Chapter 2841 The Survivors
Even though the world was already devastated, the energy storm in the super-spiritual ley line still raged on in the sky, blocking the sun.
That was the reason why the world was covered in total darkness.
Due to the significant change in the global environment, abnormal phenomena like seawater intrusion began to occur.
However, because of the darkness, nobody noticed them.
Those in space began to despair as they wondered what they should do after such a catastrophe.
We might have survived, but where can we go next? Are we to spend the rest of our lives in space? Impossible! Sooner or later, we’re going to run out of food and resources, so we can’t stay here forever. What should we do then? This is hopeless!
Some were so depressed that they collapsed to the ground, while others wandered around like zombies.
To the survivors, there was nothing worse than witnessing their home being destroyed.
They thought they would be overjoyed to have escaped the catastrophe, but it was not so.
Not only did some fail to find any joy in their survival, but they also started to have regrets.
We should never have left our home. Dying there would’ve been much better than starving to death!
An unknown period of time after the catastrophic event, Craig and the others opened their eyes and realized they were still inside the Shelter. None of them were dead.
“Huh? Are we still alive?” one of them muttered dazedly.
Even though the Shelter could completely shield those residing in it, Craig and the others still felt the impact when the energy storm hit.
The unparalleled force was so powerful that it almost cracked the ground and uprooted the structure.
Whether fighters or civilians, everyone was immediately knocked unconscious by the shockwave from the impact.
One by one, those in the Shelter woke up and wondered how long they had been out.
“We’re alive! We’re all alive!”
“It’s true! We’re still breathing!”
Everyone started cheering almost as soon as they regained consciousness, counting themselves fortunate to have survived such a horrific event.
“The Crown King is our savior!”
“And Mr. McGonagal too!”
Then, everyone began chanting Levi’s and Gary’s names, for they were the ones who built the Shelter. We owe these men our lives! We’ll forever be in their debt.
“How long has it been?” questioned Craig immediately after waking up.
“Huh?” Suddenly, people noticed something was wrong with their watches when they tried to check the time.
It turned out that their other instruments were not working either, so there was no way to tell what time it was then.
Even the more technologically advanced instruments were utterly useless too.
That was because the energy storm disrupted the magnetic field.
The devices were not the only ones affected, as the storm had also dulled the fighters’ senses.
“It feels like we’ve been out for a long time. I wonder what’s happened outside.”
Someone in the crowd voiced the question that had been nagging everyone.
We, in the Shelter, are fine, but what about those who are outside? What’s become of the world?
For the sake of the Shelter’s effectiveness, it had to be sealed off completely from the outside world, so the only way to know the situation outside was to use the instruments prepared.
One of those instruments could show its user a live feed of the outside world, but the disruption of the magnetic field had rendered all instruments unserviceable.
For the moment, Craig and the others had no way of knowing the situation beyond the Shelter.
“What do you think happened outside?”
Everyone then began to speculate because nobody wanted to stay in the Shelter forever.
“Should we send someone outside?” one of them suggested.
“No! We don’t know what the situation is outside. If we open up the Shelter, we might put everyone in danger!” replied Craig after some thought.
