3 Chapter 3: The First Day of Chaos

The dark matter at the edge of the membrane spread across the entire solar system almost instantly.

Including above Earth, everything was enveloped by this unobservable dark matter.

Unlike where Du Gang was located in Nanyuan City where it was noon, it was night time in Telang City across the big ocean.

One could say that at this moment, on Blue Planet, wherever the sun was not shining, several meter-sized spatial channels started appearing one after another.

From these channels, creature after creature that were three to four meters in length and half a meter tall, looking like "cockroaches", continuously poured onto the Blue Planet.

"Oh, my God, what is that?"

"That's disgusting..."

In Telang City, a group of night owls wandering the streets were suddenly startled by the appearance of the "cockroach".

When the "cockroach" noticed this group of people, instead of running away, it pounced at them like a shark smelling blood.

With a swiftness, the roach that was originally four or five meters away from the crowd suddenly jumped to few people.

With a crunch, a man's arm, lifted subconsciously, was bitten straight off, and blood spurted out.

"Ahh~~~"

A desolate howl reached everyone's ears.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

The group of friends were horrified by the scene and couldn't help letting out expletives.

They had no realization, in the night, how far their screaming and shouting could carry.

The "cockroaches" wandering around nearly heard these sounds, and like Husky dogs unleashed in the snow, they joyously ran towards the source of the noise.

On this side, before the man missing an arm could yell for another second, the "cockroach" bit his head off in a flash.

"Fu…fu…"

These peaceful times people had never witnessed such brutality, each person was petrified.

Who would dare to help, two of the more timid people, fell flat on their backsides with a milky white viscous substance immediately flowing out from under them.

The only brave one left, flailed his arms and legs and ran off into the distance.

The "cockroach" that had bitten their peer to death paid no attention to the two people collapsed on the ground and the one that had run off. It began to feast right there, crunching and chewing rapidly, in just four or five seconds, it had swallowed the upper half body of their mate.

"Li...fu..." The two people were so frightened that they couldn't even speak clear sentences, they were reduced to incoherent mumbling.

"Ahh~~~"

Just as the two of them had mustered enough strength to crawl away, the screams of their teammate who had run away was heard in the far off distance.

At that moment, a terrifying and hopeless scene appeared before their eyes.

Countless "cockroaches", similar to the three to four-metre tall and half-metre high one in front of them, were now swarming toward them like a flood.

"Fuck!"

The pair had time only for one final expletive before they were engulfed by the swarm of "cockroaches". They didn't even last a second before they completely disappeared.

This scenario wasn't just happening in Telang City, but in all the places without sunlight, in all the places where spatial channels had appeared!

...

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

At this moment, the highest military alarms in all countries in the eastern hemisphere were sounding almost simultaneously.

"Dark matter has filled the entire solar system, including Earth. Multiple spatial channels, several meters in size, have appeared in the entire Western Hemisphere, and countless monsters from another world have come to our world ..."

"These monsters from another world have exhibited strong bloodthirstiness, almost all humans they encounter become their food ..."

"According to global satellite data analysis, these interdimensional spaces appear in places untouched by sun rays and are continuously shifting eastwards ..."

Yang Xiaotian frowned, asking quickly, "You mean, when it gets dark, these spatial channels will open and these monsters will appear?"

"Yes!"

"How much time do we have before sunset in Hua Nation?"

"Hua Nation spans five time zones, the earliest sunset is in four hours ..."

Without any hesitation, Yang Xiaotian immediately said, "Inform everyone, do not hide it, let all the citizens stay at home, do not run around, lock their doors and windows... this situation, can't be hidden!"

At this time, a representative of the think tank came forward quickly, "On our Blue Planet, there are two areas with extreme day and night, the current Arctic Circle is in a state of extreme day, please head to the Arctic Circle to direct ..."

"Remote command?"

Yang Xiaotian was somewhat angry, "The entire world is ending, what am I doing in the Arctic Circle?"

However, he quickly calmed down after snapping, continuing, "Notify those civilians and scientists to retreat, head towards the Arctic Circle!"

"Commander, what about you?"

"I'll stay here, you are in charge of leading the scientists, prioritize their evacuation!"

...

On this day, news was flying all over.

What happened in the Western Hemisphere, the news didn't even need to be announced officially. The organizations that share satellite information among the public had already spread the news across the globe.

The military's conjecture was also spread instantly.

Those in the upper class were using all their resources, those with private planes took those to flee, those without were willing to pay the highest prices for the cheapest seats, all just for a ticket to fly towards the high latitudes.

On this day, planes all over the country were filled to capacity in the shortest time and took off in the shortest time. All aircraft forgot about their usual routes and flew directly north.

In addition to this, the same situation was happening with ferries, motor boats, and all sea transport.

However, compared to the planes available everywhere, only a portion of people residing in the coastal cities were able to board a ship and flee.

Most people, however, lost their bearings and only wanted to flee to the north. No matter whether the congested highways were passable, they determinedly took to their cars and fled.

If these people did some calculations, they would know that even in congested conditions, four or five hours would not be enough for them to leave their provinces, much less flee to the Arctic Circle.

On this day, all programs were stopped and on television, only the repeated broadcast of a news anchor telling everyone to stay at home.
