Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 62: Migration
Inside the command center of the underground base filled with silver and gray tones.
The leader in black leather jacket stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the huge federal map in front of him. On the map, many areas were marked with red dots, and eye-catching red light patterns were spreading from it.
Just like the dazzling red light flashing in the underground base.
"A major disaster occurred in a city in the northern part of Lunsti State. The Bicycle Man, one of the twelve heroes, died in battle and lost control, turning into a ghost."
"A 40-meter-tall monster appeared in the large city of Billeburg. It is suspected to be a disaster-level evil. The city has been lost."
"Captain Black Hawk, one of the twelve heroes, died in battle."
"The Punisher, one of the twelve heroes, died in battle."
Although the twelve heroes nominated by the Bald Eagle Federation are not the twelve strongest in the Federation, as the real strong ones in Area 51 are hidden, these twelve people are also the best among the double awakeners.
As long as you have the right teammates to cooperate with you, it is not difficult to kill the huge evil spirit.
However,
This time the disaster occurred in the city, and the awakened ones were outnumbered compared to the evil ones, so it was a one-on-many situation.
When one's individual strength is inferior, it is normal to be besieged by evil spirits and die in battle.
Not to mention, that kind of terrible disaster-level evil spirit can destroy an entire city alone. The leader in black leather jacket has no intention of fighting against such an evil spirit.
"Except for a few important cities and some major bases, all secret combat teams in various states and cities have been recalled. There is no need to make meaningless sacrifices."
"Our most urgent task is to ensure smooth transportation of materials and speed up the construction of the Ark of Salvation!"
After the Ark is built, the Bald Eagle Federation can still retain some elite species and be more confident in finding the oasis.
If the Ark cannot be built, the elites and awakened strongmen will collapse along with the world.
How to choose? The leader in black leather jacket had already made the decision in his mind.
There was no anxiety or sadness on his face. He had no expression at all. He just paused and asked, "How is the situation in Donghuang... all over the world?"
The assistant replied, "We have limited manpower in Donghuang, but Donghuang seems to have sent out all the awakened ones to guard various cities. Their disaster situation is much smaller than ours."
"However, there are still many injuries and deaths. Many hospitals are already full, and Donghuang is beginning to become chaotic."
Listening, the leader in black leather jacket remained expressionless and just nodded slightly.
The disaster was much smaller than theirs, but it was still a disaster.
Just like a dam, once it starts to leak water, collapse is only a matter of time, and repairs will never be able to keep up with the speed of the cracks.
As for the Bald Eagle Federation, as long as they can hold on for a while and get rid of a lot of burdens, those who remain will mostly be elites, and it will be easier for them to survive during the period before the destruction of the world.
What will you, Donghuang, do?
The man in black leather jacket looked towards the other side of the ocean in silence.
…
Under the gloomy sky, a flash of lightning would appear from time to time, just like the lightning that goes well with a thunderstorm.
However, if there were strong people at the scene, they would find that the purple thunder that tore through the dark clouds and bombarded down accurately fell on the huge and evil bodies, and the brilliant lightning swallowed up these terrible and hideous figures.
Even a terrifying monster that was forty meters in size was destroyed in an instant by the lightning.
"It's the 27th one. This is really tricky... huh~!"
Fang You glanced down and saw only the charred ground left by the lightning. He nodded slightly, took a step and disappeared under the dark sky.
All around were panicked, demented passers-by.
No one noticed the gray figure that suddenly appeared and disappeared.
Only occasionally some people saw the raging thunder in the sky, swallowing up the body of the monster, and they fell to their knees on the ground and cried.
"God, it must be God appearing!"
"Amen!"
“Wuwuwu——”
…
Once a catastrophic evil appears near a city, the spreading impact on people's minds alone can kill thousands or tens of thousands of ordinary people in an instant.
Once such evil is detected on the map, Fang You will immediately launch a thundering attack.
However,
At the moment when the tide of gray fog descended, too many disaster-level evil spirits appeared, just like the time when a large number of gates to the evil world appeared all over the world, and this time it was even more powerful.
He can only deal with those disaster-level evil spirits that cause greater harm to a limited extent.
Even so, it will be too late.
What's more, the disaster-level evil spirits are not weak. It is easy to eliminate one and it can be killed instantly. The same goes for two or three. However, the consumption of their life energy is not small!
If the total number was increased to dozens, even if he eliminated them one by one, with his less than 100 points of life energy, they would have been drained long ago.
The reason why it didn't have any power was that it was relying on the Angel's Tears that were fully charged to support it.
even so……
He bowed his head.
The teardrop-shaped weapon hanging in front of the collar has become dim, and the life energy stored in this angel's tear has been almost exhausted.
The consumption is greater than expected.
"The organization now has three Angel Tears."
"One is on me, one is on Liu Shang, and one is for public rental."
The one on Liu Shang's body cannot be used. Her tasks are very heavy and she often says that she can't do it anymore.
He had someone fetch the one that was for public rental.
But it may not be enough.
"It's really not enough. I can only borrow the tears from Liu Shang to use."
…
Outside Shuize City, Liu Shang, who was sowing special seeds with a group of people, lowered her head and looked at the Angel's Tears hanging on her chest and hidden inside her clothes. The light had dimmed a lot.
"It's not enough, and the task given by the instructor is so heavy."
"Hey, almighty mentor, please give me a few more fully charged Angel Tears~"
She brushed the hair by her ears, raised her head slightly, and looked at the dark sky.
Under the sky, the wind that blew the skirt also blew up the seeds in the beauty's hand, and they floated and fell into the vast land outside the city.
The young sprouts strive to break through the soil, bringing a touch of fresh green to the barren land, just like the tiny and stubborn human beings under the dark sky.
…
…
"We have killed 47 calamity-level evil spirits. Most of them were alone, with only two groups of two killed. In addition, there were two hell-level evil spirits."
Although they don't seem to be gathering together, the last time there was a worldwide disaster at the gate to the strange world , there were three or four disaster-level evil spirits that appeared at the same time.
However, what he is currently dealing with are only the extremely harmful disaster-level evil spirits that appear in the city or near the city, or the groups of three-star evil spirits that suddenly appear in the city.
This was already too much for him to handle.
You can only kill them one by one according to their importance.
If we count, the number of disaster-level evil spirits that have been brought in by this tide of gray fog is probably far more than three digits. Naturally, most of them appear in the wilderness and places where there are few people.
He glanced at it and passed it by.
But this glance was also shocking. Speaking of high-star evil spirits, many five-star hell-level behemoths appeared, and even six-star disaster-level evil spirits appeared!
They have appeared on the blue planet, in the deep sea, and in the mountains. There are far more than one!
He ran over to take a few looks. The power there was frightening. Surrounding these six-star, five-star, and four-star evil spirits were countless evil spirits that gathered together like a wave.
That number is far more than before!
In comparison, a single disaster-level evil creature and dozens of its minions that occasionally appear near a city are absolutely adorable.
"Xiao Huan, how is the situation?"
"Well... some disasters were still too late to be prevented. In some cities, investigators and our Xinhuo warriors rushed over, but it was already too late. In some cities, although we defeated and killed the three-star evil spirits, too many people were shocked and some could not be saved."
"This is the situation in Donghuang. Overseas, it's even more serious."
She bit her lip, feeling down.
The images from various places were not shown, only a rough number was given to Fang You.
This is tragic enough.
Yesterday, under his arrangement, Xinhuo's warriors rushed to various cities and counties to set up camp, ensuring that each place had the power to deal with the evil.
But even so, a city is very large, let alone a team, even two, three, or four teams would not be enough.
It takes time to get there, and sometimes disasters in the east and west break out at the same time.
Too late.
There is also the more troublesome shock to reason, which is truly terrifying. If you cannot kill the terrifying evil instantly, then the shock to reason will be like an invisible knife, continuously reaping the lives around you.
The scroll in Xu Tian's hand is a magical weapon that can isolate evil and block the attack on reason.
But there are only a few.
"Black and white scrolls, ghost streets, silent intervals..."
The characteristic of the black and white scroll is that the range covered by the ability is downgraded to black and white, which separates the space.
The effects of the other items are similar, and their main ability is to cover and create an independent space.
Block influence and trap the enemy.
In addition, different weapons may have additional abilities and different side effects. For example, the weapon "Silent Gap" has a silencing effect, and it may be able to bring out the effect in appropriate scenarios.
The main function is still partition.
Fang You defined this type of strange weapon as a "domain-type strange weapon", which means creating a domain space to block the connection between the inside and the outside.
It’s just that their number is too small, and compared with the entire Donghuang and the entire world, the role they can play is quite limited.
It is also difficult to trap a truly strong person.
Compared with these six high-level magic weapons, another slightly more ordinary magic weapon, the "Purification Orb", is more valued by Fang You.
This was also drawn from a high-level card pool. Its ability is to spread a "purification aura" that covers the surroundings, allowing people within the range to gain purification, rational resistance, and other benefits.
The effect is naturally not as good as the complete blocking of a black and white painting.
The advantage is that it can be imitated. Master Wang Chui has already developed it, and the necessary materials have been sought by the Weird Creatures Xinhuo Elites before today.
However, due to limitations in time, materials, and Master Wang's energy, Xinhuo currently only has twenty-three of these cost-effective "Purification Orbs".
For the whole world, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Just do your best.
After all, reality is not a fairy tale, and the numbers are all bloody truths. What we need to do is to light a fire in this dark world and keep the tradition going.
…
…
When flames burn, there is often a price to pay.
When the firewood burns out, all that remains is a tiny ember.
This time, faced with the disasters that continued to emerge in various places and faced with those tricky, powerful and terrifying enemies, not only many investigators and special forces members sacrificed their lives.
The same goes for the torch fighters.
Seeing Fang You was a little depressed, Xiao Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Master, there is good news. Look here."
She projected a map with a huge red dot on it, representing the hellish evil. After flashing several times, it shattered and disappeared with a bang.
It represents the destruction of this terrible and evil creature.
"An Jianyou has already killed the third Hell-level Evil. If he continues to clean them up like this, the number of powerful Evils will decrease."
"Well, except for the first impact when the gray fog tide descended, under normal circumstances, the growth rate of calamity-level evil spirits is not that fast."
But it is also much faster than before.
Moreover, from now on, in such a densely populated place in the city, it is possible that three-star or even four-star disaster-level evil spirits will breed.
The evil detection capability of the dispatch map can only reduce losses, but cannot guarantee no losses.
“How’s the migration going?”
He asked.
A few days ago , after the locations of the first and second Dawn Base Cities were determined, the Dawn Plan: National Migration began.
Before this, a lot of preparations had been made.
The two cities of Shuize and Huangdu are also undergoing rapid transformation and expansion. In the future, a Liming base city - including the main base urban area and the satellite base urban area - will need to accommodate two to three hundred million people.
Expansion is ongoing.
Migration is also ongoing.
However, the whole-population migration faces many difficulties and obstacles. First, it is not that you can just migrate. Transportation and supplies need to be guaranteed. So people can only migrate one city at a time, millions or even tens of millions of people at a time.
Secondly, many people are unwilling to leave their homeland, and the previously safe environment in the country also makes many people feel that it is unnecessary.
Of course, the Investigation Bureau still issued instructions and began to migrate one by one.
The overall situation is going well.
There are many unexpected things happening abroad. After Xinhuo proposed the Dawn Plan, the Sunset Country also held a referendum. The result showed that less than 10% of the people supported migration and moving to the base city.
This is just a referendum.
If we really start migrating in the future, I think there will be even more trouble.
As for Europe, this large region must also establish Dawn base cities, at least two or three.
Third, the migration of millions of people not only faces problems of transportation and supplies, but also faces even more serious problems of evil spirits. It is already dangerous outside the city, and the migrating team is like a bright light, no, like millions of light bulbs, gathering into a long river of attention, attracting evil spirits to flock in.
Xiao Huan's eyes flashed with streams of data, and he said,
"Currently, the migration work in Shuizezhou has been completed to 36%, and the migration work in Huangdu has been completed to 35%. However, now that the gray fog tide has arrived, the migration teams have encountered a lot more waves."
"But, but it is still under control, Master, don't worry."
…
…
Shuizezhou, National Highway 666.
The huge convoy stretched from the front end to the back, like a giant python with no end in sight.
In the convoy, transport trucks and buses are in the front, and many private cars follow closely behind, following this steel torrent towards the unknown distance.
There was tension, confusion and determination on people's faces.
On the bus,
The little boy clutched the corner of the old man's clothes, fear of the unknown on his young face.
The lovers whispered comfort to each other, encouraged each other, and clasped their hands together tightly.
The big boy, who was alone, looked at the investigator in a black windbreaker standing tall on the troop carrier not far away, without moving his eyes away, and made a silent decision.
Drivers, passengers, volunteers.
Soldier, investigator, and torchbearer.
Some are serious, some are nervous, some are quiet, and some are determined. In this endless stream of traffic, different people play different roles, but they all have the same expectations.
I hope to reach the destination smoothly as soon as possible.
At the front end of the long line of cars, Chi Yan, one of the three captains of the special forces team, was sitting on a troop carrier with his legs slightly crossed. His sitting posture seemed lazy, but his sharp eyes like an eagle scanning the surroundings showed that the captain was always on high alert.
"After the Gray Fog Tide arrived, the frequency of attacks from evil spirits has increased several times, even dozens of times, compared to before."
Chi Yan frowned slightly.
Looking at the gentle and elegant middle-aged man sitting beside him, "If we encounter an attack from too many evil spirits, we will need you, Mr. Pei, to take action."
"It's my job."
Pei Hongjing was also observing his surroundings.
Sometimes he checked the map in his mind, and sometimes he used his master-level evil tracking skills.
Under the field of vision of this skill, wisps of gray fog gradually become clearer, and the changes in the fog and the direction of the foul wind are all presented in the field of vision.
Pei Hongjing suddenly stood up, climbed a little higher, and looked towards somewhere behind him.
There, wisps of gray fog gathered together like a whirlpool.
"In the fourth section, there is a high probability that evil spirits will appear soon."
He said.
His voice reached the command vehicle not far away, and orders were issued quickly and orderly.
The vortex appeared not far from the national highway, only 20 to 30 meters away. However, the convoy could not stop at high speed. Once it stopped, the orderly order would be disrupted and the efficiency of the migration would be greatly reduced.
Similar accidents are not isolated cases.
If there were more interruptions, the migration would not have to go ahead.
However, it is even more impossible to resist head-on. When driving at high speeds, once drivers suffer a shock to their rationality, it is easy to cause tragedies such as chain car accidents, car destruction and death.
so,
"Use Plan B."
“Leave it to me!”
A sword as big as a door panel flew up. Jiang Nian, the owner of the Fire Bearer Medal and the best of the second batch of members, flew up on the door panel with the sword. When he arrived at the destination, he reached out and took out a music box and opened it carefully.
Soft music sounded, and the nearby scene changed.
Some unreal carousel scenes appeared before my eyes, replacing the surroundings and enveloping the land filled with gray fog.
This is the territorial artifact "Annie's Music Box".
One of the six domain weapons of Xinhuo.
Captain Chi Yan also took off into the air, the flames behind him turned into a pair of red wings, and he flew into the music box area.
Also taking action at the same time were two Xinhuo Warriors, four special forces and elite investigators.
Pei Hongjing looked at the music box field that was invisible to ordinary people and the convoy that had never stopped, but did not take any action.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, he just stood there and observed his surroundings.
He had to retain enough strength to deal with more troublesome evil spirits.
In the distance, the wind surged, and gray fog gathered in the special field of vision. From the side deep beneath the reality, a hideous and evil creature tens of meters high tore through the thin membrane and descended with a bang.
Dozens and hundreds of cards came at his face.
The explosion sounded like thunder, and the terrible shock wave caused the illusory music box field to shake continuously.
Under the cover of the area, there was also a blazing red flame rising into the sky, lighting up the dark sky red. Under the reflection of the scorching flame, a figure lightly flapped his wings and landed at the front of the convoy.
"Disaster averted, keep moving forward."
