Human Light Umbrella

"Also... let's go."

"it is good."

After finishing their conversation, the two cooperated again and headed downwards.

When they reached the area 45 meters above the surface where the workers had been active, they finally found some abnormalities.

Here is the automatic recycling plant responsible for the treatment of sewage.

But in the outer tunnel where the two of them were located, the sewage had almost stopped flowing, and the color was green and yellow, similar to the worker's vomit.

Even if you don't take off the mask, you can guess how disgusting the smell will be just by looking at the appearance here.

"Um..."

Ada squatted halfway on the edge of the sidewalk, observing the situation of the sewage at a close distance, and then looked at the closed gate in front of her. She murmured, and said to Leon standing beside her:

"Lyon, those workers just repaired here today."

"Correct."

Leon, who was also looking at the gate, responded lightly, but what he was staring at was the surveillance camera set up above the gate.

Moreover, the screen of his mask, after marking the surveillance camera with his gaze, was scanned and the result was "damaged".

After receiving this information, Leon reached out and patted Ada's right shoulder, motioning her to get up and be on guard, and said in a low voice:

"It seems that someone deliberately sabotaged the maintenance achievements of the workers, gradually paralyzed the underground system of Area 04 and even the entire city, and then tried to spread some kind of virus or bacteria, or even a microbial weapon."

heard.

Ada got up with a serious expression and grabbed the pistol, followed behind Leon, and walked slowly to the end of the road where they were, approaching the automatic door that could lead to the inside of the factory.

Come to the door.

The automatic door was tightly closed, and the terminal screen on the right wall also showed a red light, which meant that the automatic door was also locked manually.

Seeing all this, Leon became even more convinced of the abnormal events facing Arcadia, leaning towards his previous speculation.

So Leon shook his left hand to Ada, signaling for her to be alert to her surroundings and help cover her.

Lyon, on the other hand, took out the intelligence officer's exclusive mobile phone, uploaded the latest discovered information, and notified the Krieg 087 Regiment stationed on the northernmost side of the city, so that the 087 Regiment could prepare for possible battles.

After completing the operation of uploading the information and notifying the 087 Regiment, Leon put the mobile phone next to the terminal to crack the automatic door.

In less than ten seconds, the screen of the terminal turned from red to green, indicating that the mobile phone successfully unlocked the automatic door.

Seeing that everything was going well, Leon took back his phone, but his expression behind the mask became more serious, and then he looked behind him from the corner of the eye and reminded:

"Ada, the situation in the factory is unknown, so for the next action, we will try our best to continue to obtain information without exposing ourselves, and the degree of danger is also unknown, so be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry." Ada raised her hand and gently brushed her scattered bangs, her tone was calm, and she smiled confidently at Leon:

"We've been partners for decades, what kind of anomaly have we two never seen before? Open the door, rookie."

"Yes."

Affected by Ada's words, Leon also smiled and sighed, clenched his right hand without any hesitation, and touched the screen of the terminal forcefully.

"Shua-."

With the sound of the automatic door opening, the two of them grabbed their firearms and entered the factory unimpeded.

The inner walkway is narrower, but the structure separated from the drainage channel makes the two of them not have to worry about the possibility of falling into the sewage.

When passing the sidewalk with large observation windows on both sides, they found that the sewage pool below the window was even more turbid.

Such a rancid environment attracted a large number of mosquitoes circling, and densely packed small, white insect egg sheaths hung on the wall of the pool.

Even the pavement next to the cesspool has started to have massive holes, like carrion fungal plants... or creatures.

Leon and Ada, who were half squatting behind the window, observed carefully again, and saw a rotting creature that looked like a "fish" but was covered with pustules and wriggling tentacles, swimming in the muddy sewage.

Coupled with the "fungus" that has countless flying insects coming in and out, even the two people who have experienced many battles have the urge to vomit after seeing this.

Enduring the discomfort, the two got up and continued to move forward, leaving the aisle that had too much visual impact.

The two people who walked through the factory also found that all the machines for filtering sewage in the factory were out of service, and there were still traces of cleaning in many areas.

At last.

The two walked through the entire factory unimpeded, and came to the exit at the end, in front of an automatic door marked with the words "Leading to a large drain".

Leon repeated the steps of cracking the terminal, and while waiting, he said to Ada: "The maintenance work is carried out in such an environment, otherwise the guy at the bar will be so seriously ill."

Ada nodded in response, and said, "Lyon, the pollution below is so serious, it's impossible for the higher-ups in Area 04 to not know about it."

"You mean..." Leon turned to Ada and said, "Is there a problem with the senior management in District 04?"

"This possibility is not ruled out." Ada expressed her speculation:

"Arcadia is far away from the human center, and the communication will also be delayed to varying degrees due to the fluctuation of the fault space. The company and UEG cannot monitor the situation here in the first place.

Once the Public Security Bureau prepares for a large-scale investigation, the cases of disappearances and deaths will decrease extremely rapidly. Combined with everything we have just seen, then everything can be straightened out. "

"Well, you're right."

Leon, who agrees with Ada, sees the terminal screen turn green, so he uses his mobile phone to upload information about possible problems with the top management of District 04 to the company and the Krieg 087 regiment.

After getting ready.

The two opened the automatic door and walked out of the factory into a more spacious tunnel.

Moreover, due to the outage of the factory, the water level of the sewage was significantly lower than that of the tunnel above.

When they reached the "t" corner at the end, they heard someone talking on the left, so the two slowed down, approached the stop warning at the corner, and listened carefully to the conversation.

"Sleepy, after work during the day, I still have to come here to stand guard at night, alas..." Only one guard complained.

"Be patient, it won't be long before we don't need to hide underground. By then, we will let the whole of Arcadia understand what true kindness and generosity are!"

Another guard began to persuade, his tone became more and more crazy, as if he had an extreme and pathological belief in something.

Leon frowned when he heard the key words "kindness" and "generosity", because he had dealt with too many similar things, and suddenly felt that this abnormal event might be far beyond his and Ada's imagination.

Immediately, he took out a "metal ball" smaller than an egg from the small tactical bag tied on his belt and perfectly covered by his shirt.

Leon pressed the red button of the metal ball and lightly placed it on the edge of the corner.

Immediately afterwards, the screen of the mask showed a wave that could not be observed by the naked eye, centered on the metal ball, and quickly rushed around.

At the same time, the bird's-eye view of the tunnel in the upper right corner of the screen became much clearer, and two red dots were used to mark the two guards who were chatting outside of his and Ada's field of vision.

The pulse wave released by this metal ball is similar to the pulse sweep of Mjolnir and Primarch Power Armor.

But the pulse range is far less than that of the power armor, it can only detect an area with a radius of 35 meters, and it is a one-time equipment.

However, this is enough for Leon and Ada.

Knowing that there were only those two guards nearby, Leon pointed his left hand to the opposite sidewalk and swung it twice to the left of the corner. Ada, who understood the gesture, nodded in response.

The silent conversation is over.

Leon took two steps back, then ran forward fiercely, jumped over the sewage, and jumped to the opposite sidewalk.

? ? ! !

The attention of the two guards was directly attracted by Leon's actions.

But just as the guards were about to raise their pulse rifles and shoot Leon, they saw two "red lights" flashing by.

"Plop." Twice.

The guards didn't know what happened, so they collapsed to the ground, and there was a small, burnt gap between the eyebrows of the two guards.

And the one who killed the guard was Ada, who took advantage of Leon's attention-grabbing gap and took precise aim.

Cooperating with each other to resolve the threat, they hurried to the location of the two corpses.

After examining the corpses, it was found that one of the guards, who was more insane, had the same pale complexion as the workers who vomited in the bar, and there were small pustules on the back of the neck, behind the ears and other parts.

Leon, who uploaded the photo of the corpse and the latest information, stood up, looked at the automatic door leading to the large drainage, and sighed:

"This abnormal event is indeed a contagious disease... a mental and thinking disease."

"Different space?" Ada echoed.

Leon walked towards the terminal on the right side of the automatic door, and said: "The existing information is not enough to prove that it is a different space, but my intuition tells me that the encounter in Arcadia is inseparable from the evil god of the different space. "

"Then how does the company respond?" Ada, who was walking side by side with Leon, asked.

"The White Queen replied that support is already on the way, and the fastest one will arrive in Arcadia in ten hours.

I hope that the severity of the incident will not exceed the expectations of you, me, and the company. "

After Leon finished speaking, he reached out to touch the screen of the terminal and opened the automatic door that had been guarded.

Through the door, they arrived at an elevator used for waiting works, an open structure platform, and a large drainage channel below it.

"Enjoy! This is the nectar from my Lord!"

"Thank you, my Lord!"

"My Lord is merciful!"

There were bursts of carnival sounds from below.

The two of them attached themselves to the back of the fence at the edge of the platform, looked down, and saw that the two sides of the large drainage ditch, which was no different from an underground river, were actually full of people.

A rough scan using the mask screen shows that the number of people is at least over a thousand, and the number is still rising.

These people are of different ages, wear different clothes, have different occupations, and there are even quite a few sheriffs.

What shocked Leon and Ada even more was that these thousands of people were vying for the chance to drink "water"...

Chapter 241 Chaos and Flames

The so-called "drinking water"...

It is the thousands of people who are fighting to drink the sewage in the drain.

The people at the front knelt on their knees, dipped their hands into the sewage as if they had found treasures, and then carefully picked up the green and yellowish corrupt "soup", and poured the "soup" into the water without hesitation. Drank it down.

The people who finished drinking didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, they showed a very satisfied look, and raised their hands, bowed to the drainage ditch where the sewage was flowing, and said something piously...

"Thank you, my Lord, for the gift!"

"My Lord is generous!"

Wait for words about thanking "my Lord".

Leon and Ada, who were secretly observing on the platform, saw the depraved scene below, and could confirm that this incident was definitely inseparable from a certain evil god in a different space.

Instead of suspecting that it is the reason for the plane of hell?

It is the employee level of the two of them, which is enough to consult most of the files, among which the files of the hell plane have been listed as "Hera (second) level" by the company, even lower than some abnormal phenomena on the earth.

Moreover, there was D-1999, so when encountering the situation of crazy believers, the two instinctively ruled out the plane of hell.

Leon, who proved his judgment was correct, immediately uploaded what they saw to the company's network and the Krieg 087 Regiment, and applied for the elite support of the 087 Regiment to wipe out the corrupted "believers" in front of him.

The 087 Regiment, which had no communication delay, gave Leon a reply within a few seconds after receiving the application.

A combat battalion equipped with heavy firepower is expected to arrive at his and Ida's location in 15 minutes.

Moreover, the head of the 087 regiment also stated that follow-up troops will be sent to block the 04 area.

Knowing that the 087 regiment had already started to move, Leon took back his mobile phone and continued to observe below.

He didn't know how these people were corrupted, but Leon guessed that the "vaccine" developed by the plague doctor should have worked.

Otherwise, the fallen believers would not choose to hide underground and take a step-by-step approach to "pollute" the entire city.

Suddenly, Ada's right elbow poked Leon, reminding him to pay attention to the direction of the left side.

Leon turned his head for a while, and saw a believer in the uniform of a sheriff after drinking the sewage, just about to raise his hand to salute, but was stunned for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the magistrate jumped up dancing and shouted to the surrounding believers in great excitement:

"Hahaha! My lord has answered! My lord has answered my prayer! I have received my lord's reward!"

The sheriff shouted, and his body was also mutating.

The already unhealthy complexion became fairer, and several green pustules appeared at the corners of the mouth.
