Witch Special

The joy of obtaining the magic essence was dispelled by the vibration of the mobile phone. Lin Zhenxi frowned, and reluctantly turned his gaze away from the magic essence that was slowly falling into the energy pool below, and took out the mobile phone from his pocket.

Normally, once Lin Zhenxi immersed herself in her research, even Baizhi couldn't be contacted if something happened, forcing her to wait for her to show up. However, being completely isolated from the outside world wasn't ideal, so she prepared a cell phone and shared its number with Saitama and Genos, two of her handy tools, one for the arts and one for the military, explaining the significance of the number.

She believed that these two people would not use this phone to contact her unless it was an extremely urgent situation.

The name "Saitama" was displayed on the phone, so it was obvious who was calling. Hayashi Maki swiped his finger across the screen and answered the call.

"Hello, uncle? What happened? Why did you call me?"

"Xiao Lin, something big has happened. Let's go to J City." Saitama said on the other end of the phone in a tone that didn't sound like a negotiation at all.

Lin Zhenxi frowned and recalled the continental map of this alien world and the geographical distribution map of the major numbered cities.

City J should be a coastal city. Before the monsters started to flood the city, it was one of the busiest port cities in the world. In terms of prosperity, it was also one of the most prosperous cities in the world. Even that area was very prosperous and developed.

Later, as monsters began to appear in large numbers, residents around large cities began to move towards the nearest large cities. As a result, J City absorbed a large number of residents from surrounding small and medium-sized cities, and its population expanded dramatically, and wealth also gathered.

In Lin Zhenxi's memory, all the development data of J City were very high, especially in the important indicator of economy. It was ranked third among the major numbered cities under the jurisdiction of the United Government, second only to City A, which was the headquarters of the United Government, and City C, known as the "industrial heart".

Although City J is very important to the coalition government, what does it have to do with the backward, underdeveloped and hopeless City Z?

City Z is a newly developed city, and it was abandoned halfway before it was fully developed. Apart from low-value-added commodities such as food, City Z has nothing to offer. Naturally, it has nothing to do with star cities in the coalition government such as City J.

Anyway, Lin Zhenxi didn't feel anything when she heard the name J City. Apart from the fact that Baizhi opened a few shops there, she had no connection with that city at all.

"J City, isn't it a huge city? What could go wrong..." Lin Zhenxi said as he turned on the hands-free mode, moved the call interface to the background, and then searched for J City using the phone's built-in browser.

The first search result that caught my eye was the news: "J City was flooded by a tsunami, and a strange person claimed responsibility for it."

Seeing this headline in bold and the accompanying picture of a steel jungle immersed in an ocean, Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but gasp.

"Okay, now I know. What's the population of J City?"

One hundred and thirty-two million.

Without Saitama's answer, Lin Zhenxi searched for the number on the Internet.

Because the entire population is concentrated in these numbered cities, the total population of cities in this world has exploded. Even the extremely declining city Z has tens of millions of middle-aged and elderly people, not to mention those developed regions and developed cities.

As a city with a highly developed economy, J City naturally has a strong attraction to foreign population. Although its population data is not as eye-catching as its economic data, it also ranks among the top among all numbered cities.

With a population of over 100 million, how many people would die if a tsunami that completely submerged the entire city was filmed? Furthermore, it appeared that the water hadn't receded after entering the city; instead, the water level continued to rise rapidly, as if it was about to submerge the entire J City underwater.

City J is a massive city with numerous tall buildings. Even when the tsunami struck, many people fled to floors above the surface. If the water level continued to rise, the space available for movement would inevitably shrink. With nowhere to retreat, people would likely drown.

A human tragedy is about to unfold in that super-large city.

What puzzled Lin Zhenxi was that the sea level should not change. Although J City was a port city, the problem of seawater backflow must have been considered when it was built. How could it be possible that seawater poured into the city and the water level continued to rise?

Even if a freak claimed responsibility for this incident, it couldn't possibly have the power to raise sea levels, could it? That was too much of an exaggeration. Rather than an overall rise in sea levels, Lin Zhenxi was more inclined to believe it had the power to drive the tides. It was precisely because of that freak behind the scenes that the seawater was constantly pouring into J City, defying common sense.

No matter what, Lin Zhenxi couldn't just watch a big city with hundreds of millions of people fall. Her heart wasn't hard enough to that extent.

Furthermore, this also concerns her image in Saitama's eyes. Until now, Saitama has always seen Hayashi Maki as a decent person with a strong sense of justice, albeit a bit mysterious in her actions. If Hayashi Maki remains indifferent to the flooding of J City, the image she has painstakingly cultivated will be in danger of collapse.

In short, let's take action first. As for what we can do for J City, we'll talk about it when the time comes.

Of course, the above is Saitama's idea. After seeing the current appearance of J City on TV, the bald devil was already in a state of passion and couldn't wait to save the citizens from the water and execute justice on the monsters who caused the disaster.

The reason why Saitama contacted Hayashi Maki was because Hayashi Maki could take him to City J more quickly. Although Saitama himself was very fast, the distance between City Z and City J was too far. If Saitama really ran there, it would take an hour or two no matter how fast he ran.

The situation in J City is extremely urgent now. Arriving one minute earlier can save more people, so Saitama doesn't want to delay for even a second.

So Saitama set his sights on Lin Zhenxi's space teleportation ability. Even though Saitama felt very bad about space teleportation, the situation was urgent and he couldn't care less.

After knowing Saitama's idea, Lin Zhenxi did not refuse, but asked him to wait for a few minutes. After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhenxi left the energy pool, repaired the magic seal at the entrance and exit of the energy pool, and then turned to Liulidan's room.

Lin Zhenxi had already spent considerable time in this otherworldly world, and the Glazed Altar, a strategically placed magical item he had initially placed there, had grown to considerable size. While it still had some distance to go before reaching the global coverage Lin Zhenxi desired, J City, thousands of kilometers away, was already within its scanning range.

The most important thing about Apparition is the spatial coordinates of the target. If you use it randomly without the coordinates, the risk of accidents will be too great, and once something goes wrong, it will result in death or injury.

If it was a place he had never been to, like the last time Saitama fell into the desert, Lin Maki could only raise the altitude coordinates of the teleportation by a few hundred meters, for fear that he would hit something when teleported there. That was because Saitama was carrying a communicator and Lin Maki knew his specific coordinates.

The J City she was going to now was a completely unfamiliar city to her, with tall buildings and complex terrain. There was no guide to provide her with specific and safe spatial coordinates. If Liulitan could no longer provide her with suitable and safe spatial coordinates, she might have to use a stupid method, drag out the launch pad, and launch Saitama as a human cannonball.

Given the straight-line distance between City Z and City J, even if Lin Zhenxi didn't use his brain to calculate, he knew that it was unrealistic to launch Saitama there in one go.

The "speed" granted by the magical radiation is a vector that cannot be changed once it is determined. After Saitama is launched, his trajectory will not have even the slightest bend. It will go straight through the atmosphere and fly into space. It is impossible for him to make an arc along the atmosphere and then land accurately in J City.

So if a launch pad is used, Lin Zhenxi can only help Saitama save a long distance, but there is still no way to send him to J City in one go.

Fortunately, the Liuli Altar is doing very well, and its coverage now includes J City. In other words, Lin Zhenxi can now even directly project his soul to J City, and obtaining the spatial coordinates is naturally not a problem.

Through the glazed altar, Lin Zhenxi observed the current situation within J City. The sea had indeed flooded into the city, affecting every district, though the water levels varied. In the port area, closest to the coast, the sea had submerged every building dozens of meters underwater. Not only were the buildings completely destroyed, but Lin Zhenxi also saw numerous bodies, their bodies horribly dead, amidst the floating debris. When the tsunami struck, the port workers, who bore the brunt of the impact, had no time to escape and were crushed to death at their workstations.

The scene here was so tragic that Lin Zhenxi couldn't bear to watch any longer after just a few glances, so he controlled the Liuli Altar to shift the view and check the situation in other urban areas.

The situations in several urban areas are not the same. The closer to inland, the shallower the flooding. Especially in the new urban area closest to the inland, there are only traces of being flooded by sea water. Although there is still water on the streets, it does not affect the passage and evacuation of people.

After checking the situation in several urban areas, Lin Zhenxi found the strange man who claimed to be responsible for the incident, a muscular fishman wearing a crown who was being besieged by a large number of heroes.

In other words, it's the super weirdo who is playing with the heroes like a cat and a mouse.

Deep Sea King.
