Even with his exceptional vision, he could barely see the scenery below the fourth or fifth floors. The fog, as if alive, was surging upward from below, devouring all the light. Zhuo Feng frowned deeply, then looked forward. Outside the building, the entire world was an abyss of darkness, with no sight of any other scene. The originally present office buildings, overpasses, and bustling streets had all vanished. At this moment, the Noah Building stood like an isolated island in a dark ocean. Zhuo Feng withdrew his gaze, looking doubtfully at Feng Jincai, who had been observing for a long time. Feng Jincai squinted, his chubby face devoid of any smile. His lips were tightly pressed, and after a moment, he slowly uttered a sentence: "I have a bad feeling; we might have... entered some ’Inner World’." Zhuo Feng was slightly taken aback by these words. Feng Jincai suddenly turned to look at him, his tone carrying a hint of urgency: "Zhuo Feng, contact the minister immediately and ask about the situation in the testing zone!" Zhuo Feng quickly raised his hand to press his earpiece, sending out a call signal. But only a cacophony of static came through, indicating severe interference and rendering clear communication impossible. He then switched channels to contact Black Hawk, the captain responsible for the testing zone’s defense. The situation remained the same; the earpiece emitted only faint crackling sounds, faintly interspersed with gunfire and shouting, before the communication completely cut off. Just then, a commotion erupted near the door of the conference hall. "What’s going on? So much smoke, who set off a smoke grenade?" The Hunters raised their guns uncertainly, aiming outside the door. Gray-white fog, like a snake, slithered in from the corridor, swiftly spreading into the conference hall. After a moment, frantic shouts echoed from the distant end of the corridor. "What the hell is that thing?" "Be careful, don’t get close!" "Damn it! Open fire, open fire now!" Gunfire erupted suddenly, only to stop abruptly. Replacing it were hair-raising cries and horrifying screams. The rain curtains hung low, neon flickering, dyeing the night sky over East Capital a deep indigo. The streets were a tapestry of vehicle flows, the taillights dragging streams of color on the rain-soaked asphalt. Gao Jin stood silently on the Roof Terrace of an office building, holding a black umbrella. Raindrops pattered on the umbrella, making a fine tapping sound. As the wind intensified, the rain fell faster and faster, like countless tiny drumbeats. His gaze pierced through the rain, landing on the opposite Noah Building. This steel and concrete behemoth was now shrouded in deathly silence. All windows were pitch black, and even the white "NOAH" logo at the top was completely extinguished. "What happened in there?" Gao Jin murmured to himself. He attempted several times, pressing his communicator, trying to connect with Cheng Jiashu, who had infiltrated the building. But apart from static, there was no response. The signal seemed to be completely cut off by some invisible force. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥 As White Owl’s living coordinate for spatial traversal, he had to remain in place. Any large movement could affect the precise and dangerous upcoming operations. This inability to move, under the eerie circumstances before him, inevitably left him feeling somewhat restless and uneasy. Suddenly, Gao Jin’s pupils slightly contracted, his gaze fixed on the Noah Building’s dark glass curtain wall. "Who is that... and what do they want?"
