On the third day after the siege of Tidal Wave, Fang You came to Huangdu Base City and lit up the dawn here with his own hands.
Just like a few days ago, the dark clouds and gray fog covering the sky rolled away, and wisps of golden brilliance came through and fell on the earth, glowing with gleaming light.
At the same time, because the light of dawn dissipates and squeezes the gray fog, it is not surprising that it stimulates the evil in the surrounding area.
The wandering evil roars began to gather together, turning into small waves that gradually grew in size and rushed toward the Huangdu base city.
But something is unexpected.
It's not that there's too much evil, it's that... there's too little!
The total number of the several waves together is probably only a few hundred thousand. Compared with the previous estimate of a million, which is actually a huge number of millions, the difference is not a bit different.
Director Huang and other senior officials of the Investigation Bureau breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if the fire is powerful, if you can't go through such a big scene, then don't go through it, it's too scary.
Fang You was disappointed.
Are those millions of ghosts? Wrong! Those are millions of shiny destiny points and ghost crystals!
"It seems that the evil god's minions were indeed under the influence of Shuizhe Base City that time, which greatly increased the scale of the siege wave. Otherwise, it would only have been in the hundreds of thousands."
"Although it's hundreds of thousands, under normal circumstances it's enough to wipe out a base city several times."
As expected, the combat statistics have reduced the benefits a lot.
The explosion rate and mission revenue have been reduced by ten times compared with before. However, the early layout and investment of the Huangdu base city defense line are fixed costs.
Taken together, the returns are extremely low.
Even though the dispatch module gave a lot of extra rewards, the amount of treacherous crystals earned by Xinhuo was almost zero.
Only the accumulated destiny points are left.
"Even so, the subsequent defense layout of the base city must still be implemented in accordance with this standard. Safety is the first priority, not to mention that the minions of the evil god may be waiting for us to become careless."
"In every wave of sieges in the future, there will probably be one where the real killing move of the evil god's minions is hidden."
Even those in high positions.
Fang You continued,
"The construction of the Huangdu base city has been completed, and the next one is the Jiangnan base city that is expected to be lit up in six days."
"During this period, the World Conference will be held in Suizawa Base City. Security and stability during the conference must be guaranteed."
"That's it, the meeting is over!"
…
…
In Mizuze Base City, after dawn, the evil that has sprung up within the base city has become very rare. So far, only one two-star disaster has occurred.
Was extinguished in a moment.
But this does not mean that the base city is very safe. After the evil spawned, there are still many security issues that need to be faced and caution needs to be taken.
One is the impact of external evil tides.
However, as the super wave has just passed, there are not many evil spirits in the entire Shuize Prefecture in a short period of time. External shocks can be ignored for the time being. Xinhuo's early warning system is also monitoring the movements of each evil spirit.
However, within the base city, the security problems caused by the awakened ones and the minions of the evil god cannot be underestimated.
In the office,
Luo Feiyu, who was promoted to the position of junior person in charge, was explaining the work content to a few newly-hired "Xinhuo quasi-regular personnel".
Luo Feiyu is one of the fourteenth batch of warriors to join the Xinhuo guild. He is neither a super-qualified person who joined the guild in the previous batches nor a newbie coming up. However, by staying through time to gain seniority and constantly completing tasks and accumulating contributions, Luo Feiyu is now
He can still be called a 'little master'.
Yeah, a little master with a standard of firepower.
He took a job stationed in the office for a long time and was the captain of one of the ten-man teams responsible for security here.
"If you can receive the task from the office, which means that you have passed the 'Awakening and Mystery' exam and achieved relatively good results, then you must understand that after the tide of gray fog comes, the rate of natural awakening among the people has greatly increased. This
This brings up two problems.”
"Some civil awakeners suddenly gain power and do some irrational things. What's even more troublesome is that awakening is often accompanied by danger and loss of control. Even if the disaster faced by the natural awakening is not that severe, there is a huge base in the base city.
Even now, there are still many people who failed to awaken and turned into evil spirits in an instant... Such disasters occur more frequently than evil evils do, and they are more difficult to prevent."
"After some people wake up, their sanity is affected, or they have dark personalities, and the resulting criminal incidents also occur frequently."
"Our mission is to hunt down awakened criminals and kill the evil spirits born from failed awakenings?"
Among the new employees, the slightly chubby Yu Baibai asked excitedly.
was glanced at.
"No, those cases are usually handled by the Investigation Bureau and have nothing to do with us."
What the hell are you talking about?
Luo Feiyu couldn't hear the murmur in the heart of the little fat man in front of him, so he continued, "But our task is more important."
He pointed to the towering pure white tower in the distance.
"Dawn Lighthouse, our main duty is to protect this tower, but our enemies are not the evil spirits who rush to bite people stupidly, nor are they the awakened criminals who are not smart, but..."
"The minions of the evil god! The cultists!"
Yu Baibai and the other newcomers exclaimed.
Compared with Weixie, cultists are really unfamiliar. Even in the textbooks, there are mentions of, well, green faces with fangs, tentacles all over the body, etc.
Just thinking about it makes people...
Can’t wait!
"Captain, there are still cultists in our base city. Where are they? Where are they?"
If you know where it is, you can still keep it!
Newcomers, they just don’t know what the world is like.
Luo Feiyu said seriously, "Don't underestimate these cultists. The Red Moon Disaster was caused by cultists. Those guys are not afraid of death. They are so terrifying..."
He wanted to describe it in more detail to scare the newcomers, but when the Red Moon disaster happened, he, Luo Feiyu, was still a weakling and was not qualified to go to the battlefield... He had never seen a cultist.
"Our Shuizhe Base City was first built, with densely populated people and a mixture of fish and dragons. This environment is very conducive for cultists to hide. Those guys are as pervasive as flies and kill like cockroaches incessantly. They are scary and disgusting. To deal with these guys, just
Our duty!”
"Especially now that the World Conference is about to be held here, we must ensure the safety of the base city and not allow those cultists to cause trouble."
"Then, when can we find the cultists to go on a mission?"
Facing the newcomer's inquiry, Luo Feiyu choked back.
He also wanted to know this question. It had been quite calm these days. How many missions had the Investigation Bureau next door sent out and how many criminals had been arrested? They were either drinking tea in the office or in the lighthouse every day.
He wasn't expecting cultists to show up, but it made him feel uncomfortable to have nothing to do.
Bang--
"Brother Yu, we have a clue."
The young man wearing glasses walked in with a solemn expression, "Clues related to the cultists!"
…
…
Shuize Base City, Satellite City No. 3.
B16 Resettlement Area.
Temporary buildings here are lined up one after another, leaving very narrow intervals. There are many vendors on the narrow streets, selling soy milk, fried dough sticks, bread, rice rolls and other breakfast items.
Most of them were passers-by in a hurry, with stress written all over their faces.
Even though the construction and relocation process of the base city went very smoothly, after all, two to three hundred million people were squeezed into a small base city. They had to abandon a lot of materials and start over here. Life must be very stressful.
Big.
Fortunately, if you can see hope for tomorrow, you have hope.
"The cultists are hiding in here, be good...this is a bit difficult."
Yu Baibai whispered softly.
These newcomers are also here. After all, they are just "new employees", not pure newcomers. They are all awakened people with good combat power.
At this time, two ten-man teams came to the office, as well as several cooperating plainclothes investigators.
One of the ten-man teams was the 'fish fry team' led by Luo Feiyu.
The other ten-man team is the 'aircraft team' led by a young man with glasses.
at this time,
The young man with glasses, 'Han Jiu', was squatting in front of his laptop, tapping his fingers very fast. As he tapped, fist-sized spherical 'reconnaissance drones' flew out one after another and disappeared from sight in a moment.
.
At the same time, drone views appeared on the laptop.
These drones are not produced by the forging department.
It is Han Ji's personal creation. He has the unique talent of 'machine production' and the awakening ability of 'machine activation'. With the combination of the two, he can create an eye-pupil drone that goes against science but is very mystical.
There is no noise when flying. As his ability is turned on, he can also enter a state of optical invisibility. After locking on a target, he can judge whether it is an ordinary person or an awakened person by observing its steps, muscle shaking, etc.
Based on this investigation, the efficiency is more efficient and safer than a dozen awakened people running around.
"However, your ability can be of more value in the forging department. Why do you want to come to the front line?"
The blacksmithing department is a great job. If you contribute more, you can get access to the latest weapons. However, it is more difficult to get admitted to the blacksmithing department. It is difficult for those without special abilities or academic masters to enter.
Luo Feiyu knew that the Han weapon in front of him matched both of these.
Han Jiu operated the computer and said without looking back, "Okay, I took the formal worker's certificate test a few days ago, but I'm just not fully employed in the forging department."
That look was as ordinary as eating and drinking.
Let Luo Feiyu be silent.
Although he knew that Han Xiu was a rising monster, how could the gap between humans be greater than the gap between humans and dogs? Thinking of the unfathomable organizational core, Luo Feiyu stopped thinking about comparisons.
Only by being content can you be happy.
At least he's above average, okay.
When his thoughts were scattered, Luo Feiyu did not forget to observe his surroundings and the pedestrians passing by. Although he found nothing, Han Ji's investigation quickly made a breakthrough.
"According to Plan No. 1, the arrest will be carried out."
A moment later, without any accident... or any accident, it was suppressed with absolute strength. The guard team killed them and arrested more than ten cultists.
This cult, which had some signs of appearing, was destroyed in an instant.
but,
"The results of the interrogation show that these cultists did not develop in a single line as the evil god's minions, but were corrupted by high-level beings from outside the world, their minds were polluted, and they were transformed."
After hearing the report, Teacher Fang frowned.
…
…
…
Base City, in a restaurant with low-key and restrained decoration.
An Jianyou used long male chopsticks to place a few thin slices of crystal clear sashimi into the hot soup pot, rinsed it gently for a few seconds, picked it up, picked it up, dipped it in some dipping sauce and put it in his mouth
Chew it gently and show a happy expression.
"Ah, peace is so good."
She looked out the window, seeing the pedestrians passing by and the warm golden sun shining on the earth, just like the peaceful times before the disaster struck.
Looking back at the beginning, when she saw the disaster becoming more and more serious, she thought that there would never be such a day again. From now on, she would not be able to sit leisurely in the restaurant, without seeing the cars coming and going on the road, and she could only linger in the darkness.
——This is how Yi Yue Luxi described it to her at that time.
But they maintained a safe place.
I also played a big role in it, great!
Thinking of this, An Jianyou felt proud.
Sitting opposite her was Elohi, who had burgundy and semi-long hair. His eating appearance was much more ferocious. He rinsed plate after plate of meat and waved, "Waiter, this... this... still...
If you have this, let’s have thirty more plates.”
He looked like he was going to make An Jianyou poor.
After all, it was her treat.
It is impossible to be poor. Even if prices are soaring now, it is impossible to be poor. A dignified sixth-level awakened person, An Jianyou only feels embarrassed.
"Well, this friend of mine has a big appetite."
"It doesn't matter, we have also entertained awakened diners here."
The waiter wore his signature smile, but was slightly twitchy.
Eloshi raised his head and whimpered with his mouth full, "Hey, I'm not a loser."
It's just that she finally got the hateful An Jianyou to treat her, and she felt a loss if she didn't eat from morning to night.
You must eat until you can make money!
hateful.
It would be great if I really had the ability to make a living!
When he couldn't hold it any longer, Elohi reluctantly took his eyes away from the menu.
There are already piles of empty plates lying around, and they have been recycled several times.
"You don't have to eat much in the next few days."
If you are not human, you can probably eat a day and save a few days.
Iroxi had been hungry for a while before coming, just wanting to take a big bite of An Jianyou.
But damn it, even if you feel sorry for your wallet!
Pouting, Eloshi saw many figures in black trench coats in the square outside, and suddenly became excited, "What's wrong? Is there a case happening here?"
She rubbed her hands together, her palms burning.
It seems like a scene where a hero appears.
An Jianyou held his forehead and sighed.
"Didn't you read the news? Tomorrow is the World Conference... It is a conference where all countries in the country come together to discuss the future direction of the world and prepare to reach some strategic consensus."
"The conference will be held in our base city of Shuize. To be precise, the venue is not very far from us."
"During the meeting, big figures from mysterious departments from various countries will be present. Of course, the Investigation Bureau must ensure the safety and order here, and so do we, Xinhuo. The conference venue is now maintained by our Xinhuo security personnel."
Just like her, she is on vacation, but will not leave the Mizusawa base city, and she can be regarded as half a security guard.
After explaining the world conference and the various parties involved, Elohi nodded in confusion.
It seemed like something suddenly occurred to me.
"That's right! Since we are participating in more than just various national departments, then my Witch Sisterhood must also have a seat! If not, it is a shady event!"
She muttered.
An Jianyou held his forehead and sighed, "Yes, you must have not read the message. Bai Yansi has already arrived at Shuize Base City on behalf of your sisterhood, and she came by plane specially."
Seeing Eloxi's eyes widen and her lips pouting again, An Jianyou, who probably guessed what she was thinking, comforted,
"The meeting has a lot of cumbersome rules and regulations, and you have to make speeches, communicate with others on behalf of your own power, etc... You don't want these troubles."
"Be good, let's just wait outside for the results of the meeting."
It turns out that Bai Yansi really has the best interests of our president in mind.
Eloshi crossed his arms and nodded slowly.
…
…
Mizuze Airport,
The huge transport plane landed slowly, and what came out of it was a representative from the Sunset Country Night Watch Organization.
And, a certain White Tower messenger wearing a white robe and an elegant appearance.
Although they came together, he only used this tool called an 'aircraft', not with the Sunset Kingdom. The White Tower and the Sunset Kingdom had not cooperated before. After seeing the shocking scene of the wave of siege, Bai Pagoda
The heart of the tower messenger has flown to Donghuang.
A few days ago I wanted to fly here alone.
It's a pity that he can't fly. Even if he could fly, it would be difficult for him to travel through the dangerous journey of thousands of kilometers, so he could only catch the plane in Sunset Country.
At this point, it's finally arrived.
This place is full of miracles and mysticism!
"Mr. Bai, I am your guide on this trip. If you have anything you want to see or anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
An ordinary young man with bright eyes said to him.
This person’s name is ‘Gou Ping’an’ and he is from the Xinhuo Organization.
"Your organization is the force that resisted the super wave a few days ago. How did you do it?"
"Mr. Bai, you are making things difficult for me. I am just a small guide. How can I know this confidential information?"
"Okay."
The White Tower messenger just asked casually and didn't care.
Compared with the information he got from other people's mouths, he believed in his own eyes more. This was also the creed of the White Tower people. Seeing is the truth.
He just wanted to use his own eyes to examine the base city and the Xinhuo Organization to see what was special about it.
The guide was also very knowledgeable. As long as he didn't speak, he was just like a transparent person, just following him step by step.
After coming out of the airport, the White Tower Messenger took the light rail and visited the central area of the base city.
Outside the window is the sun, the lake with sparkling waves, the majestic bridge erected dozens of meters above the river, the traffic is busy, and the river is flowing continuously.
What I saw was a more lively and peaceful scene than their oasis.
Not a trace of gray fog could be seen.
Since this is the core area of Base City, even if you look far into the distance, you can't see the dark line at the end of the sky. All you see is peace, peace, peace!
"Even though the world will eventually be swallowed up, they did it, tearing apart the dark clouds that had been shrouding the sky when the tide of gray mist came."
"How!"
He looked at the pure white tower standing in the distance, which was very eye-catching.
With a little use of secret techniques, you can even see the top of the tower, spreading a faint golden light.
There is no doubt that the tearing of the dark clouds and the dawn shroud is related to this tower. It is not difficult to guess.
The White Tower envoy did not go to the high tower. He was just like an ordinary tourist, walking on the bustling streets and saw many investigators wearing black windbreakers on duty.
There are many.
And among them, it seems that many are awakened ones.
'The awakening rate of this Blue Star is too high.'
'Moreover, the awakening weapons they wear seem to be very sophisticated?'
Rough and delicate, he was confident that he could see it.
I just don’t think it’s mystical.
If there are only a few, it can be explained that they were purchased from a certain oasis force, but since everyone is using these sophisticated weapons, they must be produced by Blue Star!
"That's the one in front?"
Gou Ping'an looked around and saw investigators in black trench coats blocking the scene, and there were also several colleagues wearing Xinhuo combat uniforms inside.
He thought for a moment and said with a serious face to the messenger from the White Tower,
"Mr. Bai, there is a big case happening ahead, and it may be related to cultists. I suggest that we stay away to avoid being affected."
As he spoke, his legs had gradually moved back.
The White Tower envoy glanced at this seemingly timid guide and shook his head slightly.
"Just take a look here. If I don't come forward, everyone will kill the cultists. If necessary, Bai will take action."
"All right."
The guide seemed helpless and stopped moving back.
The White Tower messenger glanced at him, stopped talking, and cast his gaze into the distance.
'If a battle breaks out, I can also take this opportunity to see with my own eyes the level of Xinhuo, the strong man of the Investigation Bureau.'
Probably his wish came true.
Suddenly, the glass window in the distance shattered, and several figures with elongated fingernails and blood mist surrounding their bodies rushed around at extremely fast speeds, like shadows of blood.
At this time, black and white spread, erasing the surrounding colors.
Those bloody shadows and the man in black trench coat on duty disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This is……"
"A domain-type trick?!"
The emissary of the White Tower reached into his pocket, grabbed a few handfuls of dust, and used a secret technique in a moment. In the black and white space, he could vaguely see a muscular figure, grabbing a cultist and tearing him apart.
The ground is torn apart.
He turned around and used a palm to purify another blood shadow.
But at this time,
In the building with broken glass windows, another figure emerged from the building, running towards the distance like a madman.
While the White Tower envoy was still staring at the black and white realm, feeling a little dull about the outside world, the blood shadow had already rushed not far away, and he could see the wriggling bloody whiskers on his face, his red pupils, and his sharp teeth.
'I was careless...'
Assisting the operation of the secret method, making the White Tower messenger's movements slightly sluggish.
Just as he was about to attack with all his strength, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared, swallowing up the blood shadow.
More than ten meters away, a human-like figure with thunder in its palms gradually dispersed.
At the same time, the vast spiritual power dispersed from the mediocre guide beside him.
"Mr. Bai, I just say it's dangerous here, so you should leave as soon as possible."
