The next day, a young woman arrived at the hotel with Rhodes Island's temporary residency permit.
Anto again received her. After their conversation, the woman didn't leave far but instead entered a security booth nearby.
After she left, Anto waved the temporary residency permit in her hand.
"We have permission to reside here for no more than one month, unless special circumstances arise. Furthermore, the open space we requested has already been placed on a temporary proposal, and I believe we will receive a result soon."
"The young lady's name is Tatyana. She said she is a member of the Wolumonde Militia and is the liaison arranged by the Military Police Captain for us."
"Wow, a liaison! Our treatment seems extraordinary!" Kanna took the temporary residency permit from Anto, looked at it, and then handed it to Weedy, who was equally curious. She remarked that this was the first time she had used this item after so many external missions since coming to Rhodes Island.
"This might be the trust Rhodes Island has built over so many years of treating illnesses. After all, there are many Infected living in Wolumonde, and with the current sensitive period, our presence can effectively reduce unrest caused by oripathy among the Infected, which is beneficial for the Military Police Captain's control over the city."
Folinic had been to many places with Kaltsit, and the upper echelons everywhere were always self-serving. If these high-ranking officials suddenly treated you exceptionally well, then regardless of your own class, you were certainly needed by them in some aspect.
And at this time, the Rhodes Island "Patrol Medical Squad" that had arrived in Wolumonde, whether or not the city encountered a Calamity, was an organization that could stabilize the morale of the Infected and make the city more harmonious.
That's why Captain Sefrin treated them specially and even assigned a dedicated liaison.
As the few of them were chatting, Kanna suddenly felt a suffocating pressure from outside and quickly ran out.
Nian, who was nearby, also sensed that something was wrong outside and followed Kanna out.
The others, seeing Kanna's sudden change of expression from laughing a second ago to rushing outside, also put down what they were doing and followed her.
Before they even left the room, everyone saw that the sky, which should have been sunny, had turned pitch black.
The low-hanging clouds were like a basin of ink had been spilled over them, completely obscuring everything.
The unusual weather naturally caught the attention of the people on the streets, but since Wolumonde hadn't encountered a Calamity after setting up camp there, many still hadn't realized what was happening even as the black clouds were about to loom overhead.
"Anto, go inform Sephyrin that Wolumonde is about to be hit by a Calamity. Tell him to immediately order an emergency evacuation of the entire city. Folinic, Rope, you two drive our vehicle to the passage entrance. Once the emergency passage opens, drive the vehicle in. It contains most of our emergency medicine and absolutely cannot be lost. Everyone else, immediately put on your full gear and prepare to resist the Calamity!"
At this moment, facing the impending Calamity, Kanna quickly gave orders to her squad members.
The Operators, who had just been flustered, confused, and at a loss due to the sudden Calamity, quickly followed Kanna's orders as if they had regained their backbone.
"Not bad. No wonder Kaltsit allowed you to be a captain. Your composure and quick reactions in a crisis are indeed excellent."
Facing the situation of "black clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it," only Nian, who was also a "god," still had the presence of mind to chat with Kanna.
"Am I very handsome!" Hearing Nian's praise, Kanna instantly jumped out of the serious atmosphere and reverted to her usual lively self.
"I'll give you a hundred points! Don't be afraid to be proud!" Nian gave a thumbs-up and then continued to look up at the sky.
Not far away, Tatyana had just sat down in the security booth when she suddenly heard exclamations from outside. Just as she was about to see what had caused an entire street of people to start shouting, the door was burst open by a frantic Anto.
"Immediately contact Captain Sefirin! The Calamity is about to arrive! Wolumonde must act now, or it will be directly hit by the Calamity!" After entering the room, Anto immediately shouted at a still bewildered Tatyana.
Hearing Anto's words, Tatyana was momentarily stunned. She hadn't noticed anything when she came in, so how could a Calamity suddenly be coming?
"Miss, why do you say a Calamity is coming? Can you take responsibility for your words?" A young man nearby quickly reacted, looking at Anto with a serious expression.
Anto pointed to the sky outside. "Come out and see for yourselves. The sky above us has already started to darken rapidly. According to Rhodes Island's records of Calamities, this is the initial stage of a Calamity. Once the sky is completely black and the Originium concentration in the air begins to rise, it will be too late for Wolumonde to escape!"
After hearing Anto's words, the young man immediately rushed out of the room. He looked up at the sky, and sure enough, half of the sky, which had just been clear blue with white clouds, was now covered by dark clouds, and the dark clouds were spreading rapidly.
"We at Rhodes Island are a professional organization for dealing with oripathy, so we naturally have a lot of understanding of Calamities that can cause widespread disaster and oripathy infection. Furthermore, we have a very deep cooperation with the Calamity Messenger. You must believe me; Wolumonde must act immediately, or everything will be over."
Just as the young man was still shocked by the unusual weather above, Anto's voice came from behind her.
"Tatyana, you stay here with this young lady from Rhodes Island. I'm going to find my father immediately!" After being startled out of his shock by Anto's words, the young man immediately told Tatyana in the room and then ran towards the City Hall in the city center.
"Who was that?" Anto looked at the rapidly departing young man, then at Tatyana. Anyone with eyes could see that Tatyana and the young man had an unusual relationship.
"Thorwald, the captain of Wolumonde's militia, and also Captain Sefrin's only son..." Tatyana did not explain her relationship with him but directly stated his identity.
She had been worried that if someone of insufficient standing went to give a warning, they might be ignored, but if it was the son of Wolumonde's highest-ranking officer, then it should be stable.
At this moment, inside the City Hall, Sephyrin was still troubled by a large number of matters that needed to be handled. He suddenly heard exclamations from outside.
He frowned and walked out, intending to criticize his easily startled subordinates, but was surprised to find that although it was morning, the sky was pitch black.
At this moment, an ominous premonition arose in his mind.
