Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 399 - 398 Unrest
While Zhou Bai was harvesting luck and plundering the Heavenly Demon:
Christina was sprawled inside the closed room, wiggling her butt while focusing intently on writing something in a small notebook:
"You were given a chance, Cang Ming, but you couldn't make use of it."
"You lost, Kong Chan."
"Jian Hui… may I borrow your lightsaber?"
After Christina finished writing these lines, she tilted her head and thought, "Hmm, Zhou Bai's ideas are really out of this world and unconventional. I still have so much to learn."
"Too bad I have to pretend to be in closed meditation, I wish I could find a place to practice and have no opportunity."
Then Christina's eyes suddenly lit up, "Right, why do I need to pretend to be in closed meditation? I can just go out. After all, no one knows I'm not Zhou Bai."
At that thought, Christina sprang up, tucked the little notebook into her bosom, and couldn't wait to leave the training room.
Shortly after she left the training room, Ying Hui arrived with a face full of joy, hurrying toward the training room: 'Yan Hui and their team have been really efficient this time; Original Daoist Texts 04 has been secured and delivered to West Mountain City. Let's arrange for Zhou Bai to go practice now.'
But then, he remembered the search for the Original Daoist Texts had cost the lives of 21 monks, he sighed inwardly: 'Rest assured, your sacrifices won't be in vain.'
He knocked on the training room door and shouted for a while, but there was no response from inside. Ying Hui simply barged in, only to find the door unlocked and the room empty.
"Where is Zhou Bai?"
"Where has he gone?"
…
As Christina, controlling Zhou Bai's body, was thinking about where to have fun, several female disciples began following her.
"Is that Zhou Bai?"
"It seems like him, I saw him the other day."
"He's looking this way."
Christina turned her head towards the female disciples and said, "I'm giving you a chance to touch me."
The female disciples: "?"

Christina: "You had your chance, and you missed it. Useless, all of you."
Christina continued, "Let me tell you a harsh truth, I like cats, not women, so you've already lost."
Seeing the dejected faces of the female disciples, Christina turned around triumphantly, "Refreshing. I feel like I have improved again and am closing the gap with Zhou Bai."
Christina: "Where is the West Mountain Daoist School? Maybe I should go and challenge them."
As Christina was running towards West Mountain Daoist School, Ying Hui caught up to her, grabbing her shoulder and said, "Zhou Bai, what's with all the running? The Original Daoist Texts 04 have arrived. Come and check it out with me quickly."
"The Original Daoist Texts 04 arrived?" Christina's eyes suddenly brightened: "They finally found it? How did they find it?"
Ying Hui: "We'll talk about it later; first, see if you can cultivate it."
…
In the territory occupied by the Heavenly Demon, a plain completely covered by metal.
Xu Dela sat cross-legged deep underground, his many snake heads opening their mouths and ceaselessly swallowing Heavenly Demons around him.
With each Level 1 Heavenly Demon he tore apart and ingested, various metallic tissues within him writhed and proliferated, seemingly expanding his body yet another time.
His figure had already regained two-thirds of its original size.
"Damn Zhou Bai! Cursed Xuan Nu! Once I've recovered, I'll slaughter all of you."
Just then, as information from other Heavenly Demons filtered through the Quantum Communication Network, Xu Dela instantly twisted his body, causing the underground space to tremble violently.
He saw a message from a Heavenly Demon in the network: "Suspected presence of Zhou Bai detected."
"The awful stench of black mud, and the insane, poorly written and ugly scribbles."
"It's definitely him, he's here again."
"And he has brought others."
"Kill him! Kill him!"
But the next instant, the messages quieted slightly, with only Heavenly Demon King Ai's message flashing, "Don't kill him, I want you to capture him. Bring Zhou Bai to me, he is of great research value."
"Which of the great Heavenly Demons is still on Earth?"
A voice roared instantly, one of the five-headed great Heavenly Demons, a Level 7 dragon-like creature previously repelled by humans in front of West Mountain City: "I'll go, this time there's no one to help Zhou Bai, I will definitely capture him."
Ai: "Gorinich? Alright, do not kill him; capture him and send him to the Saturn Base."
Upon hearing this, Xu Dela immediately said, "Heavenly Demon King! Let me participate in this capture mission as well. Zhou Bai is extremely cunning, and together our success rate will be higher."
Ai: "Xu Dela, you failed last time, and not only did you fail, but you also lost two-thirds of your body mass, which was a huge waste."
Xu Dela immediately responded, "My Lord, it is precisely because of my previous failure that I have come to understand Zhou Bai's cunning and shamelessness. This time, I will definitely succeed and present him before you."
Ai: "Then both of you go, but remember, Xu Dela, I will not tolerate failure twice. In the Heavenly Demon Pool, many are willing to replace you."
…
On the northwestern front, within a forest in the area occupied by Heavenly Demons.
A group of people formed a circle, looking at a map and comparing their current coordinates.
The man leading, a middle-aged man with a square face, said, "This time, Master Ming Yue has sent us to seize that data. We must succeed and not fail. Everyone must do their utmost and not hold back."
The speaker was Xiao Hun, one of the Seven Sons of Righteous Yang, a disciple of the Immortal Ming Yue and a seventh realm spear figure.
And Ming Yue Immortal, who had previously interfered in the major competition between the four schools, had been a strong supporter of the East Mountain Daoist School but had shifted her stance in recent years.
Another person said, "Senior brother, did Master send us here in such a hurry because there is some issue with that experimental data?"
Xiao Hun said, "I'm not quite sure of the specifics. However, it's certain that this experimental base was one of the many mass-produced by the Celestial Court 50 years ago."
50 years prior, the Celestial Court and humanity, in order to study the distortion of Heavenly Dao, had massively mobilized manpower to establish various experimental bases, each responsible for different distortion projects.
The experimental base Zhou Bai first encountered with Dr. Zhuang was also one from this batch.
Xiao Hun continued, "The research projects conducted in those experimental bases 50 years ago were very mysterious, some said to be incredibly bizarre—experiments such as insomnia, brain swap, and necrophagy were rumored, though it's unclear if they were true or false.
However, the person in charge of the plan then was one of the three great Heavenly Monarchs of the Plague Department, Blood Soul Heavenly Monarch, and the entire plan was controlled by the Plague Department. The fact that they have dispatched people to search now also implies that there's something extraordinary about this base."
