Chapter 165: This Is a Natural Disaster—What Does It Have to Do With Xia?



Lan Ruoxi heard this.

A smile appeared on her face as she stood up, bowed to the elder, and said, "Then I'll first thank the principal for his support on his behalf."

"Go ahead."

"For those who came from other schools to participate in this task, evaluate the situation and select the best."

"There's no need to report these matters to me anymore. I'm leaving tomorrow."

The elder sat back down in his office chair.

He stroked the smooth fur of the white cat.

The white cat squinted its eyes and took a nap.

Lan Ruoxi nodded and exited the office.

...

At this moment.

Spanning thousands of kilometers.

On the other side of Xia Southern Border's national boundary.

This is the territory of Curry Country.

After the Catastrophe Era, the land and ocean areas of Blue Star expanded a hundredfold.

Curry Country was of course among them.

But unlike Xia, Curry Country's territory expanded alongside it.

And its population grew.

Who knows why the people of Curry Country are so prolific.

Even though the country implemented policies to limit the birth of newborns.

The population continues to explode uncontrollably.

By now, in the year 3024, Curry Country's total population has surpassed a hundred billion.

The explosive population growth has made Curry Country the most populous nation on Blue Star.

Meanwhile, the land area can't keep up with the population growth.

Leading to Curry Country's base cities being very close to each other.

Adjacent to Xia Nanjiang Province is Curry Country's eastern territory.

The distance from the capital is not far, a hundred base cities are densely situated here.

Among them, the most prosperous base city in eastern Curry Country is Rama Yana.

At this moment, on the streets of Rama Yana.

Busy traffic flows.

With the Long Sigh Mountain Range blocking the cold air from the Southern Border Plateau, the climate here remains warm and humid all year round.

Today is a scorching hot day with temperatures approaching 40 degrees.

Even though it's nearing evening, a large number of dark-skinned Curry Country citizens are crowded in the Holy River that runs through Rama Yana, bathing.

Of course, the water quality of this "Holy River" can no longer be described as concerning.

It presents a murky yellow-brown color, with sweat, urine mixed with a stench of rotting corpses wafting constantly.

Yet the local citizens seem to enjoy it.

"So hot..."

"Why does it feel like the sun is about to set, yet the sky remains so bright."

"Stop talking, come on, take a sip of the Holy River water, let's embrace our new life!"

At the best spot on the Holy River.

A group of burly men who had taken off their standard Curry Country military uniforms occupied it.

The surrounding citizens dared not speak out against their oppression.

In the river, two burly men kept whispering something.

"Do you think those East Japan people are reliable?"

"Reliable or not, they've already helped us kill all those idiots from Xia in advance and given us the poison that can agitate wild beasts."

"Hehe, plus the intelligence they provided us is accurate."

"Underground in Xia's territory, there's indeed a Descent Abyss Rift about to erupt."

"Brother, tonight, we should be able to see the news of Xia Southern Border suffering heavy losses."

"The top will definitely remember us for this merit!"

"We won't have to guard that damn border line anymore. I heard the top plans to give me a title; I won't be a Vaisya anymore!"

"I've also become a Kshatriya!"

"That's great!"

"For our bright future, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Above the Holy River, the military corps that originally guarded the Curry Country border near Xia Southern Border celebrated together.

Soon, however, they noticed that the water of the Holy River beside them was gradually emitting wisps of white smoke.

That was vapor from the rising water temperature!

"So hot..."

"It's really too hot!"

"I feel it's almost scorching!"

Everyone realized something was wrong!

They then looked at the people on the shore.

They found that under the terrifying sun's scorching heat, most of them were already dehydrated!

Some even had their clothes spontaneously combusted!

It's wrong!

What's going on??

No matter how extreme the weather is, it shouldn't be this hot!

"Sky… sky!"

"In the sky, there's… there's an extra sun!"

The Holy River water temperature grew increasingly scalding.

Many couldn't stand it anymore, climbed ashore, pointed at the sky, and screamed in shock.

However, in the next second, those people let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.

Because the ground temperature on the riverbank was enough to roast their unprotected feet.

The two burly men who were whispering earlier suddenly raised their heads.

They saw the evening glow and the setting sun in the sky.

All disappeared.

In its place was a "new sun" burning fiercely, continually growing larger!

That was certainly not the sun.

It was a gigantic fire meteor!

This was the last scene seen by everyone in the base city of Rama Yana.

Boom—!!!

The meteor summoned by Lin Yi failed to hit the center of the beast tide.

Instead, it fell on the lifeline of East Curry Country!

The meteor crashed into the ground, instantly piercing into the crust.

The Holy River water rapidly evaporated under the high temperature spreading from the point of collision.

Simultaneously, all of Rama Yana's buildings, skyscrapers, were flattened in an instant!

...

Shenxiao.

Lin Yi walked on the way to Lan Ruoxi's office.

He had just received a message that the dean wanted to see him.

Since it's all arranged by the school, Lin Yi naturally assumed that this dean probably had something good to reward him.

He went cheerfully.

Ding dong~!

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

Lin Yi took it out and checked.

It was a message from Nangong Ling.

"Big news broke out."

"Do you know where the meteor you summoned finally landed?"

This question left Lin Yi stunned.

Ah?

Wasn't it slapped away by Shenxiao's principal?

Surely, it must have fallen somewhere obscure, right?

"Where did it land?"

"Don't you surf short videos, or look at social websites?"

"Look for yourself! I won't spoil it! Anyway, I feel pleased!"

Lin Yi swiped away Nangong Ling's message.

He was also curious about where the meteor finally landed.

Lin Yi opened the platform he hadn't visited in a long time, the official app.

This platform, due to Lin Yi seeing too many arguments and nasty things before.

So he stopped browsing it much.

But undeniably, whenever something happens.

This platform reacts the fastest.

Opening the official app, sure enough, Lin Yi immediately saw several news items on the homepage hot search list.

[Meteor falling from the sky, Curry Country's prominent eastern city Rama Yana was leveled; neighboring base cities similarly suffered severe damage!]

[Rescue operations hampered by secondary fires caused by the meteor; initially estimated personnel casualties in Curry Country have exceeded a billion!]

[Experts predict direct economic losses from the meteor disaster could reach billions; losing the largest agricultural city in the east, how many nationwide will have to tighten their belts?]

[Following the meteor disaster, Curry Country's diplomat held a press conference, strongly condemning and claiming Xia is the true culprit behind Rama Yana's descending meteor disaster!]

[Strong counterattack! Xia's Foreign Ministry responds: Slander, nonsense!]
