"Quickly arrange for people to move to shelters, or remind them to hide in subway stations, shopping malls, or basements of other residential areas."
Since the Godfall Continent began to show its extraordinary nature, the Flower Country has started building shelters in various places, not for any other reason than to provide a place to temporarily take refuge when disaster strikes.
"How much Green Crystal do we have left in our inventory?"
"There aren't many left, just over a dozen. With the barrier taking such massive damage, we can only hold out for another 10 minutes at most."
The value of Green Crystal is a hundred times that of Gold Coin, but in the Black Market of the Godfall Continent, its true price is about 20% higher, making it an extremely precious resource.
Therefore, over the past few months, the official staff of Jing have accumulated a large number of crystals. Apart from spending a large amount on resources for cultivating strong individuals, only a few dozen Green Crystal remain as reserves for unforeseen needs.
Unexpectedly, a single attack depleted all of Shizuka's spirit crystal reserves.
The leader took a deep breath.
"Ten minutes? Have you received the message from above? How long will it take for the rescue team to arrive?"
"It will take at least 30 minutes."
"In other words, we need at least 30 more Green Crystal to replenish the energy of the barrier? Let's crowdfund it..." the leader sighed softly.
He wouldn't usually make such a decision unless absolutely necessary, but now it concerns the lives of everyone in the city.
When a subordinate wanted to carry out an order, the leader would remember something and stop him.
"Wait, never mind, I'll just apply for a transfer directly to my superiors."
The system's transfer function can also extract crystals. Given the current crisis facing Jing, it's impossible that the higher-ups wouldn't even be willing to allocate these few crystals.
To some extent, this is also an advantage of having a powerful country as a backer. If there were no country as a support, most of the people in the city would probably be in dire straits once they ran out of crystals.
After all, no one knows how terrifying these fireballs are, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't directly smash into the basement.
When Yun Ya arrived at the rooftop of the apartment building, she was surprised to see two figures suddenly appear in the darkness outside the defensive barrier.
One was tall and the other short, one was fat and the other thin, both dressed in robes that covered their entire bodies, and even when they lifted their fingertips, they wore tightly fitted gloves.
She immediately noticed that, as the tall man moved, the raging fireballs seemed to consciously avoid the two of them and continue to hurl at the defensive barrier.
Yun Xi frowned slightly. Didn't the Information Extraction Technique say that the person who used this all-encompassing attack treasure was thousands of miles away?
Do these two also have the authority to manipulate and authorize? If so, it's not just an individual act, but an organized force plotting against Shizuka.
The short, fat man among them had extremely sharp senses. He looked directly towards the direction of the official building, and then suddenly looked towards Yun Xi.
"Hey, there really are some fearless guys out there. They haven't even hidden themselves yet," the short guy said sarcastically to the tall guy next to him.
"What do you know? With such a large population, there are bound to be a few arrogant and proud individuals who aren't afraid of death. That's perfectly normal," the tall man said coldly.
"Hmph, I'd like to see just how arrogant they are. I hope they don't let their pride get broken. When the barrier breaks down, I'll find that on my side and your side, they're actually wearing the same black robes as us. They're really courting death."
The shorter man was more hostile towards Yun Xi, and was very unhappy that she was wearing a black cloak that was almost identical to the two of them.
"Don't mess things up. Don't forget our goal this time," the tall man reminded him.
"I know, but the premise is that we have to solve these problems first, right? What if they stop us?" The short man said dismissively.
"The higher-ups have assigned us such a powerful treasure; it's no joke. You still need to be careful."
"I know, but don't overthink it. At this time, is there anyone on Earth stronger than the two of us? Impossible, absolutely impossible," the short man said with a contemptuous laugh.
The tall man thought for a moment and didn't refute him anymore. "In about 10 minutes, the barrier in Jing City will break. Be prepared."
"Damn it, Jing City actually set up Defense Array in advance, otherwise we would have succeeded by now."
"It's normal for such a large city to have some historical foundation. Just their population alone could make a lot of money by trading them across various regions of the Divine Realm Continent. It's just a pity that the crystals they used for defense won't end up in our hands."
"It's alright, we can take other treasures for ourselves too. This time we're using Jing City as a starting point, I wonder what the reaction from the higher-ups in Flower Country will be. Haha, just thinking about that scene makes me want to laugh." The short man's tone was full of schadenfreude.
At the same time, the officials also discovered two black-robed figures standing outside the barrier.
The leader's face was terribly grim. "Was it these two who did this? I really want to skin them alive!"
"Sir, I just used the advanced Appraisal Skill equipment, but there were no results. They must have equipment to prevent appraisal."
Upon hearing this, the leader sighed deeply, "No matter what, we must hold on until the rescue team arrives!"
"Yes!"
"Sir, do you think these two people might be affiliated with forces from another country?"
"It's very possible, and we can't rule out the possibility that some ruthless people have emerged from our own country."
"Don't forget, once we enter the Godfall Continent, in order to infiltrate local forces, earn currency, and learn precious spells, we must sign a contract."
"Some of those who signed lifelong indenture contracts are no longer Flower Country, nor are they citizens of our Blue Star."
"They didn't just sign 10, 50, or 100 contracts; they signed lifetime contracts, severing all ties with Earth and completely selling themselves to that power," the leader said in a deep voice.
"The leader is right. Such a person might betray Blue Star and the Flower Country. They might also be brainwashed and hypnotized later on. There are many such techniques," another person added.
"Yes..." The leader sighed wearily, waved his hand, and signaled the people behind him to get ready.
"You are all promising talents in the bureau. This matter concerns the safety of all the people in Jing City. I hope you will all be on your guard and work together to deal with this disaster."
"If the barrier is broken before the aid arrives, your mission is to capture or kill the two black-robed men above, regardless of the cost."
The leader didn't want to issue such a death order, but it concerned the lives of tens of millions of people, and he had to take action and shoulder the responsibility as the highest leader of Jing City.
