Chapter 676: Ill Tidings
Even with us helping to clean out the bridge, there were still a good number of zombies left. Northern Waters Bridge was a landmark in the city. Naturally, it was packed to the brim before the virus. It still was, but just with zombies. Zombies who werent cooperating with us in this clean up.
After that battle with the scorpion-tailed skeletons, the police officers were all worn out. 8931s idea was to call for backup, but just as he tried to do so, he received shocking news instead. HQ had just been assaulted! His next thought was to rush to its aid, but barely a minute later, he received news of the Police Chiefs untimely demise
What!? The entire police headquarters is gone?!
When I was told this news by him, I nearly jumped out of my skin. That was the main base of the police force we were talking about! Other than being guarded by exosuits, they also had mobile armors stationed there. In the confines of this city, there was basically no other area that was as well-defended. And for such a secure location to just be destroyed like that Crap
Whos left now? The army? Thats right, it has to be the army
Leader, I want to return to HQ to have a look! 3739 made the request, however he was quickly rejected.
No, I forbid it. With his dying breath, the Chief gave the order to protect the civilians We still have a mission to complete, and until its done
But
I know your feelings, but nows not the time. Have you ever considered that if even our HQ can be destroyed so quickly, that means theres a power strong enough to wipe out HQ before the Chief and the others could even react Until we are sure that the enemy is gone, you returning would achieve nothing In fact, you would have played right into their very hands.
As if those zombies are even worth fearing! 3739 roared in defiance. I can take care of them myself!
In other words, the ones who destroyed HQ werent even zombies 8931 answered in a calm voice that was almost spine-chilling. Think about it, those scorpion-tailed Scorpid skeletons you just fought were resurrected by that mysterious foe. If they have the ability to reanimate a pile of bones Do you honestly think that there are only Scorpid specimens kept in the city? If Im not mistaken, our local museum even has a complete skeleton of a Mammuthus in its collection thats a Disaster-class right there. There are plenty of rich people who keep Primal beast skeletons in their collections as well. Theres a high chance those were reanimated as well.
Even so
Illegally, then?
Perhaps, but theres no harm in trying. And even if you bump into soldiers, you guys could just stay under their protection. 8931 laid out his reasoning, though that first bit was probably enough to get him fired.
I gave it some thought, then came to the same conclusion. Yet just when I was about to thank him for his advice, the skies suddenly darkened
Rather, it turned green
In what looked like the northeastern direction, an eerie fog started surfacing over the horizon, blotting out the sun in a green pall. Because of our distance to the source, all I could see were those clouds. Even so
Trouble- something must have happened over there!
Soon after, the skies were filled with horrific wails. The dead were crying. Struggling, even. But no matter how much they tried, a mysterious force seemed to be dragging them towards the northeast.
As more souls started flying away, the green fog only grew thicker
Oh no! Thats the direction the army was supposed to enter the city Dont tell me I could hear 8931s voice quivering at that point. The fear was palpable even from my standpoint.
Are you saying the army is under attack? I immediately asked, shocked just as much as he was. Thats where the army is located?
Impossible how could they even have the power to defeat the army they have mobile armors with them 8931s eyes were wide with disbelief, but all the clues led to one disturbing conclusion.
Big brother Qiaoqiao can hear some strange sounds Qiaoqiao shuffled up to me, clearly spooked by what was going on.
