Chapter 2159 The Sleeping City
The drab planet continued to fall, and the squeeze of the two spaces caused the space nodes to fold or be destroyed continuously. The space energy fluctuations in Peters City were unprecedentedly violent.
Intense space energy gathers to form space vortexes one after another. These gray vortexes lie between the Imperial Star and Peters City, as if gloomy stars are watching the entire city.
In this short period of time, when the natural danger caused by space collision appeared, the dense fog sealed off the area loosened, and cracks appeared correspondingly.
The ferocious beast that drilled out of the crack roared and rampaged in the sky. The night sky of Peters City has never been so noisy.
Crazy fierce beasts, an army of Zerg descending from the sky, a group of battleships ready to go, a huge planet that covers the sky and blocks the sun.
Looking up to the sky, you can see the stone pillars hanging upside down, the undulating sand dunes, the desert, and those hanging light silver curtains.
Malibu, Tom, and Rogers stood still in the sky garden of the college building, and everything was silent. Even though something terrible and amazing was happening in the sky on the street outside the college, their classmates still yawned and played back. Sleep soundly.
"Get up tomorrow and everything will be solved."
"Go to sleep, is there anything more important than sleeping? The city defense will definitely solve it."
Words like these come from different populations.
"Is this the end of the world?"
"Maybe not to that extent." The voice of another person was full of hesitation.
The shortest student looked around, "Are we going to run away? Will those monsters rush into the academy?"
His trembling legs were almost unable to stand upright. If he could, he even hoped that he could go back to sleep on a warm bed like other students, just like what the Voice of the City said in the notice, don’t walk around, tomorrow When the sun rises in the morning, all troubles and dangers, all things are solved.
"The academy should be safe for the time being."
"We should look for other people who are not asleep. It can't be just the three of us. Don't you think it's strange that those people choose to sleep?"
"I was hypnotized. Such a large-scale hypnosis can only be done by the city defense. There must be other people who are not affected. Let's find them first."
boom!
With a muffled sound, a monster with four wings broke free from the crack and dived, and a cold light shot from the left side of the academy hit the monster's chest.
The chest of the giant beast was shot through, and there was a huge hole more than ten meters in diameter.
The corpse of the giant beast fell downwards, and it was about to hit the college building. Another light shot out, and the giant beast disappeared without a trace.
The city defense system is fully activated.
It was no safer to run out than to stay in the academy. They had no weapons and equipment, and it would only be easier to die if they ran away.
But they couldn't go back to the dormitory to sleep safely.
Starting from the dormitory building of the college, call for companions through the communication platform secretly built among the students.
The three comprehensive colleges in the southeast and north of Peters City have all joined this secret platform, and only the students know the communication codes and secret words.
The traditional, ancient and innovative communication method did not disturb the supervisory committee, but Xiao Qi's gadgets left in Bidser City accidentally left a backup of the transmission data.
"Will someone respond to us?"
"There must be. I don't believe that the three of us are the only ones who didn't sleep in such a big city."
"It's almost dawn, maybe it's the same as what was said on the radio, everything will be back to normal at dawn..."
Just as the short Rogers said his words, there was another muffled sound.
In the sky, not far from the sky garden, dozens of unknown creatures crashed into the defensive barrier. This time they escaped the first wave of attacks until they hit the barrier and slid to the ground in a bloody mess.
"Those are fierce beasts, the fierce beasts described in the hunting battle." Tom took out the movie collector's edition player he just bought from the bedroom.
The metal box contains the player and a picture book on animal skin.
"The film is in the form of a documentary,
It tells the story of an ordinary soldier accidentally joining a mercenary team and eventually becoming a hero who saves mankind in the hunting battlefield. Look, is this similar to the beast that fell just now? "
Tom restrained his desire to recommend movies, and opened his picture book, "Have you seen it, it's exactly the same, 'Randy's bird has four or six wings, and its body length can reach up to 180 meters' .”
"But isn't the hunting battle over long ago? The beasts only exist in urban legends and have long since disappeared. Why did they suddenly appear?"
"How could there be no news at all for so many years?"
A few people began to recall, but whenever they thought deeply about the history of hunting wars, there would be a blank in their minds, and they couldn't remember more history.
Only Tom can think of some plots and pictures depicted in the movies because of his love for movies, and he doesn't know anything about the others.
"Can not remember."
"How come you don't have any impression?"
This discovery made several people feel inexplicable fear in their hearts.
They clearly knew the existence of the hunting battle, but why they couldn't recall any relevant memory pictures, blank, blank.
"Malibu"
"Malibu"
"Ha!" Malibu, who was called several times in a row, finally came back to his senses. Some strange images flashed back in his mind. He had done some things many times, and he actually made completely different choices for the same thing. Those flashbacks of seemingly unrelated images kept coming.
"What’s wrong with you."
Malibu was dizzy in front of his eyes, and his body shook a few times, "I have a headache, maybe I was overly frightened."
"Do you still remember those two people who appeared and disappeared suddenly?"
"You think it has something to do with them?"
"Those trackers wore uniforms with the city defense emblem on them."
"Maybe we shouldn't meddle in other people's business, or we should sleep in the dormitory with a quilt." Rogers suggested hesitantly.
At this moment, the communication frequency band that has not received a response has actually sounded "Hey, hello, is there anyone, help me, help me..."
"Is anyone there? I'm on Twelfth Street, North District. I'm surrounded by ferocious beasts. They're all dead, all dead..."
Intermittent voices came from the communication, making the three students stunned on the spot, wondering what died and how many people died.
The three sleepless students felt a cold sense of reality from the desperate cries for help. Everything that happened tonight was so bizarre that they would rather be dreaming.
The bionic machine guard team entered the academy, and after discovering this, the three quickly moved back to the dormitory, turned off the lights in Tom's single dormitory room, and pretended to be asleep.
"Will they search each dormitory?"
Rogers' low-pitched question made the other two shake, and they couldn't rule out this possibility.
"I made a disguise in the dormitory before I came, they don't want to wake up other people."
Hypnosis can be successful once, but there is no guarantee that it can be successful the second time or the third time in a short period of time.
The bionic guards were patrolling the classrooms on the streets of College Square. The three of them didn't know that during the time they were hiding, several groups of people who were not asleep in their college were caught.
Rumble!
Rumble!
"It's raining." Tom huddled at the foot of the desk and looked up at the window. There was thunder and lightning, and the rain slapped on the window.
Lightning and thunder rumbled, and it was raining in the whole city, and the rain washed the streets and alleys, not letting go of any corner.
The citizens who didn't fall asleep because of various reasons had the courage to go outdoors to investigate, even if they were lucky enough not to be knocked down by the beast, they couldn't escape the large amount of sleeping anesthetics in the rain.
The warning sound in the advertising light curtain was not affected by the heavy rain, and it was played over and over again. The bionic guard patrol team shuttled around every corner of the city. Their task was not to stop the beast but to find the citizens who went out, and to ensure that they were hypnotized. Timely delivery to the designated place.
Two palm-sized, paper-thin metal discs quickly slid across the air, submerged in the pouring rain.
Flakes flew in the rain, searching for the biometric information coded by registered citizens, and a green shimmer flickered at the top.
The base control room of the Board of Oversight is observing remotely.
"Thirty citizens were found on Ninth Avenue in Nanhu District"
Seeing the thirty people appearing in the light curtain, the detector scanned the biological information and sent it to the base control center.
"It's dead." The investigator calmly reported, and submitted another report according to the procedure
"Remains found on Ninth Avenue, request for a recovery team to be dispatched."
There are tens of thousands of holographic light curtains in the transparent cube room, playing real-time pictures of the city from different angles, and constantly adjusting the direction with the movement of the monitoring and detectors. One hundred investigators need to be responsible for the real-time dispatch of the entire area.
Investigators wearing special contact lenses sat in a theater-style room, their hands constantly sliding in the void.
The images they accepted were far more than the ones playing in the room at the moment. This was just a South Lake area, and other areas of Peters City were suffering from the same crisis.
A deacon looked at the report that just came in, the death toll was still jumping up, the corners of his eyes and mouth were completely indifferent and impatient, "Try to find these disobedient corpses who don't want to sleep, don't forget to let them make a list, these People need to make special records."
"Your Excellency, among the currently known lists, twenty-three people are already on the orange alert list."
Hearing this number, the deacon didn't have any special reaction. Compared with the population of Peters City, these numbers are so small that they can be ignored.
However, what needs to be dealt with must not be missed. Any small mistake or omission may cause unpredictable failures in the operation of Peters City. The more sophisticated and complex the instrument, the more careful maintenance is required.
The deacon glanced at the wall clock at the top of the hall, the pointer was swinging from side to side.
"Blessed by the stars."
As long as those damn beasts are dealt with, everything will return to normal when the next cycle day starts, and all troubles will be solved.
As for the Imperial Capital Star, if it cannot be resolved as soon as possible, there is only one way to go in the end.
"Your Excellency, a communication request from Your Excellency Carliss."
"Connect immediately."
In front of Deacon Leo, a fast-moving figure of Kalis appeared, and the beasts swallowed by the swamp from her perspective.
"The death lists in various districts have already appeared, and the situation is temporarily under control. As long as the death toll does not continue to expand, everything is under our control."
"Leo, I don't have time to listen to this nonsense." Callis's voice was gentle but implied warning.
Everything under control?
Caris Doutzen hoped this was true, but in fact the biggest unstable factor was erratic at the moment, and chaos was the only accurate description she could think of at this moment.
Perhaps it is the illusion of peace during the countless cycle days that makes most people lose their due vigilance and crisis response capabilities. Even if time does not move forward in a sense, the years they repeat every cycle day are It really existed.
Callis conveyed a series of mission instructions through secret language.
Deacon Leo showed some surprise at first, then listened quietly.
"Do as I say, the stakes are high, and I'm sure you can do it well."
There was some struggle and hesitation on Leo's face, and he didn't immediately accept the mission instruction "But the deacon..."
"Leo, it is precisely because the deacon is away that we need to take over. This is in line with Peters' emergency rules. I have authority."
This means that the previous words were not requests but orders and notifications.
After finishing the communication with the base of the Supervisory Committee, Carliss continued to try to talk to Kasol, but the signal interference was too strong, so it was obviously intercepted by humans.
Not only Kasol, but Carliss couldn't even get in touch with the responders she arranged in the city network, and there was never a reply.
"deacon"
When the investigator in charge of the Dongtai District Temporary Command Center saw Carlyss, he stood up in surprise, "Your Excellency Du Chen"
Carlisle folded her hands on her chest, and looked up at the scene. There were cracks in the sky. The situation in Dongtai District was even more severe than that in Nanhu District.
"How was the scene?"
"The number of ferocious beasts is within controllable range, but the cracks in the dense fog closed area appeared too fast to make repairs, and the space energy fluctuations triggered the large-scale emergence of small space storms."
The source is still the Imperial Star, and the space energy fluctuations it caused had a great impact on the stability of Peters City.
Carlisle raised her hand, and the hands of the retro watch on her wrist kept shaking, not just the fluctuation of space energy.
Those silver rays are the biggest potential threat.
It doesn't matter if you solve the source of all the troubles and then slowly clean up the beasts and repair the cracks in the forbidden area.
Caris Doutzen has already made preparations and is only waiting for the time when the plan will start, but the successful implementation of the whole plan requires the cooperation of Mo Yeneng who holds the star key.
"Blessed by the Stars" Caris Doutzen prayed very devoutly, and she hoped that Kasol's mission would be successfully completed.
On the other hand, in the desert of Imperial City, most areas are still covered by pale silver light. When the space collision becomes more intense and the closer it gets to Peters City, the area where the light silver light is dispelled also expands.
