Chapter 142: A Multiple Choice Question
When he learned that he was going on a mission to Mui Ne, Ren Yingda was excited.
The tourist city of Mui Ne is home to a long coastline, lively fishing villages and coconut waves.
Every day, after completing the task of rescuing the people assigned by Yong Day, he would take some time to drag his tired body to the edge of the white sand dunes.
After all, Mui Ne's main attraction is the huge sand dunes, white dunes, red sand dunes and the red rivers of the very special karst formation.
On this coastal peninsula, it is very pleasant to feel the flow of sand and the swaying of tropical plant leaves.
But such thoughts did not last long.
As a peripheral member of Eternal Day, and the more elite kind of peripheral members, he has a super high welfare package, but he also has to shoulder a ridiculously busy task.
For those surrounding people who were fooled by the tsunami and came to evacuate, he distributed materials and coordinated personnel as a volunteer.
He is often busy for almost the whole day, not to mention going to enjoy the scenery, and even the time to sleep and eat is barely enough.
Fortunately, he is also an elite who has been to Dawn Academy, although he failed because of various assessment results, but he has also received a period of extraordinary training and learning.
It's bearable for the busyness of these days.
But it didn't take a few days to spin like this.
The higher-ups have a new mission: to assist in the investigation of suspicious persons (bomb-related).
It is said that someone carried out a bomb attack on Mui Ne.
Ren Yingda has seen some suspicious people who often carry some suspicious packages these days, so he reported relevant clues to his superiors.
He didn't pay attention to what happened after that, and heard that Marlowe, who was in charge of everything on Mui Ne, had led the Mobile Task Force to catch the bombers.
And then it's a busy day.
and the sudden and endless darkness.
The darkness came silently, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
The darkness was so long, so long that Ren Yingda couldn't remember how long it had been.
It was like a dream with no end.
There is no busy work, no nagging brother, no irritable mood in the dream......
In his dream, he passed the assessment of Dawn Academy.
He didn't feel like he wanted to wake up.
But a sudden sharp pain and the smell of blood still woke him up suddenly.
Open your eyes.
There was a blood-red sky, a blood-red opaque barrier, like a large bowl upside down.
This dark color combined with a sense of closure made Ren Yingda swallow his saliva and feel a kind of depression and fear from the heart.
Looking around, I saw that it was a forest.
Countless human beings are neatly placed on the ground.
It's just that at this moment, countless trees have collapsed, and a large number of humans lying there with their eyes closed are buried without saying a word.
The rich smell of blood permeated the tip of the nose.
After a moment of silence, Ren Yingda looked at his left arm.
I saw a huge tree fall down and smash there, and his arm seemed to have been crushed into minced meat, which was the sharp pain that woke him up.
Although he no longer feels pain because of the adrenal factors at this moment, Ren Yingda feels that he still has a faint phantom pain and fear.
It's just a little bit of it.
As long as the position of the giant tree fell a few centimeters away, then he may end up like those who fell to the ground, unknowingly going to death in his sleep.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately got up and sat down, having received some professional training from the Eternal Day Peripheral Organization.
He was a person who had participated in the enrollment of Eternal Day and Dawn Academy, and although he was eliminated in the end, he was also a lot more elite than ordinary peripheral members.
He calmly tore off a part of his clothes as a strip of cloth, and simply bandaged and processed his left arm, which had disappeared for a while.
After making sure that he would not die in a short time, he pulled out the special injection equipped with the tissue around his waist and injected it to himself.
In an instant, he felt that he was a hundred times more energetic, and his whole body seemed to have endless strength.
This is a special injection issued by the eternal day, and it can hang your life at a critical moment.
"So now, it's time to see what's going on."
Ren Yingda slowly stood up.
The sudden loss of an arm made him feel that he was a little unaccustomed to walking for a while.
After quickly getting used to this feeling.
He began to take a serious look at the picture around him that was completely wrong.
First of all, there is a blood-red barrier above his head, faintly emitting a blood-red light, illuminating this land from night and day, it seems that he should have encountered an extraordinary event.
He was not inferior in rank among the members of the Eternal Day's periphery, and he was not as ignorant of the transcendent as the lowest-ranking peripheral members.
He was sure that there was a deep, disgusting fluctuation of spiritual power in this oppressed feeling.
This is undoubtedly an extraordinary event!
Secondly, my position is still on Mui Ne. Having been busy everywhere on Mui Ne before, he had some impressions of this forest.
Extrapolating from this, the blood-red barrier in the sky must have had a blocking effect, so that a large number of unconscious civilians here were not transported away, but could only be temporarily placed in this forest.
"But since it's still on Mui Ne, there should be quite a few people in the organization."
"I remember that dozens of students from Dawn Academy have come here."
"How did it get to this terrible state?"
Ren Yingda thought about it and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The surrounding situation is bad or light.
If you look around, you will see that these scenes are simply horrific.
A large number of unconscious people were neatly laid out on the ground, apparently transported here.
Combined with his own experience of being in a coma, Ren Yingda felt that it might be those bigwigs in the eternal day who transported their unconscious people here, and this should most likely be to avoid some disaster?
It's just that now disaster may be on the way.
A large number of trees in the forest seemed to have been destroyed by some great force, and large swaths of them collapsed in a fan-like shape, crushing many unconscious people to death.
Some were smashed in two, some were smashed right in the head, and some even had their organs squeezed out by the fallen trees......
The countless casualties around made Ren Yingda, who was looking around, breathe a little faster for a while.
It is impossible for Eternal Day to let these ordinary people go unchecked, and the fact that they are all in a coma is transported to one place to settle in one place.
But at this moment, this terrible scene did not make them appear, indicating that they should have fallen into some difficult situation to get out of.
Walking over to a campfire that had been set up and looking at the flames that were still burning, Ren Yingda knew that the members of Eternal Day, who had brought them here, hadn't been gone for long.
As long as you find them, you can find out what happened when he was unconscious. And maybe see if we can help them.
Silent, Ren Yingda was about to continue searching for clues around him, and a sense of urgency came from his keen intuition.
Without hesitation, he fell to the ground.
The next moment, a bolt of lightning poured down in the distant sky.
In just an instant, the white shock wave generated by the compressed air swept over, and large swaths of trees shook again and fell to the ground.
Then, a loud sound of a slow step came with the shock wave, and Ren Yingda, who was shocking, felt as if his eardrums were about to burst.
The humming sound takes over the hearing.
This made Ren Yingda slow down for a long time.
As he slowly stood up with one arm propped up, he could see clouds of smoke rising in the distance in the shape of mushrooms.
Such a huge movement made him breathe for a while.
……………………………………
Behind the huge cloud of smoke, two deformed monsters made of countless flesh and blood slowly appeared.
On its blood-red muscular textured exterior, eyes, fingers, and internal organs can be seen...... All sorts of flesh and blood are put together in a big ball.
The law of smoke and no harm is always so accurate.
The two monsters obviously looked like they were just a mass of human flesh and blood, but at this moment, they seemed so indestructible.
Looking at the monster that was not injured, Philip, who was holding Thor's hammer, couldn't help but turn dark.
Many of the students behind him also had gloomy faces.
These two monsters were two of the terrifying beings summoned by the previous flesh ritual.
Their strength is extremely strong, their spiritual power level is almost at the peak of level 1, and they also have an extremely outrageous level of defense.
With the strength of Philip's level 2 spiritual power, lightning bombardment on them was of little use.
For the past ten days, the fifty Dawn Academy students on Mui Ne Island have been hiding, trying to avoid fighting these five roaming monsters.
After all, the entire island was full of ordinary people who suddenly fainted, and only those who had spiritual power in their bodies remained awake.
Therefore, struggle is not the main purpose of these Dawn Academy students.
Efforts to preserve civilians have become a top priority.
Relying on the five flesh monsters roaming around seemed to have no eyesight, the fifty Dawn Academy students ran around as if they were fighting guerrilla warfare.
They concentrated the ordinary people who fainted everywhere in three places as much as possible, and then gave them unified nutritional supplements and care.
In the process, many people died from physical injuries caused by sudden fainting, direct death caused by fainting near monsters, and dying of thirst and starvation in a coma after not being discovered for too long......
There were many sacrifices, and the most of them were the members of the Eternal Day Periphery who were in charge of guarding and isolating those flesh rituals, because they were killed by the monsters that appeared directly after fainting because they were attached to the face of the flesh ritual.
In this regard, everyone has no time to remember and mourn.
There are only 51 awake manpower, which is very small in the face of tens of thousands of survivors who need to be transferred.
They quickly joined forces and immediately went into action, not sleeping for ten days in a row.
They must race against time to go where the monsters have not gone and bring back the unconscious.
The process was not smooth, but it managed to save most of the people as much as possible.
Until today, something finally happened.
Usually, many Dawn Academy students look for someone to rescue them in groups of two, to see if there are any survivors who can be saved.
The more elite five Dawn Academy students went to find the monsters, and were responsible for sneaking the five flesh monsters away, trying to guide them to a meaningless route.
But today, two of the monsters that used to act clumsy and have no sight, at this moment, suddenly ignored the person who went out to seduce.
Marlo, who is in charge of sneaking monsters, can't stop it at all with his physical body.
Perhaps it was the proximity to the large number of people in the forest that gave them a qualitative improvement in their perception. Maybe it's something that changed after the two monsters got closer, so that the perception increased.
In short, the two monsters came straight for the crowd gathered in the forest like wild horses, ignoring any traps laid along the way.
And there are about 7,000 unconscious survivors gathered in this forest, and the students of the Dawn Academy stationed here on patrol will naturally not let the monsters come.
Without hesitation, they rushed up to stop it.
They have been trying to avoid war, save people, and delay time, and they have to start a big war at this moment.
In the face of the flesh monsters at the peak of level 1, they were seriously injured almost by rubbing, but they had no choice but to use their physical bodies to delay time as much as possible.
It wasn't until Philip, who was far away from the other two gathering places, that the two monsters were finally blown away from the forest by two thunderbolts.
Then it's time to start the battle again.
"Philip, we can't fight a little bit, we have to continue to evacuate the survivors."
Marlowe clutched his chest, which seemed to have collapsed, and said to Philip beside him.
The two monsters in front of them were not injured, and after being knocked away, they slowly walked towards here again like nothing.
This kind of battle that cannot be broken cannot be fought at all.
It is still necessary to follow Philip's previous decision and take the survivors out of the war as much as possible.
"I'm afraid it's difficult to evacuate this time, the two monsters are simply staring at those survivors with a clear goal."
Philip sighed, his face full of seriousness.
"What do you say it's hard to evacuate?! Leaving them here is undoubtedly waiting for death. ”
"You know, those flesh monsters will devour all flesh!"
Marlowe said, a flash of grief on his face.
The few members of the perimeter who had gone with him to the warehouse to watch over the flesh ritual were melted into minced flesh by the monster in front of him.
Their painful expressions before they died, Marlowe remembered them deeply.
Before going to the warehouse on a mission, he made an appointment with one of them to go for a drink.
But now......
In the face of Marlowe's suggestion, Philip's reaction was that he couldn't help but be silent.
"There's no way around it anymore."
Philip took a deep breath and looked at his teammates behind him, who were still holding on to their feet even though they were injured, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Why can't I do it?"
"Do you mean?!"
Marlowe frowned, a little unsure of Philip's lack of confidence at the moment.
"The companions of the other two gathering places said in the temporary spiritual communication channel that the other three monsters are on their way."
"Five monsters are coming in an encirclement."
"And with the sudden evolution of their perception, they can no longer be walked by us like before, and they go straight to crowded places."
"How many more people can we take out before they're completely encircled?"
Philip calmly elaborated on the current situation.
The reason why so many people were able to evacuate before to save them was because the monster's perception ability was not good, and there was enough time for them to spin around.
Not anymore.
Five monsters surround it, and after the perception ability soars, they only recognize places with a lot of people, and they will not be easily attracted by their tricks.
Moreover, they only had less than twenty people near the forest, and they could not evacuate many people at all in such a short time.
At this moment, it seems that the only way to give up these 7,000 people is to give up.
It is to reserve the strength to take some people out and then give up most of the seven thousand.
Or is it a fight to the death here?
This question of whether to give up or not made Marlowe understand the reason for Philip's silence, and he couldn't help but be silent because of it.
