Five days later, heavy rain once again enveloped Paris. The entrance of the catacombs in the 14th arrondissement of Paris was even more gloomy and gloomy under the falling raindrops, and the atmosphere was solemn …
After the transformation of the cemetery, the entrance to the catacombs and the roads within a kilometer had been sealed off.
There were very few people near the cemetery to begin with. In addition, the news that the catacombs were about to transform and that millions of skeleton warriors would be summoned by the Demon Eye was spreading everywhere in Paris. Not to mention within a kilometer of the cemetery, there were not many people within two kilometers, and those who came were all trembling in fear.
At the intersection of this area, armed personnel from the Popular Front, the Citizen Alliance, and the Paris guards had already built fortifications with barbed wire, triangular steel frames, and sandbags on the street, looking as though they were facing a formidable enemy. These few days, this place had been under tremendous pressure and attention, and no one dared to let their guard down. The armed personnel stationed here had to be on duty twenty-four hours a day, and they could only rest in shifts and pay close attention to every move in the catacombs.
Behind the fortifications, the black muzzles and firepower of various weapons were pointed at the streets and roads at the entrance of the catacombs. Self-propelled artillery and tanks were also being driven over.
…
"Lads, cheer up. Our families are behind us. The people of Paris are watching us. Watch the sentry towers …" Behind a road guarded by the armed Paris guards, a tall, white-bearded soldier wearing a raincoat and a helmet was patrolling the defensive facilities on the street in the rain, loudly encouraging the armed personnel stationed here. "Babu, don't let the ammunition box soak in the water …"
"Sir, I heard that a team of summoners has already gone in. Will the corpse transformation happen again?" a young man in the machine gun formation asked softly.
"I don't know either. The horror of the catacombs may be beyond your imagination!" The officer stopped behind the barbed wire, picked up his binoculars, and looked at the catacombs in the distance.
"Sir, I heard that you once led a team into the catacombs to hunt down demon rats. What's it like inside the catacombs?" someone asked curiously.
"The two-kilometer Bone Sacrifice Hall that you see is clean and tidy, making you think that the other places in the catacombs are the same. In fact, the Bone Sacrifice Hall is the only part of the catacombs that the living can go in and take a look. The other places in the catacombs are like hell, a hell filled with millions of skeletons that no one has cleaned up for hundreds of years …"
The officer had a lingering fear on his face. "Believe me, the demon rats don't want to stay in that place for a second longer. They will have nightmares, and after walking in there for a long time, you'll think you're a skeleton. You'll think that you're walking in hell. The strongest and bravest soldiers who carried out the mission with us. After they came out, many of them had to undergo psychological treatment for half a year, and then gradually returned.............. and....................................
When the surrounding people heard this, a trace of fear appeared on their faces.
"Sir, there seems to be a situation at the exit of the catacombs. I seem to see a flame flying out of the catacombs …" The watchman's shout suddenly drifted from the sentry tower.
The shout passed through the curtain of rain and made all the people behind the defense line quiver.
The officer who had just spoken immediately ran to the sentry tower and aimed at the defense line at the exit of the catacombs with a telescope.
The heavy curtain of rain blocked the view of the telescope, making everything blurred.
The officer widely opened his eyes and observed carefully.
Suddenly …
The officer also saw numerous broken bones spraying out of the entrance of the catacombs in a flame …
'Someone is fighting in the catacombs. That flame should be a summoner …'
The officer quivered as he immediately shouted, "Prepare for battle …"
The order to prepare for battle immediately alarmed the surrounding people. In the heavy rain, all the guards rushed to the back of the defensive line. They held their weapons and looked into the distance nervously. Many people were praying in their hearts that they wouldn't see skeletons walking out of the rain. That would be too terrifying …
The officer continued to observe the entrance of the catacombs in the distance with a telescope. Suddenly, his heart trembled as he saw human-shaped skeletons rushing out of the catacombs. Then, summoned creatures chased out and intercepted those human-shaped skeletons near the entrance of the catacombs. A fierce battle seemed to be going on in the catacombs.
A moment later, the water within a hundred meters of the catacombs suddenly condensed into ice. The raindrops turned into hailstones and fell from the sky. The skeletons near the entrance of the catacombs all turned into ashes. Then, the whole ground began to tremble slightly. A few seconds later, an earth-shattering boom sounded. Flames soared into the sky. The violent explosion happened right at the entrance. Almost half of the city of Paris heard that violent explosion.
The armed personnel stationed in the 14th arrondissement were all alarmed.
The huge explosion and roar made the puddles on the ground tremble. As for the location of the explosion, near the entrance of the catacombs, it was beyond recognition. Skeletons, hailstones, flames, splashing stones and mud fragments, and gushing flames were thrown out from the entrance of the catacombs. The skeletons fell as far as five or six hundred meters away, falling like rain …
The armed personnel stationed near the cemetery were all shocked by the changes near the entrance of the catacombs. Some of the changes just now were also noticed by others.
It seemed … that someone was fighting in the catacombs …
…
Almost at the same time, in the intelligence center of the Committee of Order's stronghold, the alarm of the intelligence center suddenly sounded.
Huaxia's Weasel 5 and Weasel 6 radiation detection satellites had captured a strong radiation signal near the entrance of the catacombs in the 14th arrondissement. Just now, the radiation signal flashed and disappeared, but it was enough for the satellites.
Someone brought the nuclear material out of the catacombs …
Minister Yan's face was ashen as he stared at the electronic screen that had turned red and ordered, "Everyone, move out immediately …"
The Summoners in the Committee of Order's stronghold poured out in full force. In the heavy rain, roaring military SUVs rushed out of the stronghold and sped on the streets, rushing toward the cemetery of the 14th arrondissement.
…
After the violent explosion and the commotion subsided, everything quieted down after more than ten minutes. The armed forces stationed near the cemetery of the 14th arrondissement each sent a reconnaissance team to investigate in the rain and see what had happened.
When the reconnaissance teams arrived near the entrance of the catacombs, they found that the entrance of the catacombs had been blown open by the explosion, and the whole ground had turned into a huge pit. Broken bones were everywhere on the ground, and some things seemed to be human flesh and body fragments. The remnants of mage robes could be seen on those fragments …
It seemed that a Summoner had been fighting here.
The scene was so tragic that it made people's hearts tremble.
The huge opening of the pitch-black catacombs was right in front of everyone's eyes. Inside the catacombs, there were messy white bones everywhere, like a passage to the abyss. The few teams didn't have the courage to enter.
At this moment, a figure walked out of the catacombs' passage.
At the sight of the figure coming out of the underground tomb, an armed member of the People's Front became nervous as he started to fire at the figure with his assault rifle …
As soon as he opened fire, the members of the other teams also opened fire at the black figure coming out of the catacombs.
The bullets they shot seemed to be useless against the black figure. The hearts of the team members trembled and they almost wanted to run away.
The black figure looked a little tired. Finally, he walked out of the catacombs. It was Xia Pingan.
At this moment, Xia Pingan's face was a little pale, his body was tired, and his clothes were tattered, as if he had gone through a great battle.
A water shield protected Xia Pingan's body. In front of the water shield were orange-yellow bullets floating in the water. The bullets from the assault rifle were like tickles to the water shield.
