Chapter 277 Praying Mantis

Crowds of people and vehicles, marching on the street, honking, shouting, urging, crying, and running are mixed together.

The uneasiness in people's hearts will spread quickly like a plague, and half of the city will fall into anxiety and panic, the closer the place is to the emergency repair zone, the more so it will be.

Fortunately, hundreds of brightly colored official vehicles are parked in every corner of the city center. The loudspeakers on them, in conjunction with the city broadcasting system and hundreds of grassroots officers, maintain the crowd to go underground in an orderly manner. Evacuation facilities.

And the ubiquitous monitoring deters those thieves with ulterior motives and deters them from crossing the line-the grassroots cadres have also been given greater authority than usual to act.

At this time, all the residents in the target area had been evacuated, and several armed helicopters equipped with searchlights hovered over the repair area.

In the sight of the Air Command and Observation Post, dense fog is continuously emerging from the middle of Qianhua Road. The fog is quite "sticky and heavy", clinging to the ground, spreading around like gray moss, thickening as time goes by. The fog will gradually rise,

The highest point, which is the center of Qianhua Road, has risen to a height of 20 meters.

The wind blown up by the gunship hovering at a low altitude did not interfere with the spread of the dense fog at all, and even the super-large wattage bright searchlight on the side of the helicopter could not illuminate the range of one meter into the dense fog.

The fog continues to spread, silently engulfing all obstacles,

Whether it is high-rise buildings, roadside vehicles, drones flying into it, or scouting robots advancing close to the ground, the fog engulfs them equally, silently and quietly.

Any attempt to detect the fog in the outside world is like a mud cow entering the sea, and it will never be sent, and there will be no more news.

It's as if... these fogs don't exist in the world, they are completely isolated from the world.

Helicopters fly around in the sky,

On the ground streets near Qianhua Road, temporary modules have already been used to build combat missions.

Bright searchlights were hung from high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, barbed wire fences, anti-tank repelling horses and other roadblocks were erected in the middle of the road, and the first line of defense was filled with sandbags and machine guns.

Behind the first line of defense is an iron gate across the street. On both sides of the iron gate are denser machine gun turrets, and behind the iron gate are a group of motorized infantry battalions ready to charge at any time.

These motorized infantry battalions are composed of assault group, reserve team, cover group, fire support group, destruction obstacle group, destruction group, command group, solid defense group, escort group, special group, and air assault group. A special team consisting of Mobile Task Forces was established.

It is true that in the face of modernized established teams, the destructive power of players is obviously not comparable to intensive artillery fire, but the treacherous means and life-saving skills possessed by players are also not possessed by established teams.

The mobile task force is responsible for naturally rushing into the dense fog to collect clues, and when the situation deteriorates, it will charge and surprise (or cover and retreat) with the motorized infantry battalion.

In fact, in normal times, the personal safety of Mobile Task Force players is naturally the top priority, and the death of every player is a major loss.

But now, Yin City is behind them.

In the rear of the assault camp, there are rocket launchers, flamethrowers, engineering units and nuclear, biological and chemical three-defense forces, artillery, mortars, anti-tank missile systems, and teams ready to go.

These teams will provide cover for the assault camp when necessary, and they are also the third line of defense after the assault camp.

The team formed in this way was located in the middle of various streets around Qianhua Road. Even if it was a fully armed modern beach landing team that broke through the fog, they were confident of repelling it.

The problem is that what they are dealing with is not necessarily "people".

The shrill, loud, and inhuman howls of beasts rang out in the dense fog. The operators at the front of the camp, using the light of the searchlight, clearly saw some kind of huge, strange-shaped monster swimming through the dense fog. Inhuman silhouette.

The outline gradually approached the edge of the dense fog. Due to the obstruction of the fog, its specific appearance could not be seen clearly, but its body structure could be seen clearly.

It is at least seven or eight meters high, with a huge deformed conical head that extends backwards, and a narrow and slender (relatively speaking) neck. Below the neck is an extremely broad shoulder that is comparable to a horizontal truck.

On both sides of the shoulders of the silhouette, there are mantis-shaped forelimbs extending like the blades of a wind turbine. The upper and lower sides of the forelimbs are covered with jagged sharp serrations.

And the waist and abdomen of the silhouette also tightened suddenly like a praying mantis, and its hind legs were hidden in the thick fog, making it hard to see clearly.

Behind the "Praying Mantis", there are more than a dozen soft and long tentacles flying and floating.

The huge figure standing on the edge of the dense fog seemed to be frozen, motionless, only the tentacles behind it were still moving without wind, as if they had their own consciousness, flying wildly, projecting fear into the team in front of the camp.

Fear of the unknown, fear of death, is an instinct engraved in the essence of life.

The commander of the camp, Xing Hechou, who is also one of the captains of the Yin City Mobile Task Force, shouted, telling everyone not to act rashly.

Before the words were finished, a tentacle behind the figure suddenly tensed and trembled, and whipped towards a high-rise building engulfed by the fog very casually.

boom--

The high-rise building that was half-swallowed by the fog seemed to be hit by a heavy battering ram. Its outer wall exploded, and countless glass and cement bricks splashed obliquely towards the barricades in front of the camp like a torrential rain.

Xing Hechou jumped up suddenly, and at some point raised a rectangular translucent white crystal shield like an iron tower in his hand.

The crystal shield instantly expanded and spread in the air, and instantly turned into a giant crystal steep slope standing obliquely on the ground, blocking the splashing cement bricks and stones.

clang clang clang,

The sound of concrete bricks hitting the shield suddenly sounded like a rainstorm, and suddenly disappeared.

Before Xing Hechou could react, the silhouette of the giant "praying mantis" seemed to be attacked suddenly. It fell backwards suddenly and was dragged backward by something. The two giant forelimbs comparable to wind turbines were deep He dug into the ground and dragged two deep scars on the concrete road.

"..."

Xing Hechou frowned, watching the thick fog that was surging and slowly returning to calm, without saying a word.

Almost——

The sound of the wind resounded in the dense fog, and several larger, burlier, and weirder figures of monsters than the "mantis" quietly appeared on the edge of the fog, silently staring at the street ahead with their bright red eyes. of mortals.

After a long time, the monsters receded slowly, and everyone heard the clear sound of chains yanking under their feet.
