Qin Siyang had been lying low in the ruins for over a month.
During that time, he had rarely ventured out and barely met anyone. Even when he walked down the street, he avoided every passerby.
And after he happened to buy a large amount of takeaway food cheaply from a restaurant on the verge of closing down and stored it all in his Storage Box, he stopped going out altogether.
Even when he needed the bathroom, he used his burrowing ability to slip underground.
Now, he had nothing left to do.
He simply waited in silence for the day the enemy invaded.
Today looked as though it would be another ordinary day.
But just as Qin Siyang was staring blankly into space, a shrill alarm suddenly pierced his ears.
"First-level alert! Beep-beep-beep-first-level alert!"
Qin Siyang's eyes widened.
They were here?!
At noon, just as the entire Safe Zone was running smoothly, the first-level alert suddenly sounded.
Everyone immediately tensed, hurried to their assigned positions, and prepared to face the enemy.
At the same time, following the strategy for fighting alongside the gods that they had been practicing all along, each War Readiness Zone shattered the blast-resistant glass nearby.
As for War Readiness Zone 1, where the blast-resistant glass had remained open all along, countless gods had already surrounded it, making it look even more like a hellish cage.
At that moment, everyone was braced to fight the invaders to the death.
Yet inside the conference room in War Readiness Zone 1, there was only silence.
Every face was grim.
Olof spoke.
