CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 362: MOBILE DISASTER

Hearing that impressive ’abnormality’ name, the blond boy shuddered all over, took three steps back, and looked at Zhu Haomiao as if confronting a formidable enemy, subconsciously exclaiming softly.

"Devouring Country Evil Dragon?!"

Immediately, realizing this NATO code name carried a derogatory connotation, the blond boy awkwardly laughed, showing an apologetic expression.

However, not noticing his exclamation at all, Zhu Haomiao looked at the girl with bright, translucent blue eyes and delicate features, exuding a maturity beyond her years. Her long, soft brown hair was held back with a simple hair accessory, still captivating and charming.

"Long time no see, Catherine."

Hearing the black-clothed boy’s greeting, Catherine Veronia pressed her lips together in a complicated expression.

"I thought beings like you wouldn’t remember me, a defeated subordinate..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao’s gaze swept over her chest with a peculiar expression.

No, it was big, white, very bouncy, unforgettable, and hard to erase!

On the other side, without noticing the boy’s inappropriate gaze, Catherine Veronia quickly brought the topic back on track, asking seriously.

"Are you visiting Fa Country? How did you get caught up in this supernatural disaster?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao hesitated for a moment, shook his head.

"No, I didn’t get involved from the real side; I fell down."

He pointed to the inverted world above. Under the shocked gazes of both, Zhu Haomiao recounted everything about Qu Lu.

"Are you saying this supernatural disaster was initiated by a descender?!"

Just as Zhu Haomiao was recounting the causes and effects, a tall white young man descended from the sky, anxiously inquiring.

Glancing at the Purple Gold Iris Badge on the other party’s chest, Zhu Haomiao nodded and explained Qu Lu’s indestructible nature to him.

"Damn it! The Nihility Sect, really a secret ceremony!"

Hearing about that signature ability, the white young man glanced at the Mirror World in the sky and hurriedly instructed the blond boy.

"Leave the coupling area immediately, notify the emergency command center, raise the danger level of this supernatural disaster to Second Rank S-level, and request the immediate activation of the National Defense Array to prevent the disaster source from moving!"

"A moving natural catastrophe?!"

The blond boy exclaimed, instantly realizing the severity of the problem, and transformed into a stream of light rushing into the distance.

"Damn, how unlucky..."

The white young man cursed silently, looking at Zhu Haomiao with eyes that suddenly became gentle and friendly, reaching out proactively to greet him.

"Zhu Haomiao, right? I’m Hugo Mills. I’ve heard Catherine mention you."

Shaking hands with Hugo Mills, Zhu Haomiao said sternly.

"The target this time contains a True Object that I must recover, please do not obstruct."

At these words, Hugo Mills resolutely nodded.

"As long as you help us quell this supernatural disaster quickly, all the spoils are yours!"

Compared to the losses in the real world, a mere Second Rank True Object isn’t worth a hair!

You know, this place is less than a hundred kilometers from a metropolis with a population of hundreds of thousands!

If the disaster source deliberately moves, it won’t take long to reach the city’s edge...

That’s what’s most headache-inducing about man-made supernatural disasters!

The source of the disaster possesses self-consciousness, and it deliberately moves towards densely populated areas to devour more [Truth]!

And just at this moment, the few people simultaneously raised their eyes, sensing the entire coupling area slowly and steadily moving.

Buzz~

The next second, an immense magic array rose from the horizon, countless intricate patterns rotating and shrinking rapidly, forming a cage, gradually constraining the space within a few miles.

"Roar!"

A furious roar, unlike any human sound, came from afar, and the movement speed of the coupling area instantly decreased to an almost imperceptible level, even the attraction from the sky weakened slightly.

Zhu Haomiao and Hugo Mills exchanged glances and shot out like two streams of light toward the horizon.

"Catherine, you go evacuate the mortals in the disaster area!"

Listening to the voice echoing softly in her ears, Catherine stomped her foot hard and reluctantly sprinted towards a nearby farm.

In the farmhouse’s warehouse, Catherine found a shivering family, skillfully pulling out several pairs of eye masks intending to cover their eyes.

"Wait! Who are you?!"

The man of the house pulled out a shotgun, shielding his wife and children behind him, pointing it at Catherine with false bravado.

"I am a national disaster relief personnel; this area is very dangerous now, please evacuate with me!"

Displaying the golden iris badge on her chest, Catherine handed the eye mask to the man, her gaze sincere.

Upon hearing this, the man hesitantly lowered the gun, scrutinizing the girl with half trust.

"Why are you giving us eye masks?"

"To prevent you from seeing things you shouldn’t see..."

In a meaningful whisper, Catherine glanced at the ceiling, solemnly emphasizing every word.

"Close your eyes, don’t open them, and definitely don’t look up!"

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you!"

Cognition is marking; when mortals become aware of another world without the power to resist the pull, "Truth" will naturally fall towards "Illusion", eventually being melted into the illusion, never returning.

This point fundamentally shows no difference from the descender’s [Lost]!

Only, mortals in the [Disaster Area] get lost much faster!

They will ultimately completely forget their existence in reality and become Illusion Realm creatures, their [Truth] dissolved and devoured by the Illusion Realm...

On the other side, although he still didn’t quite understand the situation, upon hearing the danger implied in the girl’s words, the man gritted his teeth.

"Please take my wife and daughter out first, you are a Transcendent, carrying them should mean you can escape quickly."

Giving the man a surprised look, Catherine didn’t waste words, putting the eye masks on the mother and daughter, instructed them a few times, then picked them up and ran out.

In the overlap of reality and illusion, a Transcendent can wield a certain amount of Illusion Realm power. The weight of two people was nothing for Catherine, her figure moving as swiftly as a galloping horse.

But somehow, as if sensing the premonition of parting, the little girl on her shoulder pushed the eye mask aside, tears gleaming, looking toward the direction they had come from.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

In light struggles, the girl caught sight of the anomaly in the sky from the corner of her eye, and her body was suddenly suspended uncontrollably.

Feeling the weight on her shoulder lighten, Catherine instantly realized it wasn’t good and held onto the girl’s ankle tightly.

But the pulling force from the extra-dimensional realm grew stronger, and the young girl’s fragile flesh couldn’t withstand the tug, causing her to cry out in pain.

On the other side, hearing his daughter’s cries, the mother panicked too, instinctively trying to take off her eye mask.

"No! Don’t move!"

Catherine’s low shout stopped the woman’s action, clenching her teeth in annoyance.

The emergency disaster relief manual was indeed correct!

These people just don’t listen!

If she had known, she would have knocked them out!
