An era has ended.
The huge tragedy on the Bund of S City shocked the whole of China, but we can turn our attention to the world, such as the tragedy of this evening, which spread from the American Plate from north to south, across the Atlantic Ocean, eroded ancient Europe, clung to the largest land plate on the planet, and then came to China, crossing the vast Pacific Ocean - like a crow announcing death, it took a long journey around the world, leaving no one alive wherever it passed.
"What happened?! Could it be that the enemy's mysterious weapon attacked us?!"
"Last night, someone witnessed uniformed personnel entering the Bund scene. Have the relevant departments intervened in the investigation?!"
“Son—my son!!”
The media lights were mixed with the cries of the victims' families, and the safe zone outside the cordon seemed like another world.
——#ExplosionChina held a press conference on the "S City Bund Incident"
——#ExplosionA large-scale protest broke out in Washington, D.C. White fog...
Soon, a piece of news was undoubtedly the most searched on the Internet.
#The country issued a level one white fog alert
"...white fog, a change that cannot be explained by current science..."
"Residents of the Bund in City S are required to follow instructions and take refuge in the air-raid shelter..."
"...The military and armed forces are en route to the scene. We can see that the people at the scene have been evacuated... The follow-up situation will be reported via live broadcast from outside the scene..."
"The families of the victims... have been comforted..."
clatter.
Xie Jingyi turned off his phone.
When he and Xu Shiqing arrived at the scene, those who needed to go in had already gone in, and the white fog situation was clearly under control. It stayed on the sea surface, safe and sound like a dormant monster.
"It's all public." Xie Jingyi said to Xu Shiqing that the two of them were here just in case, as a backup.
To be honest, everyone was very nervous about this level of white fog, the location, the speed of its spread, and the number of people involved.
Xu Shiqing dropped his phone into his pocket. He looked restless, though his expression remained unchanged. "Director Fang said things are very chaotic outside right now. This is a global outbreak, and the higher-ups are already in contact with other countries."
"The world is in chaos." Xie Jingyi said calmly, "This was predicted long ago. It's just coming true now. Don't worry. We've done everything we should do."
[Nothing can be detected inside.] 021 is powerless [This is a key plot point. The world consciousness says I am not allowed to interfere.]
"That means something unexpected has happened." This is why Xu Shiqing was nervous: "Whether it is good or bad, we can't predict it before we get through it..."
"Is Huang Shaoxing here?" Xu Shiqing glanced around.
[Yes.] System 021 said, [In this case, at least the world consciousness is certain that Huang Shaoxing will be fine. With his current strength, the white fog shouldn't be too serious.]
"No way, this is the city center." Xu Shiqing asked, "Can you locate how many characters are there?"
[I know what you mean.] If there are enough characters in the story, then the fact that City S is safe can be inferred from the side. As for the extreme situation where the city is destroyed and only one tenth of the population survives, judging by the various forms of attack by the white fog, the possibility is extremely low.
Even if it did happen, China's army and firepower were more than enough to counter it. Unless it was a sudden, massive blow, which 021 had verified with World Consciousness, it was clearly impossible.
[The heroine Wu Huaiying is inside, she went in with Captain Chen.] The system said, [There's also one of Huang Shaoxing's younger brothers, Zhao Hong... His influence is here!]
021 was truly relieved. [That's all right! City S will be fine!]
"Shiqing?" Xie Jingyi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xu Shiqing many times.
"What did you think of?" he asked.
Xu Shiqing came back to his senses, was silent for a moment, and said, "I hope everyone will come back safely."
Xie Jingyi pinched Xu Shiqing's ear soothingly. "It's okay. Captain Shen, Captain Chen, and Captain Zhao are all inside. Your former deputy team also went in to provide support, as well as other elites from the Abnormal Management Bureau."
"Six hours have passed." Xu Shiqing didn't have time to think about the familiarity of this action. He was always straightforward and said, "I want to go in."
"It makes me uneasy."
Under the neon lights, the huge monster reflecting the texture of stacked clouds and mist almost seems to be pressing in front of the eyes.
"...I also feel that this time is different." Xie Jingyi also felt that something was wrong, but he and Xu Shiqing were the only captain-level Beyonders on the scene. The requests of the other captains to rush over were rejected. "But someone has to stay at the scene to calm people down."
A long breeze was blowing on the seashore, and the narrow boardwalk along the shore was lined with fully armed soldiers. Part of the boardwalk extended outward to a small beach, where the dead bodies of birds were constantly pushed ashore by the waves.
The waning moon hung high in the sky, and its hazy eyes examined the abrupt and huge white object on the sea.
Another three hours passed.
Eleven hours have passed since the incident, and it is already seven in the morning.
Facing the increasingly bright sea, the huge creature stood still.
Xu Shiqing took a few steps forward; he couldn't wait any longer.
Eleven hours is already far beyond the normal white fog processing time of the Abnormal Management Bureau, not to mention that there are three captain-level strongmen in it!
Some team members escaped from the white fog, but they were all seriously injured. The news they brought was not optimistic. The power fluctuations of the three captains were very violent, which made it hard not to wonder whether they were caught in a fierce battle.
Xie Jingyi's premonition of trouble had come true. He grabbed Xu Shiqing and said, "I'll call Director Fang first!"
