The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 555 Shocking Change (Part 2)

"You are now... Boom—" Almost simultaneously, a loud bang came from both sides, accompanied by a terrifying tremor, and the communication was forcibly terminated as if the line had been cut.

Jiang Hui didn't bother to investigate why the computer had cut off communication, because she realized that the loud noise they heard might be from the same source, and the intense shaking was coming from the entire building.

With the loud bangs and tremors, the whole scene began to descend into chaos. Waves of shaking continued beneath our feet, and a series of loud bangs, seemingly from nowhere, erupted everywhere, accompanied by screams from near and far. The atmosphere of disaster instantly reached its peak.

Everyone inside the bookstore came out, all with solemn and flustered expressions.

Inside the bookstore, an inconspicuous doorway opened, and a group of people dressed in uniforms similar to those of sales assistants poured out. A slightly overweight middle-aged man, leading the group, said nervously, "Quick, collect and pack them up... take as many as you can!" He then led a young man toward one of the bookshelves.

Jiang Hui heard a customer ask him in a panic what had happened, and then heard the man say hastily, "You shouldn't stay here either, leave immediately. You'd better find a way to get reinforcements, something's happened... something terrible has happened to our Weixi."

The other person wanted to ask something more, but the store manager and other employees were engrossed in packing and didn't say anything more. One person responsible for their area seemed to have finished collecting and quickly rushed out of the store, leaving without looking back.

The store manager was still muttering, "Oh my god, how could this happen... We can't escape, none of us can escape!!"

Jiang Hui's heart sank, and she left the antique bookstore, which seemed to have suddenly become narrow and oppressive, with the flow of people.

However, the outside was no more comfortable than the inside; she was facing an even darker sky.

As soon as Jiang Hui stepped out of the bookstore, he saw that the space directly above him had suddenly turned dark. That was the dome that stretched straight up from the entire shopping mall. It was the highest point of the building, and it was said that on a clear night, one could see the most beautiful starry sky in the West.

However, at this moment, dark clouds swirled overhead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and black dots of all sizes seemed to pollute the clear sky.

These indistinct black shadows bobbed up and down, some writhing and twisting, others plummeting rapidly toward this side, causing panic.

Is this... the end of the world? Jiang Hui's heart pounded wildly.

--------------

This was originally just an ordinary day on the planet Atlantis.

This shopping mall is the most bustling place on the west side of the West Wing. It's not very noticeable in the morning, but as the afternoon approaches lunchtime, the crowds gradually increase, and there are even quite a few young faces among them.

Today is a day off for most schools, and many children are returning home from their extended holiday. The parents of the interstellar people are no different from those of the old culture of their home planet; they all want to take their children, who are usually burdened with schoolwork, out for a trip during this precious holiday.

If you don't want to leave the island, this shopping mall is undoubtedly a good choice. There are even several floors dedicated to children, where they can play after their meal.

No one expected... that such a normal outing would lead to this.

No, it should be said that even if they weren't in the mall, they would most likely have encountered the same disaster, because this is a crisis affecting the entire island. Xiao Wei attends Connia Junior Academy on Weixi Island. Born in the Deep Sea District, she was admitted to a school on Weixi Island, and her parents are very proud of her. Students like her are generally among the most outstanding students in the Deep Sea District, and the school offers scholarships.

Xiaowei is adapting well here, but she faces the prospect of being separated from her parents for an extended period. Although her parents cannot visit her as often as other local residents of Weixi, they have their own ways of showing love.

Today is the day they applied to visit their child, who lives on Vesik Island. They have also booked a table at a well-known restaurant in the mall, planning to enjoy a delicious, natural meal with their child.

Xiao Wei was also exceptionally happy. Her family's financial situation was average, and they rarely had the opportunity to enjoy such delicacies. In addition, unlike other local students living in Weixi, she could only submit applications for long-term residence in Weixi on a semester basis and could not easily leave the island. Only her parents could apply to visit her on the island once a year.

Today, Xiaowei was going to see her parents and dine at the restaurant she had been looking forward to for so long… She had been anticipating this for days and even wore her prettiest dress. She had bought it with her scholarship money this semester; she wanted to tell her parents that she could earn money now, and that this beautiful dress was purchased with her bonus. She had also bought them other gifts.

However, just as the family of three happily walked towards the restaurant, everything changed.

A hideous, terrifying beast face slammed down onto the nearest lithium-silicon floor-to-ceiling window, causing the entire building to shake violently.

The behemoth, not content with its initial impact, raised its dark wings high, the distinct bone structure of which pierced through the windows like steel. Numerous lithium-silicon fragments shot out, scattering across the corridor, embedding themselves in the bustling crowd, and landing in the shops on each floor.

— This is how chaos ensued.

To protect his mother and her, Xiaowei's father had his entire arm pierced by lithium silicon fragments, instantly turning it black and purple, and bleeding profusely.

He endured the pain and protected his wife and daughter as they fled.

It's so chaotic...it's terrifying.

But that giant beast was just the beginning. Almost simultaneously, dozens of other giant beasts of similar size surrounded the building, seemingly discovering a large number of living beings inside. Sharp cries echoed throughout the mall, accompanied by screams of people fleeing, and strange, unsettling noises emanated from below.

The building seemed to be constantly being struck, and its structure began to tilt. The external behemoth continued to pierce through the walls, forcing people to flee for their lives, hoping to buy themselves a chance to survive.

At the same time, countless families were plunged into despair.

Xiaowei's father was injured, her mother was just an ordinary office worker, and Xiaowei was still young. The three of them were too weak to resist such a sudden disaster.

Their path was blocked by the suddenly collapsing beams, cutting off their escape route. They were then forced to detour to another bridge that appeared to be on the verge of collapse, hoping to quickly cross the area and reach the other side.

And just as I feared, the colossal beast above pierced through again, unexpectedly knocking down a massive beam that was now hurtling towards the bridge.

The family of three had already reached the halfway point and were unable to evacuate in time. They were powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the beam collapsed, awaiting their deaths.
