Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 870 - 864: Escape from Immortal Island (Part 1)

Crunch! Crunch!

On Penglai Immortal Island, hard ice was forming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Grass, trees, rocks, and rivers were all coated in a layer of ice, and the temperature across the whole island dropped sharply, the cold penetrating deep into the bone.

Imagine that with Qin Yang's strength, he nearly froze to death over the Ice Lake, so the dispersed cold, while not completely comparable to the cold above the Ice Lake, was still extraordinarily powerful.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In the mountains and forests, with the diffusion of the cold air, figures darted towards the exit of the Void Rift leading to Earth in a race for survival.

At this moment, all the Ancient Martial Artists from Huaxia, Western Werewolves, Superpower Users, and other strong figures from the United States, the European Union, the African Union, and various countries were sweeping through the forest at the fastest speed.

Behind them, the giant wave of cold air spread at an alarming rate.

Several Superpower Users with slightly weaker abilities were directly frozen by the cold, turned into ice statues.

On the Immortal Island, some Demon Beasts skilled at burrowing had dug deep tunnels and entered hibernation, but many more were directly frozen to death.

Screech, screech, screech...

In mid-air, the Bloodthirsty Vultures that once dominated the Immortal Island emitted weak cries as the pervasive cold swept over their blood-red feathers, instantly forming a layer of frost, which quickly turned into ice.

Thud! Thud!

One by one, the Bloodthirsty Vultures fell from the sky, soon frozen into ice sculptures, just like other airborne demon beasts.

Apart from the beasts, on the Immortal Island, one tree after another that was once evergreen and towering were brushed by the spreading cold air; ice attached to them, as each tree stood like ice sculptures, pure and crystalline.

With the pervasive cold air expanding, two-thirds of the island's rocks and trees were already frozen.

In the frozen area, except for those Demon Beasts that had burrowed deeply and entered hibernation, there was hardly any living thing.

At this moment, even the remaining third of the Immortal Island rapidly had Bai Shuang attaching, the cold threatening.

As humans on Penglai Immortal Island scrambled like fugitives towards the exit of the Void Rift leading to Earth...

At this time, on Earth, since those human strong figures entered Penglai Immortal Island, half a month had passed.

At noon, on the East Sea Surface.

The sunlight was perfect, casting over the sparkling sea surface, where fish frolicked cheerfully in the water, keeping the area lively as ever.

Warships and research vessels from various countries remained moored on the surface, and their numbers had only increased.

The large and small vessels were already numbering three or four hundred, resting on the sea surface beneath the Void Rift, presenting a grand sight.

However, due to the unclear situation within the Void Rift and the potential for alarming information for humanity, governments around the world were still focused on sealing it off.

Thus, over these fifteen days, governments worldwide have worked together, completely sealing off information from this sea area.

With deliberate guidance from governments and news media, public focus shifted rapidly.

As for the previously emerging information about this sea surface, some so-called renowned experts explained away the details, and whether the public understood didn't matter; what mattered was their belief the explanation was correct, giving a rationale sufficed.

In truth, human nature is forgetful and intrigued by novelty, and a few new celebrity scandals or other news could swiftly redirect attention.

Thus, during these two weeks, despite continuing discussions on the Void Rift above the East Sea, public focus was no longer there.

As for the greening trees in Huaxia, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia, people remained curious, but with explanations by various experts, it had become a familiar peculiarity.

On a large U.S. research ship closest to the Void Rift on the sea surface.

The gray-haired Dr. Joseph and two assistants stood before a high-definition telescope on the deck, observing changes in the Void Rift, surrounded by computers, notebooks, etc., constantly recording the Rift's changes.

Behind Dr. Joseph, the commander of the Hawaii naval military base, four-star General Chas, was approaching Dr. Joseph,

Beside General Chas were four captains, carrying trays and wine.

"Dr. Joseph, it's lunchtime. You and your assistants should take a break and have lunch."

General Chas said.

"I'm not hungry, General Chas."

Dr. Joseph waved off, saying.

At the words, General Chas wasn't surprised. For these science fanatics devoted to research, once invested in their projects, they truly might neglect food and sleep.

"Dr. Joseph, you should rest for a while, even if you're not hungry, your assistants might need some food."

General Chas said.

"Oh, alright, I must say, General, you make a good point."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Joseph had no choice but to nod.

Next to General Chas, the four captains set down the trays and wine on a nearby dining table.

Only then did Dr. Joseph and his two assistants pause their work and move over, and General Chas sat down as well.

"The S-Class superpower troops entered the Void Rift; today is the fifteenth day."

Dr. Joseph said, mouth full of food, raising his head to glance at the Rift.

"Hmm, yes, it's been half a month."

General Chas nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

No one knew the situation within the Void Rift. This time, the S-Class superpower troops entering the Rift were the strongest superpower troops in the United States.

This troop is usually deployed for special tasks, such as striking against superpower crime or infiltrating other countries for secrets, and should anything go wrong, it would be a massive loss for the United States.

"General Chas, don't worry too much. They are our country's strongest warriors; they should be alright."

Dr. Joseph, seeming to notice General Chas's worry, said promptly.

"Indeed, Dr. Joseph, those Ancient Martial Artists from Huaxia definitely understood the Void Rift before they went in, and our country's best warriors will certainly be fine."

A gleam flashed in General Chas's eyes, and he nodded, saying.

"Dr. Joseph, let's hope our brave superpower warriors return safely and bring back the research data and specimens from the Void Rift you need."

General Chas raised his wine glass, looking at Dr. Joseph.

"Indeed, General Chas, let's wish them a safe return."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Joseph raised his wine glass as well, saying.

Clink!

Just as the two clinked their glasses, the sound of the glasses rang out simultaneously, and suddenly, turbulence appeared within the Void Rift.
