Chapter 2829 Carrying The Last Hope
Sadly, Levi encountered problems as well and was delayed too.
Initially, they had a slim chance of being able to catch up with Lab of Gods’ aircraft. However, the delays the two parties encountered had completely dashed that hope.
“What the heck is your problem? Why are you picking a fight with me now?” Levi was beyond infuriated by the disruptions he was facing. After all, it was not the time to stir up trouble, as the survival of humankind was at stake.
The Ancient Clan was the one who was trying to stop Pengornis.
They were the ones who betrayed Levi and when the whole world’s attention was on him, they had quietly made their way to Erudia.
They split themselves into two teams. One team was keeping an eye on Forlevia while the other searched for Levi and Dr. Erebus. When Levi was on his way to the South Pole, some of them came after him and harassed him for almost a quarter of an hour.
When they saw that they could not stop him, they had no choice but to retreat.
Levi was about to lose his temper and go on a killing spree to clear the path for Pengornis to proceed when he saw the enemy had started to back off.
He knew what his priority was, so he did not pursue his enemy and only urged the pilot to continue their journey at full speed.
“It is unlikely we can catch up now. Whatever time advantage we had is gone…” Digital God mourned.
Levi’s brows were in a knot as well, but he consoled himself by saying, “Thank goodness I got Black Hawk onboard. At least the team from Shield is already on their way.”
However, his pilot soon gave him a piece of bad news. “There’s an aircraft behind us, about four nautical miles away. It is faster than us and is catching up to us!”
Levi instantly knew what was happening. The people at Shield must have not trusted me enough and wanted to verify what I was doing.
The precious minutes they were counting on were lost, and the last hope they had vanished into thin air.
“Idiots! Fools, the lot of them!” Levi hissed.
He knew all was lost, and despite the record speed they were flying at, there was no hope of catching up with the other two aircraft.
Levi did not dwell on the setback. He immediately contacted Black Hawk and updated him on the situation.
Although he wasn’t optimistic about the attempt, he still requested Black Hawk to proceed to their destination at full speed to make a last-ditch effort to salvage the situation.
Although it was unlikely that they would be successful, it would be unthinkable to give up without putting up a fight. Black Hawk put his faith in Levi and went ahead at full speed. They were humankind’s last hope.
After the international conference was over, the Dragonites worked tirelessly with the allies to transport all the people and the important supplies that needed to be conserved to the Shelters.
There were five hundred Shelters in total, and some natural areas that were blessed with features similar to the Shelters were also used.
Their total capacities were just sufficient to cater to Erudia and her allies’ needs.
It was a challenge to transport all the people and important things to the respective Shelters within a short few hours.
Gary was Erudia’s Commander-In-Chief for that task, as he was the most experienced expert in that area.
Under his leadership, the process went on orderly and smoothly. Everyone was grateful for the availability of the Shelters. No one had expected it to be put to good use, let alone so soon.
The Shelters’ a lifesaver! Although they were faced with an unprecedented danger, those Shelters gave them a good chance of survival. Under such situations, even a fifty percent chance of survival was something to be thankful for.
All the allies were secretly glad they decided to work with Erudia on this project. Otherwise, their people would have nowhere to take refuge.
With the limited capacity and time, Erudia could only focus on ensuring the survival of her own people and that of her allies. She had no means to look out for others.
Most of the other countries and regions were not in a rush to go into high alert mode, even after they were told of the dire consequences of that possible catastrophe. Many had their doubts and thought Erudia had cooked up a tall story to justify keeping Dr. Erebus and taking over all the technologies and resources from the Lab of Gods.
After all, the concept of spiritual energy was alien and fiction to them. They had not heard of such a thing and the claim that it could wipe out human civilization and destroy the earth was unimaginable and laughable.
No one could blame them for dismissing the idea of the existence of things such as the super-spiritual ley line. Other than the few leaders of Erudia, no one had heard of such spiritual energies.
Even Black Hawk and the team at Shield had no knowledge of it, let alone the general public.
As they were unaware of such spiritual energies, they had no knowledge of their devastating power. As a result, most of the world did not take the warning seriously and did not take any precautions to take shelter from the disaster they were about to face.
