Chapter 320 Man Will Conquer Nature
Guangfu Conghua No.1 Middle School.
"Wuhu—It's a holiday! Thank you typhoon, thank you God!"
The classroom erupted in chaos.
A glaring red typhoon warning notification popped up on the Seewo whiteboard.
The eastern part of the South China Sea was affected by a tropical cyclone.
Gale-force winds of level 8 have been detected, and the cyclone continues to intensify. The public is urged to refrain from all non-essential outdoor activities.
Primary and secondary school students should immediately leave school and return home.
After the era of massive infrastructure construction, students in Guangzhou have long lost their awe of extreme weather.
In their eyes, a typhoon is like a holiday, and a rainstorm is like playing video games at home.
Amid the noise, Wang Yuning, sitting in the last row, quietly took out her phone and opened the typhoon real-time monitoring website.
"How strange..."
As the geography class representative, she frowned. "Don't tropical cyclones usually form near Luzon or Guam?"
This year... how did it suddenly appear in the middle of the South China Sea?
My phone vibrated; it was a message from my brother, Wang Yuhao.
Wang Yuhao: [Yu Ning, I'm at your school gate. Come out quickly, it's urgent.]
Wang Yuning: [Okay. What's up? Is it related to the typhoon?]
Wang Yuhao: [I guess so. Don't ask anymore, hurry up. Dad and Mom have already gone to the air raid shelter.]
Air raid shelter?
Wang Yuning's heart sank.
It's just a Category 8 typhoon, is it really necessary for the whole family to hide in an air raid shelter?
She hurriedly packed her schoolbag, not even zipping it up properly, and ran towards the door.
"Hey, Yu Ning!" her best friend Xiao Yun called from behind, "Don't forget to log into Identity V when you get back! I just bought the Priestess's golden skin!"
Wang Yuning paused, turned around, and said, "Xiaoyun, you should go home quickly..."
"Hey, why do you look so serious?"
Xiaoyun waved her hand, "Typhoons have happened before, and every time they've been all bark and no bite. It'll be fine if it's a little later."
That's all I'll say. I'm not playing today, I have something to do.
Wang Yuning said no more and turned to rush into the rain.
The sky was as dark as ink, and large raindrops pelted my face, stinging painfully.
She ran all the way to the school gate, opened the car door, and got in.
"Brother, what happened?"
Before she could finish asking, Wang Yuhao stepped on the gas.
The black Buick shot out of the traffic jam at the school gate like an arrow.
Looking in the front mirror, Wang Yuning saw that her brother's face lacked his usual carefree attitude, only showing an unyielding seriousness.
She had never seen a brother like this before.
As the car entered the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Expressway, the rain subsided somewhat.
Wang Yuhao's tense lips relaxed slightly.
"The natural disaster has begun."
He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking in a hoarse voice, "The era of divine resurgence has arrived. It's much faster and more intense than the higher-ups anticipated."
"I have special abilities, and my family members have priority access to the shelter. Once you get there, stay with your parents and don't wander off."
Wang Yuning: ? ? ?
All she knew was that her brother worked in a very mysterious government department.
But the gods...
Isn't that something that only exists in fairy tales?
"elder brother……"
Wang Yuhao glanced at her in the rearview mirror and suddenly forced an awkward smile:
"Brother is going to the front lines with his comrades."
If I die, don't think about revenge, and don't cry.
If we win, remember to burn some paper money for me every Qingming Festival, and burn lots of Naxi Da figurines...
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Wang Yuning's eyes immediately turned red.
She hugged her knees tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "Life was going so well, wasn't it? How did it suddenly turn out like this..."
"Yes, how did it suddenly become like this?"
Wang Yuhao took a deep breath, his tone full of self-deprecation, "Many things are just this messed up, the world never makes sense. I only realized in the meeting last week that everything we learned before was just a thin film floating on the surface of the world."
"Long, long ago, this world was ruled by gods. Later, something sealed them away, and now they're coming back. Ragnarok, the end of the world—it turns out it was all real."
"I thought this day would come later."
"Now it's all right. Just now, Director Shen sent me a message saying that the gods have fully revived, and 'natural disasters' are coming. All sorts of demigods and monsters will follow one after another. Immediately execute Plan B, which we discussed at the last meeting..."
"Ugh, why am I telling you all this?"
He rubbed his face. "Confused yet? Just think of it as me talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
"Brother, will you die?"
Wang Yuning lowered her head, tears falling in large drops onto her jeans.
Rainwater slid down the car window, leaving twisted streaks.
"Who knows?"
Wang Yuhao pressed the accelerator, increasing the speed to 120 km/h. Raindrops streaked across the car window, forming horizontal lines that flew backward.
"If I could be with him, everything should be fine. It's a pity that he's in Namil now."
He suddenly remembered something, took a note from the glove compartment, and handed it to Wang Yuning.
The note had an unfamiliar phone number written on it.
"This is his contact information. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, call him. Considering that I've worked with him twice, he should be willing to help you."
……
The Buick first drove into a hidden underground air-raid shelter near Zhongshan Road, handed Wang Yuning over to her parents, then turned the car around and sped off towards the Guangfu branch of the 749th Bureau.
At the same time, all combat personnel of Bureau 749 have been mobilized.
From the Beibu Gulf to the Bohai Bay, along the long coastline, each coastal city is guarded by two to three S-class superhumans.
Wang Yuhao stood on the seawall, gazing at the surging gray waves in the distance.
The wind whipped up the corner of his clothes, and the rain soaked his hair.
He remained silent for a long time.
……
In Ouyang Keling's mental space.
Ke Ling hugged her knees and huddled in the corner, timidly watching the two Heavenly Dao Lolis wrestling together not far away.
Harem Heavenly Dao rode on Niu Niu Heavenly Dao's back, pulling hard on her double buns with both hands, deforming the two round buns.
Niu Niu Tian Dao was not to be outdone; he grabbed her foot and gnawed hard on her toes with his teeth.
With his other hand, he frantically tore at the pink hearts wrapped around her hair.
The two rolled around, muttering curses all the while.
Where is even a trace of the majesty of Heaven's will?
Chunai Tiandao sat cross-legged on a nearby rock, watching the ugly brawl with a blank expression.
She rubbed her chin
Something just doesn't feel right.
Something's really wrong.
The harem clearly had better options.
She could launch a sneak attack while Niu Niu was sacrificing his core authority, devour him, and then turn around and eliminate herself, becoming the sole Heavenly Dao in this world.
With her abilities, this is not difficult.
But she didn't.
Instead, she sacrificed her core authority, forcibly suspending Jiang Ling's four-dimensional form, forcing herself to the point of perishing together with Niu Niu.
How could someone in the harem, who would betray anyone for power and was selfish to the core, do such a thing?
What is she after?
Chunai watched the back of the woman pulling Niu Niu's hair, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
All of this was strange from the very beginning of the three-day war. Despite being the victor's harem, they hid in the system for thousands of years;
He could have unified the world, but instead he chose to support a mysterious extraterrestrial demon.
What exactly is she planning?
……
Within the heavens.
The demigod light points that Jiang Pianpian shattered fell downwards like snowflakes.
Originally, according to Yuan's plan, these fragments would all fall in the Scottish region and be collected and cleaned up by the elders of the Sorrow of God.
However, as the number and density of the light spots increased, her power became insufficient to control the landing point of all the fragments.
Countless points of light pierced through the barrier of the sky and scattered across the world.
Yuan could only do his utmost to guide most of the fragments into the deserted ocean.
However, quite a few points of light still landed on densely populated land.
On the South China Sea.
A giant tropical cyclone covering hundreds of kilometers stretched across the sea like a moving wall of clouds.
The gale whipped up towering waves several meters high, and schools of swordfish were swept into the sky, like sharp spears, fiercely stabbing at Ms. Honda R.
bang bang bang-
The swordfish's spines smashed into the titanium alloy shell of the Honda R, turning it into a bloody mess.
"Little R, open the dome." Jiang Ling's voice was calm and even.
"Buzz~ (Yes, Master)"
A crack slowly appeared above the driver's seat, and a cold, gusty wind mixed with seawater rushed in and crept into his collar.
More swordfish crashed down on him, tearing his clothes, but they couldn't leave even a white mark on his rock-solid muscles.
"Drink it—!"
Jiang Ling roared, leaned out of the window, and threw a straight punch at the towering wall of wind in front of him.
boom--!!!
The golden fist energy exploded like a nuclear bomb. From space, the giant cyclone rotating above the South China Sea suddenly froze for a second.
Then, as if God had gently erased it with an eraser, it instantly crumbled and vanished without a trace.
The sky cleared, and the sun shone on the sea once more.
Jiang Ling had just withdrawn his fist when his brows furrowed sharply.
Dozens of beams of light, radiating divine power, were falling from the sky and plunging straight into the South China Sea beneath their feet.
Rumbling--
The seawater surged.
Dozens of enormous sea monsters burst through the surface of the sea, letting out deafening roars.
Their aura was in no way inferior to that of the Zhen Dan Dragon King, which was previously destroyed by Jiang Ling's punch.
Some of them are even stronger.
Jormungandr, Kraken, Scylla, Charybdis...
These legendary sea monsters, existing only in Norse and Greek mythology, have now all appeared.
Jiang Ling: ……
He took another deep breath and charged towards the things blocking his way.
Weak, very weak...
But it always manages to stop him for a few seconds...
Ten minutes later.
Those legendary sea monsters were all turned into a pile of minced meat.
Jiang Ling continued driving the Honda R, crossing the strait and flying towards Kagoshima.
……
United Nations, top-secret online conference room.
The number of attendees was small, consisting only of the heads of state and top military officials from the five permanent members of the Security Council: Great Britain, America, Russia, England, and France.
The fewer people involved, the heavier the decision becomes.
A massive deep-space monitoring projection hangs in the center of the conference room. On the screen, a dark gray asteroid, thirty kilometers in diameter, is hurtling towards Earth along a cold trajectory at a cosmic velocity of twenty-seven kilometers per second.
"Your Excellencies, on behalf of the Global Deep Space Defense Research Institute, I will conduct the final risk assessment of this extinction-level celestial impact event."
NASA's chief scientist took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly with tension, "First, let's be clear: the target object has a mass approximately ninety times that of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs, making it a plate-plate extinction object. Its structure is a dense silicate-metal mixture, with extremely high overall strength."
"With the full yield of humanity's current nuclear arsenal and conventional demolition methods, it is impossible to completely destroy this celestial body. Forced demolition would only break it into dozens of secondary meteorites several kilometers in size, still causing a complete collapse of the global ecosystem. Therefore, the demolition plan is officially rejected."
The conference room was deathly silent.
News of the asteroid impact was kept under wraps for three hours. During those three hours, nations that had been at war for decades set aside all prejudice and hostility for the first time, and sat down together to discuss the survival of human civilization.
Ever since the day humans pointed telescopes at the stars, many people have worried about asteroid impacts on Earth…
Now, it's really here.
The atmosphere in the room instantly sombered, and the heads of state looked solemn.
"Currently, the only feasible interception method for humanity is the new generation of heavy nuclear-powered orbital deflector guns of the Great Xia Dynasty."
The scientist looked at Shen Yuntian, who was sitting in the main seat, and said with a hint of relief that was hard to detect. "This is the only weapon that mankind has ever made to break through the current technological limits. Relying on the surface supercomputing array and the high-altitude orbital launch site, it can output a controlled nuclear shock wave in a directional manner, which can be precisely applied to the lateral tangent point of the star, apply lateral momentum and correct its orbit."
General America turned her head and couldn't help but click her tongue.
Heavy nuclear-powered railgun.
While they were still demonstrating the feasibility on PowerPoint presentations, Daxia had already produced the actual product and put it into service.
It was the same ten years ago.
They were still arguing with Congress about funding for the development of a sixth-generation fighter jet, while Daxia had already flown more than a hundred aerospace fighters capable of high-altitude maneuvering during the war against Japan.
Shen Yuntian nodded slightly at him, then quickly looked away, his expression still solemn.
They poured the nation's resources into developing these technologies, all in anticipation of this day when the gods would rise again, leading to the extinction of humanity...
But they never expected that day would come so early and so suddenly.
Furthermore, those gods also brought an asteroid...
The scene then shifts again, showing a simulated scenario of countless energy-storing beams aimed at deep space.
Finally, the scientists looked directly at the entire audience and gave their final conclusion.
"However, even if we do everything we can, the probability of humans surviving is only 3%."
"Because... according to the latest orbital calculations, the minimum avoidance deflection angle required for this asteroid is 0.7 degrees."
"Our theoretical limit is only 0.68 degrees."
"The above represents the maximum feasibility limit for human civilization."
The meeting room was deathly silent.
The sunlight outside the window was perfect, but everyone in the conference room felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
A difference of 0.02 degrees.
It's the distance between life and death.
It's about the distance between the continuation and the destruction of human civilization.
Is there anyone... who can make up for this 0.02-degree deviation?
"Do it anyway," Shen Yuntian said, breaking the silence.
"I've always believed that human effort can overcome anything. Even if we fail in the future, at least we tried, right?"
"Besides, perhaps someone can make up for that 0.02° difference?"
