Chapter 123: Capture the Thief and the King

The warning from the Disaster Prevention Bureau was still a step late.

Although the disaster prevention information was sent to people's mobile phones in advance, the way the disaster broke out and the speed of its spread were far beyond expectations.

It only took a few minutes.

With the Heisen Building as the center, the two surrounding blocks fell into large-scale chaos.

First, countless cracks appeared on the streets around the Heisen Building, followed by large-scale road collapse.

The rapidly growing macrophagic vines emerged from the abyss-like black hole, overturned the vehicles on the street, ran over the pedestrians, and smashed the outer wall of the building with a savage attitude, frantically destroying the load-bearing structures inside the high-rise building.

After all, the macrophagic vines are special plants that can dominate the depths of the Mirror Lake Forest and allow the Forest Defense Bureau to monitor them.

Even in this steel jungle built by humans, it still shows an extremely exaggerated adaptability.

The high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete could not stop the breakthrough of the macrophagous vines, not to mention that the macrophagous vines here seemed to have undergone some kind of reinforcement. Not only did the flower buds on the top glow with colorful phosphorescence, but the surface of the vines was also covered with black tumors the size of a human head.

The high-rise building that was hit internally collapsed to the right and hit another commercial building next to it.

The staff in the building could not escape, and could only try to find a space to stop between the inclined walls and shout for help.

The fire flickered and the smoke billowed.

Several rescue helicopters arrived at the scene first. They should have been put into action immediately, but they were disturbed by the smoke and macrophagous vines. After many attempts, they still could not get close.

They could only keep a safe distance and investigate the situation at the disaster site at the same time to cooperate with the subsequent rescue operations on the ground.

The red and blue warning lights flashed continuously, and the sirens sounded around the block.

Half an hour ago, all the major departments involved in disaster relief operations in Beijing and Hangzhou had received early warning information. After learning the detailed location, they were dispatched urgently, and the speed of disaster relief was far faster than before.

The major media from Beijing and Hangzhou also came with them.

These news guys are really crazy about chasing hot spots.

The reporters took the crew to the scene to shoot the disaster relief scenes and uploaded them to the Internet in a live broadcast, which immediately attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. However, before they could shoot much content, the police came forward to drive them away.

"It's not safe here. Secondary disasters may occur at any time. Get in the car and leave here!"

This disaster relief is different from the past. The attack caused by the Nightmare Organization is not something that ordinary people can solve. The macrophagous vines are still highly active and indiscriminately attack any living creature that tries to get close.

Not to mention the firefighters, even the accompanying police could not enter the building. They could only settle for the second best. Under the instructions of the top leaders, they evacuated the people as soon as possible and waited for the extraordinary people from the patrol team and the special service department to arrive.

"Excuse me, what happened inside the Senhai Building, and where did those plants come from?"

After all, they are media in the era of the Great Cataclysm. The supernatural events that often occur in Beijing and Hangzhou are the best materials for them. How could they miss such an opportunity to gain a lot of popularity?

In fact, it is not just these news media. There are also a large number of people stranded in the nearby streets. It is not that they do not want to leave, but the sudden disaster has caused the streets to be blocked, and the already dense crowds are even more crowded.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Leave here quickly. The disaster may spread at any time."

The police frowned and was about to step forward and scold, but heard a cry behind him. He turned back subconsciously and saw a fire truck that was extinguishing a fire remotely being rolled into the air by several vines. The water tanks in the car were squeezed and burst, and the water flow was sprayed everywhere.

Several giant vines that were passing nearby were watered and became more and more agitated. The flower buds on the top suddenly opened, like a ferocious giant python, sweeping over the fleeing crowd on the street, leaving only broken flesh and blood on the ground.

Such a horrific scene immediately caused a wider range of panic, and the situation became more chaotic and turbulent.

At this critical moment, the armed forces, patrol teams and special service departments in Jinghang City finally arrived at the scene by helicopter.

Considering the situation at the scene, all combatants were divided into two parts.

The extraordinary people and personnel equipped with individual airborne equipment directly airdropped to the top of the building, quickly entered the building from the top floor, and rescued the survivors in the building as much as possible while the Heisen Building had not been broken and overturned by the macrophagous vines.

The rest of the people airdropped to the vicinity of the Heisen Building and attacked the macrophagous vines to prevent it from spreading further.

The mission performed by the former was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, but there was no other way. The Nightmare Organization clearly wanted to take the thousands of employees in the Heisen Building as hostages and force the Jinghang government to give up directly bombing the Heisen Building.

Of course, the Jinghang Municipal Government is not without countermeasures.

A task force composed of elites drawn from various departments has already started operations and broke into the Heisen Building from the ground.

At the same time

The transport plane hovered on the roof of the shopping mall opposite the Heisen Building, and Yu Ke and Ansai Li landed one after another.

Yu Ke, carrying a blackthorn longbow on his back and holding the Leviathan Axe in his hand, came to the edge of the rooftop.

Looking around, it was a doomsday scene.

Collapsed road, terrified fleeing crowds, overturned buildings.

Although I had seen the scene on the way here, it was a different feeling to be there in person.

The cold wind blew the corners of my clothes, the panicked wails of the people lingered in my ears, and the bloody smell kept drilling into my nose.

Watching the giant vines that were frantically destroying the Heisen Building, Yu Ke half-squinted his eyes. This exaggerated growth rate was obviously abnormal. His intuition told him that the appearance of the giant vines here might cause big problems.

"According to the information provided by Binghu, the core figure who created this attack, the leader of the Nightmare Organization, 'Ma Tanzhu', is currently in the laboratory at the bottom of the Senhai Building. If we eliminate him, we may be able to end this disaster."

Fully armed, Anseli conveyed the meaning of the senior management of the Disaster Prevention Bureau to Yu Ke, and paused and said,

"The task force has already started the operation. They will send the route to the watch. We have to rush over to join them."

Catch the thief first. No matter what ulterior purpose Ma Tanzhu wants to achieve with this disaster, as long as he is physically destroyed before he realizes his plan, there is still room for maneuver.

This solution can be described as simple and crude, and it is completely relying on great efforts to create miracles.

But the current situation does not allow the Disaster Prevention Bureau to plan carefully.

Innocent people are killed and injured every minute and every second. The whole country is paying attention to what is happening here. There are major news media on the Internet broadcasting live. The pressure on the Beijing and Hangzhou municipal governments can be imagined.

This is why the task force did not wait for Yu Ke and Ansai Li to act in advance.

The original plan was to wait for the two sides to meet before taking joint action, but the speed at which the situation deteriorated was far beyond expectations.

"Will it rain tonight?"

Yu Ke suddenly asked while Ansai Li was checking the route.

"Uh, the weather forecast shows that it will rain heavily in the second half of the night. Is there any problem?"

"Things are in trouble. Follow me. We must fight quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Taking advantage of the edge of the mall rooftop, Yu Ke jumped and stepped on the signboard outside the mall and quickly fell to the ground.

At this time, he was recalling the scene of hunting in the macrophagous vine forest deep in the Jinghu Forest.

If Yu Ke remembered correctly, the macrophagous vines were used to hunting in the rain.

What consequences would those "pollens" that can arouse the appetite of organisms and make them frantically approach the macrophagous vines spread in Jinghang City?

Landing on the side of the street, Yu Ke took a quick glance, stepped on the road surface that had not collapsed, and went straight to the first floor lobby of the Heisen Building. At the same time, he turned on the camera and prepared to film the situation inside.

This time it was not for making a video, but to gain professional experience as a forest ranger. Swinging the battle axe to cut off the oncoming vines, Yu Ke noticed the black tumors on the latter's surface and the colorful phosphorescence, and his heart sank again.

The Nightmare Organization really put the previously captured distorted heart into this attack.

Yu Ke led the way in front, and Ansai Li followed closely behind, reporting to him the progress of the task force.

"The elevator leading to the underground laboratory has been destroyed, and we can only take the safe passage. The task force has sent us the route."

Slowing down to let Ansai Li walk side by side with him, Yu Ke didn't have time to stop and check the route now, so he simply let the former lead the way, and didn't care about assisting other personnel in on-site rescue along the way, they had more important goals.

The terrifying macrophagous vines in the eyes of ordinary people obviously couldn't stop Yu Ke's steps, and soon he rushed into the hall with Ansai Li.

The hall, which was originally magnificent, is now crumbling. Macrophagous vines are running through the ceiling, and large pieces of rubble and various debris fall from the gap from time to time.

"The safe passage to the underground laboratory is inside, go this way."

After Ansai Li identified the direction, he led Yu Ke forward. When passing the elevator on the first floor, Yu Ke glanced at the screen showing the floor. It was pitch black. It should be that the internal power supply line was damaged.

But just as he stepped away, there were noises coming from the elevator shaft.

Is there something in the elevator?

Yu Ke kept running forward while paying attention.

"We're here. The safe passage is here. The password has been successfully cracked. Yu Ke?"

After finding the passage door, Ansai Li looked back at Yu Ke and noticed that he had been looking at the elevator. He couldn't help but say.

"It's not possible to take the elevator. If we get stuck halfway, we're done."

Before he finished speaking, the two elevator doors facing each other suddenly burst open, and the giant vines stretched out from them, forcibly expanding the entrance and exit. This alone would be fine, but now the whole building is almost occupied by the giant vines, which is nothing.

The problem is that these vines rushing up from the elevator shaft are carrying some "goods".

Ants with bodies close to cars and covered with bone spurs crawled out from the vines in groups, and their tentacles on their foreheads swayed left and right as if they were looking for prey; a deformed giant monster with two heads smashed its arms on the ground, and saliva dripped from its fangs; a giant lizard with tumors on its back spit out its long tongue, and its turbid yellow vertical pupils were filled with bloodthirsty murderous light

Yu Ke and Ansaili, who were closest to them, quickly attracted their attention. They immediately changed direction and swarmed towards where the two were!
