Indescribable cyberpunk - #663 - Chapter 643 Soul Extraction

Grand’s sudden mutation caught everyone in the Security Department and the Archaeological Association off guard. They did not expect that this old man, who could be said to have been buried in the earth for most of his body, could burst out with such a powerful force after the mutation.

“Minister, the target has lost his mind and there is no point in capturing him alive. Please kill him on the spot!”

On the street, driving a powered armor, the captain in charge of combat command asked to give up the arrest.

In his judgment, Grande has obviously lost his mind now, and even if he is captured alive, it may be difficult to provide more information.

What’s more, there is a densely populated commercial area not far from here. Putting a mutant monster in there will cause who knows how much damage and panic.

“I don’t agree. Haven’t you noticed that after the mutation, Ge Lang did not directly attack humans like the previous mutant monsters? Instead, he chose to escape from the encirclement and fled in a certain direction with obvious purpose. Based on what he had just said with New York, According to Cass’s state during the conversation, I suspect that Grande mutated due to being attracted by some special existence. Tracking him may lead to new discoveries.”

Virginia, who is still in the hospital, is staring at Grand, who is not looking back in the screen. It is meaningless to kill him at this time. It is just adding another experiment to the epidemic prevention center.

It’s better to let him act, maybe it will bring unexpected surprises.

“The president of the Virginia branch is right. Start fuzzy tracking and block the appearance of the monster first.”

Bulwer had already made up his mind to let Virginia, a professional, take charge. If something happened, she would be the one to take charge.

As for the so-called “fuzzy tracking”, it is actually two instructions.

Everyone knows about tracking, but “blur” is an intelligent camouflage system developed by local governments today in order to deal with monsters that suddenly appear in downtown areas as a source of mental pollution from time to time.

To put it simply, it is to “code” the monster and change its appearance through holographic projection.

There were too many passers-by in the downtown area, and no matter how powerful the Qianfan City government was, it was impossible to make these people close their eyes immediately when they saw a monster, so they had to start with the monster.

So when the mutant monster transformed from Grande rushed into the downtown area, what passers-by saw was a big-headed doll running rampant on the street with “danger” warning signs pushed around it, followed by a whole team of people behind it. Guard soldier.

Just as Virginia guessed, Grand, who was in a mutated state, neither turned around to fight back, nor did he intend to take action against the passers-by watching the excitement around him. Virginia even began to wonder whether Grand still had a certain degree of confidence. Reason has only changed physically, but he has tried several times to communicate but failed.

As Grand passed through more and more streets, the number of passers-by who noticed him and the security department’s combat troops also continued to increase. Although due to the snowy weather and late at night, there were not many pedestrians on the commercial streets. , but as a short video was uploaded, people from several surrounding streets began to gather here.

Naturally, most of the people who can come out for activities at this time are young people seeking excitement.

To them, this was just a farce, used to spice up their slightly boring lives. Some young people found that the “prisoner” seemed to only know how to escape, and was not satisfied with just looking at him from a distance.

Simply turn on the hoverboard, which looks very similar to a surfboard or skateboard, and rise into the air with deafening “bang~” and “bang~” sounds. If Zhu Jue sees this scene, he will definitely recall the time in the countryside. Those “will-o’-the-wisp boys” seen on the street.

Of course, the young people of this era are obviously more playful, and this is Community No. 7 where rich children gather. A scene that appeared soon gave everyone in the security department on the other side of the surveillance a headache.

Wearing a complete set of fluorescent clothes, the suspended board under the feet can change its shape at any time through holographic projection. Some turn into a broad sword filled with fairy energy, some turn into a wings-spreading evil dragon, and some weird ones simply It becomes something similar to a monster that is a source of mental pollution.

After getting excited, he still has to do two tricks, dragging a long tail flame and hovering around the doll’s body.

As for the red danger sign outside the doll and the security airship behind it that asked them to evacuate immediately, it now became the background for them to show their personality. Relying on their own connections, they were not afraid of the threat of the security department, and they all held it high. Hold the audition stick and adjust the angle to shoot your own “heroic moment”.

And just when Bulwer was determined to let the tracking troops throw tear gas to disperse these desperate guys, Grand, who had been running with his head down, suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the street without turning around, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Stunned in place.

The brilliant neon light passed through the wind and snow and stayed on the mutated monster covered in mosaics, followed by the gazes of the surrounding crowd from all directions.

“This is the Qianfan City Police Department. Everyone, please leave the neighborhood where the criminals are located immediately, otherwise we will prosecute everyone on the scene for disturbing official duties. This is not a request, but an order!”

The radio on the airship faithfully broadcast Bulwer’s order, but unfortunately there were still only a few people who responded to him.

the reason is simple.

In the wind and snow at the other end of the street, a group of ragged “refugees” suddenly appeared out of nowhere, attracting everyone’s attention.

They suddenly appeared on this bustling street, hunched over, moving their steps, approaching Grand’s position as if there was no one around.

“They are the ones Grand is looking for!”

Virginia was sure that this was Grand and the target they were looking for almost as soon as she saw this group of “refugees”. Looking at the scene in the picture, she somehow felt that something was wrong.

Regardless of why these people appeared on the commercial street of Community No. 7, Bulwer, who also sensed something was wrong, was no longer prepared to wait any longer and immediately sent some people forward to check the situation.

The heavily armed soldiers airborne, the oppressive mechanical armor, and the cold and murderous weapons everywhere made the trouble-making youths around them finally know to restrain themselves and retreat to both sides of the road. The former could no longer take care of them at this time and quickly moved toward Grand. Get closer.

“Reporting to the minister, the target has shown no intention to resist and appears to be in a dormant state.”

When he got close to Grand, the latter showed no reaction and remained in the same position as before. The captain made a gesture, and two soldiers immediately came forward to set up an isolation area, and then took the rest of the people with them. Start approaching the group of people appearing in front.

“This is the Qianfan City Security Department. Stop all your actions immediately, squat on the ground with your hands on your head. Stop all actions immediately. This is an ultimatum!”

According to combat drills, the soldier raised his gun and ordered the approaching crowd, but no matter how high his tone was, the group of people in front still moved forward.

“Prepare tranquilizer bullets and knock down two people first!”

Seeing that words seemed to have no effect, the captain gave the order decisively.

“clear!”

Switch gun mode and aim.

The moment he was about to pull the trigger, the wind and snow suddenly turned violent and the camera was lost.

Wait until your vision is focused again.

The target disappeared without a trace!

“what happened?”

Rao is a captain who has experienced hundreds of battles. He felt inexplicably confused after watching the group of people disappear out of thin air, not to mention the other soldiers.

The audience on the street was also in a commotion, with endless exclamations.

“Perhaps it was just the image projected here by the other party through some kind of device?”

This seems to be the only reason to explain the sudden disappearance of the target.

“Captain, behind you!”

Before the captain could think deeply, a soldier’s report suddenly sounded in the communication channel. Everyone looked back and saw that the “refugees” who were in front of them just now had passed them and appeared near Grand.

“It’s indeed a projection, but what’s the point of doing it?”

Being able to cross their defense line in an instant, even a mutant monster cannot do it, it can only be projected. The captain turned on the heat sensing mode of the helmet and quickly confirmed this.

These refugees have no physical existence at all, and there is no heat feedback.

It’s just a projection, so why waste time in this state?

In the airship not far away, Bulwer also observed these people through surveillance. No matter how you looked at them, they were just a group of skinny refugees, but precisely because of this, their appearance here was even more strange.

“Something’s wrong. Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings. Investigator, check whether there are any sources of mental pollution around you.”

Virginia stared at the scene on the video, and her intuition told her that things were definitely not that simple.

As soon as he finished speaking, a new situation appeared on the street.

In front of more than a dozen security soldiers, the group of “refugees” stayed beside Grand for only a few seconds before another Grand in human form appeared, with his head lowered, and walked into the group of refugees.

The nearby soldiers widened their eyes, rushed forward a few steps, passed directly through the refugees, raised their hands to grab Grand, and threw themselves into the air without saying a word. The mutated monster that was originally in place was stunned when Grand appeared. , slumped to the ground as if his soul had been taken away.

“This stops them.”

The leader of the combat team didn’t know what to do for a moment because of the phenomenon that was beyond common sense, so he had to order to stop these people.

But even if the soldiers put their guns in the faces of these people, they would only pass through and not cause any hindrance to their actions.

Just like the snowflakes floating around, they will eventually turn into a puddle of snow and disappear.

Everyone could only watch as the “refugees” hugged Grand and walked towards the direction where they had just appeared. As they moved again, the soldiers subconsciously followed quickly, and the surveillance system suspended in mid-air also kept moving.

Until we came to the area where the “refugees” first appeared.

Virginia in the hospital stared at the scene in the video. At a certain moment, a cold chill suddenly swept through her body.

She finally realized what felt wrong.

Where these “refugees” appear.

It is clearly the intersection at one end of this commercial street!

“Get out of there!”

A low shout sounded in the communication channel.

Not waiting for the soldiers to react.

Suddenly, in the center of the crossroads, a green-gray gnarled tree suddenly appeared, its ferocious branches piercing the wind and snow, attacking towards the soldiers.

Not far in front of them, the refugees who looked emaciated were twisting their bodies as if they were being stimulated. Under the neon light, a dozen terrifying shadows flashed on the street.

Gunfire, explosions, and screams filled the neighborhood for a while!
