"Detection team 1 is missing!"
"Group 2 lost contact!"
"Three groups of defense lines retreated 1 kilometer!"
"A total of 62,751 civilians were evacuated from the XC area, and 15,394 people were missing!"
Jiang Yingtai stood in the chaotic crowd, listening to his secretary's report on the battle situation. One team after another lost contact, but no useful information was brought back, which made his mood gradually sink to the bottom.
This is a war without smoke.
There was not even any sound, no enemy could be seen, only the unstoppable white mist swept in firmly and slowly, swallowing everything it enveloped.
Jiang Yingtai held up the psychic observer. In his eyes, the white fog a kilometer away turned into a raging psychic wave.
The blue-purple spiritual energy is shining with a dreamlike luster, spreading like a tide, and it won't be long before the position in front of you is completely swallowed up by it.
This is a realm, a realm that is constantly growing.
No one knows where its limit is, but judging from the current expansion rate, it won't be long before this line of defense will be swallowed up by it.
By then, the scope of the fog expansion will exceed the maximum encirclement that the Special Affairs Bureau can achieve.
This means that when it continues to expand, the Special Affairs Bureau does not even have enough manpower to evacuate the people around it in an orderly manner.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yingtai said to the secretary beside him: "Organize another group of death squads, tie iron ropes around each of their waists, and pull them back the moment they submerge in the white mist."
They had previously sent out robot dogs and drones in an attempt to detect the reality inside the white fog. However, all the robot dogs and drones never returned, and the signals were also isolated.
I used a pole to pass in the recording equipment, but only a white mist was recorded.
Now it seems that the soldiers under his command can only risk their lives once.
The secretary received Jiang Yingtai's order and immediately started arranging the death squad.
There were a total of 10 people, all of whom were wearing isolation suits specific to the Special Affairs Bureau, with iron ropes tied around their waists, and then they walked towards Baiwu at the same time under the command of the commander.
Everyone looked nervously at the ten people walking away, straightening their steps, watching them enter the danger zone.
Watching them begin to touch the mist,
Seeing them half submerged in the mist,
Watch them lift their feet and take the last step into the thick fog!
"pull!"
Following Jiang Yingtai's order, the machine connected to the ten iron ropes suddenly started, and the iron ropes instantly straightened.
However, the next second, the straight iron rope suddenly broke and was pulled back suddenly under the huge pulling force.
"Get out of the way!"
The secretary shouted and rushed towards Jiang Yingtai. The iron rope scraped a cut on Jiang Yingtai's face and was thrown to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and a long and narrow crack was pulled out of the asphalt road by the iron cable.
Jiang Yingtai seemed to feel no pain. He pushed the secretary away and ran to the broken iron rope to look at it carefully.
The metal noose was as thick as a thumb, and the fracture showed a state of melting and then solidifying, and there was a black oxide layer on the surface that was about to fall off, as if it had suddenly encountered high temperature and then cooled rapidly.
But when those ten people first came into contact with the white mist, they didn't seem to be burning at all.
The iron chain was broken only after they all walked into the mist.
At that moment, Jiang Yingtai had several speculations running through his mind. The mist did not trigger the melting effect only on dead objects. This could be proven by the clothes on the suicide squad members or the video equipment that had been thrown in and pulled out before. .
Obviously, someone didn't want them to get the real information in the thick fog, so they melted the iron rope.
Secondly, the people behind this thick fog hope to swallow more people!
In other words, "living people" are of high value to people behind the thick fog! Otherwise, he could have used this high-temperature melting method to burn the suicide squad members to ashes instead of putting them in and getting stuck and melting the iron locks.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yingtai immediately said to the secretary: "Order everyone to closely observe the movement of the dense fog and be sure to keep a distance of about one kilometer. In addition, urge the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the evacuation of all residents in the XC area."
The secretary saluted and said yes, and Jiang Yingtai asked again: "Where is the zeroing team now?"
The Zeroing Force is a team composed entirely of awakened people formed by Jiang Yingtai himself. He was selected from the army after a rift appeared in the sky.
But as the defense minister of City No. 18, Jiang Yingtai did not particularly trust this group of people. In other words, they don't trust their current state. At least until the Secret Service fully figured out what psychic powers were, he had taken very strict precautions against the members of the Zero Force.
This group of people has always been imprisoned by him in a secret base for training, and will not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Even for their daily life of eating, drinking and eating, they are not allowed to leave the base. They are guarded by professionals and provided with supplies.
But looking at it now, ordinary soldiers have completely lost their operational value in the face of this fog. Continuing to send people to investigate may actually play into the enemy's hands.
The time has come when this destabilizing force has to be used.
The secretary turned on the AP bracelet projection, and an aerial view of City No. 18 was displayed. On this picture, there are 7 red dots that are moving quickly.
"They're coming!"
Before he finished speaking, a whirlwind suddenly blew across the entire fortification site, and then a white-haired woman wearing a silver tights rode the hurricane down from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the ground next to Jiang Yingtai rose, and a large amount of soil automatically gathered and condensed into a human figure. The clay figure slowly turned into a middle-aged uncle as it twisted.
Finally, the air twisted, and a black crack appeared out of thin air. Three men and two women emerged from the crack one after another.
Four men and three women, a total of seven people, stood in a row wearing uniform silver tights and saluted Jiang Yingtai——
The purple-haired woman who opened the space rift took a step forward: "Zero, report to the commander! There should be seven people in the Zero team, but there are actually seven people. Please give instructions!"
Jiang Yingtai glanced at the faces of the seven people one by one with an expressionless expression. In addition to uniform clothing, each of these seven people had a metal collar around their neck.
It contained high-density explosives powerful enough to blow up a two-story building.
"The situation is urgent, so I won't talk too much."
Jiang Yingtai turned around, pointed at the thick fog not far away, and said resolutely: "There is a realm ahead. I want the seven of you to go in together. As long as you capture the realm master inside alive, I will give you your freedom!"
"From now on, you can move around City 18 at will, go home to visit your parents, and live in this city like ordinary people."
Jiang Yingtai's eyes swept across everyone's eyes: "The premise is to capture this guy who is pretending to be a ghost in the thick fog alive!"
