Chapter 540: Evaporation of the World
Barnes didn't have the heart to continue to spend here, he was thinking more about what Yang had told him now.
Although he kept repeating the words that he told himself not to cling to the clouds of Yang, he ......
……
After handing over the fat man's body to the staff, Barnes left the arsenal.
……
The cleaning work on the site is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
One by one, the Ark creatures were locked into the blessing cage and transported to the transport plane.
Includes those A-rank creatures in Erha.
And, of course, Johnny.
In the demonic stance, he was not able to break out of the encirclement.
But if you think about it, even if you can't break out at the level of S-class, then it's not unreasonable that Johnny, who is at the center of the encirclement, can't get out.
The military's mecha warriors almost skinned him.
The monster exoskeleton and bone spurs of the demon form were blasted into a blurred layer of flesh.
When Johnny finally returns to his human form, it is even more miserable than the last time he was injured and curled up in a garbage heap and found by Yang.
The whole person is like a withered grass.
If I had to use an analogy, it would be a malnourished and dying "Gollum".
And the military's vital detection device almost determined Johnny dead......
……
"Bang!"
The armed men injected Johnny with control drugs and sent him to a cage.
"Coefficient Level 3 ......"
They took the instruments in their hands and quickly edited the information of the creatures in the cage and submitted the statistics.
The system then repeats the information they entered.
"Number 12, Johnny Alton ......"
The militants waited for the system to respond.
But after repeating all the information, the system paused for about two seconds, and then gave a voice prompt that surprised the surrounding armed people:
"In order to detect the target creature, please escort the target creature into the locking cage ......",
……
"What?"
"Something went wrong."
The militants wondered.
The two of them had obviously thrown that cadaveric-like guy in.
"One more confirmation."
They re-entered the data into the system between the device and the cage, and carefully checked the signal connections between the devices to confirm that there were no hardware problems with the devices.
"Did you die inside and didn't detect it?" ……
The armed men were quick to report the situation.
About a minute later.
A large group of heavily armed men came to the cage, and at the same time the muzzles of about twenty guns were aimed at the exit of the cage.
The researchers then carefully examined the entire system, and after confirming that there were no problems, they carefully opened the cage device.
And after the cage heavy metal door was opened.
The specific situation inside made everyone dumbfounded.
……
"Empty?"
……
Everyone frowned.
"It's good to be empty, I thought there was something wrong with the system, since it's empty, it means that the detection system is correct......," a scientific researcher patted his chest and said with a sigh of relief.
"Get out!"
The militants nearly missed the researcher's death.
He carried his gun and glanced at the names displayed on the panel.
"Johnny Alton, what about the others?!"
……
For a while, the arsenal site, which was already close to the manual stage, was busy again in an instant.
Because a very important figure was lost.
This is a very serious situation.
Johnny, although he is also a monster capable of changing postures, is more valuable in that he is a researcher at the Immortal Bird Corporation, which is valued by Rael and the military.
But now that all the creatures are basically locked up, you just lost this guy?
……
In an instant, the detection system was completely enveloped.
All armed men conducted a carpet search in the area.
……
The high-ranking fighters at the scene called up the surveillance footage of the cage, which showed that a few minutes ago, the armed men had indeed thrown Johnny, who was as thin as a mummy, into the cage.
However, after Johnny is thrown into the pitch-black cage, the screen switches to the inside of the cage, but Johnny is not seen thrown in.
That is, by the time the people outside thought Johnny had been put in a cage, he had already left......
"It's impossible, the target organism is in a dying state, and it has been injected with such a large dose of suppressive drugs...... "The researchers were at a loss.
……
And just when the military is frantically expanding the scope of the search.
In the dilapidated buildings of the arsenal.
The corpses on the ground, whether human or Ark creatures, have basically been cleaned up, and now in addition to the ruins, bloodstains, and broken mechas, there is also a very inconspicuous silver box that has been discarded in the corner, and no one has noticed the existence of this thing for the time being.
This is the box Johnny was holding when he jumped down the stairs.
Just outside when military personnel came and went frantically searching.
The silver box suddenly moved to the ground.
……
Probably afraid that the stones on the box would make a sound as they rolled down, the stones automatically levitated one by one and then gently fell to the ground next to them.
Eventually, all the stones on the box "flew" away, and the box levitated on its own, swaying in the air towards the exit of the building.
But it was brightly lit outside, and a lot of armed men were coming and going.
……
The silver box then vanished at the exit of the building.
Disappeared without warning.
No one was aware of this strange process.
All the devices, including the vital detection device, the infrared rays, etc., did not find out how Johnny slipped away, as if it had suddenly evaporated.
……
…
In the end, no cause was found.
Everyone present searched for almost a day, but nothing came of it.
Johnny is gone.
In the end, according to the data information of the Ark creatures they had obtained, after counting the number of dead and alive captured creatures, there was only one error in the data.
That is, on the original list, there was one missing.
No arrests were made, and no bodies were found.
What's even more bizarre is that after examining all the records of the detection system, there is no record of the creature's existence detected at all.
……
…
A few hours later.
Above a wilderness.
A tall, furry white primate appears near a river.
It carried a silver box in its left hand, and in its right hand it clutched Johnny, who was unconscious and looked like he might hang up at any moment.
……
"Woo ......"
It muttered and scratched its head, revealing a very helpless expression.
……
It was the only Ark creature that had escaped, the Invisible.
