At the moment when the reality anchor was turned on, although all psychics felt the sense of sluggishness, it was obvious that the ominous sulfurous smell was instantly dissipated, and the fresh air restored refreshed everyone's spirits.
At the same time, with the establishment of the reality anchor, the last task force in North America, the Sixth Task Force, finally took action. They gathered everyone in the underground headquarters together, and they began to investigate room by room. Explore every dormitory and every laboratory.
Half an hour later, when all the task force members gathered near the reality anchor again, everyone looked at each other blankly, looking at a loss.
"No targets found..."
The captain of the Sixth Task Force reported to the temporary person in charge, "We have checked every location in the base, but we have found no abnormalities, let alone the octopus-like dream monster that Detective Sean said."
Seeing this scene, everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly.
If even the reality anchor cannot make the enemy visible, then the problem becomes even more difficult...
"Maybe the monster saw us coming and ran away."
Walter, the youngest, spoke up, but looking at his expression, he felt a sense of gloating for some reason.
"Shut up!"
Team leader Alex's expression was extremely solemn at this time. He shouted low, stopped this subordinate who was causing him a headache, and then said to everyone, "Maybe those dream monsters have left, but we are not the only ones. The dispatched personnel and two teams set out with us, and now they may have completed their own tasks."
In addition to Alex's team, Blacklight Technology also sent two other teams. One of them went to the secret base where the psyker boy is now detained. The base is located in the desert. The superiors thought that even if there was an accident here, , also within the acceptable range.
The other team was sent to Detroit. That team would set up a reality anchor near the orphanage and cooperate with the special forces to investigate the monsters still lingering in reality.
"I hope so..."
At this time, the temporary person in charge's face became paler for some reason, and even had a corpse-like color on his face. However, this scene was obscured by everyone's panic. He looked at the assistant aside, " Pass this news on, and at the same time, the Sixth Task Force continues to search, making sure to search every corner of the headquarters!"
However, just ten minutes after the new round of search, they received desperate news—no matter whether it was the desert base where the psyker boy was detained or the orphanage where the psyker boy originally lived in Detroit, there was no one there. Spot any monster's shadow.
In other words, the situation that everyone least wants to see has occurred. The reality anchor is ineffective!
"In that case, let's take the second option."
Alex, who was guarding the reality anchor, walked up to the temporary person in charge. He looked at the other person strangely, but still said, "We have received orders from above. If the first plan fails, then tonight we will I will stay here and continue to turn on the reality anchor to see if there will be more deaths when the reality anchor is turned on."
"Really, that's great!"
Hearing this, the temporary person in charge slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He subconsciously wiped his forehead, as if he wanted to wipe away the cold sweat on his head, but Alex keenly noticed that there was no sweat on the other person's forehead.
After everyone dispersed, Alex returned to the team thoughtfully.
"Boss, have you noticed the face of this temporary person in charge..."
One of the team members, Alex, whispered in front of him, "It's as gray as a dead person. If he hadn't been able to talk, I would have been standing in front of a corpse."
"The situation here is indeed a bit strange."
Alex nodded, "I will report all this to the superiors. What we have to do now is to be careful and wait and see what happens."
…
"Cough cough cough..."
When the group of people arrived, Sean suddenly felt an invisible wave enveloped him, giving him an inexplicable sense of suffocation.
At this time, he was still in the foundation's North American headquarters. Because a large number of casualties occurred last night, he was not asked to leave, but continued to assist in handling the case.
"my body… "
Sean huddled in his lounge, gasping for air after not drinking water for four or five days. He could feel the strength in his body losing little by little, as if there was a bottomless pit in his body, making him breathless. .
After an unknown amount of time, Sean relaxed slightly. He exhaled and stood up, staggering to the bathroom, but when he saw himself in the mirror, he was startled.
In the mirror in front of him, he saw that his face was as gray as a corpse, and even his cheeks were slightly sunken. He was like a malnourished anorexic patient, and his whole temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"There must be something wrong with my body..."
Sean understood that this situation was no longer a small problem. His body was undergoing some unknown changes. However, when he wanted to ask for help from the outside world, there was some faint resistance deep in his heart. feel.
There seemed to be a voice warning him that his current situation must not be known to the outside world. This kind of contradiction and entanglement continued to linger deep in his heart, making him terrified.
"It's almost done, it's almost done..."
Suddenly, such a strange thought flashed through his mind, and then Sean's expression changed. He suddenly looked around with a look of horror, "Who is it? Who is talking!"
"Come out! Sneaky, come out quickly!"
Sean roared like crazy, his voice echoing in the small bathroom, depressing and dull.
Just when he was about to collapse emotionally, he unconsciously looked at the mirror again, but just by looking at it, he was shocked, as if his body had been struck by lightning!
The world in the mirror suddenly became extremely dark. A faint yellow mist surged, covering his shadow. In the mist, Sean's shadow was standing there quietly, and there was no trace of it. Sean reacted in the same way.
"W-who are you?"
Sean gasped, and he got closer to the mirror, and at the same time stretched out his hand to reach forward, but the moment his right hand touched the mirror, the faint yellow mist dissipated again, revealing his clear image inside.
"Hallucination?"
Sean's eyes widened and he stared silently at the mirror, but he suddenly showed a strange smile in the mirror, and at the same time, his abdomen began to swell little by little.
Sean looked at his abdomen in the mirror with dull eyes, and saw tentacles slowly stretching out from his belly button. They were octopus-like arms and legs, and they were gray-white in color. Dense barbs…
One stick, two sticks, three sticks...
"Ahhhh..."
In the bathroom, Sean let out a heartbreaking scream...
…
Tap tap tap…
Late at night, there was a sound of rapid footsteps approaching from far away. The five task force soldiers guarding the reality anchor looked at each other and secretly clenched the firearms in their hands.
boom!
The door was knocked open in an instant, and a man with a pale face and no blood rushed in, shouting at everyone, "It's death! A new death has appeared!"
"What?"
Alex's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Who died? Have you found any enemies?"
"Many people died, even the person in charge died!"
The man yelled, "An emergency order has also been sent from above, ordering you to immediately evacuate the headquarters with the reality anchor!"
Alex frowned when he heard this. He was still a little hesitant, because according to the information given by Black Light Technology, he had to stick to it.
"Quick, our people can't resist it anymore!"
Seeing that Alex was still hesitant, the man suddenly looked anxious, "Leave quickly, the anchor of reality cannot be lost!"
Hearing this, Alex finally gritted his teeth. He suddenly turned around and looked behind him, "Walter, Richard, you close the reality anchor immediately, and we leave with the core inside!"
After hearing the team leader's order, the other four personnel hurriedly stepped forward and began to operate on the reality stabilizing anchor. Within a few seconds, the reality stabilizing anchor was directly closed, and at the same time, a fist-sized, orange crystal appeared all over the body. The gem was taken out, and the five people immediately walked out of the gate.
At this time, there were piercing sirens outside the gate, and the faint sound of messy firearms could be heard. Men in white coats fled in all directions, scrambling towards the exit.
As the reality stabilizing anchor was closed, the five people also regained their psychic powers instantly. Alex just waved his hand, and a researcher in a white coat was directly sucked into his palm. He grabbed the researcher who was running away with his head in his hands, and said sternly Asked, "What happened, where is Task Force 6?"
"They are fighting unknown creatures in the back hall!"
The researcher cried in a low voice, "Monsters... There are monsters in all directions. They can't see with their eyes at all. The casualties of the task force are so serious that they can no longer withstand it. Hurry, let me go!"
After hearing this, Alex let go of his hand and allowed the other party to escape towards the elevator.
"Boss, we..."
Walter stepped forward, his immature face a little eager to try.
"Don't be brave and don't forget our mission."
Alex frowned. He looked at the location of the gunshot behind him, and then said, "Let's go, let's get out of here first!"
As he spoke, he walked in the direction of the researcher's escape without looking back.
Everyone had to follow quickly.
A few minutes later, more and more researchers were fleeing around him. As Alex kicked open the last door, the hall of the foundation headquarters suddenly came into view. Hundreds of researchers gathered here, and they gathered in the only building. In front of an elevator exit, there was constant quarreling and tearing, and the scene was in chaos.
"Walt."
Seeing this, Alex's eyes flashed coldly, "Clear the way!"
Upon hearing the team leader's order, the young man named Walter's eyes suddenly lit up. He directly raised the pulse rifle in his hand and swept it towards the ceiling, making a buzzing sound!
Suddenly, countless metal shards and shrapnel from the ceiling fell on the crowd, causing bursts of screams!
"Wow!"
The crowd subconsciously held their heads and ran away, causing the originally chaotic scene to freeze in an instant!
"Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way!"
Walter shouted loudly, and then he pushed hard, knocking over a researcher next to him, and then he strode toward the platform.
Everyone quickly followed.
With the help of violence, the five people successfully arrived at the elevator platform. At this time, more than 30 people had gathered in the elevator platform. These people were crowded together like cans. The people inside tried their best to close the elevator door, but outside the door, But they still don't want the elevator door to close. If this situation continues, no one on both sides will be able to leave here...
Seeing this scene, Walter sneered and pointed his gun at everyone in the elevator, "Are you going to come out on your own or should I invite you to come out?"
"We're not coming out!"
The people inside suddenly became noisy, "Let us go up first, you wait for the next batch!"
"Oh shit!"
A fierce light suddenly flashed in Walter's eyes, and he was ready to open fire again to intimidate everyone.
"Walter!"
However, Alex noticed what he was doing. He stretched out his right hand and made a gentle move to dozens of people in the elevator. In an instant, an invisible suction force was generated, and everyone felt that he was completely in control. Unable to control his body, he swarmed toward the outside world like a swarm of worms!
"Ahh!!!"
There was another burst of noise and foul language from the crowd, but their bodies still left the ground uncontrollably, and poured out of the lifting platform like a swarm of swarms!
Seeing this, the five people immediately walked in. After they entered, the group wanted to rush in, but they were stopped by Walter's gun.
"You guys wait for the next one!"
Walter decisively pressed the closing button of the elevator door. The elevator door quickly closed under everyone's desperate eyes, and then immediately rose towards the ground!
On the surface, in a farm house, the dining table made of alloy slowly opened, revealing a deep, dark cavity at the bottom. But the next second, the light lit up in the cavity, and a platform rose out of the surface. At the same time, five people in full armor appeared together. Armed, tough-tempered task force soldiers.
"Out!"
There was a shout outside the door, and the five people subconsciously raised their guns, but they saw a few guards dressed as farmers approaching. They quickly raised their hands when they saw everyone raising their guns.
"A new round of casualties is still happening below, and it's more serious than the previous ones. You call for reinforcements immediately!"
Alex suppressed the pulse rifles raised by everyone, and then ordered everyone, "Where is our car? We need to get out of here now!"
"Your car..."
A farmer looked behind him hesitantly, but at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled, interrupting his blurted words.
As if he felt something, Alex's expression suddenly changed, and he yelled without thinking, "Run!"
Everyone ran away from the room without thinking!
However, just as they escaped from the farmhouse, the ground where they were suddenly shook! Faintly, a distant roar came from the ground!
"Buzz!"
