Chapter 2098
Thea grabbed James’ arm tightly. At that moment, she simply wished to face the current adversity alongside him. She believed everything would turn out fine in the end.
“Mhm.”
James nodded.
This time, they did not take Winnie along but instead left her with the Callahans. Sol was comparatively peaceful at the moment. As such, leaving her behind in Cansington would be a sound choice. Although they were reluctant to part ways with her, they had no other choice. A day later, James and Thea arrived at Wyrmstead.
At Wyrmstead Palace, James summoned the Celestial Abode and called for the Blithe King, Henry, and Delainey Cabral. Alongside Wyrmstead’s Elite Eight, Blake Davis, Quincy, and the others, the senior authorities of Wyrmstead gathered for a meeting.
Sitting in the main seat, James said with a solemn expression on his face, “I established Wyrmstead to prepare for the Calamity. I thought we’d have a few years to go. I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.”
“Blake, how’s the situation around the world at the moment?”
James asked.
At that moment, he knew nothing about what was going on outside. Blake, as one of the people in charge of Wyrmstead, had a clearer view of what was happening.
Blake stepped forward and said, “The situation is dire. Last night’s rain destroyed crops all around the world. Besides, there’s a terrifying virus in the rain droplets. About eighty percent. of those who came into contact with the rain have contracted the virus.
“Some experienced mild symptoms, whereas others lost their lives. Some died over the of a few short hours. As of now, around fifty million have perished.
“I have to add that this figure is based on conservative estimates. As many regions have yet to report any figures, the situation could be worse than we think. Perhaps one hundred million. may have already died.
“At the moment, the world is in chaos.” Blake said grimly.
