Chapter 1740 - 895: West Sea Grand Stage, Dare to Come

"The news has already arrived from Gray Port, Seven Cities are at their wits' end and not worth worrying about. Once East City makes their move, everything will turn out fine..."

"Indeed, indeed."

"The president's foresight is remarkable. Did he already establish contact with East City in advance?"

"West Shore is gone, but in my opinion, it's a good thing. Doesn't the remaining market mean we can just divide it among ourselves..."

The elevator door in the underground parking lot opened, and many high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce in suits and ties stepped out, chatting and sharing news from their respective channels.

After an emergency meeting and a consensus decision, the people, who had been shaken and unsettled by the attack on West Shore, regained their composure.

The Shunchang Chamber of Commerce, which held a significant amount of the Federation's military resources, has already voted to double down on Gray Port and go head-to-head with those guys from Seven Cities!

"Everything has been arranged, we'll just ship out the goods, and Gray Port and Sea Abyss Corner will accept them in full!"

"Great news!"

Just before shaking hands and parting ways, the news that had just been conveyed brought smiles to everyone's faces, and they walked with light steps. Even after getting into the car, the smiles didn't fade.

"Let's go, to the airport, I need to immediately..."

With a screeching sound, just at the moment of engine ignition, an ear-splitting roar erupted from the underground garage, with Fierce Flame gushing out, and countless fragments flew out, completely engulfing the nearby cars.

Iron shells, debris, bloody water, and shattered pieces of corpses erupted like torrential rain, splattering onto those bewildered, shocked faces.

Explosion!

"There's a bomb!!!" Screams erupted, and before others could react, someone instinctively dove into a car: "Quick..."

Boom!!!!

The second loud explosion detonated, like triggering a chain of destruction, the massive building shook violently, and the roars in the parking lot erupted one after another, causing the people who hadn't had a chance to scatter to retreat in panic, frantically pounding the elevator buttons.

Ding—

With a crisp sound, light from behind the elevator doors leaked out, causing the person at the front to pause, suddenly vigilant: "Wait, take the stairs..."

Boom!!!!

On the fifth day of the Desert Market election, at 1:12 PM, following West Shore, the Shunchang Chamber of Commerce executives were completely annihilated.

At the same time, due to an accident with a private Flying Airship, the CEO of Wan Hui Trading Company died.

Fifteen minutes later, the first heir died in a car accident, and fifteen minutes after that, the second president, voted to succeed as CEO during a virtual board meeting, encountered an accident, dying from an electrical socket mishap.

Half an hour later, during another emergency virtual meeting, the remaining seven board members unanimously voted for bankruptcy. By 2:30 PM that afternoon, Wan Hui canceled all unfinished orders, compensated fully, and officially withdrew from the market.

At 3:00 PM, an explosion occurred at the Three-finger Mountain Desert Market branch. At 3:15 PM, a large-scale food poisoning incident emerged collectively on the Six Islands, with over thirty-six people failing to reach care and dying.

At 3:17 PM, the Reef Gate Desert Market branch publicly accused Seven Cities on the Desert Market platform of assassinating its upper management. At 3:20 PM, the assassination succeeded, but due to incomplete follow-up evidence presentation, the accusation was automatically withdrawn the next day.

At 4:00 PM, sixteen fleet teams under the Gray Port Trade Association collectively went astray, and under significant safety incidents, over six cargo ships accidentally struck reefs, while the remaining ships faced continuous safety failures, rendering normal operation impossible...

At 4:15 PM, an explosion occurred at Rot Swamp Pier.

At 4:20 PM, a major safety leak occurred at Sea Abyss Corner's chemical plant.

At 4:25 PM, a leak was detected at the Gray Port Fuel Storage Base, triggering an alarm. At 4:30 PM, a localized explosion occurred, and the fire was brought under control. Sixteen charred bodies were found at the scene, currently unidentified.

Throughout the day, Desert Market's intelligence platform, the West Sea Plate, seemed to experience a deluge of bad news.

Explosions, bones, death, explosion, explosion, death, disappearance, poisoning... like the dawn of disaster favored by the gods of plague, marked red latest news and marked black massive deaths interspersed repeatedly, so much so that even the clerks responsible for compiling information in the assembly began foaming at the mouth, with eye drop consumption reaching the annual high.

Simultaneously, attacks targeting Seven Cities began escalating excessively, and under almost exaggerated bounties, it's unknown how many were stirred into action, starting to target Ling Shuo's head.

At 2:16 PM, a new cruise docked, with many tourists in colorful outfits wearing sunglasses stepping onto Luo Island, bustling with activity.

The pier hall was orderly despite the throng of people, with the big screen continuously broadcasting meticulously crafted promotional videos.

Arriving passengers lined up orderly for security checks, and under the guidance of guide cats, they independently went to the parking lot to catch sightseeing buses or taxis.

Yet, as the crowd slowly moved forward, dispersing, the last passenger after turning a corner, finally sensed something amiss.

Suddenly, it became quiet!

No idea when, but there were no other people around, only oneself remained.

The entrance gate behind slowly closed, and as the illusion dissipated, the air bridge fell into a dead silence.

Afternoon sunlight slanted through the windows outside, leaving sharply defined shadows on the ground, while tiny Dust particles danced, rising, and falling.

The seemingly unremarkable, ordinary traveler instinctively took a step back.

Saw the young man sitting at the end of the air bridge.
