Chapter 630 - 343: The Secret Vault Opens, West State Alarmed, and Expert Bai Mo’s Youthful Spirit!
Step.
Step.
Step.
In the pitch-black air-raid shelter, there was no light.
Hu Shanjiu’s headlamp illuminated the wall at the end of the shelter.
"Whew..."
He took a deep breath, inhaling all the dust and moldy smell of the shelter into his lungs.
"Master Uncle, let’s begin!
"Let’s hope we have good luck."
A white mist, blurring reality and dream, rose from his body, and an old ghostly figure emerged from it, gripping his hand.
"Hold on tight, we’re leaving."
The ghostly figure held his hand with one hand and touched the wall at the end of the shelter with the other.
Unexpectedly, the wall touched by the ghostly figure melted and corroded rapidly with a "sizzling" sound, as if cream met a fiery knife or snow was doused with sewage!
The wound on the wall from corrosion grew larger, already leaking faint remnants of the Immortal Treasure!
...
Deep into the night, the commercial street of West State was bustling with colorful neon lights and crowds coming and going, cars streaming endlessly.
A young man in an ill-fitting suit had just deftly extracted a cellphone from a passerby’s pocket, feeling quite pleased, when suddenly his ear turned red, became hot, and even emitted faint wisps of smoke!
"Eh?"
A treasure-hunting radar triggered?
His ear was nearly cooked; what caliber of treasure was this?
He paused for a moment, then was instantly overjoyed!
"It’s that significant heirloom!
"It’s emerging, it’s emerging!"
The passersby around him cast puzzled glances, but the young man instantly vanished into a blur, disappearing from the spot with a "whoosh".
...
In a small alley in the West Suburb of West State, a bow-legged middle-aged man had just walked out of the barbershop.
This haircut cost him nothing, and he even nabbed a box of loose change from the owner; it was simply delightful!
"Hehe."
During this period, each successor of the Immortal Thief had been trying to keep their activities minimal, only doing some petty thefts.
Once that significant heirloom emerges, once the master brother of the Immortal Thief Stream wrecks West State, they’ll be free to indulge!
"That boss lady, her figure like a gourd, looked quite moist..."
Before his voice fell, his ear suddenly turned red, heated up, and smoked!
His eyes instantly flashed with a brilliant gleam!
The significant heirloom has emerged!
Swish!
He transformed into a blur, disappearing from the spot.
...
North Suburb, opposite the gate of the Immortal Committee base.
An elderly lady, wearing a large sleeveless vest, had just picked up a plastic water bottle, crushed it, and tucked it into a fish-scale bag.
She was also a successor of the Immortal Thief, always stationed to monitor the Immortal Committee and keep an eye on its movements.
Suddenly, her ear turned red, heated up, and emitted blue smoke!
"The significant heirloom has emerged?"
She instantly discarded her fish-scale bag, pulled out an Earth Escape Technique Talisman, and stuck it to her forehead, then took a leap like diving into water, plunging into the asphalt road, and escaping into the ground!
...
In the streets and alleys of West State, indoors and outdoors, one successor of the Immortal Thief after another sensed the remnants of the Immortal Treasure, their ears turning red, becoming hot, and emitting blue smoke!
Figures crazed, either flying swiftly through the streets, or soaring in the sky, or escaping into the earth, headed towards the North Suburb, headed towards Happiness Peninsula!
...
In the restaurant.
By the dining table, Bai Mo, Cai Xiaozhen, and others were all filled with astonishment.
Beep...
Beep...
Beep...
Their phones simultaneously sounded piercing alarms.
An alert forcibly popped up on their phone screens.
[West State is about to experience a large-scale Immortal Technique terrorist attack]
[Please follow the prompts to proceed to the nearest refuge protection area]
Bai Mo looked at the map provided on this pop-up, seeing that the location they were in was circled in a white circle.
"We... we’re already in a refuge protection area, so we don’t need to move."
Beside him, Cai Xiaozhen had a strange expression.
He stood up, pulled a roll of Array Map from his backpack, and spread it out on the floor nearby.
"Expert Bai Mo, this is the Teleportation Array!
"As your bodyguard, it’s time for me to perform my duty.
"Please step on the Array Map and teleport to safety immediately!"
The private room quieted down, everyone looking towards Bai Mo.
Clutching a pineapple bun, Bai Mo suddenly understood why the Immortal Committee arranged for him to follow Cai Xiaozhen... They were playing this scheme?
...
In the vast West State, one after another, vibrant neon signs gradually extinguished.
One lighting lamp after another on the roads lit up sequentially.
In the streets and alleys, people with their families left their homes and rushed to the nearest refuge protection area.
"What’s going on?"
"Why the sudden evacuation?"
"Such things will likely become more frequent, right."
"Oh dear, Mom, hurry up, don’t bring the suitcase!"
"Where is the refuge area anyway?"
The speaker suddenly hesitated.
They all saw that the park across the road was suddenly enveloped by a giant, cool light shield.
This light shield was hazy and moon-like.
...
In the grand West State, in the streets and alleys, from east to west, from south to north, one after another, cool light shields appeared and lit up.
Some people originally lived within the light shield.
Others swarmed like moving ants, quickly traversing streets and alleys to rush into the light shield.
Still, others lived too far from the light shield and received notification to shelter urgently at home.
"Hey, doesn’t West State have the West State Boss? Do we really need to be so panicked?"
"We’re here in the protection shield mainly so that when they act, they won’t be hindered, with no worries.
"Otherwise, when the fight starts, any shockwaves even brush us a bit, and we can’t take it."
"Oh right, anyway, the West State Boss is bound to win."
...
Buzz...
Buzz...
Buzz...
One drone after another flew into the night sky, bringing cameras, either flying into streets and alleys to guide residents to shelter.
Or flew into Happiness Peninsula to check the latest situation.
Pack after pack of mechanical dogs surged in, rushing into Happiness Peninsula, entering building after building.
