## Chapter 1726: Repeat! This Is Not a Drill
Corgi immediately had a protective expression over his food, but then he thought, if Nan Shen really wanted to kiss him, he couldn't really defend against it either, right?
Xia Yao looked sour. You call this excitement from wanting to celebrate? You clearly just want to kiss the girl!
(◦`~´◦) Why don't you kiss me then?
[From Xia Yao's Resentment +233!]
No time to waste. Clip Wei immediately contacted Survival Wei in the mountain city outside.
Meanwhile, Jiangnan crouched beside Clip Wei, grabbed her hand, and shaped it into a six gesture, holding it to his ear.
(๑•̌～•̑๑)٩(≖_.≖๑)
"Hello? Is Survival Wei there?"
Clip Wei: ٩(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿.▀̿̿)̄
Are you really treating me as your communication girl?
"Just tell me directly, it's the same. I'll relay it for you."
At the same time, in a hotel in the capital of the Rain Country, Basai, Survival Wei, wrapped in a bathrobe with a toothbrush in her mouth, rushed out.
Her eyes anxious, she rummaged through her luggage, pulled out an encrypted satellite phone, and dialed the number Jiangnan had given her.
It was Yang Jian's private line. She called directly.
...
At the Kyoto Dispatch Office, the door was pushed open. Nightingale rushed in, hugging encrypted documents.
ﾚ(ﾟ口ﾟ;)ﾍ "Brother Jian! It's bad! The Spirit Martial Research Institute issued another warning. The average concentration of spirit energy has increased for the third time."
Yang Jian's expression tightened. He quickly pulled over the document to check. The sharply rising waveform chart made his eyelids twitch.
"When was..."
Before he could finish, the phone rang with a "ding-a-ling." Yang Jian was startled. Few people knew this encrypted line. Who was calling?
He quickly answered. On the other end, an anxious female voice came through.
"Is... is this Yang Jian? I'm Survival Wei, a clone of Vivian. Jiangnan asked me to contact you."
"He's in a spirit ruin with my main body. From now on, I'll act as a communication girl, telling you what Jiangnan wants you to know."
Survival Wei was going crazy. She never imagined in her life that she would directly speak with the Chinese Dispatch Chief!
Yang Jian was stunned, then his eyes lit up. This kid is something, huh? Even inside a spirit ruin, he found a way to get a message out.
"What's the matter? Tell me directly. What's the situation in the Rainforest Maze?"
Survival Wei's voice suddenly became deep and magnetic, mimicking perfectly.
Communication Girl: (≖～.≖๑) "Brother Jian? The last three nails have all been pulled out. We couldn't hold them. Only the final Extreme Spirit Pillar is left."
"The Holy Star's World Purification Plan's true goal is to trigger a second spirit energy resurgence, causing a worldwide spirit calamity, eliminating inferior humans, and crushing the foundation of humanity."
"Next, the Holy Star will go all out to remove the Extreme Spirit Pillar. It can no longer be stopped."
Yang Jian's eyes widened. His heart surged, and it took a long time to recover. His face suddenly turned pale.
"Tell me the specifics. Explain everything in detail."
Jiangnan held nothing back, telling Yang Jian the current situation, his speculations, and the state of affairs exactly as they were.
Yang Jian's ears buzzed. He slumped weakly into his chair, turning his head to look out the window. The weather was calm and sunny, and occasionally there were sounds of firecrackers.
Although it was still over ten days until the New Year, there was already a hint of festive spirit in the streets.
"Even if we gather all of humanity's strongest to guard the Extreme Spirit Pillar, will the Holy Star still stop at nothing to open it?"
And it's not just the Rainforest Maze. It's three locations...
There is no turning back. The second spirit energy resurgence is destined to happen.
Yang Jian vaguely remembered the spirit calamity chaos he experienced when he was young. What kind of scene that was.
"Can't we even get through this New Year?"
Communication Girl: "Brother Jian! Initiate the Nest Overthrowing, Star Fire Plan, and Cobweb Garrison Action! Begin the full evacuation of China!"
"I'll delay as much as possible here, but how long I can hold, I'm not sure."
Yang Jian clenched his fist, his expression difficult. "Are you sure? Are you sure you want to do this? Once it starts, there's no turning back."
What does this mean? The entire population of China will evacuate to spirit ruin shelters and air-raid shelters, abandoning everything on this fertile land.
The whole country will shut down. Years of accumulated construction will turn to nothing.
Economic losses, human losses, everything. The current situation will completely collapse. Peace and tranquility will cease to exist.
Communication Girl: "Brother Jian! If you hesitate, you'll suffer the consequences. Grandpa Di said, as long as the people are there, China is there."
"What else can we do? We can't stop this World Purification Plan. Should we just watch the spirit calamity erupt, slaughter cities, and destroy the world?"
"Since we can't stop it, we minimize the loss as much as possible. Do everything we can to protect what we can."
"Behind us is the abyss. Standing still leads to doom. Moving forward is full of thorns. That's the situation humanity faces now."
"What choice do we have? Do I need to say more?"
Yang Jian gritted his teeth. "We must go forward! Even if it's hard, we have to keep moving forward!"
Making this decision is very difficult. But humanity has no other choice.
Communication Girl: "The time before the full-scale outbreak of the spirit calamity is the golden window for evacuating the people."
"Inform the countries of Blue Star about this news. China has enough trouble dealing with its own affairs; we may not have time to worry about others."
"But at least we need to notify them. Whether they believe it or what response strategy they adopt, that's not our concern."
Yang Jian took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I'll notify them. What else do you need from me?"
It was conceivable that Jiangnan and his group would not return before the spirit calamity fully erupted.
And once the spirit calamity erupts, it means Jiangnan and the others have failed to guard the pillar.
Communication Girl: "Notify little brother Odin to come to the Rainforest Maze for support as soon as possible. Eat Little Cherry directly and enter the original spirit ruin."
"I don't know how ugly the final battle here will become. But I'll do my best to hold on, to buy time for the evacuation. Wish me luck."
Yang Jian was stunned, then his eyes were full of bitterness. "Brat! You have to come back alive."
Communication Girl did not respond but directly hung up the phone because Jiangnan had stopped speaking.
Jiangnan would not make promises he was not sure he could keep.
Nightwing looked at Yang Jian's expression, her heart panicking.
(☍﹏⁰) "Brother Jian... what's wrong? What happened?"
Yang Jian looked out the window. "Blue Star is about to undergo a second spirit energy resurgence. All spirit ruins from four eras will open simultaneously. The beast tide will surge."
"A spirit calamity chaos will sweep the entire world."
"Take one last look at this prosperity. You probably won't see it for a long time. We most likely won't get to eat dumplings on New Year's Eve this year."
Nightwing's face turned pale, her eyes full of disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
The documents in her arms scattered all over the floor.
Yang Jian slapped his cheeks hard until they were red. He grabbed his coat from the chair and strode out of the office.
"Jiangnan is doing his best to delay the opening of the World Purification Plan. He's giving us this golden window to make sufficient preparations."
"Contact the International Spirit Martial Alliance, gather the high-level officials of all countries, and prepare for a remote video conference."
"Activate China's highest red alert and first-level combat readiness! The Nest Overthrowing, Star Fire, and Cobweb Plans will be initiated simultaneously."
"I'm going to headquarters to see Commander Di."
As Yang Jian walked, he called various military bases. The national machinery began to operate frantically.
Nightwing stamped her foot, bit her lip, and disappeared from the office.
Not long after Yang Jian left the office.
The piercing sound of alarms echoed over the entire city of Kyoto.
Not just Kyoto. All cities, towns, counties, and villages across China heard the long, wailing alarms.
At this moment, workers building scaffolding and mixing cement on construction sites, white-collar workers making bid documents in office buildings, students in class...
Everyone heard the alarm piercing the sky.
One by one, they looked up at the sky, their faces full of confusion. None of them knew what was happening.
At the same time, everyone's phones began to vibrate with reminders. The screens automatically switched to red warning pages.
"Warning! Warning! This is not a drill! A large-scale spirit calamity is about to occur globally!"
"No matter what you are doing or where you are, immediately obey orders and evacuate to the nearest shelter."
"Or go to a shelter on your own. Please prioritize your life safety and evacuate quickly! Shelter locations have been announced!"
"Warning! Warning..."
On the phones, the page kept flashing reminders. Below was their own location and the positions of nearby shelters.
Above the city, the alarm sounded again and again.
On the bustling streets of the city, people were flowing. Someone pulled out their phone and rolled their eyes in annoyance.
"What the hell? Some spam virus app, right? What era is this? Who still makes pranks like this?"
"Hey? Your phone is like this too? Mine too! Sigh... maybe I've been browsing too many shady websites and got a virus or something."
But on the street, more and more people's phones vibrated. The scene became eerie.
The smile on that guy's face froze, and sweat started forming on his forehead.
On the streets, people's laughter and chatter stopped. They looked at their phones, staring at each other.
The bustling street corner fell silent at that moment, with only the alarm echoing again and again.
On the mall's big screens, even on TV, radio, all media devices, everything switched to flashing red alarm text.
"Warning! Warning! This is not a drill..."
The next moment, the silent streets burst with terrified screams. People no longer strolled leisurely; they ran like crazy.
Some were knocked down. Some lost things. Phone calls, crying, the sound of cars crashing—all could be heard.
An unprecedented mass evacuation.
Had begun amid the long, wailing alarms.
