"Most of them should not be Spider-type..."

"Twist your neck so hard, doesn't it hurt?"

"..."

When he saw the horrifying scene in front of him, Lu Xin suddenly had this idea in his mind.

He didn't know why, but when he saw such a weird and terrifying scene, he felt a kind of peace.

Probably because I had discovered the problems with these people a long time ago and had been thinking about what kind of changes these mutants would have, so when I saw the scene in front of me, I didn't panic, but felt like I had found the answer.

The car behind him was gently pulled open, and a small head emerged from Kid.

She also seemed to feel the changes in the spiritual power around her, and looked into the distance with some curiosity.

There was also no panic on her face.

The panicked one was Chen Jing.

She was outside the quarantine area at this time, more than 200 meters away from the car where Lu Xin and Kid were.

When Mental Monster appeared next to Donghai Hotel, who was so huge that he could almost be seen with the naked eye, she also noticed that detectors were installed every thirty meters around the isolation area and sounded alarms at the same time.

The red lights flashed and the sirens blared.

Clearly, something is wrong.

These people who were forcibly sent to the temporary isolation area were all people who Lu Xin saw a problem with but could not detect.

They were even a little troubled, not knowing how to prove their weirdness so that they could explain it later.

But at this time, they no longer need to be tested.

The series of mental detectors directly proved the problem.

"Everyone... get ready..."

Chen Jing held the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly.

When the voice came out, she realized that her voice was trembling, so she tried to control herself so that her voice sounded calm and powerful, "Immediately strengthen prevention and control measures, report Special Purity Department and City Defense Department, and connect Information Analysis Team."

"I want to get their logical chain analysis and solution suggestions in the shortest possible time."

"..."

It was also at this time, when the shadow in the red cloak was getting higher and higher, and the image revealed under Crimson Moon became clearer and clearer, Mr. Su was forcibly escorted away by Special Task Force E and Professor Bai have taken the secret elevator inside Donghai Hotel, a hundred meters deep below, entered a specially built platform, and sat in an underground train.

"Send someone to interrogate Old Captain, and use all means to find out what he is planning."

Mr. Su was giving instructions in a cold voice while sitting in his seat.

After finishing speaking, it seemed that there was still a lot to say, but after being silent for a long time, he just cursed suddenly:

"Damn it, you bitch, the stick raised by your grandson, the old and immortal Sea Turtle..."

"..."

"It's not surprising that something like this happens. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

Professor Bai sat on the seat on the other side, laughed and said, "Now, it is time to test our preparations."

"Are Gaoqiang No. 1, 4, and 7 overfrequency ion cannons ready?"

At the same time, in the temporary combat command room not far away from Donghai Hotel, Minister Shen looked angry:

"In addition, except for those with abilities, all irrelevant personnel should withdraw immediately. At the same time, a special investigation team is sent to hand over to me a report on the monster's mental level, pollution logic, and what level of treatment methods should be used to deal with it."

Through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, he could clearly see Donghai Hotel, who was only a thousand meters away at this time, and he could also see a twisted and writhing spiritual power there. This was a powerful spiritual power that they could not even imagine before.

The Crimson Moon light in the sky was shining, and he even gradually saw clearly the appearance of that mass of spiritual power.

His men, at this time, had quickly packed up the information at hand and prepared to retreat.

After all, the mental power is terrifying visible to the naked eye, and the safety of the commander cannot be guaranteed at a distance of one thousand meters.

However, during the close and orderly retreat, there were also people who anxiously issued Minister Shen's orders. At the same time, they continued to receive the investigation reports sent back by Special Task Force, and then reported to the angry lion-like Minister Shen beside him:

"The investigation report is very strange. The other party's mental level is constantly increasing..."

"When the first report was handed over, there were only about a thousand..."

"But in the second and third emergency reports, the spiritual level has reached three thousand, or even seven thousand..."

"At this rate, it will exceed level 10,000 in a short period of time."

"..."

"Ten thousand levels."

Minister Shen, who was striding out of the temporary command center, paused for a moment and clenched his fists hard.

Then he turned around with a cold expression and whispered, "No matter who's spiritual level, it is impossible to get it out of thin air..."

"How did he increase?"

"..."

"From the current point of view, it seems like it appeared out of thin air..."

There were three staff members receiving reports from various places, their faces pale. "I can only guess, this may be..."

"Maybe it's related to the previously captured abnormality?"

"..."

"No matter who it concerns."

Minister Shen gritted his teeth and said, "A Mental Monster that exceeds 10,000 levels appears in Qinggang. This is a disaster. I want you to calculate immediately. What level of standard ion cannon is needed to solve it? Can it be solved immediately?"

"Theoretically, about ten units of ion cannons can take care of it."

"Then prepare twelve for me."

Minister Shen shouted and looked back.

Under Crimson Moon, the Mental Monster next to the high-rise building Donghai Hotel has become increasingly clear.

You can even directly see his tall and suffocating figure, as well as the red hood on his body.

Under the red hood, there is a pale human face. Unlike Mental Monster, which caused hallucinations before, it has almost no appearance that is incompatible with human characteristics. But what is even more difficult to understand is that Minister Shen found that he could actually see it directly...

"Is it because I'm too close?"

Just looking at it, I felt as if my soul was being sucked away, and all kinds of distracting thoughts came out of my heart.

"Prepare four more units!"

Minister Shen turned back and ordered to the secretary beside him, "Mr. Su As soon as they leave the danger range, fire immediately."

"Ding Lingling..."

But at this moment, the wireless phone held by the secretary suddenly rang.

The secretary immediately picked it up and handed it to Minister Shen: "It's Professor Bai."

"Sea Nation's attack has begun. They started planning more than a month ago. There are many mutants in the city now."

Professor Bai said immediately the moment Minister Shen took the call.

Minister Shen strode down the stairs and said:

"Targeted treatment has been carried out, and most of the mutants have been sent to the quarantine area."

"What I want to know now is, what is that red monster?"

"..."

"You can also see it directly?"

Professor Bai was silent for a moment and said, "That is the spiritual body left behind after Sea Nation S-level ability user committed suicide."

"What are you going to do about it now?"

"How to deal with it?"

Minister Shen's words were full of anger and mania. "Of course, prepare a high-frequency ion cannon. Let's try blasting him twice first!"

"Get rid of this idea."

Professor Bai said, "The operating principle of the high-frequency ion cannon is the same as that of the standard weapon used by Special Task Force. If it can be injured, then the previous Special Task Force can successfully destroy it, but it turns out that it does not have much effect on it."

"In addition, it would be too variable to directly use such crude and direct methods without understanding the specific logical chain."

"..."

Minister Shen listened, his face a little gloomy. "What if it is adjusted to overclocking state?"

"What if we prepare twenty units?"

"..."

Professor Bai was startled for a moment, then said, "It's not that far yet, don't always think about bombing something..."

"I have compiled the relevant data of this Mental Monster and made a preliminary analysis. I can draw the following conclusions:"

"1. This Mental Monster was caused by the S-level ability user Sea Nation. This ability user has been confirmed dead, but instead of dissipating, his spiritual power has continued to increase. It is now close to the ten thousand level, but it has not yet reached the limit."

"2. This incident can be confirmed to be a premeditated suicide attack by Sea Nation on Qinggang City. Its purpose is most likely to cause an immeasurable blow to Qinggang through this death-seeking S-level ability user and create conditions for Sea Nation to land."

"3. Without knowing the specific pollution logic of this S-class ability user and Sea Nation's layout in Qinggang, choosing to use ion cannons and other forced annihilation methods to deal with this Mental Monster is likely to cause changes beyond our expectations. After all, Old Captain of Sea Nation understands Qinggang's defense measures and cannot leave such a big flaw."

"..."

Minister Shen listened patiently to what he said, and when he got into the carriage, he immediately said, "I need you to give specific suggestions."

Professor Bai said, "I have three suggestions. Interrogate Sea Nation Old Captain, wait for the investigation results, and..."

"Consider activating the Unconventional Emergency Defense Plan I proposed."

"..."

Minister Shen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and whispered, "Okay."

But he seemed to agree with Professor Bai's suggestion. After putting down the phone, he hesitated slightly and said to the secretary beside him:

"I'm still a little worried..."

"... I'd better increase the capability of the high-frequency ion cannon to twenty units, and be ready to adjust it to the overclocking state at any time!"

"..."

"Buzz" "Buzz" "Buzz"

All functional departments in Qinggang are already running like clockwork.

Lu Xin, who was located next to the temporary isolation area in the east of the city, felt a headache and dizziness.

That is the red cloak Mental Monster, which is a hundred meters high next to Donghai Hotel. Its body is getting clearer and clearer.

There were fluctuations of spiritual power visible to the naked eye, which were constantly being emitted.

Every time it was emitted, people screamed and groaned in pain around them.

Many people knelt on the ground in despair as soon as the fluctuations in spiritual power were released.

At the same time, in the isolation area, those who were shouting and protesting because of the unreasonable treatment they received changed their expressions one by one. Lu Xin saw that the human expressions on their faces were disappearing, but on them, the monsters one by one suddenly had vivid expressions, becoming surprised and weird, and rushing forward.

The direction they are flocking to is exactly the direction Donghai Hotel.

There are at least thousands of people in this quarantine area, and now they are rushing forward like a black tide.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Armed soldiers who set up a cordon outside the quarantine area opened fire when they rushed over.

As the fire sprayed, the people in front fell one by one.

But Lu Xin noticed that when they fell, the Mental Monster on their bodies did not disappear, but continued to rush forward.

While rushing, he fought with the Mental Monster on the people around him.

You grabbed me, I pulled you, and then the flesh was like mucus, and as the fighting became more intense, it gradually melted together.

The faster these people are killed, the faster they fuse together.

Not only them, but outside the quarantine area, in the office buildings, shopping malls, or residential buildings that were rising from the ground, there were also tragic and painful howls. They were all mutants who had been hiding before and had not been captured or driven to the quarantine area. At this time, they had the same changes as the people in the quarantine area and rushed towards Donghai Hotel.

Because this desire is so obvious, many people jump directly from the upstairs.

It's like making dumplings.

And in the places they passed by, those residents who didn't know why were also affected by some strange effects.

Some had painful expressions on their faces, while others had confused eyes, like zombies.

"Woo..."

A heavy and loud siren sounded throughout the city.

This is Level 1 alert for the whole city.

To be honest, Old Ghost from the production team has worked very hard...
