Chapter 1196: Alarm Ringing Wildly

Alarm Ringing Wildly

Om—— Om—— Om——

A loud and clear air raid siren circled above the entirety of Wushan Town.

Lu Xun, Su Zhiwei, Yang Xiao, and Chu Changqing, the four of them who were doing nothing in the Safe House, were simultaneously taken aback, and then violently stood up from their chairs!

"Air raid siren??" Yang Xiao spoke in surprise. "What's going on? Why did the air raid siren suddenly ring?"

Lu Xun's brows furrowed tightly. He took large strides to the window, forcefully pushed it open, and raised his head to look at the sky...

Only to see among the continuous mountain ranges in the distance, missiles trailing flames rose rapidly from beneath the earth one after another. After constantly turning in the air, they shot out toward different directions respectively!

Not only the mountains around Wushan. A moment later, densely packed flaming tails swept across the sky canopy almost like a Meteor Shower, leaving behind long white marks one after another.

Everyone saw this scene, not just Lu Xun, not just Wushan.

Where were these weapons going? America? Japan? Europe? Or even more places?

Was this a lightning raid, or a defensive counterattack?

No one knew.

At the moment when the war sweeping the globe arrived, the vast majority of the masses were completely ignorant... In front of this wave of shuffling the human civilization anew, all social media that were once incredibly swift seemed to have lost their function at this moment. Leaving behind only overwhelming and varying news filling the internet, only a very, very small number of people could pry into a corner of the truth from the massive amount of confusing information.

Of course, whether they knew the truth or not was no longer important...

At the moment the bullet left the chamber, what arrived earlier than the truth, was destruction and death.

"Fighting has broken out???" Chu Changqing looked at this scene in shock. "Why so sudden..."

"It's only sudden in our eyes. In front of those people who truly control everything, perhaps this had already been premeditated for a long time, or to say... perfectly tacit," Yang Xiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly said.

"This shouldn't be us taking the initiative to attack. The high probability is that someone on the western side Flipped the Table and Risked Their Lives!"

"Quick!! Quickly go find civil air defense Shelters!!"

The four of them's reactions could be considered very fast. Amidst the ear-piercing air raid siren, they immediately took action. After searching for nearby civil air defense projects, they rapidly rushed out!

With things having reached this point, whether they would be targeted by Ying Fu was no longer important. This was a moment of life and death for everyone. Whether it was the four of them, or Ying Fu's group, none of them could forcefully resist a nuclear bomb. If disaster truly descended upon Wushan, that was true equality for all living beings.

"What about Director Chen?!"

"Don't know where he is now... I'll send him a message!"

"I'll also send my Maternal Uncle a message, tell him to hurry and find a civil air defense project to take refuge..."

While hurriedly running away, Yang Xiao immediately fished out his phone, directly using his intent to send the message out. Lu Xun, on the other hand, typed while running. After the crowd went downstairs, they saw a large number of residents of Wushan Town also running on the streets.

Among them, not everyone knew how to respond to an air raid siren, nor did everyone know that phones could query the nearest civil air defense project Shelter location. But at this time, official messages and detailed guidelines had already been sent to everyone's phones. After a brief flurry of panic, the crowd successfully started rushing toward the surrounding Shelter locations one after another.

"Emergency alert system. This is not a drill. A ballistic missile threat is approaching Wushan. Immediately seek a Shelter, repeating, this is not a drill..."

"Compatriots across the country, our nation is facing an extremely severe nuclear threat. All citizens please immediately enter civil air defense projects or underground bunkers, stay away from windows. Keep calm and obey local command. We will protect the people's life safety at all costs..."

Broadcasts from local and central authorities repeatedly echoed within the Wushan area. The colorful and diverse ribbons on the streets rustled loudly, ultimately being rolled up by the violent gales to flutter and drift scatteredly.

Pao Ge, who had just walked from the wet market to the door of his house, was taken aback. With a snap, the vegetables and meat in his hands dropped all over the ground. He directly rushed into the house, shouting loudly:

"Xiaoyu!! Xiaoyu!!!"

"I'm here!" Xiaoyu, who had just laboriously changed clothes on the bed, replied.

Pao Ge didn't say a second word, directly carrying Xiaoyu on his back, and was about to rush outside. Suddenly he saw a figure still anxiously rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and immediately spoke,

"Auntie! Don't pack things up anymore!! Going to the Shelter first is important ah!"

"But..."

"There's no time, Auntie!! Being alive is what's most important!! Quick ah!!!"

While carrying Xiaoyu on his back, Pao Ge pulled her Mother out from the house. At this time, the other brothers also hurriedly rushed over, their faces all filled with unease and anxiety.

"Have you searched for the civil air defense location??"

"Searched it! There's a big one right ahead!"

"Let's go!!"

Pao Ge and the others were young to begin with, with active minds. The tacit understanding among brothers goes without saying. With just a simple look, they exerted all their strength to dash toward the Shelter location!

The flow of people was rapid and turbulent, and people's hearts were in a state of anxiety. Fortunately, the emergency plans of broadcasts and messages had already been made perfect, and there were also a large number of public officials maintaining order. It didn't cause large-scale stampedes or conflict events. Even on the large TV screens by the roadside while running away, safety first-aid measures when facing nuclear weapons were playing in a loop.

More and more residents hid in the underground civil air defense projects. Some were specialized Shelters, some were underground garages, some were underground parking lots of shopping malls... The foot traffic on the ground gradually became sparse, and the tense panting underground gradually increased.

They crazily refreshed their phones, attempting to find the reason for all this from the internet. But because it was underground and the foot traffic was large, they basically couldn't connect to the internet. Even if they connected, there wasn't any true information, only overwhelming anxiety.

At this time, Lu Xun and the others had also drilled into the largest shopping mall Shelter. Panting heavily, they found a place to sit down.

"So, Wushan really became the target of a nuclear weapon attack?" Yang Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. "How could this be... Even if a world war broke out, Wushan can only be considered a small county town. How could there be nuclear bombs coming here?"

"It should be because there's a military base in the nearby mountains... Or it's also possible, it's related to the Wushan Conference."

"Are you saying, the western intelligence network knew that a large number of Divine Path Possessors would gather here?"

"On this vast territory, every city will have spies from various countries, especially cities with nearby military bases... If one nuclear bomb can simultaneously solve the base and a large number of Divine Path Possessors, then they absolutely wouldn't be stingy."

"But I don't understand. For no good reason, why did fighting suddenly break out?"

"Do you still remember when we came to Wushan, the satellite malfunction we encountered?" Lu Xun paused for a moment. In his mind once again surfaced the scene of countless red double flashes interweaving into a river by the roadside, and Chen Ling looking at this scene with complexity.

"Director Chen said it at that time... Our time, is running out."
