Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 67 Peaceful Tonight
So many anomalies appear at the same time?
"Report the cause of the abnormality!"

"There's a massive amount of physical pollution!" "There's pollution here too!" "A lot of pollution suddenly appeared!" "Group six, massive pollution!" "Suddenly, a massive amount of black pollution appeared on the ground!" "A large mass of pollution was discovered!"

Suddenly, many banshees spoke at the same time on the first channel, making it a bit chaotic. Xius forced himself to calm down and read the reports of each group.

"Did you only find pollution? Did you find any enemies?"

『.』

『.』

The channel was silent.

Zeus closed his eyes and felt the flow of vitality in the symbiotic contract.

It seems that there is no banshee consuming a large amount of vitality.

"Teams that discover contamination should maintain a distance and monitor the situation. Report any injuries immediately!"

"There's also a ninth group. Where is the ninth group? Receive an immediate reply!"

The report he just received did not include Group Nine!
The ninth group suddenly lost contact!
After feeling the mental connection, I found that the two Banshees in the ninth group were still connected and had not been interrupted, but there was no response.

I checked the location on the map and found that Group 9 was not far from here. Should I take it?
Zeus glanced at Ash and suppressed the idea of going over to check it out himself. He was now the command center, and it would be irresponsible to everyone to take risks with himself, not to mention that he had no fighting ability.

Hughes gritted his teeth.

"Group 13! Group 2!"

『Here!』×2
"Go to Group 9's location and report any situation immediately. Be careful!"

『Yes!』×2
At this moment, the voice of the ninth group, which had disappeared from the first channel for a while, suddenly appeared again!
"Report! Group Nine!"

"Speaking!"

"Just now, pollution descended from the sky and buried Una. I rushed in to rescue her, and now she has been rescued by me."

"Yes. Just now, a large amount of pollution fell directly from the sky. It was like a hole opened in the sky."

"Groups 13 and 2 will continue to check on Group 9's location. Group 9, continue to report any injuries!"

"I'm not injured. This kind of physical pollution seems to be no different from the pollution on the seabed. It poses no threat to us right now!"

"Maintain your flesh and blood magic, and don't be careless."

"yes! 』

"Group Two! We've arrived near Group Nine. There's a lot of physical contamination here. The two members of Group Nine are a little sluggish, but uninjured."

"The thirteenth group has also arrived, and the observation results are the same as the second group!"

"Alright, your two groups will go to these two points respectively. Group Nine will continue to maintain vigilance!"

Seeing that no new abnormalities appeared for the time being, Xiu Si breathed a sigh of relief, and cold sweat covered his back.

When he saw so many places issuing warnings at the same time, he thought Castel was invaded and he was trapped on the island.

The result is nothing more than pollution.

Of course, the simultaneous outbreak of pollution at multiple points is terrifying, but it is not something he cannot handle.

The Banshees share his life pool, and he has the ability to purify pollution, so the Banshees also passively possess some purification ability.

This kind of purification is not like his, which purifies from within to outside, but the life force that passes through his hands will be purified of pollution.

Therefore, even if the banshees are polluted and eroded, as long as their vitality goes through a few cycles of the symbiotic contract, they will immediately return to their original state.

Today's banshees no longer need flesh and blood magic to fight pollution.

"It turns out that cognitive interference can lead to a large amount of pollution. No wonder the Church was so worried about the enemy that it sent extraordinary people directly."

"Fortunately, this is the easiest kind of trouble for me to deal with. It's better than a monster appearing."

"Report, the first team has discovered an abnormality, a contaminated monster has appeared!"

Hughes: “!?”

He wanted to slap himself twice. This crow's mouth was always coming true.

"Can we hold out given the number and size of the enemy?"

"Uh, it's been resolved."

"What type of enemy is it?"

"A few wolves. Miss Zoe taught us to recognize these creatures. They should be local."

"Local creatures?"

"Yes, we saw it just as it was hit by the pollution. By the time we rushed over, it had already turned into a monster."

"How's your combat effectiveness?"

"It's hard to tell. It's probably about the same as a leader or an ordinary human, right? Too weak, I can't really feel it."

『.』

"Are there any other monsters?"

"No, I just found this one. It's not dead yet. I pinned it to the ground."

"Okay, take good care of it and try to keep it alive. I'll keep it for future use."

"yes! 』

Zeus rubbed his forehead. He actually encountered a wild beast that appeared at night. This wolf was also unlucky. It was drenched in pollution. He would be able to study it carefully later.

"Sir, how do we deal with those physical pollution?"

"What is their current status?"

"They gathered in a group and slowly approached us at a very slow speed."

"Can you lead him away?"

"Yes. 』

Hughes rubbed his chin.

"I'll give you a position. Each group will have one person. Gradually lead the pollution over."

He originally wanted to purify these pollutants directly, but now it seems that they are not difficult to control, so they may be of use.

"Lord Lord."

Suddenly, Ash called softly from beside her. She lowered her voice and pointed to the church not far away when Zeus looked over.

The church was next to a forest, so the two men hid in the forest, but they were just trying to hide their bodies under the cover of night. Zeus didn't think they could deceive the extraordinary people.

He looked up and saw that the church door was open.

Chloe carried a wooden bucket, walked a few steps outside, poured out the water in the bucket, and then walked back to the church without looking here the whole time.

Zeus has the night vision ability provided by the symbiotic contract and can clearly see everything happening at the church door.

"Didn't you notice us?"

He was a little unsure. Brother Keschi had connections with the extraordinary, so this nun might just be a mortal.

How strange it has been since I last saw Brother Keschi.

He had no intention of showing up, though. Whether it was a warning from Chloe or just a coincidence, he had no intention of reacting.

What he had to deal with tonight was just the trouble caused by cognitive interference. As long as the church didn't interfere, he had no intention of causing any trouble.

"Continue to remain vigilant and report any abnormalities promptly."

The Banshees' responses came to my mind.

Time passed little by little, the night gradually dissipated, and the morning mist began to cover the earth.

"Sunrise will be here soon."

Hughes looked up at the sky.

"Tonight's operation ends here. Let's return to the cave from the nearby sea. Thank you all for your hard work tonight. We have successfully protected Castel and our home."

"Bring the tainted wolf here."
