Chapter 120 [Devouring the Shadow of the World (2)]
Huayang Road is separated by a film.
Well-trained soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms quickly installed high explosives.
Wait until they retreat to a safe distance and then detonate it immediately.
"boom!!"
The huge explosion made people's eardrums buzz.
The flames shot up into the sky and even scorched the hair on many people's faces.
After the smoke and dust cleared, a group of people fell into silence looking at the unharmed black film.
Thermal weapons also have no effect?
In the scavenger conference room, the deputy minister pushed up the special glasses on his nose again.
"We can only place our hopes on the Energy Research Laboratory. I hope those scientists can solve this big trouble."
The bespectacled man's words made most people present recall some very unfriendly memories.
I vaguely remember the 'tragic situation' when I and others were deceived into doing experiments when I was still a newbie.
Although they have received a lot of money, if you give them a chance, you will never believe what the researchers say!
Soon, several specially-made SUVs arrived at Huayang Road carrying several people in white coats.
There are also four strange people following them, responsible for protecting safety.
After all, the nights in the Magic City are not very peaceful.
More than a dozen soldiers unloaded various strange instruments from the vehicle, and then everyone could only stand aside, quietly waiting for the inspection results from the energy laboratory.
After half an hour passed, a man in a white coat walked towards Lei Yang and others.
"The preliminary test result is that mental power has materialized. I don't need to say more about this. As strange people, you must understand it very well. Mental power is not very powerful at the beginning, but as your strength improves, it will
Exploding unparalleled power.
Unless our attacks can surpass the substantial mental shield, any attacks will be ineffective. You can also give it a try and attack continuously. If you add up little by little, I believe you can break through."
The answer given by the researchers at the Energy Research Laboratory is not much different.
If we can achieve the two points you mentioned, shall we invite you over?
"Wait, you said this is a protective shield?"
"Yes, through various data analysis, it is found that its function is to protect. And have you noticed that those black substances are constantly flowing, and they seem to want to rush out. They are just helpless due to the substantial mental power."
Lei Yang and Captain Su looked at each other and said yes!
You have said so, and we are even more afraid to try to break it.
If something ferocious and unsolvable is released, I'm afraid I will become a sinner in the devil's capital!
Over there in the conference room, it felt even more fucked up.
On the one hand, the lives of the people on Huayang Road are safe, and on the other hand, the safety of the Magic City is in danger. How do you choose?
Whichever one you choose is right, but it is also wrong.
The deputy minister of spectacles only felt that a big scapegoat had fallen from the sky.
It seems that my career as a scavenger and deputy minister is about to come to an end.
Unless, he can do both.
"001, the closed room connected to the person in the underworld, I want to talk to him."
[Intelligent system No. 001 is at your service. Identity is being confirmed... Confirmation is issued through... The command is issued by Deputy Minister Roger of Scavenger... Confirming authority....
..A-level permission passed...Can you please confirm and talk to Tang En from File No. 10?]
"Confirm." The man with glasses twitched his eyelids. With such a slow speed and rigid and inflexible procedures, you still have the nerve to call yourself an intelligent system? The energy research laboratory actually produces some shameless things.
In the center of the conference room, a projection screen suddenly appeared, showing an image in the room.
I saw a strong man whose figure could be compared to that of the international superstar Schwarzenegger, working out.
Of course it was said to be fitness, but in fact he was carrying the bed frame and doing squats constantly.
The dense sweat on his forehead indicated that he had been exercising for a long time.
"Hello, Tang En. I am the scavenger of the Magic City, Deputy Minister Roger. Now we have encountered some troubles. I hope you can help us."
The strong man in the room looked at the sudden projection and didn't shout in surprise like the first time.
The top linguist who was on call 24 hours a day quickly translated Roger's words and transmitted them to Tang En's ears through the loudspeaker.
"OK."
A line of subtitles appeared on the conference room screen.
For convenience, their scavengers are also equipped with special subtitlers to facilitate better communication between the two parties.
"Do you know what this is?"
Deputy Minister Roger didn't waste any time and directly passed the pictures taken by Lei Yang and others to this strong man who had descended from the underworld.
When Tang En saw the black substance, his pupils shrank significantly.
There is a door!
When Roger saw it, he punched hard in his heart.
It seems that I don’t need to go to the logistics department to support myself for the time being.
"This thing is very scary. The village chief calls it the shadow that devours the world."
"The shadow that swallows the world?"
"Yes, you must remember one thing in Youshi. You must return to the village or the city before dark. Even if you cannot return to the village in time due to irresistible reasons.
Then you must set up a bonfire to ensure that it will not go out in the long night. Once the flame disappears, terrible things will happen."
Speaking of this, Tang En's eyes revealed endless fear.
This strong man with broken bones all over his body never even hummed under the treatment of medical staff.
It's hard to imagine that he would be afraid of the so-called shadow that devours the world.
"I advise you not to act rashly and try to attack that membrane. If it breaks and causes the world-devouring shadow to spread, believe me you will regret it. Wait until dawn, under the sunshine, they will evaporate."
"But there are a lot of people trapped inside and we have to..."
Before Roger could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an excited Tang En.
"Then sacrifice them!"
"impossible."
"Listen to me, the shadow that swallows the world is quite terrifying. Even the high-ranking figures in the Netherworld can't erase it. At best, they can protect themselves in the shadows. This thing will decompose the body of the creature, then reorganize it, and give birth to it.
weird.
Once the world-devouring shadow breaks out in your world, believe me you will not be able to stop it. At that time, except for human gathering places, everywhere will be filled with cruel, vicious, crazy and bloody weirdness."
In Tang En's hometown, Youshi, everyone lives in misery and precarious life.
No one dares to leave the village after the sun sets unless they are determined to die.
To be honest, although he himself was imprisoned by the scavenger organization and strictly guarded, his freedom was restricted.
But he was very happy. This was the happiest day in his life.
Because, there is no danger!
Not only can I be full, but I can also eat well!
What is this? This is a day that even a god would not change.
Tang En can lie comfortably on the soft big bed every day and have a peaceful sleep.
This is a life he has never enjoyed in more than thirty years.
How many years have it been since you slept at night?
Ten years? Twenty years?
I can't remember clearly, and people have become numb.
reason?
Without him, who would call him a member of the night patrol team in the village!!
