Chapter 8 Arrival

With the exception of the five seriously injured who had incarnated as Angel Beasts, most of the remaining wounded had stabilized, but compared to the number of dead as many as eighty-two, less than ten of the wounded had been saved, which was quite a heavy fact. Ida had the team stay in place for a day, partly because after a long journey, and having just been attacked by a mob, the crowd had almost reached the limit mentally and physically, and on the other hand, it was a very hard and time-consuming task to bury the unfortunate dead.

Although some people couldn't wait to get to the Babel Tower as soon as possible, Yihao's strong strength in dealing with the rioters had a considerable effect, and the team finally accepted his offer, and camped and rested that night.

After the tragedy of the day, the people seemed to have lost the strength to make a fuss, and the tired survivors snuggled up to each other by the side of the bonfires, and soon fell asleep for a long time. As for Yihao, he took on the duty of vigilance and sat with Asora around the outermost campfire. Asora seemed unhappy with his act of distributing the tent and other supplies to the crowd, but Ada, who had settled her group before she left to complain, walked over.

"You look tired, don't you want to get some rest?" Yihao stared at Ada's pale face and vain steps.

"Yes, but if you go to sleep at this time, you don't know when you will be able to get up again......" Ida smiled wryly and sat down next to her, letting out a long breath and stopping her gaze on Yihao. Mr. Tie Yihao, please allow me to thank you on behalf of all of you, if it were not for your help. This time, we will definitely be in trouble, and I will remember this kindness, although there is probably no way to repay it......"

"Oh, remember me?"

"Of course, the undead scourge in Houston hadn't been for Mr. Iron at that time. Things will never settle down so quickly...... Together with this time, we have received your kindness twice. Ida bowed her head deeply to Yihao and thanked her, and there was an earnestness in her voice that could not be concealed. Mr. Tie, you are here again this time...... Is it here to save us? ”

"I don't know if I can help. Unlike the time of the Undead Scourge this time, it was a catastrophe that swept the whole world......" Yihao smiled bitterly and waved his hand to follow, but noticed that Ida had a sluggish expression when he heard this, and couldn't help but be surprised. "Hey, look at your appearance, AGS doesn't know anything yet, right?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Indeed it is. Ida hung her head heavily. Since the loss of electricity, we have been completely cut off from the outside world. I don't know what's going on until now......"

"Looks like I'm going to have to take a long time to explain...... "Yihao scratched his head in embarrassment. Well, I'll tell you what I know, and then you can answer my questions. ”

So for the next period of time, Yihao explained to Ada that because the silver mask distorted the first law, the things that caused the world turmoil were of course hidden from the part related to the "source" that ordinary people could not understand. β€œβ€¦β€¦ In short, the so-called 'law of distortion'. You can imagine this as some kind of interference radio wave spread by the silver mask, and all the electrical appliances in the world will fail at the same time due to the interference of this radio wave. Then it led to chaos in the world as a whole...... I think it's easier to understand this way, but do you get it? ”

"Yes...... Yes, probably ......," Ida nodded reluctantly, but her expression was still dazed. "But that ...... What is the monster you call 'Angelmon'? Does it have anything to do with the 'Twisted Law'? ”

"That's the question I'm going to ask you. Miss Ada. Yihao's voice sank. While the world has been plunged into chaos by the distortion of the First Law, as far as I know, the United States is the only one that has wreaked havoc on Angel Beasts beyond this chaos...... I'm sure it's definitely not a product of nature, Miss Ada, don't you know anything? ”

"Mr. Iron, what do you mean......" Ida looked confused.

"Angel beasts are transformed into ordinary people, and you've just seen that......" Yihao explained to Ada. Then I tried to figure out their physiology, and it turned out to be quite a strange thing......"

"What's the matter?"

"Those guys are no longer human, or have become completely different from humans, spirit-dominated alien creatures, just like ...... 'angels', so after being killed, there will be no corpses left, but will become auras and dissipate out of thin air." Yihao subconsciously touched the wound on his left shoulder with a thoughtful expression. "As for their feeding method, they forcibly absorb the spirit child energy in the human body from flesh and blood, and then turn it into their own spirit child structure. As a result, the combination of the spirit child and the molecules that make up the human body is completely stripped away, so that the dead who are consumed by it do not leave any corpses, but directly disintegrate at the molecular level......"

"Wait! That's why you deliberately let them bite in the first place to confirm this? Asora, who had been sitting next to her with an indifferent expression, suddenly stood up and asked.

"Well, that's the quickest way to do it......" Yihao shrugged.

"You...... You're ......," Asola looked like she wanted to be on the spot, but finally sat back indignantly. "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you're dead or alive!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Leave her alone and get down to business. Yihao shook his head at Ida and continued. Miss Ada, I know it sounds incredible, but it doesn't hurt to believe it as a fact because of Tui's own experience...... And, I'm sure you've noticed that the most critical problem is the angelic bestiality of humans, and as far as I know, there is no spell in this world that can make humans change so completely, let alone have such a wide range of effects, it's like ...... It's like some unknown infectious disease. ”

"Yes...... Yes......" Ida didn't know what came to mind, and her face became even paler.

"When I first saw Angelmon, I had a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu, as if I had seen something similar somewhere in the past. But I can't remember until I met Miss Ida today, and I don't remember where I saw it......" Yihao said in a slow tone. "It's called the 'Pharmaceutical Factory', it's a biochemical facility on the outskirts of AGS, where I encountered mutated beasts that have been corrupted by demonic powers, and they give me a similar feeling like Angelmon......"

"This ...... That's impossible! Ada shouted reflexively. That study...... It should have been abandoned with the pharmaceutical factory a long time ago! ”

"Of course. This is just my speculation. Yihao nodded, he could understand Adadi's feelings, this woman was a rare and wise person in AGS, so he believed that she would not deliberately hide it. Regardless of where the angelic beast came from. Now that they are already in place, they have to find a way to deal with them. Believe Miss Ada, you can imagine what a heavy blow it will be to humanity at the moment once this symptom spreads across North America and even around the world. ”

Yihao looked at Ada sincerely. "Miss Ada, although I can be sure that Angelmon is a spirit life close to Angels, my knowledge of Angelmon before its mutation is quite limited. It's hard to come up with any countermeasures, and if you have any useful information, please be sure to tell me. ”

Yihao's words silenced Ada for a few minutes, and her face looked as if she was struggling, and finally, apparently, one side of her heart prevailed, and she nodded to Yihao and began to speak.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mr. Iron. As you know, the United States was once the only powerhouse in the world, relying on the world's best technology. Our country has been able to establish its hegemony in the world. However, in addition to the mortal world that operates according to common sense, there is another red world that is completely unfettered by the law, and it is a world that is completely unfamiliar to us, and in the face of the power of the people in the red world, the technology that we are proud of is completely useless. Unfortunately, the ancient gods of North America have long since died out with the decline of the aborigines, and there is no divine favor, which makes our country in an extremely weak position in the Red Age, so there is the emergence of AGS later......"

"That's a great loyalty, but now isn't the time to plead?" Yihao flicked his finger to remind Ada. Listening to her tone, it is clear that she agrees with AGS, so that it elevates its significance to the level of the nation-state, and although it is a valuable loyalty, it is only unclear what the situation is in the present situation.

"Yes, as you say......" Ida smiled wryly. The reason for the birth of AGS was to give the United States a foothold in the Red World, and for this reason, we tried all kinds of methods, from the 'God-making Project' in cooperation with the Dark Guild to the 'Poison' research of the pharmaceutical factory you know, no matter how much resources and energy we put in, it ended in failure......"

"'Poison'? Is that the code name for those demonic beasts? Yihao interrupted Ada.

"No, those are just the original seeds infected by the 'fierce poison', the so-called 'fierce poison' is the code name of the demonic virus cultivated by using the power of demons." Ida reached out and scratched the drooping voice in front of her forehead, looking quite lost. "I have not been directly involved in the research work of the pharmaceutical factory, and all I know is limited information with the permission to do so...... According to the above record, 'Fierce Poison' is not a finished product, it is a kind of parasitic germ as the prototype of the cultivation of demonic germs, and undergoes the transformation of dark magic, so that this germ can give its own demonic power to the host's **, so that the host's physical skills can be improved by leaps and bounds, and further obtain the demonic power...... Although AGS planned to borrow 'fierce poison' to train soldiers who could be used in the red world, before they could carry out human body practice, they encountered an undead natural disaster, and the pharmaceutical factory was destroyed, and as a result, this research was abandoned, at least as I know. ”

"Maybe they started a new study and it failed...... It shouldn't be a big success, at least as a spirit weapon, this thing does have the power to exterminate humanity. The corners of Yihao's mouth complete the arc of sarcasm. But now it's finally clear what the root cause of the Angel Beast's mutation is, and when I return to Gramm, I'll start the vaccine research immediately, but before that, I still have a question...... Miss Ada, do you know what that tower is? ”

Yihao pointed to the Tower of Babel in the distance, with the pitch-black sky as the background, the swarthy tower body seemed to open half of the dark door, which looked extremely terrifying.

"No, I don't know......" Ida shook her head in surprise.

"Then why are you heading towards that place?" Yi Haoqi said.

"It's because of the ballad ......"

Ada tells Yihao about the "ballad......

"The world has lost order......

Order is lost at the same time. Chaos has shrouded the land...

Sudden monsters appeared on the ground, and the monsters tore apart the army that had been put together......

The army collapsed under the claws of the monsters, and the government was completely paralyzed with the disappearance of dignitaries......

The paralyzed government has left the powerless people as food for monsters, and tens of millions of people have died in just one week......

The dead are either eaten by monsters or eaten by monsters......

Fear and despair spread out their pitch-black wings to cover the sky......

Even with the dazzling sun overhead. The hearts of people are still as cold as iron......

Fear breeds death, and there is no hope in despair......

The possibility that man once believed and was proud to grasp all things with his own hands burst like a bubble under God's law......

A person who finally realizes his own humility. Kneeling down to God in the abyss of despair......

Repent of your arrogance, pray to God, commit your sins, and pray to God for merciful redemption......

There is no limit to God's power, and there is no end to God's mercy, so God answered the prayers of man and sowed the seeds of hope on a land that was on the verge of destruction......

It was the name that was once recorded in the Bible-Old Testament, and the ancient Babylonians failed to fulfill their ambitions......

Tower of Babel. The gateway to heaven is the only salvation God has given man......

O desperate man, ye who desire salvation, lift up thy head and bow down thy head......

If you can see that light on the horizon, if you still have the strength to move forward, go in that direction......

That is the place of salvation, and that is where God's mercy lies......

arrived at the promised place of salvation. Despair will be driven out by hope, and fear will be embraced for peace......

In God's mercy, no pain will come to intrude anymore......

Come on. Come on......

O man who longs for salvation......

Let's take a step towards the Tower of Babel......"

…… Originally sung by no one else, it soon spread among the crowd, and although no one ever came out to confirm its reliability, for people in despair and confusion, any hope was enough to pay for their lives. Ada's city is also on the verge of ruin due to the distortion of the law and the rampant infestment of angelic beasts. Some of the people organized themselves towards the rumored hope, and Ada, as the surviving top government official in the area, was in charge of leading the team on the road.

On the way to Colorado, they were attacked by a mob several times, and the team was reduced from 20,000 to less than 3,000 now, until they finally came to the rescue of Yihao.

"Where is the place of redemption, where is God's mercy......" Yihao sneered at the giant shadow that seemed to be the embodiment of calamity. What the hell is the idea of making up this pediatric lie and beating the crowd in the tower......"

"You say...... A lie? Ada asked, hesitantly.

"Nonsense! The god you believe in is the one who distorts the world, will she come out and build any place of salvation? If you think about it on your knees, you know that it is the most unpopular psychological tactic, but the scale is indeed unprecedented, no wonder so many people are fooled. ”

"But when I stepped into Colorado, the power really came back up......"

"Comparatively speaking, the power of the second law is used again, whether it is a god or a demon, it will lose its own power here." Yihao declared the cruel truth in a cold voice. "So this is not so much a place where the gods descend as it is a place forsaken by the gods."

……………………

Although Ida should not go to the suspicious Tower of Babel for the time being, for the people who have long been tormented by various mutations and are on the verge of collapse, this is the only hope to support their survival. Ida, who deeply understood this, could only put Yihao's Jianyì aside, and the team came out again when the sun rose, minus the dead yesterday, and there were two more entourages, Yihao and Asora, as the escort of the team, drove to the front.

Since the team was advancing almost on foot, Yihao could only cooperate with the progress of the team, and as a result, it was originally a journey of less than a day, but he did not arrive until noon on the third day. An hour after Yihao defeated the last of the thugs, after a long trek, the team finally reached the location of the Tower of Babel. When they saw this huge tower towering over the plain at close range, everyone could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, and many people even cried on the spot.

Yihao, who looked up at the Tower of Babel, also had an indescribable look on his face, if he hadn't grasped the truth, he would probably have believed that the tower in front of him was really a miracle of God's presence. In any case, the 20-kilometer diameter and the height of the clouds make the Tower of Babel look as if it had moved the Himalayas to the North American plains.

Although Yihao once thought that the area around Babel should be heavily guarded, the reality was that there was only a huge door, standing silently and open, as if no one would refuse.

Without waiting for Ida to beckon, everyone rushed towards the entrance at the bottom of the tower, and Yihao hesitated for two or three seconds, and after confirming that there was really nothing suspicious around, he also gritted his teeth and walked in with Asora.
