Chapter 379: The invasion of the underwater world

"What’s going on here? What has happened?"

"It seems like they are building something, my goodness, on such a grand scale!"

"During the construction of Dawn City, there was never this much commotion. Is that the city lord? What does the city lord want to build?"

Someone looked up and, with surprise, spotted Waldo in the sky, speculating about it. However, no one informed them of the answer.

Soon, this news spread far and wide. Survivors from all over the world saw this message. Indeed, everything happening in Dawn City now is affecting the nerves of everyone globally, making them turn their attention here.

It’s possible that a single word or action from Dawn City will impact their destiny. People discussed this endlessly.

It’s said that there’s a white fog outside Dawn City, and no one knows what’s happening! This fog seems to stretch hundreds of meters high and over a hundred kilometers long!

Furthermore, there’s an unusual phenomenon in the sky, an unprecedented one! Dark clouds everywhere, thunder rolling, it’s terrifying.

This situation seems to be related to the construction of something. But, what are they building that’s causing such a disturbance?

People continue to speculate.

The time reaches noon.

At a certain moment, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly disperse, and the weather clears up, allowing the sunlight to finally shine down on the land of Dawn City. The fog also dissipates.

All the survivors of Dawn City stare wide-eyed at everything outside the city! A colossal, majestic giant serpent stands on the vast land.

This enormous serpent stands over a hundred meters tall, even from a distance of more than ten kilometers from Dawn City, it still gives all survivors a tremendous visual impact!

This is the city wall!

"Such a grand and majestic city wall, I’ve never seen anything like it before!"

"This is a miracle! My goodness!"

"I knew it, why else would there be such a phenomenon in the sky? To think it’s because of this!"

For a moment, the tens of thousands of survivors in Dawn City were in an uproar, all deeply moved. Even the high-ranking officials of Dawn City were greatly surprised, their mouths agape.

Silva said, "Who could breach a city wall so grand and colossal? Who could stand against it? My goodness! Does this mean that Dawn City will be impregnable in the future?"

Calvert was equally amazed.

However, only Alanna and Helen knew the truth. The reason Waldo constructed such an immense city was not just for appearances or to intimidate enemies but to defend against the sea giants from the depths.

Finally, it’s over. Waldo looked down at the winding city wall, resembling a giant serpent from ancient times, lying on the earth.

A smile couldn’t help but spread across his face. Building this city wall had consumed a great deal of his mental energy, but it was all worth it.

With this city wall, their chances of resisting the sea giants had increased by threefold. However, the only remaining issue was how to move the rest of the survivors here.

Just as Waldo was contemplating this, the system suddenly issued a warning:

[Warning! Sea giants from the depths will invade the surface world in ten days. The entire globe will face a sweeping invasion by the sea giants. All survivors, please prepare in advance to resist the sea giants’ invasion!]

"What? Sea giants from the depths? Invasion?!"

"My goodness! What on earth is that? Why would there be an invasion from the sea depths?"

This situation doesn’t look simple at all, even the system is issuing a warning! Are we limited to going to Dawn City? What kind of life forms are these sea giants, and do they have the power to destroy us?

"This is frustrating, we’ve just settled down and haven’t enjoyed a few days of safety, and now this! It looks like this time, the situation is even more serious, and the whole world will suffer!"

"That’s right. From the system’s announcement, it seems that even the system judges our city won’t be able to withstand the sea giants from the depths."

"Once the sea giants invade, our city will fall, and there’s no doubt we will perish. Perhaps, Dawn City is our only and final line of defense."

When the system’s announcement came out, everyone saw it. It was like a stone thrown into a pond, creating ripples.

At first, people were a bit confused, not fully understanding what the system was conveying. But then, a sense of dread set in.

From those few words, they sensed a massive crisis. In ten days, they might very well face an apocalyptic disaster. Survivors worldwide could be wiped out, and Dawn City might be their last refuge.

At that moment, someone suddenly thought of some recent actions by Waldo and couldn’t help but let their imagination run wild.

"I remember now. Ever since Waldo appeared suddenly, he’s been relocating large numbers of survivors to Dawn City. Could it be that he found out something in advance?"

It was highly likely that Waldo, being the most powerful figure globally, had access to privileged information, and it was normal for him to know things beforehand.

Waldo probably got wind of this news in advance, which is why he moved so many survivors to Dawn City. Simultaneously, his merciless slaughter of those with ill intentions was likely to prevent any trouble.

"I see. I was wondering why Waldo went on a killing spree recently, wiping out many skilled individuals. This is the reason. If that’s the case, we can’t blame him. Those people brought it upon themselves, they got what they deserved. If you choose to challenge a killing deity like Waldo, you should be prepared for the consequences."

While people were engaged in intense discussions about the invasion from the sea depths and in awe of Waldo’s seemingly prescient actions, many survivors had already begun to prepare for the impending threat. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Meanwhile, the leadership of various major cities convened emergency meetings to discuss the invasion from the depths of the sea. The focal point of these discussions was whether or not to leave their original cities and relocate to Dawn City.

In theory, they hadn’t provoked Waldo, and it was highly unlikely that he would target them. So, staying in their respective cities, they all held high-ranking positions and wielded authority over the masses.

But once in Dawn City, it was easy to imagine that their social standing might never be the same again. They would have to obey Dawn City and Waldo’s directives, possibly relinquishing their own power. This was a bitter pill for them to swallow.

"We’ve held power for so long, we’re accustomed to living above others. Once we go to Dawn City, our status may cease to exist. We might even have to be subservient to the people in Dawn City. Tell me, is this something you’re willing to accept?"

In a meeting of the leadership of one of the cities, a survivor sighed, and the others nodded in agreement. For ordinary survivors, the prospect of going to Dawn City was appealing. However, for these leaders, it was a difficult decision.

Fortunately, just when they were grappling with this dilemma, Dawn City issued an announcement that dispelled the doubts of the leadership of various cities.

"We solemnly promise to retain the management authority of the original city’s leadership over the survivors of their own city as much as possible. The condition is that you must adhere to Dawn City’s rules, provide unwavering support, and complete Lord Waldo’s tasks!"
