Just as the sun was setting overhead in the Xia Kingdom's territory and entering the night, it was at the same time that the long-dormant "magician" sent out the last piece of information, causing the other side of the ocean to tremble.

In the northern hemisphere, England, the bustling metropolis of the British capital, thunder suddenly rolled into the gloomy sky.

"Boom ......"

Because of the time difference, the time here is not yet noon, and the temperature is not as cold as in the summer capital, and the peak temperature during the day can always remain around minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Coupled with the cumulonimbus clouds that have been hanging over the city since the morning, and the vicious disaster that has just ended, most people in the city are in a heavy mood.

In a building somewhere in the metropolis.

Evelyn slumped in her office chair.

Her long hazel hair was tied together dullly, hanging down the back of her head, and she looked out the window tiredly, the raindrops hitting the glass, and her mood became more and more depressed.

As a reporter nicknamed a "war correspondent" in Reuters, Evelyn has spent the past dozens of hours leading a team to the site of a disaster that has been victimized by the undead.

I also witnessed the purgatory scene that only appears in a doomsday crisis movie.

I have to admit that her heart has been greatly impacted.

If in the past few months, she led a team to various places where projections took place around the world, which made her think that she was extremely familiar with "projection".

Well, this time, when she saw the mountains of bones piled up in the bloodstained city after the war, she suddenly found that the "projection" had become so unfamiliar.

And what happened next also immersed her in a tense and busy atmosphere, and the whole country was shaken.

The whole of Europe, the whole world was shaken.

As one of the world's leading media outlets, almost all of the company's news pages were filled with this unprecedented disaster that swept the world in hundreds of years.

She could only take out the free time near noon and sit down to breathe, so as not to go crazy with her busyness.

"Evelyn, would you like a drink? Your face looks terrible, and I think you need to rest. Suddenly, a bearded colleague walked over and said a break, but handed over a cup of strong coffee.

Evelyn came back to her senses, turned her gaze from the dark street to the brightly lit office, then took it, took a sip, and said bitterly:

"You look worse than I am."

The other party shrugged his shoulders, half-leaned and half-sat at the desk, and said helplessly:

"What can be done? However, as long as I survive these few days, when this turmoil passes and public opinion calms down, I must take a long vacation, well, three days are good, use my vacation, and sleep hard. ”

Evelyn smiled reluctantly, "I hope so." ”

The two were talking, and suddenly, the phone on the table rang, Evelyn hurriedly picked it up with her free hand, put it down, and then stuffed the cup to her colleague, and said helplessly:

"I'm afraid there's big news again."

Sighing, Evelyn said in a joking tone, and then quickly walked to her boss's office, knocked on the door, and was startled, because she had almost never seen her boss's face so solemn.

"Evelyn, I want to ...... We've got big news! The boss clutched the microphone that was still echoing with busy sounds, his lips moved, and he said word by word.

……

……

"Boom—"

Xia Kingdom, Beijing.

It was already dark, and in the brightly lit building, the clerks who were busy at their workstations were stunned to hear the muffled thunder coming from outside the building, and showed surprised expressions.

It was the middle of winter, and there was thunder, although this is a normal phenomenon, but after all, it is rare.

And just after the thunder fell, a series of restless footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor of the office building.

When people heard the sound, they found that several technicians ran from the direction where the monitoring room was located, looking hurried, as if something big had happened.

Not long after, they faintly heard the sound of "arguing" from upstairs, as if someone was blocking something, and then there were several loud knocks on the door, which were heard in the whole building.

Then, with a violent sound of the wooden door being slammed open, there was an extremely high-pitched, girlish scream.

Then, people were shocked to learn the news of Secretary Zhao's death.

……

Yanshan.

In the office at the top of the mountain, Shi Shengcun sat quietly in his place, the room was brightly lit, without any electronic instruments and no one to disturb him.

For an eight-rank realm, "recuperation" does not need to be in bed, as long as you stop thinking and busy, isolate yourself from external information, and sit quietly and breathe, it is already an excellent way to recuperate.

"Tick-tick-tick-"

An old-fashioned wall clock in the house has a smooth and boring sound, which makes people involuntarily sleepy and want to sleep.

Suddenly, the remarkably regular sound of the pendulum was interrupted by the thunder coming from outside the window.

Shi Shengcun, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart.

Immediately, his ears moved slightly, and he heard a series of footsteps from far and near, and the sound of these footsteps alone revealed incomparable irritability.

"Whoa!"

The visitor didn't even knock on the door, but pushed the door open, and suddenly, the dark cold wind outside the window swept into the room, blowing away the faint incense and breaking the peace.

"What's wrong?" Shi Shengcun looked at the door, saw several team leaders who were crowded at the door, and also saw Liang Jing standing at the front, pale, depressed, and bloodshot eyes...... I ......"

Shi Shengcun's demeanor was calm, as if he had expected it.

He walked over in a wheelchair and stared at the latter with a pair of sparkling eyes:

"What's going on? Don't panic, speak slowly. ”

Seeing his calm gaze and hearing his gentle voice, Liang Jing finally couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell from his eyes, and he said in a dumb voice: "I'm sorry......"

……

……

Dozens of minutes later.

Terris, a car drove into this small compound from different places.

Then, under the nervous and panicked gaze of the people in the building, one after another high-ranking figures stepped out of the car and walked straight to the conference room.

When Shi Shengcun arrived, what he saw was already this scene.

He was not in a wheelchair, his steps were steady, and he entered the building and then into the conference room with a blank face in a myriad of eyes.

When the heavy door of the conference room was completely closed, cutting off everyone's gaze, those who did not know the ins and outs continued their work with a heavy heart, while the few who had vague speculations could only wait anxiously.

As hours passed, the doors of the conference room remained motionless, but the atmosphere in the building inevitably grew tense.

Everyone realizes that something big could happen.

Yet, they were bewildered, thinking what could be greater than the catastrophe that had just happened.

In the confusion, in the white fluorescent lamp, in the never-ending busyness, the night gradually receded, and when people looked up from their desks, they were stunned to find that the sky was already dawn.

It's the Fourth of January.

It was also time for the shift, and the clerks who had been busy all night put down their work and prepared to wait a little longer, and then they would change shifts to eat and rest.

However, just when the white sun on the horizon was just showing a corner, the clerks sitting in front of the computer yawned in unison.

Suddenly, in the office in charge of monitoring extranet information in the building, there was a sudden and uncontrollable shout.

Then, the door to the conference room, which had been closed all night, finally opened.

……

At this moment, an explosive news was pushed to countless netizens at the same time without warning, as if it had been agreed:

"Bombshell news! Midland, Reuters, France News, Bloomberg...... and hundreds of news websites around the world to publish articles simultaneously! The culprit of the projection tragedy has been ...... Lock!!! ”
