Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 26: Taboo Item Characteristics Explodes

Seeing the commotion among the ships on the sea, Li Nanke realized that things might be getting worse.

What was bad was not only the threat from the forbidden object in his hand... because the forbidden object originally did not have any major hidden dangers, and the security and defense level of Area A91 was relatively lax, which gave him the opportunity to seize the forbidden object fragment.

But now that an unexpected situation has occurred, the Crisis Management Bureau will definitely greatly increase its attention to this taboo and will likely send a large number of personnel to provide support or even block the entire safe zone.

By then, the forbidden object fragment in his hand would become a hot potato. Not only would the fragment itself be a huge threat, it could also lead to major threats.

"I hope the worst doesn't happen, otherwise I can only visualize the forbidden objects in advance..."

Li Nanke's face was gloomy. He did not intend to wait until the 90-day limit to visualize the forbidden object, but entering the next dream just two days later was not in his plan either.

His original plan was to wait and see for a while after obtaining the first forbidden object, preferably to find an opportunity to obtain specific information about another forbidden object.

After all, the outbreak of forbidden objects is irregular and without regular patterns. If there is no outbreak of forbidden objects within the next 90 days, he will have no place to intercept them even if he wants to.

Obtaining specific information about the next forbidden object in advance, or even when you have already obtained the next forbidden object, visualizing the previous forbidden object entering your dream to strengthen yourself is the most reasonable method of sustainable development and the perfect strategy for preparing for a rainy day.

The unexpected changes completely disrupted Li Nanke's plans.

The commotion among the ships at sea also caused some panic among the rapid response forces on the shore. Li Nanke lurked for a long time before he found an opportunity to dive and swim back to the shore during the chaos.

But before they returned to the disaster area, the super-large salvage ship on the sea caught fire. Amid the thick smoke, countless figures jumped into the sea wailing. Some of them were so horribly distorted that they seemed no longer human.

Seeing this, Li Nanke's face darkened, he cursed inwardly and immediately returned to the disaster area.

The ruins were extremely noisy, with crowds of people and swaying lights, making it a complete mess.

The high-intensity rescue work continued until the early hours of the morning. Without the assistance of electronic mechanical equipment, the rescue work had to rely entirely on manpower. Even an iron man would have found it difficult to bear the effort, not to mention that the rescue team had traveled a long distance without any rest.

Some team members had already collapsed from exhaustion and had gone back to the basement to take turns resting, but now they were awakened by the strange situation at sea and huddled together in panic.

The terrifying shadow of the forbidden object spread quietly and unknowingly, and not only the rescue team from the Foundation, but also the rescue personnel from the old federal government and the few victims who had not yet been evacuated were extremely panicked.

"William! I couldn't find you just now. Where did you go?!"

When Harson saw Li Nanke finally show up, he breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but feel a little bit of blame.

"Leader, I just went to the bathroom. What's going on at sea?"

"Don't worry about it for now, come here quickly, the Foundation's temporary command center wants everyone to gather and be prepared to evacuate at any time!"

The foundation's rescue team had arrived at the disaster area less than 12 hours earlier, which meant they had to withdraw right after arriving. It was a bit funny, but few people in the rescue team raised any objections at this time, and few could laugh.

Holson's group was not the first rescue team sent by the Foundation. A large number of people knew before they came that the forbidden object did not pose any threat. It would only cause electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic pulses, and some precision electronic devices could not be used. Rescue operations like this would at most be a little tiring, but would not cause much danger.

But seeing the ship alarms and fires on the sea, many people couldn't help but regret participating in the rescue.

Li Nanke thought, it would be best if they could evacuate. But he knew that there was little hope. The forbidden object might have developed its secondary property. The Crisis Management Bureau would probably block the safe zone and not let people leave. After all, who knows if this outbreak is contagious, and whether the people in the disaster area, including the rescue team, are considered infected.

The original body had experienced a terrible forbidden disaster and knew something about the various handling procedures after the disaster broke out.

The fact was just as he expected. Before the rescue team was ready to evacuate, the temporary command center canceled the evacuation notice it had just issued, and the rapid response force dispatched a number of armed security guards and soldiers to block the entrance to the safe zone.

At this time, the sound of dense gunfire came from the coastline, making the already panicked people even more frightened...

The Camellia super-large salvage vessel.

After being initially contained in the cabin, the machinery of the suspected artificial satellite was completely shattered. Mysterious bright red characters appeared on the scattered metal fragments, revealing the core object sealed in the satellite.

It was a blood-red stone tablet with a pointed top and an overall spiral shape similar to DNA, with countless bright red characters flashing on it.

Bastian, the leader of the containment task force, stood in front of the stone tablet, staring at the flashing characters on it with an extremely solemn look in his eyes.

The dead and deformed corpse at his feet kept twitching, and seemed to be coming back to life. Bastian stomped on it, and flesh and blood splattered under the trampling of his leather boots. The corpse was torn into pieces and there was no movement at all.

"Tell me, what have you researched these days?"

"Bastian, this is a huge secret! Also, why don't you take care of those deformed creatures outside?" The research director who had escaped death saw his subordinate's body completely shattered, and couldn't help swallowing and trembling.

"Matthew and the others can handle it. My job is to keep the forbidden objects contained. If you keep talking about confidentiality, I guarantee you'll become a corpse. Go ahead!"

"Your level is not high enough... Wait a minute, let me tell you."

Faced with the powerful containment's cold, murderous gaze, the research director could not bear the pressure and had to tell the truth.

"The artificial satellite is just a metal shell. The outer layer of metal has some related properties because it has been affected by the core for a long time. The real core is this stone tablet."

"Those electromagnetic pulses and electromagnetic interferences we thought were emitted by the stone tablet, but in fact they are not simple electromagnetic waves at all, but a very special high-energy electromagnetic signal that can even act on the cellular level."

"Electromagnetic signals have a certain form of cell reactivation ability, and also have the ability to activate and inhibit the expression of certain genes, especially genes related to cell apoptosis and regeneration. Even after the infected person dies, electromagnetic signals may still cause the dead person's cells to become active again."

"This electromagnetic signal also triggers the protein recombination in the bodies of the infected dead, eventually causing the dead to be distorted into a form different from that of normal organisms. This is what you see... the aberration."

Bastian concluded: "The feature is resurrection from the dead, the price is distortion, and the transmission method is electromagnetic signals? It doesn't sound special. They are just some zombies with strong vitality."

The research director was terrified when he heard this, and his body trembled. "That's not the case. We suspect that these are not the main effects of electromagnetic signals. The ability to revive is just a byproduct. In fact, it's more like..."

As he spoke, the research director looked around in panic. Even though they were the only two living people in the cabin, he still approached the containment team leader cautiously and whispered something.

Bastian was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Damn it! You really deserve to die!"
