Chapter 940: Eastern District of Fog City
The capital of Britain is known as the Fog City.
It was once the financial center and industrial city of the real world, and even became one of the most prosperous cities.
The capital prototypes in many steampunk novels are often based on the foggy cities of the glorious period.
Before dawn, it is the darkest time of the day.
Fog City East District.
This urban area, known as the abyss of reality by knowledgeable people, is the lowest level of the Fog City and an area where wanderers gather.
When the Fog City was at its most glorious, it was also when the bones and blood and tears in this city were at their deepest.
A place where the poor have no family and an abyss were vivid and not exaggerated adjectives for this urban area at that time.
As Britain declined, the people living in this urban area were not so miserable.
But there is still little hope.
Muddling along on handouts.
Gil is an old man with white skin and gray hair who just moved to the East End with his companions.
They originally lived in a villa.
Many uninhabited villas on the outskirts of the foggy city have always been a good place for homeless people like them. Even if the owners of the villas know about it, they are often unable to drive them away.
However, in the past two years, more and more lawless refugees have appeared, and they soon also set their sights on these territories.
As a result, Jill and their companions were kicked out, and they could only come to the East End to live on the church and official relief meals.
As for work, it is impossible to work. It is impossible to work in this life.
"It's so cold!"
Jill suddenly woke up from her sleeping bag and soon felt something crawling not far away.
"wildcat?"
Gil grumbled. He was sleeping in a park that was no longer maintained. It was normal for wild cats and dogs to exist here.
But...Jill suddenly saw the reptile suddenly turning its head to look at him.
In the dark night, the darkness makes it difficult to see.
but!
What the hell is this! How come his eyes are like burning green flames?
It's so scary!
"ah!"
Just as Jill was thinking, a piercing scream came from not far away.
Soon, these screams came one after another and became one.
Gil quickly climbed up from his sleeping bag, but in a panic, he was suddenly thrown to the ground by a black mass in front of him.
So, Jill couldn't hold it back and screamed.
Fortunately, the black shadow only slightly punctured Jill's clothes. After the skin was broken and blood started to bleed, perhaps he felt that this person was not tasty, so he immediately jumped away.
Gil, who was still in shock and looking at his chest bleeding, was left in a daze.
Dawn soon came and the sky glowed again.
Gill came back to his senses under the stimulation of the sun and quickly checked his body. After finding nothing, he looked at the grass around him and swallowed his saliva. After vowing never to sleep here again, he started looking for his companions.
Unexpectedly, I had just found my companion who was also in shock and was about to leave the park. Even police cars rarely appeared in the foggy East District. Countless police cars and various special vehicles arrived early in the morning with the sirens blaring. .
Soldiers in chemical protective suits ran down from some trucks and surrounded Gill and others.
"Look, the helicopter is coming too!"
The companion next to Jill raised his head and saw the helicopter flying in the sky, but the logo on it was not the official British one.
It is a rather special security company, the symbol of Montenegro security.
This is a violent agency that was invited in to help Fog City's security starting from the Fog City riots five years ago.
Five years ago, unprecedented riots occurred in the foggy city. What started as burning cars turned into vandalism, looting and even burning of buildings.
Even one of the largest department stores in the foggy city was burned down in the mob's carnival.
So the upper echelons of Fog City became angry after being confused.
They recruited retired officials from Citigroup who had the most experience in suppressing riots as their commanders.
And established a mercenary company composed of professional soldiers who really dare to kill people to solve this crisis.
The result was very good. The riot that the Fog City police and the army had not solved for a week was put down within 48 hours after this team came in.
The reason is simple.
How dare they shoot!
And after catching the rioters, no matter what their identities are, they will be made public and handed over to the official trial.
Many local naughty kids in the foggy city who took advantage of the troubled waters were shocked and did not dare to continue.
Gil was not afraid of the Fog City police, but when he saw these security forces being dispatched, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
What is this going to do?
This action is too big.
Holy Lord, please save us!
While Jill silently prayed in her heart.
In a command vehicle, Commander Arnold, who came from Citi but was poached, with white hair but still energetic, was discussing the next action plan in a low voice with a senior official and several experts.
Commander Arnold is interested in supernatural events.
He is an ambitious man, otherwise he would not have been poached by Britain to take this position that is under pressure from public opinion.
After learning about the extraordinary abnormal events in the East District of Fog City, Arnold felt that his opportunity had come.
As the most powerful official sword outside the army, Arnold hopes to show the greater value of his team so as to gain more resources and power.
He longed for his Montenegrin mercenaries to be as glorious as the French Foreign Legion.
Even... a global disaster has really occurred as some prophet said.
He who has the real military power may not be able to go further!
"Please look, this is the high-definition image just restored by the research institute."
"This is the culprit who attacked the citizens of the eastern district of Fog City in the dark not long ago!"
An expert opened a video.
Arnold and several officials widened their eyes and looked at the monster on the screen in surprise.
They all recognized this monster.
But it is precisely because they recognized it that they felt more terrified.
"Isn't this a rat?"
Arnold stretched out his right hand and pointed at the black shadow monster on the screen and said:
"But how can it be so big!"
"How can there be a rat bigger than an adult Husky!"
"..."
Arnold's exclamation was also the confusion of other officials.
The rat suddenly became so big, if it was a mutation caused by extraordinary factors?
Then...is it possible that this mutation can also cause mutations in other places, or even other creatures!
If all the rats in the whole Fog City are that big.
If cockroaches and ants also grow bigger!
The rumored doomsday will not come to the British foggy area first!
For a moment, the atmosphere in the command car.
became extremely tense!
Outside the car, a strict disinfection procedure began.
Jill and others also took blood tests and other procedures immediately after being taken to the temporary camp.
At the same time.
The sewer manhole cover on the street was opened, and a group of unmanned robots were put in, trying to find where those large rats were hiding!
