"It's him!!""It's Heart Six!! I saw him!"

Rustling sounds came from all around. As several figures streaked across the sky, one of the Pu family members pointed at Pu Jianyue in the distance and shouted.

The next moment, a swarm of figures rushed towards him!

Besides the Pu family head in the distance, Old Pu Two, Old Pu Four, Old Pu Six... most of the Pu family's high-level combatants had already converged here, guided by the Kite Rescue Association, to launch a grand encirclement and suppression campaign against the fleeing "Heart Six."

Pu Jianyue's heart sank. He didn't know what was happening, but seeing a large number of figures charging at him, he instinctively ran at full speed into the distance!

Chen Ling had long since been disappointed with Pu Jianyue. He didn't expect Pu Jianyue to show the initiative of "Heart Six" and handle complex situations. So, the simplest method was to push him directly into the public eye, giving him no choice.

Currently, Pu Jianyue's memory had been wiped clean by Chen Ling once again, and he remembered even less than when he first awoke, having even forgotten the Silver King...

He was utterly bewildered at this moment, knowing only that someone was frantically chasing him. He fled frantically purely on instinct, like a live bullfrog with a fishing line attached, pursued by a string of lobsters, darting and weaving through a pond.

Meanwhile, Chen Ling, holding the fishing rod, watched everything from a distant clock tower.

The Nanhai Police Bureau's forces were now divided into three sections, evacuating citizens to the three previously announced locations. These three locations were carefully chosen by Chen Ling, especially the Deep Blue Machinery Factory, which was right on the border of the domain. If all went as expected, personnel would also be dispatched to support the border checkpoint entrance closest to the Deep Blue Machinery Factory...

As Pu Jianyue was sent out as bait, the Pu family immediately took it, diverting most of their energy. Now, the entire Nanhai Domain had been stirred into a series of whirlpools by Chen Ling. In a short time, no one should be concerned about whether a certain rail entrance gate was open.

But Pu Jianyue probably wouldn't last long...

Chen Ling's gaze occasionally shifted towards the direction of the rail entrance, his eyes flickering with worry.

"You... need to hurry."

"It's the light signal!"

On the turbulent sea, the Fusion Faction members, struggling forward along the railway, saw a fixed-frequency light flashing at a certain location in the Nanhai Domain out of the corner of their eyes. Their expressions immediately brightened with excitement.

Three long flashes, three short flashes – that was the frequency Chen Ling and Teacher Ye had agreed upon, signifying that the gate was under control and could be entered from there.

For the Fusion Faction children whose homes had been destroyed and who had endured a long journey, the flashing light represented hope. It meant that Chen Ling had paved their way forward, and they could have a new home in the Nanhai Domain.

Their suffering was about to end.

Seeing this, Old Wolf and the others immediately relaxed their expressions.

"He actually did it..."

"What did I tell you? Just leave this kind of thing to him, and rest assured!"

Zhao Yi patted his chest, a brilliant smile on his face.

Teacher Ye's tired eyes also regained their sparkle. With a wave of his hand, he shouted loudly:

"Everyone, gather your strength and speed up!!"

The children, whose morale had surged, momentarily forgot their exhaustion and hunger. They helped each other, accelerating along the tracks, and some even started running.

Under the dim sky, the outline of the domain gate gradually approached before their eyes...

Wooosh—

Just then, a wailing, cold wind suddenly swept in from the north.

The wind was terribly cold, as if from the netherworld. It scraped across their skin, yet chilled them to the bone, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

After the brutal sweep of the cold wind, the already churning waves suddenly spiraled out of control. Waves tens of meters high were violently whipped up, surging massively towards the railway line on the sea, their colossal shadows obscuring the sky.

"Watch out for the waves!!" Teacher Ye immediately shouted.

All the children froze. They quickly threw themselves down, their hands tightly gripping the sturdy train tracks. Old Wolf and the others even directly transformed into their disaster forms, using their massive bodies to shield some exhausted children from the waves.

With a deafening roar, foamy white waves exploded on the tracks. In the bone-chilling current, small, disheveled figures were drenched...

Fortunately, anchored by the railway, none of them were swept away. They couldn't help but gasp for air, but the very next moment, another giant wave surged towards them!!

"This chill..."

Zhao Yi's cloak was already soaked. Feeling the familiar, biting cold, he seemed to realize something and abruptly looked up towards the distance!

Dark, oppressive clouds loomed like mountains over the sea. The violent ocean roared in the cold wind, and icebergs, appearing from nowhere, surfaced one by one. The entire ocean's temperature was rapidly plummeting...

Immediately after,

The waves churned,

And massive, terrifying shadows slowly emerged from the deep sea...

"The Forbidden Sea?!!!!"

Audience Expectation: 4Current Expectation: 65

"Hm...?"

As two lines of text floated past Chen Ling's eyes, an ominous premonition arose in his heart...

The hairs on his skin stood on end. As the cold wind swept past, the temperature of the entire Nanhai Domain plummeted drastically... Although the Nanhai Domain's temperature had already dropped sharply in the past few days, the current low temperature was chilling to an outrageous degree!

This chill immediately reminded Chen Ling of Aurora City... the city where millions had frozen to death.

No, wait?!

Chen Ling seemed to realize something and abruptly turned his head to look into the distance!

Could it be...

Clang—Clang—Clang...

Almost simultaneously, the resounding disaster bell echoed throughout the Nanhai Domain.

This familiar disaster bell undeniably confirmed Chen Ling's suspicions. He stood stunned for a moment, then an extreme sense of absurdity surged into his heart!

The Forbidden Sea has attacked?

Why now of all times? Not earlier, not later, but precisely at this moment??

What the hell kind of joke is this?!!!

He had finally set everything up, and was about to bring in the Fusion Faction members, but at this exact moment, the Forbidden Sea launched an attack??? What if they had attacked a day earlier, or even ten minutes later??

How could it be such a coincidence?!!!

No... that's not right...

At this moment, a nagging feeling he had previously ignored resurfaced. It was as if a thread in his mind instantly connected all the suspicious points!

First, the Turbid Disaster attacked the Fusion Faction without warning, destroying the Mother Tree; then, he was ordered to go to Nanhai on an urgent mission; Pu Jianyue, who had originally escaped, was inexplicably captured by the Pu family again, forcing him to expose himself; and now, just as he was about to open the gate to bring people in, the Forbidden Sea attacked Nanhai, perfectly timed...

Every time he was about to accomplish something, it was brutally shattered by all sorts of reasons!

All of this was completely illogical, as if an invisible giant hand was silently manipulating everything from behind... Especially the Bitter Flesh Turbid Forest and the Forbidden Sea, these two world-ending disaster territories, seemed to revolve around him...

Wait... disaster territories...

Chen Ling seemed to guess something, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot. He clenched his jaw, and a grim name escaped his lips:

"It's you..."

"Thought Disaster!!!!"
