Chapter Twenty-Four: A City in Darkness

When you're busy, time flies, and your stomach gets hungry. Qingxue remembered that she had just eaten breakfast, and it was time for lunch.

The morning's practice is over, and today is much calmer than yesterday, with no zero demons to make trouble, and no strange people to reconcile. For some reason, Qingxue felt that such a day was what she wanted, quiet, peaceful, and she could lie on the grass with nothing to do, watch the sunrise and sunset, and the stars shift.

Is constant combat suitable for the Anomalous? Qingxue wanted to ask, but seeing Shan Xin's calm and gentle eyes, she just smiled knowingly.

"Worry, I'm hungry!"

It seems that we are all outliers among the supernatural people.

……

……

Since a few days ago, the whole Shihu City has begun to panic, and most people almost refuse to go out unless they are working. There are few pedestrians in the city, and if there are, they are in a hurry, and they will never delay for a second. Even tourists from other places are very uncomfortable when they come to Shihu.

Even at noon, the whole city was deserted. It was as if an invisible shadow was slowly looming.

Not long ago, someone on the Internet claimed to be a Shihu person, claiming that he had seen a ghost, but he didn't expect to be supported by everyone, most of the Shihu people who commented on it had seen a ghost, and called on relevant people to investigate.

The netizen's article was quickly blocked, but sooner, people claiming to be in Shihu had seen ghosts, or ghost-like creatures, all over the Internet. Some during the day, some at night, some inside the house, some outside the house. I don't know how many of them have actually seen it, and how many of them have come to join in the fun.

However, everyone made such a fuss, and the official felt that this momentum was not like an Internet prank, so they really sent an investigation team to Shihu City to investigate, those experts who have been indoctrinated with scientific ideas since childhood have always been atheists, they don't believe in ghosts and gods and the like, and issued a report that the city is just surrounded by a magnetic field for some unknown reasons, and the experts will find out the reason as soon as possible, please rest assured that all kinds of things like that.

On the second day when the people's hearts were notified by the investigation team to calm down, something big happened, all the members of the investigation team disappeared, and some people even started to strike, and some small companies were also busy on vacation - their bosses were afraid to go out.

After that, Shihu City felt like it was isolated, and when you went out, you could feel your heart depressed and vomit, and people bought food in large numbers, hid at home, and asked for help on the Internet. But seeing that the matter had become serious, most of the people who joined in the excitement were afraid of causing trouble, so they hurriedly retreated, and after retreating, there were many fewer and fewer comments about Shihu City on the Internet. So the official thought that the problem had been solved, and stopped paying attention.

Yes, fewer and fewer people can speak online. The city has been almost paralyzed, without water, electricity, and electricity...... Everything in modern society needs to be maintained by people, but now these people are too scared to go out. If the city is a beast of prey, then these people are the limbs of the beast, and now their legs are broken, so they naturally can't run.

Gradually, Shihu City was truly isolated by the whole world. There is no network and no electricity, and those who hide behind the reinforcement of layer after layer of security doors begin to blame, why does the power plant have a holiday, why does the water plant have a holiday, the country needs you, can't you sacrifice yourself?

It's a pity that no one responded to them, and the city still fell into more and more dead silence, and finally some people couldn't bear the depression and chose to commit suicide, and there was a second and a third ......

……

……

Half a month later, Shihu City, sunset.

"How many are you today?" Single-core wrapped several bandages around his arm, which he had accidentally injured in the battle just now. The two snow-white arms were already covered with various scars.

"Fifth, I'm worried about your hard work, Da Bai can't participate in this kind of battle, these enemies are too weak for him, and they are not enough to make up for the blood energy consumption that summons him to fight."

Qingxue lowered her head and rubbed the medicine on the wounds of the single core, "But for us, it's so difficult." ”

"All the Aliens in the city are constantly fighting, and that's our mission. Besides, even if we don't go to those monsters, the monsters will come to us for trouble. Shan Xin smoothed Shun Qingxue's hair, "I'm just a little injured, don't be sad." Didn't Hua Yuman bring news before, saying that the guild has lost many members who are stronger than us, and we are very lucky. ”

"What kind of mission is this, this is not our battlefield, everyone has done their best, but what's the use? We can't stop these monsters...... Really, we can't hold this city, so let's get out of here...... I don't want to see you hurt again......"

Tears flowed down Qingxue's cheeks, and as she spoke, she couldn't hold back her stalk anymore. She threw herself into Shan Xin's arms, the outside world was still terrifying, and only here could she get a sense of security.

"Stupid, aren't you going to be a hero? How can a hero back down at this time? When you can persist in the face of irresistible difficulties until the sun returns, at that time, you are the real hero, and you will be greeted by countless flowers and shouts! ”

Shan Xin soothed Qingxue's emotions, and her left hand involuntarily wrapped around Qingxue's body and put it on her shoulder, which made her feel better.

When her gaze left Qingxue and slid to the sky, she was lost and low, and layers of black clouds centered on the sunset formed an encirclement that could not be broken through. It was a vision that could only be formed by the incredible number of demons that could not be seen by ordinary people.

Single-core sighed in an undetectable voice, and his heart was bitter.

It's not that I don't want you to go, it's really not your mission, if possible, how could I let you be trapped here with me? But we can't do without it......
