Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chapter 1300: Black Hole Echo (Thanks to Sakiya for the reward!)

The rain is still falling.

After Chen Mu finished his dinner, he went upstairs to his study.

In the study, he asked Xu Yueji to find the information reported by each black hole before the last "Four-Direction Flood" and compare them in detail.

After reading for half an hour, Chen Mu closed the thick report and asked Xu Yueji, "Are there any unusual movements among the black holes at the moment?"

"Not yet. Everything is as usual."

"I hope I'm worrying too much."

Chen Mu put the report aside, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

Such heavy rain is indeed extremely rare.

But it's the beginning of summer now, so it's not hard to explain why there are heavy rainstorms.

Chen Mu didn't know why he felt so uneasy tonight.

He considered the current situation and felt that there were two things wrong:

1. The Black Hole has been quiet for too long. There has been no Tide of Strange Beasts for over a month, and no new Trickster Gates have appeared.

2. It rained heavily tonight.

To be honest, both of these things can be reasonably explained, and neither of them is a sharp anomaly.

Logically speaking, why would I, who am well-informed and experienced, feel uneasy because of these two things?

Chen Mu didn't understand, but he believed in his intuition.

Before going to bed, Chen Mu told Xu Yueji, "If there's any news reported to me from the Black Hole tonight, wake me up immediately."

Generally speaking, Chen Mu is undisturbed during sleeping time.

As long as it is not a matter of life and death, we will wait until Chen Mu wakes up.

But Chen Mu felt that anything related to the black hole that was reported to him was no small matter.

On weekdays, you can wait until you get up to deal with it, but if something happens tonight and you delay it for too long, there might be changes.

After explaining everything to Xu Yueji, Chen Mu returned to his room to rest.

The lights in the villa went out, and Chen Mu fell into a light sleep in the pouring rain.

Tonight, all the black holes, following Chen Mu's order, entered the second-level alert state.

The soldiers stationed at the black hole were all confused. They didn't know why they were suddenly on emergency alert.

It was still raining heavily outside, and the defense line was covered in mud. Holding a weapon and holding an umbrella was inconvenient, so I was soaked in half a minute.

In the past, when the alert level was four, on rainy nights, we mostly relied on machines and surveillance patrols to keep watch.

Tonight, almost 90% of the soldiers came out to keep watch in the heavy rain, and they were wet and cold all over.

When encountering such a situation, grassroots employees will more or less feel that their leader has "something wrong with his brain" and made the decision on the spur of the moment.

But when the soldiers on Wangjiang Watch learned that it was Boss Chen who gave the order, they had no complaints and instead looked nervous.

Because they know that Boss Chen's judgment has always been beyond doubt.

The fact that Boss Chen suddenly issued an order means that something bad might be about to happen.

Even if nothing happens, they will carry out Boss Chen's orders without complaint.

In addition to the soldiers on guard, the Duke, the former commander-in-chief of the polar defense line, also hurriedly packed his bags and set off from his home in the mountain and water courtyard on this rainy night.

"Where are you going so late at night?" The Duchess was puzzled. "To the War College? Who teaches students so late at night?"

"Let's go to the Polar Black Hole," the Duke said. "I saw Boss Chen's alert level. He didn't call me because he was considering my recovery from my injuries. He didn't have the heart to inform me out of consideration. Now that I know, I still have to go and take a look to put my mind at ease."

As a core member of Chen Mu's team, the Duke has retreated to the second line, but when the crisis comes, the Duke is not the kind of person who lies down.

Just because of Chen Mu's order, on a rainy night, the Duke boarded a plane and flew to the Pole without hesitation.

Over at the desert black hole, Tian Shihan lit the candles on the table. She was reading a book, killing the boring midnight hours.

She also did not sleep tonight. As the most powerful ghost in the desert, she was also paying attention to the movements of the black hole.

Outside the forest black hole, Xiaoye was commanding the harvest army, temporarily withdrawn to strengthen the defense. Lin Shanmu was at the edge of the black hole, and he also felt a little uneasy.

Outside the black hole of the prison, Chief Kong pushed open the prison door and slowly walked towards "himself" who was tied to the pillar.

"I'm sorry, I came here early tonight to get some of my own strange energy. Maybe it will be useful when something goes wrong."

Chief Kong also sensed something unusual. The other chiefs, all of whom were Gui Zun, felt unease to varying degrees.

Chief Kong came to the pillar and extracted more of his own innate strange energy from his body.

Early in the morning.

Polar black hole.

The Duke's plane landed and he arrived at the polar headquarters, where Ye Changsheng, the replacement commander, was also in charge.

"Your Excellency the Duke? Why are you here? Please sit down." Ye Changsheng said in surprise.

"Come and see, I can help if something happens."

The two were chatting.

At this time, the polar ice wall was brightly lit all night long.

Every twenty meters, there is a fully armed soldier standing guard.

Every five minutes, a patrol team of ten people passes by.

A soldier, soaked to the skin, was wearing a useless raincoat and standing guard vigilantly in the cold rain.

His level wasn't high, only at the level of a Cunning Citizen, or even lower. The cold raindrops made his body shiver, and his lips froze.

In front of him, looking down, was a vast white plain of ice and snow.

And in the very center of the plain is the polar black hole.

There are still many troops stationed on the plains.

Theoretically, the troops on the ice plains would be the first to face the attack. Those remaining on the polar ice wall were considered second-line troops, and therefore not very strong.

He rubbed his numb hands, put his left and right hands together, and put them to his mouth to breathe on them to keep warm.

Just as he exhaled a breath of hot air, he suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears.

The sound sounded like some unknown existence growling at him from the abyss.

The soldier was horrified to find that he couldn't even describe the characteristics of this sound in words. He could only feel the deep fear that came from deep within.

"Something is screaming..." The soldier looked around in horror, wanting to ask his companions for confirmation.

However, the soldiers on guard twenty meters away from him all seemed to have heard nothing and continued to stand upright in the heavy rain.

No abnormal alarm signals appeared in the entire polar ice wall.

Looking down from the sky, everything was normal for both the guards and the patrol teams.

Suddenly, a sense of fear washed over him, and the soldier wondered if he was the only one who had heard that sound.

Could it be that the voice was directed at me?

Although he was in the middle of a crowded defense line, his heart was filled with loneliness and fear.
