201: Chapter 201 Unexpected Turn of Events! Meteorite! Mid-Apocalypse!

Shelter, Main Castle.

Lin Yuan was processing documents in his room when the door was gently pushed open.

Xia Bingli walked in, covered in blood, yet still cold and alluring.

"Master." She knelt on one knee: "Mission accomplished. Two hundred and fifty survivors were left, all others were killed."

Lin Yuan looked at her and nodded with satisfaction: "You've worked hard. Go wash up, the smell of blood is too strong."

Xia Bingli nodded.

She stood up to leave but stopped at the door.

She turned her head, her stunning profile looking as perfect as a sculpture under the lights.

Ever since Lin Yuan rescued Bingning, the gratitude in her heart for this man had long surpassed a simple master-servant relationship.

Her loyalty remained in a blue-leaning-green state.

It was a mix of gratitude, awe, and the professional recognition of a killer towards the strong.

"Hmm." Lin Yuan smiled gently: "As long as you don't despise me, you will always be my woman."

Hearing this, a trace of warmth flashed in Xia Bingli's eyes.

She then turned and left to wash off the blood.

Lin Yuan walked to the window and looked at the distant night sky.

Tonight's slaughter was just the beginning.

Did those ignorant fools think they could threaten him by joining forces?

Too naive.

The next morning, all major factions in Jiangcheng received a shocking piece of news.

Sun Wu's elite squad of five hundred had been almost completely wiped out!

Only two hundred and fifty severely injured survivors were found shivering in a pool of blood.

And the perpetrator was just one person.

A silver-haired female assassin.

Underground Shelter, luxury conference room.

General Zhao, Invincible Money, and Li Heavenly Sword sat around the round table with ashen faces.

The Masked Woman at the head of the table had eyes that were terrifyingly cold.

"Five hundred people... half slaughtered by one woman?" General Zhao's voice trembled: "Is she even human?"

"And according to the survivors' descriptions, that woman's fighting style..." Invincible Money swallowed hard: "It's just like the legendary Grim Reaper!"

"Moving through the shadows, killing one person with every strike!"

"Even three A-Rank Espers couldn't last a few minutes!"

Li Heavenly Sword gritted his teeth: "The goddesses under Lin Yuan are more terrifying than we imagined!"

"Now that Sun Wu is crippled, the Evolved Being Guild is effectively dead. Do we still continue?"

All three looked at the Masked Woman, waiting for her decision.

After all, this mysterious woman was their true leader.

The Masked Woman spoke slowly, her voice still as cold as ice: "Continue."

"What?!" The three of them changed color simultaneously.

"That's a monster capable of slaughtering five hundred Ability Users single-handedly!" Invincible Money said in terror: "Do we really want to make an enemy of such an existence?"

"Afraid?" The Masked Woman's eyes were as sharp as knife blades: "If you can't even overcome this small difficulty, what qualifications do you have to survive in the Apocalypse?"

The three were intimidated by her aura and dared not speak again.

The Masked Woman continued: "This man is indeed very strong, but he also has weaknesses."

"He is too arrogant, thinking he can run rampant in the Apocalypse relying on his own strength."

"But he doesn't know that there are existences in this world even more terrifying than him."

Her voice carried a strange tone, as if she knew some secret: "And... something big will happen soon."

"When that time comes, it will be our opportunity."

The three looked at each other, not understanding what she was talking about.

But just then—Rumble!!!

The ground suddenly shook violently!

"An earthquake?!" The three panicked.

But the Masked Woman stood up and walked to the window.

She looked up at the sky, a gleam of excitement flashing in her eyes: "No... it's coming."

"What's coming?" General Zhao asked suspiciously.

"See for yourselves." The Masked Woman pointed outside the window.

The three rushed to the window and looked up at the sky.

Then, they saw a scene they would never forget—in the sky, a giant "meteor" trailing a crimson tail flame was streaking across the horizon!

The tail flame was as bright red as blood, illuminating half the night sky!

The meteor was absurdly huge, a hundred times larger than any meteorite!

"This... what is this?!"

"I've never seen such a huge meteor!"

"It's not going to hit Jiangcheng, is it?!"

The three were stunned by the shocking sight.

Only the Masked Woman revealed a satisfied smile: "Finally... it has begun."

Meanwhile, at the Lin Yuan Shelter.

Luo Qinghan was in her room teasing Xiao Qi, the time pet.

Xiao Qi was a palm-sized silver beast that looked adorable.

But it possessed a terrifying time-perception ability, capable of foreseeing fragments of the future.

"Xiao Qi, do you have any special premonitions today?" Luo Qinghan gently stroked Xiao Qi's fur.

Xiao Qi had been lying lazily, but suddenly its fur stood on end!

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!!!" It let out a sharp cry, its eyes filled with fear!

"Xiao Qi... did you sense it?"

Luo Qinghan's expression was grave, but she was not panicked.

Memories of her previous life told her that this moment would come sooner or later.

The next second, through her mental connection with Xiao Qi, she sensed some blurry images—the crimson meteor in the sky... the ground splitting open, gushing with seven-colored light... countless terrifying auras rising into the sky... and that feeling of despair-inducing pressure...

"As expected... the time has come."

Luo Qinghan took a deep breath, her expression complex.

She would never forget this scene from her past life.

She gently stroked Xiao Qi's fur, her voice gentle and firm: "It's time to tell him."

Main Castle, Lin Yuan's office.

Lin Yuan was studying the development plan for the Shelter when the door was pushed open urgently.

Luo Qinghan walked in, her expression grave and calm: "Lin Yuan, we need to talk."

"What's wrong?" Seeing her like this, Lin Yuan immediately put down the documents in his hand.

"Xiao Qi sensed some images..." Luo Qinghan said slowly: "Something is about to fall from the sky, which will bring about huge changes."

"The impact this time... may be more far-reaching than we imagine."

She didn't reveal the whole truth, but her tone carried a certain predictive conviction.

Lin Yuan frowned, immediately entering a state of high alert: "Where?"

Just then, rapid footsteps came from the research area.

Su Yuyan pushed the door open, holding testing equipment: "Lin Yuan! I've detected strange energy fluctuations!"

"The signal source is from space!"

"Something is descending from outer space toward Earth!"

"The projected landing site... is near Jiangcheng!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression became unprecedentedly grave.

Luo Qinghan's prediction and Su Yuyan's scientific detection both pointed to one fact—something terrifying was about to descend!

"All core members, assemble at the city wall immediately!" Lin Yuan issued the order.

Soon, Su Yuyan, Ye Qingxue, Ye Qingyue, Xia Bingning, Xia Bingli, and other goddesses arrived at the city wall.

Everyone could see the gravity on Lin Yuan's face.

"What happened?" Su Yuyan asked.

Lin Yuan pointed to the sky: "See for yourselves."

The women looked up and immediately gasped.

In the sky, a giant "meteor" trailing a crimson tail flame was falling toward the ground at an astonishing speed!

The tail flame was as bright red as blood, illuminating the entire night sky!

The meteor was absurdly huge, larger than any meteorite!

"This... what is this thing?!" Ye Qingyue exclaimed.

Luo Qinghan looked at the crimson meteor, a complex light flashing in her eyes: "The guide of the mid-Apocalypse... it has truly arrived."

Her voice was calm but carried a fixed gravity: "The place where it lands will undergo earth-shattering changes for ten thousand miles around."

"What kind of changes?" Lin Yuan frowned tightly.

"Opportunity and death coexist..." Luo Qinghan's voice was calm but deep: "That area will become the most dangerous, yet also the most affluent region."

"Countless SSS-Rank Evolved Beasts will be born, but at the same time... the probability of rare treasures appearing will also be extremely high."

Her words sounded like stating a known fact.

The women listened, heart-stricken.

SSS-Rank Evolved Beasts?

They had just witnessed the terror of the Magic Dragon; if "countless" of them appeared... how terrifying would that be?

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

A huge roar came from the sky.

The crimson meteor had entered the atmosphere and was burning intensely!

But strangely, it did not disintegrate; instead, it became even hotter!

"It's about to land!" Xia Muqing stared intently at the testing equipment: "Projected landing site..."

Boom!!!

An earth-shattering roar came!

The ground shook violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred!

A giant mushroom cloud rose from the distant mountains!

The shockwave swept over; even from tens of kilometers away, the women on the city wall felt a terrifying sense of oppression!

"Such... such a strong impact!" Ye Qingxue gritted her teeth, resisting the shockwave.

But the more terrifying part was yet to come—rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

Centered on the meteorite's impact point, a violent mutation began within a radius of ten thousand miles!

The ground split open, gushing with seven-colored light!

The energy concentration in the air skyrocketed dozens of times!

The entire sky was dyed in gorgeous seven colors!

"Oh my god... what is this scene?!" The women watched the light in the distance, which looked like a fairyland, feeling both shocked and terrified.

Luo Qinghan said gravely: "That area has now become another world."

"It will give birth to countless SSS-Rank Evolved Beasts, but at the same time... the probability of rare treasures appearing will also be extremely high!"

Lin Yuan looked into the distance with a grave expression: "It seems that the real battle for control... is about to begin."

The area shrouded in seven-colored light was destined to become the focus of contention for all factions.

Danger and opportunity coexisted.

To obtain those precious treasures, one had to face the threat of SSS-Rank Evolved Beasts.

And it wasn't just them; other factions in Jiangcheng must have seen this scene too.

Soon, everyone would flock to that area.

An unprecedented Apocalypse crisis was about to unfold!

Far away in the underground Shelter, the Masked Woman looked at the distant seven-colored light, a gleam of excitement flashing in her eyes: "It has finally arrived..."

She turned to look at the three men who were speechless from shock: "Now do you know what is meant by 'more terrifying existence'?"

"That area is the key for us to defeat Lin Yuan!"

General Zhao asked with a trembling voice: "You... you knew this would happen all along?"

"Of course." The Masked Woman smiled mysteriously: "The true secrets of the Apocalypse are far deeper than you imagine."

"And now, the second stage has just begun."

She looked at the area shrouded in seven-colored light: "There is something I need there."

"And there is also the power that can allow us to defeat Lin Yuan."

The three looked at each other, seeing deep shock and fear in each other's eyes.

What was the origin of this mysterious woman?

Why did she know so much about the secrets of the Apocalypse?

And that area shrouded in seven-colored light... what earth-shattering secret was hidden there?

The moonlight was covered by the seven-colored light, and the entire Jiangcheng was shrouded in a gorgeous yet eerie glow.
