Chapter 642: Magic
I can sense the breath of a living person, but I can't see a person, there must be a mystery in this, I am used to seeing strange things, and this little scene in front of me did not make me panic in the slightest.
Even if the sense of smell is wrong, the information fed back by the antenna will not be wrong, and the position given is very accurate.
If there is a problem with my eyes, then the people in the hall must have noticed me at this moment and reacted.
But I stood in the hall for a few seconds, nothing happened, no one touched me or attacked me.
Looking at the results of the antenna search, there were people in front of the four walls of the hall, and there were several rows, only the central three-square-meter area was empty, that is, where I was standing.
I chose a direction, took a few steps towards the wall, and reached out to feel the air.
As a result, there was nothing in the place where people should have been standing.
Since I can't touch it, it's not a trick, I thought of the magic that Lori said, maybe the magic researched by Tumu has been applied to the level of dividing space.
But in any case, if no one attacks me, it means that these people in the hall either can't see me or aren't guards.
Make a school weird and weird, and if it's not a mummy factory, it's certainly a secret base for another purpose.
It's just that work may have been stopped at night, and the whole building was silent, except for the rooftop and the guards of the door, the other 'invisible' people seemed to be asleep.
I can't go back empty-handed, so I choose a classroom on the second floor, sit quietly and wait for the dawn, I want to see what this mysterious invisibility technique is for.
At a quarter past three o'clock in the morning, before dawn, there was movement outside the school, and the sound was footsteps, and there were quite a lot of them.
It seemed like someone was marching in a procession, and I walked to the window of the classroom, and with half my face poked out of my head sideways, I looked at the entrance of the school.
The guards opened the school gates, and a neat line walked through the gates.
These people of different sizes, tall, short, fat and thin, men, women and children, mixed together, all looked ahead, and walked towards the school building.
At the edge of the line, there was a man wielding a thin stick that resembled fly ash and waving his arms back and forth like a conductor, except that he was not conducting an orchestra.
The width of the main door of the school building was limited, and the number of people that could be accommodated in the hall was also limited, so the 'conductor' divided a hundred people to move on, and the rest were arranged on the playground to form nine squares.
I saw that the 'conductor' was about to enter the teaching building, so I hurriedly ran to the stairwell and listened carefully to the movement in the hall.
The 'conductor' wore a brown cloak with a hat and covered his whole body tightly, as if he was going to a Halloween masquerade.
However, he is very tall, thin and tall, with a target of at least 1.9 meters, but he is hunched at the waist, and most of his face is covered by a hat, so he can't see clearly.
Judging by his figure, he should be a man, with a goatee on his exposed chin and a gray beard that reveals his age.
From my vantage point, I could only catch a glimpse of a light in the middle of the hall, in the shape of a door.
The people in the queue did not enter, but some people came out of the door-shaped light cluster, one after another, also lined up, and it was very quiet.
But when I crouched down and looked at these people, I saw that they were not people, but mummies.
And with the appearance of the mummies, the breath of the living in the hall is gradually decreasing, and when hundreds of mummies step out of the light group door, there is no trace of the living breath left in the hall.
The 'Conductor' waved his thin stick again, and the hundred humans who had just entered the hall walked towards the light.
Their figures disappeared into the light cluster one by one, and while the 'conductor' waved his arms, he also had words in his mouth, but his pronunciation was vague, as if he was muttering something in his mouth, and he couldn't hear a word clearly.
In fact, it is enough to see this scene with your own eyes, and the temporary base is indeed making mummies with ordinary people.
At this time, the guards on the rooftop came down, it should be time for the changing of the guard, and I hurriedly jumped to the classroom upstairs to avoid them.
There are still thousands of humans standing on the playground, and they have been subdued like walking corpses.
I tried to stimulate their brain waves, but unfortunately it didn't work, they were like brain-dead patients, even if the stimulation was directly applied to the brain, nothing responded.
It seems that only the 'Conductor' can wake them up, or that the damage is irreversible, and even if I were to prevent the Conductor from sending humans to the other side of the Light Cluster now, these people will not be able to wake up.
Magic is a very distant word to me, and I've seen it in cartoons or movies every time, but it's fake.
There are people who can use this skill in reality, and I have no other way to stop the caster's actions than to kill him.
But then I will be exposed, once Tumu is alerted, Long Island County does not know how many security facilities will be activated, and then I will be single-handed, and it will be difficult to grasp the victory.
Anyway, what should be confirmed has been confirmed, and I am ready to withdraw from Long Island County before dawn.
I believe that if I continue to investigate, there must be more secrets hidden on the island, and there is a lot to be studied about the information fed back by the antenna, but I can't be too greedy, there are still people waiting for me at home.
When I got out of school, I was not good, although the street lights on the streets were still half-lit and half-dim, and the city seemed to have not yet woken up from its sleep, but in the darkness, something was wandering.
They can be found on almost every street on the island, and I can only perceive them as living creatures, because they are assimilated to the night, and even if I have night vision, I can only distinguish them as strange black shadows.
Since there were so many of them and the distribution was irregular, I decided to stop jumping for a while so as not to hit them when I landed.
A high level of vigilance must be maintained for the unknown, and since they appeared, the guards and cars that used to patrol the streets have all disappeared.
In the period before dawn, like a ghostly time, the dark shadow drifts aimlessly, sometimes passing by a certain building, and stopping for a moment in front of the window on the first floor.
I'm not sure if they're peeking into the building's furnishings or admiring their 'beauty' on the glass.
These shadows didn't seep into the ground until just before the light of day, and yes, they seeped into the ground like water, disappearing without a trace.
When the first rays of sunlight break through the clouds and disperse to the sea, the mystery of Changdao County is easily removed, the buildings are still those buildings, but they lack the rendering of the night, they become dim and decadent, it is estimated that Tumu's hard work has not been spent on the exterior decoration, and Long Island in the sun looks like a desert island at all.
The sea was too exposed during the day, and I had to wait until the evening to set out, even though I had my heart set out.
I tucked away on the top floor of an abandoned building, which wasn't the tallest building in the county, but it was easy to look out at the surrounding neighborhood.
The shadow seeped into the ground, and the normal patrol team came out to patrol again, so it can be seen that the appearance of the shadow is not an accident.
All morning, I counted and counted the patrols that came and went, but I didn't see a single survivor, and the tens of thousands of survivors who had been picked up from the safe harbor camp had probably been 'consumed'.
Around noon, a helicopter landed on the beach in Long Island County, and I couldn't see exactly where it landed from my location, but an hour later, I saw a group of people passing downstairs.
The person who was escorted by the bodyguards in the middle was none other than Xie Xin, who did not take a car, but walked through the street in the direction of the county government.
I chose this building to hide because it is relatively close to the county government, and if Tumu establishes a command center on the island, there is a good chance that the county government building will be requisitioned.
I observed all morning, and there were indeed people coming and going in the county government building a lot, and Xie Xin was going there, which proved that my guess was correct.
Xie Xin came over this time, and he wanted to report that the safe harbor was attacked by white zombies, and the white zombies were only temporarily repulsed, and the loss of the mummy was actually quite a lot.
I really wanted to hear the conversation between Xie Xin and Tumu, but then I would have to go into the county government building, which was really unsafe, so I suppressed my curiosity and obediently hid on the top floor until it got dark.
However, Xie Xin didn't stay long in the county government building before she came out angrily, and I deliberately changed my position, went to the second floor of the building, and hid by the window to peep at her.
The anger on her face was obvious, it seemed that the conversation with Tumu was not very pleasant, to say that the two were sincere cooperation, I don't believe it at all.
Now that the survivors of Safe Harbor have basically been transported to Long Island, Xie Xin can only rely on Tumu if he wants to defend Safe Harbor City.
If it weren't for the two onslaughts of the white zombies, Xie Xin shouldn't have fallen into such a backstabbing situation, she gave Tumu a group of survivors, leaving a group to continue to develop.
However, the white zombies consumed too many mummies, and Tumu must have asked her for another batch of survivors to restore their 'combat effectiveness'.
After coming and going, there are not many living people left in the safe harbor, and the white zombies can't cross the sea, so they can't endanger the Long Island camp.
Speaking of which, the Safe Harbor camp has also been plagued by disasters recently, first with shapeshifters, then with aerial monsters, and now with white zombies, and the survivors who have finally been recruited from all over the world are about to die.
Suppose that Xie Xin wanted to use the power of the transformation monster from the beginning to recruit survivors from all over the world, and then she made a move to the Yellow Bird, then she was not so angry that she saw the situation develop to this point?
What I didn't expect was that Xie Xin was angry, but he was not taken away by Tumuqi, because the straightening machine did not rise again.
Seeing the glow staining the sea of red clouds, I finally stayed up until dusk, thinking that I would return as soon as it was dark, but I never expected that after nightfall, Long Island County would stage a lively drama.
Of course, Xie Xin was indispensable to the participants, and she gathered a group of people out of nowhere to attack Long Island at night.
The helper invited by Xie Xin was definitely not an ordinary person, and he used a cannonball to collapse the county government building at the beginning.
The shells can all hit the shore, I don't believe that Tumu didn't find it, are those drones/planes like mung bean flies vegetarian?
