Chapter 6: The Catastrophe Strikes

December 28, 2015

7:20 a.m

Military Training Base of South District of S City, Office of Political Commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces

Zhao Youcheng stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his face gloomy, and his eyebrows were mixed with a heavy look of worry.

Outside, the chilling rain of blood had stopped, but as far as the eye could see, it was already a barren and bleak color.

It's unimaginable that overnight, all the green and vibrant flowers and plants that used to grow well outside have turned into rotten branches and leaves, and even the towering trees have become lifeless withered trunks.

The blood-colored sky, the endless red mist, the withered and decaying ecological environment, the whole heaven and earth, as if shrouded in a dead air.

This apocalyptic atmosphere is so oppressive that people are almost out of breath.

"What the hell is wrong with this world?"

"Has the limit of humanity really arrived?"

Zhao Youcheng's eyes showed a little confusion and pain, and finally smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.

He turned to his desk and picked up a thick stack of files.

With each page, his hands trembled slightly.

These files are all soldiers who died of illness in their military training base after the outbreak of the Red Mist Virus.

However, in five days, the battalion of their southern military training base had a total of 491 soldiers, and they had lost more than one-third of their reserve elites.

A full hundred and seventy-three!

Among them are experienced veterans, but more often are new recruits who are in the mood for love and full of ideals, and they are all the hope for the future of the motherland.

But they all died, one after the other.

Zhao Youcheng watched those old comrades-in-arms and energetic recruits who had shared the ups and downs die in front of him one by one, and at that moment, he wished that he could bear the torture of illness on their behalf and die on their behalf.

In the past five days and five nights, his hair has turned white, as if he has aged ten years.

He didn't know how he had come here, or how to explain it to their loved ones.

Whenever he thought of the helpless and desperate faces that had passed away, Zhao Youcheng's heart ached faintly, and his eyes moistened.

In particular, at this moment, there are still more than a dozen soldiers who are also infected with the Red Mist Virus and whose life and death are uncertain in the infirmary room of the base, and maybe in the next second, there will be bad news.

Worried, he put down the stack of files in his hand and left the commissar's office, intending to visit the soldiers infected with the red mist virus, and on the way, he forced himself to smile.

He must not let the already miserable warriors see their sad side, but encourage them to have hope and live strongly.

But after taking a few steps, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front, and I saw that at the corner of the road, a soldier of a reconnaissance company rushed out quickly, and when he saw him, he immediately shouted: "Political commissar, it's not good!" Brother Zhang, they, they..."

Zhao Youcheng's heart sank: "Is it Xiao Zhang, are they sick?" ”

"No, he, they, have become monsters!" The Scout's face was frightened, his breath was short, his voice was shaking, and his eyes were wide as if he had seen something incredible.

"What?" Zhao Youcheng's face was stunned, and he was about to ask clearly, when at this moment, a loud roar came from the direction of the infirmary, and listening to that sound was like hearing a beast roaring angrily, and it was terrifying to hear.

Immediately, the gunshots rang out!

It was mixed with the panicked and anxious shouts of the soldiers.

"What the hell is going on?!" Zhao Youcheng shouted angrily, with an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

"I—I don't know, they got that rain of blood, they were fine last night, but in the morning, they're going to be monsters...", the young scout kept shaking his head, his eyes full of horror.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Youcheng didn't ask any more questions, and quickly ran towards the scene of the incident.

The young scout hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and followed.

……

Meanwhile, on the street outside Richview Garden in the Southern District, a young man and woman stepped out of a van with microphones and camera tools in hand.

Their outfits suggest that they are two professions: journalists and videographers.

"Okay, yes, here it is."

The female reporter took the microphone and glanced at the sparsely populated street, looking a little nervous.

"Xiaowei, we really don't want to be here, it's too dangerous, especially for you... Now those people infected with the red fog virus are crazy and can do everything. The male videographer said with an uneasy expression.

"Allah Allah, this is a rich area, and there are troops patrolling 24 hours a day, so we'll just stay for a while anyway." The female reporter said as she cautiously watched around, obviously a little wrong.

"Alas, it's up to you, which time didn't let you drag it into the water." The male photographer said helplessly.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of a girl, what are you afraid of? Even if there is danger? The wind comes and the fire goes, we should have such an awareness when we do news, otherwise where will the news come from? The female reporter smiled, revealing her white and neat teeth.

"Well, I can't tell you, hurry up and get started." The male videographer set up his tools, made an OK gesture, and started filming.

Holding the microphone firmly, the female reporter showed a serious expression and said loudly:

"Audience friends, the place I am in now is No. 4 Street of Midtown Avenue in Fujing Garden, South District, you can see that after a bloody rain last night, the ecological environment here has been seriously damaged, and there is almost no grass..."

"According to local citizens, at around 8:30 a.m. yesterday morning, a man of unknown origin had a fierce battle with dozens of soldiers here with his bare hands, and his life and death are still unknown-"

"Xiaowei, wait a minute!" The male cameraman suddenly put down the camera tool and pointed behind the female reporter, his eyes uncertain.

"What's wrong?"

The female reporter glared at the male cameraman dissatisfiedly, then turned around, and then couldn't help but show surprise on her pretty face.

A hundred meters away from the street, a large group of citizens ran towards them.

At first, it was just a few dozen people, but as if it was contagious, hundreds of people poured out of the alleys and gathered together.

Everyone looked frightened, even shouting, as if some wild beast was chasing them behind.

In such a frenzied escape, people pushed and collided with each other, some fell to the ground, and the people behind stepped on it directly, but no one stopped to rescue.

Oh!!!

A loud roar came from far away from the end of the street, with a terrifying ferocity.

Faintly, the two of them could catch a tall and strong black figure approaching quickly, and everywhere they went, the screams came and went, and it was terrifying to hear.

The female reporter was stunned!

"Why are you still standing, run!"

The male cameraman reacted first, because the distance was too far, and the red fog in the sky blocked, he didn't see what was doing wrong, but it was definitely not a good thing to see the panicked reaction of many citizens.

So he immediately grabbed the camera in one hand and the female reporter in the other, and ran towards the van that had taken them when he came.

What is infuriating is that the van driver didn't wait for them, started the car and ran away!

"I'm Fack!" The male videographer scolded angrily as he pointed to the van that was heading away

"Ah Cheng, what is that?" The female reporter's face turned pale and she pointed behind her and shouted.

"Whatever, run!" The male cameraman pulled the female reporter and ran into an alley next to the street.

But just as they were about to run out of the alley, there was a sudden sound of dull footsteps in front of them.

Soon, a huge black figure strode into the alley, blocking them like an iron tower, and their vision became dim.

“MYGOD…”

The female reporter and the male videographer gasped at the same time, looking up at the terrifying creature in front of them.

It was a giant nearly a foot tall, covered in black air, with a hideous and vicious face, blood-red pupils, thick arms like buckets, ten fingertips as long as sharp blades, and a tyrannical and ferocious aura.

It is no longer possible to describe this giant creature in front of me in terms of people, it is simply like a humanoid beast!

Targeted at by its cold and ferocious blood pupils, the two of them shivered all over their bodies, like falling into an ice cave.

"Ah Cheng, what should I do..."

The female reporter held the male cameraman's hand tightly, her face was pale, and her feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..." The male cameraman held the slightly cold little hand of the female reporter with his backhand, his lips were dry, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suddenly raised the camera in his hand, and threw it at the humanoid beast fiercely-

"Run!!"

The male videographer shouted, grabbed the female reporter's small hand, and ran frantically towards the way he came.

Oh!

The humanoid beast roared, its blood pupils soared, its muscles bulged out, and it suddenly took a step.

Step on! Step on! Step on!

In just three steps, it crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and in a blink of an eye, it caught up with the two people who were desperately fleeing in front, and the blood pupils came out with an excited and violent light, condescendingly, and slapped down on the top of the heads of the two with one claw!

The fishy wind hit, and at the moment of life and death, the male photographer actually pushed the female reporter hard to get her out of the attack range of the humanoid beast, but he was hit by a giant palm head-on, and the whole person flew out sideways, slammed into the wall of the alley, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot!

"Ahh

The female reporter staggered to the ground and screamed in panic when she saw this scene.

"Run! Leave me alone! ”

The humanoid beast chased after him, and the male photographer, who had been seriously injured, didn't know where to get the strength, and pounced hard, hugging the giant leg of the humanoid beast.

Enraged, the humanoid beast raised its legs and kicked it against the wall.

Blood splattered!

"No!"

The female reporter hugged her head, unable to accept this scene.

"Quick... Fast... Run..."The bloodied male photographer was still clinging to the giant legs of the humanoid beast, but he was already dying.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The female reporter got up, covered her mouth and ran out of the alleyway, and in her mind, the scene of the male photographer confessing to her half a year ago suddenly appeared, and tears blurred her eyes instantly.

Behind her, the humanoid beast roared furiously, and the walls crashed violently into each other.

The female reporter didn't dare to imagine that picture, she just ran wildly, fell and got up again, and there was only one belief in her mind: I can't die, I can't let Ah Cheng die in vain!

Heaven favored, she finally ran out of this terrible alley, and the open streets were full of panicked and fleeing citizens.

On the road to the right, in the same direction, there was a fierce gunshot, and there were screams, loud collisions, and the angry roars of humanoid beasts, all of which made her tremble and feel at a loss.

On the left side of the road, two armored vehicles came out of the flow of people, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers pointed their black muzzles at her.

"Get down!!"

One of the officers yelled.

The female reporter reflexively prostrate on the ground, clutching her head.

The next moment, the gunfire was loud!

Behind her, the humanoid beast that had been chased from the alley was instantly hit by numerous bullets, letting out an angry and tyrannical roar.

In the dense gunfire, its black palm the size of a fan was blocked in front of its head, and the other big hand was blocked in front of its chest, constantly retreating and dodging, its body was so flexible that it was not like words, and a small number of bullets fell on its heavy leather armor, leaving only a pea-sized dent, but it could not hurt it at all.

This scene made the hearts of the soldiers on the opposite side completely cold.

Oh!!!

The humanoid beast jumped to the back of a Volkswagen sedan, grabbed the body with both hands, and lifted it up and threw it at the location of the army.

"Spread out!"

The officer screamed in horror.

Bang!

The Volkswagen sedan collided with the armored car driven by the soldiers, sparks flew everywhere.

"Quick! Launch the rocket artillery! The dusty officer roared angrily.

Shout! Shout!

In the billowing smoke of gunpowder, two flames shot out, hitting the location of the humanoid beast in the blink of an eye.

Rumble! Rumble!

In the loud explosion, the flames soared into the sky, the rubble burst out, and the dust filled all directions.

"Success?"

The grizzled female reporter hid behind a withered tree trunk on the side of the road, looking apprehensively at the distant location hit by rocket launchers.

All the soldiers stared at the place in the same way, praying in their hearts: the monster is dead, it must be dead!

Click-pong!

In the thick dust and smoke, the humanoid beast stood up from the collapsed rubble, a pair of bloody pupils flashing with a ferocious light.

There was already a bowl-sized wound on the left side of its chest, and a large amount of ink-like blood was leaking, and this terrible scene only made it seem even more violent, completely shocking everyone.

How can it be?!

Can't kill it?!

Including the female reporter, all the soldiers and soldiers present and the citizens who were watching around couldn't help but feel a wave of despair in their hearts.

Oh!!!

The humanoid beast roared in the sky, as if to vent its anger, and as if to show everyone how powerful and terrifying it was.

But at this moment-

Shout!

The sound of breaking wind suddenly rose, and a silver arrow light tore through the air, as if it was a meteor from outside the sky, and instantly hit the head of the humanoid beast.

To be precise, it must have hit its left eye.

It's so fast!

No one could react.

Even if it's a humanoid beast, that's no different. 、

Its skull, the size of a watermelon, had been pierced through the left eye by a sharp silver arrow, piercing the back of the head.

The blood pupil on its right flickered, then quickly dimmed.

And its huge and heavy body fell to the sky.

Disheveled!

This muffled sound also knocked heavily on the hearts of everyone present.
