The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant.Despite knowing by now that disinfectant did not affect the virus, it was perhaps for peace of mind that Haevon Airport was still being regularly sanitized.Two groups of people were waiting at the airport. One group, stationed in Haevon from Naturia, was on the phone notifying their homeland, while the other group belonged to the notorious Stealthbane.Stealthbane's men knew that Eric was coming, and both Eric and Stealthbane had arrived in Haevon almost simultaneously.As the plane landed, this once bustling international metropolis, one of the busiest and most prosperous in the world, now felt eerily dead.Who knew how many had perished there?Stepping off the plane, Eric sniffed the air, detecting the pervasive scent of death.Ruth sighed and said, "It seems the situation is far worse than we imagined..."Scanning the area, they saw planes parked at the airport, some of which had started to rust from neglect. This was a clea

After arriving at the temporary command post, Eric and Ruth immediately began their work. There were quite a few international students from Naturia, but many had already been evacuated in the early stages, leaving only about 20 remaining. These students were all holed up in their dormitory, too scared to venture outside.Bryan contacted the university's administration, and someone was soon sent to coordinate.For the staff at Haevon University, the students' departure was a relief. They were already overwhelmed and had no means of dealing with such a virus. Despite Haevon University having a robust medical faculty, they were helpless against this outbreak.The temporary command center was not far from the students' dormitory. Everything was meticulously arranged.Soon, Eric saw the first infected student in the group. His condition was dire, and despite taking various medications, there was no improvement. Another student in the same dormitory also showed signs of infection.Th

Eric was unaware that the world's wealthiest individuals were heading to Haevon.He glanced at Stealthbane and asked, "Are you certain about this information?"Stealthbane nodded. "Absolutely! I know their whereabouts like the back of my hand! I always know where they are!"I just received word that several prominent tycoons have already arrived in Haevon. I don't think they're here for sightseeing. We need to grab one or two of them for questioning."A plan was already forming in Eric's mind. There was no need to waste time investigating why the tycoons were in Haevon. Capturing one and interrogating them would suffice.Eric found the situation peculiar. Globally, Haevon was one of the most dangerous places, and the wealthy were notoriously cautious about their lives. Why would they risk coming to Haevon?It made no sense.Eric called out. "Ruth, get in touch with Big Boss and find out if any of our domestic tycoons are headed this way. This whole situation seems odd."Ruth qu

Stealthbane didn't know the answer to the question.He scratched his head and said, "If you want to find out where the Ark is, it's simple! I'll send someone to investigate immediately! It must be in Haevon!"He dispatched his team.Haevon had numerous waterways, and if the Ark was meant to accommodate a large number of people, it had to be enormous—at least bigger than a cruise ship.To Stealthbane, the so-called Ark should be a ship. If they could lock down the waterways of Haevon, they would certainly find it.He wasted no time and got to work.Eric wasn't particularly concerned about the Ark. Moreover, the so-called Ark didn't necessarily have to be a ship. The two tycoons had come to Haevon seeking refuge, which implied that the Ark might be a sanctuary.Currently, Eric was more concerned about when the foreign students at Haevon University could return to Naturia. They would have to wait until they had fully recovered.-That night, Eric called Sylvia. Due to the time di

Stealthbane sat down and said, "Let's get straight to the point. I believe that someone of your status, St. Pius, wouldn't stoop to collaborating with certain individuals. Regarding the virus that has erupted from Haevon and swept across the globe, I think you might have some clues."I've come today to see if we can reach some sort of cooperation, to restore the light that this world deserves."Some people committed evil all their lives, but a single sentence could elevate their entire perspective and life. That was precisely what Stealthbane aimed to do.Evidently, St. Pius understood Stealthbane's nature. Hearing him talk about restoring the world's light astonished St. Pius.How could such words come from a man with bloodstained hands?St. Pius glanced at Stealthbane and laughed. "The Holy Templar has eight great protectors and countless followers. What do you have, Stealthbane?"St. Pius's arrogance was evident, especially in the current environment, making him even more haug
