Chapter 156: World of the Dead
Shanghai.
As a city that has had three spatial rifts, the Shencheng Municipal Government has rich experience in dealing with them. Therefore, when the fourth mirage crack in Shencheng appeared, the police who received the call from the citizens quickly dispatched police forces, mobilized special police, rushed to the scene with weapons, and coordinated the local army to assist in the blockade.
The Shencheng SWAT team has undergone three expansions in the past six months.
Although they had stayed behind and assigned a lot of police forces, hundreds of special police officers still arrived at the scene within half an hour. If it weren't for the fact that the crack appeared on the campus of a high school in Shencheng, these special police officers might not have been able to spread out.
At this time.
The surrounding buildings and streets were already full of special police officers with guns, ordinary policemen, and armed police soldiers wearing green camouflage uniforms who had arrived quickly.
Police cars had already cordoned off the neighborhood, and people were hiding from a relatively safe distance, with little visibility from anywhere else, except for a few people who stayed upstairs.
Police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, military vehicles, wheeled armored vehicles...... All kinds of law enforcement vehicles and special vehicles are densely packed at the scene. Countless policemen and soldiers have blocked all possible directions!
But what made so many people so close to the enemy was the cracks in the space in the campus, which were only more than two meters tall and less than four people wide, like the size of an old-fashioned courtyard gate.
Probably many uninformed people feel that this seems to be a bit of a fuss.
However...... If you add in the more than a dozen white skeletons on the playground of this high school that have been scattered by submachine guns...... Then this can be explained.
According to the division convention that is common in all countries of the world at this time...... This small mirage crack has been defined as a level 4 otherworld with both 'supernatural' and 'dangerous' natures because of the existence of these bone-like lifeforms!
Despite the fact that the world connected by the spatial rift is different, for so long. Today's governments already have some rough indicators.
Among them, according to the way the danger is divided, it can be roughly divided into a level 1 world with no danger.
A Level 2 otherworld of 'Slightly Dangerous' -- roughly corresponds to factors such as 'Slightly Dangerous Lifeforms', 'Moderately Slightly Dangerous Climates', and 'Primitive Civilizations'.
Level 3 of 'Moderately Dangerous' Alternate Worlds - roughly corresponds to 'Moderately Dangerous Lifeforms', 'Severe, Super-Severe Dangerous Climates', 'Cold Weapon Civilizations, or Mild Supernatural Civilizations'.
'Severely Dangerous' Level 4 Otherworlds - Corresponding to 'Highly Dangerous Lifeforms', 'Extreme Climates', 'Modern Civilizations, or Supernatural Civilizations'.
In addition to the division of level 1~4, there are also high-risk level 5 worlds with level 5 of 'super dangerous lifeforms', 'unsurvivable environments', 'ultra-modern civilizations, or powerful supernatural powers'.
Of course.
A level 5 or even higher danger world is still just an idea, at least at this time, the world connected by more than a thousand spatial rifts that have appeared on the earth has not yet appeared after preliminary exploration, and even a level 4 technology level has reached a modern Chengdu, or a civilized world with mature supernatural powers. Only a few worlds have been discovered that have been rated as Level 4 because they have 'highly dangerous lifeforms'.
The mirage rift where the terrifying white giant appeared in Huaguo is a typical level 4 world. It was because of the terrifying strength displayed by the giant. In the end, the Chinese military had to finally call in missiles to kill him.
The huge corpse, which was extremely tough and completely different from human in terms of genes and cells, was finally drilled by the military with a drill rig and further blasted and divided from the inside before being transported away in batches.
In addition to the 'white giant' world of China, a huge tree growing hundreds of meters high has also appeared in the desert of North Africa. A world full of huge otherworldly beasts that are not afraid of guns. It's just that the Sahara side is too dry. On the other hand, the creatures belonging to the rainforest environment will soon return to their own world, even if they occasionally come to Earth through the mirage, so so it has only caused casualties among an Egyptian army and several scientific expeditions from various countries.
In addition, there is the world of 'Skull Island' that appears in the sea in the western part of the country. The world of the Hidden Ones, which appears in the island nation, and the world of the Sun Kingdom in the Amazon rainforest, are the five worlds that have been rated as level 4 because they possess highly dangerous life forms.
The crack in the playground of this high school is not big now, but because there is a skeleton that is just a dry skeleton and can attack students, it can be judged to be at least a level 3 world with 'slight supernatural powers'. This is already the second level below level 4! How could the police in Shencheng let their guard down? What's more, the rift has only just appeared at this time, and it has not been explored, who can guarantee that this is not a world with a level 4 danger level?
Therefore, from the point of view of the lives of millions of people in this region, in fact, today's measures are not only not excessive, but in fact somewhat "conservative"!
With all forces in place, several trucks loaded with large cement piers slowly drove into the school playground.
The experience of using concrete piers or other heavy objects to temporarily seal cracks in space has long been widespread around the world.
Although heavy objects such as cement cannot really fill the spatial crack itself, it can block the exit, so as to achieve the purpose of temporarily sealing the mirage crack.
Nowadays, almost all of the three mirages inside and outside Shencheng are blocked by cement, except that instead of temporary cement piers, there are permanent reinforced concrete fortresses - built on both sides of the other world and the earth, connected by a narrow cement passage that almost fits perfectly to the edge of the rift, and in fact on the other side of the other world is an exploration outpost that will continue to grow taller and thicker in the future and operate into a giant fortress.
Workers driving forklifts began to fork the strip cement piers in the truck, and began to methodically plug the small crack.
However, as soon as the two pieces of cement were put down, everyone saw through the thick white mist of that world a swaying figure walking towards the spatial crack......
"The forklift is back! The workers hurriedly hid behind the car! The Shencheng police chief, who was commanding at the scene with a megaphone, hurriedly commanded.
The crowd quickly evacuated.
Although there is only one figure, people at this time have already understood the truth that they should not be too careful with things in the unknown world.
In this atmosphere, the swaying figure gradually passed through the spatial crack and was clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
It's a skeleton.
Although it was not the first time that the police at the scene had seen such a skeleton but still moving freely, they were still a little surprised by the magic of this supernatural power.
As in many games and novels, the skeleton is clearly not a good and orderly type, and after stepping over the crack, it staggers towards the nearest police officer.
"Knock it out!" For this kind of "life" in the other world that is swaying and unstable, the special police officers who have received a lot of training and experience are naturally not afraid.
It didn't even take a salvo for one of the officers to shoot the skull in the head with a shotgun in his hand - bang!!
The moment the skull burst into slag burst completely, the skeleton was also affected by the force and scattered on the playground floor. (To be continued......)
