Even though it looked peaceful, Wu Shiyu had a feeling that with every passing moment, the black fog would collapse a little more.
However, she had no idea how to help the people inside get out.
Turning to Lucky, she asked, "How about you guys go in and take a look?"
"It's not that we don't want to, we can't!" Lucky slapped his feet anxiously. His claw pointed at the black fog. "Now it's a fight between the two sides. The more things we put into this place, the more it will resemble this place. It's like if a person enters Dreamland mentally, the only way to wake them up is to wake them up, not to strengthen their dream. Our Zoogs suggest we place more of their things around this place while you continue to sleep and call for them. "
Lucky was actually spouting nonsense to prevent himself from entering the Black Fog area.
As long as Wu Shiyu turned back to sleep, they would be safe.
But when Wu Shiyu heard that, she thought it made sense.
Real life competition, mental pillar! Previously, the two mutated areas at Mo Bei were won with the Life Circle Operation. Now they could use the Life Circle Operation as well. Gu Jun, the Mist Breakers, and the others who had built up a mental support and were known to Phecda to increase their fighting power.
There were other people in the black fog but the colleagues from Eastern State's Investigation Department, even though they did not have mental pillars, their passion was recorded. They could be moved over as well. The stronger the force here, the more help they could provide to the people trapped on the other side.
Then there was herself. She really needed to go back to sleep and call for Dirty-minded Jun.
After Wu Shiyu explained these thoughts to the command central, he ran to the bench and lay down. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
At the same time, Tong Ye approved the operation and the command central sent out the order to the frontline.
Actually, the frontline had already prepared for another real life competition. This was the standard backup plan to deal with the mutated areas. Therefore, once the order was given, the real life competition around Anfu Village started immediately.
Convoy after convoy of transport vehicles drove over, and the Action Department personnel unloaded the Earth's plants from the vehicles. They were all vibrant saplings and flowers.
By now, Phecda was not completely clueless about the foreign world. He knew that it was a land of death. Furthermore, in Wu Shiyu's strange dream, he had explored some of the areas there. It was not exactly lifeless. The power of the Black Mountain Goat was related to life, but it was a different kind of dark vitality, strange, twisted, and disorderly.
Therefore, green bamboos, bright sunflowers, fragrant roses … their auras were different.
The mental support for Gu Jun and the fogbreakers were soon in place.
In order to prepare for the possible need to reinforce the pillars, the fog-breakers had made preparations at the frontline before they entered the black fog area, and they had been improving and strengthening the pillars ever since.
For example, among the things he prepared for Uncle Dan, there were portraits of beautiful women. Some of the portraits even had the beauty herself kissing the cover; he prepared some firearms for Lou Xiaoning, they were all extremely rare; and he prepared some archeological tools for Yu Chi.
Initially, they were prepared for more valuable relics, each one of them was dug out from the ground, they would be more suitable for Yu Chi's pillars.
But when Yu Chi found out about this, he almost cursed at the headquarters. How could they place such valuable relics at the frontline? What if they were damaged? They did not need to be affected by the flames of war, they would not be able to withstand the torment of being moved around. These worries would instead make him feel ill at ease, and his spirit would be extremely anxious.
Such valuable relics!
The command center wanted to take a step back and exchange for some cultural relics that could not be said to be unprecious, but were not that precious, not unique, and not very old?
This angered Yu Chi. There was no relic that was not valuable, every relic had its own uniqueness.
His pillar related to archeology and relics was not to claim the relics for his own but to see them, protect them, unravel the fog of history and bring their glory back to the world. Risking a relic was going against his pillar. He could not use the relics, that was not negotiable.
Therefore, for Yu Chi, the frontline only used a batch of archeological tools like shovels, brushes and scanners.
For Gu Jun, some medical and cinematography tools were transported over from the frontline. Then there was Wu Shiyu, she was the pillar.
After the pillars were in place, the number of plants in the life circle continued to increase, gradually filling up the little usable space around the alley, layer by layer, and layer by layer. Both at the scene and at the command central, many people stared at the silent black fog.
The fog moved faintly like there was a draft coming from within.
On the other side, Lucky and his Zoogs wanted to escape. The danger from the black fog intensified …
While no one was paying attention, they worked together to lift the bench that Wu Siyu was resting on. They moved it further and further away.
Just like that, the distance between them and the mutated area increased from one meter to two meters …
Wu Siyu's expression did not change. She had already fallen asleep, and she slept rather soundly.
First, it was hazy. Then, her consciousness slowly became aware of her own existence in the haze. She then tried to feel the haze again. She didn't deliberately look for anything. She just let her spirit drift along with it like the fog, going far away and entering a different dimension.
She had tried this many times before but she would always be stopped by something. The two strange dreams that she had had were not based on her own consciousness.
This time, Wu Shiyu felt herself floating. The feeling of obstruction came again. It was like she was stuck to a pile of rotten mud, she could not move forward …
Previously, she would wake up after a few more struggles, and that would drain her mental power.
If she did not struggle, her mental power would be drained and she would wake up after a certain amount of time.
But this time, Wu Siyu did not plan to struggle. Since she could not move forward, then she would stop here. She thought about the rotten mud and allowed her synesthesia to spread it out. The rotten mud kept changing its shape. Sometimes it was a hand, sometimes it was a leg. All of them looked very strange and deformed …
These things should belong to the area of the black fog.
She did not make any judgment, she merely observed like an outsider.
Slowly, the rotten mud morphed into another shape. It was no longer human tissue but a bird with wings. It was a crow.
This indescribable crow flapped its wings and cawed in an indescribable voice.
"Why does it sound like it's calling me? Fine, I'll leave it to fate. "
In the haze, Wu Shiyu felt like she was following this crow. It felt like she was the crow, flying through the fog and into the gray sky.
The scene in front of her gradually changed. Many fragments of the illusion gradually solidified. She once again arrived at the swamp in the strange dream. She did not see the Shadow Forest last time. There were many differences. The swamp was flooded with blood, and there were pieces of flesh and blood everywhere.
Suddenly, she saw a few figures lying on the mud of the swamp, half of their bodies submerged in blood.
They were obviously heavily injured and exhausted. Even the slightest movement was difficult.
"Dirty-minded Jun!" Wu Shiyu recognized one of the figures. The figure tried to get up but collapsed with a thud. Then he started to crawl again.
The face was mostly covered by blood and filth but Gu Jun recognized it immediately. It was Gu Jun. He was in a dangerous situation.
She could see the figures around him more clearly. She recognized that they were the members of the fog-breakers, but there were only seven of them. One was missing, and the seven of them were either lying on the ground, motionless, or only crawling slightly. It seemed like they could not hold on any longer …
Wu Shiyu panicked. She almost woke up. She forced herself to calm down. She did not try to figure out who was who or how badly injured they were.
She did not forget her mission. She focused all her attention on Gu Jun. Using him as a base to establish a connection, she called, "Dirty-minded Jun, I, Wu Shiyu, am here again. This place is about to collapse, I'll bring you out! Crow, the crow in the sky, come with me. Dirty-minded Jun! "
She called again and again as her mental power drained rapidly. Soon, she felt herself drifting away from this place.
Since she was in a dream, Wu Shiyu could see more. A sea of blood was surging up from the swamp. Soon, it would erupt and drown the whole area. When that happened, the area where the two worlds overlapped would collapse.
"Let's go, in a horror movie, you're doomed!" Wu Shiyu shouted.
Suddenly, the bloodied figure seemed to have heard her. He slowly raised his head to look up and said in a hoarse voice, "Dirty-minded Yu …"
Instantly, Wu Shiyu had a different feeling. The connection had been established. This was her only chance. For the first time in this dream, she tried to pull Dirty-minded Jun and the rest out of this place. "Come on, let's go home! The Recreational Department is waiting for you. "
At that moment, many strange illusions rushed at her like they were trying to consume her. However, she did not let go of Gu Jun's hand.
"I've even dreamed about Dirty-minded Jun giving birth before …" She struggled against this place. "That's not that strange at all …"
Just like that, Wu Shiyu suddenly saw the sea of blood below the swamp break through all the obstacles and drown everything on the ground.
All she could do was continue to hold on and call …
Suddenly, Wu Siyu was jolted awake by the sudden jolt. She almost fell off the chair but she soon realized the reason for the jolt was because the chair was moving. The Zoogs were moving the chair surreptitiously. Once they sensed she was awake, they were so scared that they let go of the chair. That was why she was jolted.
"We …" Lucky patted his head nervously and explained, "We're changing this chair into a rocking chair, it'll be more comfortable to sleep in."
'Alright, 'Wu Shiyu decided to deal with them later. Even though she would usually just turn her head away from them, this was a more urgent matter.
Now that there was a more urgent situation, she stood up and walked over while shouting, "Attention, everyone, attention, the black fog area is about to explode!"
Wu Shiyu had no idea whether she had succeeded or not. The people who heard the news were even more confused. However, the frontline immediately took action. The people who were still around the life circle had just retreated when the black fog started to move visibly.
There was still no sound. The black fog did not leave the area but it moved faster and faster until it looked like a vortex.
Be it the frontline personnel, Tong Ye at the headquarters or Ceng Chanjun who was on the line, their hearts started to spin and their breathing stopped.
When the vortex was spinning so fast that it could not be seen clearly, a strange crow caw suddenly came out from inside. In an instant, the vortex disappeared into the void.
The black fog that had shrouded the alleyway of Anfu Village for many days disappeared. The alleyway was once again exposed to the sunlight. It was 2 pm and the sun was still shining brightly.
The plants around the life circle were unharmed but the villagers' houses and the basketball court at the end of the alleyway had all disappeared. The place was now a rotting muddy ground.
On the muddy ground, there were some figures. Some were wailing civilians and some were immobilized …
Wu Shiyu widened her eyes. The scene she saw was no different from the dream. The heavily injured Gu Jun and the rest were lying on the ground.
Success, the people who were trapped inside the black fog had been pulled back.
"Help, help!" She screamed.
At the same time, Tong Ye, Ceng Chanjun and the rest who were watching the scene from the screen were excited and worried. They wanted to know what the casualties were …
Before the cheers could come from the command central, the atmosphere was heavy. The drone camera captured a ghastly image. Flesh and blood littered the ground, it was hard to tell what kind of cruelty it had been. The medical team that was already on standby rushed into the alleyway under the protection of the heavy protective gear. Along with them were the members from Spell, Ancient Seal and Action.
"Dirty-minded Jun?" Wu Shiyu followed beside him. Stepping on the mud, he ran to the bloody figure. It was indeed Gu Jun. There was the stench of blood but it was salty.
"Quick … save … him …" Gu Jun used the last of his energy to say. His left hand was bleeding, his right leg was bleeding, his whole body was covered in wounds.
Before him, Yu Chi was half submerged in the mud. His open eyes were clouded with blood and his chest was a mess of flesh and blood.
The paramedics started to treat everyone at the same time, but Yu Chi stopped after the physical examination. There was no breathing or heartbeat. His body was stiff and cold, and it seemed like he had lost all his ribs. His heart and many other wounds on his body were swelling and rotting …
In the foreign world, the rate of zombification would increase.
In Yu Chi's condition, there was no chance of ECMO or CPR …
Feng Peiqian crawled over with difficulty. She was carried onto the stretcher by the paramedics. She mumbled, "I'm fine, save Captain Yu, save him …"
Wu Siyu looked at Gu Jun being carried onto the stretcher. She looked at the others being carried onto the stretcher. Lou Xiaoning was unconscious, Deng Ximei, Uncle Dan, Peacock and Malachite were still groggy, Bell Grant was missing and Captain Yu …
"Yu Chi …" Gu Jun said hoarsely. His eyes were lifeless, "Sacrificed."
"Bell Grant, sacrificed." He added, "Wang Ke, sacrificed. Cao Yicong, sacrificed. Li Liangbin, sacrificed. Wang Yong, sacrificed …"
Inside the command central, everyone was silent.
Tong Ye grabbed a bottle of wine and gulped it down. Through the screen, Ceng Chanjun's eyes were red.
