Chapter Twenty-Six: The Calm of Collapse 5
The crowd gathered in front of this cordon had been standing for more than ten minutes, and most of these people were not the kind of people who would be afraid of the army, because they had the strength to play with most of the army.
But now, it is precisely because they have that strength that they understand the horror of the army in front of them. So much so that no one dared to try to cross this line of defense that exuded terror and coercion first.
The spontaneous distance of nearly 100 meters between the crowd and the army was like an impassable moat.
In this open moat, where there are no obstacles, an old man and a girl walk on it, striking as if it were the center of the world.
The old man's health is probably not very good, and he can only walk slowly and tremblingly with the support of the girl, and it took several minutes to walk on the empty section of less than 100 meters.
At the end of the moat, the old man said to a soldier who looked like a stone sculpture, "Comrade, our house is over there, can we ......?"
Before the old man could finish his sentence, the warrior made a backward gesture to the armored vehicle that occupied half of the road. The road, which would have required a few meters to get around, appeared straight in front of the eyes of the old man and the girl.
The old man was stunned, and a happy smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "Okay, the ironclad car will make way for our grandchildren, this is a treatment that only people from our country can enjoy, this is the real teacher of benevolence, the teacher of kings......"
The old man walked away with the girl's support, and the countless praises brought a small smile to the warrior's face, and then he returned to his steely stance.
The passage of the old man made some people who wanted to go home from afar, or who really needed to go over, feel relieved to start walking forward. Originally, this was his own country, how could his country's army stop him for no reason, and it was all because the group of foreigners crowded in front made people nervous.
Seeing that all the ordinary citizens had passed the cordon freely, some people who had targeted the central square also tried to walk over.
Although this terrifying force did not stop anyone from beginning to end, nearly half of them terminated their plans for various reasons and quickly turned around and left. On several other roads leading to the central square, the situation is almost the same.
Even so, in less than an hour, the huge central square was already several times more lively than usual, people of different skin colors, different languages, but with the same fierce aura gathered here, but strangely there was not a single incident. It seemed to be clear to everyone that the army that made them tremble must have something to do with the upcoming mission publisher, and that dismount just now was enough.
When the square was almost full, the large screen in the square suddenly lit up, and a figure that could only see a vague outline appeared on the screen.
"Welcome all from afar, when you stand in this square, the promised money has been all paid to your account."
The words of the people on the screen made the people in the entire square boil, and many people directly took out their mobile phones to inquire about the account.
"Head, what's going on?"
"What?" The head of the account, who also held his mobile phone, was stunned for a moment, and the account clearly displayed a huge amount of money that had just arrived.
"I mean, all the peers around me are so high-quality that they can understand German."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Another member of the team shouted, "Didn't the person who issued the mission speak Russian?" ”
This sentence made the other players from different countries around all look at the two of them with strange eyes. The two of them, who realized that something was wrong, looked at their heads with strange expressions uneasily.
"Either you two are crazy, or we're all crazy." The head said slowly in a tone that was more uneasy than theirs, "I heard it in Spanish...... The language of the country where I was born ......"
They are not alone in discovering this anomaly. The entire square was shrouded in great panic and uneasiness. If it weren't for the fact that they were not ordinary people, there would have been a riot in the square long ago.
"I think you've noticed something special about me. Before I go into details, those who receive the money can choose to leave freely or choose to stay. But if you stay, you will be willing to accept my assignment and will be paid 10 times as much as you are now. ”
Some people who were about to leave because of the first half of the sentence quickly stopped because of the second half of the sentence. The amount they were paid now was no less than the total they had earned before, and if it were to be increased tenfold, it would be enough to drive them crazy.
As if knowing this outcome, the voice of the mission publisher continued without pause, "It seems that no one has left, so now everyone has accepted my mission." While it's not a good idea to ask you to agree before I make a mission statement, I beg your pardon for my petty willfulness. Now, please come in. ”
With these words, the building next to the square, which had been used as a decoration by countless visitors, suddenly parted to both sides, and a huge entrance appeared more than ten meters horizontally and vertically. Inside this entrance, there is a long tunnel that is brightly lit and has no end in sight.
As the tunnel appears, the figure on the screen begins to narrate.
"Fear of the end of the world is not unique to people now. Since a long time ago, there have been many people in the history of China who worried about the heavens, and in order to have a place to shelter when the sky falls, many shelters have been built that even seem exaggerated today. And the most ambitious of them all is the place you are about to enter. ”
Driven by irrepressible curiosity, many people walked into the tunnel first.
"It's impossible to know who started building this place in the first place, but what is certain is that it was definitely a grand project with the help of the whole country. Of course, such a huge gesture is not just to avoid the ethereal collapse, for practical reasons, this shelter is also a huge hiding hole. Many of the rebellions that have been miraculously suppressed in history, as well as the Heavenly Blessing that has not been eliminated despite the emptiness of the royal family's defenses, are likely to have something to do with this......"
Those who enter the tunnel quickly discover that what looks like an ordinary concrete floor and wall is actually a layer of solid metal. If you look closely, you can see that there are small gaps in some places.
"Over time, the first people who built this sanctuary did not perpetuate their dynasty. But the change of dynasties not only did not make this refuge fall, but it was constantly expanded......"
The tunnel was so long that some people lost their patience and ran at a speed far beyond the level of a human. The fastest people could already see the bright light at the end of the tunnel. But judging by the diameter of the tunnel, the light is at least a few kilometers away from its current position.
