Chapter 299 Barrier to All Things
System Log Update —
Date: 2024.7.30

The largest black tide in Jingzhou's history ended completely at 8:26 a.m. today.
Affected areas: the entire Jingzhou area, and parts of Xizhou.
The National Disaster Prevention and Control Headquarters was activated immediately and, on July 29, connected with domestic and international information exchange networks to issue a red alert, informing all friendly nations that a new calamity (now named Divine Retribution) was born on July 28, 2024, at the Qingshui Weapon Depot.
Fusion Trait: Nuclear Weapon – “Lingxiao”
Information provided: Preliminary information indicates that "Divine Retribution" possesses unknown abilities that can render all thermal weapons ineffective, and any creature that comes into contact with it will experience complete decay within a short period (for details, please refer to nuclear radiation).
Testing confirmed that its capability is a new type of ray—UNK (already included in the science map).
Harmfulness: "Divine Retribution" uses its unique "summoning" nature to drive all the mutant species in Jingzhou to gather towards it, ultimately leading to the large-scale Kuroshio "Disaster Moon".
According to the Survivor Management Department, the death toll caused by "Disaster Moon" has exceeded 100,000, and the exact number is unknown. A total of 32 shelters, including the Moon City Survival Base, have been confirmed to have been destroyed.
At the same time, the Kuroshio Current has damaged countless resources, destroyed cities and transportation, and caused enormous losses to our country.
Based on this data, the "Disaster Month" is defined as the largest and most dangerous black tide in human history since the end of the world.
At 9:00 AM this morning, the frontline monitoring unit reported that the calamity "Divine Retribution" had reached its peak after engulfing the Black Tide and had left the armory.
Based on frontline battle reports and comparisons of data provided by various countries, it has been confirmed that "Divine Retribution" is the most powerful scarlet calamity in history.
At 1:00 PM today, Dream City has entered full combat defense mode and summoned all survivors who were stranded outside to enter the base.
The command center sent the latest update: "Heavenly Retribution" is heading towards our border area. We hope to join hands with other countries to fight the disaster together.
This should serve as a warning to the world.

[The following is encrypted information:]
Hello to the survivors who see this message. Now, I will break my professional regulations and leave my words of wisdom in the history books to warn future generations.
The consequences of the "Disaster Month" are still fresh in our minds. Although Dream City was spared, the events of the past few days still hang like a sword over our heads.
"Divine Retribution" may be the most powerful crimson calamity in human history, and with our current strength, it is simply impossible for us to defeat it.
Perhaps, just like its name suggests, it is a divine punishment sent down by heaven upon humankind.
As a recorder of history, no one knows the current state of humanity better than I do. Perhaps tomorrow, this log will never be updated again.
If one day this country truly perishes, I hope that the survivors who are still alive can find this place and continue to live on, carrying the flame of civilization.
As long as there are still people around, we haven't failed.
Let us not forget human civilization, let us not forget our resistance.
Remember, humanity has never bowed its head.
Never meekly go into the night.

A giant firebird burst from the armory and landed far behind the army.
The firebird shattered the moment it hit the ground, flames soared, and the woman with black hair and golden eyes walked on the fire, her clothes fluttering behind her. A tall man with green eyes stood beside her, like a protector.
"Ayin, thank goodness you're out." Ling came to her side immediately.
She always kept her word, guarding the outside of the underground passage, and didn't leave even when the armory inexplicably started shaking.
It was a promise; she would guard a path for her to escape.
Unexpectedly, neither Miao Yin nor Tu Hao were among those who came out.
Fu Simian died shortly after she came out, and her body decomposed into water at a visible speed. They were forced to leave the area where the body was to prevent being infected by the toxins.
This made Ling even more worried about the situation inside, but since the curse had not disappeared, she thought that with Miao Yin's strength, she should be safe.
Next came the entire collapsed weapons depot.
Miao Yin: "There was a slight mishap, and we weren't able to kill it inside successfully."
However, everything was as expected.
"What happened?" Peng Si came to her side, his anxiety clearly visible.
According to the prophecy that was already known, this mutant would trigger a black tide in Mirror State and destroy the base.
Even without the Black Tide, a single Crimson Catastrophe born locally would be enough to give them a run for their money.
"As you can see, I wasn't trapped. It was just a few moves, and now I'm like this," Miao Yin said helplessly, her disheveled appearance genuine.
Peng Si closed his eyes tightly, his expression extremely solemn: "Until I see it with my own eyes, I really can't imagine what this armory would look like when it collapses."
That's one of the best defensive capabilities in the world!
He said, "I'll contact Dream City right now and tell them what's going on here."
“You can’t get in touch with him,” Miao Yin interrupted him.
"what?"
Miao Yin chuckled softly, her expression unreadable to him: "Yao Yue, what do you say?"
Only then did they look at the most taciturn superhuman in the group.
When Miao Yin revealed her identity, she was told that she was a person with spatial abilities, but Peng Si knew that this was just a lie.
Therefore, not long ago, he happened to inquire about her true superpowers.
The Barrier of All Things is a seemingly special ability, but it can only block energy and cannot stop normal objects, which greatly reduces the practicality of this ability.
No one knows why she was brought here.
Yao Yue took a deep breath: "My superpower was triggered, and it hasn't stopped."
She had only subconsciously released the barrier, but she hadn't expected it to actually stop something. Now she didn't dare to stop using her powers at all.
Miao Yin: "You can call it—UNK ray."
"What is that?" Peng Si had never heard of this kind of ray before.
"A new type of ray that has never appeared on Earth before, you can think of it as... distorted nuclear radiation."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, even Tu Hao cast an incredulous glance at him.
"This kind of radiation is different from the nuclear radiation you know. It can not only kill people, but also disable all thermal weapons, including all electronic devices."
Therefore, anything that didn't get inside Yao Yue's barrier is now useless.
Tu Hao finally understood why Miao Yin had said those bombs wouldn't explode in the armory.
She casually revealed the truth, then tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What, didn't Old Master Lu tell you? I warned him a long time ago."
Peng Si opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He was clearly unaware of the matter concerning the ray.
When Elder Lu issued the order prohibiting them from carrying too many weapons, he had inquired about the reason.
The old man simply told him that it was a mutant human fused with weapons, and that the guns and ammunition in their hands were essentially part of the mutant human's body and could not cause any damage.
Rather than bringing them here and wasting their time, it's better to leave them at the base.
But...radiation?
The radiation detector in his equipment flashed through his mind.
He had always thought that it was prepared for "Lingxiao" at the very bottom of the armory.
"It's not important. With Yao Yue here, as long as you don't go beyond her barrier, nothing will happen," Miao Yin said considerately.
In his previous life, when divine retribution raged, Gong Jingming, as the most powerful summoner in Dream City, naturally went to the front lines.
And Yao Yue was always by his side.
How do they resist radiation?
The answer is obvious.
Otherwise, Yao Yue would have been dead long ago, just like her teammates, and would never be standing here unharmed like this.
She put a lot of effort into raising her.
"Then how come you're all alright?" Peng Si asked, puzzled.
Miao Yin and Tu Hao were exposed to the radiation burst at close range, yet they act as if nothing happened.
“My flames can burn everything,” she said.
Therefore, when the fire enveloped the two of them, the rays could not harm them at all.
But Muyin couldn't protect them with flames forever.
"Now, I want you to do one thing well."
She raised her hand and pointed to the perimeter of the armory: "You can't stop the Scarlet Catastrophe, but those mutants it lured here are up to you. You absolutely cannot let them end up in the mouth of the Divine Retribution."
“Yao Yue, I know you can now set up a protective shield for ten hours on your own. I want you to use it on the three of us. I'll leave this to you.”
Yao Yue nodded quickly: "I understand."
Three separate barriers of all things enveloped the three of them, and Miao Yin's gaze returned to the mutated man.
The sonic wave that summoned its kind had ended, and the mutants, who had never seen the light of day, were now staring fascinated at the red sun in the sky.
"I've never... seen one before..."
The Crimson Calamity has the intelligence closest to that of an adult human; they are cunning and treacherous, and possess the greatest strength.
However, they lack human memories, so many deformed people who are trapped in the buildings from birth have no idea that there is another world outside unless they encounter a stimulus or coincidence.
The frog at the bottom of the well is the best example.
Everything it just did was purely out of instinct.
Now, tens of thousands of mutants are heading here.
According to its original trajectory, Divine Retribution would devour all its kind, becoming the most powerful Crimson Catastrophe.
If Miu wants to kill it, it must be before its final evolution.
Otherwise, there would be no way to kill it in this world.
They stepped out of Yao Yue's barrier, and the rampant UNK rays were effectively blocked outside the protective shield.
"Remember, this is our only chance to kill him. If we miss it, he will hunt us down to death."
"So Ling, no matter what, you can't let it leave here."
Miao Yin stood in front of her, her black hair tied up high, her tone more serious than ever before.
The white-haired woman assured her firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect it."
"Forced buying and selling, a pirate ship." Tu Hao twisted his newly healed shoulder, but his eyes burned with fighting spirit.
See you in ten hours.
