City 0126, Crimson Moon City, Crimson Moon Building.
The Crimson Moon Group, which had a tradition of working from nine to five, had been issuing all kinds of work orders throughout the night for several weeks. From the assistant of the group's president to the security guards of the various branches, all of them looked solemn as they stuck to their posts, adding a solemn atmosphere to the entire city.
A young man wearing the uniform of the Crimson Moon Group's security team was patrolling everywhere with several subordinates. Like the soldiers of the Military Department, they were fully equipped and responsible for the internal security of the group's various companies and headquarters. Sometimes, they would also take care of the security issues of the various districts of the city like now.
"Captain No.1, did something happen … We've been on an emergency patrol for more than ten days. Is there not enough manpower in the military?" The small man behind him asked in a low voice. Everyone in the security team knew that the Military Department would only entrust the Crimson Moon Group's security team to assist in public security when the Military Department was seriously short of manpower.
Although they belonged to two different systems, everyone knew in their hearts that the Military Department and the Crimson Moon Group wore the same pants, and the people of the two sides usually helped each other.
The young man was called Small One, which was not his original name. More than a year ago, he followed his superior Wang Zhongyue to work in the Military Department. Later, he inexplicably got involved with the fugitive Li Xiang. Following Wang Zhongyue's departure to City 0001, he was repeatedly named by the Military Department and had to deal with trivial matters. Finally, when he was at his wit's end, he was recommended to work in the Crimson Moon Security Company.
It was not until now that Small One learned that the person who pulled him back from the brink of life and death was Captain Wang Zhongyue, who left without saying goodbye and was different from most of the vermin in the Military Department.
He was very grateful for this new job. For a basic soldier in the Military Department like him who had no hope of promotion, the treatment and benefits of the Crimson Moon Security Company were simply irresistible. After being promoted to captain, his income could even enter the local small noble circle.
Right, the fate of another young man who was walking towards him was also changed. At that time, Wang Zhongyue's other adjutant, Small Two.
In order to repay Wang Zhongyue's help, they simply changed their names and code names to the two titles she casually gave them.
Small Two waved to his brother.
Small One nodded slightly and said coldly to the subordinates behind him, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't think about what you shouldn't think."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The Scarlet Moon Group was the largest economic giant in City 0126. Under the management of the two beautiful presidents, Fire Phoenix and No.1, various businesses had already penetrated into all kinds of industries in the city. Many people were envious of being able to work in this group.
They wouldn't blabber too much, lest they lose their hard-earned jobs.
"It's time to change shifts. I have two friends here that I want to bring to meet the two CEOs." Little Fool looked at the two black-cloaked figures standing far behind him. They blended into the night, and it was impossible to detect them without looking carefully.
Xiao Yi nodded and did not say much. The auras of the two people were very thick. They were obviously cultivators.
After the handover, the waiter opened the door and gestured for them to enter. "Sirs, unrelated people are not allowed to enter the headquarters at will. Take the elevator to the top floor and you will be able to see the two CEOs."
"Yes." Mu regained her cold and aloof appearance. After studying the secret scripture, her thirst for blood had become more and more urgent. This was the first place Li Xiang instructed her to stop.
She and Nathro could get supplies here and also bring Li Xiang's orders.
The headquarters building was still brightly lit, and every floor was busy. Mu and Nathro went straight to the top floor. Fire Phoenix, No.1, and Hunting Sky had been waiting for a long time.
The two took off their hoods. The distinct appearances and figures of the Blood Race and the Werewolf Race revealed their identities.
"This is the master's order." Mu spoke to the three women in front of her expressionlessly. Her lips moved, and she spoke in a voice that only they could hear.
"Understood. Then prepare according to what he said." Hunting Sky's expression was a bit pale. The development of the situation was worse than she had expected.
Li Xiang's airship flew over City 0126 and City 0127. He wanted to come back to see them, but he unexpectedly sensed a disaster aura soaring into the sky.
Because of the mysterious dark red scale bar in his body, he was very sensitive to the aura of disaster and mutants. Therefore, he immediately sent two people to check the situation and help them investigate and prepare.
According to Li Xiang's senses, not only did Gui Wuqi, who had devoured a borderline mutant, but there might also be a large number of mutants flowing into the two cities.
The surrounding numbered cities had reached a point where everyone was in danger. All sorts of so-called insider information came in. Hearing that a mutant might have infiltrated the city, these humans, who had not come into contact with the Disaster Faction for a long time, were instantly terrified.
The military was under great pressure to search the entire city, but they found nothing.
Hou City was in the most serious situation.
.....
Hou City.
After Julie handed in her resignation letter, she immediately packed up everything and prepared to leave the small mansion she lived in.
She could only apologize to those cute students in her heart.
Bai Yuhan's message made Julie dare not hesitate. No matter if it was a mutant human or a real mutant, normal people could not stop them from killing. If she stayed, she might become cannon fodder.
It was raining heavily outside, accompanied by a thick fog. Coupled with the erosion of the night, visibility was extremely low.
Julie stuffed all the suitcases into the luxurious steam locomotive in the underground parking garage. When she walked towards the cab, she was surprised to find a bald man standing there.
He was wearing the military's light yellow uniform with the insignia of a second lieutenant. Next to him stood a bushy bearded man and a blonde girl smiling at her.
Julie knew the blonde girl. She had seen her before. Her name was Bai Shanshan, a member of the Bai family. She called her cousin.
"Miss Julie, Hou City has been sealed since this afternoon." The bald man smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm afraid you can't get out."
"I have a special pass." Julie took out a yellow paper from her bag, but the bearded man took it away.
Lélie tore it into pieces and said in a low voice, "Now it's gone. Come with us."
"You, you … I will report you to the military!" Julie was so angry that she laughed. Although she had guessed why they were looking for her, she was still angry. How could they tear the pass in front of others?
"That's a problem after all this is over." Lélie was not afraid at all. He walked to the steam locomotive and opened the door for her. "Let's go, Miss Julie. We need your help."
Julie sighed and followed them into the steam locomotive.
They came to a quiet district in the north of Hou City. At this time, the eighth building was sealed off by layers of military soldiers. The pungent smell of blood filled the air. Even the rain could not wash it away.
There were already soldiers waiting for them. When they saw them coming, they greeted them. "Captain Lélie, Second Lieutenant Wang, Captain Bai."
The incident happened on the twelfth floor. The entire floor was filled with the smell of blood. It was nauseating.
"The entire floor, four families, a total of 27 people, all dead."
There was still a bright red liquid flowing on the floor of the room. In order to ensure the integrity of the scene, no treatment had been done.
The floor was stained brown. Some of the blood had coagulated. There were six headless corpses in this commercial building. They were pierced through by steel pipes and fixed to the cement wall. Some had their limbs cut off, some had their stomachs cut open. They died in different ways.
Men, women, old, and young were not spared.
Parts of the corpses were mutilated. There were signs of chewing.
This was more like a large-scale evil crime scene. Julie frowned. She did not expect the intruders to be so cruel.
She found six heads in the bathroom. They were stacked together like dice. Their faces were full of fear and despair.
"Bastard …" Julie was trembling with anger. "Aren't mutants evil creatures without consciousness? Why do they have such a clear way of killing? "
"This is also what puzzles us. The previous murders were bloody and brutal, but there was no order. The scene was like a slaughterhouse." Lélie suppressed his anger and replied in a low voice. "But now, it's different. Their methods are getting weirder and weirder, but it seems like they are gradually gaining consciousness."
"That's impossible. Even if it's a real … disaster, many of them do not have human thoughts. Looking at this situation, it's obvious that they are creatures with a personality. This is a provocation and contempt for us. "Julie judged." What do you want me to do? "
"You are the only magic apprentice in the city that can search for clues. We hope that you can analyze the scene and search for traces of those bastards." Lei Lie said coldly. He hated this group of monsters that killed without batting an eyelid.
He had been a sergeant major and did not get promoted. It was because he had a special feeling for this city. He wanted to protect it forever.
Now that such monsters had appeared, he was the angriest.
"I shouldn't have revealed my magic when I was applying." Julie smiled bitterly. In order to get better treatment, and she felt that it was okay if this magic was known by others, she reported it. She did not expect to be targeted by Lélie because of this.
But after seeing this scene, she was also furious.
She wanted to see what kind of monster would do such a thing.
Julie closed her eyes and recited in a low voice, "[Universal — Reconstruction of Light and Shadow]."
She could only look back at what had happened in the last twenty-four hours. At the same time, there were many harsh conditions.
In front of her tightly closed eyes, countless images were replaying rapidly like a movie reel.
She could not control it. She could only try her best to see and sense it.
When the strange and terrifying footsteps sounded, Julie's body suddenly tensed up.
It's him!
A chill ran down her spine. Sweat slid down her back. She gritted her teeth and continued watching.
The tall man wrapped in a black cloak walked into the building step by step. Then, he pushed open the door of this room.
Boom!
Julie saw it suddenly take off its hood, revealing a head covered in veins and blood vessels. There were countless eyes on it. It was not the head of a normal person at all!
"Hey." It seemed to be able to see Julie. Under the densely packed eyes, a bloody mouth suddenly opened.
The scene stopped abruptly!
The countless scenes of slaughter disappeared like a film reel.
She did not see the murderer leave either.
"Are you okay?" Lélie strode forward and supported the tottering Julie.
However, Julie's face was filled with horror. She said in a trembling voice, "It … It's still here. It hasn't left!"
It was normal to lose the rewind scene, but there was always a beginning and an end. But this time, Julie did not see the end. She only saw its bloody mouth.
This meant that the other party had noticed this and interrupted her magic at a close distance.
This guy was hiding in this room.
This feeling of horror flowed out, making Julie's legs tremble. She wanted to leave the room immediately. Lélie was very calm. He supported her body and gave Bai Shanshan a look.
The two of them were old partners and naturally understood each other's intentions.
However, they were still one step too late.
Bang!
Bai Shanshan felt pain in her stomach. Her body flew out like a kite with a broken string and smashed into the cement wall behind her. The wall collapsed with a loud boom.
She was hit before she could pull out her gun.
The one who attacked her was the bald Second Lieutenant Wang who had come with them.
At this moment, he no longer looked like a human. He was like a squirming human-shaped lump of flesh draped in a military uniform. His only bald head was covered with densely packed eyes. His bloody mouth was letting out a sinister laugh.
The long tentacle from his mouth pierced through Bai Shanshan's abdomen and slammed her into the wall. It retracted with a hiss, bringing with it countless pieces of flesh and blood.
"Shanshan!" Lélie's eyes were about to burst. He pushed Julie away and pulled out his steam gun to shoot a few air pillars at the bald monster.
Puff, puff, puff —
The pillar of air hit its soft, fleshy body, but it was like nothing.
Bang!
Another tentacle shot out. This time, it was from an eyeball. It was so fast that even Julie, who was a magic apprentice, could not react in time. She could only subconsciously pick up Lélie and throw him to the side. The two of them crashed into a wooden table.
Even faster were the heads of the dumbfounded soldiers behind him.
"It hurts …" Bai Shanshan covered the wound on her abdomen. She hoped that her intestines were not pulled out. Otherwise, it would be difficult to clean up.
She stood up shakily and shouted into the smoke of the ruins, "Captain, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Retreat." Lélie was not stupid. After two exchanges, he realized the absolute difference in strength. But it was not without gain. After all, it was the first time he had met the enemy.
"Hooo hooo —" The bald meatball laughed maniacally and shot out a few more tentacles.
The response to its attack was a few air pillars. Bai Shanshan and Lélie used the steam engine to fly out from the twelfth floor and quickly escaped along the orbit in the sky.
Clang!
The window was crushed by the meatball. It also jumped out. Without a flying device, it fell at a terrifying speed and smashed into the pile of people below. The soldiers screamed and fled. Then, they were pierced by the giant tentacles and sent into the bloody mouth.
They did not have any room to fight back.
It was as if a horn had been blown, and a bloody massacre had officially begun.
On the road, a young girl who was walking among the crowd suddenly tore open her leather jacket, revealing the rotten flesh and exposed blood vessels inside. In a factory, a burly man who was moving goods screamed as his thigh exploded, turning into tendons that resembled plant roots …
On the roof of the military building.
Gui Wuqi let out a dry and hoarse laugh. "Li … Yes."
