NO.388 House of Flying Daggers
However, what Zhang Heng didn't know was that just when he was busy contacting the only combat power in the world, the few small towns next to Midgar City had begun to undergo some unexpected changes...
In the early morning, in a slum with a small population, a ragged boy slowly opened a gap in the door and peeked into the familiar and strange world with a vigilant and numb eyes. He observed for a long time until he thought the outside world was safe, and then he tiptoed out of the door and began to search for the sparse prey in the slum.
Mouses, wild cats, wild dogs and even rotten insects are the recipes of humans on the planet today. As the planet's environment continues to deteriorate, most of the plants have withered due to lack of sunlight. Only the mosses and other plants that do not need sunlight in the dark gradually grow and have a tendency to spread to the entire city.
Whoosh...
Walking in the dark and narrow gap, the boy held a steel knife on his mouth and slowly moved a bunch of debris away with his hands, looking for traces of edible insects and animals. These insects and animals were extremely alert and could not make a sound when hunting. Once it made a sound, it would be the end of all the previous efforts.
Gugugugu...
A low cry came, and the little boy's blue-haired pupils suddenly lit up. He suppressed the tension and slowly pushed away the garbage in front of him. He suddenly saw a dirty pheasant with large black spots pecking at the insects in front of the garbage dump in front of him. At this moment, the little boy immediately slowed down, like a cheetah about to hunt, slowly approaching the prey with a hunched body...
Soon, it's soon...
Just as the little boy was approaching the pheasant less than six meters away, suddenly, a low friction sound came from the garbage dump. The pheasant in front of him seemed to have noticed something, spread its wings without thinking, and was about to run towards the boy's hidden position!
The little boy was about to attack, but with a "swish" sound, a creature that was blood-red all over, like a python attacked in an instant! Like a afterimage, it rushed to the pheasant in the blink of an eye. The head of the python turned into a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth. Just swallowed it gently, and suddenly, the prey that the little boy had tried his best to approach was swallowed into his stomach by the giant python!
“Hey…”
The pheasant crow before his death was even heard without any rush, and it seemed like it was strangled to the neck and was swallowed by the other party with its leather and bones!
The little boy felt a chill. He hid in the garbage and looked at the outside world, but found that the long red monster with red stripes was not a python, it was the tentacle of an unknown monster!
It was like an octopus' tentacle. The monster's body was filled with slippery mucus, and the bottom of the tentacle was filled with dense suction cups. Those suction cups were extremely ugly. If a patient with dense phobia saw it, he would probably faint immediately. Not only that, at the root of the tentacle, a giant mouth like a meat grinder, opened and closed slightly, and the giant mouth was divided into four petals like a flower, and there were dense sharp teeth in the middle. This special mouthpiece was simply unheard of, just like the sea monster like "Extremely Deep Cold"!
The little boy subconsciously covered his mouth, suppressed his body's tremor, and slowly retreated back. The moment he saw this tentacle, he realized that the other party was not an existence that he could fight against, and the idea of hunting at this time had long disappeared.
However, just as the little boy was retreating, suddenly, a cold and slippery sound came from the back of his neck. His body trembled slightly, suppressing his trembling body and slowly turning back, but he saw that at some point three or four tentacles appeared behind him. These tentacles were facing him and slowly opened their hideous mouth...
"ah!"
In this small town that is breathing, human screams come from time to time, and then disappear...
...
Time passed slowly, and hundreds of falcon fighter jets were suspended invisibly over Midgar City, while Zhang Heng sat in the cabin and closed his eyes to rest.
The battle may break out at any time, and Zhang Heng needs to maintain his physical strength and spirit for the subsequent battle.
However, until the dusk of the next day, the entire Midgar city was still calm. Not to mention Genova, there was no cat or dog. But as time passed, Zhang Heng's expression became more and more serious.
"What's wrong!"
Suddenly, Zhang Heng suddenly opened his eyes, and he said in an extremely serious tone, "Zhi Shang, send the ten Eagle Falcon fighter jets out of the battle sequence and go around the planet. I need to make sure that there is no abnormality there!"
"Yes." Zhi Shang said skillfully, "Call a090 to a100, this is the command center. Please answer when you receive it!"
“a090 received!”
“a098 received!”
"A100 was received, please give an order from the command center!"
"Click the numbered ten Hawk Falcon fighters and leave the battle sequence immediately and divide them into ten directions to check whether there are any abnormalities on the planet. Any abnormal phenomena need to be reported immediately!"
"receive!"
The cross falcon fighter jets immediately left the line, and ten sounds burst out above the city of Midgar. The next second it turned into ten streams of light and rushed towards their respective assigned directions!
At this time, Zhang Heng lowered his head silently and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was deducing something. For some reason, he always felt extremely uneasy. Today was too calm, as if there was no meaning at all. But Zhang Heng knew that since the Dimension Star gave him seventy-two hours, there was definitely a deep meaning inside, and it was impossible to have a useless and pity that would make it useless and discard it.
He originally wanted to deduce it with his foresight, but when he thought of the upcoming battle, he still suppressed this idea. If he lost too much mental power at this time, he would fall into an unfavorable state in the next battle.
However, since the city of Midgar is peaceful, there is only one possibility, that is, something unknown has happened elsewhere.
Just as Zhang Heng was in deep thought, a warning from the dispatched Hawk Falcon fighter was heard from the quantum communicator, "A100 Call Command Center, in the wasteland dozens of kilometers away from Midgar City, thousands of humans are moving rapidly towards the direction of Midgar City. No, no! The other party is not a human, but a creature that seems to be under some control!"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Shang immediately walked to Zhang Heng and turned on the holographic screen device on the Eagle Falcon fighter. Suddenly, a desolate wasteland appeared in front of everyone. On the ground, there were faintly visible black dots that were slowly moving. This was the on-site record sent back by the A100 fighter.
Zhang Heng showed such a look this time. He walked to the picture with great strides, and made a gesture of sliding fingers like enlarging the photo of his mobile phone. Suddenly, the picture in front of him magnified rapidly. When he magnified more than a hundred times, he finally saw the so-called black dots on the ground clearly.
Then there are no black spots. They are obviously monsters with muscles all over their bodies and almost all facial features are deformed! This monster is only one giant mouth in the abyss behind the ears. It looks even more hideous and terrifying than the evil god of revenge!
These black spots are densely packed, with as many as thousands, and some are naked all over their bodies, but some monsters have fragments of clothes on their bodies, which hang on their bodies. The wind in the wasteland blew gently and swayed constantly.
With just a glance, Zhang Heng could see that these monsters were all mutated by humans!
"Abnormal was found in a093. In the southeast of Midgar City, we also found a large number of humanoid monsters, with a number of tens of thousands!"
"Abnormal was found at a094, and the number of monsters is as high as tens of thousands!"
Zhang Heng suddenly discovered that it seemed that overnight, except for Midgar City, all humans in the world seemed to have turned into monsters!
Not only that, there was also a vaguely sour metal twisting sound in the center of Midgar City. The sound was thick and harsh, as if there was a prehistoric beast under the ground of Midgar City, struggling constantly, trying to break free from the shackles and whistling out! (To be continued.)
