Chapter 579 The Silent World
The clear sky is as crystal clear as sapphire, without any impurities. A few thin white clouds are floating below, floating lightly with the wind, and projected onto the vast lake. above, adding the color of floating clouds to the calm blue waves.
There are criss-crossing pedestrian trails, tourist boardwalks, and sightseeing bridges around the lake. Lush flowers and trees are planted on both sides. The sunlight penetrates through the layers of branches and leaves, leaving sparkling spots on the ground, and the breeze blows freely. The lake passed by, picking up the fallen leaves on the shore and flying towards the rows of tall buildings in the distance.
In this reinforced concrete forest, there is such a beautiful and vast lake park, which is definitely a good place for leisure and entertainment. The nearby residents should enjoy the shade under the trees, walk in the forest, and enjoy the lake. It was a good place to play while enjoying the scenery, but now I looked around and saw that the lakeside under the sun was actually empty.
Plank roads, bridges, and cruise ships are covered with dead branches and leaves; benches, stone tables, and railings are covered with paper bags and plastics; the weeds in the flower beds are so lush that there are almost no flowers in sight. The glass lampshade on the top of the rusty street light pole was shattered, and the exposed light bulb was covered with thick dust everywhere, but there were no footprints.
Everything seemed extremely empty, everything seemed extremely dilapidated, everything seemed like this urban lake park surrounded by high-rise buildings had not been visited for a long time, and no one had cleaned or maintained it for a long time.
The surroundings are so quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing. You can’t hear the whistles of cars, the noise of people passing by, or the horns of screens on the street.
I don’t know. How long had passed before a 'Boom!' came from the distance! Boom! ’ The ground trembled slightly with the heavy footsteps, and the calm lake water rippled. As the footsteps got closer and closer, the fluctuations in the water surface became larger and larger, almost developing into raging waves.
When the dead branches and leaves on the plank road started to beat, the footsteps were already loud as thunder, and a huge blue-gray head appeared on the treetops, with a sickle-shaped horn on top, walking forward. While looking around, he scanned the surroundings with his huge eyes, walking slowly and leisurely, as if he was patrolling the territory, and seemed to be looking for something.
But no matter how slow you walk, the sixty-meter-tall body can cover a long distance with every step it takes. It gradually walks farther away step by step, and finally disappears among the dense high-rise buildings, until the heavy footsteps No sound could be heard. A pile of ordinary fallen leaves suddenly rose up, and a long-haired girl wearing something like a ghillie suit emerged from it. She whispered into the headset: "The monster has passed. Start taking action immediately. The time limit is ten." Five minutes.”
"Understood!" A very inconsistent reply came from the headset. Immediately afterwards, several pickup trucks sprang out of the forest and drove on the empty streets, bypassing the cars parked on the road and the people on the road. A huge footprint arrived in front of a large supermarket.
The pickup truck almost rushed into the supermarket. It tried to get as close to the supermarket as possible. Then more than ten people jumped out of the truck and rushed into the supermarket like burning buttocks. They moved all the items on the shelves. Started today’s zero dollar shopping.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the girl in charge of vigilance became more and more anxious. From time to time, she looked at her watch and the vibration detector in her hand. Every fluctuation on the display screen would Let her heart beat a little, for fear that the curve would suddenly rise, because that would mean that the monster was coming and would probably wipe out the entire transport team.
But thankfully, until the end of this zero-yuan purchase, no accidents happened. I successfully received a large amount of supplies, and everyone evacuated, and also ran out and jumped on the pickup truck. , immediately started the car and drove in the direction from which it came.
After all the cars left the empty streets, a new command came from the headset: "The security squad evacuates."
"Understood!" The cute-looking girl breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately carefully put the instrument in her hand into a backpack padded with several layers of clothes as a buffer, and then ran in the direction she came from. After only a few steps, He stopped and turned to look to the left. There seemed to be something on the grass.
"Who is where?" The girl said in a low voice, acting very timidly, like a frightened little rabbit, ready to escape at any time. Her voice was transmitted to other people through the headset, causing the correspondent to ask hurriedly: "Risa, what's wrong?"
"There seems to be someone!" The name was Risa. The girl walked over cautiously, stretched her neck and looked towards He walked into the thick grass and said: "There is indeed someone, but he seems to be in a coma due to injury. Captain, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, we are running out of time. Leave there as planned." Headset A girl's voice sounded very heroic.
Risa bit her lip, looked at the pale boy, and said hesitantly: "But..."
"Don't be but, be careful, it's a trap." Finally, a very dignified female voice sounded: " You leave first, I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay. "Yes!" Risa nodded, strode towards a sewer entrance where the manhole cover had been moved aside, and went down the escalator to the bottom. Not long after, two men wearing clothes with EDF lettering and names on them appeared. The woman in combat uniform ran over along the sewer where two people could walk side by side.
Risa's nervous little face showed a smile, and she lowered her voice and shouted: "Captain, vice-captain, here, here!"
The woman with the name Anna on her clothes looked at When Risa was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a straight face: "Didn't I tell you before we set off? No matter what happens, we must evacuate according to the original plan."
Risa whispered: "But that's a person."
"Did you forget what I told you?" Vice-captain Sawa also scolded in a low voice, making Risa couldn't help but lower her head.
"Okay, let's go up and have a look. Risa, just stand here and don't move." Captain Anna said and climbed up first. After making sure there was no movement, she asked the deputy captain to follow, leaving only Risa. Sha waited in place, staring intently at the entrance to the sewer.
Soon, there was movement there. The two of them carefully lowered the man Risa had just seen by his arm, and the last man who came down covered the manhole cover.
There was no time to check what kind of injuries the man suffered. The three of them took over to support the unconscious young man and walked in the direction from where they came. They quickly disappeared and restored peace to the place. , and it wasn't until two minutes later that 'Boom! Boom! ’ The heavy footsteps broke the tranquility and told all survivors that the monster was patrolling this place again, so be careful to avoid it!
