Chapter 133
Groups of distorted creatures followed the command and moved towards Tang Zeyu and others, but because of their low intelligence, they could not tell who the enemy was except the people who gave the orders, so soon the distorted creatures attacked passers-by.
People who saw blood were more excited than the deformed creatures. The crowd was in complete chaos. Everyone was running and screaming to escape. The chaotic flow of people rushed together, and large groups of people were pushed down. A stampede had already occurred in the most crowded areas.
The distorted creatures only harmed a very small number of people, but the chaos they caused triggered a chain reaction, turning the entire street into a living hell.
Listening to the endless screams, the people on the roof were helpless. The deformed creatures pouring in from all directions had already made them overwhelmed.
Tang Zeyu needs to exercise extreme restraint when using his supernatural powers to prevent the flames from igniting the flying insects. If the flying insects carrying the fire source fly around and cause a fire, that would be a real disaster.
The opponent is no longer a bullet shot by humans, and Shi Yu is suddenly useless. He can only open the black hole and let the distorted creatures change direction, but it is only a temporary solution and can only delay for a while. In the end, he still has to rely on weapons to solve the problem.
Fortunately, these deformed creatures are relatively large in size, so even if Lu Shiyu’s accuracy is not very good, he can always hit a few of them.
"Why are there deformed creatures in the base?!"
Lina chopped off the head of a deformed creature that was about to bite a passerby. She felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth and was almost knocked down by the rushing person because of a moment of distraction.
"Evacuate the crowd first," Guan Wei said to several trusted aides from a high position. "Each of you go to an intersection and ensure that the crowds follow the correct direction. If anyone disobeys orders, you can use force."
The guard patted the gun at his waist, his meaning was clear.
After receiving the order, several people quickly ran along the beams towards the intersection. Lina, who was still finishing off the distorted creatures, looked up and asked, "Has the human base fallen? Why are there so many distorted creatures?"
Guan Wei held a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it. He said with a worried look on his face, "We'll explain this later. Didn't you go to the black market a few days ago? Did you buy any potions that enhance your superpowers?"
Lina was furious: "I've already left the mercenary team, how could I possibly buy something like that? And did you send someone to secretly monitor me?"
Guan Wei sighed and tucked the cigarette behind his ear: "It really is like when it rains it pours."
Then he put his hands together, and suddenly several thick vines emerged from the ground, lifting up the child who was about to suffocate in the crowd. Then he began to rescue in the dense crowd, pulling the terrified people out little by little.
Many of them climbed up Guan Wei's vines to protect themselves. The vines, which were overloaded with weight, began to bend under the strain and were about to fall. Guan Wei gritted his teeth and let more vines emerge from the ground and entwine around each other, finally stabilizing the vines.
Yan Hong threw the dagger and hit a flying jacket. Then he began to pull the chain, shaking the beetles like meteor hammers, and knocked down a large number of them, making the surrounding flying insects dare not approach.
Chen Yunliang and Shao Xingyang dealt with the deformed creatures crawling around them. Shao Xingyang's two long swords were about to spark. Not to mention the sense of pain, he even lost his intuition and was completely relying on instinct to hold the handle of the sword tightly.
Chen Yunliang felt back and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! I'm out of arrows."
Upon hearing this, Shaoxing Yang raised his hand and conjured up a water ball. The water ball was stretched and then frozen, forming a long and thin ice arrow.
"Use this! As much as you want!"
Yan Hong threw the distorted creature away and pulled back the dagger with force. Looking at the still dense distorted creatures and the panicked crowd below, he felt that this was not a solution.
"Wuwuwuwu...Mom..."
Yan Hong looked to the side and saw a deformed creature actually grabbed a child of only three or four years old and flew up, and had already flown over the eaves.
"You guys hold on first! I'll go save people!"
After Yan Hong shouted, she ran towards the deformed creature, but the deformed creature flew higher and higher, and by the time she got close, it had already flown high.
It happened that a distorted creature was not far away from her. Yan Hong jumped directly onto the distorted creature, wrapped an iron chain around its neck, and drove it in the direction she wanted like riding a horse. After chasing it for a distance, she finally got closer.
Seeing that the deformed creature in front had discovered her and was about to speed up, Yan Hong immediately threw out the dagger and stabbed it firmly into the shell of the deformed creature, but it also subconsciously loosened its claws that were holding the child because of the pain.
The child fell from a high altitude in an instant. Yan Hong jumped down with him without thinking. Fortunately, she successfully caught the child. Then the length of the chain reached its limit. The deformed creature that was stabbed hung Yan Hong in the air and tried hard to fly away. As a result, it was used as a parachute by Yan Hong and slowly descended.
Only then did Yan Hong realize that she was so far away from the center of the battle. When she looked down, she saw the destroyed building.
Yan Hong, who was in mid-air, held the child in one hand and coaxed him. After thinking for a while, she remembered that this building was originally built to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the human base. At that time, she thought it was a face-saving project that was a waste of time and money. Now, it seems that the evil idea was probably started when the Dawn Base first came into contact with the deformed creatures outside.
The closer to the ground, the more clearly Yan Hong could see what was below. Inside the lacquered building was a secret laboratory with multiple layers of isolation. It seemed like a completely different world inside, so out of harmony with the streets next to it that it seemed like it was photoshopped in.
At the same time, Yan Hong also discovered two acquaintances.
"Chen Yunshang, how come you're even crazier than my brother? I'm done for! My brother is really going to hang me up and beat me!"
"Stop making so much noise! Can you please stop calling me your brother? I'm still your sister." Chen Yunshang pushed away the deformed creature that was pressing on her legs, stood up, and said, "Besides, if I hadn't been so quick-witted just now, would you still be alive complaining about this and that?"
"That's right..." Chen Yunyu squatted on the ground and poked his finger when he suddenly saw a shadow expanding rapidly on the ground. He asked in confusion, "What is this?"
The two of them looked up at the same time and saw a person who came from nowhere, holding a child in one hand and pulling an iron chain with the other. Above the iron chain was a deformed creature that was flapping its wings with all its might. It suddenly appeared in such a strange shape and landed in front of them.
Chen Yunshang asked in a daze: "Chen Yunyu, were we killed in the explosion just now?"
Otherwise, how could I see such a strange scene?
Chen Yunyu was only stunned for two seconds, and then immediately recognized that this was Chen Yunliang's teammate.
"Did my brother ask you to come find us?"
"no."
After landing, Yan Hong pulled the chain hard, and the deformed creature was smashed to the ground, startling the two of them. Then Yan Hong stepped on the deformed creature and pulled out the knife, explaining: "I came here just by accident, and now I have to go back."
Yan Hong looked around. The ground was littered with the corpses of deformed creatures that had been killed in the explosion, as well as many broken glass jars with nutrient solution spilled all over the floor.
"You guys blew this place up?"
Chen Yunshang: "We are just taking emergency measures to avoid danger."
Chen Yunyu: "It's her fault. It's none of my business."
Then Chen Yunyu was slapped by Chen Yunshang.
Yan Hong sighed in her heart for two seconds at the destructive power of Chen Yunliang's two naughty children, and then handed the children to them.
"Take care of this child first, I have something urgent to do."
Chen Yunyu glanced at the child and asked, "Whose is this?"
"I don't know, I picked it up on the road."
Although Yan Hong felt that it was not reliable to leave the child to these two people, it was still much better than just abandoning the child on the roadside. She didn't have time to care about it now, as the team still needed her to go back and help.
Just as the two were about to say something, Yan Hong left in a hurry. Chen Yunshang squatted down and looked at the child who had just cried. His eyes were swollen from crying and squeezed into slits. Chen Yunshang turned around and asked Chen Yunyu: "Do you think he looks like your brother?"
Chen Yunyu instantly exploded: "I am the only younger brother of my brother!"
Chen Yunshang: “…”
I envy Chen Yunliang because there is only a fool in his family competing with him for the family property.
The other side
The few people who lost Yan Hong's help found it more difficult to fight, and several times there were even deformed creatures that successfully broke through the defense line and injured them.
"No, if we keep wasting time, we have no chance of winning."
Lu Shiyu wiped the blood off his face and when he looked up and saw the clock tower, he suddenly thought of a move.
"Got it! I know what to do!"
Tang Zeyu turned around and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Lu Shiyu briefly explained the plan to Tang Zeyu, and after listening to it, Tang Zeyu thought it was worth a try.
"You two hold on, we're going up there."
"What?!"
Shao Xingyang collapsed and shouted, "Why are you leaving too? It's just the two of us!"
But now he didn't even have time to complain, as he was soon besieged by a new wave of deformed creatures and was drowned in the pile of monsters.
Tang Zeyu led Lu Shiyu to climb to the top of the bell tower, while they had to avoid attacks from deformed creatures.
This clock tower is the most conspicuous and prominent building nearby. It is located in the center of the Dawn Base. No matter where you are, you can see it as long as you look up. Therefore, it is called the sundial of the Dawn Base. It symbolizes every day and every year spent by the Dawn Base in the sunset of the sun. It is also one of the tallest buildings in the Dawn Base, silently looking down at the busy humans all day like a giant. It left a deep impression on Yu when she passed by it on the cable car on the way.
As Tang Zeyu climbed higher and higher, they were getting further and further away from the chaos below. Listening to the gradually fading noise, Lu Shiyu couldn't help but look down.
The situation below was already in chaos. The deformed creatures that suddenly appeared in the human living area were running rampant. Even though people kept trying to drive them away and attack them, they seemed extremely powerless to resist.
This scene seemed to awaken some memory of Lu Shiyu, a distant memory that he could not tell whether it was reality or a dream. He remembered that it seemed to be like this when the distortion disaster just happened.
The peaceful life was broken by monsters that appeared out of nowhere. The unarmed people could only flee in panic, hiding in cars or buildings for shelter, and watching the deformed creatures dismembering and eating people on the streets, as if it had happened not long ago and was happening again.
Finally, Tang Zeyu climbed to the top of the bell tower and put Lu Shiyu down safely.
Lu Shiyu opened his hand, caught the large thermos cup that fell from it, unscrewed it bit by bit, and poured out the powdered meteorite sample without reservation towards the street below that had turned into purgatory.
