Witch Special

The next day, a terrible explosion occurred in the suburbs of City Z near the abandoned city area. Accompanied by strong tremors that could be clearly felt throughout the city, a canyon outside the city was completely transformed into a basin. Because of the groundwater released by the explosion, the basin quickly filled with water and turned into a medium-sized lake.

This outrageous scene sent the B-rank heroes assigned to investigate into a panic. What kind of power could cause such devastation, enough to alter the city map? If such a terrifying force were to unleash within the city, the consequences would be disastrous. Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for now was that this unknown entity had little interest in destroying the city.

But this is a frustrating time. Humanity is like an acrobat walking precariously on a tightrope suspended a thousand feet above a cliff, perilous at any moment. Humanity has endured countless disasters far worse than the explosion outside the city, forging a formidable resilience. As long as the disaster hasn't truly struck, no matter how terrifying the underlying truth, they can set it aside for now, prioritizing the immediate troubles.

So, although the explosion outside the city was terrifying, it had no impact on the city center and was quickly forgotten by the citizens. Aside from the Hero Association reporting it as a ghost-level disaster with an unknown culprit, it had almost no impact at all.

The only one who was affected was probably our old but strong senior Silver Fang. It was said that he was limping when he returned to his gym and looked seriously injured. He immediately announced the temporary closure of the gym after returning, and refused to see anyone. I guess he was recuperating from his injuries.

The good news is that he probably won't bother Saitama anymore.

However, these things had nothing to do with Lin Zhenxi. Even when the explosion occurred, she just looked in the direction of the explosion from a distance. She guessed that it must be caused by Saitama showing his true strength to Bang, so she no longer paid attention to it.

Lin Zhenxi's current task is still focused on the site selection of the signal amplification tower, which is the major project she will start next.

The world's will had fallen into a deep slumber, and superficial communication was no longer sufficient to awaken it. It was like a person sound asleep who couldn't hear the birds chirping outside the window; ultimately, the noise wasn't loud enough. Lin Zhenxi didn't believe that person could still sleep if someone next door was bashing away at the wall with a pickaxe.

This was what Lin Zhenxi was about to do. Since the World Will couldn't hear her normal communication methods, she would increase the signal strength, using even greater power to search for the World Will's location. Once her signal waves blanketed the entire planet beneath her, the World Will would have nowhere to hide. She simply didn't believe the World Will could abandon this planet and flee.

I can only say that Lin Zhenxi has set a good flag, but she doesn’t know it yet.

Lin Zhenxi's next move was similar to building a radio tower. Ordinary small radio stations have a very short effective transmission range. Beyond a certain range, the signal is either distorted or completely lost. Therefore, the radio station should be built tall and large, transforming it into a signal tower, extending the signal's coverage to every corner of the planet, even to every inch of the earth beneath our feet. That way, even if the world will hide deep underground, even at the center of the Earth, Lin Zhenxi could find it.

Although the method was a bit rough and rude, Lin Zhenxi didn't care about that in order to get home. After all, she had completed the task assigned by the company, and this world had no reason or right to force her to stay. The problem now was not with Lin Zhenxi, but with this other world. So no matter what Lin Zhenxi did at this time, the company would definitely support her behind her back. So what was there for Lin Zhenxi to fear?

Do you understand the deterrent power of an organization that can wholesale time travelers? Cricket is the world will of another world. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they will be destroyed directly.

(Hands on hips, bragging for a moment.)

To ensure global signal coverage and reach deep underground, Lin Zhenxi needed to build his signal amplifier towers high and deep, ensuring sufficient contact with both the air above and the soil below, thereby boosting the signal's amplitude. Obviously, digging deep pits is the most challenging task compared to building tall buildings. To ease the workload and make the project easier, Lin Zhenxi would ideally find a natural underground rift valley as a site for the signal amplifier towers, with the rift extending as deep as possible. The abandoned city area was only a backup site for Lin Zhenxi; finding one within its boundaries would be ideal. After all, Lin Zhenxi's current identity was that of an ordinary entrepreneur—rich but ordinary. An ordinary person clearly couldn't maintain a foothold in the uninhabited areas outside the city, which had completely degenerated into a primitive environment. Furthermore, City Z was surrounded by many mountains. To be more precise, City Z was surrounded by three large mountain ranges. Fault lines often formed at the intersection of these mountain ranges, and that was where Lin Zhenxi was searching. But if he couldn't find a suitable underground rift in the entire abandoned city area, Lin Zhenxi would have no choice but to take off his ordinary disguise and go out of the city to search in the uninhabited area.

In reality, it would be exposed sooner or later, because the signal amplification tower Lin Zhenxi had built was simply not something the humans of this world could comprehend. Its architectural style, construction methods, building types, and functions were so utterly alien to this world that it was impossible to explain it with scientific breakthroughs. Once the signal amplification tower was completed, or even just begun, Lin Zhenxi's identity as an outsider would inevitably be exposed.

But what does that matter? With gaseous magic, an infrastructure artifact that is naturally suitable for large-scale interference with reality, Lin Zhenxi's speed in completing projects will be astonishingly fast. Just give her some time to develop slowly, and wait until the signal amplification tower is completed. In addition, with Saitama, this extraordinary existence, being her accomplice, there will be no one in this world who can stop her.

She just wanted to go home anyway, and she didn't have any deep-seated conflicts with this world. No one would really harbor undying hostility towards her just because she came from another world, right? No way, that wouldn't happen, right?

However, in order to reduce trouble, during the construction phase, we should try to hide it first. For example, build the underground part first, and then arrange the above-ground part into an ordinary construction site or something.

It didn't seem necessary. Normally, the construction of a large structure would take years, but if Lin Zhenxi were to personally build the signal amplifier tower, it could be completed in less than a month. Half of that time was spent on fine-tuning the details, so the main structure could be completed in about ten days.

With such a short timeframe, it's entirely possible to justify the site selection and preliminary preparations. If that doesn't work, then add the Idlers Dispersal Ward and the Muggle Repellent Charm. By the time Lin Zhenxi truly completes the signal amplification tower, she'll be completely unbeatable. By then, even if her ordinary person's vest falls off, it won't matter.

So, Lin Zhenxi’s job now is actually to find an underground rift, and this is what she is doing.

In fact, after leaving Saitama's house yesterday, Lin Zhenxi had already started working overnight. She took out the glass jar again and began to draw the underground structure near the abandoned city, just like she had drawn a three-dimensional map of the abandoned city when she first arrived.

Now more than ten hours have passed, and the underground structure of the entire abandoned city area has been scanned and mapped. Even the three-dimensional map of Liuli Altar has spread beyond the abandoned city area, and even most of the main urban area has been included.

This was because the scan this time was focused on the underground, exploring in depth rather than just a single plane like before. If it weren't for the need to look deeper, the Liuli Altar's display would probably be as large as ten Z cities.

It's a pretty good effect, isn't it? It's earned with magic power. To expand the Liuli Altar's coverage, Lin Zhenxi updated its base, replacing the original flat structure with a multi-layered, three-dimensional structure. This increased the number of magic pools from one to multiple layers, allowing for more if needed. This way, as long as Lin Zhenxi continuously supplies magic power to the Liuli Altar, the range it can depict will be limitless. Of course, this is only an ideal scenario, as the demand for magic power will increase exponentially as the Liuli Altar's depiction expands. Although Lin Zhenxi himself doesn't know how far the Liuli Altar can cover if he fully supplies it, he's afraid it wouldn't even reach from City Z to another numbered city, let alone the dream of global coverage. Therefore, it's better to be down-to-earth and honest.

The Glazed Altar operated fully automatically; as long as there was magic power, it would quietly expand on its own. So, after Lin Zhenxi set up the Glazed Altar and filled the magic pool with magic power, she went to sleep. And today, when she came back to check on the Glazed Altar, this always quiet treasure had given Lin Zhenxi a big surprise.

Just below the abandoned city of City Z, about 1500 meters deep, there was a massive underground space. And judging by the outlines depicted, this underground space had been constructed and divided into different areas, clearly indicating that someone was using it.

This depth was just right for Lin Zhenxi to build the underground portion of the signal amplification tower. It was like someone had just dozed off and someone was offering a pillow. Now, Lin Zhenxi unilaterally announced that this underground space was hers!
