NFBE Chapter 216 Opening
Chapter 216 Opening
The chaos caused by the system shutdown cannot be stopped overnight. Although there is an announcement that there will be an offline supermarket, people cannot feel at ease until they see the actual store. Moreover, there is no information about when and where the supermarket will open, and everyone is very panicked.
In fact, the most anxious ones are the senior government officials. The problem of Alaya's disappearance has not been solved yet, and now they have to appease the people. The key is that they don't have any clues, so they can only send more people to patrol to prevent riots.
He had previously set up a spell to disperse the crowd outside Zagros' supermarket, so this area had never been discovered. However, the location he chose was originally on the outskirts of the city, but after the new city renovation, it was considered the city center. Now that Gaia has agreed, it is time to bring it to light.
As Zagreus' mind moved, the originally calm air began to become restless. Strong winds blew from all directions, bringing with them a powerful force that dispersed the spells that expelled humans from the periphery.
At this time, the energy detection machines throughout the city suddenly issued a shrill alarm. These devices, which were originally used to prevent attacks by infected bodies, actually worked at this time. The residents who were still sleeping nearby were awakened by the sudden alarm and walked out of their homes, looking around curiously, watching the gathering guards and trying to figure out what was going on. Some brave people went directly in the direction of the alarm, trying to find out more.
At the same time, the security team that received the news first quickly gathered around the instrument. They also discovered the sudden increase in open space here, and because this is the city center, many people have begun to watch. They hurriedly began to visit and collect information from those who knew the situation. Many people tried to step forward, but an invisible barrier blocked everyone.
With the entry of the troops, countless scientific researchers have become busy. Holding various instruments and equipment, they continuously scan the open space that suddenly appeared in front of them. However, these machines cannot detect Zagros's barrier. They can only use special tape to enclose the approximate area and wait for further notice.
At this time, the security team received the news and dispersed the large number of onlookers again. After all, this was an unknown phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the city center. If it was some kind of infected body, early detection would allow for early prevention.
At this time, Lu Zhou, the chief of the military region, also arrived here. He is the strongest among the three S-level ones. Not only him, but also other senior officials, except those who had to stay behind, were also rushing here one after another.
At this time, a cordon was set up within 500 meters around the venue. Many civilian forces wanted to enter but were naturally expelled by the security department. Many people could only look at this place from a long distance.
"Have you found out what this place was originally? How come there is suddenly such a large open space?" Lu Zhou asked the A-level officer in charge of this area.
"I found out. This place was a supermarket before the infected body appeared. After it was emptied by the people in the safe zone, no one cared about it. Logically, it should have become an abandoned building at that time."
"The area around here has been renovated, and the original buildings should have been demolished. Why is there still this vacant lot?"
The officer wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There seems to be a powerful force isolating everyone here. According to the investigation, everyone forgot about this place after the second black fog descended. They only remembered it after the alarm sounded. This area used to be a safe zone with people coming and going. I investigated and found that everyone has subconsciously ignored this place since the black fog. No one paid attention to it even when it was renovated."
"Then why did it appear now?"
"According to the test, the reason for the reappearance here seems to be related to the strange wind that blew before. The inspectors found a short period of residual energy in the wind, but later the alarm sounded and the strange wind stopped."
"Strange wind?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou frowned slightly and immediately probed his mental power into the surrounding void, trying to find the so-called traces of energy. However, he circled around the open space and did not find anything unusual.
"How are the others checking? Is this place harmful to humans?"
"We've checked it out, and Elder Zeng is here too. We can't detect any energy that's harmful to humans here, but after checking, we've determined that this isn't an empty space. There's a layer of illusion blocking the view. Elder Zeng said that if we want to continue the detection, we have to break the outer energy barrier!"
The Mr. Zeng they were talking about was a master in the research and development of energy machinery in the institute. Countless instruments were manufactured by his team. At this moment, he was leading his team to explore continuously with the machinery, but they were currently stuck in a dead end. The barrier in front of them could block all means of detection, and they had no way to deal with it.
After hearing the news, Lu Zhou was silent. He had just tried it, and with his S-level energy, he couldn't shake the invisible barrier at all. The officer had told him before that this was the original site of the supermarket. He also suspected whether this was the offline supermarket that the system mentioned, but the timing of its appearance was too strange, and he couldn't just leave it alone.
"Go call all the A-class leaders here. I don't believe that this many people plus three S-class can't break this barrier!"
"Yes!"
The officer immediately ran out with his men, but to be honest, Lu Zhou was unsure, but since he was already here, he might as well give it a try.
five minutes later
Not only did a lot of A-class come, but a large number of B-class were also brought here. Together with the three S-class in the field, they are considered the current cutting-edge combat power of mankind. At this time, they all stood in front of the open space. At this time, a group of think tanks also planned an attack plan for everyone, and everyone stood in front of the open space fully armed.
"When I count to three, everyone will attack us together!"
"Yes!"
"one two Three!"
After Lu Zhou finished shouting, everyone used their greatest strength and skills. They exuded a powerful aura, and everyone exerted their strength to the extreme. For a moment, colorful lights flashed, dazzling people. These lights contained various attribute powers, including fire, frost, lightning, etc. They intertwined with each other to form an extremely powerful energy torrent.
At this moment, three strong energy torrents gushed out from the three S-level masters, like three giant dragons, carrying other energies and interweaving them together, and finally gathered in Lu Zhou's hands. Lu Zhou clenched his hands, trying hard to maintain the gathering of these energies into a huge sphere.
The surface of the sphere was flashing with dazzling light, as if it contained endless power. As the energy continued to gather, the originally colorful energy ball gradually turned into golden red. The powerful pressure it exuded even made the surrounding air begin to burn.
When everyone's abilities were exhausted, Lu Zhou was sweating profusely. With the help of the other two S-class, he lifted the energy ball with great effort, found the position marked before, and then pushed it out violently. The moment the energy ball left his hands, it immediately turned into a roaring beam of light and shot forward. Wherever the beam of light passed, the ground shattered and raised a cloud of dust.
