Chapter 290: The Second Endtime (Part 3)

Someone saw this shocking scene through the window and couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He stuck his face to the car window. “Oh, hell… This is so scary! I’ve been here before. The sea was calm and gentle back then. Why is it so violent now?”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, one after another, enormous waves overlapped and roared towards the shore as if something terrible was about to appear from the bottom of the sea. This time, the seawater directly drenched half of the beach!
There were cries in the convoy, as if they were about to get hit by the huge wave. Several drivers even shook their steering wheels and almost hit the trees next to them.
Tang Susu switched on the radio again. “Everyone, stay calm!”
Lu Yunxiang’s voice immediately followed. “Captain, can we still take the original route? This side of the beach is a few hundred meters wide, but we’ll be very close to the sea further ahead. If we get hit by such a huge wave, I’m afraid we won’t make it!”
“And 1 suspect that the real danger is at the bridge. We’ll be surrounded by the sea, and we won’t be able to do anything if anything happens while we’re crossing it.” Bai Yanhui, who had always been playful, also said earnestly.
Liang Jun couldn’t help but walk to the front of the bus and picked up the radio. “1 remember that a second route was marked on the map.”
There was clearly something special about the route marked with a black marker.
In the bulletproof vehicle, Tang Mingchu immediately spread out a map. Tang Mingqi, who was sitting next to him, avoided it with disdain. He didn’t even look at it, as he clearly knew what was going on. “Not only is that route twice the distance, but it’s also more rugged and dangerous!”
They had to cross a large forest, which was over a hundred kilometers wide.
As everyone knew, the more dangerous mutated animals and plants were in the dense forest. If it was just some grass or small trees, they would not be that dangerous even if they mutated. However, the danger from a forest would be unimaginable.
That was why Tang Susu marked it with a black line. She wasn’t considering that route at all.
However, why did she mark it out then? It was to prevent the situation before his eyes.
The second sign of the Endtime.
It was also known as “The Second Endtime” in the game, caused by the violent and abnormal movement of the earth’s crust.
The first sign of the Endtime was the spread of an unknown virus, infecting everything globally, causing them to mutate… or perhaps, it was more apt to put it as evolution!
Everything was to prepare for the second sign of the Endtime.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, mudflows, blizzards, cold waves, polar days, polar nights, and all kinds of terrifying and extreme natural disasters would invade the entire earth one after another at that time.
There was no escape for any ordinary humans at all. Humans would fall into an even more desperate situation!
Tang Susu looked at the rising sea level. The surging waves were still crashing violently against the shore.
That was just a sign of the Second Endtime.
These changes were happening rapidly all over the world, indicating that in less than a year, or even half a year at the earliest, the true Endtime for mankind would descend!
The radio was filled with heated discussions, and even their enthusiasm for reaching Shichang City had faded a lot.
“This is just an inland sea, and it has already turned into this. I wonder what will happen to other places?”
“Hiss, did the marine creatures mutate too? Maybe it’s a blue whale that had become extremely huge and it happened to squeeze out a huge amount of seawater?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. A blue whale that’s more than 30 meters in height is already very scary. Don’t tell me it can become as big as an aircraft carrier!?”
“With something like this, I think that several blue whales the size of aircraft carriers must be fighting nearby!”
The more they spoke, the more desperate and horrified they felt. They all asked for help, “Miss Tang…”
Tang Susu still wanted to take this route. I could see the danger of the enormous waves with the naked eye, but they couldn’t predict the dangers lurking inside the forest.
That forest was also “lovingly” called the “Forest of Death” by the players. The difficulty of clearing the forest was insane. Entering it would be like sending one’s head to the chopping block willingly. Only high-level players dared to take the risk.
At this moment, Tang Susu wasn’t controlling a game character. She was facing it as her real self and she wasn’t alone. She brought a group of people with her. Although she did say that she wasn’t responsible for their life and death, she still cared.
“Don’t be too nervous. Continue moving forward!”
Everyone stopped discussing it, but Tang Susu’s calm words calmed them down.
Fortunately, not every spot had surging waves. Due to the terrain, some of them were very calm.
However, in some places, it was particularly turbulent. It even crossed the embankment that was over ten meters high. A wave would occasionally pounce over and roll down the cars parked by the side of the road!
The group was almost hit by the huge wave and would yelp out and hurriedly slowed down, not daring to drive forward..
