206: Chapter 206 The Second Disaster

The next day, a shocking piece of news stunned Lime City: a gas explosion occurred in a villa in the rich district, and Howard Clifford’s two younger brothers, Lawrence and Richard, unfortunately died on the spot in the explosion.

Howard also sustained minor injuries.

"I have lost my last remaining relatives," Howard sobbed, sitting on his hospital bed facing the camera. The old man's cries brought tears to countless listeners, filling them with sorrow.

People rushed to the hospital or expressed their condolences online.

Afterward, Lin Fang returned to the company and met with some of the company's senior executives to prevent them from not even knowing what their boss looked like in the end.

After a brief chat,

Lin Fang went to his office, frowning slightly at the box on his desk. It contained the R Virus researched by Howard’s scientific team. He had tried to store it in his Spacetime Package but failed.

It seems his plunder ability is due to the Black Star. If he doesn't enter a dimension through the Black Star, he can't use the Spacetime Package to contain individuals, and naturally, he can't exchange them for plunder points.

However, the benefit of this is not having to worry about the rapid increase in weight leading to the arrival of disaster.

He decided to wait until the disaster in the Pacific Ocean showed some signs before continuing to increase the weight of this dimension.

Before that,

Lin Fang needed to quickly expand the company's influence in the Pokémon World. Now, with Clifford Company as an overt partner, some products from the real world should also appear in this world.

The first to be introduced would be Metabolix Diet Pills, followed by anti-cancer drugs...

——

More than a month quietly passed; in the blink of an eye, it was January. On Earth, many people were already looking forward to the Spring Festival.

Disaster Countdown: 00:50:36

It was already two o'clock in the morning, less than an hour until the disaster. Lin Fang and the Clone Soldiers arrived at the Pacific Ocean.

If anyone were to pass by this sea area at this moment, they would surely be horrified and scared out of their wits by the sight before them.

Under the dark night sky, the cold seawater was like black silk. However, above this vast darkness, a massive fleet stood on the sea.

This was a fleet that belonged to no nation, one that had never appeared before, belonging to an unknown force.

This fleet was silent in the night, with only a deadly stillness and order. They were like a group of hunters from deep space, perfectly blending into the night before their prey appeared.

Lin Fang frowned as he watched the various monitors in the aircraft carrier. If the situation weren't urgent, he wouldn't risk bringing the fleet here, as it could easily provoke conflict, exposing him to the eyes of all nations.

As for the origin of this fleet, it naturally came from the selfless contributions and survival of the fittest among various nations in the movie world. Lin Fang picked and chose to form this invincible super fleet.

Even if a Godzilla were to emerge from the rift, it would lose a mouthful of teeth.

Since he didn't know what anomalies might appear on the other side of the rift, Lin Fang naturally had to prepare a countermeasure.

Looking at the gradually expanding rift, Xiao Hei said worriedly:

[Boss, if a situation like that on Titan occurs, we won't be able to stop it now.]

"Then let's announce all of this."

Lin Fang shook his head slightly, preparing for the worst. "I will open a large Wormhole to an alternate dimension in Central Continent. Then we'll see who runs the fastest."

"Tell Long Yi and Long Er to prepare to evacuate my father."

[Received.]

After asking Xiao Hei to pay attention to a few more things, Lin Fang focused his attention on the continuously expanding spatial rift. The countdown was now rapidly approaching its end, with less than half a minute remaining.

Disaster Countdown: 00:00:28

Lin Fang's eyes narrowed slightly. The commotion caused by this rift was much smaller than the one underground, at least it didn't cause a spatial collapse. Could this mean that the things on the other side are not as terrifying as those on Titan, which would be good news?

The last few seconds vanished in a flash, and a Rosen Bridge leading to an unknown area formed on the sea, differing greatly in shape from the one in the Black Watch Base.

This Rosen Bridge was about 100 meters in diameter, shaped like a pitch-black mirror, but viewed from the side, this mirror seemed to have no thickness.

Other than that, it was somewhat quiet, with no monsters emerging from it, which surprised Lin Fang a little.

But that was good; he could first see what kind of place it was on the other side. A Clone Soldier approached the Rosen Bridge and threw a wired multi-functional reconnaissance robot crawler into this black mirror.

The next second, the screen displayed real-time images transmitted back by the crawler.

After a tumultuous journey, the robot crawler steadily landed on the ground. It was a land covered in blue fungal mats, with giant structures resembling fungal stalks rising in the distance...

Why does this place feel somewhat familiar?

Lin Fang focused, staring intently at the blue fungal mat on the screen. This strange ecosystem, this characteristic of assimilating organic matter... wasn't this Andi Star?

The planet where the Precursors, the Kaminax Tribe, lived in this Pacific Rim Dimension.

The other side of this Rosen Bridge was actually Andi Star?!

Lin Fang's heart skipped a beat. Three months ago, the Kaminax Tribe and their Kaiju had completed their final migration. All that remained on this planet were some lower-level creatures and abandoned facilities.

What dangers could there be on this planet?

It's worth noting that there is also a Wormhole leading here from the Kaminax Tribe's territory on Titan.

Hiss—this uncertainty gave Lin Fang a headache. It would have been better if it were a Godzilla.

Lin Fang said, "Xiao Hei, send a team of Clone Soldiers to the other side to investigate. If they find anything unusual, report back immediately."

Following Lin Fang's command, five Clone Soldiers, like fearless warriors, crossed the Rosen Bridge to explore the planet.

At this time, Lin Fang also had the Black Watch Base send people to the Kaminax Tribe's territory to verify if the two Wormholes led to the same Andi Star.

When Lin Fang received their signals, the result was self-evident: it was the same planet.

Three hours later, the five Clone Soldiers returned, but unfortunately, they found no valuable clues. In the temporary isolation tent on the deck, no abnormal vital signs or parasitic traces were found either.

The microbial composition was also as originally recorded in the system.

The mystery deepened...

This disaster certainly wasn't without cause, but what exactly was it?

Watching the sky gradually brighten, Lin Fang's expression was somewhat complex. This Rosen Bridge couldn't be hidden; it was less than 100 kilometers from the PDA Base, practically under the noses of all nations.

And he couldn't solve the disaster for now...

It seems he would have to try another method. Lin Fang ordered the fleet to withdraw and make a run for it... No, it was a strategic retreat.

As for this Rosen Bridge, let the nations worry about it. Lin Fang had also checked, the Kaminax Tribe's Wormhole was on the other end of this Rosen Bridge, separated by an entire planet, so there was no risk of exposure for a while.

As for the Rosen Bridge that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean...

Whoever wants it can take it.
