Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory
Chapter 217 The Drumbeat Begins
The little girl who was just jumping around was suddenly dead, her eyes wide open and her body covered in blood, which made people feel scared.
After Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang finished giving their statements, Secretary Zheng came over. She had a serious expression, but when she saw the five of them, she nodded to them, patted Lin Shuangshuang on the shoulder reassuringly, and quickly went inside to communicate.
It's impossible to frame them, since the five of them had no motive and no time to commit the crime, and there was surveillance footage of the entire journey.
Rather than framing them, this seems more like an intimidation tactic, as if they were being tried to scare them.
Huo Ling saw Lin Shuangshuang frowning, so he reached out and hugged her.
The little monster was feeling bad.
Lin Shuangshuang loathed those who didn't treat humanoid weapons as human beings, and was extremely angry.
The three of them, including Rona, didn't look too good either; this place was too terrifying.
After Secretary Zheng came out, she gestured for them to walk while saying, "The fatal wound was on her neck, one blow was all it took. Xiao Qian... she must have been quite decisive when she left. Are you all alright? Do you need psychological counseling? Those people are really..."
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her hands were trembling with resentment, but she still held back.
Lin Shuangshuang asked her, "Are they really that bold? Is there no one who can stop them?"
Secretary Zheng's eyes were filled with hatred. He only said, "These lunatics are about to lose their temper. Don't worry, they won't be able to cause trouble for long. Be careful in the area recently. It's still safe in District 11. Those people won't dare to do anything here. Xiao Qian had an accident on the way out of District 11."
She took a deep breath, told the five of them to take care, and then went back to report the situation to Su Yu.
Huo Ling led Lin Shuangshuang and Luo Na back to District 11. On the way, they could see people secretly protecting the five of them, probably because Su Yu was worried.
She never expected that something would happen to one of her own people right under her nose. The other party was so arrogant that they dared to kill someone in the base. They were truly insane.
Xiaoqian's death was like the first strike of a gong, followed by a series of deaths that quietly spread throughout various parts of the base.
Panic.
The outside world is like hell, and even the underground city cannot completely avoid disasters.
That day, the underground city shook violently.
The overhead projection and artificial climate display were destroyed, exposing a large section of concrete roof.
The illusions people were deceiving themselves about were torn away.
The three of them, including Rona, stood by the window, leaning against the wall, their faces filled with shock.
"What's going on?!"
"This thing can actually break!"
"Was there an earthquake?!"
Huo Ling protected Lin Shuangshuang and, upon hearing this, told the three of them to come over quickly and stay away from the window. "Something must have happened. The situation has worsened recently, so you all need to be mentally prepared. There's probably going to be a fierce battle."
Although officials quickly began repairs, the artificial climate and projections returned to normal.
The cement wall transformed into a clear sky once again.
The temperature has returned to normal.
But everyone knew that their peaceful life was about to become unsustainable.
Storm is coming.
Huo Ling is contacting Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng, and they both said there's no problem.
Zhang Dapeng's voice came through the communicator: "There's been a lot more stuff in the junkyard lately. Secretary Su is a genius; he made us hide here so inconspicuous. How's the situation on your end?"
He expressed great concern.
Zhao Pingsheng stated that he also had related news: "Recently, there have been many deaths reported from the base. The brain-eating worms have evolved several times, and a large number of superhumans and humanoid weapons are dying. However, the deaths of the humanoid weapons seem more likely to be caused by humans."
After all, humanoid weapons are very powerful and do not die easily, but recently the mortality rate of humanoid weapons has been soaring, successfully causing panic.
The base is a mess.
Huo Ling said, "Let's wait and see. The other side is definitely playing a bigger game."
He told Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng to hide well, saying, "The other side's goal is to find a way to reduce the pollution level. You and Lin Shuangshuang are both important people. As long as you two are safe, it won't be a problem."
He guessed that the other party was making such a big fuss simply to force Lin Shuangshuang out, but they didn't know that she was able to reduce the pollution level because of Zhao Pingsheng's medicine. Zhao Pingsheng himself hadn't figured out why his medicine worked on Lin Shuangshuang but not on others.
However, Zhao Pingsheng had anonymously submitted a formula to the authorities. Although it didn't work, if the authorities became suspicious and followed the trail, they could easily find Zhao Pingsheng, and then Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng would also be in danger.
Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng said they understood, and then they both thought of Su Yu. Luckily, she had let the seven of them into the base in advance.
Otherwise, if they were to wander outside, they might actually be wiped out one day.
The other side used too many underhanded tricks.
Huo Ling quickly ended the call with Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng, alertly saying, "Someone's here."
Lin Shuangshuang had been staring at the window for a long time; there were probably more than a dozen people outside.
The three of them, including Rona, remained calm. Although they were shocked, they showed no sign of it. Nearly a year of living in the apocalypse had tempered them, and they immediately prepared upon hearing the news.
While the two sides were engaged in battle.
The base's alarm blared, the piercing noise startling everyone.
This is the movement of the group.
The humanoid weapons immediately rushed out to rescue the people.
They were focused on carrying out their mission.
Lin Shuangshuang, however, was attacked by a very strong opponent.
It also appears to be a humanoid weapon.
Rona's fire dragon appeared, instantly knocking away several nearby enemies.
Huo Ling activated his mental power. The moment he closed and opened his eyes, his mental power flowed through his eyes, and he had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation. "There are thirteen people on the other side, all of them are seventh-level ability users. Secretary Su's secret guards have also come to support us. There are six of them, three of them are seventh-level and three of them are sixth-level. Adding our five people, we have a total of eleven people on our side, which is a difference of two people."
Moreover, although he had already broken through to the eighth rank, the three of them, including Rona, were only at the late sixth rank.
Although Lin Shuangshuang is very capable and has kept the pollution levels under control recently, she cannot overexert herself. Compared to the overall strength of both sides, they are at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Su Yu's people have already called for reinforcements.
The opponent is a spatial ability user, extremely skilled in close-quarters combat. In the blink of an eye, they appear behind you and stab you with a specially made longsword.
Lin Shuangshuang suddenly rushed over and kicked the man away before he could pierce Luo Na's heart. She stared coldly at him and then chased after him.
Several others could become invisible. Huo Ling used his mental abilities to launch a mental attack on them, successfully stunning them for three seconds and thus revealing their location. "Gao Lei, Luo Na! Seize the opportunity!"
Luo Na and Gao Lei immediately stepped forward. Luo Na used fire to form a seal, and layers of light appeared on the ground. Gao Lei used his petrification ability to control their legs.
Finally, a burst of fire erupted from the light seal, successfully trapping the four enemy soldiers.
Rona intensified her attack, her eyes blazing with fury, and roared, "Die!!"
The raging fire burned all four of them, but due to the difference in their levels, they managed to escape. After escaping, they didn't run away but continued to attack Luo Na and Gao Lei, showing no sign of wanting to fight to the death.
