Chapter 243: Threats beyond the Abyss
When Chen Sheng decided to give himself a good vacation.
The eternal day is still running steadily.
For the time being, there are no Abyssal Rifts or large-scale Abyssal Invasions.
The Abyss Believers were also massively cleaned up by Chen Sheng when he owned the Boundary Monument.
But that doesn't mean that eternal day can be idle.
It's about the Awakened and ordinary human crimes.
Eternal Day can still be busy for this.
However, this level of busyness is just a matter of sprinkling water for today's eternal day.
As long as there were no abyss-related things, Chen Sheng didn't even need to let go of the perception that could easily cover half of the solar system now.
Leave it all to the Eternal Day, which has now grown strong enough.
It's not just trust, it's also a workout.
The world is still running smoothly as usual.
It was just when Chen Sheng put away his perception and was busy teaching the students of Dawn Academy.
On top of an island nation.
Quietly there was a crisis.
…………
A blue fluffy exploding head.
It's so eye-catching everywhere.
However, Luke, who is highly artistic, believes that these gazes of passers-by are just envy of him.
Find a bar to sit at.
Luke ordered a bottle of the country's signature wine.
Take a sip and feel the cool liquor and silky smoothness, the air-mixed liquor tumbling slightly on the tip of the tongue before reaching the throat.
Gorgeous burst of aromas similar to melon, cantaloupe, and apple......
Luke had to admit.
In a way, sake is surprisingly similar to white wine.
In terms of how critical he is.
I have to admit that this one doesn't taste bad.
Putting down his glass and looking around, he wasn't too conspicuous here.
That's why he subconsciously chose to be here.
Here, there are many people from all over the world who are clearly from all over the world.
His blue exploding head was conspicuous, but it didn't seem so strange here.
There are people who are silent, and there are people who talk loudly.
Luke knew what these people were here for.
Among them are tourists, journalists, Internet celebrities, and agents of small countries.
It can only be said that the identity is so messy that it is difficult to explain clearly.
Although more than half a year has passed since the Godzilla incident.
Although no paparazzi can completely escape the detection of radar, satellites, and infrared. No journalist can break through the naval blockade line of the combined fleet of multinational aircraft carriers, and no Internet celebrity can sneak in from the land where the United Forces of various countries are stationed.
But......
The curiosity of people around the world is never-ending.
Even though more than half a year has passed since the Godzilla incident, most people have habitually returned to their daily lives.
However, the impact of that incident could not be completely eliminated in half a year.
This tiny island nation.
In the past six months, too many people have come one after another.
They all want to know the details of Godzilla's events.
Even if the core area cannot be approached because of the joint blockade of the four countries.
People still come.
Such a crowd rushed here one after another, so that after the Godzilla incident, due to the mass change of public opinion and officials, the Japanese economy collapsed.
Miraculously and slowly warmed up.
Just selling Godzilla dolls is enough to support a multi-billion dollar market.
Not to mention the added economy that comes with so many tourists from all over the world.
And Luke was in this group.
It can also be said to be a special one.
It can be seen from the easel canvas he was carrying and the brush grip sticking out of the blast head.
He is an eclectic painter.
To be precise, he is an eclectic, non-mainstream wandering painter.
He's here for the same purpose as the artists who come here to check in – he actually wants to be extraordinary.
He cares.
It is an occasional picture of a sinkhole circulating on the Internet.
In the past six months, the joint security of the four countries has been much weaker, and some pictures of the areas they have blocked can occasionally be seen on the Internet.
According to the occasional images circulating on the Internet, a small group of people who are still keen to pursue the truth about Godzilla have made all kinds of speculations.
Eventually, it can be determined.
This is where Godzilla last arrived in the news, where Japan was preparing to discharge nuclear wastewater.
Now only a sinkhole filled with seawater remains.
The inky blue and black color makes anyone who sees it not doubt its depth in the slightest.
No one knows what's going on there.
Luke didn't know, but he felt that there was a good chance that he had something to do with the extraordinary.
Or there is a high probability that it is caused by the transcendent.
I still remember more than a year, almost two years ago.
He'd seen two transcendent events.
The first was in the taiga outside the town of Taos, near the San Cristto Mountains.
In the early hours of the morning, he packed up his tools and left the town of Taos in the middle of the night to paint in the taiga near the San Cristto Mountains.
The private estate there was not allowed to be approached, so he simply found a place to paint on the outskirts of the taiga.
Then, a succession of explosions and the roar of some kind of beast were heard.
The roar of that kind of monster is definitely not something that any known creature can emit, and just listening to it makes people can't help but feel fear.
Then, there was a calm.
He wanted to leave in a panic, but he couldn't move his frightened steps outside the dense forest.
Until dawn came, a pillar of golden light rose up to the sky, and infinite warmth suddenly surged into the heart, making people forget their fear.
Along with it came the scream of the monster. He could hear the fear in the scream.
It's as if the monster knows that he is facing a god that he knows is invincible but can't escape, and he can only let out a weak scream.
After that, he also experienced being questioned by the official occult services, and then ended the interrogation soon because he really didn't know more details.
Luke was very impressed by this experience.
The second time was a painting in Taostown.
He painted an expressive portrait of a passer-by with a good temperament.
Then it is said that because of the word "Eternal Sun" on the painting, he was called again shortly after returning home from the official special department.
It took a long time to interrogate before being released.
Even so, because he had been involved in many extraordinary events, he was included in the supervision plan of the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau for a long time afterward.
It was only in the recent period that he finally completely ruled out his connection with the extraordinary, slowed down the supervision of him, and even allowed him to enter and leave freely.
Both of these involve otherworldly events.
As soon as Luke finished his surveillance program, he immediately decided to look around for the otherworldly.
Bring the guy who draws his own.
His first stop was Japan, the place where the Godzilla incident took place.
In this town closest to the blockade.
He paused.
Looking around, drinking wine, discussing how to sneak into the official blockade of various people.
Luke slowly savoured the sake in his glass.
Think about what you should do next.
This side is already the closest inhabited place near the blockade line.
It's not uncommon to hear talk about sneaking into the blockade.
Bribe the soldiers of Shikoku on the blockade line.
Take a risk and try to sneak through the blockade.
Various methods of discussion passed through Luke's ears.
However, most of them are not very practical, or there are no specific courses of action.
Obviously, what these people are talking about in the bar is just empty talk, and none of them are going to say anything practical here.
Luke wasn't in a hurry about it.
Opportunities aren't always available.
He still has a lot of time to pursue the transcendental, and he also has a lot of time to find a way to infiltrate the blockade and see the sinkhole that is rumored to exist on the Internet.
Thinking, Luke looked at the roll around his waist.
Inside, there is also a portrait of him drawn by himself.
It was another portrait with the word "Eternal Sun" on it.
He didn't just paint a picture for the temperamental Oriental.
One of them was taken away as evidence by the Anomalous Countermeasures Bureau, while the other was never told to anyone about its existence.
His instincts told him.
The only thing in him that might have something to do with the transcendent might help him at a critical time.
If you really can't find the transcendent.
Luke felt that perhaps he could also put the painting on public display, perhaps attracting transcendents who knew the people and characters in the painting.
Of course.
It is likely that it will attract the departments of secular countries for the management of extraordinary events.
So.
Luke does not plan to show the portrait for the time being.
At least it won't be easily exposed.
With that in mind, he took another sip of the wine.
It wasn't until he bottomed out that he got up and left the bar.
Next.
He was going to take a look around the area close to the blockade line and familiarize himself with the general terrain.
Although he wasn't going to break in or sneak in unwisely.
But there's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
What if you need it one day?
While thinking nonsense.
Luke slowly came to the edge of the town, which had been bustling with excitement for exploring Godzilla's events.
He chose a random direction and walked all the way to a slightly higher point on the edge of the town.
Standing here on a taller rock.
You can see the barren road stretching into the distance.
Then you can faintly see patrolling soldiers and a long line of checkpoints.
This is a relatively strict blockade.
Although at first glance there is no heavy firepower.
But there is a large expanse of open ground nearby.
It means that anyone who intends to approach has nothing to try to approach in the bunker.
If you want to get close to the checkpoint, you can see it clearly from a distance of a few hundred meters.
Sneaking in from this direction is obviously impossible.
As for forcible break-in, it is even more impossible.
Although the strength of the four-nation joint aircraft carrier group in the nearby waters has weakened, there is still a formation loitering nearby.
As long as you dare to break in.
It will be covered by the firepower of the aircraft carrier formation, which will definitely arrive within 30 minutes.
And although this blockade line doesn't seem to have any heavy firepower stationed, who knows if there will be a main battle tank group parked on the opposite side of the blockade line that can't get close and can't really be seen!
Look at the blockade with your own eyes.
Luke realized how serious the attitude of the four countries that had jointly blockaded this place was.
It seems that we can only try it in another direction.
Tomorrow I'll take a look at another blockade near the forest.
Think so.
Luke plans to go home for the time being, and rest for a while at the hotel where he has come to his feet.
It's just that I haven't waited for the camera to take pictures of the surrounding scenes.
Gunshots rang out from afar.
Frightened, Luke subconsciously shuddered, and immediately looked in the direction of the blockade.
And the gunshot was like a signal.
The next moment was the incessant rain of bullets.
Densely connected.
This pure catharsis of fire is definitely not a drill.
Apparently in the direction of the blockade line of the combined armies of the four countries, something went wrong!
Luke tried to look far away.
Also try to adjust the focus with your phone and camera.
However, all you could see was the sand and dust rising from the other side of the blockade.
It's like there's some big guy rolling over there.
A strong curiosity arises.
Luke really wanted to go there at the moment.
But the gunfire that didn't stop made him hesitate.
It's obviously a big monster there.
There was no movement after so many bullets were poured, and if he had passed, he would have not known how he would have died.
It's just that the transcendent he wants to pursue seems to be right in front of him, which makes him hesitate.
The next moment.
A violent explosion was heard in the distance.
The fire was set off in the dust.
This was followed by a series of explosions, and the firepower escalated instantly.
The shockwave tore through the dust for a moment.
Luke's eyes widened as he tried to see what was going on there in the blockade.
Huge and narrow body.
Part of it was revealed at this moment.
Section by section is like a caterpillar-like existence, wantonly showing a sense of existence.
Obviously, this is not a caterpillar.
There are no caterpillars in the world that are nearly 100 meters long.
Its segmented body was ring-shaped, with randomly distributed barbs on its skin.
and the bloody mouth with a circle of fangs at the end of the body, which makes people chill the moment they see it.
Such an image resembles the death worm in countless film and television fantasy works.
Luke couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and forcibly stopped all thoughts of getting closer.
Fear filled his heart at this moment.
Any pursuit of the transcendent thoughts, at this moment became vanished.
Although he had experienced transcendental events before, he had never seen transcendental monsters so clearly.
And when he saw it with his own eyes at the moment.
He understood one thing.
Sometimes, it's better to be a little more restrained in your curiosity.
The countless bullets could only spark on the skin of the Death Worm.
The explosions only made the death worm shake, and not even a trace could be left.
Face such a monster.
Staying away is the best option.
That's what Luke thought, so he didn't hesitate to turn around and run.
To speed things up.
Except for the roll with a painting on his waist, most of his bags were decisively discarded.
Merely......
It seems that there is more life in the direction he is in.
The monster that had suddenly appeared and raged within the blockade.
Suddenly, it was coming in Luke's direction.
The loud movement made Luke subconsciously glance back, and when he saw the Death Worm coming towards him, he wished to have one more pair of legs.
It's a pity.
There was an empty and long distance between him and the blockade.
For a dead worm, it doesn't seem like a long distance.
It didn't take long.
The loud sound of grinding against the ground and crushing earth and rocks as you move is already close at hand.
