Chapter 233 Chapter 233 Heavy Fog
10 a.m.
The central government held an emergency press conference
The spokesperson gave accurate answers to several issues that the public is most concerned about online, and his remarks at the end were even more powerful.
After the press conference, the spokesperson's confident answers instantly replaced the trending searches on major social media platforms, making the general public full of confidence in the government and the future.
Minister Wen is right.
I've made it through so many levels before, so why should I be afraid of a few giant octopuses? Even the strongest flesh and blood body cannot withstand the power of bullets and cannons.
The ancestors of mankind were able to stand out among the animals and become the masters of the earth. With countless high-tech and highly lethal weapons, how could they lose to monsters from another world?
Just kidding!
"Batta"
"Don't look at me as just a sheep..."
The TV screen flickered, and the commercial break after the press conference turned into the theme song of the lambs causing trouble in Wolfburg.
Zong Yipeng and Zhang Lingjia snuggled in the soft sofa, eating jelly and watching cartoons, feeling so comfortable and relaxed.
——Ever since they knew their grandfather was a "superman" who could drive away the man-eating monsters outside, the two children completely let go of their fear.
Grandpa is the greatest in the world!
With grandpa here, those monsters won't be able to eat them.
Zong Kangping and Zhang Shuhui had similar thoughts, and after watching the press conference, they felt more confident.
The government has promised to send professionals to eliminate the tentacle monster as soon as possible, and with the father/father-in-law who has profound cultivation, exorcising the monster is no problem.
How many ordinary people in this world can be safer than them?
There are only a few.
I just don't know how things are going on with my parents.
Zhang Shuhui sighed.
Although her parents always said they were fine and safe when she called to ask about their situation, she could tell from the heated arguments faintly coming from the receiver that her brother and sister-in-law were not getting along very well.
Her brother is irresponsible, chauvinistic and has a bad temper, and her sister-in-law is even more easily irritated. The two of them have quarreled and smashed the house countless times, and they have had to replace the TV four times.
And every time it is the parents who clean up the mess.
Thinking of the weird things her brother and sister-in-law had done, Zhang Shuhui felt a terrible headache. She just hoped that the two of them could calm down and not act impulsively to harm the whole family.
Zhang Shuhui doesn't like her brother very much and has complicated feelings towards her parents. She hates that they are always partial.
But after all, they are her parents who gave birth to her and raised her.
To be honest, if there were no brother to compare with, her parents would be considered qualified parents to her.
I remember that giving birth was very exhausting. After finally giving birth to two children, I was immediately transferred to the ICU and stayed there for almost a week before I came back from the brink of death.
Thanks to her parents-in-law who took care of the two children, her parents who provided money, and the elders from both families who helped their small family, her life was back on track.
Zhang Shuhui kept all these things in mind.
Now that her children, husband, and father-in-law are all by her side, and her father-in-law has extraordinary abilities, what she is most worried about now is her parents.
May the foggy weather end soon!
On the sofa half a meter away from Zhang Shuhui, He Junxia's heart was also uneasy, filled with vague worries.
Since the wisher's request explicitly mentioned the sanctuary, it indirectly indicates that the sanctuary is something that will inevitably appear in the process of the fusion of the two worlds.
He has been in the mission world for half a year.
Giant birds with intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary animals and blood mist emitting an ominous aura appeared one after another. In addition, humans were defeated everywhere in the war with the giant birds, and the tentacle monsters in the blood mist became more violent. It was hard not to suspect that it was time to find shelter.
He Junxia frowned.
There is no doubt that finding shelter must be an extremely dangerous journey.
Because he not only has to protect the wisher's grandchildren, but also has to protect the wisher's sons and daughters-in-law as much as possible to prevent them from suffering fatal injuries.
The burden is extremely heavy.
He Junxia looked at the hazy red mist outside the window. It seemed as if there were several thick and enchanting tentacles exciting the mist, greedily gazing at the delicious food hidden in the steel and iron bones.
Time waits for no one. The only thing we can do now is to practice hard and improve our strength as soon as possible.
He Junxia closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the sofa, ignoring the sounds from the outside world, discarding the distracting thoughts in his mind, and forcing himself to quickly enter a state of cultivation.
As for the spokesperson's promise at the press conference, He Junxia did not take it to heart.
He did not doubt the Small World Government's determination to maintain social order, but saying something was not the same as doing it. It took time for a policy to be promulgated and implemented.
Besides, there are giant birds in the sky watching closely.
If humans had found a way to contain the giant birds, the bird-killing team formed by the government some time ago wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. Now that the red fog severely obstructs human vision, the removal operation is even more difficult.
*
One day, two days, three days...
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and the fog outside showed no signs of decreasing, but became even thicker.
If the red mist that appeared at the beginning was the light red color after being diluted by water, then the red mist now is the bright red color of blood just spurting out of the body.
The colors are weird and creepy.
Moreover, the deepening of the red fog is not just a superficial issue, it also seriously affects communication signals.
By now, the mobile phones, TVs and tablets in He Junxia's home have lost network signals, and have also lost channels to contact the outside world.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The violent crashing sound appeared again, even more violent than the first time, as if the monster was issuing an ultimatum to humans.
The residents of the old community fell into great panic in an instant.
However, the official details of the tentacle monster released last week clearly stated that the tentacle monster in the red fog is more sensitive to sound, so no one cursed this time.
But just the roar of the tentacle monster hitting the outer wall of the building is enough to damage human hearing - the sound is louder than the firecrackers during the New Year.
Every time the bell rings, the body shakes, and if this continues for a long time, it will be a painful torture for both the body and the mind.
The two children covered their ears in discomfort.
Zong Yipeng said aggrievedly: "Mom, the monster is so noisy, my ears hurt."
Zhang Lingjia added: "My ears are about to break."
Zhang Shuhui carried the two children to the bedroom with better sound insulation, and a hint of disgust and heartache appeared on her face.
Of course, I feel heartache for the two children, but disgust for the monster outside that disturbs people's dreams.
She comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, Grandpa is here, he will definitely protect us."
Zong Kangping wandered around the living room with his cell phone, trying to find a corner with a signal to call for help.
The man frowned and muttered to himself, "I could still get some signal next to the refrigerator the day before yesterday, but there's nothing today."
"Oh, I got it."
Zong Kangping walked around for several times and finally found some signal near the toilet door. He quickly called the local government's public telephone number for help in the monster-killing operation.
"Hello, the number you dialed is busy, please call again later..."
"Hello, the number you dialed is busy, please call again later..."
After finally getting some signal, the calls he made kept saying the line was busy. Zong Kangping was going crazy.
"Where are the people? Why is the line always busy?"
He Junxia was not surprised by this.
The number of tentacle monsters in the red fog is far greater than that in the white fog, and there are rumors online that the monster-hunting teams formed by governments in many places in response to the call have suffered heavy losses.
There are many main reasons.
First, the red fog caused the failure of various instruments such as thermal imagers, which severely restricted the search for tentacle monsters and driving operations;
Secondly, there are many hungry giant birds circling in the sky hunting, and they seem to be completely unaffected by the red fog.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others or God.
He Junxia stopped Zong Kangping who was running around the room and said, "I'm going to go out and take a look. You and Shuhui stay in one room."
Zong Kangping put down his phone: "Okay, Dad, be careful, this tentacle monster seems to be more powerful than last time."
He Junxia nodded.
Zong Kangping didn't need to tell me that something was wrong just by listening to the loud noise made by this tentacle monster hitting things.
He released his mental power to search for the source of the sound, but the red fog not only affected the radio waves, but also restricted his mental power - the mental power that could originally cover an area within a radius of 25 meters could only revolve within a radius of 15 meters.
The good news is that He Junxia did not find the source of the sound within the search range of his mental power, so the building they were in was relatively safe.
The bad news is that there seems to be another tentacle monster in the community.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The duet of the two tentacle monsters gave no time for anyone to rest. Not to mention ordinary people who had never experienced the trouble of noise, even He Junxia, who was used to concentrating and calming down, felt a little upset.
If these tentacle monsters continue to knock for a period of time, I'm afraid people will be driven crazy.
Just as He Junxia was thinking about a solution, an unusual sound attracted the attention of everyone in the community.
That was the sound of large and small stones falling down after the concrete wall was smashed, symbolizing that the tentacle monster had broken through the first line of human defense.
In an instant, screams of terror resounded through the sky.
What's even more terrifying is that these screams attracted another excited tentacle monster.
