Chapter 216 Chapter 216
The strange area disappeared. When the people outside the strange area saw the black barrier disappear, they immediately rushed into Chengkai Middle School. These people included school leaders, rescue workers dispatched by Han Country, family members of teachers and students, and reporters.
A young man carrying a camera ran madly behind a beautifully made-up female reporter, almost as if his shoes would fly off. They were vying to report the situation on campus first.
Domestic and overseas television stations and online media are all paying attention to this most serious incident of the advent of the alien world in history.
Chengkai Middle School was dead silent.
As soon as I entered the school gate, I saw a student lying in the corner of the teaching building, already dead.
Later, bodies were found in various places, such as in the corridors, classrooms, and bushes.
Such a tragic situation left even those who had prepared themselves mentally dumbfounded and speechless.
Just five minutes after entering, dozens of stretchers were carried out, all covered with white cloth. Some were in even worse condition and had to be packed in bags.
These are the dead bodies that were discovered immediately; there are many others that require careful search and have not been found.
And judging from the injuries, many people died in weapon battles between humans, not from strange causes.
"This... I can't describe my feelings in words." The female reporter holding the microphone saw a man using a shovel to clean up the bloody things on the ground. She pursed her lips and suppressed her disgust. "Next, let's go to the third floor of the restaurant in this school. I hope we can see the strange rabbit in the Weird Domain Illustrated Book again."
Of course, when they arrived, there was no living person on the third floor. Li Tu was no longer there. Only two people who were also staff members from the TV station arrived a little earlier than them. Even the people who collected the bodies had not arrived yet.
Because they already knew who was lying here through the live broadcast, whether for practical reasons or selfish motives, everyone tacitly left Ahn Yoo-hee until the end.
She just lay there coldly.
As the search and rescue progressed, survivors soon emerged one by one. Some were injured, some were extremely frightened and mentally unstable, but there were also some who were hiding or lucky, and did not encounter any strange things, nor did they run into the same kind of people killing each other, and they survived to the end.
Among them were Kim Hyun-jun and Park Yoon-jae, two of the injured.
Park Yoon had a cut on the corner of his mouth, the wound wasn't long, but it was deep and would definitely leave a scar. Kim Hyun Joon's situation was a little more complicated.
His skin turned purple.
No one dared to touch him, and most people thought he had been poisoned by a strange poison and would not live long. But Jin Xianjun said that he was in good condition and felt better than ever before. He felt that he could run for three days and three nights without getting tired.
It took a while for people to realize that he was awakening.
There is a very small chance of waking up if he comes into contact with something strange. After Lee Rabbit left him and Park Yoon-jae behind, Kim Hyun-jun and Park Yoon-jae were buried by the puppet students.
Park Yun-jae was a little jealous of this. They were attacked together, so why was Kim Hyun-jun the only one who woke up?
However, Jin Xianjun was not happy, nor was he surprised. He remembered that Li Tu once said that he had the talent for awakening. It would be a lie to say that he did not have the fantasy of being as handsome and powerful as the awakened people discussed on the Internet. But when awakening really came to him, and he looked like this, he was not happy at all.
"You can't go to an ordinary university." Jin Xianjun whispered as he looked at the purple skin.
Moreover, with such an appearance, even among the awakened ones, it is very conspicuous and strange. In the future, it is bound to bear strange looks from people who know or don't know.
Just like Han Soo-jung back then, he has to endure all kinds of attention from others.
The difference is that as an awakened person, no matter what, those people will never say bad words in front of him, nor dare to bully him.
Jin Xianjun, who had awakened his ability, was taken away. Before leaving, he saw their homeroom teacher. She was still alive, but her skin was torn all over her body. The wounds were densely packed all over her body. Her crazy hands kept flapping and screaming. She had gone crazy.
Kim Hyun-jun looked away.
Knowing that the classmates who came out with the cards were all dead, Park Yun kept congratulating himself for escaping the disaster.
The arrival of the mysterious territory of Han Country has come to an end, but the storm it caused on the Internet has just begun.
Topics discussed by netizens ranged from the number of lives sacrificed to the tragedy that had occurred at Chengkai Middle School, from campus bullying to social atmosphere. The idea that weird things could only happen in lands with a long history was reset today, and people began to gradually face up to the events happening around them.
It seemed as if the whole world had changed because of this. Those with violent tempers became more restrained, and those with mean natures shut their mouths. No one wanted the place where they lived to become the second Chengkai Middle School in Han Country.
I just don't know how long this change can last.
Of course, there are also things that remain unchanged, such as some countries in the Far West, which still go their own way. Many netizens even responded to the bizarre incident at Chengkai Middle School in Han Country with ridicule, and never thought that such an unfortunate thing would happen to them.
There are also smart people who have done statistics. Since the Red Sun, strange events have occurred frequently, and the frequency of strange domains has also increased linearly. Perhaps one day, everyone in this world will come into contact with the strange directly or indirectly, or even enter the strange domain.
This prophecy scares many people, and many hold a negative attitude, saying that if the future really becomes like this, it will be the end of the world. How can the world end? So this is impossible.
Some people also believe that the world is undergoing a dramatic change, and awakening is the process of survival of the fittest, so people should let nature take its course.
Many new sects have emerged in the Western Continent. Some sects believe in the end of the world and promote new doctrines, saying that as long as you believe in the true God, you can escape the disaster. Some sects regard the weird as devil worship and even hold sacrificial activities, sending living people to the places where weird things are born marked on the weird live broadcast map, saying that this is a sacrifice to the gods, and if the gods are satisfied, they will protect the believers.
Many countries in the Western Continent are troubled by these emerging sects. Those sects that simply preach doctrines are fine. The Western Continent is no longer a one-man show of a certain religion. There is freedom of belief. But the latter is somewhat harmful to society. There are always some poor people who are arrested. And those who are related to weirdness are the work of the newly established weirdness investigation department. Even if they have learned secrets from China and have some awakened people, they can't resist the arrival of weirdness, the chaos of the demon sect, and all kinds of troubles. There are not enough manpower. Therefore, some cases related to weirdness and emerging sects that seem to be not very harmful will be suppressed again and again, and buried in the files to be solved.
For example, there was a case where half of the people in a town moved out, which was suspected to be related to a certain religious sect.
Who cares? It's just a move. It's not uncommon for many people to want to live in a safer place because of strange things.
There is also "The Smith family on XX Street was mysteriously attacked and disappeared three days later. The Smith family sold their house and stocks and left the capital."
Did Strange disappear? Did Strange leave on his own? It didn't matter that the Smiths sold their house and stocks.
They were already too busy to deal with weird incidents reported by civilians, let alone these.
This kind of case, which seems to be somewhat related to the weird, but is not urgent to deal with, has occurred in many countries in the Western Continent. Without exception, they have been pushed to the bottom of the box, postponed again and again due to lack of manpower, until they are completely forgotten.
No one knew that in a remote town called Bonetown in the United States, a group of people wearing black cloaks gathered in the square.
It is called a town, but this place can already be called a small city. More and more people gather here, build houses, learn the teachings of the Seker religion, and master the ability to deal with strange things.
"May God Seke protect us." said the leader.
"God Seke protects us." The crowd below responded.
The tall woman in the lead walked to the front and faced the crowd. She took off her hat and it turned out to be Anne Martinez Jones, who was rescued by Carey and had awakened her healing powers.
"Today is a traditional gathering day. I am very happy to see you here." Anne said loudly, "Of course, there are many believers who can never appear here again. They died in order to fight against the evil that harmed people. They are our pioneers, heroes, and the most devout believers."
"May Lord Kairet lead their souls to rest in peace." Anne clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed in a low voice, then she raised her head, "Our believers have spread all over the Western Continent, and our teachings have spread to every believer. Each of us is a prayer and a warrior, and we pray for the dawn. But!"
She changed her words: "There are always some ignorant fools who stand in our way, preventing us from saving others and spreading the glory of God."
"Those shameless and incompetent bastards who collect our taxes!" Anne's voice became louder. "How many of you have begged for their help, but were completely ignored by them. Why? Just because we don't have noble status, riches, and are just ordinary people of no importance, so they just sit back and watch us get hurt or even killed by the cannibalistic monsters. Our lives are not even as important as the dogs of the rich and powerful!"
Many believers below had angry expressions on their faces, and some were even crying. They had lost relatives and friends because of the weirdness, but as Annie said, those who were able to be here were those who had prayed to the U.S. Bureau of Weird Investigation for help but to no avail and were rescued by the Serko Cult.
"Since they won't help us, we will help ourselves. It is the philosophy of our sect to temper ourselves, become stronger, and fight for the future with our own strength. We don't need the help of those rubbish, but even so, they always find various reasons and excuses to hinder us." Annie lowered her voice, "Last week, our companion was captured when he went to save a suffering family. Just because those idiots thought he was a believer of the Demon God Sect. Our companion explained several times that he was going to save others and something strange happened there, but those idiots just locked him up and refused to let him go, nor did they want to save the family troubled by the strangeness."
"In the end, neither our companions nor that family... were able to come here." Annie emphasized, "We are not a sect of the devil. The God Serk and Lord Kailet we believe in are different from others! It's time to let the world know about our existence."
"Let's show those idiots what real power is!"
