Just when Hu Qi was using Scarlet Panel to increase his strength.
Meanwhile, the outside world.
The hour hand accurately pointed to 18:10, and the sky at Dusk seemed to be splashed with thick ink, suddenly falling into bottomless darkness.
This sudden change in the sky, intertwined with the previous unprovoked heart palpitations, instantly triggered a global commotion.
On the highway, vehicles that were originally traveling normally lost control due to the sudden drop in visibility and panic among the drivers.
The screeching sound of tires scraping against the ground resounded through the streets, and collisions and rear-end collisions occurred one after another in an instant.
This is not a local phenomenon. In just this second, tens of thousands of traffic accidents occurred simultaneously around the world.
A large number of humans lost their lives in the explosion, which was unfortunate for them, but also lucky at the same time.
Because they no longer have to face the next apocalypse.
However, most people are still unaware of the impending crisis.
They subconsciously took out their mobile phones and tried to record this strange celestial phenomenon that was 'once in a thousand years'.
Although apocalyptic remarks have been quietly spreading on the Internet, no one really takes them to heart.
After all, similar rumors have emerged endlessly in the past, and they have all turned out to be false alarms.
at the same time.
On the beach, a young white man and woman are enjoying the romance at sunset.
Suddenly, the sky quickly darkened.
Between the sea and the sky, there is a fantasy scene of day and night intertwined.
The woman quickly posed, and the man raised his camera, ready to freeze this rare scene forever.
They are already well-known Internet celebrities. If they can seize this moment and edit it a little, they might really be able to explode the traffic and break out of the industry in one fell swoop!
Suddenly, the man's movements froze and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible.
"What's wrong? Jess!"
When the woman saw this scene, she frowned and asked with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
You know, you don't always have such a good opportunity.
Hear the words.
Only then did the man named Jess come back to his senses.
He pointed to the distant sea.
"Look dear, there's a big white fog over there!"
Hearing this, the woman turned around and looked in the direction pointed by the other person, with a trace of astonishment flashing across her face.
I didn't know when, but on the sea in the distance, a layer of strange white mist emerged, surging like a tidal wave.
The fog is spreading here quickly.
Normally.
White fog cannot be seen in a completely dark environment. Only when there is a weak light source can the white fog be detected by the human eye through reflected light.
But the white mist in front of me is extremely clear.
It seems to be emitting a faint white light, which is very strange.
"Hiss, this must be advection fog, we need to take two more pictures! This kind of thing is rare."
The man named Jess said.
He clicked the shutter and the camera flashed.
In his opinion, this is not an incomprehensible phenomenon, but because the sea surface temperature is higher than the air temperature at night, and the seawater continues to evaporate to produce a large amount of water vapor. When the water vapor encounters cooler air.
It will quickly cool and condense into tiny water droplets. A large number of water droplets will be suspended in the air near the sea surface, forming a thick white fog.
This kind of fog that forms on the sea at night is collectively called sea fog in meteorology. The type caused by the temperature difference between sea and land and the condensation of water vapor can be classified as a type of advection fog.
However, just as he set up his camera to focus on taking pictures of the sea.
Buzz—!
There was a sudden sound of violent vibrations in the air.
It was the buzzing sound made by some kind of wings beating the air at high speed.
Immediately afterwards, clusters of strange red light spots lit up in the white sea fog that was too thick to dissolve. The little red light flickered faintly in the dark night, which was particularly dazzling.
puff!
In an instant, the white mist on the sea was violently torn apart.
A group of monster insects as huge as cars vibrated their wings and surged towards the shore like a tide.
They are slender in body, covered with strange black stripes, and have sharp mouthparts, like giant mosquitoes that have been magnified countless times.
His eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red light and locked on the two of them.
"Oh, God! This... what are these things!"
Their faces instantly turned pale as paper, and before they had time to think, they turned around and ran away into the distance.
But how can the legs of flesh and blood be faster than these flying monsters?
In just a few breaths, they were knocked to the ground by several giant insects.
After a few seconds.
Those mosquito-like monsters with long slender mouthparts flapped their wings and flew away, leaving only two shriveled and gray corpses on the spot, as if they had been sucked out of all life.
Then, the swarm of insects turned around and flew towards the other people on the beach who were still in shock.
Suddenly, shrill screams resounded.
Except for a very small number of people, they managed to escape from this place.
Most of them followed in the footsteps of the first two.
And this is not just an example.
For a time, strange white fog appeared all over the world.
In the mist, there are all kinds of monsters lurking, hidden in the haze.
The One and Only What is quite comforting is that these white mist are still in the initial stage, and the diffusion speed is relatively slow.
Some people have tried to enter the white fog area and found that the fog itself does not seem to be directly harmful to humans.
But the problem is that according to this spreading trend, these fogs will eventually cover the entire world, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Even if the mist itself is harmless, even if there are no monsters attacking it.
Just blocking the sunlight is enough to pose a fatal threat.
It may not have much impact in the short term.
But once time goes on, it will be a devastating blow to plants around the world.
Without sunlight, humans will have to rely on negative foods that do not require sunlight to survive.
Qiyan City, city center, top floor of the building.
Hu Qi's rising fear Psionic Power subsided.
Zhang Yi's expression on the side has become a little numb from the initial shock.
"The eighth-level God King has crossed three stages at once, how is it possible..."
This was the only thought in his mind.
You know, he struggled and fought for so long in his previous life, and it took him nearly a thousand years to barely reach it, but now the other party has reached this point in just a few breaths.
Hu Qi didn't care what the other person thought.
At this moment, the handwriting Scarlet Panel in front of me has changed again.
[Myriad Manifestations Heart Sutra (fifteenth level) characteristics: Thought preparation, atomic control, Mind Realm]
[Modification Points 950 units (99%)]
Myriad Manifestations Heart Sutra has reached the fifteenth floor.
Its characteristics have also changed.
1. Thought preparation
Psionic Power can invade the consciousness of living beings, weave thoughts, tamper with memories, and implant ideas into the invisible.
2. Atomic Control
Psionic Power goes deep into the origin of matter, can analyze and reorganize atomic structures, instantly decompose mountains and rivers, condense water into crystals, and even create matter out of thin air to achieve something out of nothing.
3. Mind Realm
Use Psionic Power to build a real fantasy world, where a single thought creates mountains and rivers, and a single thought turns into stars.
At this moment, the modifiable triangular runes on the skill column on the panel have disappeared.
But the limit has not been reached.
It's that this body, or the current upper limit of time and space, can only accommodate it to this point.
If you want to continue to improve, you still need to wait for the evolution of the last days.
"In terms of power alone, is it almost equivalent to the level of a Daoist master for the first time? But in comparison, the pure Psionic Power system, coupled with the limitations of this time and space, has serious flaws and cannot really be compared with the Daoist master..."
Hu Qi commented in his heart.
Subsequently.
He put away the panel.
Looking into the distance.
At this moment, the fog descended on Qiyan City, causing a commotion.
Fortunately, the authorities have already taken control and the situation has not gotten out of control yet.
However, when those giant insects vibrating their sheaths and roaring appear on the streets, people inevitably fall into panic.
Some bugs began to hit the glass windows of the house. Under the constant collision, the glass surface was quickly covered with cracks.
Screams came from the window, and fear filled the air.
Cars on the street were also overturned and hit by these giant insects, making rapid and loud sirens.
"It seems that this life is a foggy doomsday..."
Zhang Yi on the side looked at this scene with a slight expression on his face.
He has long been accustomed to all this.
Once upon a time, he also tried to cooperate with the authorities.
Although he was unable to get the entire Xia Kingdom to cooperate as he did now, it also made him clearly realize that there are fundamental limitations in fighting monsters in the modern world.
Even if you can resist for a while, it will not help in the end.
The future world is destined to be a stage for monsters and evolvers.
As for ordinary humans? It's just a supporting role that gradually recedes into the background during this drastic change.
Think of this.
He was ready to say something.
I saw Hu Qi with a calm expression, raised his hand and gently raised a finger.
On the fingertips, a little silver light appeared!
At first it was no more than a spark, but soon it was as bright as the sun. The ultimate brilliance was compressed and condensed, as if it was holding a miniature Milky Way.
The next second, the silvery white light soared into the sky, like a retrograde meteor, tearing apart the groggy sky, the moment it reached the top of the clouds.
Exploded!
The light swept away in all directions like a tide. Wherever it passed, the dense fog in Qiyan City and even the surrounding towns, as well as the roaring and struggling monsters in it, dissipated instantly like ice and snow meeting the sun, and were swept away!
And this is just the beginning.
Kakakaka——!
Accompanied by a crisp sound as if space itself was condensing, silver-white, translucent honeycomb-shaped crystal structures emerged out of thin air in mid-air, rapidly spreading and covering all around at an alarming speed.
Under the horrified gaze of countless people, this crystal barrier that is beyond imagination will eventually completely cover and protect the vast land with a radius of 500 kilometers with Qiyan City as the center!
After conversion, its area is equivalent to nearly 800,000 square kilometers, which is about one-tenth of the entire Xia Kingdom area.
Almost all the 60% of the population that originally gathered were enveloped in it.
At the same moment when the barrier closed, a clear and vast voice, regardless of distance, resounded directly in the depths of every Xia Kingdom person's mind:
"Anyone who enters this barrier will be protected by me!"
This ability to change the world and demarcate boundaries into domains is the ultimate means of developing Psionic Power to a later stage, interfering with reality, and reconstructing matter at the atomic level!
"I finally understand where your confidence comes from.
With your strength, these fogs and monsters are really not worth mentioning.
After the next few waves of Spiritual Tide arrive, you will definitely be able to step into the realm of Ninth Tier God Lord, and you may even spy on the rumored Tenth Tier. The apocalypse of Termination is not impossible.
But I still don't understand one thing. Why don't you use this to build a new country of your own? "
Looking at Hu Qi, Zhang Yi had a complex expression. At this moment, he had completely given up the idea of comparing with the other party.
As for the humiliation I suffered before, I'm afraid I will never be able to return it in this life.
However, he still couldn't hold back and asked.
"Because I don't want to!"
Hu Qi smiled.
The establishment of a new kingdom mentioned by Zhang Yi has no meaning at all to Hu Qi.
Not to mention that Hu Qi is not a native of this time and space.
Even so.
After this space-time itself evolves to a certain extent, it will be reset and it will be impossible to continue, so it is meaningless.
As for why Hu Qi doesn't protect all people in it.
That's because this is not suitable for the gestation of the end of the world.
What he wants to do is just to preserve this group of humans Spark of Fire and wait for the evolution of this time and space to reach its peak.
As for other things, he was too lazy to care.
Think of this.
He looked into the distance.
Based on the information he got from Zhang Yi.
In the last days, if he wants to evolve to meet the requirements for the arrival of his true form, it will probably take at least hundreds of years.
But it's not realistic for him to wait here forever.
This is a complete waste of time for Hu Qi.
"Perhaps we can find a way to speed up the preparation of the apocalypse!"
Thinking of this, a strange look flashed in Hu Qi's eyes, and an elusive smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Yi on the side happened to catch a glimpse, and for some reason, his heart tightened for no reason, and he actually felt a bit creepy.
over time.
After various countries experienced a brief period of panic, their huge state machinery quickly started operating.
The monsters that appeared in the fog were certainly scary, but that was only to ordinary people.
Except for some small countries with sparse populations and weak national strength who were at a loss during this impact, other countries, especially the big countries, did not panic at all.
Because of the Xia Kingdom's abnormal reaction, they had taken precautions against this situation.
To them, the disaster was not even a threat, but rather an opportunity to clear out their ammunition stocks.
The terrifying monster was covered with a hard carapace, but was vulnerable to the roar of hot weapons, and soon turned into insect corpses all over the ground.
In the face of the powerful firepower of humans, these insect-shaped monsters pose no threat at all.
The situation was quickly brought under control, and there was even enough time to start sampling and studying the insect corpses.
This is an expected result.
As long as it is flesh and blood, it is impossible to withstand the devastating blow of modern weapons.
As for the zombie apocalypse caused by virus outbreaks in film and television novels, most of them are just fictional imaginations.
It simply cannot exist in reality.
In other words, they seriously underestimated the true power of thermal weapons.
If such a situation really occurs in reality, within a few days, all the zombies transformed from humans will probably be killed and turned into "protected animals" and put into ticket-selling exhibitions in zoos.
"Only to this extent can it be regarded as the end of the world at all. At most, it can only be regarded as a worldwide disaster."
This is the thinking of almost all senior leaders of major countries.
However, at least preparations were made in advance and a lot of casualties were avoided.
Of course, there is another point that worries them.
How did Xia Kingdom know all this in advance? Could it be that there is some means that he doesn't know?
Thinking of this, various countries are more eager to find out the secrets.
However, these people know nothing about this.
The end of each life may take different forms, but there are always the presence of these monsters throughout.
The real apocalypse is never extreme weather disasters, but those monsters.
The monsters that appear now are just appetizers, not even real monsters at all.
As time goes by, when the first wave of Spiritual Tide arrives, these monsters will become more powerful and gradually become immune to attacks from most thermal weapons.
Even awakened this weird ability.
After Spiritual Tide at most three times, existing technological weapons will no longer pose the slightest threat to them.
The first Spiritual Tide will begin to arrive one month after the end of the world begins.
