Chapter 398: The Flames of War Rekindle (Part II)
At this time, November 11, 2020, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Bay City, Mongol Province.
It was not yet dark, but the city was already in a dark shadow under the muffled thunderstorm clouds, and the streets had long been buried in a thick layer of snow.
After the clash half a year ago, Hucheng, one of the transit points, was evacuated urgently, and it was not until recently that the government saw that the situation had passed, and the original residents were organized to return to their hometowns. For nearly 200 years, except for a small number of troops stationed here, the city was empty, and Hucheng, like other abandoned cities, did not have a trace of life.
Without care, it became dusty and overgrown, countless abandoned cars were piled up on the road and rusted in the wind and sun, and some old buildings lost maintenance and even spread cracks, like a waste city after the end of the wasteland.
Finally, Hucheng, which had been abandoned for a long time, finally recovered some of the fireworks in the world after the return of its people, but it was still in the ascendant, and it was interrupted by force - a few days ago, a thunderstorm cloud appeared in the southwest of the city, covering the sky and tens of thousands of square kilometers, although the official explanation is an unknown natural phenomenon, but once again the panic is inevitably spread in the hearts of people who have not recovered from half a year of running after returning.
Combined with what happened half a year ago, or even a year ago, all kinds of rumors of "gods descending to earth", "alien invasion", "end of the world", conspiracy theories are everywhere, protests, and crowds shouting "tell the truth" have marched in the streets to cause riots, and with the involvement of some careerists, they have even turned into riots, and there is even a lot of trouble on the Internet - of course, most of them were quickly suppressed by extraordinary times.
In the city, the reconstruction work that had not yet had time to begin was interrupted, and the order that had been restored with great difficulty turned into chaos again. Not to mention allowing millions of residents to continue to return to their hometowns, more than half of the residents who have just returned and whose butts are not yet hot have to pick up large bags and leave their hometowns again.
The city, once again, welcomed back the fate of abandonment, and the roads out of the city were crowded with endless traffic and crowds, except for the railway station, bus station, airport and other transportation hubs and the roads leading to these places, once again fell into the dead silence of the apocalypse.
The military and police and other stability maintenance forces are mainly concentrated in sensitive areas such as densely populated main roads or evacuation hubs, and there is no time to take care of other areas, and these places have now basically become areas where people go to empty buildings, and some criminal activities are staged in them, taking advantage of the chaos to steal and smash, and even simply take revenge on society for the sake of venting.
Incidents of destruction of infrastructure, arson, rape, and burning are endless.
In the chaotic city, all that remains is either outlaw criminals or beings associated with these paranormal phenomena.
Take, for example, the Evolver.
In the old city of the city, in the corner of an alley, Zhao Cheng slapped a laser eye and cut a group of thugs armed with knives, guns and sticks who touched the tiger's buttocks in two like cutting tofu.
After glancing coldly at the bloody men who had been cut in half, many of them still wailing and screaming, he turned around and walked back into the building behind him.
In the room, Lin Yuxian sat in a pile of computers, the data on the screen was flowing rapidly, Aquaman was sitting on the sofa, boredly playing with the dagger, and Mao Wei was fiddling with an exoskeleton armor that looked like an Iron Man suit. There are also Qing Ge, Meng Yan, and another Divine Source Core Evolutionary who I don't know, but has also reached level 4, and his ability is similar to the body multiplication of the Law Phase Heaven and Earth.
The three of them looked at Zhao Cheng who came back, and then looked outside, looking anxious.
"Haven't you come yet?" The young man who entered the house said, "We don't have time to deal with the pile of garbage outside, and if we don't come here, we will be found in two hours. β
Although Zhao Cheng is still dark, thin and short at this time, he is no longer the ignorant teenager who can only cry and make noise a year ago, although his face is young, he is no longer young, only calm and mature remain.
"It's coming!"
Lin Yuxian, who was also extremely anxious, said: According to the data transmitted by the deployed detection instruments, there will be abnormal movements in another 10 minutes at most......
Looking out the window, looking at the thunderstorm clouds in the distance, the hacker looked melancholy.
He said: The ugly words are ahead, this operation is more dangerous than any previous one, not to mention the front line, there are many masters in this city who can crush us, so ...... I'll ask you one last time, is there anything you don't want to go?
"If there is, it's too late to quit now, and I don't blame you, but if you go to war...... "remember the name of our organization?" Harvest ants! β
"As the leader said, ant colonies have always advanced and retreated together, coexisted and died, so once a decision has been made, no one is allowed to escape, otherwise it will ......"
Speaking viciously, Lin Yuxian pinched a teacup in his hand into pieces:
It's like this cup!
"No matter who you are and how much you have contributed to the organization, don't blame me for being polite to you when the time comes, understand!"
After the warning, everyone just looked at him quietly, and there was no response to any objections.
"No response? Well, that's no one regrets it! Lin Yuxian nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Now, let's talk about the plan again...... last."
"A few days ago, it seems that due to some unknown factors in that place, the space gate can no longer be used as it used to, so if we can contact them, we will take an anti-gravity vehicle to pick them up according to the plan...... Mao Wei! β
He named and said: Whether you can go back alive or not depends on you, and there must be no mistakes in driving, understand! β
βYES SIRοΌβ
The boy fiddling with his gear replied.
"And what if you don't get in touch?"
At this time, someone asked.
"Didn't get in touch...... Alas," Lin Yuxian couldn't help sighing, "There's no way out, I can only plan for the worst!" β
"As soon as the heresy appears, and we haven't been contacted after ten minutes, we leave the place, and when we go back, everyone joins the government...... Well, just use my matrix core to make a name! He said, "Because, we can't be like those fools in the balance, fighting for power and self-destruction of the Great Wall, without the final balance, Jiang Allen, President Leng, doctors, these strong people, those with deep potential, we can't survive in this world alone!" β
As he spoke, Lin Yuxian pointed to the thunderclouds: How dangerous this world is, look at it over there, you will understand, do you know how these thunderclouds came from? It was the level 7 super evolutionary who was entrenched in the United States and forced such a superpower to force such a superpower with the threat of lightning storms to pay tens of billions of dollars in protection money to him every year, the lightning demon!
"I don't need to tell you how horrible he is, do you? Chen Tianqian of Hong Kong City is not strong, but he is as weak as a child in front of the Lightning Demon, and the Lightning Demon is only qualified to participate in the kind of super war that destroys the world in this operation...... Listen clearly, it's just qualification! According to the grapevine, it seems that the scales and the verdict are going to be real this time, and even the ultimate forbidden equipment such as the antimatter cannon has been brought ...... I don't need to tell you how awesome that thing is, right?! β
"If today's chaos is not controlled, I estimate that the third war is coming, how many of you have the confidence to survive in this chaos?" Lin Yuxian sighed, "So, that choice is also a last resort......"
"However, at that time, what we have to do now is to bring back the chief doctor, so I still have the same words as the leader before," Lin Yuxian added, "I hope that this mission, how many people will be there when we go, and how many people will be when we come back, and I hope that each of us can go back alive and safe, and successfully bring them back to reunite together." β
That's all there is to say, there is still no response, everyone involuntarily lowered their heads, thinking melancholy about the words of Lin Yuxian, the temporary leader in the past six months.
There were only a few minutes left in the countdown, and every second of the remaining time was as long as a century, and as the clock passed by second by second, the hands of the clock finally stopped at the long-awaited time grid.
And at this time......
βBOOMοΌβ
In the distance, on the edge of the sky, in the center of the mutation, a pillar of light instantly soared straight into the sky from under the collapsed ground, and a meteor-like light flew into the sky from one of them, slashing towards the sky, until it disappeared into the edge of the sky.
During the flight, beams of energy scattered from the meteors flying at extreme speed, as if they had hit something blocking its progress, and huge nuclear explosion-like fireballs bloomed above the nine heavens, like suns hanging in the sky.
After the explosion, the debris that fell from the fireball, they caught fire, like falling meteors, pulling out a trail of flames and black smoke at least ten kilometers long.
In this scene, everyone who sees it on the ground looks sideways, and the shutter sound of the camera is followed one after another, recording the scenes that are destined to go down in history.
"Doodoo ......"
Lin Yuxian, who used his ability to feel the reactions transmitted by various instruments in the deployment and analyzed the transmitted news, suddenly became ecstatic:
"They're back!"
