Chapter 76 Top Awakeners(1/2)
The interest in Qin's eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Duke saw this and decided to throw cold water on her. After all, some excitement is not so good to watch.
Then Duke whispered:
"I have done some research on lip reading... They seem to be talking about topics related to the black mist..."
Qin was a little surprised when she heard the first half of Duke's sentence. Although she had heard of lip reading for the first time, she understood what the word meant after thinking about it for a moment. Duke still has this ability?
However, when she heard the next words, Qin's expression suddenly changed, and she didn't care about lip reading anymore. She said quickly:
"Are you sure it's Black Mist?"
"It should be right, it's the black mist."
Duke nodded.
Although the lip reading calculated by No. 2 is not completely accurate, after all, the other party cannot stand stupidly all the time. They can move. If the line of sight is blocked, No. 2 can't do anything.
But the most frequent thing they talked about was the black mist, so this incident is most likely related to the black mist.
Qin's brows frowned, no longer as relaxed as before.
Strictly speaking, there is no effective countermeasure against black mist. When encountering black mist, the only thing you can do is to escape from the black mist.
The City of Dawn can protect itself from the black fog outside due to its sky-dome defense system, but things are not guaranteed, and black fog will still appear at certain times.
The people in the city are not the wilderness team. They basically have no experience in preventing black fog. If the black fog breaks out in the city, the problem will be serious!
If the black mist appeared, then such a sudden grand scene would make sense.
"But then again, were these hyena gangs wiped out by the black mist?"
Duke said with some doubts.
Qin immediately objected:
"That's impossible. If there was such a large-scale black mist, do you think we could still be here? Even if it is black mist, it must be extremely small-scale!"
After what Qin said, Duke felt that this was also the case. He became a little less nervous and even had a little expectation.
After all, he has always heard of black mist, but has never seen black mist.
He originally thought he would see black mist in the wilderness, but instead of encountering it in the wilderness, he encountered it in the city?
The two of them didn't speak anymore. While Qin stared at the people below, she also carefully watched the surrounding situation, ready to run away with Duke at any time.
After all, there are basically no signs of the black mist, and it may come out suddenly. If she accidentally gets hit, Qin will be fine. After all, she has a bloodline sequence, is naturally resistant to the black mist, and has a low rate of losing control.
But it's hard to say for Duke. The moment he is exposed to the black mist, he may completely fall into madness!
As for Duke, of course he has been observing the surrounding situation. With No. 2 here, he will definitely be the first to notice whenever the black fog appears.
At this time, the exchange below seemed to be coming to an end. Among the more than ten police officers, except for a man and a woman who looked like leaders, they all found a bunker and hid.
The city defense troops quickly arranged their battle formations and set up their guns without any panic. It was obvious that this was not the first time they encountered such a situation.
As for the five awakened people from the city defense army and the two awakened people from the Metropolitan Police Department, they all took out their weapons and walked step by step towards the small apartment not far away.
Duke was not surprised at all when he saw the direction they were heading.
After all, in the whole hyena gang, except for the apartment building where no one is there, there are police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department everywhere, so you can imagine the danger.
A few minutes later, the awakened group of people arrived at the small apartment checkpoint.
This was originally considered the most rigorous checkpoint of the Hyena Gang, but at this time the checkpoint had long been destroyed. Although no corpses were seen, there were some black blood stains everywhere. It can be imagined that a fierce battle took place here.
Several awakened people were very cautious and took out their weapons, as if the enemy was nearby and would attack at any time.
Qin looked at their battle formation and defensive posture, and whispered to Duke thoughtfully:
"I seem to know what the dangers here are..."
"Huh? Isn't the danger the black mist?"
Duke was a little surprised.
Qin did not deny it, she raised the corner of her mouth and said:
"It's black mist, but it's not exactly black mist. You'll be able to see it later. This is a rare opportunity. Some people may never see this kind of situation in their lifetime..."
Listening to Qin's words, Duke was still confused, but he could clearly feel that Qin slowly relaxed a lot after guessing what the danger was.
Although Duke didn't know what kind of riddle she was playing, he probably understood that perhaps this danger was not as scary as the pure black mist.
Duke was naturally willing to see the danger diminish, so he stopped talking and looked at the group of awakened people obediently.
Not far from the roof of Duke's house, two gray-faced figures appeared. It was the two reporters who had followed Duke before.
Fortunately, they have been reporters all year round and have good physical fitness. They could barely keep up with Duke's back before. Although they were thrown away in the end, they had already passed the most exposed area. They were frightened along the way and went through hardships and obstacles. Finally, they were able to keep up with Duke.
We arrived outside the square of the Hyena Gang.
They couldn't see Duke and Qin from their position, but the moment they appeared, No. 2 spotted them and alerted Duke.
However, Duke was currently observing the awakened people and did not pay attention to the two reporters.
"I'll go! City defense army!"
The female reporter screamed softly.
After she came in, she immediately saw the desert camouflage-colored vehicle of the city defense army parked outside. The badges on it were too easy to identify.
It's not unusual to see the city defense troops. After all, you can still see the city defense troops on the streets sometimes, and they are not completely invisible.
But seeing the city defense army at this time and on this occasion is a big problem!
As reporters, they know very well what it means for the City Defense Forces to take action. Generally, the City Defense Forces will appear only when the Metropolitan Police Department cannot resolve a problem.
Every time the city defense army takes action, it will be huge news!
The male reporter even shouted excitedly:
"Sure enough, we came right! Tomorrow's Dawn Daily headline must be ours!"
As he spoke, he began to take notes.
He accurately recorded how many cars there were and even made several sketches.
However, due to the obstruction of the vehicles, they were not at a high place, so they could not see the police officers hiding behind the bunkers, the city defense troops and the awakened people who formed a battle formation.
They didn't dare to go any further at this time for fear of being caught, so they could only lurk quietly, propped up their ears, and wait for the opportunity.
On the roof, Duke was staring at the group of awakened people, and Number Two suddenly spoke:
"The appearance of black fog was detected, at the direction of twelve o'clock, at a distance of 1,052 meters, and a height..."
Duke suddenly tensed up and his vision was as wide as a telescope.
The location marked No. 2 is the garage that leads to the underground warehouse. Looking from the outside, it is dark inside. Duke did not see the black mist, but he knew that the black mist was inside!
For the sake of those awakened people, Duke naturally didn't want them to go in because they were all human beings. In such a dark environment, it was difficult to guard against the black mist.
Fortunately, these people stopped when they arrived at the door of the warehouse and whispered something to each other.
Qin frowned at this time:
"I feel like that thing is inside..."
Although she did not see the black mist, Qin gave the correct answer with her rich experience and sixth sense.
Duke did not answer at this time, because those awakened people took action.
I saw one of them, a burly and even bloated awakened person wearing a military robe. He lifted up his robe, and with a slap... the robot dog jumped out of the clothes and rushed directly to the garage.
"Puppet Master!"
After Duke saw this man's actions, a term suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Mechanical Puppet Master: Mechanical main sequence, perception sub-sequence. Innate mechanical affinity, acquired spiritual energy, good at making and controlling robots! 】
Although he has never seen a mechanical puppet master, this person fits the characteristics of a mechanical puppet master.
Compared to Duke's surprise and curiosity, Qin is much calmer. She has been wandering in the wilderness for so many years, what kind of awakened person has she not seen?
There are also different types of mechanical puppet masters. Seeing that this mechanical puppet master carries portable robots, it is obviously more of a reconnaissance type.
The four short legs of the mechanical dog moved extremely fast and entered the dark garage in more than ten seconds.
Everyone was staring at the position where the mechanical dog entered, wanting to see what was going on inside.
About five seconds later, the mechanical puppeteer suddenly frowned.
Bang!
I saw a silver object flying out of the garage.
Everyone quickly moved out of the way and took a closer look. Isn't this the mechanical dog that just entered?
However, at this time, the mechanical dog seemed to have been rubbed by a pair of ruthless iron hands, turning into an iron lump, flashing with electric sparks all over its body, and it was obviously scrapped.
"Jody, are you okay?"
Someone asked quickly.
To be continued...
