LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 579: Chapter 542 Researcher’s Diary Chapter 579: Chapter 542 Researcher’s Diary After flipping open the notebook and seeing its contents, Rocky realized that it was actually a journal!

Era 1018, May 12th.

“The demons have been in the city for a month now, Kasin City is done for, only we are still alive…”

Upon reading the first two sentences of the journal, Rocky’s brow furrowed tightly, it was clear that the journal was written after the demons entered the city, to be precise, a month after the city had been occupied, and what exactly had happened in Kasin City during this time was exactly what Rocky wanted to find out, so he hurriedly continued reading the notebook.

“I always thought I was lucky, being inside this research institute when the demons invaded the city, and that’s why I managed to escape disaster, but now I find that things are not as simple as I thought because I’ve seen almost all the researchers here, and the defensive power of this place is so strong it’s obvious that it was set up in advance, which is simply unbelievable.”

“According to my original thoughts, it was purely by chance that I was in the research institute due to work when the demons invaded, but now it seems that is not the case, it seems the director had anticipated some outcome and therefore gathered all of us in the institute in advance, and what’s more important is that even though the entire city is now occupied by demons, our research is still continuing.”

“This gives me a very bad feeling, so I want to record all this, I want to figure out what exactly happened here.”

The first entry in the journal ends here.

After reading the content of the first entry, Rocky couldn’t help but take a deep breath, because through this entry, he discovered that what happened in Kasin City seemed to be different from what he had imagined?

Judging from the content written in the journal, this lone remaining building should have been a research institute back then, and it indeed was the city’s final stronghold after the fall. But from the fragments in the journal, it seems there was more to the story?

What exactly had happened in Kasin City back then?

With these thoughts, Rocky immediately turned the page to look at the content that followed.

Era 1018, May 22nd, recorded 10 days after the previous entry.

“The research is still continuing, it has become our last hope, if it is successful, we might still be able to survive, but if it fails…”

“I have been considering the matter I mentioned last time for the past few days, and various signs indicate that the City Lord knew the city was undefendable before the demons occupied it, but why didn’t he allow everyone to evacuate in time?”

“Is it because he had already given up? Maybe, because from the current outcome, even if we had evacuated the city earlier, we would still not be able to escape the demons’ pursuit. Kasin City had a population of several hundred thousand, it’s impossible for so many people to escape from the demons, everyone is bound to die.”

“But this inevitably made me think of another question, why did His Majesty the King also refuse to leave?”

“As everyone knows, His Majesty the King gave up the chance to lead the royal family into Sky City, deciding instead to stay on land with everyone to resist the demons. When I first heard the news, I was extremely excited, even under the illusion that under the King’s leadership we could withstand the demons, turning Wanzhong Kingdom into the last sanctity of land, but now it seems that thought was too naive.”

“Did the King stay on land really out of loyalty to the people and belief in the land? I thought so, but now it seems that is not the case, so why did the King choose to stay?”

“The answer to this question might be related to the research we’re currently conducting,”

“If you think about it, there indeed exists such a possibility, because if our research really succeeds, it could indeed become an important force to counter the Demons, perhaps even a decisive one, but…”

The content of the second diary ended here.

When Rocky finished reading the second diary entry, he couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath, because not only was this entry longer than the first, its contents were even more astonishing.

To a certain extent, this diary entry explained the doubts left by the first, namely how these researchers were able to survive.

The researcher who wrote this diary initially thought he was just lucky to have stayed in a research institute with defensive power, hence escaping disaster. However, he quickly realized that things were not that simple, their survival was clearly prearranged, and this arrangement even involved the King of the Wanzhong Kingdom, the very King who had not ascended to Sky City!

And all these answers were closely related to the research being conducted at the institute.

As mentioned in the first diary entry, the people in the institute were continuing their research, and although the second diary entry did not specify the project and content of the research, it mentioned more than once that if the research succeeded, everyone could survive and even believed that once the research was successful, it could become an important power to resist the Demons. To Rocky, this seemed utterly unimaginable.

Kasin City, no, what research was the Wanzhong Kingdom conducting to instill such confidence in the personnel in charge of the research?

Keep in mind that when Sky City was invented, people didn’t delude themselves into thinking they could rely on it to resist the Demons’ invasion!

With intense doubts and curiosity, Rocky couldn’t wait to turn to the next diary entry.

“Era 1018, June 30th, recorded a month after the previous diary entry.”

“I no longer consider why I was able to survive, because I realized this question is meaningless for me, no, it’s meaningless for all of us who have survived. The only thing that matters now is to complete the research as soon as possible!”

“For this, all of us have worked day and night for over a month and have made contact with other cities’ research institutes. After obtaining their research findings, it shouldn’t take much longer to complete our work. However, we are now facing a problem, we’ve run out of supplies.”

“Since the city was occupied by the Demons, we’ve lost our supply. Although the director was clearly prepared for this, having stockpiled a great deal of resources within the institute earlier, but as the research continues and time passes, the resources have been exhausted. Managing life’s necessities is still okay—we can skimp a little—but we’re almost out of resources for the institute’s use, and that’s the most troubling!”

“Now, as the research is on the verge of completion, if we don’t get supplies and the whole project comes to a halt, wouldn’t all our efforts be in vain?”

“But fortunately, the director said that His Majesty has borrowed several of the latest skyships from the Kafka Empire, supposedly a kind of warship that can fly in the sky, and will use this new invention to deliver supplies to us, so the director urged everyone not to worry.”

“Flying warships, it sounds simply unbelievable. Of course, if even cities can fly, then it seems there’s nothing too surprising about ships flying in the sky. However, don’t think they are the only ones with new inventions. As soon as our research is successful, people will be just as speechless at our own inventions!”
