Chapter 231: Ancient House in the Mist

Regarding the matter of the Mind Flayer in the city, Su Yi felt that the existing policies and countermeasures were sufficient.

In terms of the general tone, Su Yi no longer needed to issue additional orders, as the Jinling Command had fully accepted the solution to the Mind Flayer.

Based on Su Yi's policy, the Jinling Command additionally announced detailed regulations such as [Mind Flayers must be promptly resolved and reported], [It is strictly forbidden to use the excuse of "solving Mind Flayers" to harm others], [No malicious behavior or public show-off against Mind Flayers], etc.

Su Yi was subjectively more tolerant of the masses, and did not intend to suppress the fact that everyone was having fun with Mind Flayers.

But the Jinling Command did not think so, and still took a serious attitude.

However, it was also good to do so, at least the speed of resolving the Mind Flayer incident could be compressed as much as possible, while reducing and sharing Su Yi's concerns.

Su Yi no longer had to worry about the Mind Flayer, and he was more concerned about the ghost fog all over the city at the moment.

This was the theme of the third doomsday.

Su Yi did not know the characteristics of the fog, and the old man did not tell him more details.

In order to find out the potential threats that may exist in the fog, Su Yi has been connecting the perspectives of talents entering the fog at the same time, and at the same time closely following the movements of Chen Dafeng.

Chen Dafeng is actually fine, after all, he is an excellent individual with thousands of magicians.

Even if something strange happens, it may not really happen.

On the contrary, many talent units in Jinling City have been divided into multiple teams under the arrangement of the command center, and they are responsible for tasks such as [city patrol and search], [transportation of non-tradable materials], and [handling public security incidents in the city].

The fog of the third doomsday is extremely disruptive to Jinling, because Jinling entered a stable period last month, and many peacetime tasks in the city have re-entered the city's operating schedule.

Let alone other things, just a public security management is quite troublesome.

The fog spread throughout the city, causing people in some areas to be scattered and fearful, or there are evil people taking the opportunity to threaten the safety of ordinary people around them.

What should we do if the masses report to the relevant departments because of public security incidents? Should we send guards to deal with it?

Let’s not talk about the quarrels and fights among the family members. Can we ignore the malicious incidents that hurt people?

The credibility collapses very quickly, but it is not easy to gather it together. It all depends on these little details and small things.

This is also the most serious consideration of the Jinling Command. The personnel and talents of each management level are very smart. Everyone knows that they may not make mistakes in the pace of major events.

It is not difficult to deal with major events, but it is difficult to deal with these small things.

It is impossible for all kinds of team members to be equipped with several magicians to ensure safety when they go deep into the fog.

There are not so many magicians. The safety issues of going deep into the fog depend on each team itself. At this stage, people know the least about the fog, and it is also the most dangerous stage.

Su Yi naturally has to focus on observation and collect enough information as soon as possible.

"According to what the old man said, there will be frequent strange things in the fog, and the Mind Flayer incident is just one of the strange things..."

"Then think deeply according to this idea, will there be a situation where the city team encounters ghosts or something like that?"

Su Yi glanced at Dongfang Zhiyuan who closed his eyes to rest, and he recalled what the old man said before.

It seems that compared with encountering ghosts, the danger of encountering other non-ghosts is more serious.

Just when Su Yi was analyzing, the Jinling Command suddenly announced the latest city-wide warning notice on the chat channel.

"White Lotus Street in the south of the city! Strange things have occurred in the fog! Many teams and residents have been trapped! All relevant personnel are strictly prohibited from going out!"

"Warning! White Lotus Street in the south of the city has entered a closed state, and all ordinary personnel are strictly prohibited from going out! Lock the doors and windows! Be careful of the Mind Flayer taking the opportunity to disguise!"

"The corresponding combatants have quickly gone to the area, and the 833 magician team has gone there to deal with the strange things!"

The Jinling Command has divided all the magicians in the city into numbers, with 2-3 people in each team. Some powerful magicians only need to be equipped with a team of technology warriors.

These magician teams are specifically designed to deal with and solve the strange things that may happen in the fog.

"It has appeared, it's a new strange thing!"

After seeing this message, Su Yi hurriedly checked the latest personnel arrangement distribution map of the Jinling Command, and happened to find that there was a city security patrol guard in the trapped area.

They should be the trapped people.

Su Yi activated his skills and tried to connect to this talent team.

Fortunately, the fog did not hinder Su Yi's connection skills; with a change of perspective, Su Yi has successfully connected the perspective of this talent team.

......

Ninety percent of the personnel participating in the security guard are talent units, of which more than 80% of the talents come from Su Yi's command, and only a small number of guard members are talent units of the remaining survivors and the survivors themselves.

The talent units that Su Yi mobilized to the security guard are generally of D-level talent, and a small number are C-level and B-level.

The trapped security guard is a security guard composed of 6 D-level combat talents. All members are fully equipped with scientific and technological weapons, but do not have non-technological strength.

"Captain, we seem to be lost."

Su Yi's perspective shifted, and the security captain looked behind him: "I know, we seem to have been trapped here for half an hour, and we haven't seen any buildings."

From the perspective of the team members, there was a thick black fog all around, and they couldn't see the surroundings clearly.

There are no stars and moon in the sky, and there are no street lights or buildings around.

All they could see was the black fog that made them blind. The visibility was only about 2-3 meters around them, and they had to bend down to see clearly below the knees.

The six-person team couldn't even fully see the figures of the team members. They could only tie the six people with connecting ropes around their waists to ensure that no one fell behind in the fog.

Su Yi tried to use skill connection to communicate: "Can you hear me? I am the leader Su Yi. You are encountering something strange now. Stop where you are and wait for rescue."

Su Yi tried many times, but the team leader was unaware and was still observing the surrounding fog vigilantly.

This made Su Yi's heart sink: "It's broken. My skills are still affected. Now I can only watch but not communicate."

This fog was more restrictive than Su Yi thought. This was the first time he encountered a situation where he was unable to communicate with frontline talents.

"Captain, are we encountering something strange?"

Fortunately, the soldiers in the team are not stupid, and soon a team member raised a question. The captain nodded and said without looking back: "I guess so, according to the content of the third doomsday manual given by the command headquarters, if it is just a pure fog, what are we doing?" You can still see the buildings after walking here for half an hour.”

"But now we are like a ghost beating a wall, we can't see anything at all."

The captain's brows furrowed.

You must know that although the team is operating in a thick fog covering the whole city, as soldiers, they have a strong sense of direction. They can also enjoy the increased effects of Lin Yue's characteristics and talents at any time. Under normal circumstances, they are not easily fooled. Trapped.

"Captain, look ahead and to the right, at two o'clock!"

Suddenly, a team member lowered his voice and reminded: "I seem to see a building in front of me."

"Um?"

The captain raised his gun and looked to the right. Through the special firearm lens, he vaguely saw an unclear building in the fog, which was vaguely a residential building.

"We should be out of the fog."

One team member's expression softened slightly, and someone next to him picked up the security record book: "According to what the reporting officer said, someone in the community had a conflict due to the Mind Flayer incident, which resulted in the two parties fighting each other. The people nearby couldn't move away, so they were in the chat channel. Report to the security team.”

"Let's go over and have a look."

The captain took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the gun, and reminded the members around him: "I don't think we have come out. Things may not be that simple. Everyone, please cheer up."

"If something goes wrong, I allow you to shoot at any time, and I will bear the consequences!"

The captain looked serious and led the team towards the building in the mist.

The building looked far away, but the captain and the members walked a few steps and arrived at the bottom of the building.

When everyone looked up, their expressions became strange.

But I saw that the building in front of me was a high-rise and large-scale house that was completely different from the modern community. It was an old house!

It seems to be an alien that has traveled through time and space, struggling out from the dark abyss of history. The green tiles and steps are covered with moss, and an unpleasant smell wafts out, as if it has been abandoned for many years.

"Is there...a house like this in the south area of ​​the city?"

"No, I'm pretty sure."

"The style of this house is a bit like the Republic of China period."

The members were discussing in low voices, everyone's eyes were alert, and they all tightened their grip on the firearms in their hands.

Everyone could feel a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. Everyone was silent, waiting for the captain's order.

The captain's eyes fell on the mottled outer wall of the old house, which was full of cracks. Looking along the towering outer wall to the right, he could still vaguely see the figures of thick trees.

There seemed to be several old trees of unknown age planted there. The old branches and leaves were twisted in the mist, and the treetops swayed in the silent wind, making a whimpering sound full of sorrow.

"Go, retreat!"

The captain didn't hesitate too much, turned around and led the team members away.

Knowing that there was something strange about this house, he couldn't possibly risk his life with his team members.

Change the route, quickly find a way out of here, and then report the abnormal situation to the command center.

But soon, the captain realized that he was taking it too easy.

No matter which direction he led the team to leave, he would end up inexplicably in front of the ancient house after taking only a few steps.

It's like a ghost hitting the wall, and it's like this ancient house can walk on its own.

The team members were trapped in the ancient house area and could not get out no matter what.

"Captain, the only way we haven't tried is inside this house."

"Maybe it's impossible. The only way out of this damn place is inside the house?"

A member whispered a reminder, and the captain glanced at him with a serious expression: "Do you want to try it? This place is very weird. According to the command, there may be ghosts, which are not things we can solve."

"Maybe we will die."

"Captain, I'm not afraid of death."

A team member responded in a deep voice: "Just make sure at least one of us leaves and tell the command center what happened here."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look!"

The captain hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded. He took the initiative to stand at the front of the team and reached out to push the door open.

He tried several times, but the heavy door of the ancient house didn't move at all, as if it was locked.

"Can't open it?"

The captain frowned and looked up at the gap in the door of the ancient house. He felt like he was being spied on by something.

This made the captain a little agitated. He signaled with his eyes to several team members in front of him, and everyone used the butt of the gun to hit the gap in the door, trying to open a hole.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull knocking sound echoed endlessly in the dark fog, and the dull and strange echo continued to spread.

After knocking for a while, the door suddenly loosened.

The captain's expression was happy: "It's open!"

But before he said it, he saw a face suddenly float out of the darkness of the gap in the door with a "creaking" sound.

The face was as pale as a ghost, and it was murderous. It stared at the captain with dark pupils!
