Chapter 1279: Everything is Going Smoothly

"What did you say?"

The family head turned his head in surprise to look at the Pu family members.

"He is using the radio to issue a warning for a terrorist attack?"

"Yes, family head... I don't know what method he used to tamper with the radio frequency band. Just now, he already announced the location of the first attack." The young figure said nervously, "The first location he announced is a commercial street with heavy pedestrian traffic..."

The family head's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, as if he were deep in thought.

"And then?" he asked.

"The government is very nervous after hearing the news. They have already dispatched a large number of police officers to evacuate the crowd in an emergency, and have also requested support from the Pu family." The young man spoke tentatively. "Family Head, should we go?"

Chen Ling's warning of the attack was spread via radio. Although the residents of the Nanhai Domain are relatively wealthy, not every household has a radio, and certainly no one carries one while out on the street. Therefore, the large number of people currently in the commercial district have no idea that an attack is imminent and are still immersed in a leisurely, relaxed atmosphere. If the government does not send people to evacuate them, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

"Go." The Family Head pondered for a moment. "But just send a few people from nearby. The others should remain on standby."

"Just a few people... can they handle Chen Ling?"

"Chen Ling is not there."

"Ah?"

"If he really wanted to kill people to create panic, there would be no need to issue a warning at all. If he suddenly struck and slaughtered the thousands of people in the commercial district, wouldn't the deterrent effect be stronger than a warning? By doing this, he must be trying to divert our attention so he can secretly complete what he really intends to do."

"No wonder... I'll go make the arrangements now."

"No need."

The Family Head seemed to feel that sending a message was too much trouble. He raised his fingertips, about to write something in the void, but suddenly froze in place.

"...Family Head?" The young man was a bit confused.

"...It's nothing." A strange glimmer flashed in the Family Head's eyes. He waved his hand. "Go, go make the arrangements."

"Yes!"

As the young man left, the Family Head slowly lowered his head and looked at his own hands, appearing somewhat puzzled.

But soon, the confusion in his eyes vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all.

He continued to stand with his hands behind his back, looking at the gloomy sky, and muttered:

"Chen Ling... what exactly are you trying to do?"

……

"What's going on? Why are there so many police officers suddenly?"

"I don't know... isn't this the commercial district? Could there have been a murder?"

"Oh no! They say Heart of Hearts 6, Chen Ling, is right here!!"

"What?!!"

"He also said he's going to raze this place to the ground!!"

"Citizens, do not panic. Follow the guidance and evacuate in an orderly manner... Repeat, follow the guidance and evacuate in an orderly manner..."

"Why? We have no grudge against Chen Ling, why does he want to kill us??"

"What 'why'? He's a Calamity of Mockery, a wanted criminal!! Does he need a reason to kill people?!"

"Hurry, hurry... I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!"

"Move faster, those in front!!"

“……”

With the intervention of a large number of police officers, the entire commercial district fell into chaos. After learning the truth, everyone acted as if they had gone mad, fleeing in terror.

If it were a normal terrorist attack warning, it certainly wouldn't have this effect. The Nanhai Police Department isn't incompetent; they wouldn't believe just anyone who issued a warning... but the problem is, the one who issued this warning is "Heart of Hearts 6," Chen Ling.

He is a complete lunatic, a world-ending calamity that has infiltrated the human domain. If he says he's going to attack the commercial district, who wouldn't be afraid??

He has even destroyed human domains before; what's killing everyone on one street to him?

Therefore, even though the Nanhai Police Department and the Pu family felt that Chen Ling's purpose wasn't that simple, they had to go all out to evacuate. After all, who would dare to gamble on the thoughts of a world-ending calamity?

This is a naked, open conspiracy.

Under the evacuation efforts of the Nanhai Police Department, combined with the genuine panic of the citizens, the entire commercial district soon fell into a deathly silence... Looking around, not a single person could be seen, only a group of police officers holding riot shields, vigilantly surrounding the edges of the street.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Just as they were swallowing their saliva in nervousness, a police officer ran over from a distance in a hurry:

"It's bad!"

"Chen Ling has issued another warning! He says he's changed his mind, and this time he's going to attack a factory!"

Everyone: ???

……

Nanhai Domain, the top of a towering clock tower.

Chen Ling patted the dust-covered radio and slowly stood up, gazing at the dense, continuous buildings before him... From this angle, he could see the commercial district not far away, as well as the group of police officers hurriedly shifting their positions.

"The Pu family, still hiding in the shadows..."

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes.

Chen Ling could certainly tell that those evacuating the crowd and searching for his figure in the commercial district were basically all Nanhai police. Although there were Pu family members overseeing things, their numbers were few. It seems they have gradually realized his intentions and are waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

However, Chen Ling wasn't arrogant enough to think he could toy with the entire Nanhai Domain using such methods. After all, they aren't fools. Small tricks like warning of an attack can only divert a small amount of their energy. Chen Ling believes these Pu family members must have already used some method to secretly deduce his location...

There isn't much time left for him to "play tricks."

Chen Ling patted the radio again.

Boom—!!

The next second, a violent flash of fire erupted from the factory in the distance, and raging flames mixed with thick smoke surged into the sky like a ferocious fire dragon.

The previous warning about the commercial district was fake, purely to create a tense atmosphere... but this warning was real. Chen Ling had indeed prepared a high-yield bomb in that factory.

However, Chen Ling only detonated the bomb after the Nanhai Police Department had finished evacuating the factory workers, so it wouldn't cause any casualties. After all, Chen Ling's goal wasn't to kill people, but to send a message to these police officers and the Pu family... Do not treat his warnings as child's play. If they don't follow the order to save people, it is truly possible for casualties to occur.

"After two times, their patience should be reaching its limit."

Chen Ling's gaze turned toward the edge of the Nanhai Domain, in the direction of the Domain Train entrance...

"Next, it's the most critical moment..."

The factory that provides shelter, the Twilight Society that opens the doors, and himself attracting attention within the domain... Chen Ling has already made all the preparations he could. Everything is interlinked; as long as everything is executed according to plan, the chances of the Fusion Faction secretly infiltrating the Nanhai Domain are very high.

A cold, fine rain swept across the domain, hitting the hem of Chen Ling's opera robe. He muttered to himself:

"I hope... everything goes smoothly."
