The blood rain that shrouded the sky above Qing 'an City gradually stopped. After 11 hours of violence, the color of blood began to fade and dawn was coming.
The evacuation of the city was still in progress. Without Wind and Rain, the bug-frogs and the Inhumans, the evacuation became easier. Teams of buses carried the citizens away.
The city was getting quieter. More and more streets were deserted, leaving behind abandoned cars and stray animals that rummaged through trash cans.
At the busiest part of the city, the anomaly had not been resolved. This was the frontline. Many vehicles and people arrived.
After the Temple of Napatan guards left behind some of the disappearing bodies, the rest retreated into the changing pyramids. The streets outside disappeared without a trace.
The engineers had already set up a field hospital for the wounded to receive first aid. Uncle Dan and Wang Ruoxiang had already completed Yang Henan's scapular amputation. Yang Henan was then rushed out of Qing An City by a medic to the nearby Yi Ji City for further treatment.
Both Special Mobile Force Unit 2 and Special Mobile Force Unit were there as well. They were currently discussing their next move with the Fairweather Unit.
The signal here was still bad. It was difficult to establish an effective real-time communication with the command central. Tong Ye had said that the frontline had their own judgment.
Therefore, whether to attack or defend, whether to bomb the building or infiltrate the mutated building, it was all up to the frontline.
Be it the leader of the Harvesters, Lou Xiaoning or the leader of the Special Ops Unit, Lee Zhenjing, they had the same opinion. They should attack the ritual center immediately and end it when the enemy's ritual was at its weakest.
Those who had received the latest communication from the frontline all knew where the change was coming from. Wu Shiyu, Capri Island.
He had also received the latest news from Wu Shiyu. The rituals across the world had combined into a big ritual to summon the Little Ram God.
Even though Wu Siyu had single-handedly destroyed all the rituals — perhaps even the most crucial stone weapon ritual — there was no telling how many cultists were still lurking in the dark. If time dragged on, these cultists might start another stone weapon ritual at another location.
Therefore, it was necessary to immediately break through the rituals in various places. Every time the world broke through one place, the pressure on other places would be greatly reduced. Like toppling dominoes, the dawn of victory had already appeared.
"There are many tall buildings in front of the pyramid, but based on New York's situation, the tallest building in the mutated street, the Empire State Building, is the middle point of the ritual. The tallest building here, the Hongxing Building, might also be the middle point of the ritual."
Lou Xiaoning said as she looked at the buildings in front of her. Now, the frequency at which they turned into pyramids had decreased, about once a minute.
However, it was still a mutated area. After the drones and driverless vehicles entered, there were signs of malfunctioning.
Earlier, the drone had tried to drop many flashbangs and bombs on the roof of Hongxing Building, but there were no explosions. The power of the ritual was still strong there.
Beside Lou Xiaoning, Chang Qianhang, Xiao Xu, and Li Zhenjing were also watching.
Chang Qianhang's face was pale. When a strong wind blew past, his weak body swayed. He said, "The ancient Babylonians, the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Nubians … Almost all the ancient people believed that the taller the building, the more they could come into contact with the gods."
"The Buzhou Mountain is broken, and the sky is blocked." Xiao Xu said strangely before adding, "Hongxing Building is the tallest building in Qing An City. It's 275 meters tall and 296 meters tall. It has 4 floors underground and 68 floors above ground. It's 341 meters away from us."
The group knew that the kid had a keen eye for numbers, so they could not be wrong.
"Our target is Hongxing Building …" Li Zhenjing nodded as he thought of something.
Originally, the leader of the Special Ops Unit was Xiang Jiantian, and the size of the unit was several times larger than it was now. However, there was a sudden change when they were about to depart. The size of the unit was reduced to 26 people, with Li Zhenjing as the leader. Zhang Jingjing and the rest were still around.
Li Zhenjing came from the Spell Department, so he was familiar with the abilities of the people around him. He also understood the current situation.
He also knew what kind of state the Fairweather Squad was in. Unlike them, this squad had fought until they were exhausted.
In the past few hours, without much rest, Chang Qianhang was on the verge of collapsing. Lou Xiaoning, Xiao Xu, and the rest were barely holding on.
"Leader Li." Lou Xiaoning looked at Li Zhenjing. Even though she was expressionless, she took the initiative to call him aside for a one-on-one conversation. "You know we're pretty much useless now, but we still have experience, ancient Egyptian knowledge, and Xiao Xu. You guys have spirit and energy, so we really need everyone to work together."
Lou Xiaoning was a hot-tempered and competitive person. Ever since they became enemies, she had never been kind to the Special Ops Unit.
However, she was now the leader of a unit, and this was the first time she was a real leader. After Xue Ba, Yu Chi, and Gu Jun, she was always preparing for the future.
This bit of pleasantries didn't count for much.
Li Zhenjing was surprised. "Leader Lou, of course we'll work together …"
"Let me finish first." Lou Xiaoning interrupted him. She looked around at the scene at the frontline, especially at the field hospital. There were many people with bleeding heads. She sighed. "What are the higher-ups doing? Let's put aside the fight between the higher-ups and focus on the frontline. I don't know much about philosophy. Leader Li, you've fought your way through the battlefield, and now you're at the frontline. The frontline is different. You should know what's more important. Don't disappoint your comrades who sacrificed themselves. "
Whether Yang Henan could make it through this was still unknown. As an old comrade who had fought together since the Eastern State Demon Hunters, she was worried.
She did not want to experience the feeling of losing a comrade again, but she would. Perhaps she would be the next one.
"I know, I know …" Li Zhenjing answered. He looked around. The members of the Special Ops were not far away. Some who did not have enough frontline experience were depressed. A few newbies who had just come out of the training camp were even more lost. Experiencing blood and tears at the frontline would change a lot.
He knew about the changes in the Special Ops. He had spoken to the new higher-ups, and the headquarters said that the frontline should focus on quelling the disaster.
Therefore, no matter what Ji Chengtao and Xiang Jiantian were planning, it was temporarily over with their deaths.
"Leader Lou, don't worry." Li Zhenjing said solemnly, "We have the same goal as you, and that is to break this ritual."
"That's all I need to hear." Lou Xiaoning did not waste her breath. If the other party had ulterior motives, there was no point in wasting her breath. "Our three Special Mobile Force units will select our best members to form a joint unit. We will head to Hongxing Plaza and finish this ritual in one go."
