Chapter 921: The Second Specialization Frenzy
"Has it started yet?!"
Chen Futu got out of bed and ran to the window. He saw the starry sky suddenly disappear, and then a faint line appeared in the sky, as if a gloomy hole had been cut open in the firmament. Thick fog poured in, like a filthy and gloomy waterfall hanging from the heavens.
"This scene is exactly the same as when the demon descended upon Vatnajökull. Is this the Specialized Frenzy? System, please explain."
"A specialized natural disaster means illness and torment. People with weak bodies or willpower will be eroded and infected, and then become walking corpses. Moreover, it is not only humans who are affected, but also wild animals."
Chen Futu rechecked the doors and windows, then called up the regional channel. Sure enough, messages about strange phenomena in the night sky flooded the group chat.
Many people took photos and posted them on the channel, and for a time the whole of Philadelphia was in an uproar, with most people joking about whether the intensity was about to increase.
They can laugh now, but in a few hours, they'll have nowhere to cry.
Chen Futu regained his composure and realized that all the elderly folks who stayed up all night had come out to watch the excitement; perhaps before long, they themselves would become part of the excitement.
Time passed slowly, and suddenly an older woman who had been chatting enthusiastically collapsed to the ground, convulsing as if she were having an epileptic seizure. The crowd scattered in horror, followed by more and more shouts.
One by one, the elderly people collapsed, wailing and pleading for help, their postures varied as they fell ill.
Chen Futu quietly looked down at the chaotic neighborhood.
The calamities of illness are the result of the spread of the aura that flows back from the Heavenly Rift.
Chen Futu shook his head, pondered for a moment, drew the curtains, and lay back on the bed. He needed to wait, because the last time the demon descended, a ball of flesh shot into the city of Wa from the Sky's Edge. No ball of flesh had appeared yet; this was just the prelude.
Just to be on the safe side, Chen Futu asked Chen Huang and Qin Mo through the group chat.
Qin Mo said that with him there, he would definitely take good care of Chen Huang and her brother, and Chen Huang also said that she was safe and had not been affected.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. The siblings are what the system calls the chosen ones, and they also have heterochromia, so they should be able to block out the influence.
"This is……"
Chen Futu's body also felt slightly unwell; for example, a scab on his skin that had appeared at some unknown time began to bleed, but it was quickly suppressed by his power.
"Damn it, my wounds that I've had for over ten years are starting to bleed."
"I have mild nephritis, and it's getting more and more painful."
"I have inflammation in my lungs and I'm having difficulty breathing."
……
The channel was in an uproar as people in towns and cities surrounding Philadelphia began experiencing health problems. Fortunately, they were all minor ailments, nothing life-threatening, and would subside with time.
Next, the urban management authorities stepped in and issued an emergency notification about the anomaly via the channel.
The crying and screaming continued downstairs in the Sunshine Residential Complex.
Many people tried to call for help, but it was no use. Medical resources are extremely strained right now. Even though each faction has its own medical facilities, they are too busy to care for ordinary people.
"Tonight is destined to be a tough night."
The chaos within the regional channels continues.
A new wave of apocalyptic frenzy has truly arrived!
"My God, my dog is biting me like crazy!"
"It was terrifying. Rats from the sewers were coming out and biting people. If I hadn't run fast, I probably would have been bitten too."
"Who says otherwise? My cat and mouse chased me together."
"The corridor is infested with rats. We just cleaned out almost a whole truckload of dead rats."
“We have an unlucky kid here who got bitten on a lychee; it’s unbearable to look at.”
"It is said that many specially built breeding farms have gone out of control, and legions from various factions have been mobilized."
As Chen Futu watched the messages flooding his screen, his mood grew increasingly gloomy. He exited the group chat and saw many messages from his friends, all from Ge Fei and Bing Fei'er.
Chen Futu replied to the message, and there was a suppressed voice on the other end, "Husband, are you alright? I saw on the regional channel that Philadelphia is experiencing a new wave of frenzy. Please be careful."
"I'm very good."
"Are you really not hurt?"
"No."
"This fluctuation has a wide range, and Chaotic Realm Mountain has also been affected to some extent. A female captain in Chaotic Realm Mountain had her nose bitten off by her berserk teammates at night."
"Everyone, stay alert and pay attention to using the crystal core powder to suppress the pollution. Do a good job of defending Luanjie Mountain in the near future."
Chen Futu gave serious instructions.
Then Bingfeier joined in, "Great Chief, there are many more poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the Chaotic Realm Mountain. They attack people on sight. It's no longer safe outside the city. The mutated beings have gone berserk, and many people have died."
"Don't worry about me, just take care of yourselves."
After giving his friend a few more instructions, Chen Futu hung up the phone, put on his earphones, and stopped paying attention to the outside world.
I slept soundly until dawn.
Chen Futu quickly washed up and then pulled back the curtains.
The sky was foggy, and the sun was not visible.
The neighborhood was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of last night. There were even corpses that had been torn apart by something and were rotten beyond recognition.
Chen Futu pondered for a moment, then tossed a teacup down.
With a loud bang, the sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the area. Suddenly, three blood-soaked figures, like wild dogs unleashed, appeared out of nowhere. At this moment, they could no longer be called human.
Three figures, three forms.
The first person died of lung disease; a large hole blew into his chest cavity, exposing his white bones and empty chest cavity to the air.
The other one probably died of a brain disease; half of his head was missing, and brain matter and mucus were flowing down his grotesque face.
The last one resembled a fleshy tumor, with a large hole in its abdomen from which green fleshy flower buds grew, making it extremely sinister.
"People who die from different diseases become mutated individuals, exhibiting different forms of distortion. The stronger ones possess attack methods related to their diseases, while the weakest are all at the fourth rank. It seems that this specialized entity is much stronger than the spirit."
Chen Futu was shocked, and then threw another cup down, which attracted other strange and mutated creatures. Among them was an old woman who crawled on all fours at an incredibly fast speed. She looked terrifying and was actually a sixth-order creature.
"Good heavens, are they going to wipe out Philadelphia?"
"What exactly is happening to the heavens?"
Chen Futu muttered to himself as he opened his phone; the regional channel was filled with bright red headlines.
Everyone was crying and cursing, demanding to know what had happened.
The city management issued a statement saying that they have deployed troops to eliminate the mutated entities and hope that the residents of the inner city will stay at home, lock their doors and windows, and avoid going out as much as possible.
"It's not that easy."
Chen Futu had fought against the demons; the specialized forms were very strange, and he knew how difficult they were to eliminate.
The legions in the inner city are also human; they will be affected just as much, and they even suffered more pollution than normal people last night.
Even the strongest warriors inevitably get injured during training. The blood scabs formed from old and new wounds can cause massive blood loss in an instant, which is no joke. Even if they don't die, at least half of the legion's combat power is now gone, and it will be too late by the time they recover.
Moreover, the mutated species bite normal people and spew out special disease factors, causing normal people to suffer from secondary illness.
A second infection is more dangerous than the initial infection; once infected, it's a miracle if half of the people survive.
