In the waters around Green Island, the sudden seaquake caused considerable trouble.
Because of it, an ecological containment breach occurred on Green Island. The outer wall, already somewhat fragile due to parasitic plants, cracked under the shaking and impacts.
Fortunately, the New World Fleet already had contingency plans. Large numbers of Annihilator Mechs and a certain number of armed mobile squads were stationed around the high-risk ecological zones, and they quickly suppressed the incident.
After the wall components were replaced, the entire incident was brought under control. There were only a few seriously infected casualties, who were rushed to the medical center for further treatment after taking "Herbicide."
Then there were the black shadows gathering around.
They had appeared around Green Island too, where intense light was initially used against them.
But after opening a Portal and establishing contact with Steam Island, they chose a similar approach, abandoning some outer areas and using Light Containers only sparsely within the dense forest farther in. Extensive lighting was only provided in the town area.
Through this method, they gradually freed themselves from the black shadows' harassment, though the plans for the harbor and teleportation square would have to change. They might need to open a waterway through the forest later.
It was not until ten that night that the seaquake incident finally drew to a close. At the same time, the system issued an emergency announcement.
