"Dispel my doubts?" Bai Xinyan's attitude was very cautious.
"There's no need to rush. Speaking of which, I didn't pay much attention to the Plateau Wilderness. But after listening to Miss Bai's analysis, I feel that there really is something going on. Miss Bai, you have the pearl of wisdom in your hands. I want to verify it. Shall we go together? "
As an Extraordinary, the King of Black Africa, and one of the most powerful Magistrates in the world, Black Lion had an absolute psychological advantage when facing Bai Xinyan. This was not something that could be changed by his amiable attitude. Even though his tone was one of discussion, Bai Xinyan could not refuse.
While they were talking...
A halo of light spread out beside the two of them. The colorful light struck the surrounding chaotic mist. At first, it was hazy and mottled, but the projection quickly adapted and formed a relatively clear image.
The scenery on the screen was clearly that of the Plateau Wilderness, Saltwater Lakeside, and the chaotic one-way group. Bai Xinyan was even able to see Dr. Clay, who was in a relatively more forward position. Bai Xinyan was able to see Dr. Clay.
Of course, if one were to use the saltwater lake as a reference, the one at the front was Kawahara Machiko, who was knee-deep in the lake water and mud. And right in front of her was a monster with a malevolent horn. It was half in the water, and it was quickly approaching.
Clearly, this was the source of the crowd's panic.
The monster had thick armor and sharp teeth. It was a bit like a crocodile. There were blade-like bone spurs on its forehead. They were like hard fins that cut through the water. They split the water surface and quickly closed in.
The projected image was a bit shaky, but it was not just because the photographer was panicking. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there were clear traces of technology splicing on the image. It was probably a combination of the people recording the scene and some low-altitude satellite images to form the effect of a live broadcast.
And judging from the time of Bai Xinyan's call, there might be some delay.
Even though the conditions were shabby, the only people who could watch such a real-time "live stream" at this stage were the "archons" who had extremely high authority like Black Lion.
"Perfect timing." Black Lion rubbed his stomach and turned to look at Bai Xinyan. "You said this woman would be fine."
Before Bai Xinyan could open her mouth, a figure stood out from the group of "one-way tour groups" that were retreating in panic. It was Dr. Cly, who was moving in the opposite direction. With extraordinary courage, the man of action took another two steps forward. Then, he took advantage of his expertise and shouted, "You're a professional!
"It's the Highland Water Arrow Dragon. The water arrows shot out by its hollow bone spurs are poisonous!"
Whether or not it would work was another matter. Attitude was very important.
The Black Lion chuckled. Just as he was laughing, the Water Arrow Dragon in the projection had already assumed an attacking stance. In the next second, it sprayed … but what it sprayed was not the so-called "poisonous water arrow", but a flash!
The flash of light exploded in the middle of the hollow bone spur that should have shot out the "Poison Water Arrow", forming a dense electric magnetic fire that instantly proliferated and spread.
The Water Arrow Dragon did not have any vocal organs. When it suddenly opened its huge mouth, three to four rows of densely packed teeth could be seen. They were also shrouded in electric light and magnetic fire. It made one wonder if the inside of its body was also filled with the same power.
This was not what Dr. Cly had warned about, and it would not be the same.
Only now did most of the people suddenly realize that this scene, or more accurately, why did the flashing electric flames look so familiar?
Only aptitude users like Black Lion and Bai Xinyan could see the sequence of events clearly from the projected image. The flash of light did not come from the Water Arrow Dragon at all. It was a reverse impact.
The flash of light passed by Dr. Cly and brushed past the shoulder of Machiko Kawahara, who had already fallen to the shore. It hit the bone spur fin on the forehead of the Water Arrow Dragon. It originated from the wreckage of the magnetic light portal on the shore that no one dared to set foot on. Only God knew what the mechanism was, but it really seemed like there was a magnetic induction that attracted the electric magnetic fire and accurately hit the target.
The Water Arrow Dragon's thick and long tail swung up, exploding water and mud all over the sky. Then, the cycle repeated itself. This was not hunting, but it was struggling.
The flashing electric magnetic fire wrapped around this aberrant species. It was dazzling, almost making people think that another portal had opened. It was not. It was just that in its suppressed and intense struggle, its originally fierce and tyrannical body began to distort and deform. The degree of distortion became greater and greater.
In the end, the scales disintegrated and tore apart, exposing the bright red flesh. It also sizzled under the electric fire and magnetic light, twitching and deforming violently. Sometimes, there was even a sudden huge stretch, as if all the flesh and blood under the broken scales were forcibly extracted. "Is there something inside?" The Black Lion subconsciously ground his black gold teeth. He was quite engrossed in watching.
Bai Xinyan narrowed her eyes slightly, but this was to adjust her eyelids that were twitching due to the fluctuations in her heart. She did not respond, because she did not know how to answer. But she did see that as time passed, the flesh that had been forcibly twitched and twisted did indeed faintly "pinch" into a vague outline …
"What does it look like?" The Black Lion asked again.
Bai Xinyan still did not speak, but her mind was basically clear:
It was somewhat like a fetus in a mother's womb … … Or to be more direct, it was like a curled up humanoid creation. Following this outline, it seemed that the lines and boundaries of the limbs and torso could be seen. She could even see the corresponding stretching and struggling movements.
Before the conclusion could be reached here, there was another bang in the sky. This time, the spliced view of the live broadcast was unable to keep up in time. It took a second or two for it to react. But thanks to the spliced view, the fake live broadcast used several times the speed to act as a connecting segment. It basically restored the situation at the time.
In the sky, the aberrant bird that Dr. Clay had mentioned was twice the size of an ordinary eagle. It had been circling and approaching without end … … Then it suddenly exploded, turning into a splatter of blood and gore. No one was able to clearly see what species it was.
In the blink of an eye, the blood and gore were restrained and kneaded by an incorporeal power. It was as if some figure was about to emerge from within. It was practically the same situation as the Water Arrow Dragon on the surface of the lake.
"This … … What is this?"
"This is a good thing, a good thing. That Luo Nan … … Mr. Luo Nan doesn't wish for anything to happen. Uh, something big to happen. "
These words weren't wrong. After all, the two Mutants that posed the greatest threat to humanity had suddenly been obliterated. Even though the process was a bit bloody, the result was good. It wouldn't be too much to expand on this a bit, right?
Many people on the one-way group revealed expressions of joy. They communicated with each other in whispers, and they used the satellite signal of the Wasteland to call for external help. They were much more confident now.
The professional security personnel at the scene finally took advantage of this time to catch their breaths. They began to play their role. They held a meeting and began to discuss how to get the big shots, rich people, and experts to gather and arrange their positions. This was to facilitate the follow-up security work.
During this time, Dr. Clay even made a special trip to the lakeside. He helped Kawahara Machiko up and brought her back. This lady was covered in mud and was in a sorry state, but she received a lot less cold glances.
Everything was progressing in a good direction. This sort of mood reached its peak when a high-speed drone appeared in the sky.
Very soon, a well-connected big shot announced that this was a mobile troop from Yan City in the wilderness. They had been ordered to send reinforcements here. Looking at the wings, it was obviously a model of armed forces. This meant that the conventional forces of the civilized world had formed a solid support force.
Cheers rang out.
The drone hovered in the sky and gradually approached. Many people on the ground also waved in the direction of the drone. No matter what the process was, they finally saw hope …
"Bang!"
A low-frequency sharp sound suddenly rang out. The drone high in the sky suddenly shook, and without any follow-up reaction, it directly exploded into a ball of fire.
A rain of fire fell from the sky, causing everyone to scream and cover their heads to avoid the danger. Fortunately, the impact of the explosion pushed most of the debris away. It streaked over people's heads and smashed into the edge of the area. The largest piece happened to hit the lakeside area, causing the surface of the lake to burn.
"Oh!" Black Lion sighed, as if he was watching an exciting drama.
However, in the highland wilderness tens of thousands of kilometers away, the members of the one-way group really broke down.
Someone shouted again, "Over there, over there!"
The so-called "over there" was the lakeside. Electric light and magnetic fire lingered there, and now they were wrapped in the fireball. It was like a furnace, causing the mass of twisted flesh and blood to continue melting and coalescing. So much so that the human silhouette inside became clearer and clearer. Black Lion and Bai Xinyan were not the only spectators watching from afar. More and more people in the panicked scene noticed this.
"Tsk tsk, it really looks like the work of Brother Luo Nan," Black Lion commented. Such a scene was really like a painter or sculptor hiding in the invisible, using flesh and blood as the material to continuously paint.
"Is this the 'divine grace' you were talking about? Then what was drawn was the angel under his seat … "Black Lion guessed with great interest, but as he spoke, the smile on his fat face faded.
Bai Xinyan turned her head to glance at him, then quickly withdrew her gaze. She still did not speak.
In the blink of an eye, another light explosion occurred on the lake. Some of the excess flesh and blood were expelled, erupting into a thin layer of bloody mist. The so-called 'angel' walked out of the bloody mist. His body was naked, and his face was clear and emotionless.
"......"
The answer was clearly placed in front of him, but Black Lion still remained silent. During this time, the Water Arrow Dragon's scaly outer shell was disassembled and smelted in the magnetic fire, forming a rough 'armor' similar to the exoskeleton armor's silhouette. It was used as clothing, wrapped around the 'angel's' body, making it seem more like a living person.
"Jin Tong."
Black Lion squeezed this name out from the cracks between his teeth. It must be said that this was not the first time this dead Extraordinary had appeared, but to be able to appear in such a manner still made one's heart feel mixed emotions.
After Jin Tong took form and appeared, he did not make any other movements. He just raised his head towards the sky.
Many people's gazes followed him upwards. In the sky, the magnetic fire within the smoke flickered and extinguished, and another figure appeared. This figure was a bit more illusory than Jin Tong. It was faintly discernible, but its face was still clear.
Gong Qi.
Gong Qi also looked down. These two former Extraordinaries, one high and one low, stared at each other across the air. During this time, the flesh and blood of the surrounding wild donkey corpses were like the two Mutants that had collapsed. They began to squirm and twist, and under the catalysis of the electromagnetism fire, they formed indistinct lines of blood. The lines of blood gathered together and were cast towards Jin Tong and Gong Qi.
The others looked at each other in dismay when they saw this scene.
Some people came to a sudden realization, stomped their feet and cursed, "It's Luo Nan's …"
Before they could finish speaking, the person next to them forcefully covered their mouth.
The range of the electromagnetism fire was clearly increasing. It appeared and disappeared in the air. It wasn't very frequent, but due to its powerful decomposition and catalysis function, it gave people the feeling that it had formed an inescapable net. It had trapped these hundred or so unlucky bastards who had nothing but wealth and technology.
It was hard to say when a misfire would occur.
No drones or other man-made objects would appear in the following period of time. Even if there were, they would probably stay far away from this area.
What happened before was absolutely not an accident. It wasn't that no wild beasts and Mutants had tried to enter this area, but they were struck by the electromagnetism fire before they could approach. They were torn apart, warped, and remolded.
All living creatures turned into clay and clay. They became materials for the two Extraordinaries … or perhaps the Extraordinary Figurines. These two bizarre existences grew more and more alive. It also caused the people in this area, who were temporarily the exception, to grow more and more pale.
No matter what the reason was, no matter what the design was, the people present and those who weren't present found it hard to forget the leaping electromagnetism fire before their eyes. Some people couldn't forget the images that were pieced together within the electromagnetism fire. Some people couldn't forget the fate of having their souls captured and made into figurines. Even in death, they couldn't free themselves.
There were also some people who grew more and more clear about the current situation.
From beginning to end, nothing else had ever dominated their fates. There was only Luo Nan's will. Let them live. Let them die. Let them live …. Even death might not be the end of all troubles!
Time slowly passed. The people were unable to make any effective movements within this tangible and intangible net. During this period of time, some people were on the verge of collapsing completely, but there were also people whose minds grew clearer and clearer.
For example, Machiko Kawahara.
Machiko Kawahara had survived the edge of death, but she was no longer able to reflect her image. She had lived in the state of clay for a period of time, but now she let out a long breath. She took off her suit and used the lining of her expensive, custom-made coat. She did her best to wipe the dirt off her hands and face. She tied up her hair a bit, recovering the image of a strong woman with difficulty. Then she turned her head to look at Dr. Clay, who had just pulled her up.
As for Dr. Clay, this man of action, he also turned his gaze. Truth be told, he felt that this scene was preposterous. But he thought back to Bai Xinyan's words. Of course, the most important thing was Luo Nan's actions after entering the scene. Suddenly, his thoughts became clear.
Machiko Kawahara's gaze gave him one final stirring.
The two formed an effective tacit understanding at this moment.
Machiko Kawahara pursed her lips into a smile. "Doctor, are you interested in this?"
These words broke through all of Dr. Clay's apprehensions. He grinned, suddenly raised his hand high, and shouted loudly.
"Ten million. Ten million credits."
