Chapter 392 - 392: The Impending Tsunami (Part 3)
The troupe was becoming restless.
“Just be careful of those Metahumans. That was how Fang Yi died last time.” The leader gritted his teeth in anger.
“But didn’t we ambush the Metahumans who killed Fang Yi? In the end, we cut his head open and dug his crystal core out. We even sold it for a good price!”
Metahumans’ crystal cores were different from zombies’ crystal cores. Metahumans’ crystal cores were divided into elements. For example, the Metahuman they killed back then was a Terrakinetic, his crystal core was earthen yellow. Selling it to another Terrakinetic yielded them over two T4 crystal cores.
This was because not only could it be used to replenish energy, but it was also beneficial for their advancement!
At that time, the Terrakinetic had leveled up to Rank 2 right in front of them. In his joy, he even promised them benefits if they could find more of these crystal cores for him.
For example, the entry token to the underground city of the capital city.
That was the core of a country. Although it was still under construction, they could foresee just how big it would be. It was a place that everyone wanted to go-
However, the capacity of the underground city was only 100,000 people!
Just as they were thinking about how to get more benefits, a foreigner they had captured suddenly stood up from the corner of the weight-bearing wall.
“Dio! Questo continuo terremoto causera uno tsunami terribile: UN grande tsunami di grado 3 o superiore causera UN disastro a 300 chilometri di Costa!” (In Italian: God! These continuous earthquakes will cause terrible a tsunami. A large tsunami of magnitude 3 or above can wreck a coastline of up to 300 kilometers wide!)
“What the hell is he talking about?” When the others saw him like this, they all tensed up.
After all, they had seen how skilled he was several times. Therefore, they didn’t kill him and eat him. Instead, they protected him along the way and occasionally paid attention to his emotions because this person was a rather knowledgeable old man.
“What I’m trying to say is,” Goldman said calmly, “Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for committing all those sins?”
“Hey, old man! You still believe in those superstitions?!” They laughed shamelessly and even doubted the authority of this so-called visiting scholar.
He couldn’t even tell the difference between superstition and reality. Did he solve all those problems out of pure luck?
A man with an unusually bad temper raised his hand, wanting to show him who was boss but others stopped him. Instead, he simply drove Goldman back to the corner like rounding a chicken.
A smile appeared on the corner of Goldman’s mouth. He shrank into the corner, picked up the cross on his chest, and bowed his head to pray.
At this moment, another wave of aftershocks caused their hearts to tighten!
“This doesn’t feel right, don’t you think?”
“Go out and look!” The leader ordered.
In other parts of Jieming City, there were also people who keenly sensed something was wrong.
Uneasiness filled the air. The surroundings were abnormally quiet at times and they could hear strange sounds from afar. It was as if something huge was roaring in the distance, getting closer and closer…
Even the zombies sensed something. They suddenly turned around, dragged their legs, and ran in one direction.
“That’s so strange. What’s going on with them?”
“Are zombies afraid of earthquakes? Wait, are those crows flying in the sky?”
“Those are bats! They’re already as big as crows now! There are also sparrows, turtledoves, cuckoos, magpies… And insects! My god, what’s going on? They’re flying all over the sky!”
Behind the glass windows of the buildings, countless faces were carefully observing the outside through the glass. Their hearts thumping so hard that they could hear themselves.
“No… This is a sign of a great disaster!” An experienced old man held his walking stick and suddenly turned his head to chase all his grandchildren out.
“Hurry and run! Run as fast as you can and as far as you can! Don’t look back!” “Grandpa, what are you talking about? Let’s go together!”
“Don’t worry about me! Go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, some of the other people who had gone out were bitten by the snakes, rats, insects, and ants that were scurrying all over the ground, and they let out a shrill scream.
If this happened before all these strange happenings, the many mutated animals would have devoured the person in the blink of an eye!
However, none of the mutated animals stopped. They all seemed to have given up on their instincts and were only focused on escaping.
The old man’s grandsons shuddered in unison, and their mouths turned pale.. “What… What should we do? What should we do?”
