The capital of Britain is known as the Fog City.
It was once a financial center and an industrial city in the real world, and even once became one of the most prosperous cities.
Many capital prototypes in steampunk are often based on foggy cities in the glory days.
Before dawn, it is the darkest time of the day.
Fog City East District.
This urban area, known as the abyss of reality by knowledgeable people, is the lowest level of the Fog City and an area where wanderers gather.
When the foggy city was at its most glorious, it was also when the bones, blood and tears in this city were at their deepest.
A place where the poor have no family and an abyss were vivid and not exaggerated adjectives for this urban area at that time.
As Britain declined, the people living in this urban area were not so miserable.
But there is little hope.
Just getting by on handouts.
Gil is an old man with white skin and gray hair who just moved to the East End with his companions.
They originally lived in a villa.
Many uninhabited villas on the outskirts of the foggy city have always been a good place for vagrants like them. Even if the owners of the villas know about it, they are often unable to drive them away.
However, in the past two years, the number of lawless refugees has increased, and they soon also set their sights on these territories.
As a result, Jill and their companions were kicked out, and they could only come to the East End to live on the church and official relief meals.
As for work, it is impossible to work. It is impossible to work in this life.
“It’s so cold!”
Jill suddenly woke up from her sleeping bag and soon felt something crawling not far away.
"wildcat?"
Gil grumbled. He was sleeping in a park that had not been maintained. It was normal for wild cats and dogs to be found here.
But...Gill suddenly saw the reptile suddenly turning its head to look at him.
In the dark night, the darkness makes it difficult to see.
but!
What the hell is this! How come his eyes are like burning green flames?
It's so scary!
"ah!"
Just as Jill was thinking, a piercing scream came from not far away.
Soon, these screams began to rise and fall one after another, becoming one.
Gil quickly climbed up from his sleeping bag, but in a panic, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a black mass in front of him.
So, Jill couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly.
Fortunately, the black shadow only slightly punctured Jill's clothes. After the skin was broken and blood began to bleed, perhaps he felt that this person was not tasty, so he immediately jumped away.
Gil, who was still in shock and looking at his chest bleeding, was left in a daze.
Dawn soon came and the sky glowed again.
Gill came back to his senses under the stimulation of the sun and quickly checked his body. After finding nothing, he looked at the grass around him and swallowed his saliva. After vowing never to sleep here again, he started looking for his companions.
Unexpectedly, I had just found my companion who was also in shock and was about to leave the park. Even police cars rarely appeared in the foggy East District. Countless police cars and various special vehicles arrived early in the morning with the sirens blaring.
.
From some trucks, soldiers wearing chemical protective suits ran down and surrounded Gill and others.
"Look, the helicopter is coming too!"
The companion next to Jill raised his head and saw the helicopter flying in the sky, but the logo on it was not the official British one.
It is a rather special security company, the symbol of Montenegro Security.
This is a violent organization that was invited to help the foggy city's security since the riots five years ago.
Five years ago, unprecedented riots occurred in the foggy city. What started as burning cars turned into vandalism, looting and even burning buildings.
Even one of the largest department stores in the foggy city was burned down in the mob's carnival.
So the upper echelons of Fog City became angry after being confused.
They recruited retired officials from Citigroup who had the most experience in suppressing riots as their commanders.
And established a mercenary company composed of professional soldiers who really dare to kill people to solve this crisis.
The result was very good. The riot that the Fog City police and the army had not solved for a week was put down within 48 hours after this team came in.
The reason is also simple.
How dare they shoot!
And after catching the rioters, no matter what their identities are, they will be made public and handed over to the official trial.
Many local naughty kids in the foggy city who took advantage of the troubled waters were shocked and did not dare to continue.
Gil was not afraid of the Fog City police, but when he saw these security forces being dispatched, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
What is this going to do?
This action is too big.
Holy Lord, please save us!
While Jill was praying silently in her heart.
In a command vehicle, Commander Arnold, who came from Citi but was poached, with white hair but still energetic, was discussing the next action plan in a low voice with a senior official and several experts.
Commander Arnold is very interested in extraordinary events.
He is an ambitious man, otherwise he would not have been poached by Britain to take this position that is under pressure from public opinion.
After learning about the extraordinary abnormal events in the East District of Fog City, Arnold felt that his opportunity had come.
As the most powerful official sword outside of the military, Arnold hopes to show greater value to his team, thereby gaining more resources and power.
He longed for his Montenegrin mercenaries to be as glorious as the French Foreign Legion.
Even... there really is a global catastrophe as some prophets have said.
Now that he has real military power, he may not be able to go further!
"Please take a look, this is a high-definition image that has just been restored by the institute."
"This is the culprit who took advantage of the darkness to attack the citizens of the East District of Fog City not long ago!"
As one expert opens a video.
Arnold and several officials stared at the monster on the screen with their eyes widened in surprise.
They all recognize this monster.
But just because I recognized it, I felt even more frightened.
"Isn't this a mouse?"
Arnold stretched out his right hand and pointed at the shadow monster on the screen and said:
"But why is it so big!"
"How can there be a mouse bigger than an adult Erha!"
"..."
Arnold's exclamation was also the confusion of other officials.
The mouse suddenly grew so big. What if it was a mutation caused by extraordinary factors?
Then... is it possible that this mutation can cause mutations in other places, or even cause mutations in other creatures?
If only the rats in the entire foggy city were that big.
If it's a cockroach, the ants will also grow bigger!
Will the rumored apocalypse come to the British Twist region first?
For a moment, he controlled the atmosphere in the car.
Extremely nervous!
Outside the car, strict disinfection procedures began.
Gill and others also underwent blood tests and other procedures immediately after being brought to the temporary camp.
at the same time.
Chapter completed!
