Chapter 583: The Apostle Descends
In the recording, there was a suppressed snort of pain. This was followed by a conversation between the two.
"So, your gods have given you a mission to turn off the lights and hide in this farm in the countryside? That's a great mission. ”
"Hehe, you'll never understand the mission God has given me. I am his spokesman, and I am a believer walking on earth. I will have everything ready for the coming of Chaos. When the time comes, I will be rewarded and become a truly immortal being. Join us, Daniel, and this is your last chance. I can feel your life being lost, join us and I can heal your wounds. Together, we can accomplish great missions and become immortal beings together. For the sake of old friends, let's come along. ”
"For the sake of old friends, let's go back. Daniel, you weren't like that before. You are a human being, and human beings, do not need to surrender to anything. ”
"The old me? No, I'm still me, nothing has changed. What has changed is the world. Now the entire human world is facing unprecedented upheaval, and the key to further progress is in my hands. Now I'm willing to share him with you, George, and I'll ask you one last time, join us. ”
"You know what? Daniel, I've always been curious. If your gods are really what you say they are, they can do anything. Why didn't he force me to join? I'm just a lowly mortal, and this should be a breeze for a god, right? ”
"To the gods, you are like an ant. This kind of thing only needs to be done by the apostles. You're in luck, George. Soon you will be the first mortal to see the apostle with your own eyes. ”
"Really? But I guess I can't see it. In a few minutes, I was bleeding to death. Can you help me stop the bleeding first. ”
There was a moment of silence in the recording, and it was about a dozen seconds before a new voice was heard.
"I see, you're stalling for time. There aren't any electronic signals here, so you must have sent the message out before you came. George, I always unconsciously ignore the identity of an old detective. It's just that this time, you really shouldn't have done it. ”
"Daniel, I should have given you this sentence. I don't know what you've done. But don't go any further. Take pity on this broken world. ”
The recording fell silent again, and then there was a swift cracking sound. A roar followed. Then there is the sound of the body falling to the ground. Finally, there is the sound of something being dragged farther and farther away.
After listening to the recording, everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Until the black officer broke the silence.
"The recording reveals some important information. Let's all share our opinions. ”
"That farmer named Daniel must be the believer we are looking for. But it doesn't sound like he's the boss, the thing called the Apostle is what we really need to pay attention to. ”
"From the conversation, we can roughly tell. The so-called existence of believers is to create conditions for the appearance of this apostle. And this condition is ......"
Everyone didn't say anything, but just glanced at the 'Roshan' in unison.
"The flesh was apparently gathered for the apostles. Looks like a giant egg. Used to incubate apostles. Before he died, Daniel said that you could be the first human to see the apostles, so we can understand that it wasn't ripe in the first place. And when Daniel realizes that George is dragging his feet, he should leave immediately. So can we think that the thing is not ripe? ”
"It's possible, and what would it do if it wasn't fully ripe?"
"It knows it's exposed, and it probably won't act so covertly. IMHO, judging by the military's record of dealing with this thing. If the apostles were really higher level beings. Then the conventional armed forces may not be able to resist. ”
"Mike, inform all the surrounding towns, as well as the city. Let them mobilize all the armed forces. Enforce an absolute curfew, and establish a primary line of defense. Seal all entrances and exits and wait for backups. Others, leave a team to collect clues. The rest got on the plane. We went to the nearest town. ”
………………………….
On a state highway, a truck is speeding away. It was a huge cargo truck with a lot of furniture in the back of the car. It's just that there's still some space. And in this small space, two figures are curled up inside.
"How's it going, Lord Apostle?"
"It's not enough...... Body...... It's not quite enough to carry me down. Completion ...... Body...... Befall. ”
The one who spoke was a full-body, emaciated body. Overall, it looks like a giant baby. And it's the kind of baby that's not fully developed. He curled up in the corner of the carriage, intermittently communicating with Daniel. Or rather, a will is communicating with Daniel through this broken body.
It is said that it is him, but in fact it is a body with no gender at all. It is the body of Daniel, who used the flesh and blood of hundreds of humans and animals, specially cultivated for the 'apostles'. It's just like the people of the squad analyzed. The body is not yet fully mature. In order not to expose himself, Daniel could only take out his body that was not yet fully developed and ran away in advance.
A little light appeared in front of it. It was a small town along the road, which is extremely common in Maine. Most of them are remote, and have little contact with the outside world. A dangerous glint flashed in Daniel's eyes.
"Lord Apostle, we will soon be able to perfect your body."
In mid-air, the helicopters of the Einsatzgruppen pursued each of the three most likely directions. A carpet search is conducted. The infected human body presents an extremely high body temperature, and according to this phenomenon. The Ministry of Defense urgently developed a special batch of detectors. Specifically targets these infected organisms.
"We weren't sure what kind of movement they were using, so we couldn't tell exactly where they were moving. It's just a needle in a haystack if they hide in a corner. There is absolutely nothing we can do. ”
"They're not going to hide. You haven't seen any of those things. If you've ever looked at them directly, you'll see that those monsters are dominated by some kind of ** that is so strong that it can't be restrained. For human beings, all of them are pure darkness and evil. This time we forced back ahead of schedule, and that thing will definitely launch a crazy revenge. I bet it wouldn't even make up for the night. Keep an eye on all the alarm calls around you. Hopefully we'll be able to find it before it gets its hands dirty. ”
The town of Lane is a town that thrived as a coal producer. In Maine, such small towns are everywhere. It is bordered by the Intercontinental Highway, although the coal mines have declined. But the town still existed.
It was late at night, and the town was almost devoid of pedestrians. Except for the town's taverns, which are still open, the whole town has fallen silent.
A couple of overly drunk truck drivers staggered out of the tavern. Next to the trash can on the side, I want to put some water. What he didn't notice was that just under his feet, a twisted tentacle had quietly wrapped around his ankle. The tentacles were violently forced, and the drunk man at the back was dragged directly into the darkness.
The first few people looked back suspiciously, but found nothing. Turn around and continue walking. After a few steps, though, they finally realized what the problem was. They seem to have one less person. The remaining three drunks only felt a cold sweat all over their bodies. Most of the alcohol disappeared in an instant.
"Where's Sam? I remember him with us. ”
"He's gone, I swear he was still behind me."
"Hell, Sam." Several people subconsciously wanted to shout. As soon as I opened my mouth, I only felt that something suddenly wrapped around my neck. For a moment, all the air in his throat was squeezed out. I can't make a sound out of my mouth anymore.
"Give your bodies for the coming of darkness and chaos." In the darkness, Daniel's low, evil voice was heard.
……………………….
Headquarters.
"Any news from Maine?"
"Not yet, when they arrived, the thing had already fled?"
"Escaped?"
"Yes, as far as they judged, the timing of their going may have been somewhat coincidental. That thing hasn't grown up yet. They are now conducting a carpet search around. But I don't know what the other side is, and I don't know how fast they move. So the progress is not very fast. ”
"Have you sent more people?"
"I have instructed the nearest troops to come to the rescue. But it will take some time for them to arrive. And that's what worries me the most. What if our army can't capture or kill that thing? That's probably the highest level of aberration we've encountered. ”
"I see what you mean. Send two F22s over and clear everything if the ground forces fail. ”
In the town of Ryan, the town is still in a state of slumber, and no one notices that the number of residents in the town is rapidly decreasing. A black shadow, with a swift figure that is difficult for ordinary people to capture, scurrying back and forth throughout the town. He kept dragging away one sleeping human after another. They were then dumped in an abandoned barn on the edge of town.
And inside the barn, the originally thin body was spreading out countless tentacles at this time, deeply piercing those innocent citizens. Flesh, life, and even soul are being extracted from far and wide. And that thin body is also rapidly plumping up in a form that is visible to the naked eye.
"Captain, something is wrong. You see, this is the town of Lane. In terms of thermal induction, the entire western part of the town is completely devoid of life feedback. This is not normal. The town of Ryan has fallen into decline though. But the town is close to this interstate, so the population hasn't been lost to this extent. ”
"Expand the scope of the search. Wait a minute, pay attention to the figure moving at high speed in the northwest corner. Lock it. ”
"We can't be sure if that's the goal. Just fire like that? ”
"Listen to my orders and fire. I will bear all the consequences. ”
Daniel was dragging a corpse back. At this moment, a deadly sense of threat hit me. Instinctively, he dodged to the side. In a short split second, hundreds of Gatling bullets tilted to where he had just been. And then the roaring gunfire finally came.
With the roar of the helicopter, Daniel saw only a few red dots shooting out of mid-air. For the first time, there was a certain panic in his eyes. He's a believer, unlike those deviants. The power of chaos in his body is a perfect fit. That's why he was able to remain in human form for a long time.
But in order to be able to maintain this form and move in the human world. Daniel couldn't add any more Chaos power. This actually means that he is not very capable. Not even as strong as those exposed distortions. This kind of military rocket actually has a lethal effect on him.
Accompanied by a violent explosion. The whole town was shaken. But at this time, the helicopter in the sky did not make any evacuating activities. Just hit all the fire and poured it on Daniel.
John was also on the helicopter as a state constable for this generation. John went up as an advisor. At this time, he was stunned by the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the commander in front of him. In the series of attacks that have just occurred, at least 10 civilians have been killed or wounded. But the other party didn't even frown, and calmly ordered to continue firing.
And when Daniel's figure burst out of the flames, limping quickly away from the scene. John's emotion turned to admiration. If you evacuate civilians or something at this time, Daniel might really run away. The commander apparently predicted this in advance.
How could the injured Daniel outrun a helicopter in the sky, with his speed greatly reduced? With the explosion of another rocket, Daniel was lifted more than a dozen meters away. Both legs were blown away. Countless tentacles, spreading out, trying to combine into new legs. But only halfway through, there was no movement. In the first wave of bombardment, Daniel had exhausted his reserves of flesh and blood, and now there was no 'energy' to regenerate his legs.
The helicopter did not give him the slightest buffer. The metal storm poured down for a full ten seconds. Tearing Daniel's entire body to shreds.
And at this time, the body in the barn seemed to sense something. At this time, its body was not very perfect. At least there is one huge flaw in the face. It's like a piece of flesh has been gouged out on the side of the face.
After Daniel's death, the body slowly opened its eyes. At that moment, all the creatures in the entire town suddenly felt a sense of oppression that was almost fatal. It seems that some kind of great horror has appeared before his eyes. The stray dogs on the side of the street just turned around and ran, like crazy trying to leave the town. The birds in the sky, as well as the insects in the trees, fell to the ground one after another. At that moment just now, they were directly killed by some kind of mental oppression.
In fact, even the people on the helicopter were greatly affected. The helicopter shook several times but could not hold it steady. In the end, there was only an emergency landing.
And as human beings, they can clearly perceive that a large and dark will has descended. The feeling of mental oppression is like a dark cloud that is extremely thick. Hung over everyone's hearts. Many people with weak willpower will even directly have the kind of suicidal thoughts of dying like this. That terrifying will is full of a strong malice towards everything in this world. It was an apostle, a high-ranking family who carried a trace of the power of the origin of chaos.
