The satellites of the ten cities in the world that suffered from the disaster all failed to capture the area. They could only capture a blurry blood-colored mass of air.
The thunderstorm and the sky full of flying insects were extremely bad, and the signal was extremely poor. Many drones had crashed not long after they took off. The helicopters and fighter jets parked at the base near the Qingan area did not take off and could only continue to wait for orders.
The images captured by the drones from the sky showed that the Qing 'an area was undergoing a mass evacuation. Multiple departments were working together from multiple directions at the same time. Countless vehicles, transport vehicles, and buses were carrying the people leaving, carrying the hope of survival.
There were many Phecda members participating in the evacuation. Direct encounters with the frogworms and the Inhumans were happening.
The Night Disaster would last for 3 days but they had to end this chaos as soon as possible.
Be it the Spell Department or the Special Action Department, they were temporarily under the command of the headquarters.
The Spell Department's Special Mobile Force, the Weatherwalkers, was led by Lou Xiaoning. There were 15 members in total but she did not see many familiar faces that she had fought alongside in recent years. Among the familiar faces were Uncle Dan, Wang Ruoxiang, Yang Henan and Zhang Huohuo from the previous Demon Hunters; Xiao Xu and Chang Qianhang.
This time, they could not count on the members of GOA and WMO to help each other because the world was too busy and the incident was too sudden.
Before the death of Gu Jun, the disappearance of Wu Shiyu and the migration of Deng Ximei and Peacock to the Mysterium World, they were the main force.
Behind them, there was a commotion. The news that the higher-ups of the Special Operations Department had been assassinated by an unknown force had shocked everyone who knew about it.
On the way to Qian An, as expected, a batch of people were promoted from the headquarters to take up the new management of the Special Action Department. The Special Action Department's Special Mobile Force still operated independently, but the command at the headquarters was mainly handled by Elder Tong. This Special Mobile Force had undergone some structural changes.
The moment the Weatherwalkers stepped into Qian An City, the Special Mobile Force was tossed aside and handed over to Tong Ye.
"Everyone, pay attention. The dark aura here is getting thicker. We are indeed approaching the center …"
A small armored convoy drove on the quiet road. The closer they got to the city center, the more desolate the surroundings became.
This kind of desolation was not due to the destruction of the environment. Although the blood rain and the frog worms had ruined this place, it was still a bustling area in the center of Qing 'an City, with newly built high-rise buildings everywhere. However, it was not like before, when the convoy passed by, people would cry for help on both sides of the street.
At the time of the incident, it was not yet time to get off work. It was impossible for those high-rise buildings to be empty. On the contrary, there should be a lot of people.
Moreover, unlike the low buildings that obstructed their line of sight, people looking down from the tall buildings would definitely be able to see the convoy.
Every member of the Fairweather Squad felt their hearts sink. Why was it so quiet?
"Based on experience, if this is caused by a ritual, then the power of the ritual will usually spread out from the center of the ritual. Therefore, the closer to the center, the stronger the abnormal power will be. The rest of us can more or less sense it. Of course, Gu Jun and Shi Yu are stronger than me. "
In the armored vehicle, Lou Xiaoning was talking to Chang Qianhang.
Chang Qianhang was the team's technical support in ancient Egyptology. If this place could be connected to the outside world, Chang Qianhang would not have come to the frontline because the middle-aged man did not have much frontline combat experience. Before this, be it in the local police station or the Spell Department, he had been involved in logistics and archaeological work.
Not every archaeologist was as capable as Yu Chi but at least Chang Qianhang had the courage and the determination to sacrifice himself at any moment.
This team needed someone who was well-versed in ancient Egyptology, that might be the key to solving the fog.
At that moment, the captain of Unit 2, Li Sen's deep and surprised voice came from their communicator. "We've encountered those mutants. They are indeed armed with stone weapons … Their speed … Face to face, face to face …"
With a click, the signal was cut off. They had no idea what had happened to Unit 2, but they were definitely in a difficult situation.
"Captain Li? Captain Li? " Lou Xiaoning called several times but there was no response. She cursed under her breath and stopped. "Everyone, prepare yourselves, a battle might break out at any moment!"
Due to the fact that most of the normal personnel were sacrificed as soon as they encountered the Inhumans, they had very little relevant information. They only knew from eyewitness accounts that the Inhumans seemed to know spells. Their movement speed and spellcasting speed were extremely fast. It was not even clear if they were made of flesh and blood.
Stone weapons. Chang Qianhang heard the word 'stone' again. He thought to himself, 'It can't be a coincidence that the stones keep appearing … Stones have a sense of reverence for ancient civilizations because stone represents immortality and eternity … but the ancient Egyptians stopped using stone weapons a long time ago …'
The meaning of Professor Sun Lun's last words was still unclear. The team behind them was trying their best to decipher it.
The 'stone disease' had alerted everyone because 'plague' and 'measles disaster' were two different disasters. The measles disaster was right before their eyes but the plague disaster appeared to be lurking in the dark, or perhaps that was the purpose of this ritual. There was also the information about Imhotep and the real Sun God. The team had many speculations and deductions.
Pyramids? The stone disease was made of stone? Or something else? Did the power of the plague want to kill the God of Medicine?
But Wang Ruoxiang and Cai Zixuan, these people who studied medicine, knew the inside story. It was easy for them to link it to an unknown prophecy — the 'petrification disease'.
Wu Shiyu had mentioned the worries about the 'chaos of the heavenly secrets' and the petrification disease before he disappeared.
Therefore, although these clues were messy, they seemed to form a bloody net that covered these cataclysmic cities.
To deal with the possibility of petrification disease, Phecda had already started an investigation on the recent bone hyperplasia and other diseases in various hospitals.
This was because in Gu Jun's previous conjectures about petrification disease, petrification actually referred to ossification, like the extremely rare progressive muscle ossification.
"Stop! Stop … "
Lou Xiaoning looked at the scene on the street in front of her and stared with her left eye. The other members of the team also tensed up, and the convoy immediately stopped.
The mutated area this time was not like the sealed black fog zone, nor was it like the two mutated areas in Mo Bei that would explode and expand again and again. The insects and flies that filled the air were not as scary as the locust swarm, but the consequences of being bitten by them were still unknown.
This time was indeed different from before. The street in front of them was like a mirage.
They saw the tall buildings that stood in the blood rain seemed to shake and change shape. In the blink of an eye, the tall buildings turned into giant pyramids.
In the blink of an eye, it was the tall buildings again … These buildings were mutating.
