69: Never leave the underground!

“These are Void Creatures?”

Xia Qi was filled with shock. From the first day he experienced Transmigration, on the school playground in Jiangcheng, he had already seen these monsters.

At that time, he thought these strange creatures were some kind of black technology.

Something similar to a black technology spaceship or the like.

But who knew, these things were completely Void Creatures, the natural enemies of the Human Race.

“I remember, when I came earlier, there weren't that many monsters in the sky.”

Xia Qi suddenly recalled that he had unconsciously looked at the sky when he was teleported to the examination hall.

At that time, there were only a few scattered Void Creatures, nothing like now, where they stretched as far as the eye could see, densely packed and giving people goosebumps.

At this moment, the examinees outside the examination hall also began to pour into the hall.

They couldn't see anything in the sky and were still relatively orderly.

Once people could see that apocalyptic scene, it was likely that chaos would erupt in the next moment.

“So, how did humans defeat these monsters hundreds of years ago?”

Xia Qi knew that it was because of the special nature of his eyes that he could see what others could not.

But did people from hundreds of years ago all have the ability to see Void Creatures like him?

“Xia Qi, why are you still here? Hurry and get into the air-raid shelter!”

Wang Changyuan’s voice rang in his ears, and only then did Xia Qi realize that Wang Changyuan had run to his side.

“Principal, have you seen Void Creatures?”

“Ah?”

“No, I haven’t. What nonsense are you talking about? Come with me quickly.”

“Okay.”

Xia Qi silently nodded, taking one last look at the protective shield in the sky. At this moment, a gap had been torn in the protective shield.

Countless Void Creatures began to pour into Yuzhang City.

Moreover, looking at their flight paths, they weren't flying aimlessly but were searching for something.

Until a mantis-like monster discovered the examination hall, and in an instant, all Void Creatures turned their gaze towards the examinees present.

“This is bad!”

Xia Qi’s heart jolted. Such billions of Void Creatures were clearly not something these students could handle.

Calmly following the examinees into the air-raid shelter, the next second, a translucent protective shield reappeared above the examination hall.

This was raised by the several Great Examiners inside the examination hall for emergencies and was comparable in strength to the protective shield above the city.

The only difference was that the city’s protective shield was set up by Formation Masters and driven by energy stones as its core.

However, the examination hall's protective shield required manual energy input and was a one-time consumable.

Yun Qingyue saw Xia Qi in the crowd and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Xia Qi hadn't continued to stay outside; who knew when he might have encountered danger.

Since the principals of various middle schools were present, and the underground air-raid shelter was quite spacious, over fifty thousand examinees gathered together according to their respective schools.

Jiangcheng No. 1 High School’s group.

“Xia Qi, you’re amazing! Before entering the examination hall, I saw that you also got a perfect score on the fifth round of the exam. You’re now the top scorer in the national college entrance examination!”

“Yes, Xia Qi is now the pride of our Jiangcheng! If it weren’t for the sudden Void invasion, we should be celebrating for Xia Qi right now.”

“We haven’t heard of a Void invasion for many years. We’re so unlucky; we can only hide underground.”

“Exactly! I really want to see what the legendary Void Creatures look like.”

“Don’t even mention it, I want to know too.”

“+1....”

The examinees from the same school were discussing excitedly. Xia Qi silently thought to himself, “It’s better if you don’t see them.”

This was truly no joke.

When you discover that the entire world is filled with these indescribably strange creatures, you will subconsciously feel that it’s better not to see them.

That extreme sense of oppression and powerlessness was something others could not experience.

“Children.”

Suddenly, the broadcast in the underground space sounded.

“This is General Hu.”

Whoosh!

Everyone in the underground air-raid shelter widened their eyes, utterly shocked.

“Xi Jiang War God General Hu! My goodness, this is one of the Ten Great War Gods of Dragon Country!”

“Oh my god, I actually heard the voice of the Xi Jiang War God! How exciting!”

General Hu was the only War God to emerge from Xijiang Province in recent decades, and also one of the Ten Great War Gods of Dragon Country, ranked ninth.

In the hearts of the people of Xijiang Province, General Hu’s status was comparable to that of the Grand Elder of Capital City.

His voice, once it appeared, immediately caused a strong reaction among the crowd.

Which of these newly adult examinees hadn't grown up listening to the stories of the great General Hu?

Ninety-nine percent of them had once taken General Hu as their role model, striving towards him as their goal.

Unlike the examinees, the expressions of the principals of various middle schools became serious.

Even General Hu was speaking, which indicated that this Void invasion was clearly not a minor skirmish but a very serious invasion event.

Could it be very serious?

All the principals suddenly had a bad premonition.

General Hu’s voice sounded again, “Monsters from the Void Realm have invaded the real world.”

“But everyone, there’s no need to worry. I am currently repairing the Void rift. It will take about half an hour.”

“However, within this half an hour, I don't have extra strength to protect you, because the Void Creatures’ target is the hope of our Human Race, which is you.”

“Therefore, in this half an hour while I repair the Void rift, you must protect yourselves.”

“The City Guard will also fight alongside you, and your principals must protect the children.”

“Remember, absolutely do not go outside to the surface. The battle on the surface will be handled by the adults.”

“If the surface falls, and it comes to that final step, you only need to unite. We, the citizens of Dragon Country, do not fear battle, nor do we fear death.”

General Hu’s words were extremely infectious. Under the influence of their idol, all the examinees felt a surging Battle Intent.

“Do not fear battle, nor fear death!”

....

The examinees were all at the vibrant age of 18.

It was easy to stir their emotions, and they shouted slogans with great passion.

Even the school beauty Yun Qingyue was infected and couldn't help but shout a few lines along with them.

But after shouting, seeing the silent Xia Qi, she stopped shouting as well.

Why did Xia Qi look so melancholic?

It was the first time she had seen such a serious expression on Xia Qi.

It wasn't that Xia Qi didn't want to shout along; it was just that his mood was too heavy at the moment, and he hadn't recovered from the scene on the playground.

He recalled again that before the fifth round of the examination, his left eye had shown abnormalities, which was likely related to the Void invasion.

Moreover, he thought of another thing.

“Never let anyone know the secret of your eyes!”

The bloody words on his ceiling seemed to have appeared precisely to warn him of this moment.
