Chapter 214 The Sixth Herrscher
"The one who can cause a disaster of this magnitude... can't it be... run!"
Aldemir bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and chose a more realistic plan.
But how could Kosmo allow, allow to abandon those ordinary people who should have been protected by the Fire Moth, and then live in shame?
"No!"
He jumped off Aldemir's shoulder, stepped on the back of the seat, and tried to evacuate the crowd upstream.
[There are many people who signed up for the Vishnu experiment in the European branch, and there must be many here. As long as I stand up first, Destobia will follow, and then we can save most people here like we usually do in the drills! ]
He held up the badge of the Fire Moth in one hand and his certificate in the other hand, shouting:
"This is the Fire Moth, everyone don't... C!"
He stepped on the air and fell down, falling into the sea of people. There was no countercurrent behind him as he imagined, so naturally he couldn't stir up any waves.
But his hands and feet suddenly lost control, and then he forcibly corrected his posture while falling, and finally landed perfectly on his feet.
[Is this... the telekinesis that Desdobia mentioned? ]
He had no time to recall the wonderful feeling just now. In front of him, a crowd of people surged, and everyone's face was simply and roughly piled with fear, hideousness and madness. Under extreme force, everyone's eyeballs bulged high, like a giant frog. That must be the ugliest expression in their lives - Kosmo thought so.
But then his face also became hideous, because along with the crowd came the deadly black mist.
"Really? We both came from that kind of place... How can you be so reckless!"
He was pulled up by the collar from behind, and then he saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the black mist, and saw the tiny dust that humans turned into after dying flying on his face like burning paper...
Aldemir dragged Kosmo straight to the escape passage on the side, but when he got there, he found that there was already a high wall here - a high wall made of corpses that were trampled and crowded to death. Many of the "bricks" that made up this wall had not even died yet, and were still groaning intermittently.
"What are you doing? Come and push!"
Aldemir used all his strength to hit the corpse wall, but except for being bounced back, he was unable to shake it at all.
"Desdobia, you are a fusion warrior, come!"
Although she claimed to be a spiritual perception type and was not good at frontal combat, after fusing the Honkai beast factor, her physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary soldiers... But Desdobia opened her eyes and shook her head helplessly:
"It's useless."
It's useless. Under her spiritual perception, the corpse wall in front of her was more than ten meters thick and there was no possibility of being pushed.
"What should we do?"
Seeing a group of people rushing towards this safe exit, Aldemir quickly pulled a few people and ran to the side close to the wall of the opera house.
The black fog was still expanding. If they continued to stay in this opera house, they would sooner or later turn into flying ash and drift away, leaving no trace.
Desdobia clenched her hands and looked around. She suddenly stumbled and naturally held the bronze urn at her feet.
Then, she suddenly seemed to think of something and jumped up.
"There is a way!"
"What?"
"This is the opera house. In order to ensure that the singing can reach every corner of the venue without a microphone, bronze urns are placed around the walls, but this is not enough!"
She stamped her feet. Although the echo was drowned out by the noise, others understood what she meant at the first time - "The underground is hollow!"
"And to break it, you need to find the most vulnerable part - the stage!"
Following her words, several people looked at the center of the circular opera house, which was also the lowest point. There were various musical instruments scattered there - their owners had already abandoned everything else at the first time and rushed into the crowd to escape.
So there was only a lonely figure left on the stage.
"If we go there, we can just save Sister Eden!"
"But how can you be sure that you can find an escape route in the hollow part of the underground?"
"We have to give it a try! Are there any other options?"
Indeed, there was no other choice, no other choice at all. They went upstream again, forcibly opened a path in the crowd, and rushed to the stage in one breath.
There was only Eden on the stage. She heard the noise and turned her head woodenly to look at the familiar voices.
"It's you guys..."
She smiled.
But that smile was not enough to cover her gloomy eyes.
Her eyes seemed to be at a loss, looking at everything happening in front of her in disbelief, and seemed to be completely in despair, her heart was ashen... No, ashes can still be rekindled, but she was like ashes that had been drowned in water, completely losing the possibility of being blown up.
"Ugh! You guys!"
Yi Wenjielin supported her, and Desdobia quickly rolled up her shirt sleeves, and a series of blue veins suddenly appeared on her bare forearms, and then she punched the stage floor.
"Crack... crack..."
A long crack appeared in the floor. Aldemir and Kosmo immediately stood together with Desdobia and punched and kicked the crack until the floor collapsed with a "wow".
"Aldemir!"
"No... it's okay!"
Aldemir suddenly popped his head out. Since the hole was created for echo and safety must be guaranteed, it naturally cannot be made too deep or too large.
Doesn't that mean there is no escape route?
Iven Jielin felt cold in her heart.
"It doesn't matter. Break another layer of the ceiling and you'll find the underground parking lot!"
Before Aldemir finished speaking, there were two more "bangs" in the cave, and then there was another "wow", and he fell down with it.
Iven Jielin looked out of the cave and saw that, as expected, at a height of five or six meters, there was the underground parking lot.
She raised her head slightly again, and the black fog began to pour down from top to bottom like a real wave, and she saw that it was getting closer and closer to the center stage.
She pulled off her belt, and then pulled out the armor-piercing cone specially used to deal with small Honkai beasts from the straps on the outside of her thighs, and nailed one end of the belt to the floor.
"Sister Eden, hold on tight!"
She grabbed the belt with one hand and held Eden with the other hand and jumped into the cave. When her hand slid to the end of the belt, she gently let go, and finally the two landed unscathed.
...
After a while, Kosmo's voice rushed out of the cave under the blessing of Desdobia's telekinesis, and then reached the ears of everyone in the opera hall:
"Run this way! Run to the middle of the stage!"
In fact, he didn't need to remind them, many people had already noticed their movements, and with more and more black fog pouring in from all around, there was no hope of escaping, so the crowd turned around and rushed towards the stage.
But it was too late. The speed of the black fog was obviously faster than the crowd. People fell to the ground one after another wherever they passed, turned into ashes, and then merged into the black fog.
The last human stumbled onto the stage, using his hands and feet to arch towards the cave entrance.
When his hand finally grasped the edge of the cave entrance, the skin on his hand gradually stiffened and shrank under the rendering of the black fog, until finally, no trace was left.
"Password 13308, Level 2 authority, transferred to the European branch - I am Aldemir, I am at the abnormal scene, what exactly happened here?"
"Beep beep beep... Hello, Deputy Captain Aldemir, the branch dedicated line communication is busy, please reconnect."
"F**k!"
After escaping with great difficulty, they found that not only the opera hall just now, but the entire street was filled with the deadly black fog.
The few people had no choice but to climb to the top of a tall building - the density of the black fog seemed to be greater than that of the air, and it was easier to settle downwards. At least running to a high place was safe for the time being.
"This... cough cough cough!"
It's not necessarily safe. As they walked along, they were more or less exposed to the black fog. In the bursts of heart-wrenching coughs, the skin on their limbs began to rot, and their flesh became stiff, and this situation continued to spread to them.
But they had no other way to deal with it, they could only pray that the fire-chasing moth could develop a drug for treatment.
With a commanding view, everything became clear again.
Aldemir immediately locked onto the girl in a plain white dress wandering on the street.
Not for anything else, it was really-she was the only living thing on the whole street.
And wherever she passed, the sound within a radius of thousands of meters disappeared.
The lights were on, the light and shadow of the TV were also changing, and the car braked suddenly, and it looked intact only from the outside.
"No doubt, that's the Sixth Herrscher!"
"Ahem! Wait a minute... Ahem! Don't you think that girl looks familiar?"
Eden leaned on the railing, her question quickly drifting away with the night wind.
