The Final Story of Miss Weird

"Mr. Li?"

The team members nearby have realized that the situation is more serious than they imagined, but whether to follow the "White Witch" to the depths of the hatchery or leave for the time being depends on Li Shaoheng's decision.

"...The plan remains unchanged. We retreat."

Li Shaoheng said in a deep voice.

It is hard to understand why a hatchery covering the entire city has appeared before, but Jiangcheng County has always been very normal and does not seem like a strange hatchery.

Wait, normal?

This is the incubator of puppet rumors...

Li Shaoheng, with mixed emotions, immediately quickened his pace. He was still a little uncomfortable with not being able to do anything.

Before, Li Shaoheng usually used "shrinkage" directly when he was at a distance of one kilometer. On the one hand, it was convenient, and on the other hand, it was also to train himself to use his abilities.

Just as everyone was retreating, they saw some city residents walking towards the hatchery.

They seemed to be strolling leisurely, talking and laughing.

Seeing this scene, Li Shaoheng frowned slightly. Are the people on outer guard just there to do nothing? At this time, how can they let ordinary people go deep into such a dangerous place?

Not to mention the puppet rumor and the mysterious girl, even the strange creatures on the periphery can easily take away these people's lives.

"Everyone."

A team member quickly stepped forward and tried to stop these ordinary people.

But they ignored the player and walked past him as if they didn't see him.

One of them bumped into him, but after a slight pause, he continued to move forward.

The team members felt a sense of inexplicable anger in their hearts and wanted to rush up to stop these ordinary people who were ungrateful.

The next second, Li Shaoheng grabbed him and said in a trembling voice with slight fear,

"Don't move, look over there..."

The team member turned his head in confusion and felt his scalp tingling instantly.

More ordinary people...

Their clothes were the same as always, as if they were back at their posts, performing their duties mechanically and flexibly.

Li Shaoheng even saw a few familiar faces among them, who were all police officers specially transferred by Liu Songyi to help set up checkpoints in the hatchery.

Everyone looked calm and composed, maintaining their usual appearance, as if Li Shaoheng and the others were the odd ones out.

Something is wrong, something is wrong...

Li Shaoheng wanted to call and communicate with Granny Lu again, but after taking out his cell phone, he found that the signal had completely disappeared. Even the screen strangely showed snow and electrical noise like an old-fashioned TV.

"Shao Heng, we must leave Jiangcheng County immediately."

At this moment, an old and tough voice sounded.

Li Shaoheng raised his head and saw Old Lady Lu had arrived at the scene with a serious expression on her face.

She stretched out her hand, and a breeze lifted up all the members, then sent them out of the hatchery at an extremely fast speed.

"This is... "Power"? "

Li Shaoheng quickly recognized the ability used by Granny Lu. In this strange incubator, only "power" could be effective.

After realizing that all her abilities were ineffective and the truth about the hatchery was revealed in Jiangcheng County, Granny Lu, who was guarding outside the hatchery, made two arrangements.

While evacuating all the personnel stationed on the periphery away from Jiangcheng County, he rushed to the scene with "authority" and took away Li Shaoheng's team.

There are only eighteen people in the "company" who possess sacrificial vessels that can grant "power", and Lu Fangling is one of them.

As for Li Shaoheng, he does not count, because the way he uses "power" is a trump card and can only be used once, otherwise he would have used it directly in the "Realm of Nothingness".

"Granny Lu, what's going on now?" Li Shaoheng asked nervously.

At this time, Lu Fangling no longer had the composure she had at the beginning, and her expression was extremely heavy.

"Our estimates were wrong," she said. "In fact, when I saw the hatchery in the center of the county, I knew it was not a 'high-risk weird' because it was too routine."

Even though there are many oddities, it is still too conventional compared to the first fifty in the weird sequence.

The incubator where every "high-risk weirdness" is truly born and truly transformed into "Him" cannot be that simple.

This is exactly the reason why Lu Fangling chose to switch command positions with Li Shaoheng. She needed to devote her attention to finding the real hatchery.

The scope was not limited to Jiangcheng County. Lu Fangling dispersed the remaining forces of the company's branch and searched for traces in several surrounding cities with the same "boundary".

But no matter what, she never expected that the real hatchery... was actually the entire seemingly normal Jiangcheng County.

Normal is the rule of this hatchery.

Just now, when Luo Ling in the depths completely strangled the will of the "egg", unspeakable abnormalities occurred throughout Jiangcheng County.

First, ordinary people who were quarantined outside started to make trouble for unknown reasons, then the police officers who were maintaining order began to talk nonsense, and after the situation got completely out of control, it returned to normal in a confused manner.

But the weird “normality” that appeared afterwards was actually abnormal.

The quarantined people returned to their seats one after another as if nothing had happened, and even the police officers in charge of the blockade walked towards the police station.

In the collapsed clothing store, the clerk was sorting the merchandise on the empty shelves. A couple passing by was discussing what to eat tonight, and then they stepped into the collapsed building.

Except for the awakened ones, almost all ordinary people in Jiangcheng County have recovered to this state.

Only a small number of them were not affected, but they looked terrified, as if they had seen something terrible. Basically, they went crazy and said weird things everywhere.

"The situation in Jiangcheng County is now completely out of control. We can't save anything," Lu Fangling said calmly. "Now, we can only take those who can leave... and leave this place."

Li Shaoheng knew very well that this was the only option at the moment.

only...

Nothing can be done.

He clenched his fists slightly and asked in a deep voice,

"What did headquarters say?"

Lu Fangling glanced at him without saying anything, and used the breeze to carry her voice to Li Shaoheng's ears.

"...give up Jiangcheng County, and my branch also needs to be ordered to evacuate."

Seeing that the hatching of this "high-risk weirdo" had reached an irreversible point, the company headquarters was unwilling to pay too much loss here.

If the "high-risk weirdness" can be killed, the headquarters is willing to pay some price to obtain this precious holy relic.

But when the effort is not proportional to the income, and the possibility of failure is even greater...

The company's abandonment was also very decisive.

In the words of senior management at headquarters, this is called avoiding sunk costs.

The "Company" is a company from the beginning to the end.

"...fits my impression of the company's headquarters."

Li Shaoheng sighed and said no more.

He knew that Lu Fangling's willingness to take away those who were not affected was already the limit of her ability.

"Where are the local awakeners?" Li Shaoheng asked.

"I gave them the choice." Lu Fangling said softly.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift off into the distance, to the conspicuous white hospital in the mountains, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

...

At the same time, in Qingshan Mental Hospital, Ward Zero.

"Father, Mother sent someone to call us to leave."

Beside the bed, a woman dressed in the uniform of a Republic of China student took Ji Shinian's hand and spoke softly.

The mysterious fourth group manager is Lu Manqing, the biological daughter of Ji Shinian and his ex-wife Lu Fangling.

The bed was surrounded by members of the communication group. Except for the "White Witch", all the group members came here without exception.

After realizing that the entire Jiangcheng County might be a weird incubator, Lu Fangling sent all the group members back to Qingshan Hospital.

Firstly, it is up to them to decide whether to leave or stay, and secondly...Qingshan Hospital is located in a remote area of ​​Jiangcheng County, less than one kilometer outside the county.

Even if you finally decide to leave, it won't be too late.

Ji Shinian slowly opened his eyes. After a period of treatment, his eyes could barely perceive some light, but it was impossible for him to be as sharp as before.

Although he is still a mid-level awakener today, his abilities are basically useless because he cannot see.

As everyone watched and waited, Ji Shinian slowly sat up and sighed,

"It has come to this..."

He turned his head to look at the sky, but closed his eyes in despair.

Before this, Ji Shinian had already anticipated that Jiangcheng County would face a huge disaster.

For this purpose, he made a lot of preparations in advance, including the company.

However, perhaps because it has been too long since a truly "high-risk monster" appeared in the world, everyone underestimated the horror of this monster.

Including "Herald of Evil".

The most terrifying thing is that even if the plan of the "Evil Herald" succeeds, they will eventually become food for this strange resurrection.

Because...the entire Jiangcheng County is His incubator.

It is He, not it.

He sneered as the toys performed their comical acts on the stage.

"Let's all go." Ji Shinian sighed.

He wanted to save people, but he couldn't.

This remote little town... no, not just this one, I'm afraid that any town within a hundred miles will not escape this disaster.

If the scale of the disaster is still not contained, it may even spread to more places...

"...good."

Liu Songyi nodded heavily.

Although I am very sad about this result, giving up is indeed the only option now that things have come to this point.

It's a pity for the ordinary people in Jiangcheng County. They are beyond salvation under the influence of strange cognition.

Do not try to break the rules of the hatchery; taking those affected away by force may lead to a more serious disaster.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward was quite heavy.

Everyone present lived in Jiangcheng County, and except for a few people, their relatives were just ordinary people.

Among the abandoned people are also their families.

But...

Precisely because they were awakened and fully aware of the horror of the weirdness, no one raised any objections.

Perhaps after the temporary evacuation, the company will send people to deal with this catastrophe, and the people trapped in the city can still be saved.

Taking them away by force now or leaving them in the city would both lead to death.

"So be it."

Ji Shinian closed his eyes tiredly.

"Hurry up and go back to pack up. We will leave here together in a while."

Lu Manqing waved his hand, and everyone left the ward in silence.

Only one person remained in the ward.

"We remember...you are Liu Qian?"

Lu Manqing leaned down slightly and looked at the little red-haired girl sitting in the wheelchair.
