Chapter 509: Unknown

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

In the headquarters of the Jiangning Safety Zone, several military commissioners had already been gathered in the conference hall. Those military commissioners would only appear in one place like this when important things happened.

On the screen in the conference hall, a video and some photos were playing. Initially, the military commissioners wore very calm expressions, but as they watched the video, their expressions turned solemn.

At the beginning of the video, there were just some ordinary street scenes regarding the current situation of Jiangning City. They could see lots of zombies fighting against the soldiers who had barricaded themselves in a house to fend off their attacks. Until that point, everything seemed normal but in the next moment a house a few meters away from where the soldiers were collapsed. And right after, a large black object with the size of a truck appeared.

"What is this?"

"Mutant beasts?" The voices of the soldiers came from the video.

Machine guns were madly fired. However, in the video, that black object was constantly approaching the army. Distortion and violent shaking followed. Subsequently, screams were heard one after another in the video.

"Ah!!! Don't! Save-" That's where the video stopped.

After that, two photos appeared on the screen. The first one showed several soldiers that had been caught by that black object. The next one showed that they had disappeared into thin air. Only a little piece of clothing was left on the ground, and not even a drop of blood could be seen. At the same time, the black object had increased in size.

Everyone in the room was astounded. Even though they were watching a video and two photos, they were almost scared to death. Moreover, even the video equipment had been affected by the black object. Some of them could not help but think about the popular ghost sightings caught on camera before doomsday.

"What is this?" asked a military commissioner.

"Is this thing lurking in the ground? It exists in the city and seems to affect our development plan." Another military commission also frowned. Their most important task was to build a large area, but nobody had expected they would encounter that unknown monster.

"It is indeed a troublesome thing. It doesn't seem to be easy to eradicate."

"How many are they?"

After the white-haired old man, General Zhang, who was standing next to the screen, said, "Only one."

"Uh? Only one? It won't be difficult to deal with it then…"

"Yeah. How can we allow a single monster to threaten our safety?"

The commanders started to relax a bit as they thought that a single monster could not cause too much damage. What they feared most were losses. There were fewer zombies than at the start of doomsday, but there were fewer humans too. At the same time, the number of mutant beasts had been increasing. Among the zombies, the proportion of mutant zombies was also increasing.

"It's not as simple as you think! What you see in the video is only a part of it!" said General Zhang.

"What do you mean?"

"General Zhang, in the end, what is going on?"

General Zhang answered, "That thing can divide itself into many different parts. Those parts devour everything in their path, and then, they all merge back."

"Hejiang Town's survivors have fled and come to take shelter in our safety zone. From their testimonies, some parts of that monster appeared, destroying the entire town and swallowing a large number of people. At the same time, our army was attacked by another part of it. That shows that this monster has divided itself into many parts," said General Zhang and then took a deep breath.

"Moreover, it cannot be categorized as a monster. The soldier that successfully escaped and brought back the video saw it up close. According to what he witnessed, that thing's flesh and blood are different from our understanding. As soon as it approaches, static will affect visual and listening devices, while people's thinking will be affected," added General Zhang.

"It can summon many mutant beasts, all of which are under its direct control. It is still not clear what its ability is; maybe it has a strong mental power, or it is releasing some special waves…" said General Zhang while waving his head.

"It is kind of a new organism that is constantly growing and merging. In other words, it is unknown! Some of its parts have already devoured all living organisms in and around Hejiang Town, which proves that its existence is threatening. Its next target may be our base!"

After experiencing many horrible disasters, General Zhang was very clear about how horrifying the post-apocalyptic world was. Even the sturdiest fortress could be destroyed at once. The temporary sense of security didn't mean anything at all. As long as there was a disastrous fire, it was possible to become a raging fire.

All the military commissioners were shocked after learning about the black entity's existence. Then, heated discussions started.

The Jiangning Safety Zone's residents were now close to 400,000 people, and everyone was contributing to the construction of it. As a result, they could not let so many people die and this place to be destroyed.

"Firstly, we should strengthen the defenses. And secondly, call all the teams participating in various tasks outside back. Next, we should send a special team to go to investigate and destroy that strange thing!" said General Zhang.

"Could it be eliminated? What happens if we fail?" asked by a military commission.

"This is also possible...If they can't eliminate it, then we should be prepared to guard our Safety Zone!" General Zhang clenched his fist and waved awkwardly. He had already witnessed the Shenhai Island's fall. Countless survivors had been sacrificed. This time. General Zhang couldn't allow the same thing to happen again.

"Since the survivors of Hejiang Town have arrived, simply open the entrance and let them enter. If they want to live, they will join us to defend our Safety Zone…"

At this moment, a minibus and an off-road vehicle rushed to the gate of the Jiangning Safety Zone at full speed.

Before the soldiers who were responsible for guarding could ask, Jiang Liushi rolled his window down and shouted, "Shi Ying Squad!" Then, Jiang Liushi grabbed the steering wheel and rushed forward all the way, without any delay. He led his team back to the Jiangning Safety Zone. After all, time was of the essence!

Fortunately, General Zhang had already issued a pass for them. Upon seeing the special minibus, the soldiers quickly open the gate.

As the minibus entered the Safety Zone and passed through the parking lot, Jiang Liushi noticed that the atmosphere was different today. There were a lot of modified vehicles in the parking lot.

"Are these survivors coming from Hejiang Town?" Jiang Liushi whispered.

He swept over and did not see He Junhong and his mistress. It seemed that they were not there. Jiang Liushi guessed that they had either been swallowed or had fled to other places. Jiang Liushi also heard some survivors say that they were from other places. It was obvious that the Honeycomb had suddenly appeared in several places at the same time. However, Jiang Liushi just glanced at them and drove directly through the parking lot.
