Invade the World

   Chapter 350 Good morning, city of giant whales

   When Xu Xiangyang woke up from the bed, it was about seven in the morning the next day.

   He rubbed his sleepy eyes, his brain had not fully recovered, and stared dazedly at the clock hanging on the wall in front of the big bed.

"…It's still early."

   A little light shone through the gaps in the closed curtains, quietly reflecting on the ground. The light is not dazzling, but very soft, not golden, but light blue like water waves.

   Even if you don't need to open the curtains, you can feel that this is an ordinary quiet morning, and the atmosphere of tranquility and serenity enveloped the whole room.

"last night…"

Xu Xiangyang felt as if he had had a nightmare, and still has a thrilling feeling. His deep intuition is like an alarm bell, and his heart is as sad as someone grabs it. This dream probably occurred at two or three in the morning. It happened when I was tossing and turning; but now I recall it, but I can't remember anything.

   This is a common occurrence.

  Xu Xiangyang put on his coat, put on shoes and socks, left the big bed, walked into the bathroom, yawned, brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth in front of the mirror, washed his face and dressed.

   "Will there be breakfast, such a good hotel must have. I don't know what breakfast will be, bread sandwiches or the like? I still prefer buns and fritters, or pickled vegetables or something..."

   He put his hand on the doorknob and was about to push the door out. But at this moment, he seemed to remember something, turned around and walked back to the floor-to-ceiling window, preparing to open the thick curtain to welcome the sunshine of the new day.

   And right after this action, Xu Xiangyang was stunned.

"what is happening?"

  The boy raised his head and stared blankly at the sky. He muttered to himself as if he was dreaming.

   Maybe it’s because the scene in front of you is also dreamlike:

There is a huge fish-shaped monster floating in the sky. It looks like a whale that often appears in pictures but is rarely seen in person, but it is not covered with the smooth skin of a mammal, but a hard case like burnt wood. , and showing a cloudy lacquer black.

The whole body of the black whale is shrouded in mist; in the mist, tentacles fluttering like forests and layers of scales can be vaguely seen; where it swims, ripples spread out in circles, and the invisible air is in the air. It was as if the water had become clear at this moment.

  …It’s Xiao An.

   He should have been used to the appearance of this monster, but the problem is—

   "One, two, three, four...seven, eight, nine...wait, is that black spot over there? Well, it seems so, eleven, twelve..."

   Too many.

As the so-called "climbing and looking into the distance", standing in this place - standing in the top-floor room of this hotel with the highest building area in the center of the city, looking into the distance through the window glass, Xu Xiangyang saw Xiao An with more than double digits. .

  The distance between the monsters and the hotel is different, the position in the air is different, and the size is slightly different.

   The nearest giant whale, flapping its tail, swam leisurely by the exterior wall of the hotel, Xu Xiangyang watched the illusory outline like soap bubbles bulging on the wall of his room;

   The furthest one is circled by the red flag at the top of the government office building a few blocks away on the opposite side, shimmering in the sun;

   Some even fell over the streets below, passing through red street lights, cars and houses, and even the small half of the body "sunk" directly into the asphalt...

  In this area alone, Xiao An who is swimming in the air has roughly counted more than ten; this is far from the end.

  Because, on the other side of the blue sky, there are countless black spots floating, big and small; monsters from other worlds are wandering over the city.

  —As you can imagine, the entire Jinjiang City has become a city of giant whales.

  Xu Xiangyang couldn't understand. He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Some time ago, Lin Xingjie and Zhu Qingyue had a big fight. Even though she exerted her full strength, she was able to control two Xiao An at the same time. The jaw-dropping scene in front of her was obviously far beyond her original ability, even more than she did last night. The storm that can swept through the city when the ability is out of control is a hundred times more outrageous.

  The people in the city seem to be living under a huge lake; as long as you look up, you can see the giant underwater beasts swimming among the tall buildings.

  The end of the world, the destroyed city... These words are really not exaggerations. Imagine a little, as long as the lake above people's heads pours down at a certain moment, the entire city of giant whales will naturally be destroyed.

  Xu Xiangyang, who was at a loss, suddenly felt that the surrounding sky was dark.

   He subconsciously raised his neck and looked up, trying his best to look at the scene outside the window.

  The boy held his breath.

  —It came into view, and it was a shadow that was even bigger than a hundred little Ancestors combined.

   No matter how desperately the person standing on the ground raised his head, he could only see a part of the abdomen belonging to the giant beast, where countless tentacles grew densely and fluttered in the wind.

   This scene can't help but remind Xu Xiangyang of some huge banyan trees growing in the tropical rain forest that he once saw in a natural science program on TV. There may be as many as thousands of hanging "air roots" growing down from its branches. After falling into the ground, they will become "pillar roots". The spectacle of a single tree forming a forest.

And this one slowly swims over the city, like the belly of a monster hanging from the sky, there is a huge canopy like a banyan tree forest, but the position is reversed, it builds a giant tree that spreads from one end of the sky to the other. Then gloomy.

  No wonder you can't even see the sun...

  The monster that covered the sky blocked the sun on his back, and the continuous cloudy cloud was like a curtain that fell from the depths of the sky, drifting across the land where the streets and the buildings were intertwined.

  Xu Xiangyang covered his forehead.

   He felt dizzy, gritted his teeth and insisted not to let himself give up thinking.

   The state of being at a loss continued for a while, and Xu Xiangyang tried his best to calm down. He turned around quickly and ran out of the room.

  *

   Inside the Monitoring Division of the Jinjiang City Countermeasures Department.

   If the atmosphere of this place used to be hectic, it is downright hectic now, with people rushing to and fro through the narrow passages, and the staff around the screens, big and small, like ants on a hot pan.

  The entire underground archive room was full of boiling water, and even without instrumentation, everyone could observe the terrifying vision that swept through and was about to engulf the entire city with the naked eye.

  The recent attacks that occurred in various places after large-scale radio interference were nothing in the face of the huge swarms of whales that now spread over the city.

"The large-scale evil spirits that have appeared in the city... The numbers are constantly fluctuating, and it is difficult to count accurate data. We decided to assign people to various urban areas to conduct visual inspections. It is estimated that more than 500 individuals have appeared, and they are still growing. !"

   "The largest individual appeared near the Central Garden Hotel. The length of the body... All measuring instruments cannot give accurate results, but according to visual inspection, it is at least four kilometers away!"

  The temporary office in the corner of the archives is the only place that can be called quiet. While listening to the reports coming from outside, Zhou Xingjian folded his hands, held his chin, and stared at the table in front of him with bated breath.

   He is waiting.

   Ten minutes later, with a slippery sound, an eyeball appeared on the desk.

   really grows. The living ones will look left and right, turn east and west, black and white, and belong to human eyeballs, but they are obviously several times larger than ordinary people's eyeballs.

   Next to this eyeball, two smaller eyeballs have also proliferated. The three eyeballs are placed together, the solid wood table is full of dense capillaries and neural networks, and the connective tissue hanging under the eyeballs is connected to the drawer.

  The flesh and blood grow and spread wantonly from the wood, like a fungus growing on the tree, and the strange scene is chilling.

   But Zhou Xingjian seemed to be relieved. He carefully twisted one of the gathered nerve fibers with the **** of one hand, and the bright red silk thread wriggled like life, crawling into the man's nails.

"It's ok?"

   For a moment, he widened his eyes in astonishment,

   "How can this situation be said to be okay-"

   Zhou Xingjian stood up abruptly. The office was empty, and he seemed to be talking to someone who didn't exist.

After    half a sound, the old policeman sat back on the chair again.

   "...Really, I got it."

   He sighed and pinched his brows. Next, he called different people separately.

   "Xiao Shi, are you ready? You can do it anytime? Well, hold on and wait for the signal... Yes, it will be an unexpected big scene, but the central side means to proceed as originally planned."

   "Officer Li, regarding the rescue operation, you need to actively cooperate with our people... Well, don't worry, the current situation is still under our control."

   The moving eyeballs did not disappear, but moved upstream from the table to the floor, walls and ceiling, and finally disappeared.

  …

   Zhou Xingjian closed his eyes, sorted out his thoughts, then walked out of the office and came to the center of the hall.

   The old policeman clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention, and he didn't speak until the noise in the archives gradually calmed down.

   "South of the Beidou River Bank in Xihe District and Jinyuan District, along National Highway 351 to the High-tech Development Zone in the east of the city, have the mass evacuation work started at these locations?"

   "It's all on the way."

   One of the staff replied, and he asked hesitantly:

"However, all those who decided to evacuate were located in the outskirts of the city. Now the signs of evil spirits' activities are all over the city, and they are even seen by some non-psychic people. In addition, the city center has a large population... We really don't need to sound the alarm. City alarm?"

   At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on Zhou Xing Fitness as a leader.

   The current abnormal situation in Jinjiang City is obviously beyond the scope of the local department's ability to solve, and more than one person has doubts and panic.

Ordinary evil spirits, even monsters born in haunted houses, no matter how ferocious and weird, are still within their understanding; but after waking up, monsters are floating everywhere in the city sky, like aliens in science fiction movies In the face of the shocking scene of the massive invasion of the earth, the past experience seems to have become nothing.

  How to deal with this situation? Even if you want to send people to drive them away, you can't do it, because the scale is too large, not to mention the giant beast with a body length of several kilometers that slowly swims in the city center. Or psychic mediums, doomed to do nothing in front of them, just as weak and powerless as ordinary people who encounter evil spirits.

   This kind of powerlessness not only makes people feel hated, but also brings deep confusion.

   Facing the eyes of everyone, Zhou Xingjian thought about it and decided to give a brief explanation without concealing it.

   "The supernatural phenomenon affecting the whole city is most likely caused by the activities of divine media."

   There was an uproar from below. Although almost everyone has guessed this possibility, there are only a few single-digit records of divine media activities around the world. So far, there have been only a few wars that are well-known in the industry, whether they are seen on paper or It sounds very distant from the mouths of others, like a story that happened in another world, no one thought it would happen to them one day.

   In other words, what happened today is destined to go down in history, and everyone present will become a participant in this major historical event.

   After waiting patiently for his subordinates to digest the news, Zhou Xingjian spoke up again.

   "Don't worry, everyone, the sky is falling and there are tall people on it. The most important thing now is that everyone performs their duties and is ready to accept new orders at any time. Do you understand?"

"clear!"
