Chapter 102 The city that disappeared out of thin air
Enid was extremely lucky that the hotel she chose was located on a high ground in the city center. Not only did it not completely disappear with the other half of the city, but it also had room for buffering when the seawater came in.
However, Nilaco City was still unsafe, and no one knew what would happen next. Enid did not dare to stay here for a long time, and quickly fled away from the sea.
She was lucky enough to find a family willing to give her a ride on the way.
The man driving the car was the man in the family. Behind him, his wife was holding their two children, a son and a daughter, and kept comforting them.
After Enid got in the car, the man kept complaining.
"What a hell. Half of the city is just gone. If our whole family hadn't come to watch a movie tonight, we would all be dead!"
After the woman comforted the child, she said to the man: "But what about our house?"
"What kind of house are you thinking about now? If you save your life, you'll be lucky! Let's go to the nearby town of Vento to find my parents and live with them for a while. We'll talk about what to do next."
After talking to his wife about future arrangements, the man said to Enid: "Madam, we are going to the town of Vento in the east next. Are you going to follow us there first, or do you have other plans?"
Enid thought for a moment, and finally said with a smile: "I'll go to Vento Town first. I don't know what else will happen here. It's really troublesome for you."
Enid had originally booked a flight for tomorrow and would fly directly to Bricka City, but the current situation may not allow her to leave immediately.
She subconsciously felt that this disaster was not simple, and Enid planned to stay in Vento Town to see the situation.
"It's nothing, it's just a casual thing. By the way, are you here to visit Nilaco?"
Enid nodded: "Yes."
"That's unlucky enough to encounter this kind of thing while traveling. Tell me, I've seen some earthquakes on TV news, but it's not like today. Madam, you don't know, I drove the car properly
The car suddenly shook. I was startled and quickly stepped on the brakes. When the shaking subsided, I drove forward for a short distance and found that the road in the distance was cut off. No, it was not cut off.
, a large area of the city in front of me disappeared, and I was so frightened that I quickly turned around and ran away. Really, that was definitely not an earthquake!"
Enid was also thinking about what had just happened. After hearing what the man driving the car said, she asked, "Didn't you see anything else at that time? It was just a shaking, and the city was gone?"
"No, I happened to drive to Wolei East-West Avenue at that time. That road goes straight to the seaside. In just a short time, half of the city on the seaside was gone! Isn't that right, wife?"
The woman sitting in the back seat also said: "Yes, I remember that I happened to pass by Anfei Elf Clothing at that time. It is on Wallai East-West Avenue."
"You women remember these things."
The couple started talking about their future plans again, but Enid was thinking about what they said. She was taking a shower at the time and didn't know what was going on outside. When such a big thing happened, there must be some signs and symptoms.
.
But she didn't expect that even the people driving outside didn't notice anything special.
In other words, that half of the city almost disappeared out of thin air.
"This is too strange."
Enid was in deep doubt.
Also full of doubts was Aleg.
During the day, Aleg broke up with people from the three countries of Coti. After reporting to the headquarters, he left Nilaco by helicopter in the evening, preparing to go to the base of the World Parliament in the neighboring country.
, and then return to the headquarters from there.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the base at night, he learned about what happened to Nilaco. The superiors also issued orders again, requiring him to return to the headquarters immediately, and the people from the base went to Nilaco to conduct investigation and rescue work.
"No!" Aleg objected, "I have to go to Nilaco! This disaster is definitely not an ordinary thing. All the people from the three countries of Coti are at the embassy!"
"Sir Aleg, according to the information we got, the embassy happens to be in the missing half of the city. I'm afraid the people in Coti have... disappeared." The person on the other end of the phone doesn't know about the missing city.
What happened? The only way to describe those people is as missing.
But everyone can imagine that they may be in danger.
But Aleg said: "I don't care about those idiots. I just want to know where the cultural relics hidden by them are! What happened this time is definitely not a natural disaster!"
The tone of the person on the other end of the phone suddenly became serious: "Sir Aleg, do you mean that this is man-made?"
"I don't know if it was done by humans, but it is definitely related to those cultural relics and undersea ruins. Wait, damn, I understand. Those people in Koti must have hidden the cultural relics in the embassy. Now those things
I’m afraid they’re all gone!”
"Wait a minute, Chief Aleg, please re-report what you know!"
Aleg sighed and said in a heavy tone: "I will rush back to the headquarters overnight and report to you face to face. Anyway, there is no need to look for those cultural relics. I'm afraid we must disclose some things to the outside world."
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally said: "You come back first and then talk."
The call was then hung up.
Aleg rubbed his eyes. He asked his subordinates to bring over the materials related to the case of the archaeological team's death. He picked out the cultural relic records and kept looking at them.
He now has a lot of guesses in his mind, but also a lot of questions.
First of all, these cultural relics definitely have a lot of secrets. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring any researchers with me when I came here, so they were in the hands of the three countries of Coti for most of the time. The people of Coti must have discovered something from these things, so
That's why they were hidden.
"The cultural relic, no, to be precise, it should be the undersea ruins represented behind the cultural relic. There must be something there that makes them so excited that they are willing to offend our World Parliament. But now, there is something, they don't want the three countries of Koti to discover that ruins,
Or he wanted to master the secret of the ruins, so he destroyed Nilaco. Is that possible?" Aleg murmured to himself.
After contacting the members of the archaeological team who disappeared and died mysteriously in the case, Aleg vaguely made such a guess.
"The question is, are there really such powerful people? Also, what role does the armored monster play in this?"
On the plane back to the headquarters, Aleg had one guess after another in his mind, but none of them could be confirmed.
He had already made up his mind that he must explain this case to the headquarters. He would never mindlessly blame the armored weirdo again and then just pretend that nothing happened just because he couldn't be caught!
