52: Chapter 52 Random Rift

"Oh my~"

Officer Li had an exaggerated expression and slapped his thigh hard.

"This Chen Mo is too fierce. From the beginning until now, he must have killed several hundred Ghost Hounds all by himself, right?"

"Holy crap, that punch turned the Ghost Hound directly into minced meat!"

Officer Zhao was also shouting and hollering, while Director Gu Sanding covered Xueni's eyes.

The scene was truly too bloody and brutal; Chen Mo was ravaging the group of Abyss Beasts like a meat grinder.

"Old Li, what do you think would happen if Chen Mo gave you a punch like that..."

Officer Zhao turned his head to look at Officer Li, whom he had worked with for over a decade, and asked with some curiosity.

"Get out of here, if that punch landed, wouldn't I be punched clean through?"

Officer Li rolled his eyes; even if he was a Rank 3 Martial Artist, he couldn't withstand a punch of that magnitude.

What kind of First-Grade Martial Artist could kill several First-Grade Abyss Beasts just with the shockwave of a single punch...

"When will it ever clear up..."

After confirming that Chen Mo would definitely not suffer any losses in the Joint Exam, Director Gu Sanding had started to worry.

He had promised the children that he would let them watch Brother Mo's performance, but he couldn't bring the TV back, and Chen Mo's performance was too bloody and violent.

Was he, as the director, going to break his promise?

"Oh my, the ground is shaking from that punch!"

Officer Li was watching with great interest, especially that last punch from Chen Mo, which had directly blasted dozens of Ghost Hounds from the ground into mid-air.

"Hmm?"

Officer Zhao, who was on the side, felt something was wrong and placed his hand on the ground to feel something carefully.

"Are TVs this advanced now?"

"It even comes with haptic feedback..."

"Hmm?!"

Officer Li also noticed something was wrong and stood up abruptly, feeling the slight tremors of the ground.

"Is it an earthquake?"

"No, that's not right!"

Officer Zhao sensed something and whipped his head around to look outside the door.

Crack!

Rumble!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the ground at the entrance of the Orphanage suddenly exploded, creating a large hole.

A purplish-red Abyssal Rift flickered, and a large claw, half a person's height, reached out from inside.

"Random Abyssal Rift!!!"

Officer Zhao's eyes were wide with fury, and he grabbed Director Gu Sanding and Xueni, running like a madman towards the warehouse in the depths of the Orphanage.

"Old Li! Don't make a sound, don't let the Abyss Beasts detect your presence!"

Officer Li's breathing became heavy; he never thought he would actually encounter such a thing.

All this time, random Abyssal Rifts had been an extremely low-probability event, the kind that many people wouldn't encounter even once in their lives.

"Should I consider myself unlucky or lucky..."

Officer Li quickly calmed down, took out his walkie-talkie, and began to request reinforcements.

"What?"

"I know you have to evacuate the public, but there is a random rift right here..."

"Short-staffed? What do you mean at least fifteen or sixteen random rifts have appeared in the Old District???"

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Officer Li turned his head to look at the Abyssal Rift, from which various Abyss Beasts were pouring out endlessly, and his heart began to pound wildly.

"Damn..."

Over a dozen random rifts; the fall of the Old District would happen in a matter of minutes.

All they could do now was wait for the military's rescue; the limited armed forces of the Martial Education Bureau were no longer enough to do anything.

Officer Li knew clearly in his heart that his primary duty now was to protect Director Gu Sanding and Xueni well.

He could only pray that the heavy rain would wash away the traces and scents of their presence...

"What's the situation?"

Officer Zhao hid Xueni and Director Gu Sanding in the warehouse, then came out alone to find Officer Li and asked.

"There's no support; we can only wait for the military's rescue."

Officer Li sighed and said in a very low voice.

"All we can do now is protect ourselves and protect Director Gu and Xueni."

"Alright."

Officer Zhao also sighed after hearing there was no support; now they could only rely on themselves.

"I hope the military is fast..."

...

Meanwhile, inside the Joint Exam command center.

Governor Sun Jingan put down his phone, his expression becoming exceptionally grave.

"Old Zhou, take your people back to Luo City immediately to provide support."

"Random Abyssal Rifts have appeared within Luo City, and they are all in the Old District, sixteen in total."

"The military has already rushed over, and as the Director of the Martial Education Bureau, you must also appear on the front lines!"

Zhou Sanlang stood up abruptly and turned to leave without the slightest hesitation.

But after walking a few steps, Zhou Sanlang turned back to look at Governor Sun Jingan.

"Governor."

"Chenguang Orphanage is also in the Old District."
