Female Novel
Chapter 2099
James remained in Wyrmstead for the rest of the day.
As news of what was happening around the world poured in, he dreaded the worst.
As night fell, black rain poured from the sky once again.
Due to the events last night, no one wandered about outside and simply remained indoors.
Tonight’s rain was less destructive than last night's.
In a city in Sol…
Murky water flowed through the underground drainage system as carcasses of mice were soaked inthe water.
From the corner, a giant rat appeared. It was about half a meter in length, and its teeth were sharpand menacing. It was a mutated rat. After being contaminated by the rainwater, unknown virusesentered its body, causing its body to mutate at a rapid pace. Possessing great strength, it leapedinto the air and landed a few meters away. As its enormous body slammed against the wall of theunderground drainage, cracks began appearing.
At the same time, many animals began mutating all over the world. Some ants were now larger thanoxen, and some animals were now as gigantic as mountains. After being contaminated by the virus,they mutated in a short amount of time.
At 10 p.m., James was sitting in the main hall of Wyrmstead Palace.
“James.”
At that moment, Henry came rushing in.
“What’s wrong?”
James, who was deep in contemplation, collected himself. Upon seeing Henry’s anxious face, heasked, “Did something bad happen?”
Henry said, “I just received news from Sol that a group of rats has mutated in Hulilau City, allowingthem to possess enormous strength. The rats have caused great destruction to human lives andproperty, generating great disturbances within the city. As of now, more than fifty thousand peoplehave been killed.”
Upon hearing this, James’ expression turned grim.
Henry continued, “Some martial artists within Sol have headed in the direction of Hulilau City toexterminate these mutated rats.
“Besides, many animals have mutated overnight. Both their strength and their size have increased.Many regions in Sol have fallen into disorder.”
Henry brought much news.
All the events seemed to be taking place in Sol.
James could do nothing about them.
He asked, “How’s the situation at Wyrmstead?”
Henry said, “As the Black Dragon Army is made up of martial artists, the situation is stable at themoment. Although their ranks are low, they aren’t affected by the rain. Apart from the four hundredthousand Black Dragon Army that has entered the Celestial Abode, many others are on duty. Oncethe mutated creatures show themselves, they’ll annihilate them on the spot.”
Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief.
It appeared that his efforts were not in vain. At least Wyrmstead was stable when the Calamity hit.
James ordered, “Instruct all civilians to remain indoors at all times. Should there be anyemergencies, order them to make contact with the Black Dragon Army in the area. They should onlyleave with the company of the army.”novelbin
“Understood.”
Henry nodded and turned to leave swiftly.
After he left the palace, Thea walked in. She was dressed in black, and her long black hair waved inthe air. Her features were fine and delicate, accentuating her beauty.
While she was outside the palace, she overheard Henry’s summary of the situation. Not only that,but she was also keeping a close eye on the Martial Arts Forum.
She walked toward James and sat beside him, gently grabbing his arm.
“Don’t worry, Darling. Soon, everything will be over.”
“I hope so.”
