The retreat order was urgently issued again. Although most people had begun to be affected mentally, they were still able to evacuate safely after being woken up by others.
But for the defense forces that were too close, some individual soldiers were still deeply trapped.
"Bang"
There was a gunshot, and a sergeant committed suicide in a trance.
However, the gunshots woke up the other soldiers around him. Only then did they hear the retreat order repeated over and over again on the loudspeaker in the distance, and flags waving rapidly farther away.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!! Get out of here, retreat 1 kilometer, retreat 1 kilometer!!"
A captain rushed over and yelled.
Four soldiers dragged the sergeant's body and retreated, and the surrounding soldiers immediately ran backwards.
Outside the latest encirclement, several reinforced battalions that came to take over the defense have been deployed in place, and all the soldiers who had originally withdrawn have returned to the rear camp.
There are already doctors waiting there, and they need to go through a 48-hour observation period before they can confirm that the person has escaped the mental curse.
Van Xier, a first-level agent of the Super Research Department, is temporarily in command of the overall situation in the camp.
It was a wise decision to build the camp 5 kilometers away from the blockade line. If it was next to it, we would have been in a mess just now.
"Sir, the evacuation report is out. A total of 12 defense soldiers were severely affected, 8 of whom were confirmed to have committed suicide, and 4 are missing."
A lieutenant entered the camp tent to report the situation.
"Sir, Plan C is ready. Shall we execute it now?"
Van Xier frowned and thought about it, then shook his head in rejection.
"No, wait a little longer. We don't know if this will cause other reactions. Be alert and keep an eye on the special intelligence officer's reaction!"
"Yes, sir!"
The lieutenant received the order and ran out of the tent.
50 meters outside the latest blockade circle, a stainless steel trench embedded in the ground had been filled with a large amount of fuel. Some soldiers were checking it and carefully covering it with insulation cloth.
Some passage areas are covered with heavy steel plates so that vehicles and personnel ahead can be moved or retreated at any time.
"Be careful not to create open flames. Plan C will not be implemented for the time being. Everyone, be careful of open flames..."
And further away, from the telescope, or from within the sniper territory, cages were placed at regular intervals around the interior of the latest blockade.
Inside are some mice, pigeons and other animals, and there are convenient probes with poles next to them.
Although these devices will be affected from the moment the alarm is sounded, the previous death maze zone has little impact on communications, and there is no guarantee that its spread will still affect communications, so a "special observer" is added.
Animals' intuition is always exceptionally sharp, and due to their brain capacity and simple minds, they are particularly susceptible to influence. If placed in the Death Maze influence zone, changes can be observed within a few short periods of time.
In the sky, quadcopter drones approached the blockade area one after another, and technicians at the camp command center kept a close eye on the control screen.
A drone suddenly lost control and flew straight, indicating that the remote control was interrupted.
"Out of control at 100 meters, Unit 2 will advance in 5 seconds."
More than ten seconds later, the No. 2 drone also lost control and flew straight according to the final instructions. In the absence of obstacles ahead, a straight-flying drone can often fly out of the impact area and be regained control by the controller on the other side.
"Out of control at 150 meters, Unit 3 will advance in 5 seconds."
…
"Lost control at 300 meters, continued to advance in 5 seconds."
…
"850m altitude control is effective, the death maze zone is defined, keep cruising and confirm every 1 minute!"
"I understand" "I understand"...
…
On the special plane from Paris, Cordell received the latest intelligence from the front.
The latest impact radius is 1.1 kilometers, the impact height is 0.85 kilometers, there has been no further amplification within 10 minutes, the highest earthquake intensity is 5.5, and there has been no further shaking within 10 minutes.
Plan B is being implemented, Plan C is being prepared, and Plan D is ready to be targeted...
The other agents nearby were also staring at the information.
Several evolvers, including Luna, read even faster and could confirm all the information in just one glance.
I also have a thorough understanding of the alphabetical scheme of sorting.
Fortunately, the situation did not continue to deteriorate.
…
In the secret place of Qingzhen, looking at the two little guys who were suddenly in great pain, Qin Xiaoxia quickly closed the box that had the function of prohibiting magic.
Just now, the two little guys started to twitch, their limbs were completely limp, and their bodies were shaking.
Fortunately, after the box was closed, the two little guys calmed down quickly, and then ran back to the golden cage and hugged each other.
"Girls, that is your cage, not a bed to cover your head!!"
"Hahaha……"
Su Su was originally worried, but was immediately amused by the tutor's humorous tone.
"Sure enough, they like being in cages!! Sure enough, I was right, they should be kept by me!!"
Doudou stuffed two balls of wet cotton in his nose and endured the stench around him. He didn't know when he came to the cage again.
It pressed its face against the golden cage, squeezing out a strange shape, then suddenly pulled its face away, stuck out its tongue and made a face.
“Slightly…”
“Ah~~” “Ah…”
He really likes to raise some interesting things, but mischief is the nature of the mischievous elf, which makes the living environment of his pets very harsh. Ordinary animals usually can't stand it, and if they unfortunately die heroically, those species that can be eaten will be recycled for culinary research.
The two little guys were so scared that they just stuck to the other side of the cage.
Looking at these special cages, they will apply this technique in different levels according to the different prisoners inside.
This type of technology is quite convenient. The magic pattern scrolls collected by Pipi this time contain relevant basic knowledge, but the specific product technology is like the difference between theory and patent, so I still have to arrange research and development.
The sealing effect of the wooden box is even better. It is small but exquisite, and the eight pairs of wings are sealed inside.
This technology, which he thought was very epoch-making, was actually called "slavery" by its inventor Aksen. It was only widely used in cage making and slave training, which was a complete waste of resources.
When Qin Xiaoxia was compiling it before, he waved his hand and determined the tone of "Sealing Ritual".
But at this moment, the focus is on what is happening in eastern France.
He had naturally heard of the name of the "Death Maze" for a long time. Huang Jiutian and Baru had both been there at close range, but neither of them had made any key discoveries.
The two little guys that my students "shipped" back from another world this time must have some connection with that world.
Under Su Su's comfort, they escaped from the cage and into Su Meizi's arms, clinging to her and refusing to let go, in order to stay away from the threat of the big devil Doudou.
Rubbing his chin with the back of his fingers, Qin Xiaoxia thought carefully about the matter in the death maze area.
He originally thought that it was an unknown natural disaster, but the two little guys in front of him had such a big reaction, which was enough to show that both of them were not simple.
"Shouldn't you explain the term Gillian to me? Hmm?"
At one point when the two little guys were twitching in pain, they kept muttering this strange-sounding name.
When they heard Qin Xiaoxia's question, they first froze, and then looked at him tremblingly.
The pain just now seemed to be connected to something, causing certain fragments of memory to appear in their minds.
…
Several hours passed until it was early morning in a rural village in eastern France.
The members of the Super Research Department rushed to the blockade and launched another investigation.
As the only known sensory type evolver in the country, Luna was carefully protected at a distance.
A platform was raised using a ladder fire truck, and accompanied by two Evolver agents, the little girl looked out at the blockade area in the distance.
But since the ladder was raised, Luna's whole body has been stiff.
When she reached the best point, the agents around her finally noticed something was wrong with her.
"Luna, Luna? What's wrong with you? Did you see something?"
Another female agent shook Luna and tried to cover her eyes.
“Corpse…corpse…no, no…I don’t know…ah~~~~~~~~”
The little girl suddenly screamed, her heart filled with fear and despair. She clutched her neck tightly with both hands and looked helplessly at the older brothers and sisters around her.
"I, I can't breathe... I, cough, I..."
"Calm down, Luna!! Calm down!!! You're gonna strangle yourself!!"
The two agents grabbed Luna's hands tightly and pulled them away from her neck.
The people below also hurriedly lowered the ladder. Luna was the darling of the Super Research Group. If she wasn't so young and dependent on her parents, she should have been recruited for special training long ago.
When they got downstairs, Luna was still emotionally unstable and kept talking incoherently.
Cordell was nervous for a while, and it was not until the doctor injected a sedative that the little girl calmed down and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After instructing that an evolver must look after the little girl 24 hours a day, the people in the Super Research Department could only guess the information based on Luna's previous intermittent words.
When mentioning the corpse, he seemed uncertain and full of fear, and seemed to be affected by the power of the death maze at a distance.
Are there any dead bodies inside, or is it just a fantasy of everyone's death?
This feeling of being out of touch with normal science and feeling helpless is terrible.
It was close to noon local time.
Amid the sound of propellers, several helicopters approached the camp from afar, and observers sent by other countries in the World Alliance also arrived.
However, along with the observers came two mysterious men in robes.
Cordell, who had received the news earlier, went to the landing point to greet them in person despite his busy schedule.
"Hello, my friends from Dawn!! I'm the head of the French Department of Response to Paranormal Events, my name is Cordel!"
Cordell was the first to greet the people of Dawn politely, extending his hand and identifying himself.
Although people from other countries are observers, they always feel like they are being laughed at. The Dawn Association will not do such boring things. The only reason they can come is to help.
The mysterious man in the lead nodded to Cordel and stretched out his hand to shake his hand gently.
"Hello, Mr. Cordell, I am the Sage of the Dawn Era."
The noisy sounds around suddenly quieted down. Everyone had similar thoughts and everyone was in a brief moment of disbelief. Even the foreign observers who came with the mysterious man did not expect that it would be the Sage of Dawn who came in person this time.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The tremor came again, shaking the people around in amazement.
"Gillian's seal can no longer hold..."
This sigh brought the people around back to their senses, and their faces showed their own guesses and realizations.
