Prism City Entrance Plaza. .
There was a continuous roar of machinery here, and a spotlight illuminated the ground like daylight. The rescue work has lasted for nearly 16 hours, guarding the rock face sinking into the water and guarding in the tent of the command center temporarily built, waiting for the final news to be delivered.
Some people say that his heart is like stone and he is not disturbed by emotions at any time, which is actually a misunderstanding. Lan's sacrifice made him very sad, and even secretly blamed himself why he didn't lead the team in person, but he was more aware of the priorities.
After the attack on the No. 04 evacuation well, the 01 and 05 wells also encountered the fallen demons one after another. Fortunately, these people have learned from the previous lessons of the Lan team, and only paid a small price to eliminate all the attackers. However, the results of the statistics still make Panshi feel powerless. Everything is the same as what happened in Well 04. The enemies are all members of the association at the bottom. So far, more than 320 corpses have been identified, which are almost close to those of the person on duty that day. total.
Up to now, the complete destruction of the lower layers is a predictable result.
He didn't know why these people chose to integrate with the fallen core within a few hours after the disaster. Prism City has a complete emergency system, and even if the supply with the upper layer is interrupted, it is enough to last for a while. They should know that the Association will never give up any of the trapped people easily. As long as all the evacuation wells are not destroyed at the same time, it will not take long for them to see the light of day again.
But the rock has no intention to guess what happened at that time. He just wants to know what the current situation of the central storage warehouse is. Even if all the people on duty have become demon fallen, there are only three hundred or so, which can be stored in the warehouse. There are as many as 3,000 cores, which is several times more important than his life. If it were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Mr. Rock," at this moment, a man in a suit walked into the temporary command center and whispered a few words in his ear.
"You're so unlucky?" Rock couldn't help frowning. According to the feedback from the search and rescue team, when the erosion suddenly expanded, there were two martial arts sightseeing teams from the Kagade Peninsula in Prism City. The engulfment of the mid-section support caused structural damage to the city vertebra, causing the entire floor of the floor closest to the erosion to slide into the flat cavity, but the two teams were near the collapse.
Judging from the current rescue situation, the fate of this group of people may not be optimistic.
"What should I do?" The man in the suit said with a look of embarrassment. "There is also a star martial artist from Kajade in one of the teams. If it is handled improperly, it may cause a diplomatic crisis."
"Search as much as possible. If one can save one, what else can we do? This is not something we can control."
"But according to the short personality of the guardian over there, you may not necessarily appreciate it..."
The rock was silent for a moment, "I know, let's hide this matter first, and I will ask the president of Yunxiao City to coordinate."
The man in the suit had just left when a liaison officer suddenly shouted.
"There is new news in Well 01! They have cleared the blocked part of the pipeline and are entering the interior of the city vertebra!"
"Connect the signal to the main screen." Rock said solemnly.
"clear!"
After a flash of snowflake noise, an image from the front line appeared on the main screen, and the shaky footage should have come from the leader's head-mounted camera. The lighting below the city vertebra is good, but the lights flicker a little. Obviously, the emergency motor is still working. From this, it is inferred that transportation devices such as elevators must also be used normally, which can save a lot of time for rescue work.
But no one in the command post cheered, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the abrupt "red spot" on the screen. Its outline is irregular, but it is perfectly embedded between the reinforced concrete, as if a piece was deliberately made like this. Asymmetrical artwork in general.
But Rock knows that it's not a coincidence. Anything that comes in contact with erosion will be swallowed up without exception, even by the force of nature.
It was what turned Prism City into two parts split up and down.
"Don't worry about the damage to the headquarters," he ordered. "Go to the ground floor immediately. I want to make sure that the central containment warehouse is safe and sound."
The rescue team was instructed to walk all the way down, but they didn't encounter any enemies again, but the rock also didn't see too many traces of fighting, it was quiet everywhere, and the decorations still maintained an orderly appearance, just like here It's not the place where the disaster happened, but the general one that was deliberately abandoned.
When the team arrived at the door of the storage vault, there was a gasp of breath in the temporary command post.
Even Rock couldn't help clenching his teeth.
I saw another corpse guarding the angry flames torn in two, the upper body stuck to the steel door with a thickness of dozens of centimeters, and the clothes were almost burned to ashes. A huge hole appeared in the center of the steel door. Judging from the irregular edge, it was forcibly drilled by some kind of high-temperature object.
I am afraid that in order to resist the invaders, Rage Flame used himself as the last barrier, but unfortunately, even so, it could not prevent the enemy from entering the storage vault.
This is definitely not something that a fallen demon can do.
After the team spent a lot of time opening the vault door, the area where the corrupted core was stored was empty.
The command post fell into a dead silence, and everyone looked at the big screen, their eyes seemed to have lost their spirits.
Sure enough... Rock's clenched fist made a clicking sound, and he knew that those people in the lower layers could not accept the fallen core for no reason! "I want to see what kind of monsters these intruders are!"
His thunderous voice exploded in the tent, waking everyone up. The timely switching of the emergency power supply has not affected the entire monitoring system too much. Except for a few probes that are damaged, most of the data are well preserved. The technicians who entered the well were quickly connected to the backup storage hardware, and the video data were continuously transmitted to the ground by the temporarily connected optical cable, and the high-level management in the command post also saw an extremely incredible scene.
When the erosion expanded, several clumps of viscous "blood" dripped from the red hole and hit the floor below. After twisting for a moment, those liquid-like objects turned into human shapes one by one. One of them seemed to have the ability to melt everything, and in a blink of an eye, it burned through the floor and reached the bottom of the city vertebra. There is another monster that is even more terrifying. Almost a martial artist who can control the sound of the sound, turns it into a mindless doll, looking like a low-level demon who was lured by the force of nature.
In less than half an hour, the entire lower layer was declared disintegrated, and the surviving people sluggishly merged with the fallen core and became the enemy's puppets. And after those monsters "swallowed" the remaining cores, they melted a channel directly from the storage warehouse and disappeared into the camera.
It was the first time that Rock had seen such a way of using power, let alone an enemy born from erosion.
He couldn't help but think of the monsters that appeared in the "artificial erosion" mentioned in the survivor's report during the last time the association organized a joint extermination operation.
It seems... the idea that erosion can devour everything is about to change.
At the same time, there may be a need to change the fact that erosion does not distinguish between good and evil. Given the current situation, these monsters that come from the inside of erosion and obviously do not belong to the fallen demons are full of undisguised hostility towards human beings.
However, the rock also knew that no matter how difficult the enemy was, as long as the martial artists worked together, they could always find a way to fight. The most important thing at the moment is inspiration. If the enemy is too strong and fearful, everything will be over.
"Everyone, as you can see, this is not a simple accident, but an invasion that erodes us!" He stood up and said loudly to everyone, "It sounds counterintuitive, but the truth is Let me make it a little clearer before our eyes, this is a war! They have a clear goal and come prepared, just to take our world! I will immediately contact the martial arts associations around the world and gather all my strengths Help Prism City to destroy the enemy!"
Having said this, he paused, "As my disciple Lan said, everyone, the battle of divine will has begun."
