When the army started searching the streets, Jiang Liushi's minibus had already returned to the residence area, and everyone had gone back to rest.

"Zhang Haojing actually sold us to the people coming from the Huaxia Region. It's obvious that he did all that with an ulterior motive. Now that he is dead, Brother Jiang will be the prime suspect," said Li Yuxin worriedly.

"It's useless. After all, they can't find any evidence," said Jiang Zhuying leisurely, holding her PC as she laid on the sofa.

"Yeah, Zhuying is right, but we have to pay more attention to them. From what Zhang Haojing revealed, he hadn't any chance to meet with that man. The higher-ups from Huaxia Region have sent that man to guide and supervise the Jiangning Safety Zone's construction, which means that he is paramount and powerful. Even General Zhang has to take his opinion into consideration," said Ran Xiyu.

"Don't worry. We can roll with the punches," reassured Jiang Liushi.

Commissioner Chu was a good example. That man from Huaxia Region couldn't fight against his Shi Ying Squad openly. Jiang Liushi believed that Zhang Haojing's death couldn't cause any ripple.

Early in the morning of the next day…

Suddenly the Safety Zone's siren reverberated throughout the whole area, leading to a chain of events.

The Safety Zone's residents were awakened from their sleep, and they rushed to their windows, looking outside. At first, many people could not still see it clearly, but gradually, some people spotted a black shadow amongst countless high-rise buildings.

"What is that?!" Some people exclaimed.

Jiangning's urban area was covered with fog, and a black shadow was trembling. That shadow seemed to have no specific shape as it was constantly changing forms.

More and more people had started to notice that shadow. In the beginning, people thought it was some kind of mirage, but gradually, they started to panic as that shadow was approaching them! But the distance was too far, so they simply couldn't see what it was at all. They could only speculate on it.

Jiang Liushi was also standing by the window, watching the black shadow in the distance.

'Warning! Dangerous energy was detected. Threat level: Extinction!' Starseed's cold mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Liushi's mind.

'That's what destroyed Hejiang Town!?' thought Jiang Liushi.

"What is this?" Jiang Liushi hurriedly asked Starseed.

'Detection process…The dangerous body of energy belongs to a unique organism and grows very strongly. It can achieve rapid growth by eating a large amount of food. Its feeding targets include living organisms, various metals, and minerals. It can sleep for a long time. After waking up, it will eat a lot and return to the adulthood state. Currently, the dangerous body of energy has awakened after its sleep,' transmitted Starseed.

'Oh, that explains a lot.' Jiang Liushi understood immediately.

When Starseed had sensed that body of energy, it was still weak, but now it had become much stronger. With his vision, Jiang Liushi could see through the gray fog and observer the black shadow clearly. The black shadow's surface was covered with thick layers of scales, but under the scales was no actual flesh and blood.

After observing it for a long time, Jiang Liushi felt as if snowflakes and black spots had appeared on his eyes. Wherever the shadow passed, all the zombies and metals in its path would be devoured. The residents could not see that, but Jiang Liushi could.

'This thing has just woken up from its dormant state? Did it appear at the begging of doomsday?'

After doomsday, everything was possible. Even monsters from sci-fi movie could be accepted. But Jiang Liushi's Starseed would not give off such a warning for any regular monster.

Suddenly, Jiang Liushi felt a strong sense of crisis. Although there were no changes with the black shadow, he felt as if the shadow was staring back at him! It had found him! When Starseed had scanned it, it had also noticed Starseed's existence!

After that, the shadow's speed seemed to have improved a bit!

"F*ck!" Jiang Liushi cursed.

Be it the people living in the Safety Zone or Jiang Liushi's Starseed, they were the shadow's target. It was a horrifying situation!

However, they couldn't simply await their impending doom.

'Wang Shiqi should contact me today,' thought Jiang Liushi.

…

On the street below, many military vehicles were being driven quickly toward the wall. At the same time, several cars were being redirected around the streets and lanes.

"All residents please remain calm. You'll carry out your daily tasks as per usual. Paranormals and survivors' team, please wait for further notice." Such messages were repeated over and over again through the megaphones.

After the collapse of Hejiang Town, many new survivors had joined the Safety Zone. And all of them had to fight unless they gave up on entering the Safety Zone and fleeing on their own.

"I have a very uncomfortable feeling about that black shadow. It should still be a very strong psychic body of energy," said Ran Xiyu with her pale face. The black shadow's mental energy should be extremely powerful to make Ran Xiyu feel that way. In other words, it was impossible for Ran Xiyu to attack it with her mental energy. It was even dangerous for her to try and probe it.

"Xiyu, you don't need to probe it. You just need to pay more attention to the distance between it and us," said Jiang Liushi.

Ran Xiyu nodded. Then, Jiang Liushi looked at that telephone in the room. He was in desperate need of those materials. The closer that black shadow was to him, the stronger the threatening feeling Jiang Liushi got was.

Within the headquarters of the Jiangning Safety Zone…

"What's the matter!? How could this happen!?"

On the monitor screen, the approaching dark shadow was clearly displayed. In the process of approaching the Safety Zone, that black shadow was still growing a little bit at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eyes. In this way, it would swallow the entire Safety Zone bit by bit like a big black mouth. The residences where hundreds of thousands of people lived would eventually disappear, and even the slag would not be left.

Currently, almost all of Jiangning Safety Zone's high-level officers and staff were gathered in the conference room. As for those who were absent, they were all on the wall with the tough responsibility of guarding and fighting.

As a safe haven for human, the Safety Zone, naturally, would attract many zombies and mutant beasts, even monsters. They were all attracted due to the various smells coming from the safety zone. Plus, humans were really appealing to their tastes.

However, this time, things were indeed weird. From the time they had received the report of the monster's appearance, only a few dozen hours had passed. Moreover, the monster was becoming even larger as it continued approaching. It was now as tall as a building.

"Didn't we send a team to eliminate it? How could it be like this!?" An officer asked angrily.

"Everyone from that team sacrificed themselves," said General Zhang with a sad look on his face.

"We named this entity as Black Hole. According to our analysis, the Black Hole seems to have obtained enough energy, so it finished the fusion faster than anticipated. Our team was eliminated by part of it. They were swallowed by it in the blink of an eye. No resistance, no shouting…Everything happened suddenly. The whole army was annihilated, no one survived. We got that intel from one of the officers we had sent to observe the battle."

Every word coming out from General Zhang's mouth turned the atmosphere in the conference room heavier. In the blink of an eye, 2,000 soldiers had perished!
