Meanwhile, at Shen Heng's home.
Only a vanity light was on in the bathroom, and Shen Heng stood in the light, slowly brushing his teeth.
His reflection in the mirror showed his black hair hanging loosely, his eyes slightly unfocused as he had just woken up.
Just as he was mechanically repeating the action, his movements suddenly stopped.
In a daze, it seemed as if a very slight ripple of water passed before his eyes.
Shen Heng snapped out of his daze and looked at himself in the mirror with some uncertainty.
Were you daydreaming?
Just as he was about to think about what had just happened, a very slight vibration came from his forearm.
Shen Heng glanced down at a black wristband on his forearm.
This is a personal terminal developed by headquarters, called Tianshu, that connector.
It is a personal device that can assist in performing certain tasks online through conversation.
It was originally meant to be worn on the ear, so that any messages could be heard accurately during battle.
But Shen Heng's ability is special; he can hear without needing to put it in his ear.
Then, to better ensure it wouldn't fall off, it was custom-made into a wristband.
" Ringing Sound, what's the situation?" Shen Heng asked.
Because it's a personal terminal.
And in order to distinguish it from others in daily use.
And let the terminal know when you are speaking to it.
Therefore, Shen Heng named his device " Ringing Sound ".
After saying that, he lowered his head and spat out the foam in his mouth.
During this process, a mechanical female voice came from the wristband.
"Team member Yu Chunhe triggered an emergency communication!"
The sound is very low; a normal person can only hear it by pressing their wrist against the strap.
Hearing the message from the wristband, Shen Heng's gaze became slightly more serious, and he said:
"Connect!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth Yu Chunhe's somewhat anxious voice came through the wristband.
"Captain, fifteen Shadow Hound have suddenly appeared at the entrance of our school, Linhai No. 7 Middle School."
Right now? At the school gate?... A hint of doubt flashed in Shen Heng's eyes, and he asked directly:
Did they overlap from other places?
"No, it's right at the school gate!" Yu Chunhe replied, then, as if knowing what Shen Heng was wondering about, she continued:
"I don't know why either, but this overlap happened very quickly. From the moment it was discovered to the moment it completely overlapped, it took less than half a minute!"
The overlap happened very quickly, in less than half a minute... Shen Heng frowned slightly. Although he was full of doubts, he did not immediately think about why, but instead asked about the situation.
"Do you understand the ranks of the Calamity Beast?"
"Three Second Tier, eight First Tier, and four that haven't reached Tier yet!"
What's the situation on the ground?
Yu Chunhe quickly explained the situation.
" The Calamity Beast have started attacking people; at least seven or eight people were knocked down by them just outside the door..."
While Yu Chunhe was explaining things, Shen Heng scooped up some water, rinsed himself off casually, and then walked out of the bathroom.
"Mom, I'm not eating at home today, there's an urgent matter at the company!" Shen Heng said to Xu Yuqin, who was sitting in the living room scrolling through her phone.
"Huh?" Xu Yuqin looked up at Shen Heng with some surprise, then nodded and instructed, "Okay, I understand, but remember to eat later!"
Shen Heng nodded and quickly walked out of the house.
Through the wristband, Yu Chunhe's voice was nearing its end.
"... The security guards and I closed the school gates, and those who couldn't escape are now running deeper into the school!"
"Okay, I understand." Shen Heng began to handle the situation.
"I'll contact someone and have your school leaders begin organizing the student evacuation and the defense against the Calamity Beast."
"Take care of yourself over there. If anything unexpected happens, try to handle it if you can, and don't force it if you can't."
"More than a dozen of them; you, a mere First Tier, can't handle them."
"Yes, I understand," Yu Chunhe replied.
After the call ended, just as Shen Heng was about to arrange the matters he had just mentioned, he felt his wristband vibrate again.
Then, the sound of " Ringing Sound " rang out once again.
"An emergency communication forwarded by the Calamity Beast Emergency Management Department!"
"Is that about Linhai No. 7 Middle School?"... As Shen Heng opened the door and got into the car, he said:
"Access."
With a 'beep' sound, Shen Heng spoke.
"I am Shen Heng."
"Director Shen," came the anxious voice of the operator from the management department, who was receiving the Calamity Beast, through the wristband.
"We have just received urgent reports from multiple locations simultaneously, including Linhai No. 7 Middle School, the underground parking garage of Jinhai Shopping Center, the third section of the Binhai Avenue tunnel, the West District Fisherman's Wharf Seafood Market, and the North City Thermal Power Plant..."
As he listened to the six place names appearing one after another, Shen Heng's gaze suddenly turned serious.
At this point, even an ordinary person could sense that something was wrong, let alone him.
Let alone the fact that six Calamity Beast incidents occurred at the same time.
Even if we extend the timeframe to three days, this number is highly unusual!
"Apart from Linhai No. 7 Middle School, please report on the situation of the Calamity Beast in the other places," Shen Heng said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing that there was no need to report on the situation at Linhai No. 7 Middle School, the operator was slightly taken aback.
She originally thought the situation at Linhai No. 7 Middle School was the most urgent, since there were the largest number of Calamity Beast there, and the largest number of people were still gathered there.
However, she immediately reported as Shen Heng had requested.
"That's a Tier 3 Crystallized Plague Bat at the West District Fisherman's Wharf Seafood Market."
Inside the third tunnel of the Binhai Avenue were three Tier 2 Shadow Claw Demon Hunter.
"The situation in the underground parking garage of Jinhai Shopping Center is unclear; we only heard the person who reported it say they saw a three-meter-tall, brown-furred Calamity Beast."
"As for the other two locations, each contains a Tier 2 Calamity Beast."
Shen Heng thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Okay, I understand. Contact the officers in the vicinity of the incident immediately and send them there."
"For those in underground parking garages, find a way to get the people out, then have the police officers wait at the garage entrances with guns."
"The same principle applies to tunnels; simply deploy police officers to block the entrances and exits."
"I will arrange for someone to go there as quickly as possible."
"Okay, I understand!" the operator replied.
After ending the communication with the Calamity Beast Emergency Management Department, Shen Heng said:
" Ringing Sound, switch to the team channel."
"Transfer in progress... Transfer completed," Ringing Sound replied.
"Captain!" Several voices came from the wristband at different times.
Ordinary inspectors can directly listen to communications from the Calamity Beast Emergency Management Department.
This saves time and avoids situations where the team leader has to explain everything again after hearing the explanation.
Shen Heng said, " Han Ling, go to the West District Fisherman's Wharf Seafood Market; Wei Leyang, you're in charge of the underground parking garage at Jinhai Shopping Center; as for the others..."
