"Break! Evacuate the citizens first! Quick! Go and organize!"
"Mom, I'm afraid..."
"Hey, hey, Lina! Open your eyes and see if I'm okay...Lina..."
…
Countless cries and gunshots were mixed together. Sean's pupils dilated little by little. He unconsciously took two steps forward, and the fingers on the holster of his gun kept shaking.
There's blood everywhere...
The military police who came after hearing the news suppressed them for a time with a steel barrage of pistols and heavy firepower, but the number of monsters increased.
Gray-red fleshy tentacles wriggled in the sky like seaweed. A huge human face had its eyes closed tightly and a nonchalant smile hanging from the corner of its mouth, like a strange creation that could be painted by the most absurd painter.
All kinds of strange monsters roam freely on the streets, using sharp teeth, giant claws, and tentacles to dismember human figures, just like diners walking around in a cafeteria, choosing desserts.
Under heavy casualties, the hastily organized defense lines collapsed one after another.
Bang!
The ground shook heavily.
"Get down!"
Before he could think any more, a roar came from behind him. Sean was kicked hard in the knee, and then a big hand pressed down on his head, causing him to fall to the ground involuntarily.
Pfft——
The fleshy tentacle suddenly swung towards him, like a steel whip, easily breaking the street lamp behind Sean into two pieces.
"shot!!!"
The roar rang in his ears again, almost like a lion roaring at him.
Sean was so excited that he subconsciously drew his gun and shot at the face not far away.
Blood sprays, roars and bullets tearing the air mixed together, and the surrounding police officers also turned their guns and fired in this direction.
The sound of gunfire was like thunder, and dense barrage came from all directions. The 7.62x39mm steel core bullets poured out at a speed of 100 rounds per minute. The magazine was emptied in an instant, and then the magazine was immediately replaced and fired.
Several high-speed machine guns farther away were spitting muzzle flashes several meters long, and the huge shock caused by the bullets that exceeded the speed of sound when they came out of the barrel made everyone's ears buzz.
The huge human face was defeated step by step under this attack. It waved its tentacles, but those organs that were harder than steel were smashed by the bullets and turned into a puddle of gray-red minced meat in just a few breaths.
"This is...what..."
At this time, Sean, who was grabbed by the collar and taken off to a distance, couldn't help but look back.
The human face is three meters tall, much taller than a one-story building, and its facial features are kind and old.
Its chin has no beard, replaced by grey-red fleshy tentacles as hard as steel. The human face relies on these tentacles to walk. Looking from a distance, it looks like a human head covered with centipede legs.
"Monsters, aliens, they are all dangerous beasts anyway."
Laughter sounded from behind.
As soon as Sean's collar was loosened, he turned around and saw a man with white hair twitching the corners of his mouth in disdain.
It seems impossible to tell a man's age from his appearance.
He has dark eyebrows, a tall stature, and his "magnificent" cardiac muscles that seem to burst the police uniform at any time, but his old eyes and white hair all indicate that this man is as fierce as a lion.
Men are no longer young.
"Chief Nottingham!"
Sean's heart skipped a beat and he saluted respectfully.
"thank you……"
He wanted to say that if you hadn't kneeled me down, my more than 150 pounds might have been accounted for, but before he could formulate his words, the old man who was as fierce as a lion interrupted him directly.
.
"Whose subordinate are you?"
"Sian Spencer, Sandhurst School of Engineering graduate in 2014, I -"
A loud noise interrupted him again.
A large octopus was shot down by a heavy machine gun and hit Sean directly in front of him a few steps away.
The flesh and blood were smashed into a pulp and spread unevenly on the ground. It looked like an octopus as tall as a person, but on its back, long wings that looked like bones grew, with dry skin sticking to the bones, and the edges of the wings.
Glowing with the sheen of cold steel.
Even though half of its body was shot away by a heavy machine gun, the big octopus was obviously not dead yet.
It was squirming on the ground like a snake, its eroded suckers trying to wrap around Sean's calf, and there was a strange light in its eyes.
Sean stared at the octopus in a daze and the scarlet blood stains it dragged out. The churning nausea made him want to vomit, but his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by a big hand, unable to move.
"Can you also release spiritual shock? Things are really getting more and more troublesome!"
Director Nottingham, who was watching with cold eyes, suddenly frowned fiercely.
He stomped forward so hard that the strangely shining eyeball exploded! The thick cowhide boots stepped back and forth on the octopus, like a steamroller crushing stones into powder!
The octopus twitched under his feet, but it made no sound and just rolled like a puddle of flesh.
"Are those idiots from the Foundation busy eating shit? Why don't they come over to support?!"
!”
The roars of guns and monsters became more intense.
Before Sean could recover from the weird scene just now, Nottingham once again grabbed his collar and dragged him down in an alley. Nottingham angrily pulled out his gun, and the old man cursed and pointed at the man at his feet.
Octopus emptied the magazine: "You can't defend yourself with just these machine guns, damn! I usually take care of the dirty work, but when it's their turn to help, all the people will die? This time I
Definitely send the report letter to the twenty-eight-member council. Don’t try to fool it again.
A few seconds later, the ground they were standing on was instantly destroyed.
A huge green slime monster squirmed, and its smoking tubular mouthparts slowly retracted into its body, making a gurgling bubble sound.
Just now, it was the mouthpart-like organ that poked out of its body and emitted an energy beam, destroying the ground where the two were standing.
"This...what is it..."
Boom!
A grenade hit it from a distance, strong fire and black smoke rolled up, and the green slime monster struggled in the explosion and howled like a baby.
"Also, the foundation, what is it..." Sean looked at all this blankly: "Is it the city's AIDS charity organization... the Green Thorn Foundation?"
"Douglas, or, as its founder is called, the Bell Douglas Foundation."
The old man leaned against the wall of the alley, tiredly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it:
“It is a mysterious organization whose operations are not interfered with by the jurisdiction, authorization and entrustment of major national governments. It can also be said that it dominates... all countries and organizations in the world except the Confederacy.
Our job is to contain anomalies, events, and individuals in the world, those that can pose a significant threat to global security through physical or psychological harm. Or, you can understand it this way."
The old man blew out a smoke ring:
"We are protecting the world..."
Sean looked at him blankly. The gunfire and monster roars outside the alley continued, but in this small space, time and sound seemed like flies in amber.
"Director, are you kidding..." Inexplicable uneasiness surged from the bottom of his heart. Sean forced a smile: "Why are you telling me this, are you lying?" In order to keep the foundation's secrets, I almost sacrificed my life.
In my life, if I still have to hide my secret until my death at the last moment of my life, no matter what, I will always feel regretful in my heart."
"Then I..." Sean swallowed: "No, what if we...survive?"
"It's true."
The old man's face was expressionless: "As for why I'm telling you this, it's because we're all about to die. I'm just a civilian on the surface and don't have enough fighting power.
"If we survive, the Foundation will erase your memory." The old man looked at him as if he were a fool:
"They are professionals in doing this kind of thing."
Sean: "..."
*
His heartbeat accelerated, his palms became sweaty, and Xia's eyes widened. He guessed that his heartbeat had been approaching the limit of 180 beats per minute several times. Time passed by second by second, and in less than half a minute, several snail-like monsters seemed to smell.
After sensing the smell, they groped slowly towards the alley where they were hiding.
The old man next to him had quietly put out his cigarette, and the hand holding the gun was old and strong.
Just when he felt like he was about to be overwhelmed by the slowly closing fear, a strange notification sound suddenly sounded around him.
The sound was like the swaying of a bronze wind chime in the warm wind, or like the tinkling tinkling of thousands of gold foils colliding against each other.
Sean's face turned pale and he subconsciously wanted to turn it off. This usually pleasant sound sounded like the roar of death at this moment!
Because it was not only him who heard the sound, but also the approaching snail people...
"Oh shit!"
The one who moved faster than Sean was the old man. Nottingham stared at the watch in his hand with a look of surprise, when he was about to curse.
A young voice came from the watch.
"Temporary emergency notice! Temporary emergency notice! Contained object 2-199 Warlock has left the observation facility and the containment has failed! Mr. Nottingham, please evacuate the scene immediately and wait for the rescue team in a safe area!"
"……What?!"
This time, it was the old man's turn to turn white.
All the surrounding buildings and cars were reduced to pieces. Among the ruins on the ground, Baizhu slowly climbed up from a broken wall, his expression indifferent.
In the distance, Lunde had lost half of his body. The Staff of Portugal in his hand had turned into a handful of silver powder, but he still held it tightly subconsciously, his pupils staring at the sky, full of fear and despair.
.I don’t know whether it was due to excessive blood loss or fear, but he completely fainted. Next to him, Quintus’ face was full of shock, and his whole body was trembling.
In the sky, a colorful crack thousands of meters long appeared——
Countless alien monsters fell from the crack like dumplings, densely packed like water droplets in the rainy season.
The center of the crack is thousands of meters long.
A vague figure raised his head, the clouds under his feet were black, the figure seemed to be standing in the center of a black sun totem, mysterious and majestic......
....
"Hey... I can't beat you..."
Quintus bit the tip of his tongue hard. The smell of blood and severe pain made him barely stop trembling.
The mage who was arrogant just a few minutes ago turned his head tremblingly to Bai Shu, with pleading and deep despair in his eyes, and his face twitched uncontrollably...
"This city is finished, everyone will die..."
He said to Bai Shu: "Join us, help me, let's escape together..."
