Chapter 66: The unexpected fog
In the last three days, Meng Chao slightly strengthened his existing skills and exchanged for a "primary healing technique" to heal all hidden injuries, but did not unlock any new skills.
The current contribution value is 7523.
An unprecedented sum of money.
He thought about it and decided that he shouldn't spend all the contribution points every time he got them. Having money in hand would make him feel less anxious.
It was on this day that Longcheng was hit by another fog, the largest and most unexpected one in the past ten years.
As the college entrance examination approaches, all the candidates live on campus.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Meng Chao woke up inexplicably, feeling the air stagnant and a faint whistle like an undercurrent surging.
Then, piercing alarms rang out throughout the city, knocking students out of their beds.
"What's going on? Didn't the weather bureau say there would be monsters attacking the city tonight?"
"This is a super-alert. A large number of space gaps have been torn in the city. The worst situation has occurred!"
"Didn't they say that space is gradually becoming stable, and that monsters will only attack from the outskirts of the city, and rarely appear directly in the city through space gaps?"
"who knows!"
Everyone was busy putting on their clothes.
They were still adjusting their boots when Meng Chao had already rushed out.
In the corridor, he saw an extremely shocking scene.
At some point, huge whirlpools appeared in the starry night sky.
The vortex dragged hundreds of wriggling arms, their colors were sticky and rich, like a bloody wound torn in the night sky.
Inside the wound, the stars disappeared, and as darkness grew, giant monsters that could not be described in words floated over the city.
They swayed like demonic jellyfish from hell, or like giant, bloodshot eyeballs.
Spider-web-like bloodshot, bizarrely shaped pupils, and bloody tissue around the eyeballs - everything is present and lifelike.
There are also tentacles that look like nerve cords hanging down, as if they want to drag to the streets and alleys, like fishing, to catch the human souls high up.
The giant eye emitted a strange light, scanning the entire city like a searchlight.
Occasionally, a blood-red light would sweep across the dormitory building of No. 9 Middle School, and the students in the corridor would feel their hearts tremble and their indexes would drop wildly.
"It's the 'Sky-Splitting Demon Eye'. This beast is good at group mental attacks. Everyone, don't look it in the eye!"
"Quickly concentrate your mind and calm your breath, sit in meditation and enter a state of concentration, and don't mess up your breathing and meditation methods!"
"Where is the army? Where are the extraordinary people? There are so many super beasts. What should we do?"
It was the first time for many students to see such a horrifying scene and they were all completely confused.
The roar of propellers was heard in the sky, and an air strike force consisting of eight armored airships and dozens of extraordinary people finally arrived.
Machine guns roared, heavy artillery swept wildly, extraordinary people soared into the air, and swords and giant swords flashed like lightning.
The super beast "Sky-Splitting Demon Eye", which was good at mental attacks but had a weak body, was torn with countless wounds and flew all over the sky like a balloon out of control, whistling.
A seriously injured Sky-Splitting Demon Eye happened to fly above an armored airship.
Its tentacles immediately began to dance wildly, and its shattered body was entangled tightly with the armored airship. Amidst the grins and screams, it fell together with the armored airship.
The explosion produced a huge sound and flames, which deeply shocked the students' hearts.
These young people grew up in the glorious era when Dragon City was thriving.
Under the suppression of a majestic steel god or devil like an armored airship, even the most powerful monsters would flee in fear - this is the common sense that supports their worldview.
Now, the Iron God and Demon have fallen .
"The Sky-Splitting Demon Eye in the textbooks can never fly this fast, and its tentacles can never be so strong that it can't even break through bullets. What the hell is this!"
Many students looked pale, their eyes were blank, and they couldn’t control their muscle tremors at all.
If you test their mental index at this time, you will find that many people's mental index plummets by dozens of percentage points in an instant.
They are about to collapse.
Fortunately, at this time, a loud war song was heard deep in the campus.
The familiar melody was like streams of magma, flowing along the eardrums, rushing through the nerves, blood vessels and brain cells, helping them to muster up their courage and regain their composure.
In the corridor, Meng Chao was the first to respond to the passionate melody, roaring with his head raised.
He is a little tone-deaf and his singing is by no means good.
However, these martyrs sang war songs for decades on Earth and for decades in other worlds, but they were never sung with their physical voices or heard with their ears.
It is sung with boiling blood, listened to with an excited heart, and resonated with courage and faith!
Chu Feixiong was the first to get rid of the shock. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Meng Chao, rushing towards the playground, the school, the entire city, and the monster looming over the city, roaring like the youth of Earth.
His voice is even more out-of-tune than Meng Chao's, but what does it matter?
When countless young people and countless out-of-tune singing voices converge into an earth-shaking roar, when every wave throws itself high into the air and turns into a raging storm that sweeps across the world, they are an invincible force.
In the corridors, dormitories, teaching buildings and campus, all teachers and students sang in unison. The rolling waves of sound condensed into an indestructible defense network, smashing the mental attack released by the "Sky-Splitting Demon Eye" to pieces.
The brain waves of thousands of teenagers condensed into a tangible golden blade, counterattacking the sky and causing the "Sky-Splitting Demon Eye" to twitch violently and scream.
These beasts all suffered mental backlash.
It is neither difficult nor easy to resist mental attacks.
Using passionate military songs to inspire courage, using relics of deceased relatives to evoke memories, using children's photos to ignite hope, and even using various vulgar entertainment products to divert attention, all have a certain effect.
The key is that when hundreds or thousands of people gather together, someone has to take the lead.
Someone takes the lead in stabilizing the mental index and comes up with various ways to boost morale. His brain waves are released continuously, forming a brain wave resonance with the masses. This is a virtuous circle, and everyone will become more and more calm, brave, and fearless.
In the midst of a bloody battle with high morale and fearlessness, even a timid person will become fearless.
On the other hand, if someone collapses suddenly, his fearful brain waves will turn into a virus and infect everyone around him.
When everyone fell into a mass collapse with their mental index dropping wildly, it was as if countless fear bombs exploded. Even if Meng Chao was in it, it would be difficult to guarantee that his spirit would not be affected.
Fortunately, they held steady today.
Apart from No. 9 Middle School, other places in the city were gradually recovering amid the loud war songs.
The citizens shook off their initial panic and, in accordance with emergency regulations, defended and fought back on the spot.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless searchlights illuminate the night sky as if it were daytime.
Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns cast thousands of lines of fire, making the Sky-Splitting Demon Eye squeak like a deflated ball.
However, in addition to the Sky-Splitting Demonic Eye, there are more types of monsters that invade the city from the ground and engage in close combat with humans.
Suddenly, the sounds of gunfire, artillery fire, shouts of killing, and explosions rang out from the streets and alleys and every corner.
Several buildings around No. 9 Middle School were burning.
“Look!”
Chu Feixiong pointed to a tall building not far from the school.
There was a fire at the bottom of this tall building, and the top was entangled by the tentacles of a Sky-Splitting Demon Eye. The residents in the building had no way to go up or down. Many people were calling for help on the balconies, and some even jumped off the balconies in panic after their mental index collapsed.
"Go and save them!"
Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong led a large group of senior students and rushed out of the dormitory building like a whirlwind.
They met Principal Sun, Demon Yan, and a large number of fully armed teachers at the school gate.
"What?"
Demon Yan was holding a heavy machine gun that was usually mounted on armored vehicles, with a ghost-head sword that was more powerful than the heavy machine gun inserted diagonally behind him. He glared and shouted.
"Principal Sun, Teacher Yan, are you going out to fight?" Chu Feixiong shouted bravely, "That's great, take us with you!"
"Stop messing around, everyone go back. No one is allowed to step out of the campus before dawn!" Demon Yan puffed his beard and glared.
"Why?"
"Didn't the Survival Committee issue a decree that if we encounter a monster, everyone must help each other and fight desperately?"
"How can we just sit back and watch the monsters wreak havoc around us?"
"I saw many ferocious monsters in the 'psychic test' a few days ago. They are nothing to be afraid of. I want to fight!"
The chorus of the war song just now caused everyone to secrete too much super-endorphin, and the mental index soared to more than 120%. The side effect was that they were not very afraid of the devil Yan, and they shouted as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Students, I understand your feelings very well, and I absolutely agree with your fighting spirit." Principal Sun stepped out from behind the evil master Yan.
The wizened old man also changed into a loose camouflage uniform, but he did not carry any weapons. He smiled gently with empty hands, "It's just that you are going to take the college entrance examination soon. Many people have the opportunity to pass the college entrance examination and achieve extraordinary achievements. Even if you don't pass the college entrance examination, you can still shine in many jobs through professional training.
“Society, the school, and your parents have invested a lot of resources to bring you up to where you are today. Everyone is looking forward to you blossoming and bearing fruit. How can we let you fail meaninglessly before you mature?
"Yes, in order to survive, we are sacrificing every moment, but sacrifice must also have value. Every drop of human blood shed must be exchanged for sufficient rewards. Do you understand?"
Chu Feixiong is an excited type. After his mental index goes off the charts, he is not afraid of anyone: "Principal Sun, how can you go out and fight?"
The devil Yan glared, but Principal Sun stopped him and said with a smile, "We are old, some are injured, some are disabled, every drop of potential has been squeezed out , it doesn't matter even if we all die; but you are still young, you are the sun at eight or nine o'clock, you are the future and hope of Dragon City - if you insist on rushing out to fight, that's fine, but there should be a first come first served rule, right? When all the teachers and I are dead, you can step over our bodies, pick up our weapons, and kill as much as you want, okay?"
