Where this fog came from, no one can tell clearly.
Around the same time that the great online reaction began, there were sporadic rumors and self-media reports on the Internet. At first, no one took it seriously, but somehow it became serious.
It no longer makes sense who is the whistleblower. No matter how many stories there are behind it, this is already an established fact.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sudden knock on the door was particularly loud, and the sound seemed to be carried far, far away, with echoes appearing.
Aunt Xue stood inside the door and asked in a trembling voice: "Who?"
"Her aunt, do you have any rice at home? Please help me. She doesn't dare to go out to buy it."
"Aunt Liu?"
"Yes, it's me"
"Wait a moment."
Aunt Xue panicked and couldn't hide at home now.
"Isn't this a big deal? Only if the water and electricity were cut off that day?"
Large tracts, piles, and piles of hair were cleared out, and the Taoist priest drew talismans to set them on fire, and with a bang, there was another shrill scream.
"...I can only adapt to it, there is nothing I can do about it."
"How do you know?", Xie Xiaomeng asked.
"Are there any other players on your floor?"
Children have to go to school, adults have to go to work, and the elderly have to go to the hospital...there is always a reason why you have to leave the house.
More and more people are going out, and people are encountering all kinds of weird things. At the beginning, the Internet was still open, and the owners shared their horrifying experiences in the group. They could no longer be described as frightened.
In the foyer on the first floor, the people watching TV were still there, not even moving. When Xie Xiaomeng passed by, the man who looked like a retired cadre turned around and said to him: "More than 50 million players and tourists have been brought back from Canaan."
A deadly virus is infecting the whole world. From now on, the familiar world will never come back. Some things have been permanently changed. This is the end of the world, but also new life."
And it really works.
No one answered. Xie Xiaomeng went over and found nothing.
"Don't worry, Mom, nothing big will happen."
The water outage seems to be an isolated phenomenon, and the green belt outside is still sprayed with water regularly.
Online is still the same as before.
"Mom, don't drink raw water from now on. Boil it and drink it."
"Sedative injection!"
"What should we do?"
"What can we do? How can we do this?"
Aunt Xue was doubtful, but the water had indeed come, but not long after turning on the faucet, a strand of hair rushed out of the faucet.
Aunt Xue didn't know what happened, so she could only prepare with her own knowledge and thoughts. Every minute of waiting was torture. It looked like it was already 10 a.m., but it was still the same outside.
After eating and drinking enough, Xie Xiaomeng stretched and told Aunt Xue that he wanted to take a bath. He entered the bathroom, but found that the water was stopped.
"Is there water? Is there water?"
Xie Xiaomeng shrugged and walked into the elevator.
"Players!" There was a commotion in the crowd. Everyone was afraid and looking forward to it, mixed with inexplicable weird emotions. "This fog was brought here by you players."
Carefully, he opened the door a crack, and after confirming that it was his neighbor who lived upstairs, he opened the door.
"Stop thinking nonsense, the time to go online is coming soon, let's go online."
The doors of every house were closed, and the elevator was still running normally, but it kept getting stuck on one floor and couldn't get down. A heavy breathing sound came from the stairwell, which sounded a bit ominous at first glance.
With that said, he left the house regardless of Aunt Xue's obstruction.
"There are too many things I can't explain right now, so I have no excuses."
This is already the fifth day.
Instead, he spit out a mouthful of fire in the air to evaporate the pus. He slashed the peach wood sword in front of him while chanting a curse loudly.
She shook her head to suppress the image that had just emerged, hummed a song again, and skipped to the door of her house.
"Pin, Pindao is tired and needs a rest."
Tie Jun simply doubted his own eyes.
"Are you a player?" Tie Jun walked over, "Which building do you live in?"
"What notification?" Xie Xiaomeng asked.
"You are welcome."
There were screams on the call channel.
In the corridor outside the door, the fog is not as thick as outside. It is strange to say that the fog never enters indoor places where people live and move. Even if the windows are open, it will just flow outside like running water.
The neighbors all became sneaky, as if they suddenly became strange and dangerous. At night, I often heard people shouting, shouting, singing, and banging on the door...
"This thing is evil and needs to be purified again."
"I try my best"
The two protective suits stopped in response, and after that, the group of people ignored her and silently treated the unconscious people outside.
"Really, it's still a secret at this time"
"Who?"
"I'm not afraid!" Xie Xiaomeng waved his fist, "I'm a player!"
The corridor was filled with this faint mist, and inside each closed door, there was an eye peering out. Such peeping made Xie Xiaomeng very uncomfortable, and subconsciously imagined some bad scenes.
"It doesn't matter what kind of fetus it is, can it be dealt with?"
"The second group escorted the Taoist priest out."
"That kind of evil is rooted in people's subconscious fear and imagination of deformity. Fear is innate, just like people's breathing. People's subconscious is connected to the vast ocean, which is rapidly affecting and changing everything around us, everyone.
The mind is an isolated island. When it is invaded, fear spreads like a plague. This is how this fog comes - it is the tide of the subconscious ocean!"
What did you just see?
Divine general?
Surprisingly, there were quite a few people here, all neighbors living upstairs and downstairs, all watching a TV with only snowflakes on them, watching with gusto.
Along the way, those who were shaking outside were treated. Considering the size of this city, the official action was quite timely and effective. It should have used a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Judging from such response and organization, it was not
Not prepared.
"How can you reassure me like this?"
The retired cadre said: "It was said on TV."
She shouted nonchalantly into the air, hummed a song, and took the safe passage.
"Okay, it's okay. I just met the people from the Meteorological Bureau. They said that the fog will lift early tomorrow morning."
How could something so... magical appear?
Xie Xiaomeng looked at the TV screen with only snowflakes on it and twitched the corner of her mouth.
Science alone cannot explain this.
"I'll go out and take a look!" Xie Xiaomeng said.
When Xie Xiaomeng logged off, Aunt Xue immediately felt that the room had become much brighter.
"Thank you so much." Aunt Xue ran to the kitchen, fished out a twenty-kilogram bag of rice from the closet, thought about it, and picked up two more cabbages.
Someone in protective clothing came to chase Xie Xiaomeng away. Xie Xiaomeng asked when the water supply would be restored.
After the Taoist priests left, the special team continued to clean the pipeline where the 'abnormal energy reaction gathered' was found. They did not open the floodgates until they confirmed that nothing was missing.
"Sorry!" Xie Xiaomeng waved her hands without any apology and walked out swaggeringly.
Later, fewer and fewer people shared it, and everyone became sensitive and suspicious. Once the Internet was cut off, every household became an isolated island.
Tie Jun shouted loudly on the channel, "Don't let the mental threshold exceed 12 points."
"Building 10, am I a player?"
"Calm down, calm down!"
"What if it scares people to death?"
"Then you continue to wait, bye, I'll go to the water room to have a look."
"Then I thank you."
"Waterhouse?", the expression on the retired veteran cadre's face cracked, "There is something haunted over there."
"No, outside..."
"What the hell!?"
"When will the fog stop?"
"I'm so panicked, my heart is beating so hard, I..."
After about 5 seconds of silence, a retired cadre said, "I'm waiting for the notification."
Xie Xiaomeng hasn't logged off yet. The room is quiet, and there is even more silence outside. In the thick fog, from time to time, I see hurried figures. Some fall, some hit the street lampposts, and some
He was running in a weird circle and couldn't escape.
"puff!"
The light in the elevator flickered on and off. I don't know if it was an illusion. I always felt like something was crawling on it. Xie Xiaomeng thought silently, "It's okay to be weird, it's weird. It's self-defeating." He returned to his home floor without incident.
.
"I don't know...give me another bowl."
"Is it still like that outside?"
Everyone looked back at her almost at the same time, expressionless.
Seeing that the protective clothing here would not leave for a while, Xie Xiaomeng reluctantly returned the same way.
Tie Jun fished out large clumps of hair from the water pipeline, and then a thick, dark red substance gushes out, clattering, and spreads on the floor like jelly.
The Taoist priest set up an incense table in front of the evil fetus, drew talismans, invited gods, cast spells, and suppressed demons. He did everything in a decent manner. I don't know, he thought he was making a movie.
This so-called evil fetus seems to have lost its activity, but it is still spreading invisible influence. Whenever you see it, your self-control ability is plummeting. The strange thing is that even the means at the disposal of Tie Jun and their special group cannot eliminate this influence.
.
Ordinary people would be absolutely horrified when they saw this scene, but Xie Xiaomeng didn't care. She walked over with a smile and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"...When will this end?"
"Mom, do you have food? I'm so hungry."
Tie Jun waved his hand and ignored her.
"Don't worry, who am I? The title of Ling Jue is for nothing."
As the ritual process progressed, the evil fetus seemed to have a reaction, and those dumb dead eyes were turning, all staring at the Taoist priest.
"Quick... everyone else, step back, all of them."
"Is there something dirty? Is this water still drinkable?"
Tie Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Try not to drink raw water, and don't ask about anything else."
"Let the Taoist priest come in."
Going down one floor at a time, reaching the 7th floor, Xie Xiaomeng was mentally prepared for something unusual to happen, but it went smoothly. He finished walking up the stairs and came to the foyer on the first floor.
"real?"
"Lord Infinite Life, this is an evil fetus!"
"It hasn't been said on TV yet. I'll tell you later."
"Hello, policeman, thank you for your hard work, policeman."
"What happened in the water room? Something happened, I heard a baby crying..."
Xie Xiaomeng felt sick when she thought of the hair that had been cleaned out from the pipes.
…
The flowers, plants and trees are growing extremely vigorously. In just a short time, the road has been invaded by weeds, and the flowers are blooming in various colors. In such fog, they look particularly magical.
"What's going on? Why doesn't anyone give an explanation?"
The Taoist priest was sweating profusely and trembling all over as he rang the bell. The sweet sound of the bell seemed to have special magic power. The evil boy screamed. At 2023-01-25 23:18:35, there was a "pop!" sound, and an eyeball appeared.
It exploded, sputtering out pus-yellow water and hitting the incense table directly.
The man said nothing and only waved his hands as if to drive him away.
Xie Xiaomeng picked off a flower and skipped towards the water house. She saw a group of people wearing full protective suits and gas masks. These people who were cleaning up the people who were 'sleepwalking' outside also brought a few unknown people to the water house.
After running for many laps, I rescued the unfortunate guy who had fainted on the roadside.
There were also a lot of protective clothing over the water supply pipeline, and a blockade was pulled up around the perimeter. I also saw a few Taoist priests and monk-like people. There was a shrill, inhuman scream, and there was a clanging sound in the pipeline room.
, and then there was fire, and then... hair.
"Then what do you think we should do, uncle?"
This thing is so disgusting. It looks a bit like an embryo that has already formed. In the center, the outline of human hands and legs have grown. More than a dozen hands and legs are growing on a soft torso, as if there are no bones yet.
A red ball of flesh that looks like a head is like a half-full water bladder, covered with dull, lifeless human eyes.
Aunt Xue waited in fear. When her daughter came back, she quickly opened the door and pulled her in.
Xie Xiaomeng waved to them with a smile, and saw two protective suits coming towards her, "No, no, I'm a player, I can handle it on my own."
"There has to be an explanation, right?"
"No, we don't want players to get together... You are also a player, right? What's with those hairs?"
Maybe the thick fog broke out in one place, giving a certain amount of warning time, but I don’t know which place was so unlucky and how wide the thick fog affected. If it was the same all over the country and the whole world, it would be fun to watch.
Xie Xiaomeng stood outside the blockade and shouted. Tie Jun and his colleagues were almost dead from exhaustion. They glanced here and waved.
Aunt Liu thanked her so much that she closed the door, sprayed everything with disinfectant spray, and breathed a sigh of relief.
boom!
A bolt of thunder struck Nie Ti, and purple flames suddenly exploded. A golden-armored godman was vaguely seen flashing in the void, and the ground became clean.
"It's more real than real gold, so just leave it alone."
Aunt Xue was about to touch it, "This is..." Xie Xiaomeng quickly grabbed it and threw it into the trash can, "Who is so unethical? Really...Mom, no need to drain the water, I won't wash it."
The major counterattack was in full swing. On the surface, everything seemed to be going well, and a lot of lost ground was recovered.
Players gradually adapted to this rhythm, and their learning ability was amazing. The power of the fourth natural disaster began to make the natives of Canaan at a loss. The massive losses of personnel and materials made it impossible for them to maintain an aggressive offensive posture.
But, this is just an illusion.
The bad news begins with the collapse of Abyss Battlefield.
