I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 117 Aid from All Directions

One of the disaster sites, Baihe Beach.

When An and his group arrived, the area was already heavily cordoned off, and some people in black trench coats or plain clothes were busy running around.

The former are often key personnel in the Countermeasures Bureau, and their black trench coats are both a symbol and an honor.

The latter are mostly logistics personnel of the Countermeasures Bureau, such as clerks in the new recruit guidance office, or peripheral dreamers.

There are a lot of people.

But we still don't have enough manpower.

Because, "the coverage is too broad!"

The area where Shi An and his group were located was still relatively far out, but they could still see the hazy fog in the distance.

The gray fog enveloped the entire beach and the river, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"The affected area is several times larger than that of Baijiang University, and this is only one of the disaster sites."

The area is wide, and strange or lesser monsters may emerge from within the gray fog region at any time.

This is naturally tricky.

Even the logistics staff of the countermeasures bureau had to be brought in to help.

Song Qiming said, "Our task is to coordinate with the security officers of the Public Security Bureau. However, since many security officers are unaware of Amu's situation, we must strictly enforce confidentiality regulations to prevent the leakage and spread of nightmare information."

"clear!"

The group of five arrived at the western entrance of Baihe Beach.

Here, a squad from the police department is on standby.

"Boss, what's going on? Why is everything so serious, and what about those people in black trench coats?"

One of the security guards couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

The captain knew the inside story, but he simply said in a low voice, "Don't ask so many questions, just do our own thing."

After exchanging a few words with the captain, Song Qiming said, "The higher-ups have ordered that the cordon be extended another kilometer. We need to set up a blockade in the outermost area and forcibly evacuate the people in this area."

The captain's expression changed. "Is it that serious?"

He had barely finished speaking when he faintly heard gunshots coming from afar, one after another, growing increasingly rapid.

He immediately replied, "We understand."

A dozen or twenty people were checking one by one to see if there were any residents still living nearby. This was their task. Other countermeasures bureau teams and squads were also racing against time.

Several special vehicles from the Countermeasures Bureau arrived and stopped abruptly outside the beach.

The car door opened, and several operatives dressed in black trench coats with serious expressions stepped out of the vehicle.

Leading the way was a burly man whose height was like an iron tower.

A middle-aged man was accompanying him.

The burly man said, "Director Tian, ​​that's enough for now. This is our battlefield. You must maintain order and make sure the information about the nightmare doesn't spread."

"Yes, I'm not capable of going to the front lines, but we will definitely maintain order in the rear!"

The bureau chief said earnestly.

Several security guards who were conducting door-to-door checks stared wide-eyed. "Isn't that... isn't that Director Tian from our branch office?"

He's their captain's boss's boss!

However, Director Tian was standing beside the tall, strong man, listening to his instructions.

Who exactly is that person?

"The man in the black trench coat is indeed mysterious and of extraordinary status! Brother, I always feel that there are many hidden depths in Baijiang City."

"That's right. The people who were checking with us, even though they weren't wearing those black trench coats, were treated with great respect by the captain. I think they're not simple people either."

In other words, novels and films are not well-developed in Baijiang City.

Or rather, many things were blocked.

Otherwise, based on the situation at hand, the two security guards would be able to make up most of the details in their minds.

Team member Li Hao was also looking in that direction. "It's Captain Long Niu Niu! So our Countermeasures Bureau's captain and deputy captain are this impressive?"

Titles like captain and vice-captain may not seem very prestigious.

Normally, a captain-level figure would only be accompanied by two or three team members when traveling, just like a squad leader in the public security bureau.

Today I finally saw the true weight of a vice captain!

Zhang Yuning said weakly, "But they are going to the battlefield to face the strange and unpredictable, so it's normal for them to have a higher status."

Song Qiming said, "That's right. Our team leader and deputy team leader are all people who have been on the front lines for many years. They are important figures and people worthy of respect. Of course, the most important thing to get into the positions of team leader or deputy team leader is still ability."

"Even if most of us become Dream Fallers, it's already quite good if we can eventually make it into the main force of the General Administration team. Above that is the elite sequence, the team leader, and then the vice-captain and the captain."

"However, Xiao Kai, who has worked part-time here, has the makings of a vice-captain."

The rapid gunfire just now only lasted for a short while before stopping.

However, the atmosphere enveloping Baihe Beach and the surrounding area grew increasingly heavy.

"I always feel like some kind of disaster is about to break out, or some kind of eerie entity is about to appear."

Zhang Yuning looked around, like a frightened bird.

Although, what she said wasn't wrong.

They had no idea what was going on inside.

If the disaster were to be exposed, these people wouldn't have much better survival skills than ordinary people.

But that's the responsibility.

Shi An asked, "This time, multiple disasters occurred simultaneously, which is why the headquarters is short-staffed. Have similar situations occurred in the past?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "No, I don't think so?"

Jiang Yilu: "It seems not. This is the largest disaster I have ever experienced. In the past, disasters also resulted in casualties, but usually the rescue was not fast enough. This time, the scope is very large, and we ordinary staff members are not enough to handle it."

Song Qiming remained silent for a while.

He said, "Actually, there is."

Lao Song paused for several seconds before saying, "About a year ago, I personally experienced a similar disaster. At that time, many Nightmare Invasion disasters broke out at the same time, and the headquarters' experts were overwhelmed."

Song Qiming clenched his fist.

He felt as if he had returned to that day, where blood and flames stained his vision.

He could only kneel down helplessly, watching his relatives and friends fall in front of him.

"That time, several areas affected by the disaster suffered heavy losses, with countless dead and injured. Even members of the countermeasures bureau's action team lost several members. I even heard that two deputy captain-level experts perished!"

Such disasters are deadly to ordinary people and those who fall into dreams, but they usually do not threaten the strong, let alone important figures like vice-captains.

The fact that even the deputy captain sacrificed his life shows just how terrible the disaster was.

"This time—"

Song Qiming was deeply worried.

He had a vague feeling that this disaster was more serious than the last one, and that the affected area was more densely populated.

So many people sacrificed their lives last time, what about this time?

Just as I was thinking this, suddenly, it seemed as if a gust of wind blew by, and the gray fog in the distance rolled in like waves.

The gray fog did not engulf the area beyond the beach, nor did it plunge it into the nightmare.

However, when the gray fog receded, what remained on the roads and among the houses were one terrifying monster after another.

"Weird, weird! A water locust dragonfly!"

This is a monster with a body length exceeding two meters, resembling a dragonfly grown many times larger.

The monster's abdomen split open, and a locust, only as thick as a normal person's arm, flew out and quickly spread in all directions.

There were quite a few of these water locust dragonflies in sight!

Whether it was Song Qiming, who recognized the supernatural and was well-versed in common supernatural phenomena, or other ordinary security guards who did not recognize the supernatural, they all gasped and trembled.

Even if the security guards didn't recognize what it was, the mere appearance of this water locust dragonfly was enough to send chills down their spines.

The locust monsters smelled the human scent and quickly swooped over.

Song Qiming pulled out a pistol from somewhere, gripped it with both hands, and fired rapidly.

Seven shots were fired in quick succession!

Five locust monsters were killed on the spot, but more locust monsters were still swarming over.

"Da da da da da one"

Machine guns mounted high up on the building also began to unleash their firepower.

However, the bizarre itself is a product of nightmares, possessing extremely strong vitality while also carrying a bit of the rules of nightmares.

Real-world bullets hitting the supernatural entity might have some effect, but it's highly unlikely they'd actually have any real impact.

Unless a large amount of superior firepower can be concentrated, however, the strange creature is not a target, and the terrain in the city is also complex.

Besides, Baijiang City is just an ordinary city; where can we find heavy firepower equipment?

The water locust dragonfly was extremely fast, and in an instant it flew into the air, leaving a trail of afterimages as it flew towards the machine gun in the distance.

The soldier operating the machine gun was already prepared to die.

Shi An was originally prepared to make a move.

His shadow avatar was always nearby, blending into the shadows and ready to strike at any moment.

But then he suddenly realized something and looked into the distance.

The clattering sound of the helicopter's wings filled my ears. A young man stood at the open cabin door, the wind whipping his hair in the wind.

He reached out, the tip of his sword pointing into the distance.

The next moment, his entire figure disappeared.

"A sword strike in an instant!"

Suddenly spanning twenty or thirty meters, it drew a jet-black sword beam in mid-air, severing one of the water locust dragonflies' wings.

Two figures passed each other.

The Xuan Sword landed on the rooftop of a residential building on the fourth floor, and rolled down smoothly.

The water locust dragonfly crashed heavily onto the street, smashing a car to pieces.

Xuan Jian thought to himself, "Even when slashing from high above, the landing point is still off."

His original plan was to take the strange statue by surprise and cut it in two with a single sword strike.

The result was that only one wing was cut off.

For the Weirdos, this wasn't considered a serious injury.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Xuanjian looked around.

He dealt with the eerie creature with ease.

Even if he were to fight multiple opponents, he was confident he could handle them. Dealing with a few water locusts and dragonflies would be much easier than dealing with the black-armored leader.

However, not all of these strange occurrences will attack him.

On the contrary, apart from the strange creature that had just been wounded, the others either pounced on the patrol personnel or flew out of the blockade.

He was just one person and couldn't be in two places at once!

Lao Song, Director Tian, ​​and others also realized this.

But Shi An has already relaxed.

He doesn't need to take action anymore.

Because he had already noticed that there were points of light symbolizing members coming from all directions.
