Full-time Creation Master

In the early morning in Hangzhou, the early autumn breeze carries a slight chill, gently brushing against the cheeks like a tender caress from nature.

The leaves of the trees lining the street are beginning to turn slightly yellow, shimmering with golden light under the sun. Occasionally, a few leaves break free from the branches, twirling in the air and slowly drifting down, as if dancing a beautiful autumn dance.

In the roadside flowerbeds, the colorful flowers, which the municipal government has devoted a great deal of effort to planting, are still blooming beautifully.

Red as fire, pink as the sunset, white as snow, they sway gracefully in the breeze, exuding a faint fragrance.

Leng Lingling sat on the back of the bicycle, looking around excitedly, and occasionally letting out cheerful laughter.

"I really don't know what's so great about this?"

"Mind your own business, hmph~~~"

"......"

As they were traveling and chatting and playing around, a series of urgent police sirens came from afar.

Two or three dozen vehicles belonging to the three parties—the health department, the court, and the health bureau—hurriedly passed by.

The vehicle's flashing warning lights and blaring sirens shattered the morning's tranquility.

Leng Lingling and Chu Ming exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt rising in their hearts, 'Something happened?'

Hangzhou is a tourist city, and for an official motorcade to pass through like this without any regard for safety is bound to cause a huge sensation.

This is an absolute failure in terms of public sentiment, safety, and Hangzhou's economy!

So...something happened?

It wasn't just Lingling and Chuming who were clever; some pedestrians also became hurried and quickened their pace.

beep beep~``

Leng Lingling and Chu Ming simultaneously received a notification from the HZ municipal government, citing a small-scale demon invasion in the southern part of Hangzhou, requiring residents to self-isolate at home.

Passersby also took out their phones to check the text message. Some people turned pale instantly after seeing the notice, and without saying a word, they turned around and ran home to prepare for quarantine.

At the supermarket entrance, some quick-thinking people had already begun to rush to buy goods, pushing shopping carts and frantically weaving between the shelves, stuffing food, daily necessities and other items into their carts. The once orderly supermarket instantly turned into chaos.

Some passersby looked at the text message with confident indifference.

They muttered under their breath, "Making a mountain out of a molehill," "When has our Hangzhou city ever been haunted by demons?" and "Making a fuss over nothing," and continued walking slowly, as if the quarantine notice had nothing to do with them.

A thousand people, a thousand faces; a thousand postures...

Leng Lingling frowned as she looked at the chaotic scene around her, her heart filled with displeasure.

"What exactly is going on?"

Why do we suddenly have to be quarantined?

The city issued a notice without any prior notice; aren't they afraid of causing complete chaos?

Despite her intelligence and privileged background, Lingling has experienced little of the darker side of life and lacks the power to suppress chaos. Her intelligence is only effective in maintaining order, where she can easily outmaneuver ten others. Therefore, she naturally dislikes chaos!

Chu Ming also looked serious, and he stopped his bicycle.

His expression softened after contacting the various scouts in the barracks.

"Even an inch of land in the Northern Frontier is still being fought over, but the intensity remains at the mid-to-high level. Monarch-level fighters typically emerge two or three times a month..."

"Oh? Ai Jiangtu killed a half-crippled monarch?!"

"I'm going to be famous now!"

『.......』

"Two-thirds of the water in Dianchi Lake has been purified..."

『......』

The confident Remiel is currently leading the Holy City's high-ranking mage legion, following the Book of Angelic Wisdom and with Chu Ming's deliberate guidance, to confront the prophesied "White Cloud Demon Calamity" head-on! He is preventing these two Salamander Emperors and Extreme Shell Demon Lords from advancing to Emperor level...

"The Black Vatican is now fiercely fighting in the Black Sea, which is almost turning into a Red Sea... but where is Sarang?"

Sa Lang: ........Someone sent a full five teams of werewolves and vampires to 'notify' me----stop messing around in the Dragon Kingdom!

"Nick Fury truly lives up to his title as the King of Spies. Without anyone knowing, he single-handedly tracked down Alexander Pierce. Now he's locked in a fierce battle with his former boss, and assassinations are coming one after another..."

It's worth mentioning that Nick Fury, who had gained a slight advantage, actually managed to stabilize the situation thanks to the financial support from Chu Ming's S.H.I.E.L.D. Asia headquarters, the military's assistance, and the Skrulls' fearless courage!

The fact that they didn't die on the way is the best proof!

However, due to the deliberate actions of various parties, most of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s major weapons are currently in a state of 'unusable'...

They waited quietly for the final winner to emerge from the three-way battle between Chu Ming, Nick Fury, and Pierce!

PS: Chu Ming, who has a "very good" relationship with both Pierce and Nick Fury, received one-third of the resources for Project Insight (these resources mainly came from the World Security Council). A space carrier that was 60% complete was dismantled by Chu Ming at great cost and moved back to the Asian headquarters for reassembly...

Pierce and Nick Fury, who could not achieve a "one for you, one for me" deal, both concentrated their forces on investigating the remaining two ships of the plan!

Nick Fury only made half the first move, and was one step behind. Now he's driving his space carrier, circling above the headquarters building of the Third Wing!

At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, both sides are playing by the rules and desperately trying to kill each other!

(P.S.: Chu Ming initially tried to interfere with the Third Wing Headquarters and the space carrier, but was directly thwarted by the two of them working together!)

『.......』

"The Great Russian Empire is currently focusing all its efforts on dealing with the once-a-decade invasions of the Arctic by the Polar Bear Emperor, the Emperor Penguin, and the Blue-Armored Crystal Scorpion Emperor..."

"The pharaohs of Africa are recruiting heads; snakes and scorpions roam freely, as always..."

"Oh? I almost forgot! There's also a little snake beauty!"

『........』

The powerful families are still scheming and plotting as always...

However, the Mu family seems to be quite sensible!

Ning Xue now possesses considerable resources beyond power, and commands a mid-to-high-level ice mage archer squad and a melee squad to maintain her reputation...

『........』

Hangzhou!

"Plague...serum...Luo Mian...Zhu Meng...Mo Fan...Snake Shadow?!!"

Is the massacre of the giant serpent about to begin?

..........

After a while.

Chu Ming said, "Don't panic. Let's find a safe place and see what the situation is like. Maybe we won't be able to go to Leifeng Pagoda today."

After saying that, he turned his bike around and rode towards the nearest West Lake.

Besides the panicked passersby along the way, looking into the distance, you can also see... a long, dark cloud!

At this moment, the entire city of Hangzhou seemed to be thrown into a state of panic by this sudden quarantine notice, and an unknown crisis seemed to be quietly enveloping this beautiful city.

Countless people will perish from the demonic invasion caused by the fake serum!
