55: Chapter 55 Anomaly: Earthquake!

Inside the Koukou Group.

Various videos, various photos...

Seven or eight-meter-long tigers roamed the streets, biting humans at will; even armed forces and tanks were deployed.

Ginseng wine that had been sealed in a glass jar for decades—the ginseng inside actually turned into a fair-skinned, red-lipped baby!

Someone grew two horns on their head!

There was even a hen emitting flames all over its body, standing as tall as half a person...

In one of the videos, someone even captured a 'Dragon' swimming in the river of Jianghai City!!!

Looking at those videos in the group, Chu Xiao fell into a deep silence. He knew these must be real and that they all happened last night and this morning.

During this period, wasn't it because he upgraded the System?

Thinking of the Golden Tortoise and Golden Snake at home, the creatures inside those stones in the backyard, and the female corpse Sealed in the ancient bronze coffin.

Chu Xiao subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

So that's how it is!

So when the System said it would cause irreversible changes to the world, it meant this!

"My god, these are way too realistic!"

Su Xiaowan and the other lolis were all incredibly shocked. Their first reaction was that these videos and photos must be fake, forged by people or synthesized by AI.

With technology so advanced nowadays, isn't it easy to forge some videos and photos?

However, after they repeatedly verified with the people in the group, they began to waver.

Someone in the group said: "What bullsh*t AI! These are all real! The country is going crazy right now! All major platforms and news outlets are blocking the news! It's incredibly strict! If our group didn't have so few people and were all close bros, I wouldn't dare post this! If things go south, I might be invited to drink tea by special agencies!"

Seeing this message.

Su Xiaowan instantly understood. She turned to look at Chu Xiao and said with a trembling voice, "Boss! Our livestream room wasn't banned for this reason, was it?"

Chu Xiao was speechless: "...!!!"

He didn't know what to say. After all his calculations, he never expected that a casual System upgrade would bring such a massive change to the world.

Just then.

A person in the group named Fat Daoist Master said: "The world has changed! Last night I observed the stars and calculated a hexagram! Guess what the hexagram said!"

Su Xiaowan quickly typed: "Hurry up and say it! Don't keep us in suspense!"

Fat Daoist Master replied quickly: "The hexagram says: Heaven and earth are in turmoil, Yin and Yang are indistinguishable, and Chaos is emerging!... In a nutshell, the end of the world is coming! The globe will enter a new, unknown era! Whether humans can remain the protagonists in the future is probably up in the air! Brothers and sisters! Eat and drink while you can! Don't take things to heart! I've already resigned! I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The group instantly exploded, and those who were lurking all 'came back from the dead.'

"@Fat Daoist Master, don't scare people! What end of the world? Don't make that kind of joke! I just got married, and your sister-in-law just got pregnant!"

"@Fat Daoist Master, bullsh*t end of the world! We survived 2012; I don't believe my luck is so bad that I'd catch the final wave!"

"Sigh! I've said enough. If you want to survive well, you can try to Cultivate! I received a call from my School this morning; they said the Spiritual Qi has recovered and told me to return to the mountain gate for secluded meditation! For the next period of time, I won't be online! My phone will be confiscated! Oh no... I just calculated another hexagram! There's an earthquake in Jianghai City! Run!"

"...!"

"@Fat Daoist Master, what Cultivate? Explain clearly, hey!"

"@Fat Daoist Master, what earthquake!"

The group members hurriedly followed up with questions, but the person named Fat Daoist Master never replied again.

A few minutes later.

Flocks of birds flew across the sky like dark clouds, and countless rats scurried out of the sewers and onto the streets.

All sorts of small animals exhibited abnormalities.

Immediately after.

An earthquake suddenly erupted!

Tall buildings collapsed one after another...

Yuhuwan Villa was, naturally, safe and sound. The villas here cost a fortune, were all cast from reinforced concrete, and were very sturdy.

The sudden earthquake caught everyone off guard.

And such things didn't just happen in Jianghai City. All over the world, disasters of varying degrees broke out: floods, fires, earthquakes, snowstorms, hail, mudslides, landslides...

The entire world was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The climate also became eerie.

"Boss... can I take leave? I want to go home and check, I..."

Su Xiaowan's pretty face turned pale with fright.

The other three little lolis were also terrified; it was their first time experiencing an earthquake.

Chu Xiao suddenly realized: "Alright! I'll give you all leave. Be safe on the way back! Call me immediately if there's any problem!"

Soon.

In the entire villa, all the housekeepers and nannies took leave. In the face of disaster, no one had the heart to work; they all wanted to go home and see if their relatives were safe.

Only Chu Xiao and Chu Lingyin were left in the huge villa.

Chu Lingyin said with a giggle: "Big brother! Big brother! That was so fun just now! Shaking back and forth! It was really interesting!"

Chu Xiao quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Whether it was a coincidence or not, after Chu Lingyin said those words, a small aftershock indeed occurred.

The ground trembled, and rosy light flickered in the sky.

That was the light emitted because the underground energy erupted and collided with the atmosphere.

The whole world became extremely eerie.

Just like the end of the world!!!

Looking at the mess in the house, with various decorations and furniture fallen all over the floor, and jars and cans shattered everywhere.

"Holy crap!"

Chu Xiao suddenly remembered something and thought, 'Oh no!' He quickly picked up Chu Lingyin and ran toward the backyard.

At his speed, it only took half a minute to reach the small house in the backyard. The surroundings of the small house were terrifyingly quiet.

Chu Xiao swallowed his saliva and activated his X-ray Vision. His gaze pierced through the door toward the ancient bronze coffin leaning against the wall.

He saw that a corner of the ancient bronze coffin's lid had cracked open at some point, and a fair hand with sharp, razor-edged claws had reached out from within.

"We're screwed!"

Chu Xiao exclaimed. His first instinct was to take his sister and run, but on second thought, if he fled and this Female Zombie was born, the consequences would be unimaginable!

With his current strength, could he even defeat this Female Zombie??

It was unknown!

Just as Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment.

At the critical moment.

He saw that the withered wood in the center of the small house, specifically that jade-white tender sprout, actually flickered with circles of purple light arcs. It erupted with a startling bolt of lightning that struck the ancient bronze coffin.

The Female Zombie inside let out a shrill scream, and then there was no more movement.

Seeing this scene.

Chu Xiao was subconsciously stunned and muttered to himself, "What on earth is that sapling? It can actually make a Female Zombie so terrified that she doesn't dare move an inch!"
