The origin infected body sneaked in, and even experienced Inspectors like He Fei, the duty station chief, could die just like that.
In the face of absolute power, if you’re not strong enough, there’s only the road to death!
"The range of the atmospheric anomaly is expanding, and now visibility is probably less than nine hundred ters..."
Another round of activity ended. Cheng Ye looked up into the fog and took out his Defense Communication to check the ti.
1:04 PM.
During this ti, he had been paying close attention to the movents in neighboring Zone B and Zone D.
The area where Song Hai was located was lively, with a constant stream of residents and scavengers undergoing inspections, leaving him no chance to extricate himself.
But Cheng Ye saw clearly that Song Hai was obviously much more irritable compared to the morning.
Several tis, as soon as soone reported their identity data, his severe gaze forced the guards to escort them directly to the quarantine chamber without even the chance to speak.
The Inspector in Zone D was even more straightforward, abandoning his duties and hiding in the rear quarantine zone.
But according to regulations, if anyone enters Zone D, he must co out to inspect and cannot avoid it.
"Everyone seems to have a tacit understanding..."
No one voiced doubts about the sudden fog, yet everyone demonstrated through their actions.
This fog is suspicious!
Ding.
1:10 PM.
The Defense Communication suddenly pinged with a notification.
Cheng Ye imdiately took it out, unlocked it, and scanned the text on the screen, finally easing his tense nerves a bit.
[Happiness City Broadcasting Station - Special Foggy Weather Warning]
[Due to the influence of warm and moist air currents converging, the city will experience persistent foggy weather starting from noon today. Current visibility has dropped below 950 ters, and the fog is expected to continue and possibly intensify within the next 72 hours, with visibility in so areas possibly falling below 100 ters.]
[All residents must take note: please do not leave the Buffer Zone for the Wilderness unless necessary. Happiness City has activated an ergency response plan, in communication with Firewood Shelter City, conducting an in-depth analysis of the fog’s cause.]
[Do not panic, do not spread any rumors!]
...
This was a warning broadcast aid at all residents of Happiness City.
Since it was broadcast, it indicated that the impact range of the fog should still be within controllable limits.
Cheng Ye breathed a slight sigh of relief, his biggest worry was that the higher-ups would turn a blind eye to this abnormal fog, letting panic spread, and then the whole situation erupts.
Now it seed that since Happiness City was already taking it seriously, all he needed to do was stand firm in his position and wait for further updates.
This was also the advantage of relying on the Super Shelter City. If he were leading a team to establish a settlent in the Wilderness right now, facing this kind of thing, everyone would probably be holding weapons, shivering, without a clear direction to respond.
"She, make sure everyone is alert and wake up the guards who were on duty last night."
Cheng Ye pressed down on the communicator and said aloud, deliberately making his tone sound more relaxed, "Don’t let everyone be too nervous. The warning has been issued, aning this isn’t a big deal."
After the words fell.
Cheng Ye continued to scroll through the Defense Communication until a few seconds later he bounced up like a spring was suddenly pressed.
No response?
No sound?
He abruptly turned to look behind him, the color drained from his face in an instant, and his expression completely darkened.
At so point, the thick fog had already crept over the borders of the inspection zone, engulfing everything behind him like a tide.
The Buffer Zone, the inspection station, even the quarantine zone behind him, all vanished into the white mist, as if they never existed.
"She?"
Cheng Ye tentatively called out again, but the sound was swallowed by the mist, and he couldn’t even hear an echo.
He tried pressing the button on the desk to open the back quarantine door.
As expected, the button clicked loudly under his pressing, yet the quarantine door didn’t budge.
"What the hell?"
Cheng Ye felt a chill in his heart, no longer wasting effort on the button, he grabbed the Thunder 1 on the table with a reverse hand, and the cold tal of the gun body brought so calm to his chaotic thoughts.
Was it the fog itself that was problematic? Or was so infected body’s ability spreading, causing hallucinations?
His mind flashed with the records about infected bodies in the manual, features rapidly flickering across his thoughts.
Cheng Ye quickly judged the current situation.
There are quite a few infected bodies that can affect the human spirit, thereby inducing hallucinations.
Like hydrophilic type infected bodies, many have this ability. For example, the terrifying shrimp Miao Yang ntioned earlier magnifies human emotions, inducing all kinds of realistic illusions.
However, that was already under parasitic conditions...
Just as the thought arose, a blue panel appeared in the center of his vision, unaffected by the fog.
Cheng Ye quickly switched to his personal interface, his gaze sweeping over the status bar, with no parasitic information indicated.
"Without parasitism, such a large-scale impact is already ford..."
If it were an infected body, this would an there are two possibilities.
Either the infected body’s ability has broken through conventions, reaching the origin-level with Extraordinary Abilities.
Or the infected body’s ability, combined with the fog, is generating a compounded impact.
His finger moved slightly, a pendant appeared in his palm and then quickly disappeared, still no effect.
Having verified that the Collector was not restricted, Cheng Ye’s unease dissipated mostly.
Man only fears when facing the unknown that has yet to occur.
When actually in this state, those fears, those anxieties, instead completely dissipated.
"1, 2, 3..."
Now nothing could be seen, the entire inspection zone was like a fog-isolated island.
