Chapter 1134 Communication Restoration
when--
A deafening roar, like the tolling of a muffled bell, echoed through the air as a massive circular magic circle, brimming with runes, soared into the sky, crossed the transparent barrier, and struck the large black mass above the city.
At the same time, Qi Yingxuan, who was at the top of the weather tower and had his eyes closed to sense the wind direction of the magic array, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly formed three magic seals with his hands.
The three seals transformed into three circular arrays surrounding the center, and then each emitted a blinding beam of light, shooting into the distant sky.
The three beams of light merged into one in mid-air, looking from below like three fish with tails splashing and converging together, before joining the magic array sent out by Ye Wanxi at an even faster speed.
With the addition of these beams of light, it immediately doubled in size and became even more dazzling.
However, dispelling the dark cloud hanging over the city was not so easy.
Seeing that the magic array's ascent was blocked, Feng Tianyu knocked away Wu Yequan's soft iron whip with a stick and forcefully threw the spear in his hand upwards.
The sharp spear, carried by the whistling evening wind, flew rapidly upwards, accurately hitting the center of the magic circle. Then, using the power transmitted from the magic circle, it spun upwards and pierced through the large black mass at the top of the magic circle.
The huge black mass deflated visibly, like a balloon punctured by a needle.
Xiao Jihui and the others, who were anxiously waiting outside the barrier, felt a huge gust of air rushing towards them. The few people standing inside the guard circle were okay, because there were people in front of them to block them. They staggered a bit, but helped each other to stand up.
Some people who were standing outside the encirclement and were not prepared at all were not so lucky. They were knocked to the ground by the gust of air and didn't react for a long time.
Xiao Jihui and the others belonged to the former group. Sensing something was wrong, Xiao Jihui immediately grabbed his father's hand and pulled him back.
Having finally regained his footing, he breathed a sigh of relief, still somewhat shaken. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a gasp from the person next to him.
"Senior, Deputy Commander, Captain, communications in Z City have been restored!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, the group forgot about whether they had hurt themselves from the fall and swarmed around the scene.
Upon seeing this, many people's faces lit up with joy.
The communications in Z City, which had been completely cut off, were restored as a result of this turmoil.
Although the signal was a bit weak, at least we were able to connect.
Xiao Baihui didn't delay. He immediately contacted influential people in Z City to find out the situation inside.
The reconnaissance planes that had been waiting outside took off immediately, helping people outside to see more clearly what was happening inside.
With the restoration of communications, power was restored to some areas of the city that had lost power. A large area that was previously pitch black and indiscernible was now finally revealed under the suffocating night.
Upon seeing this, many people couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"What...is that?"
This is not only what Xiao Baihui and others want to ask, but also what many netizens who have been waiting online for a long time and finally obtained first-hand information from the front lines want to ask.
Under the bright lights, one after another, black monsters with rough skin and long, sharp teeth climbed like spiders on utility poles, walls, and even balconies in residential areas, pulling at power lines and security bars with their equally sharp fingers.
It's not hard to tell what they want to do from their actions.
This is why many people can't help but feel a chill.
[I'm going crazy, what is this thing? It's so ugly and scary, I feel like I'm going to have nightmares tonight.]
Seeing the good news that communications had been restored in Z City, I thought the big shots on the front lines had done a great job and everything was settled. I excitedly clicked in, and then... I was gone! Is this ugly thing even real? I almost thought I'd been transported into a foreign sci-fi disaster movie. The immersion is too strong; the thought of this thing possibly climbing through my window in the middle of the night makes me too scared to sleep!
[Damn, these monsters are not only ugly, but they're also incredibly destructive! I saw one tear down the security bars in no time! Oh my god, it's going in! Is anyone inside? Is anyone going to rescue them?!]
[...]
After waiting all night, I finally received some good news, but before I could even feel happy, I was replaced by worry.
At that moment, everyone held their breath, genuinely worried about the survivors in the city.
Xiao Baihui and the others were not idle either. They immediately gathered the people who had been waiting outside to carry out the rescue.
Of course, before that, they also made sure to contact their colleagues who had already gone inside but had lost contact with them.
Fortunately, most of these people are still alive and are on the front lines of the rescue effort.
Unfortunately, although Ye Wanxi and the others restored communication and circuits in Z City with their attack, the people inside still could not get out.
But now that ordinary people in the city are facing the danger of being attacked by monsters, Xiao Baihui and the others can no longer care about anything else and finally agree to let more people who can help in.
After Yuan Suxia and her two children hid in the bedroom, she blocked the door with cabinets, dressing table, and other items, trying to wear down the monster's patience and hopefully make it change its mind and let go of its new prey before it broke in.
However, Yuan Suxia was also well aware that this was nothing more than her own delusion.
The commotion outside the door continued unabated, and she held the two children tightly in her arms with their mouths covered.
The only flashlight left in the house was lying in Yuan Suxia's shirt pocket.
Fearing that she would attract the monster's attention, she dared not even show any light.
The family of three huddled in the darkness behind the curtains, shivering. After what seemed like an eternity, the sounds outside gradually subsided.
Yuan Suxia's heart gradually settled down. The two children in her arms seemed to sense their mother's emotions, stirred, and called out affectionately and tentatively, "Mommy..."
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Before they could utter the last word, a loud bang rang in their ears.
The monster that had been smashing and destroying things outside the door had somehow appeared behind the window beside them, clutching the security bars that had just been torn off.
Through the glass of the window, Yuan Suxia met its face once again. Its upturned lips seemed to say: I've got you.
"Ah..." Yuan Suxia screamed and rushed forward with her two children, who were crying in fear again, at the fastest speed she had ever been.
But it was too late; the monster had already broken through the window and entered their house.
The things that had blocked the doorway earlier now became obstacles to their escape. In the chaos, Yuan Suxia only had time to shield her two children with her body, awaiting her death.
