Doomsday Summoning Frenzy

In the bustling marketplace, the shouts of buyers bargaining and sellers advertising blended together, creating a chaotic sound wave that disrupted the senses of most people.

Of course, the structure of the human brain allows individuals to filter out the information they want from various noises, and this is particularly evident among high-level professionals.

For instance, Arthur!

At this moment, Arthur was munching on some street food while keeping his eyes on Qin Shiyuan's graceful figure, all the while contemplating the candlelit dinner planned for the evening.

Juggling three things at once did not in the slightest diminish Arthur's alertness.

The key point was safety; no one understood better than Arthur how dangerous this world truly was. Even in Beijing, there was no such thing as absolute safety!

“Boss, can’t you make this a bit cheaper...”

In front of him, Qin Shiyuan's negotiating voice with the vendor echoed; seeing this familiar scene that had played out countless times that day, Arthur smiled lightly.

Having been cooped up in Eternal Sky City for a long time, suddenly coming out to experience a scene not much different from the pre-apocalypse times did indeed excite Qin Shiyuan.

However, this was a good thing.

It was rare to see Qin Shiyuan so happy today—actually, her enthusiasm might still stem from it being their first outing together.

“This is worth it...”

Arthur thought to himself.

The next second, a faint sound of friction emerged from below.

...

The sound was so slight it was almost imperceptible.

Although Arthur was a Sequence Fifteen professional, he was not inherently a high-perception type. While he had sensory distributions as a means of perception, when not employing them, he was no different from an average peak-level fifth-tier professional.

Arthur perked his ears and carefully distinguished the sounds coming from below—now, the sound had vanished, and Arthur even suspected that the noise had merely been a figment of his imagination.

“Below.”

Arthur pointed downward.

“Is there space below?”

The questioned soldier paused slightly before nodding, “Below is the sewer of the Beijing gathering area.”

“Are there any creatures down there?”

“There should be; things like rats. Although they cleared out most of these small creatures when they began renovating the sewer system, there must still be some stragglers. You know, it’s tough to completely eliminate rats and cockroaches.”

Upon hearing this, Arthur fell silent, taking two steps forward to closely position himself behind Qin Shiyuan—this was the potential danger. If the small creatures in the sewers mutated, who knew what terrifying beings could emerge? Rats and cockroaches weren’t the only possibilities; divine beast species could also appear!

Having overheard their conversation, Qin Shiyuan turned back in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Arthur slowly shook his head.

“Nothing...”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Two violent explosions interrupted Arthur's speech!

...

“Let’s begin.”

A voice with extremely low pressure emanated from the communicator.

Hearing this, the black-robed figure slightly curled his lips in displeasure.

Although he was dissatisfied with the shadow's attitude, an order was an order, especially this one issued by Lin Haifeng.

Thinking of Lin Haifeng's methods and the “little things” in his mind, the black-robed figure shivered heavily.

A powerful yet concealed spiritual wave slowly flowed, connecting him to countless “treasures” in the sewer.

The next second, the black-robed figure slowly raised his head, his crimson eyes flickering with a cold light in the dim sewer.

“Go, my treasures... kill all the creatures above!!!”

As the black-robed figure's words fell, the entire sewer area suddenly erupted into chaos!

...

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Followed by two explosive sounds not far from Arthur, he did not immediately turn to assess the situation; instead, he promptly pulled Qin Shiyuan close, securely protecting her before turning to survey his surroundings.
