Chapter 118: The Front Breaks
In the Marquis's Palace, Marquis Charles was standing in front of a high-power telegraph, anxious, like an ant on a hot pot.
In the old era, satellite communication was extremely developed, and various advanced means of communication emerged in an endless stream, but in the era of collapse, due to a series of changes in the earth, all the satellites of the old era have failed, and the irregular and violently fluctuating atmosphere also makes it difficult to launch new satellites, so now the popular means of communication have been reduced to radio wave frequency communication.
Marquis Charles's eyes were red, because of extreme anxiety, there were even a few blood blisters on his fat lips, he stomped his feet irritably, and roared angrily: "What the hell is the Asia-Pacific Theater Headquarters of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps doing!" Why not give a reply!! ”
Ghost Hand stood gloomily at this time, it had been almost half an hour since he accompanied the Marquis, and as soon as the Marquis arrived at the mansion, he sent an urgent distress telegram, but did not receive any reply, which was very different from the efficiency of the Federation in the past.
Now that the wall of life in Dawn City has collapsed, the entire city is exposed to the threat of the wilderness, and no matter how bold and uninhibited the ghost is, he also feels a strong crisis, however, he is not worried about his own safety, the city has fallen, it is also a city, and the real wilderness cannot be compared, and he is a person who can walk directly out of the city wall and walk on the wilderness, the fall of the city is not a disaster for him, but if Dawn City is gone, his source of money is cut off, it will be bad.
Of course, the mood of the ghost hand is not so relaxed, if it is just the collapse of the wall of life, it is not so shocking to him, but the appearance of Nidhogg has a direct impact on his worldview, it is no exaggeration to say that he was completely suppressed by Nidhogg's dragon power at that time, there is no room for resistance, once this monster descends on Dawn City again and starts to wreak havoc, then the entire city, including himself, will be sent to hell.
And now, all hope is pinned on the Federation's reinforcements.
While the two were anxiously waiting, the approaching noise outside the mansion attracted their attention, and they walked out of the mansion under the guidance of the Marquis.
The Marquis' Mansion is located on an artificially piled mountain range, and there is a sense of looking down on all living beings, and at this time, most of the scene of Dawn City is naturally in full view, and Marquis Charles dares to swear that he has never seen such a shocking scene.
The new era of the collapse of order is full of injustice and decay, and the same is true of Dawn City, but this city is notoriously prosperous in the wilderness, and you can say that the Marquis Charles is corrupt, hedonistic, big-bellied, ugly, fat, and selfish, but you can't help but admire his skill in the running of the civil administration.
The prosperity and comfort of Dawn City has always been among the best, coupled with the unique Dawn Arena, the residents' satisfaction with life has always been far beyond that of other cities, so people can usually be called "living and working in peace", except for the black streets, there are few serious security incidents.
But now, the delicate buildings of Dawn City have been smashed to the ground by the mob, many of the buildings have begun to burn, and terrible black smoke has drifted out of the broken windows into the hazy night sky!
On the streets, the flow of people who had been driving in an orderly manner had become a mess, vehicles crashed together, explosions occurred one after another, tongues of fire began to rage on the streets, and dense crowds fled like ants fleeing like ants fleeing from natural disasters, trying to find a place to take refuge, but they fell like dominoes in the chaos, and were trampled on by the hard shoes of the people around them.
In order to defend themselves, some people have even taken up some things at hand as weapons and beat anyone who squeezes them, such a move has further increased the panic of the people, and for a time there are wails and rivers of blood.
What made the marquis's face even more pale, in order to take refuge, all the people chose to crowd into the marquis's mansion, wanting to run to this high ground.
In fact, this is also a wise choice, but how can the Marquis Mansion be accessible to ordinary people? There are many checkpoints on the path leading to the Marquis's Palace, and the Marquis's personal guards are stationed all the year round, and these personal guards are all soldiers from the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, blonde hair and blue eyes, tall and tall, at the first line of defense, a platoon of about 40 people with explosion-proof shields stuck in the narrow road to block the impact of the crowd.
At the front of the crowd, a young mother had been squeezed into a sweat, even her lips were broken and oozing blood, and she was carrying something in her arms, this woman desperately squeezed to the front, pressed against the blast shield, almost stretched out her arms to dislocation, handed the contents of her arms to the defenders, and cried: "Please! Please let my kids pass! Please! ”
The woman handed out a baby crying in swaddling clothes, the young life was frightened by the hustle and bustle of the crowd and was crying, and its immature skin glowed a little abnormally red under the friction of the previous crowd.
"Stand back! Stand back for me! "The marquis's guards don't have any problems with babies at this time, and now there are endless crowds in front of them, and it is already very difficult to block these people, and the woman handed the child up at this time, which affected the sight of a member of the guard, and after several warnings to no avail, the team member slapped the woman's wrist with a palm, and knocked the baby in swaddling clothes down together.
The fragile baby accidentally fell to the head when it fell to the ground, and the gurgling blood flowed out and stopped moving.
"My child! My baby!! Seeing this scene, the woman's emotions completely collapsed, she squeezed in like crazy, her hair was scattered, like a crazy shrew, even if her hands were stuck in the flesh and blood of the explosion-proof shield, she had to grab the baby whose life and death were unknown, and even received a few heavy punches from the guards in the face, and the front teeth fell out and the bridge of the nose was shattered and did not retreat.
Eventually, the insane woman squeezed into the array of guards, fell to her knees in despair, muttered "my child" indistinctly, and grabbed the bloodied baby.
"Oh! Damn it! I can't stand on my feet! The woman's intrusion was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for the guards, as one of the team's feet tripped over a squatting woman, and his tall body fell to the ground like an overturned bull with an unstable center of gravity.
"The front line can't stand it! Request support! I would like support!! At this moment, there was finally a gap in the front of the guards, and under the chain effect of a vicious circle, one by one the tall team members fell down with a howl, the entire front completely collapsed, and the people who had been squeezed also rushed forward like a flood that burst the embankment.
As for the fallen guards and the woman and child, they had long since turned into pulp in the surging crowd.
