In the same hospital, the morgue is already filled with corpses. These corpses are all relatively complete corpses. Those that have exploded cannot be sent to the hospital for cremation and can only be disposed of on the spot.
At this time, Zhang Zimo's body was pushed into the cremator by the staff. Cremators were installed in the morgues of major hospitals a long time ago.
As Zhang Zimo's body was cremated, a yellow light lit up inside his chest. Through the flesh and blood, you could see that the yellow light emitted was a yellow crystal. The yellow light emitted by this crystal gradually spread all over Zhang Zimo's body. , then, the crystals became smaller and smaller, and they all turned into yellow light and scattered inside Zhang Zimo's body.
After Zhang Zimo's body was burned by the flames, it turned into bursts of black smoke. This black smoke penetrated the steel plate of the cremator and floated upward. This black smoke was similar to the black smoke emitted from the group of ghosts in mourning clothes on the street just now. Black smoke is the same!
At this time, in an office in a special high-rise building in Cangzhou Base City, a middle-aged man who was dealing with the incident of ghosts in the city suddenly raised his head, frowning slightly, and looked at a light-up light on his desk. There was a red light, and then he took out a jade plaque from somewhere, with bursts of white light flashing on it.
Then, after the middle-aged man closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, he jumped out of the window and headed towards Zhang Zimo Hospital.
The red light that lights up on his desk means that there is a new ghost energy in the city, which means that new ghosts are being formed, and the jade card in his hand is missing.
The middle-aged man flew extremely fast, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
At this time in the hospital, Zhang Zimo's body had been burned. When the staff opened the cremator, they frowned slightly because Zhang Zimo's ashes were black and most people's ashes were gray, but the staff did not Please take care of yourself, this world is already so strange, ghosts have appeared, and it is no longer strange that the ashes are black.
Afterwards, after he installed Zhang Zimo's ashes, he began to incinerate the next body.
At this time, on the rooftop of the hospital, the black smoke from the burning of Zhang Zimo's body was gathering. The black smoke slowly gathered, and then gradually formed Zhang Zimo's face, and his body gradually formed, but at this time Zhang Zimo His body was transparent and he had no clothes. Zhang Zimo looked at his current state in confusion. He felt very confused.
He glanced at his arm, and he could see the stone slabs on the ground through his arm. Zhang Zimo's condition was also very unstable now, and black smoke was still emitting from his body, but Zhang Zimo could stand firm, but his body was still It was transparent, and he found that he was also floating in the air, and he found that he didn't even need to breathe in his current state!
He didn't know what was going on with his current situation, and he felt a little panicked in his heart.
He only remembered that he died in Tang Lanyue's arms in the end, but what was going on with him now? !
"Didn't I die? Why am I alive again now?"
He took another look at his current state and looked at the black smoke emanating from his body. He immediately felt that the black smoke was similar to the ghostly aura emanating from the ghost that was chasing them not long ago. When he thought of this, Zhang Zimo's His spirit began to panic, his body gradually lost control a little bit, more ghost energy was exuded from his body, and there were cracks in the wall on the roof of the building.
"Am I turning into a ghost? No, no, I would rather die than turn into a ghost. I don't want to hurt humans!" Zhang Zimo's spirit lost control again, and his body floating in the air became unstable.
At this time, there was a meteor flying towards him from the horizon.
Zhang Zimo knew that the night watchman was coming. He didn't want to escape, so he wanted to be killed by the night watchman who came over, because once he turned into a ghost, he would not have independent consciousness and would turn into a fool and wander aimlessly. , he would attack and kill any creature with life functions he encountered. He did not want to become such a person after his death.
In an instant, the night watchman came to the roof of the hospital and stood in front of Zhang Zimo. Looking at Zhang Zimo's current state, he frowned slightly and did not take action immediately. He saw that Zhang Zimo was also looking at him, without attacking him, with a look in his eyes. His brows were both relaxed and furrowed when there were still human emotions in his expression.
Seeing that the night watchman did not take action immediately, Zhang Zimo couldn't wait any longer and said: "Sir, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill me. I don't want to turn into the ghost I hate most and kill after I die." Human beings, please kill me while I still have my original consciousness and haven’t caused any killings!”
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Zhang Zimo, shook his head slightly and said: "I can tell you that ghosts do not have autonomous consciousness, even for newly born ghosts. There has never been a ghost with autonomous consciousness. , not even a moment passed, just like the mourning band ghosts that appeared in the city not long ago. They were also formed just now. After formation, they had no consciousness at all. They only knew how to kill. They were C-level when they were born, and you are still The lowest level, F level, but you have your own original consciousness, which is very incredible. In other words, you can be said to be a human now, because you have your own original consciousness, which can also be said to be a human being. A ghost, because you are a ghost in your current state.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man gradually smiled, his brows widened, and he smiled and said, "Maybe your parents didn't expect that the means left to you to save your life would actually have such incredible consequences."
Zhang Zimo found the keyword in the words in an instant, looked at the middle-aged man with a shocked face, and asked: "Do you know my parents?!"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "This is not a place for chatting. You can come with me first."
After saying that, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand, and Zhang Zimo seemed to be controlled by some strange means, and then he flew up and flew away into the distance.
Zhang Zimo's mind was in chaos now. So many shocking things had happened in such a short period of time. His heart couldn't calm down for a long time, even though he had no heart at the moment.
Soon after, Zhang Zimo was taken to a secret room by the middle-aged man.
Zhang Zimo immediately looked at the middle-aged man eagerly and asked: "Uncle, do you know my parents?!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Not only do we know each other, we were good brothers and comrades who fought side by side in the past. My name is Xu Ruian, and you can call me Uncle Xu."
Zhang Zimo now knows that he is still alive all because of his parents.
Xu Ruian looked at Zhang Zimo and said: "It's too troublesome for you to ask me questions. In your current state, it is impossible to be an ordinary person. The only way is to join our night watchmen or night hunters. Then you We need to know about this terrifying resurgence."
Zhang Zimo nodded and said: "I know about this terrifying resurgence. My parents told me something before. Sixty-eight years ago, that is, in the spring of 2023, a group of people appeared in many cities or towns in many countries on Blue Star. A strange black smoke enveloped the sky. Not long after, a strange creature appeared, that is, a ghost. All of them were unconscious and could not speak. They only knew how to kill. When they felt the breath of a living person, they would After the killing, all life was devastated. No human or animal survived. On that day, more than 200 million people died. Many cities were captured by ghosts. These ghosts only exist in the dark night. Once exposed to sunlight, they will be destroyed. They will disappear in place, and when night falls, they will reappear in the same place where they disappeared during the day. Those ghosts sometimes kill their own kind. As long as they enter their territory, in their consciousness, they will kill anything alive. , you will also kill anything that enters your territory.”
"The government thought about fighting back, but neither guns nor cannons could cause any harm to the ghosts, not even a little bit. Then humans deployed the most powerful nuclear weapons. Even if the nuclear weapons destroyed a city, nuclear radiation enveloped the entire ruins. , the ghosts in the ruins still exist, and since then, human beings have been in despair, waiting for the extinction of human beings."
"After the killing lasted for half a month, people gradually discovered something, a way to allow humans to continue to survive. These ghosts were unwilling to go to places with strong magnetic fields, and were not even willing to get close. People discovered After this news, everyone desperately went to places with strong magnetic fields, and the governments of many countries also quickly sent scientific researchers to build huge magnetic field protection barriers to cover the cities. Government personnel first increased the intensity of the magnetic field in the city, The ghosts in the city were driven out, and then the magnetic field protection barrier was used to cover the city, making the ghosts unwilling to approach the city with the magnetic field protection barrier. Since then, the rate of human casualties has slowed down. This killing lasted for more than half a month. , causing the death of more than three billion humans, many small countries were invaded by ghosts, and no one survived, becoming a purgatory on earth."
"After that, many countries thought of using magnetic fields to drive away ghosts in their own countries, but the stored ore was finished. Only by continuing to mine ore can we continue to make magnetic field protection barriers. But when people from various countries went to mine ore, At that time, it was discovered that the ores in every huge mineral vein did not have a magnetic field. This became an unsolved mystery for a century. The ores that have not been mined around the world did not have a magnetic field. The ores with magnetic fields became the world's most important thing. The most important resource in the world, every gram is crucial. Scientific researchers no longer dare to touch those ores at will. This pattern has been formed. Those cities with magnetic field protection barriers are the last cities in every country. , which is now the base city.”
"As ghost energy invades the world, in 2025, another special gas sweeps across the world. Gradually, this special gas infects humans, causing some people to mutate, and a mysterious area in their minds is developed. , this kind of people whose brains were developed by special gases awakened different abilities. They were called divine awakeners, and most of the divine awakeners joined the night watchmen to protect the safety of human base cities, and then gradually formed The current situation.”
