Director Tao looked at the spinning perspective on the screen, and finally realized that an unexpected change was happening in the world of Hades at this time.
Thanks to the R&D organization, the innovative equipment "Witness" that combines technology and craftsmanship, they can receive the situation on site in real time even if they are outside.
The journey that had been a near-miss before was over, and they had just relaxed a little, but at this inadvertent moment, something unexpected happened suddenly!
The train crashed?!
This was the first thought that popped into the minds of everyone sitting there.
The reality did not disappoint them.
The perspective conveyed by the "witness" is constantly reversed, accompanied by the sound of large pieces of glass and metal breaking, as if a piece of cloth has been torn apart by invisible violence, and countless debris is flying in front of the camera.
Crackling...
"Captain Wang? Captain Wang!"
Director Zhang of the Zishan City Executive Bureau grabbed the earphone and shouted in a deep voice.
No response.
The person carrying the "witness" on the screen seemed to have fallen asleep. A bloody palm lay in front of the screen, with half of the fingertips still twitching slightly exposed.
He seemed to hear the voice on the other side of the screen. His fingers were struggling, as if he wanted to express something, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by a falling fragment of the car body above.
Bang!
[Zhi...]
"1599, confirmed loss of contact."
"1345, confirmed lost contact."
"1483, confirmed lost contact."
Numbers with no news were reported one after another. In the end, even the clerk couldn't bear to continue speaking.
If I remember correctly, there were a total of fifty-three elite combatants participating in this operation, and now, nearly forty people have been confirmed to be missing.
In this place where there is no rescue.
Losing contact is tantamount to death.
Such a huge number of people almost means the demise of this team.
"..."
Director Tao stood silently, looking at the dusty scene in front of him, ignoring Director Zhang who was walking away quickly.
But not long after, he heard roars outside the war room.
"We shouldn't go in on our own initiative! We shouldn't...the elite combat personnel in two cities were completely destroyed in just a blink of an eye. How should I face them? And the families behind them?!"
Finally, there was even a hint of crying in the voice.
Obviously, the destruction of an effective force in his city directly shattered the faith of this man who had lived in comfort for a long time.
Although Director Tao still persisted, he didn't feel much better.
Many people in the investigation team are also from his command, and what's more, they obviously had a conversation yesterday...
But despite the sadness in his heart, he had to grit his teeth and try to find the last glimmer of hope in the accident.
"By the way, where is the Fool, how is he doing?"
Director Tao paused anxiously and asked with a serious face.
"The Fool..."
The technician wanted to say something, but when he saw a signal on the display interface, he couldn't help but stand up.
"The Fool is still alive, the Fool is still alive!"
"Are you still alive?"
Director Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there are still people alive, the rest may not be unable to be rescued. In this way, from a good perspective, the casualties may still be within a controllable range.
He knew that this was a self-deceiving idea.
A high-speed train collided head-on with a train loaded with cargo. Under such a violent impact, the human body was not shattered into pieces in an iron can like biscuit crumbs, which was considered decent.
How many people could survive this tragic accident due to a moment of luck and superior skills?
Director Tao was silent for a long time, then said in a solemn voice: "Can I contact him?"
"this……"
The technician's hands quickly operated on the keyboard, and then he looked embarrassed: "Several team members who were previously used as transfer base stations have lost contact. The work of the 'witnesses' at the scene has entered an offline state. It may be temporarily..."
"Unable to contact."
…
"Ahem..."
In the darkness, Gao Yi heard distant coughs, one after another, like the sound of a shriveled drum, screaming at the top of his lungs with the pulse of life.
"Ahem..."
It turned out to be himself.
"Ahem!"
Gao Yi opened his eyes from the smoke-filled waste and coughed violently continuously.
He seemed to be a refugee who had been trapped for a long time in the earthquake. His whole body was covered in patches of mud and dust. His forehead had not touched something yet, and blood was slowly dripping down.
Wow——!
Gao Yi pushed away a few pieces of metal pressed against his body and walked on the ruins with some staggering steps, trying to identify his current location.
He turned on the [Psychic Searchlight], and the dark yellow light shone like a candle, dispelling the mist-like darkness around him.
Snap.
Snap...
He climbed out of the carriage from the ceiling and walked on the ruins of civilization. When he reached the height where the upper half of the carriage was, a cold wind hit him, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
call!
The darkness dissipated like mist, and under the flickering light of the lantern, Gao Yi saw large swaths of black sea water undulating on the extremely distant coastline, with countless waves and foam splashing, constantly rising and dying on the tidal flats.
This is the largest death realm he has ever seen so far.
It seems like a real sea, located at the end of this horizon, carrying the sleeping souls of tens of thousands of souls, giving them eternal sleep.
"Could it be that...this is the true face of Hades, the so-called place of 'return to rest'?"
The shock did not last long. Gao Yi suddenly thought of Xiao Di and his expression changed.
My little friend was overturned before he had time to come back. I'm afraid he has flown to an unknown place now.
Although he was confident about Siren Head's physical strength, he was still a little uneasy.
Wow...
"Xiaodi?"
Hearing some movement in the ruins below, Gao Yi hurriedly looked up. To his great disappointment, it was not Descartes who climbed out of the rubble, but a very embarrassed Jian Weilan.
As a fool, he was originally an unfettered dreamer in all his actions and thoughts, but at this moment, it seemed that he had lost his power. He was surrounded by dust and gravel, and he looked as embarrassed as a fool.
"Are you... okay?"
Gao Yi originally wanted to act like Mr. Gao, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary. He might as well act more like a partner and extended his hand to Jian Weilan.
However, Jian Weilan seemed not to have seen him, and walked straight to a ruins, leaning against the carriage and sitting down, staring blankly at the sky.
"you……"
Gao Yi wanted to say something, but when he saw the other person's eyes, he fell silent. An inexplicable sense of depression rose from the ruins and surrounded the two of them.
The Fool's ability comes from the driver's state of mind. The more in line with the intention, the more abstract and unrestrained it becomes, and may even reach the level of the legendary "untouchable by all laws".
However, a depressed mood means that your abilities are limited.
Now that Jian Weilan has realized that his entire team was almost wiped out, does he still have his original non-conventional state of mind?
Looking at Jian Weilan who was completely different from the past, Gao Yi shook his head in his heart.
