708 Chapter 705-worldwide attention (1)
Today was a pretty good day. The sun was bright and the breeze was gentle, making people feel a little lazy.
Good weather would make people feel good, and it seemed that all their troubles would disappear when they went out to play in this weather.
But for some people, this day was full of pain and fear!
On the wide and straight road, a police car was slowly driving over. Soft music could be heard from the open window.
Just as the two police officers in the car were chatting, their eyes suddenly narrowed, and their expressions became nervous.
There was a huge crowd gathered on the road ahead!
These people looked extremely flustered and Haggard. Many of them were even scratching their throats with their fingers, trying to induce vomiting.
The most shocking thing was that there were many injured people among these people. Their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered in dried blood. Some of them were even lying on the side of the road, in a state of unconsciousness.
“Damn it, did they encounter a terrorist attack?”
The two police officers ‘faces changed as they quickly took out their communicators and began to report.
“Xxx police station, this is Wales, the patrol officer, serial number xxxx. We have found a large number of injured people near X City!
They seem to have been attacked, and the situation looks terrible. We are going up to take a look at the situation, over!”
While they were talking, the police car had already approached the townspeople who had just escaped death. The two police officers quickly jumped out of the police car.
The two police officers looked at each other in shock as they looked at the refugees who were lying on the road.
“Damn it, what happened?”
……
Ten minutes later, the American police station in S city, which had confirmed the call, was in chaos. More than half of the police force was deployed to the town where the incident had occurred. For a time, the sound of police sirens could be heard everywhere as cars rushed straight to the town.
The reporters and citizens who heard the news also swarmed over, afraid that they would be half a step too slow and miss the important information!
At the same time, the American military, which had received the report, immediately mobilized a large number of troops, special operations teams, and medical teams to rush to the town!
The originally unknown town had now become the focus of attention for countless citizens of the United States. Every piece of news related to the town would attract countless people’s attention.
Because there were reporters among the residents of the town, the first thing they did when they got out of trouble was to find a way to expose the matter.
In the age of the internet, there were many major events that did not need to be hidden, and could not be hidden!
In just half an hour, countless people had found out about this matter, and the whole world was in an uproar!
The people in the original world could not believe that a monster had kidnapped the entire town’s residents, and nearly a hundred people had died!
This was something that was almost impossible to happen, but it had actually happened!
After the people recovered from their shock, they turned to look at the small town, only to realize that the place was already surrounded by military and police personnel!
This was a reasonable matter. After all, this was not a small matter. If it was not handled well, it would cause a greater turmoil.
The appearance of the military and police also made the chaotic scene a little more peaceful!
Through the camera’s perspective, people could clearly see a large number of staff in protective clothing going in and out, and the dilapidated buildings in the town were also faintly visible.
From time to time, there would be corpses being carried out and placed in a tightly isolated area.
The reporters at the scene kept explaining, describing the incident as a sign of the end of the world. They even got a surveillance video from somewhere and played a shocking video recording.
A group of tall, foreign cultivators riding on huge white bears were running rampant on the streets of the town, driving residents out of their homes.
The video was very short, less than ten seconds long, and then it fell into darkness.
However, this video alone was enough to confirm that the townspeople weren’t lying. This place had indeed been invaded by foreign cultivators!
In addition, the American military had suddenly launched a military operation some time ago, forcibly relocating all the residents of a town. From time to time, the sounds of gunfire could be heard from that area. This made the people of the United States completely believe in the rumors of an Otherworld invasion!
For a time, the entire American Alliance was in a state of panic. Countless industries were affected, and the leaders of the Alliance were in a terrible fix!
They were trying their best to control public opinion and try to reduce the negative impact. At the same time, they also strictly ordered the person in charge of this operation to deal with this matter in the shortest time possible.
The feeling of being the focus of the world was not good, because it was not something to be happy about. On the other hand, the media was extremely excited about it and tried to find any clues to increase the ratings.
Smith, who was in charge of assisting Tang Zhen, was under even greater pressure. This was because almost all of the people in power viewed Tang Zhen as the key person to resolve this matter. Moreover, he was specifically in charge of contacting Tang Zhen. Therefore, all of the pressure naturally fell on him.
In just a few days, Smith’s hair had turned white from worry, and he had a bitter look on his face whenever he saw someone.
The eyes that he used to look at Tang Zhen were filled with hidden bitterness and pleading. It was as though he would follow Tang Zhen wherever he went.
At this time, the two of them were walking on the streets of the town, heading straight to the square where the residents had been imprisoned.
Tang Zhen observed his surroundings as he walked. However, there was no expression on his face from the beginning until the end. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Smith hesitated for a moment before asking Tang Zhen,”Mr. Tang Zhen, we can now confirm that this group of foreign cultivators is the missing group. There are about two hundred of them.
After forcing the townspeople to swallow that strange mucus, these foreign cultivators let most of the townspeople go, and at the same time, dozens of townspeople were killed!”
Smith’s face showed a hint of regret as he continued, after that, the foreign cultivators disappeared without a trace. Who knows what method they used to leave this place? they didn’t leave any traces behind.
Tang Zhen listened to Smith’s story and slightly nodded. He asked, have the residents of the town been quarantined? did any abnormalities be discovered after the inspection? ”
Smith shook his head, a hint of annoyance on his face. “Most of the residents have been quarantined, but there’s still a small portion who’s hiding somewhere. We’re currently doing our best to search for them.
After a comprehensive inspection, we can confirm that these townspeople are not in any life-threatening danger. However, their metabolism has become extremely abnormal, as if they are always in a state of extreme hunger.”
When Smith said this, a trace of worry appeared on his face as he said to Tang Zhen, ” now, as long as there’s no food, they will become abnormally anxious and full of extreme aggression. There are already several staff members who have been bitten!
It’s obviously caused by that strange mucus. As for its specific composition, we’re still analyzing it!”
Tang Zhen fell into deep thought when he heard this and gently nodded his head.
