Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 63 Light up the dawn!
National Highway 666 is the only way from Linshan City to Shuize City.
North of the city.
The crowds were like water, and the queues were like streams pouring in from all directions. Under the command and cooperation of investigators, various departments and volunteers, they boarded the buses in an orderly and rapid manner.
Vehicles drove out one after another .
The drone shot gradually moved higher and the camera slowly moved backwards. The bustling crowds were no longer there. The shops on both sides of the streets that were once bustling had pulled down their shutters. The spacious main roads were empty, without any vehicles or pedestrians.
The aerial footage continues.
The further we go, the more desolate it becomes. The entire population of Linshan City started preparing a few days ago, closing factories, relocating personnel, and transferring supplies.
Most of the valuable things have been taken away, and the construction of the future base city will require a huge amount of materials, especially to deal with the doomsday disaster that has already arrived.
In this desolate forest and mountain city, the drone camera gradually zoomed in, focusing on several places in this empty city.
The wisps of gray fog visible to the naked eye look like floating clouds.
A few faint gray monsters, whose specific appearance could hardly be seen clearly, were wandering on the deserted road, leaving behind black claw marks wherever they passed.
There is a sense of uncertainty.
You can also see the gray shadow of a giant more than ten meters tall, waving his arms angrily and brushing against the outer wall of the building. The glass shatters, the wall is scraped away, and cracks spread like a spider web.
These horrific scenes were clearly presented to every viewer in front of the TV or computer through aerial footage.
They couldn't help but gasp.
"hiss--"
Disaster is not far away.
Especially today, there have been many serious disasters. Some people have heard about them, but compared to those who have experienced the disasters, most people can only sigh. They are still a little distance away from the disaster that is gradually approaching.
Now, I've seen it with my own eyes.
“It’s a monster!”
"Hiss! Is this the monster called Guixie?!"
"So, the investigators have been dealing with such a scary guy!"
"Especially this kind of monster cannot be dealt with by ordinary guns and can only be killed by special means."
"Eyes! My eyes!"
The tallest monster on the screen is a three-star evil flesh and blood giant...with an outline.
It was just a blurry grey shadow, and separated by a layer of screen, so the horrible intellectual shock would not affect the person sitting in front of the TV.
However, looking at these obviously unclear gray shadows of monsters, thoughts such as "scary", "ferocious", "ugly", and "disgusting" still arise in people's minds.
I feel scared.
The scene returned to the news section, and the host, sitting upright, spoke in a serious tone.
"The picture we are seeing now is the true picture of the disaster. In order to resist the increasingly severe disaster, Donghuang is preparing to establish six base cities to ensure the safety of residents' lives and production."
"Huangdu Base City and Shuize Base City are already under construction, and the other four base cities have also started construction. It is expected that the initial construction of the base cities and the relocation and resettlement of all people will be completed within the next two months."
"What is going on now is the relocation of Linshan City. We can see that the last batch of residents have boarded the bus. They will be escorted by investigators to the Mizusawa Base City."
"Let's take a look at this aerial view of the migration front."
The convoy was like a rolling torrent, traveling on the spacious national highway.
It is quite spectacular at first glance, and you can see many strong people flying over eaves and walls, and even spreading wings, controlling the wind, and flying with swords.
In this era, the awakened ones are no longer a secret, but they are still a "new thing" after all. Occasionally, some awakened anchors can be seen on the Internet, and they are all low-level awakened ones. It is amazing if they can spit fire and make a guest appearance in a circus performance.
It’s different this time.
They saw a truly powerful man who could fly over eaves and walls, wield a sword, and in an instant the number of barrages exploded several times or even dozens of times.
"Sword Immortal, Mom, I saw the Sword Immortal!"
"Are they the investigators who are protecting the large migration team? Love it!"
"Have you noticed that they are completely different from the Awakened anchors you've seen on the Internet before? They are warriors, real warriors! They fly on the roofs of cars, and even fly. They are not showing off their special abilities, but because only in this way can they intercept the monsters before the disaster breaks out and ensure the safety and smoothness of this migration route."
The few awakened ones who leaped over the roof of the bus suddenly jumped out of the national highway and landed steadily after a roll.
At this moment, a close-up shot shows that under the interweaving wisps of gray fog, several hideous monsters stepped into reality. However, before they could pounce on the convoy emitting an alluring fragrance not far away, they were sniped and killed on the spot by the investigator in a black windbreaker who arrived earlier.
Similar scenes occur from time to time in some sections of the long convoy.
Even worse, there was a surging tide of monsters, dozens or hundreds of them, rushing towards the national highway from the wilderness, a black mass, extremely terrifying.
But they were all intercepted by strong men in black windbreakers at a long distance and killed on the spot.
There were obviously a lot of dangers and monsters appeared from time to time, but after dozens of minutes of live broadcast, I didn’t see this convoy stop once!
No interference at all!
No matter there is smoke or monsters ahead, don't worry. The men in black windbreakers will protect the convoy. You just... just keep moving forward.
The barrage suddenly became sparse.
The audience in front of the screen fell silent, and at this moment they finally understood the weight of the word "investigator".
The black windbreaker fluttering in the wind and the orange flames jumping on the windbreaker are all imprinted in people's eyes and will never be forgotten.
"salute!"
"salute!"
"salute!"
…
…
The first and most intense wave of impact has passed, and Master Fang can take a short break.
He has now returned to the third-level apostle dormitory.
Compared with the second-level dormitory, the third-level dormitory is obviously more spacious. It is a large flat with an area of more than 300 square meters. The spaciousness is only secondary. The key lies in the powerful recovery gain of the third-level dormitory. Just by staying here, the almost exhausted life energy in the body will begin to recover on its own at a relatively fast speed.
The energy has become much more active, and the mental fatigue brought by the repeated use of skills and high-intensity combat is slowly recovering.
The whole body feels like it is receiving a delicate massage, which is very comfortable.
There are also some amazing facilities.
for example,
The clear water rippling in this bath is equivalent to a special medicinal liquid. Just soaking in it can quickly relieve physical and mental fatigue and eliminate some hidden injuries caused by battle or training.
If you soak in it for a long time, it can improve your physical fitness subtly and without any side effects.
The effect is quite good, and it can be enjoyed at any time in the third-level dormitory.
But strangely enough, the "medicine" flowing from the bath faucet is only effective inside the large dormitory. Once it is taken out of the dormitory, it is just ordinary, carrying some warm spring water.
This made some of Master Fang’s ideas come to nothing.
He could only adopt the second plan and let Yinling study it. She was indeed curious, so she probably made and drank the tea in her dormitory. The next day, he saw Yinling, whose face was rosy and moist, but the answer he got was disappointing.
"How should I put it? It's very strange."
"I tasted it and found that it was not some kind of medicinal liquid, but just ordinary hot spring water, but it did have the effect of a medicinal bath."
I can’t understand, so Yinling says goodbye.
Teacher Fang's plan to get the free stuff failed, but it did not prevent the bath water from having a good effect. He enjoyed the physical and mental comfort, and finally had time to carefully check the progress of the Dawn Project.
Through the vision of the apostles of each migration team and the vision of the apostles in Shuize City, Fang You can investigate the situation in various places without leaving his home.
Fan Anyuan and others who work in the Investigation Bureau and are in charge of connecting with the Investigation Bureau and the Special Operations Team also pass first-hand information back to the organization.
"Master, according to the current speed, it will take about five days to complete the migration~!"
Xiao Huan's figure floated out and said.
Fang You asked, "How is the construction of the base city going?"
"This will be much slower. The planned Dawn Base City has a main urban area and four satellite urban areas, as well as an anti-evil wall built on the outermost perimeter that can resist the impact of evil waves."
"Even with the construction puppets we provided, it will take at least two months. However, there is enough temporary accommodation, and the people in the Investigation Bureau have made full preparations."
"Also, our Dawn Lighthouse has been basically built, and the only thing left is to activate it."
Xiao Huan said seriously.
The Dawn Lighthouse is a special building constructed based on the "Building Seed", so its construction speed is naturally much faster than that of ordinary buildings.
It's a building with cheats.
However, the Dawn Lighthouse is very special, and how effective it can be depends on the "population".
It is not time to activate it yet. Once all the migration teams arrive at Shuize City and the prototype of the Shuize base city is formed, it will be the moment to activate the Dawn Lighthouse.
Urban construction.
People migrate.
Light up the beacon.
This is the process of establishing a Dawn Base City.
…
…
Shuize City, Dawn Project Command Center.
Director Huang Hongtian, the commander-in-chief in charge of the construction of the Shuize base city and the relocation and resettlement of the people, has not slept for two days and two nights.
For a top-level three-awakening expert, not sleeping for two days is not a big deal.
But not only did he not sleep for two days and two nights, but he also had to concentrate highly, and at the same time he had to take action to deal with evil spirits, which was a huge burden.
There was a look of fatigue on Huang's face.
Facing the advice of others, he waved his hand nonchalantly, "The soldiers on the front line haven't rested either. The intensity they face is much higher than what I'm facing here, especially now. The gray fog tide has only arrived not long ago. I can't sleep even if you ask me to rest. I won't feel at ease unless I personally keep an eye on this person."
He kept an eye on the situation of each migration team and also on the situation inside Shuize City.
In terms of construction,
It is imperative to ensure the basic living conditions of the relocated people and provide them with proper resettlement.
Safety
This is the planned Dawn Base City, a place of refuge where evil cannot be allowed to wreak havoc.
Naturally, there are many masters stationed in Shuize City. In addition to Director Huang, there are 8 masters of the third awakening level and dozens of junior masters of the second awakening level.
From the Investigation Bureau, Special Forces, and Xinhuo.
However, from Shuize City to Shuize Base City, the scope has expanded a lot, and engineering operations are constantly being carried out in various places. Although there are many masters stationed here, they are far from sufficient, otherwise Director Huang would not have to take action.
He came to the roof of the command building and looked out at the construction status of the entire Shuize Base City.
The wind is strong here and the sky is still dark, but it cannot extinguish the hot hearts of the busy people.
Director Huang looked into the distance.
There, in the center of the city, stands a three-hundred-meter-high pure white tower. It is extremely magnificent and has now become a landmark building of Shuize City.
What made him feel even more incredible was that this magnificent white lighthouse was built up little by little in front of his eyes... no, it was built up very quickly in his eyes.
The entire process, from the beginning of construction to completion, took only three days.
I heard that the tower is called Dawn Lighthouse and is the core of the Dawn Project.
"With this lighthouse, can we guarantee the safety of Base City?"
To be honest, Huang Hongtian was not sure either.
He doesn't know.
He could only choose to believe that this was the only hope that could preserve the hope of most people.
As for Oasis?
How many people can an oasis of such a small area support? Even the large oases known as the great powers of the strange world, such as the Burning Flame Oasis, are only equivalent to a large city.
Less than one thousandth of a world.
Even if one can find the so-called oasis, given the dangers of the strange world, how many people can arrive safely?
Huang Hongtian looked into the distance, seeing the lights of thousands of homes and the endless flow of people.
The Dawn Project cannot fail!
He was silent for a long time, then turned to the other side, looking at the outer area of the base city that was being developed and constructed, and asked, "How many evil disasters have occurred in the Shuize Base City?"
"One hundred and forty-six cases, including thirty-seven cases with two stars or above, and four cases with three stars or above."
The deputy said.
This number is much higher than that of ordinary prefecture-level cities.
At this time, half a day had passed since the arrival of the gray fog tide. Considering the dense population of Shuize City, the degree of disaster should have been smaller, but Shuize City was expanding outward.
Even though a large number of people have entered the outer areas, the "human population" has not yet been truly integrated. Compared with the inner urban areas, the frequency of evil spirits breeding in these areas is much higher.
Director Huang certainly understands this theory.
"There are more garrison forces in Mizusawa Base City, and so far these sudden disasters have not caused major losses."
the deputy added.
Director Huang nodded slightly, "What about outside the city? What's the situation now?"
"We have already wiped out eight groups of evil spirits, the smallest number being two to three hundred, and the largest number being over a thousand."
Among the thousand evil spirits rushing together, there will be at least a dozen three-star evil spirits.
If we kill them one by one, it won't be very difficult to kill a thousand evil spirits.
But if it comes in the form of a strange evil tide, it will require at least hundreds of awakened people, more than ten triple-awakened fighters, a sufficient number of weapons, and sufficient strategic depth to eliminate it relatively easily.
What if the evil tide is even bigger?
This is what Director Huang is worried about.
Densely populated areas can certainly reduce the frequency of evil spirits breeding, but on the other hand, they will also attract evil spirits in the wild to gradually gather together, forming a tide of evil spirits rushing towards the city.
It once existed.
What's more, now that the population of the base city is about to reach 100 million, the attraction to Guixie in this case...
Director Huang was also worried.
As for the city wall in the base city plan, which could withstand the ordinary attacks of evil spirits, it was obviously impossible to build it in a short period of time.
The deputy said, "Xinhuo said that they have sent some high-ranking experts to clear out the evil spirits that have gathered around."
"In addition, Xinhuo is also prepared for the possible arrival of a large-scale evil wave, and has already set up a defense line on the periphery."
At the far end, the location of the city wall planned for the base city.
There stood several brown wooden towers that were more than ten to twenty meters high, looking somewhat lonely. Further away, soldiers carrying torches were busy making arrangements.
At this time, Director Huang chose to trust his allies.
What he needs to do is to keep a close eye on the construction of the base city and the migration and resettlement of personnel.
There can't be any mistakes!
…
…
When the people of Donghuang were united and entered the stage of great migration.
Abroad, the wind was a little noisy, the sky was just as dark, and eyes from different countries were looking at the eastern land.
"Have you heard? Donghuang is carrying out a large-scale population migration. They are moving all the people in the country to six base cities. Donghuang will have to give up most of its land!"
"Oh my god, those Orientals have finally gone crazy. How dare their country do this?"
"What makes me even more curious is, do the people of Donghuang have no human rights? They can migrate as they please, and abandon as they please? If it were me, I would never agree to it, no way!"
"But haven't you noticed that the disaster has become much more serious during this period? People have died in every city. A lot of people have died. If this continues, our city will also be destroyed. I am very desperate now!"
"At least the Donghuang Nation is taking action. What about our Langhua Nation? What is our Super Warfare Department doing? Fuck!"
"Well, we had a referendum a few days ago. It seemed that the referendum was about the Base City Plan. I didn't pay much attention to it. I just glanced at the general meaning and voted no."
The few people on the Internet who noticed the Donghuang operation were all stunned.
Compared to these ordinary netizens, mysterious departments in various countries naturally know the inside story better.
Sunset Country, Night Watchman Department Headquarters.
Yule and other senior executives were somewhat silent.
"Donghuang's actions are faster than expected."
"Indeed, at the current speed, it will only take a few days for the most difficult migration work to be completed."
"No, the relocation work is not the most difficult. How to ensure that evil spirits do not breed in the city is the key. If this cannot be done, the establishment of the base city will be meaningless."
A senior executive said.
They had mixed emotions, thinking that this plan would not work and that Donghuang would soon suffer heavy losses, but they also hoped, what if, just in case, it really worked?
Wait a little longer.
…
Bald Eagle Federation,
The leader in black leather and the envoy from the Langtao City-State in blue robe were also paying attention to the situation in that eastern country.
"The establishment of a base city is obviously supported by a large oasis force, but it is impossible to succeed."
The blue-robed messenger said firmly, "I am more inclined to believe that they are taking this opportunity to carry out some kind of plan or ritual."
The black leather leader also believed this.
Putting aside the last point, the whole plan seemed a fantasy to him. He felt that it was impossible to get millions or tens of millions of people to cross thousands of miles in dangerous environments.
But Donghuang did it!
Before the Grey Mist Tide came, they relocated tens of millions of people.
After the gray fog tide came, they...they migrated even faster! The organization and dispatch were even faster!
The leader couldn't understand.
Just quietly checking the information from Donghuang.
[The fourteenth batch of migrants has arrived at Shuize.]
[The eighteenth batch of migrants has been resettled.]
[The construction of Mizusawa Base City sets a record!]
[In the Donghuang Plan, the last team heading to the Shuize Base City has arrived!]
…
…
Shuize City, no, now it should be called Shuize Base City.
Construction is still in full swing in various urban areas, and people who have just arrived are being resettled in temporary residential areas in an orderly manner.
At this time,
In the center of Base City, under the Dawn Lighthouse, which is currently designated as a restricted area, three figures walked over.
The Black Knife Chief Instructor in a black coat and mask.
Miss An Jianyouan, wearing a black long dress and with her hair hanging down her shoulders.
as well as,
The one wearing a white robe, walking in the middle.
Torch mentor!
"The time has come, it's time to light the dawn."
