Chapter 260 City of the Dead

The communication channel was deathly silent, and Zhang Ming could only hear slight radio noise.

Something happened to Dior!

He looked at the slums in the distance, no longer wasted time, and hurried over.

It seems that no bustling metropolis can get rid of the word "slum". The taller the tall buildings are, the more sunlight they block and the deeper the shadows they cast.

Cairo is no exception.

In the northeast corner of the city, there is a cemetery group called "Karafa", covering an area of ​​about 6 square kilometers. It is the most famous cemetery in Cairo.

Different from the cemeteries we are familiar with, the tombs in Karafa are built according to the architectural style of local residents, with yards, walls, gates, houses and tombs.The name of the deceased is engraved on the wall next to the gate, and the bones are placed in the tomb.

Judging from the appearance, if it is not a cemetery, many outsiders will regard this as an ordinary house.

A somewhat old-school, spooky house.

This tomb style was of course influenced by the ancient Egyptian tradition. Rich people hoped that after their family members passed away, they could enjoy the same prosperity and wealth as the Pharaoh, so they spent money to build such a house.

Although this custom is a waste of resources, after all, it is other people's money. They spent money to buy land and build houses, so logically there is nothing to blame.

What's scary is what happens next.

As the city of Cairo continues to develop and gradually become the largest city in Egypt and even Africa (the mining country Wakanda has not yet appeared), more and more foreign people are pouring into Cairo.

Land prices in Cairo began to rise, whether for buying or renting a house, reaching a point where the lowest income earners could not afford it.

So, starting from a certain day, "Kalafa", the city of the dead, welcomed its first living resident.

Because as long as you overcome the fear of the dead, living in this place...

It's so cool!

With the first one, there will be the second, the third... More and more poor people are pouring into the city of the dead.

There are living people living on the ground and dead people buried underground. There is a sense of absurdity about the intertwining of life and death, the compatibility of yin and yang.

Until now, the City of the Dead has become the most famous slum in Cairo. According to incomplete statistics, the number of poor people living there for a long time has reached 100 million!

Among 100 million people, assuming that the probability of transforming into a stranger is one in [-], there are nearly a hundred superpowers with different abilities and loyalty to the truth.

Dio couldn't allow this to happen.

He does not have as convenient a long-range attack method as Zhang Ming. Fortunately, he is strong and fast, and the bricks and stones on the ground become his cannonballs.

Dio felt like he was transformed into the peashooter in Plants vs. Zombies, and he kept chugging towards the flying Terrigen Stones.

A large number of Terrigen stones were blown up in mid-air, but at this moment, a stone cunningly hid behind the body of the "companion" and quietly fell down without Dio noticing.

Suddenly a mist appeared, and most of the people within the area instantly turned into stones, with only one person still alive.

It was a young man, with tanned skin and strong muscles, who had just run out of the burning house before the Terrigen Stone fell.

Dio rushed into the mist, trying to pull the young man out before he could complete his transformation, but as soon as he entered the mist, Dio saw a vision.

"This city is being ruled by demons."

"Child, you are a person valued by the gods. Now you have two choices: exit the fog and wait to die in the ravages of demons, or become my believer and accept the power I share with you."

ha?

Dior had a puzzled look on his face like "a subway man looking at his phone."

The bullshit guy in the illusion is the truth. He is wearing a white robe, with a halo on his head, and a pair of snow-white wings behind his back.

"Zhang Ming is right, this guy is indeed a liar."

Dio was about to take the young man away, but the young man suddenly knelt down and shouted at the phantom of truth: "I do, please give me the power!"

Just believe it?

Dio quickly realized that this was because of the disaster outside.

Disasters are happening everywhere in Cairo. Instead of waiting to die in fear, why not fight for it? Maybe it is real?

This is the reason why the truth uses the power of the disaster star to plunge the city into disaster. He wants to push people to the edge of the cliff, with no room for retreat. If you want to survive, you must accept this power and become a believer in the truth.

"Then sign the contract and I will give you power. If you betray me, your heart will burst and you will die."

Countless tiny points of light appeared in the mist, and a golden contract appeared in mid-air. As the young man pressed his fingerprints, the golden film that originally covered his body disappeared, and the mist officially touched his skin.

After witnessing all this, Dior understood the entire process.

The Terrigen Mist will screen out ordinary people and aliens. The power of truth attached to the stone will, after completing this screening process, wrap up people with alien blood and prevent them from further awakening.

If they are unwilling to sign the contract, throw them out of the fog and let them fend for themselves. Once the contract is signed, the power wrapped in this layer will disappear, and a fanatical believer who has absolute trust in the truth will appear.

This entire "extraordinary production assembly line", one link after another, finally formed a closed loop. It can be seen that the truth spent a lot of thought on this aspect.

To prevent this from happening, the key point lies in the Terrigen Stone.

Dio exited the scope of the fog. This was the first fallen Terrigen Stone, and there were more on the way. He jumped to the top of a building to predict their flight path.

When they flew close enough, Dio used blood-red rays to destroy these broken stones in one go.

The blood was compressed in the body. Just when Dio was about to release the ray, a figure jumped up from the fog and pounced on Dio.

"I'm sorry, I won't let you hinder Lord Truth's plan. Believe me, this is for your own good." A monster covered in long hair knocked Dio down and dropped the communicator on his ear.

From the monster's facial features, it can be vaguely identified that this is the young man just now.

At this moment, there was no fear on his face, but only peace and compassion, as if the saint was enlightening Dio, a barbarian who did not know kindness.

"So fast?" Dio's impression was that it only took him a day to wake up and go into coma, and then it took him almost three days to become familiar with his power. It took about a week for him to truly have a certain level of combat effectiveness.

Because of his experience, he didn't waste time and knocked the young man unconscious before he woke up.But in just a few seconds, the young man had mastered the power, which was simply impossible.

Now is not the time to think about that.

The young man who turned into a beast was very strong. Dio forcefully opened his hand and raised his head to look at the sky. Two red rays shot out from his eyes!

The young man immediately used his hands to block it, and there were two wounds as thick as thumbs on his palms.

His body trembled in pain, but a happy smile appeared on his face.He did this not to block the blood-red ray, but to block Dio's sight at the last moment.

The Terrigen Stone in the air quickly separated at that moment. Dio, whose sight was blocked, could no longer lock on to it. The blood-red ray only destroyed part of the Terrigen Stone, and nearly half fell into the City of the Dead!

For a time, the City of the Dead fell into fog, and there were painful groans everywhere.

It was as if the dead had returned.
