198: Wang Cao laughed loudly in the rain: I am... the strongest!

Currently, most parts of Xia Country have calmed down, but discussions are still rampant online.

Not just Xia Country, but the internet across almost the entire world is restless today.

Other countries, it can be said, suffered heavy casualties, and their Cities were completely destroyed.

When they learned about the situation in Xia Country, they all became unsettled, completely unable to understand why this was the case.

They had received news last night that Xia Country had the most monsters, with almost every City experiencing monster appearances, and these monsters were even stronger than those in their own regions.

But even so, they managed to control casualties to a minimum?

This was because Xia Country was the source of the spiritual energy tide arranged by Li Mu, and also the location of these Spiritual Veins.

Naturally, during the spiritual energy tide, the Spiritual Qi in Xia Country was much denser than in other countries, leading to the birth of more monsters and Yao Beasts.

Soon after, information about the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, a department in Xia Country, appeared in the hands of these foreign high-level officials.

When they saw the information about the people in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, these high-level officials were all stunned.

They had actually known about this department several months ago.

After all, they had people secretly stationed in Xia Country, but those people couldn't access the Special Affairs Handling Bureau and had no idea what this department actually did.

When it was reported to them at the time, they only glanced at it and didn't take it seriously.

But now, looking at this report, the outrageous combat power of the people in the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, as recorded within, could easily be described as human-shaped missiles.

With such individuals existing, it's no wonder Xia Country was so calm.

Consequently, the high-level officials of these countries began to instruct their hidden personnel in Xia Country to find every possible way to contact the people of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, to see if they could be recruited or otherwise influenced.

...

Amidst the actions of various parties, the overall casualty count was finally released.

In the Eurasian continent, excluding Xia Country, other countries did not experience many monsters or Yao Beasts, with an average of fewer than 100,000 casualties per country, and the number of deaths accounted for only about one-tenth of that.

Among them, the casualties in A-san were the highest!

Because the class stratification there was too severe, those of lower castes suffered greatly last night.

In Xia Country, however, due to Qin Zhe and his team's all-night patrols and defenses, as well as Xiang Wenyan, Wu Ya, Linglong, Li Mu, Wang Cao, and Weng Qinghua defending their respective areas, coupled with soldiers already stationed in other places for prevention, the losses incurred were the smallest.

The death toll was only about four to five hundred people, most of whom were basically due to their own pets mutating.

Since it was night, right when everyone was off work, most people were at home at that time.

When their pets turned into monsters and became ferocious, their owners basically had no chance of escaping!

Only a few lucky ones were still working overtime at the company or happened to be outside, thus escaping harm.

The number of injured was also not large, only six to seven thousand people, and most of them were only lightly injured.

This data was still within a controllable range for the Elders of Xia Country!

After all, this was a global event, and comparatively, Xia Country was simply too safe.

...

East City!

Xiang Wenyan sat on a large concrete slab, with many wounds on her body and her clothes torn.

She was sitting there, watching the official personnel coming and going, cleaning up the scene, while panting heavily and smiling.

She really hadn't expected that she would actually make it through last night, killing many monsters.

She even risked injury to take down two Yao Beasts!

However, she also encountered a very dangerous battle last night, facing two Yao Beasts at the Refining Qi Transformation simultaneously; if Zhao He hadn't happened to come over and save her, she would probably be a stiff corpse by now!

"Ms. Xiang, please come over first. All the monsters here have been cleared by you."

In front of Xiang Wenyan, an official looked at Xiang Wenyan, who was sitting on the concrete slab, with admiration in his eyes, and specifically used a respectful address for her.

He could see that Xiang Wenyan was utterly exhausted at the moment.

However, because she was worried that more monsters might appear, she had stayed there with them, cleaning up the damaged areas of the scene.

"We have prepared new clothes for you, as well as hot water."

The official said, pointing to a temporarily set up tent not far behind him: "They are all inside. You can go wash up first and clean the dust off your body."

"There's also a doctor nearby who can disinfect your wounds later."

Hearing this, Xiang Wenyan showed a faint smile and then stood up.

However, at this moment, because Xiang Wenyan had exhausted her Spiritual Qi, her steps were somewhat unsteady as she walked.

"Thank you all..."

Hearing Xiang Wenyan's words, the official quickly shook his head and waved his hand: "No, no, no, this is nothing. We are the ones who should be thanking you."

"If it weren't for you last night, East City would have been in a terrible state."

Hearing this, Xiang Wenyan shook her head slightly, said nothing more, and then, with the official's assistance, walked towards the tent...

On the other side, Yang City!

The sky here was dim, and it was raining.

Wang Cao sat on a pile of monster and Yao Beast corpses, looking up at the gray clouds, letting the rain wash over him, cleaning off the blood on his body.

Wang Cao was also exhausted at this moment.

However, he then began to laugh uproariously: "Hahahahaha..."

"Indeed, this one is the strongest! Hahahahaha..."

"It's just in time that the weekend is coming. This one can also use these two days to properly recover his Spiritual Qi..."

Saying this, Wang Cao directly lay back on the pile of Yao Beast and monster corpses.

Not far away, a large group of people stood silently under umbrellas, watching, all with hesitation in their eyes, unsure whether they should go forward and offer Wang Cao an umbrella.

Although these monsters and Yao Beasts were dead, the shadow they had cast earlier still lingered!

Among the crowd, there was also one person, whose gaze towards Wang Cao was somewhat complex.

He was Wang Cao's classmate.

Normally, he only thought of Wang Cao as a chuunibyou and did not like to interact with such a chuunibyou.

Or rather, Wang Cao's popularity at school was very poor on weekdays, and only his deskmate Weng Qinghua, who was also a chuunibyou, could get along with him.

But he never expected that this Wang Cao, who was usually isolated by his classmates and only knew how to act chuunibyou.

Last night, he descended like a Heavenly God, pulling him back from the gates of hell...

Whenever he thought of Wang Cao trying to blend in with his classmates, only for them to scatter in disgust upon seeing him, and Wang Cao having to awkwardly use chuunibyou lines to cover up the scene.

He felt a little uneasy inside.

He even felt that if he were in Wang Cao's place, after gaining power, he would probably have already turned dark...
