a moment to catch his breath. He quickly opened various communication channels, pressing his ear close to wait for updates!

Seeing his intense, world-collapsing level of nervousness, the secretary was too terrified to make another sound.

He could only stand quietly to the side, asking anxiously in a barely audible voice.

"C-C-Captain, what should we d-do? Is there any way we can help the coast!"

Hearing the voice.

Captain Hao's eyes darkened. He clenched his fists tightly for a few seconds, his face turning ashen!

"In the face of such a global disaster, we are completely powerless..."

"All we can do now is pray silently, hoping that the heavens will show mercy and protect our coastal citizens. If we can just have fewer casualties, that would already be a great blessing."

Hearing these sorrowful words, the secretary collapsed completely onto the floor.

He looked over quietly with immense solemnity, only to see that the Head Captain, who was usually so extraordinarily imposing, now had dim eyes. He seemed to be enveloped by despair and guilt, cold sweat rolling down his face!

Just as the captain had said.

In the face of such a world-class disaster, no matter how powerful a person was, they were ultimately nothing more than an ant. Even if demon-hunting elites from all over were dispatched to rush there, it would merely be a drop in the bucket.

Before heaven and earth, humanity was always too insignificant.

Unless gods truly existed in this world, no one could change the endless casualties that were about to come.

At this moment.

Not only did Pingjiang City fall into a deathly silence, but humanity all over the world was enveloped by an overwhelming terror. Their long-lost reverence for nature had been thoroughly awakened!
