Chapter 053 Little Turtle Karak
749 Vault.
"Son, dinner's ready."
Hearing the noise, Lin Bei ended his meditation and opened his eyes a few seconds later.
My parents were sitting across from me.
On the floor in front of him were three plates containing some simple food:
A serving of rice, a few slices of luncheon meat, some kimchi, half a cucumber, and a bowl of clear tofu soup.
This food is comparable to the army meals of South Korea in my previous life.
However, in a place like a shelter, being able to have a hot meal is already a blessing.
Lin Bei picked up his plate and began to eat heartily.
"I want to eat meat!"
Not far away, a child was complaining about the food and making a scene, only to be caught and given a good beating by his parents...
After lunch.
The A5 area has returned to quiet.
A whole morning passed, and still no news came.
Many people looked anxious and uneasy, constantly checking their phones, wanting to know what was happening outside...
Lin Bei glanced at his parents.
Lin Qiqiang, the father, remained relatively calm. After all, he was a fishmonger who had been traveling around for many years and had seen his share of ups and downs.
Gao Lan, the mother, showed obvious anxiety on her face.
"Breaking news!"
Suddenly, someone held up their phone and shouted, "The monster horde has been successfully stopped off the coast! Haicheng is safe!"
"Very good!"
"I knew it! How could a mere Level 2 alien beast calamity possibly breach Haicheng's defenses?"
"I saw it too; it's reliable news released by official media!"
"Long live Dongxia!"
The crowd cheered.
Lin Bei went online to take a look.
That news was indeed released by official media.
The message is simple and powerful: the beast tide has been intercepted, the defenses of Haicheng are solid, and citizens need not panic.
"strangeness……"
Lin Bei frowned slightly.
If the beast tide is so easy to deal with, why organize an emergency evacuation for the entire city?
This is not a drill.
Leaving aside the economic losses, the human and material resources required to organize this evacuation alone amount to an astronomical figure.
"Those in charge are true elites; they would never make such a brainless decision. There must be something else going on behind this monster disaster..."
Lin Bei took a deep breath, thinking to himself, "I'm afraid this is just the beginning."
He greeted his parents, closed his eyes, and continued meditating.
Before we knew it, it was dinnertime.
The shelter staff not only brought dinner but also distributed a blanket to everyone.
Upon seeing the blanket, everyone's heart sank.
This means they won't be able to go home tonight and will have to spend the night in the shelter.
……
The sea outside Haicheng.
The battle fleet, consisting of twelve steel warships, had now dispersed into a circular formation, tightly surrounding the area where the seabed fissure was located.
Fleet flagship, command center.
"Report to the commander: All the alien beasts that emerged from the wormhole have been eliminated."
The detection results show that the wormhole currently has a diameter of 113.7 meters, and based on energy fluctuation analysis, it is continuing to expand. It is predicted that within the next 48 hours, the diameter will expand from 100 meters to over 300 meters…
It is not recommended to send people close to explore until the wormhole is completely stable!
A young staff officer is loudly reporting the battle situation to a holographic projection.
The middle-aged man in the black trench coat stood in front of the command platform, his hands behind his back, staring intently at the constantly rotating black vortex on the holographic projection.
"Three hundred meters..."
The middle-aged man muttered to himself, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
With a diameter exceeding 300 meters, it has reached the level of a medium-sized wormhole.
Based on past experience, wormholes of this level are large enough to accommodate Silver-level alien beasts.
A silver-level beast is equivalent to a martial arts grandmaster at the Four Symbols Realm in humans.
One or two is fine.
With his strength and the firepower of the warships, he could handle it.
But if a few more come, their Third Fleet in the East China Sea will probably be wiped out here.
"Has the situation been reported?"
He asked the question in a steady and powerful voice.
"It's all been reported."
The staff officer replied, "According to the instructions of the General Staff, the entire area within a hundred miles of the wormhole has been designated as a military restricted zone."
The 1st, 3rd, and 5th combat brigades of the East China Sea Fleet have completed their deployment along the coastline, while the 2nd brigade is maintaining order in Haicheng.
In addition, the First Fleet of the East China Sea is on its way to provide support.
"it is good."
The middle-aged man nodded with a sigh of relief.
The First Fleet of the East China Sea is the ace main fleet of the East China Sea Legion. It is not only equipped with the strongest firepower, but also has several grandmaster-level experts in charge.
The fleet commander, Shangguan Ting, is a top-tier martial artist at the peak of the Four Symbols Realm.
……
Below the fleet, deep in the ocean.
A young sea turtle lay motionless on the seabed, as if it were dead.
suddenly.
The baby sea turtle suddenly opened its eyes.
It turned its head, looked around, and was initially confused, but then its eyes revealed a look of wild joy.
"I, Karak, the 1859th general under the Supreme Beast Selgard, am still alive!"
In my memory—
I am a vanguard sent by Lord Sergard to scout ahead.
As a result, before it could even adapt to the new world after stepping out of the wormhole, one after another dark, columnar objects silently approached it.
Followed by.
A series of explosions left him dizzy and disoriented.
It angrily burst out of the water, wanting to find out who did it.
Instead, it was met by a two-legged beast dressed in black, holding a golden battle sword.
next second.
A golden light flashed, and its body was cleaved in two...
My memory ends here.
Karak finished reminiscing and quickly looked at his body.
The once majestic and imposing body is gone, replaced by short, thick limbs, a round body, and an ugly shell on its back.
"Ashibanimaka!"
Karak cursed inwardly with the most vicious language.
But it only dared to curse in its heart.
The black-clad two-legged beast that killed its true form was incredibly powerful, capable of taking it down in a single move.
Under Lord Sergard, they would probably rank in the top 100.
"Fortunately, Lord Selgard granted me the ability to transfer my soul once, otherwise I, Karak, would have truly perished here."
The baby sea turtle shook its head, feeling the frail new body and the powerful pressure coming from above.
It quickly paddled away from the dangerous area.
"Survival comes first..."
The baby sea turtle, Karak, swam faster and faster.
What it didn't know was that the direction it was swimming towards was the sea city inhabited by twenty million bipedal beasts.
……
three days later.
Haicheng, 749 Shelter, Area A5.
Lin Bei finished meditating all night and slowly opened his eyes.
Four days have passed since the family arrived at the shelter.
Although the daily reports received were all good news such as "threat eliminated", "defense line stabilized", and "situation under control".
But the alert has not been lifted.
Everyone must stay in the shelter and is not allowed to go home.
The school also issued a notice of class suspension.
Lin Bei had no choice but to stay in the shelter.
The good news is that he now has more time for meditation, constantly improving his mental strength.
Just over an hour ago, his available mental strength had increased to 5.0, achieving the predetermined goal ahead of schedule.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
