Capital City.

Jiuzhou Corps Headquarters.

This afternoon, the high-ranking members of the Corps rarelly gathered in the command center.

Corps Commander Wu Dingtian held a can of cola in his right hand and asked, "Has there been any changes in the icefield yet?"

An officer glanced at the satellite's real-time picture and shook his head: "No!"

Wu Dingtian took a sip of cola, his brow slightly furrowed: "This stuff tastes awful, how does Mr. Ghost like drinking this?"

A nearby officer chuckled: "If the cola company were to take a promotional photo of Mr. Ghost drinking their cola, this cola would definitely sell like crazy.

"So as long as Mr. Ghost likes it, it can't taste bad. If you find it unpleasant, then the problem must be with you, not the cola."

Wu Dingtian was rendered speechless: "Alright, you're right."

He looked at the cola in his hand, downed it in one gulp, and then squeezed the can into a small ball.

This cola brand is called "Summer Cola," meaning — Prosperous Great Xia.

Since Great Xia started implementing a comprehensive rationing system, the authorities have been slyly pulling some tricks.

Many foreign brands were kicked out of the rationing list, replaced by domestic brands from Great Xia.

Cola, a product with little technical content, was naturally among them.

The two colas that were once popular worldwide vanished overnight in Great Xia, and Summer Cola quickly took their place on the shelves of the Great Xia Business Communication platform.

No one really protested this, as all colas pretty much taste the same.

And just yesterday.

Mr. Ghost, far away in Shapudian, bought items worth as much as 2 million from the Great Xia Business Communication platform.

Among them were 50 boxes of cola.

Wu Dingtian happened to hear about this amusing incident and specifically bought a bottle of cola to try.

At this moment.

Deputy Colonel Ding glanced at his watch and muttered under his breath: "Mr. Spirit Crows said that 38 hours later, the Arctic Icefield would experience a catastrophe. Now it's already been 38 hours, how come..."

Before he finished his sentence.

A voice suddenly shouted: "Report! Another earthquake has occurred on the Arctic Icefield."

Colonel Ding instantly changed his tune: "Mr. Spirit Crows is truly amazing!"

Wu Dingtian gave him a sideways look, about to say, "You really are skilled at switching sides."

But the commander didn't get a chance to say it.

The officer who made the report raised his pitch significantly: "The magnitude of this earthquake is very high.

"By the standards of the Richter scale, it has already reached a magnitude of 6.6… no, it has now increased to 7.8."

Everyone was stunned.

The Arctic Icefield is just a massive piece of floating ice, and for such a large earthquake to occur on it.

This is yet another event that greatly overturns understanding.

The officer shouted again: "The latest satellite image is ready, please take a look, commanders."

A large screen immediately displayed a picture.

Wu Dingtian glanced at it and involuntarily uttered a curse: "Holy shit!"

The picture clearly showed several cracks, with the longest one splitting the entire icefield.

The other cracks, at least 500 kilometers long, traversed most of the icefield.

Keep in mind.

This photo was taken by a satellite from space.

Even from space, the cracks are clearly visible, showing just how wide they are, demonstrating the severity of the catastrophe.

Colonel Ding was excited: "The Carmenians have already sent 1500 superpower users there, and yesterday added another 500 people. Mr. Spirit Crows really caught them off guard this time."

Wu Dingtian laughed: "The Bering Kingdom also got hit hard; the Arctic Icefield is right at their doorstep, and they sent out 1200 superpower users, second only to the Carmenia Federation."

Colonel Ding continued: "Currently, at least 37,000 superpower users from various countries have entered the Arctic Icefield, and this time, probably 80% of them will be casualties."

Other officers had different views.

"I think it'll be at least 90%."

"The disaster isn't just as simple as an earthquake; it may also spawn a lot of monsters. It wouldn't be surprising if they all died."

Wu Dingtian glanced at these people and gave a thumbs up: "You guys are really one more ruthless than the other."

The saying "words reveal one's heart" applies here—it's clear these officers prefer foreign superpower users to die in large numbers.

Colonel Ding showed a bit of concern: "Will the advance team be okay?"

Wu Dingtian shook his head: "Mr. Spirit Crows predicted the disaster and has sent Tree Spirit, Linjiang over. The advance team will definitely be safe."

The commander paused, waving his hand to give orders: "After this disaster, a large number of Cold Abyss Ice Fish is certain to appear. Dispatch 20 search teams in one hour."

Colonel Ding nodded: "Understood!"

Previously, Great Xia had only sent a 50-person advance team, leading other nations to generally believe Great Xia had given up on the Cold Abyss Ice Fish.

The truth was quite the opposite.

Great Xia quietly stationed 20 search teams at the edge of the Arctic Circle, totaling a massive force of 2000 personnel.

Once the situation on the icefield stabilizes, these 20 teams will rush in to search for ice fish as soon as possible.

While other countries, suffering heavy losses, won't readily send more people into the icefield again, allowing Great Xia to claim the largest piece of the pie.

After a few seconds.

An officer suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Commander, it seems there's a phenomenon in the sky."

Wu Dingtian paused, quickly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked up at the sky.

He immediately saw long white ribbon-shaped clouds stretching across the sky, seemingly endless.

Wu Dingtian marveled: "The Capital City is several thousand kilometers away from the Arctic Icefield, yet changes in the icefield have affected here. Truly incredible!"

Colonel Ding came over for a look, his tone admiring: "Mr. Spirit Crows said the icefield disaster could affect global weather, and he was right again."

*

Western Hemisphere.

Over the ocean.

The Great Xia Airlines plane Erin was on plunged over 1000 meters in altitude before becoming stable.

This Bai Mei was utterly shaken, shuddering all over, close to wetting herself from fear.

The cabin was in chaos.

Screams, cries, shouts of pain echoed throughout, creating a hectic scene.

Clearly.

Many passengers were injured.

Erin turned to look to the side, her heart pounding wildly.

She saw with her own eyes two passengers from the business class seats fly up, hit the ceiling, and then fall back down.

This Bai Mei touched her seatbelt, feeling extremely fortunate.

Since boarding the plane, she spent most of her time sleeping, forgets to unbuckle her seatbelt, and didn't visit the restroom.

Otherwise, she would have ended up like those two unlucky souls.

Erin glanced towards the economy class, feeling an intense urge to cover her ears.

Due to the larger number of passengers in economy class, more people were injured, and the screams sounded particularly loud.

She sat dazed for a few seconds, and suddenly a strange impulse arose in her heart.

Erin took out her phone, connected to the plane's WIFI, and sent a message to Ha Xiaofu: "Let's have a baby."

Having just brushed past death, she inexplicably felt a sudden urge to have a child.

Two seconds passed.

A reply came.

It was just a bewildered emoji.

Erin had already decided to take the plunge: "Get a hotel near the airport, and take a shower first."

On the other side of Canglan Star.

Great Xia.

Linjiang City.

Ha Xiaofu looked at the phone screen, a little dizzy in the head.

Not off the plane yet, and now talking about booking a place for me to shower—are you coming just to check me out?

As a nearly 30-year-old eligible bachelor, faced with such a request from a pretty Bering girl, he was momentarily unsure how to respond.

Ha Xiaofu gritted his teeth and replied with one word: "OK!"

The Bering girl had already initiated the challenge; how could he, a grown man, possibly back down?

Can't embarrass the Great Xia!

This guy picked up his suitcase, ready to go downstairs to wait for a car, but then paused.

He immediately opened the search engine on his phone and typed a line: How to last longer the first time.

Arctic Icefield.

Just before the mutation occurred.

The leader of the Bering Kingdom's superpower user team, Vilita, suddenly sensed something, and her face turned extremely grim.

She sensed a terrifying supernatural power rapidly gathering deep within the ice layer.

She also sensed a dreadful feeling of impending doom.

The premonition had come true!

Initially, Vilita had held onto a sliver of hope that things might not turn out so poorly.

But the reality proved her judgment; this was clearly a death trap set by the Great Xia People.

Countless thoughts raced through Vilita's mind, and ultimately she shouted: "Everyone disperse, return to the kingdom immediately!"

An uncanny intuition told her that multiple superpower users gathering together would most likely encounter danger, while being alone had a slightly better chance of survival.

Though she had no idea why this was.

The burly superpower user beside her was initially puzzled before asking, "Miss Vilita..."

Before the words were finished.

"Boom!"

A colossal sound, akin to heaven collapsing and earth splitting, was heard.

The sky didn't collapse.

But the ground cracked for sure.

Accompanied by an incredibly intense jolt, a fissure instantly appeared next to the team, expanding to over 20 meters in the blink of an eye.

Three Spiritual Ability Users found themselves unsteady and actually slid into the fissure, directly plummeting toward the depths of the ice crevice.

Vilita immediately noticed this and shouted: "Save them!"

She waved her right hand, and the swirling snowflakes around transformed into several ice chains, rapidly reaching out to the three superpower users.

Meanwhile, six physical Ability Users leapt toward the ice crevice, attempting to assist their companions.

At that very moment.

"Woo~"

A piercing whistling sound suddenly echoed.

A dense white mist erupted from the depths of the ice crevice.

Something eerie occurred.

Tentacles formed from the white mist suddenly emerged, instantly entangling the three unfortunate individuals.

The three were quickly encapsulated into a large ice block, with at least a 2-meter thick layer of ice, accelerating their descent.

Vilita's ice chains attempted to latch onto the ice block to pull them back.

But it failed.

The combined strength of the ice block and tentacles was greater than she imagined.

Vilita nearly got pulled down; she hurriedly severed the ice chains, watching with a steel-blue face as her three companions plummeted into the abyss.

There was no doubt.

They were doomed!

Then.

Hundreds of tentacles emerged from the white mist, rapidly attacking the physical Ability Users jumping toward the ice crevice to rescue.

The six superpower users were terrified and quickly tried their best to evade.

But it was too late.

The tentacles swept over, freezing them into ice blocks, dragging them toward the abyss.

Within just two seconds.

The team lost nine superpower users.

They were all elite members among the Bering Kingdom's superpower users.

Vilita's heart sank to the bottom, urgently urging: "Everyone stay away from the fissure."

The remaining dozen or so superpower users, plus two dogs, frantically turned and rushed towards safety.

But the ice crevice was more terrifying than Vilita imagined.

The white mist surged again.

Over a thousand tentacles emerged, flooding over, instantly engulfing nearly everyone.

Only two superpower users narrowly escaped.

Vilita was the strongest, thus managed to flee the fastest, leading alone at the front.

She glanced back, seeing only a few cats and dogs left among her subordinates, her beautiful eyes full of fear.

Too terrifying!

What kind of disaster is this?

Vilita recalled the kingdom urgently dispatching 800 more superpower users, a chilling sensation pierced through her heart.

All 800 are elites; not many are expected to survive, and this time the kingdom would surely suffer a severe loss of vital energy!

The entire world has fallen into the trap!

Damn those Great Xia People!

Vicious Great Xia People!
