Chapter 87 Disembarkation
This terrorist attack ended with Selina's knife.
Of course, the military would not tell them the inside story, but only vaguely explained that the body of the mutant named Meredith was very important for the research on mutants.
This attack was just an excuse for the U Society, their goal was to take back Meredith's body.
Fortunately, not many people were injured in the incident.
However, just as the cruise ship was about to arrive in Kotka, Meredith, who was under heavy detention and in a coma, suddenly disappeared.
Upon learning of this, the officer in charge of the operation turned pale, and Colonel Charlemagne was under tremendous pressure and planned to conduct another full ship search.
However, the military officer shook his head and said, "No need. His presence has completely disappeared. He has already escaped."
He himself is a person with special abilities. This time, his plan, in addition to escorting Meredith's body, is to attract his spirit back and capture him in one fell swoop.
The plan went smoothly, except that Meredith ran away.
It was all in vain.
When Selena learned about this from Li Xiannian, the military personnel had already disembarked early.
When she learned that Meredith had run away, she was stunned for a moment, remembering the way the man looked at her, casual and calm, as if everything was under his control.
Even when a knife pierced his heart, he did not resist at all. It turned out that this was the reason. He had been fully prepared and did not make any move.
What kind of monster is this? It's really terrifying.
Originally, Selena was a little nervous. The fact that he was able to escape meant that either he had accomplices nearby, or it was his own action.
Whether it is the first or the second possibility, the consequences are extremely terrible.
The soldiers discovered him after he had disappeared for a while without alarming anyone, which means he might have used some kind of supernatural power.
If there are accomplices nearby, it means they are well prepared and may be people with special abilities.
If Meredith was faking a coma and was able to slip away from the military's nose, it means he has a second superpower.
After hearing Selena's guess, Michael became very alert and kept a close eye on every corner of the ship, fearing that he would pop up from somewhere.
Nothing happened while the cruise ship was docked at the port.
By the time they set foot on the port's land, Meredith still hadn't shown up, and it seemed like she had really escaped.
This is the largest port in Kotka.
When the zombie virus broke out in Kotka, the port here had completely fallen.
However, as the largest port open to the outside world, the military still cleaned it up. Except for some dangerous areas, there was no trace of any infected people.
The sky was still gray, with thick black clouds hanging overhead.
The flocks of white seagulls that used to circle overhead have disappeared. There is only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the beach, creating handfuls of black foam.
The sea was also turbid, with the corpses of some fish floating on it, and there was some pungent smell, which looked extremely ominous.
When they saw this scene, everyone was silent.
Everyone has questions in their mind:
Is this doomsday a revenge for humanity's destruction of nature? This is why disasters have occurred one after another, destroying cities built by humans and undermining humanity's hopes for the future.
Or perhaps it is recorded in mythology that God was dissatisfied with mankind's current wisdom and destroyed the Tower of Babel with his own hands, causing mankind to be scattered all over the earth and suffer from various plagues and natural disasters.
However, these are just speculations and there are no answers.
Those whose will is not destroyed by the disaster can only pick themselves up again and seek shelter in their homes.
Selena knew that if she had not been lucky enough to have the protection of her family, she might have died in the natural disaster like everyone else.
Even if he didn't die, he would be like Shi Jing, struggling to find food and drink in the city, and he might be targeted by others at any time and encounter all kinds of dangers.
This port was fortunately not hit by the tsunami. Rows of tall containers were piled up on the shore, seemingly waiting to be reloaded and set sail.
But everyone who has seen it knows that this business model may not be as prosperous as it once was for a long time.
Selena sat in the RV, watching the car passing by this steel-clad container fortress. Along the way, she basically only saw the military stationed here, which made her feel endlessly desolate.
Shi Jing brought her younger brother and sister and followed Selena in the car. The convoy was very long, and there were other vehicles as well. They were all driven out of the cruise ship warehouse. They had excellent performance and could withstand long journeys.
Li Xiannian tried his best to bring everyone with him. He didn't know what would happen in the future. These were his subordinates. Even if they could not enter the space base, he would try his best to bring them into the official shelter.
This was the last bit of morality he insisted on.
After reporting to the garrison troops here and planning to continue their journey, someone discovered a strange scene on the sea.
It seemed that not far from the coastline, a large mass of gray fog seemed to be floating towards the shore.
Michael asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
Serena took out a telescope and observed it carefully. "It looks like gray fog."
The troops stationed here also discovered this anomaly and began to withdraw their personnel. The officer who communicated with Li Xiannian also suggested that he stay here for a while before leaving.
After all, traveling in foggy weather is indeed unsafe.
The sea fog came very quickly and swept to the shore almost in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiannian did not insist and nodded.
At this time, Selina also remembered some information about the gray fog.
On the doomsday website, the webmaster also seemed to mention the existence of gray fog. If this is a disaster, I wonder what will happen.
Serena felt a little worried.
Michael was optimistic. "We're not far from the base's relocation point. As long as we set off when the fog clears, we shouldn't encounter any danger."
Shi Jing, standing by, was less optimistic. "What if the fog doesn't dissipate? Since it's been predicted on the website, is it likely to be as dangerous as an earthquake, causing significant damage?"
After these words were spoken, everyone's mood became heavy.
By this time, the gray fog had spread to the port and visibility was rapidly decreasing.
Almost everyone could smell the fresh, fishy smell of the sea in the mist, as well as some kind of rotten and strange smell.
Fortunately, due to the impact of volcanic ash, each of them brought spare masks, which came in handy at this time.
