A bizarre resurrection: I, Yang Jian, am bound by a contract with the school beauty!
Chapter 265 City of Despair
"Yes, yes, Miss Li Yao is right."
The person in charge hurriedly nodded and bowed, personally opening the car door for Li Yao.
"We have prepared a welcome banquet for you, please..."
"No."
Li Yao interrupted him directly, "Make arrangements immediately. I need to go to Jiacheng, the site of the 'Ghost Pushing People' incident."
"Shall we go now?"
The person in charge was stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to be so decisive, not even willing to drink a sip of water.
"Is there a problem?"
Li Yao's gaze swept over them indifferently.
His gaze was calm.
But this sent a chill down the spine of the person in charge of the world's most powerful nation.
It felt as if I were facing it myself.
She is not a woman, but an iceberg that could erupt at any moment.
"No...no problem! Of course, no problem!"
He quickly replied, "We'll arrange a private plane immediately! We guarantee to get you to the front lines in Calgary as fast as possible!"
The efficiency of the US government's top leadership was on full display at this moment.
It was originally prepared.
The lavish welcome banquet was immediately cancelled.
Just half an hour later.
A C-17 Globemaster III transport plane carrying Li Yao and a team of experts sent by the United States roared into the air from the military airport in Huacheng and headed straight for California on the west coast.
on the plane.
An elderly man with white hair and gold-rimmed glasses respectfully handed a thick document to Li Yao.
He is Professor Smith.
One of the few remaining paranormal research experts in the United States.
"Ms. Li Yao, this is all the information we have collected so far regarding the 'ghost pushing people' incident."
Professor Smith's tone was filled with deep weariness and helplessness.
Simply put...
Li Yao didn't take the document; she simply closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, pretending to doze off.
Professor Smith paused for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Okay."
"Simply put, this is an invisible ghost, which we have named the 'Pushing Ghost'."
"It has no fixed shape and no discernible pattern. It will randomly appear behind anyone and then give them a push."
"Once it selects a victim, the victim will fall forward in an absolutely irresistible manner. And this process of falling will trigger its inevitable death rule."
"Someone fell on flat ground and suffered cardiac arrest immediately."
"Some people were pushed down the stairs and broke their necks. Others suffocated to death just from choking on water..."
"There are countless ways to die, but there is only one outcome: death."
"We've tried all sorts of methods, like having people lean against a wall, walk backwards, or even fix themselves up, but nothing works."
"That ghost seemed to be able to penetrate all physical obstacles."
"Based on our model's extrapolation."
"If it is not controlled soon, in 48 hours at most, the terror level of the 'Pushing Ghost' will be completely stabilized at S level."
"By then, its influence could extend to the entire West Coast, or even..."
"The whole country."
Professor Smith's voice trembled slightly as he finished speaking.
Li Yao slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes remained calm and still.
"I see."
She simply uttered those four words.
……
Hours later, the transport plane arrived over Calgary.
Looking down through the porthole.
This once bustling metropolis, renowned for its sunshine, beaches, and film industry, now resembles a giant tomb.
on the street.
There wasn't a single moving car in sight, nor a single living person.
There were only countless abandoned vehicles.
It clogs every artery of the city in a chaotic and disorderly manner.
The skyscrapers stand silently, yet exude an aura of deathly stillness, like pairs of empty eyes silently gazing at the sky.
The entire city.
They were all shrouded in an invisible, oppressive, and eerie atmosphere.
Li Yao's brows furrowed slightly.
There's an eerie atmosphere here.
Although it was nowhere near as overwhelming as the headless suit-wearing ghost from the Sakura Kingdom, it was even more sinister and more omnipresent.
It's like a slow-acting poison.
In the quiet,
It is encroaching on every inch of the city.
"We tried to organize the evacuation of the people."
Professor Smith, standing to the side, said in a hoarse voice, "But... it failed."
"Anyone who approaches the border of Calgary, whether a citizen trying to escape or a rescue team trying to rush in, will be attacked by the 'Pushing Ghosts' immediately. Without exception."
"Our people suffered heavy casualties before they even saw a glimpse of the ghost."
"We... dare not act rashly again."
After listening, Li Yao simply nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
This is an unsolvable rule-based evil spirit.
For ordinary people who don't have a powerful enough ghost tamer, it's indeed a dimensional reduction attack.
The transport plane did not fly directly into the city.
Instead, it landed at a temporary airport dozens of kilometers away from Calgary.
This place was originally a desert.
Now, however, it has been transformed into a huge forward base by the US military.
Countless military tents, armored vehicles, and tense-looking soldiers surrounded the area.
"Ms. Li Yao, we need to drive to get to downtown Calgary from here."
Professor Smith explained.
"If we were to be attacked by the 'Pushing Ghost' in the air and the plane crashed, none of us would survive."
Li Yao had no objection to this.
The group transferred to several military Humvees and rested briefly.
Escorted by a fully armed guard, they sped off towards the city of Calgary.
The convoy traveled on a desolate highway.
The closer you get to Calgary, the more desolate the surrounding scenery becomes.
Both sides of the road,
Abandoned vehicles and signs of fighting over supplies were everywhere.
in the air.
An atmosphere of despair and chaos permeated the air.
It was at this moment that...
squeak--!
A screeching sound of brakes rang out.
The lead car in the convoy suddenly stopped.
All I could see was the middle of the road ahead.
It was completely blocked by several dilapidated pickup trucks and roadblocks.
A dozen men, armed with automatic rifles and with menacing expressions, emerged from behind the roadblock and pointed their dark gun barrels at the convoy.
"Stop! All of you, stop right now!"
The leader, a burly man with a thick beard, pointed his AK-47 at the convoy and arrogantly roared:
"Leave the car and everything inside!"
"Food, drinks, and gasoline! Then you can get out of here!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The guards immediately raised their guns in alert.
The two sides instantly fell into a tense standoff.
"Fuck! It's those thugs taking advantage of the chaos!"
The driver of the Hummer muttered a curse under his breath.
Professor Smith's expression.
It also became incredibly ugly.
He poked his head out and shouted, "We're the military! We're on an emergency mission! Get out of the way immediately!"
"military?"
The burly man with the thick beard seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
He burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha! So what about the military?"
"In this world, even God can't protect himself! Whoever has the strongest gun is the boss!"
I'll count to three!
"If you don't hand over the goods, we'll open fire!"
