All the prepared mbers just felt themselves enveloped by a powerful and resilient force, as if it squeezed all the air out of their lungs, accompanied by a sense of weightlessness.
The whole process lasted about one or two minutes.
When gravity returned to their bodies, the air also ca back.
However, this air was accompanied by a tallic taste and a burning sensation.
Everyone was very familiar with the sll of blood and burning corpses that filled the air, and even though they had no weapons in hand, they opened their eyes imdiately.
Then, they were slightly shocked by the scene in front of them.
This was a city, a completely ruined city, with traces of burning everywhere, a thick mix of dust and smoke constantly spreading in the air.
Moreover, on the roads, beside buildings, there were many overturned and smashed cars.
In the cars, one could still see many corpses.
On the roads, on the buildings, in the ruins, human corpses were almost everywhere.
"There’s no doubt, this is the Eastern Country in the Parallel Universe." The historical expert in the team imdiately said, "The architectural style is approximately from the 1990s to the first decade of this century, with the highest likelihood being the year 1990 sothing."
Many details could be discerned.
Such as the styles of vehicles, advertising styles, and so clothing on the corpses.
Shen Yu stood in the middle of the crowd, sowhat worried whether he had arrived too late.
However, he quickly looked at the Gray Mist.
He could clearly feel that a large group of people was approaching.
Soon, a group of soldiers in camouflage, wielding various weapons and wearing simple versions of gas masks, cautiously surrounded them, and upon seeing their group, imdiately pointed their guns at them.
"Who are you! Why are you here!" A man’s voice was very serious, even slightly sharp and trembling.
Shen Yu knew that not only was their strange attire an issue, but also the residual magic power halo from their teleportation just now.
However, Zhang Jie, the chief officer, glanced at Shen Yu, then stepped out of the crowd first, raising his hands to show he was unard.
"Fellow countryn, allies."
He detected a local accent from the one speaking, and his words now also carried a bit of hotown flavor.
Nonetheless, the other party was not at all careless.
"Don’t move, stand there! Stop imdiately! Or I’ll shoot!"
The soldier, appearing to be an officer, was evidently very nervous.
His gaze constantly scanned over them.
They were wearing uniform and strange attire, like pilots, although heavy weapons were absent, he still sharply noticed the dagger at their waists.
Moreover, this group emitted a very obvious military aura!
There were even foreigners among them!
Just looking at those muscled giants showed this group couldn’t possibly be surviving civilians.
Yet this was the center of a war zone!
Strange, very strange!
Could they be new monsters?
"No need to be nervous, we’re completely cooperative, we can communicate slowly, or you can connect with soone who can communicate with us." Zhang Jie halted, appearing very calm.
He noticed many soldiers had injuries, so even quite severe, causing him a slight sinking feeling inside.
Injured soldiers not sent off the front line indicated that the situation in this Parallel Universe was evidently grim.
He didn’t intend to waste any more ti and prepared to reveal their identities directly.
But just at that mont, a sharp low hum suddenly ca from behind.
Language couldn’t describe this sound, it was like a whale’s long cry but extraordinarily sharp, accompanied by a strong electrical sound, enough to make those who heard it feel extrely uncomfortable.
The soldiers in front, one by one, changed their expressions drastically.
"It’s Level Three! Retreat, quickly retreat!"
In the blink of an eye, a violent gale swept in, and a massive creature, roughly five or six ters tall and seven or eight ters long, erged from the dust. Despite its large size, its body was exceptionally agile, like a super-sized feline creature, and its four limbs with huge claws pressing on the ground made little noise.
Is this the monster of this world?
And not just one!
More and more similar monsters appeared from all directions; the giant one was the only creature of such size, most others were only two to three ters tall, but all still larger than the biggest tigers, each covered with seemingly extrely hard shells, with purple currents appearing in places, emitting the sound of electricity piercing through the air.
The surrounded human soldiers could only retreat bit by bit.
Every face bore despair.
They shouldn’t have co to investigate.
"Is communication still working?" The officer was equally despairing but still struggled to maintain composure.
But the communication soldier shook his head, "Captain, the phone line isn’t down, but it’s jamd."
Following Shen Yu, they only now realized that the communication soldier in this hundred-strong team actually carried a heavy roll of telephone wire.
"These monsters have a strong disruptive effect on wireless communication." The technical officer within the team transmitted text via the communication channel, "But our quantum communication technology is unaffected."
Many of this team’s equipnt directly ca from Interstellar Civilization.
Including the personal terminal responsible for communication.
Interstellar Civilization had already eliminated wireless communication, otherwise, communication lag between planets would be unacceptable.
And at this mont, seemingly realizing that these people were trapped in a crisis, the captain again glanced at Shen Yu’s group.
At this very mont, he hoped these people carried weapons.
Unfortunately, apart from daggers and so handguns, nothing else was visible.
"Brothers, it’s ti to take a gamble." The captain took a deep breath, glanced at the others, and suddenly spoke, "We will definitely have soone succeed!"
He directly took sothing that looked like a syringe out from his pocket.
The other soldiers did the sa.
So were noticeably trembling, pale, while others appeared exceedingly calm, as if completely at ease; so gazed at the warriors surrounding them not relaxed at all with hatred in their eyes.
Though, in the next mont.
The captain suddenly realized the reagent in his hand disappeared.
He was horrified, staring at his hand and looking around, then saw his item in Shen Yu’s hand.
However, Shen Yu was at least six ters away from him!
"The main ingredient in this thing is the sa as these monsters." Shen Yu looked at him, slowly questioned, "The energy is very explosive; normal humans cannot withstand it. If you inject this in a crisis, does it an, soone successfully coexists with that energy?"
"Yes, yes." The captain instinctively responded to the question and then suddenly startled, stepping back a few paces and fearfully staring at these people, "Who exactly are you, no, what are you?"
He sensed a strange aura from these people right from the start.
They looked human, but in reality, gave him very little familiarity.
Even in such a dire situation, it provoked acute unease.
As if they were an existence far more terrifying than the monsters in front of him.
If he knew what the uncanny valley effect was, he might understand the reason for this fear.
Zhang Jie knew he had to pacify these soldiers.
He stepped forward and gave them a standard military salute, solemnly saying: "We co from the Parallel Universe; we are the first exploration team of the Parallel Universe. My na is Zhang Jie, a forr colonel from the Eastern Country’s Thirteenth Army. Comrades, don’t panic; we are here to help you."
"Parallel, Parallel Universe?" The captain was sowhat bewildered.
In this era, similar fantasy works had not yet beco popular; the concept of a Parallel Universe was not yet widely recognized.
But Shen Yu spoke at this mont: "Let’s prepare for battle first."
