CHAPTER 386: 296, SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

Eastern City.

Early morning.

"Ding-a-ling~"

The alarm clock rang.

Anthony rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes and reached over to turn off the phone alarm clock beside his pillow.

He gazed at the hotel room ceiling, his eyes filled with confusion.

Where is this place?

Anthony blinked, his mind gradually coming back online, recalling that this wasn’t his hometown Yilete, but the far-off Eastern City.

He sat up from the bed and muttered softly, "I can’t sleep anymore, I must investigate Eastern City today."

This was the board’s requirement.

In three days, he had to present a report to the board, otherwise, he might lose this well-paying job.

Anthony rolled out of bed and walked to the bathroom in slippers.

He stared at himself in the mirror and soon noticed the puffy bags under his eyes and the tiny blood vessels.

He hadn’t slept well last night.

Because the alarm rang twice in the middle of the night.

The first time Anthony heard the "woo-woo" alarm, he was so frightened he jumped out of bed and hid under the table in the corner of the room.

He nervously called the reception desk, and heard the calm voice on the other end: "Sir, a yeti appeared nearby, the officials can resolve the yeti in a minute at most, you can rest assured."

Anthony hung up, wanting to curse.

A yeti appeared near the hotel, yet they still want me to sleep peacefully, are they kidding?

In his hometown Yilete, yetis breaking into homes and killing civilians were frequent occurrences, almost daily someone would die at the hands of a yeti.

Although Yilete’s official statistics show that up to now, more than 2,000 people have been killed by yetis.

But many people don’t believe the numbers released by officials.

Because near Anthony’s home, a terrifying yeti murder happened on a highway.

A large yeti suddenly appeared on this road one evening.

This yeti looked like a bull, with a body length of an astonishing four meters.

The bull-like yeti rampaged on the road, crazily crashing into passing vehicles.

With its massive body and several tons of weight, it could easily send a car flying several meters away.

After the crash, the bull would raise its front hooves and madly trample the overturned car, crushing the passengers inside to death.

Before the army arrived, the bull had already killed at least fifty civilians.

When the bull was killed, Anthony dared to go over and watch the scene, witnessing blood flowing from a crushed car, freezing into blood ice in the cold.

Just one bull yeti could kill so many people, Yilete’s territory exceeds 500,000 square kilometers, how many yetis might be born in such a vast area?

How many yetis appear in cities or villages, how many will they kill?

Thus the official figure of over 2,000 deaths must be false data released to placate the public.

Anthony thought the real number was likely not less than 50,000.

Yilete’s total population currently exceeds 80 million, losing 50,000 is not unusual, even 100,000 is not impossible.

But the hotel reception actually let him sleep securely, what an irresponsible act!

However.

The progression of events afterward took Anthony by surprise.

Just dozens of seconds later, the piercing "woo-woo" alarm sound stopped, and the outside returned to silence.

Feeling strange, he called the front desk again to inquire about the yeti situation.

The reception replied: "Sir, the yeti has been killed by the Great Xia Military."

Anthony was astonished: "That fast?"

Seeing that he didn’t quite believe, the reception said: "You can download an app called ’Great Xia Summer Disaster Forecast’ on your phone, it has a ’Nearby Disaster Real-Time Broadcast’ section to view the official handling details of this event."

Half doubting, Anthony spent over ten minutes fiddling with his phone, downloading the app despite struggling.

The delay was because the download platform was Great Xia Platform, entirely in Great Xia Language, without any foreign language versions.

The Great Xia Summer Disaster Forecast interface was also in Great Xia Language.

Given his Great Xia Language proficiency, using it was quite challenging.

Anthony couldn’t help but mutter: "The Great Xia People are so arrogant, not friendly to foreigners at all."

He could only use translation software, gradually translating and exploring its use.

After some more effort, he finally found the real-time broadcast section the reception mentioned.

According to phone positioning, the system automatically displayed the nearby hotel disasters and the official handling of the yeti.

Anthony clicked and glanced, directly bypassing large blocks of text report and looking at the few dynamic images below.

These were indeed drone-captured footage.

The first dynamic image showed a mass of wriggling snow emerging from a small alley.

This was evidently the yeti.

The yeti wasn’t big, looking like a dog, what they called a "snow dog."

In city areas, snow cats and snow dogs constituted the majority of yetis, the threat wasn’t very significant.

While in the wild, various types of yetis were present.

The second dynamic image showed several drones circling the yeti from all directions.

The drones seemed to be making some significant noise, the snow dog kept its head up watching the drones, not running around attacking civilians.
