I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 671: Death and Locust Plague
in an instant,

The majestic bell sounds began to bloom in the form of ripples above this steam town!
As the bell rang, the residents of Greystone City woke up from their dreams one after another.

at first,

The sound of the bell floated in the morning mist, like a call from afar, making people feel a little confused.

However, as the bells rang continuously, the sleeping atmosphere of most people was instantly broken, and the residents were awakened from their sleep one after another.

Lights lit up one after another in the mist, and people hurriedly put on their clothes with surprise and anxiety on their faces. They communicated with each other, trying to find out what happened from each other.

However, when the fourth bell rang heavily over the town, most people no longer cared too much.
They just rushed towards the execution ground.

The girl still didn't stop what she was doing, she struck the huge bell hard.

As the deep bell sounded, the glow of spiritual energy began to surge through her body, making her feel very warm.

Joyce didn't know that it was the beginning of the first stage of budding.
But this is where the road to extraordinaryness begins!
As the first-order spiritual energy emerged from her body, a series of mechanical prompts that the miner could not understand also sounded in her ears:

[Soldier number: RERS78162]

【Current recovery status: controllable】

[Monitoring war status: non-commander mode, non-vanguard mode]

[Monitoring of body performance: minor injuries, hand epidermal abrasions, bleeding inhibition]

[Unknown energy level input signal, identification, cannot be confirmed]

[RERS78162 accessed the battle sequence, but has not been successfully matched yet]

When Joyce heard these strange mechanical sounds, he initially thought he had misheard.

But she just tilted her head and thought about it curiously for a moment, then put them behind her.

Until nine knocks,

The miner put the small pickaxe back into her backpack with satisfaction. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

“Do this,

I should have saved everyone."

The girl stood at the highest point of the church, where the bell rang, and looked towards the direction of the town.

She saw people begin to evacuate to the shelter in an orderly manner, and she felt her heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

although,

The actions of those people who have just woken up from their dreams probably have nothing to do with order.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a desperate escape.

At the urging of the bell,
The fleeing crowd surged like a tide, running and rushing into the towering giant dome of steel and glass.

Not until they stepped into the dome did they finally relax a little from their extreme fear and tension, and it was not until this moment that some people finally dared to take a deep breath.

The spacious space allows people to temporarily forget the chaos and panic in the outside world.

Above the tall dome, countless steel supports are interwoven into an intricate grid, supporting the skeleton of the entire building.

The glass curtain wall is extremely dark under the night sky, but it also successfully isolates the haze from the outside world.

however,
In this seemingly safe space, there is an indescribable smell of blood, which makes people frown involuntarily.

The smell seemed to seep out from deep inside.

It is a mixture of fear, despair and death. It is everywhere, penetrating every hole, corroding everyone's nerves.

People trembled and wanted to escape from the suffocating smell, but they knew clearly in their hearts that if they left here, they would definitely die:
“What happened when the executioner never sounded the alarm bell in the middle of the night?”

"I do not know either."

Several children who looked younger than the miner lady whispered, but they were quickly reminded by their trembling companions:

"Don't whisper.

Otherwise, we might all become targets of execution.”

After hearing such horrifying words, everyone shuddered and fell silent for a moment.

For a moment, the entire execution ground was perhaps even quieter than the high school evening study room where Su Wen had once been, which was personally supervised by the dean of studies.

Just then,
As the entire execution ground fell silent,

A series of low and harsh flapping sounds were heard from afar.
The sound was as if countless insects were flapping their wings and resonating in the darkness.

even,

The sound was getting closer and clearer, making people's heart beat faster involuntarily.

People began to look around in panic, trying to find the source of the sound.

however,
In this dark and complex mechanical structure and the thick fog that enveloped the entire Greystone City, they could only see vague shadows and flickering lights.

As the sound of flapping wings approached, fear quickly spread among the crowd.

Some began to run screaming, trying to find a safe place to hide;

Some people cling to the people around them, as if that could bring them some comfort.

However, no place within this huge dome is truly safe.

The flapping of wings became louder and louder, as if countless giant insects were approaching.

People can already clearly see the black swarms of insects dancing in the darkness.

Their wings flickered with a dark light, and they came into this world silently like messengers of death.

at the same time,

Norma and Qin had escorted the nuns and all the children in the cathedral back to the shelter that Su Wen had temporarily decided on.

The short girl held a book in one hand and placed the other on her chest.

Coming to this nightmare place again, she couldn't help but whisper:
“The execution grounds that once massacred countless people have become our last refuge.

How ironic.”

"I do not think so."

The three-no girl gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Although she still had no expression,
But for some reason there was a sense of relief in his eyes.

"When Mr. Kevin personally dealt with the executioner, I felt that everything was completely different.

But Joyce,
Why hasn't she come yet?"

"I do not know!"

The two talked about the miner lady.

Can't help but feel a little worried.

at the same time.

Along with the center of the steampunk town, the cathedral bells echo like an ancient call.

Miss Joyce felt very proud.

But the surge of psychic power made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and the girl felt her body being torn apart by an invisible force.

Her legs were weak and she could barely support her weight, but she still stood stubbornly on the top of the cathedral.
"I have to go back quickly.
We must not let them worry, and we must not let Mr. Kevin worry."

But even if she gritted her teeth and persisted,

The bloody palms of her hands from climbing the church's outer wall just now, as well as the discomfort from her psychic advancement, made it almost impossible for her to move.

however,
Just as the girl was about to collapse from exhaustion, her eyes caught a scene that she could not ignore:

A lonely child fell on the distant street,

Struggling helplessly.
