The first ray of light in the morning dispelled the shadows hanging over the town, and it was finally liberated from the abyss shrouded in darkness and fog.
However, everything can no longer return to the way it was before.
Before daylight arrives, the residents here have fallen into eternal decay and will never be able to see this beautiful rising sun again.
The members of the expedition team did their best and spent a whole night searching the entire town, trying to find even one survivor.
But things are always so desperate and painful. Apart from finding traces of some residents' lives and biological tissues that have turned into mud, they can't find even the slightest sign of life.
Even the ordinary grass growing on the roadside has disappeared.
The more they searched, the more disappointed and sad the members of the expedition became.
If the giant hadn't rescued them, they would have turned into similar things like everyone else in the town.
"Everyone has worked hard. You can find a place to rest in the car or another relatively clean place. Then we will report what happened in Field Town to the school." Captain Linden summoned everyone and revealed between his eyebrows.
The looming tiredness emerged.
After a night of nightmare situations, everyone will feel tired, even the captain.
The spirits of the rest of the expedition team were also under high pressure, and with no time to rest all night, they were already approaching their limit.
This expedition encountered such horrific events at the beginning that some people who could not bear it even wanted to return to Miskatonic.
"How about we go back to school and renovate before starting?" Some people tentatively put forward suggestions.
"No……"
Captain Linden sighed deeply, "We are pressed for time now. It will take a lot of time to go back to school to organize and set off. This mission is very important. We must race against time."
"And, aren't we very lucky? After such a horrific incident, everyone was unscathed."
"Who can guarantee that we will be so lucky in the future..."
"This is all thanks to that giant! That great Lord Tiga!"
There are all kinds of different voices in the team.
Captain Lyndon had a headache.
Not all the veteran members of the expedition have encountered life-and-death situations, and not all of them have encountered pagans and beings beyond human imagination.
Compared with the three scholars who just joined, some people have only experienced two or three insignificant rookies.
Even if these people are mentally tough people selected by Captain Linden and the school. After personally experiencing the horror of last night, no matter how tough the spirit is, it is impossible not to be affected. As a result, some
The feeling of withdrawal is not incomprehensible.
But time waits for no one.
It has been quite some time since the last expedition disappeared, and they must find them.
Captain Linden didn’t know what the specific mission of the last expedition was. At that time, he happened to be on vacation after a mission and did not join that expedition. But he could vaguely figure it out just from the staffing of the previous one.
I realized that their task was definitely not simple.
As far as he knew, many of the outstanding Miskatonic University investigators had participated in the previous expedition, including Ellis's mentor, history expert, and tenured professor at the University of Michigan, Douglas
PhD.
They also brought many special props, and the University of Michigan even applied for a military-grade ship specifically for them.
Just from the little information revealed, we know that the mission they performed is definitely not simple. Captain Linden still doesn’t know what the previous team faced. Although he cares about himself, the people in that team
Old friends, but they haven't sent any news since the ship set off.
Linden was very worried about what was going on over there, because on the vast sea, any kind of accident was possible.
It wasn't until a few days ago that the principal suddenly found him and asked him to form a new expedition team to find the missing team. At that time, he didn't know that the team had finally disappeared.
Lyndon wanted to know what exactly they had encountered.
The strange thing is that the principal didn't say anything. He just asked him to reorganize the team and continue to carry out the unfinished task last time. As for the specific content, the principal did not clearly explain it, but only gave a final destination.
This move can be said to be very strange.
Because normally if someone goes missing at sea, a rescue team should be dispatched to search. That is a whole ship, so it is impossible to suddenly lose any contact.
Moreover, no specific mission information was revealed, only that they arrive at a certain location, and there was no additional information at all.
as well as……
Captain Linden glanced at the ancient research expert standing not far away.
The person the principal suddenly intervened in didn't seem to be that simple.
"If anyone wants to go back, please exit now."
Captain Linden looked around and said in a deep voice, "What we will face next may be even more dangerous. If you can't accept it, then quit now."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all seemed hesitant.
"I will not quit." As expected, Ms. Ellis took the lead in saying, "I am going to find my mentor."
Others also responded.
Only three people chose to go back, and they were the three people who were almost trampled to death by the huge terrifying being. The impact they encountered almost caused them to have a mental breakdown.
Captain Linden also expressed his understanding.
But tonight, the ordinary geologist who encountered such a desperate situation for the first time and realized the horror of the world chose to stay. He expressed with great interest that he wanted to see more wonderful worlds.
As for Wilson, of course he chose to stay. He was very concerned about the shadow that seemed to be Qijela.
After a brief rest, everyone except the three people who left got in the car again.
"We have to continue setting off. The port in Field Town is no longer available." Captain Linden revealed the next plan, "We will go to Boston and take the ferry to the Pacific Ocean."
The sun was shining brightly, and the bumpy small bus kicked up a bunch of dust on the simple road. The truck followed it, and the mysterious object loaded on it was tightly sealed again.
Vehicles drove by, leaving only shallow ruts, gradually drifting away.
