Doomsday police, please show your god/demon ID card.

The wheels rolled over the debris on the ground, the faint sounds amplified infinitely in this absolute silence, like stepping on everyone's nerves.

Everyone in the car held their breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Fortunately, these headless zombies were truly like statues, showing no reaction to any living thing passing by.

The convoy made it safely into the ramp entrance of the underground parking lot.

"call……"

Only after the car had completely entered the parking lot and blocked the view of the lobby did Wang Hu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Captain Tang, what exactly is this queen? She's severing all these zombies' heads just so they can pose for pictures?"

"I don't know," Tang Long shook his head, answering honestly.

"You guys say..." a young team member's voice came through the walkie-talkie, trembling with barely suppressed emotion, "Are they offering sacrifices to something? Or are they worshipping someone?"

No one has answered this question.

Or rather, the answer is already obvious, but no one is willing to believe it.

"Perhaps, this is a ritual," Su Yan said softly, "a ritual that we cannot yet understand."

Tang Long didn't participate in the discussion and glanced around.

The underground parking lot was darker and damper than the lobby, and the walls were covered with moss and water stains in the view of the car headlights.

The eerie headless zombies were gone, but some ordinary infected creatures were scattered around.

Before they could even roar, Luo Yongchao in the car behind had already used a silenced sniper rifle through the firing port on the roof to accurately take them down one by one.

Puff, puff, puff.

A few soft sounds, and the world returned to silence.

The convoy wound its way through the parking lot, and just as it was about to reach the exit, Wang Hu suddenly slammed on the brakes.

"Wait! There's someone up ahead!"

Tang Long also looked over. In the distance, illuminated by the car headlights, a man in a security guard uniform was squatting on the ground with his back to the convoy, his shoulders heaving as if he were crying.

"Survivors?" Tang Long asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Something's not right," Su Yan said immediately. "I can't sense his emotions; he's like an empty shell."

Everyone immediately perked up. Tang Long squinted and silently placed his finger on the trigger of the Type 95 rifle.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the "security guard" who had been squatting slowly stood up and turned around.

He has no head.

The cut on the neck was exactly the same as the ones I had seen before.

Strangely, after turning around, he didn't put his hands together like the other headless zombies. Instead, he raised his hands and made a "come here" gesture towards the convoy.

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

What is this going to do?

Tang Long's heart tightened.

Before anyone could react, a young police officer in charge of communications suddenly looked confused.

"Lily? Is that you, Lily?" he murmured to himself, a surprised smile spreading across his face.

"I knew you weren't dead! Were you waiting for me here?"

As he spoke, he began to unbuckle his seatbelt and reached for the car door.

"Xiao Tang! Are you crazy?! Wake up!" The old police officer next to him was shocked and angry, and grabbed him.

"Don't touch me! Lily is waiting for me!" The young police officer suddenly broke free with a burst of strength, opened the car door, and was about to jump out.

"It's a hallucination!" Su Yan shouted urgently, "His mind has been invaded!"

Tang Long reacted instantly: "Jack-a-mole! Quick!"

Wang Hu reacted extremely quickly, immediately opening the metal box next to him and pressing the switch.

hum-

A burst of extremely piercing high-frequency noise suddenly erupted.

The sound was like countless steel needles piercing people's eardrums, making everyone feel dizzy.

The young police officer, who was walking towards the headless security guard with a silly grin, suddenly shuddered as if he had been electrocuted.

"Hiss~~" He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud.

The wild, ecstatic smile on his face receded like the tide, leaving only endless terror and bewilderment.

"I..."

"What's wrong with me?"

The headless security guard waving ahead froze the moment the noise started, then fell straight down like a puppet with its strings cut, and never came to a sound again.

"It works!" Wang Hu exclaimed in surprise.

Tang Long, however, dared not relax for a moment: "Quick! Get him in the car! Let's rush out!"

Two officers immediately jumped out of the car and helped the still bewildered young officer back into the vehicle.

Wang Hu floored the accelerator, and the armored vehicle roared toward the exit.

With a loud crash, the convoy slammed open the roller shutter door blocking the exit and returned to the ground.

The light returned, but the streets were still filled with headless zombies.

Everyone held their breath!

No one expected that there would be so many headless zombies here as well.

Wang Hu hesitated, his hands trembling as he gripped the steering wheel: "Captain Tang, should we still go?"

"Go!" Tang Long shouted without hesitation.

He no longer cared about anything else; even if, as Su Yan said, it would awaken some terrifying being, he didn't care.

Wang Hu gritted his teeth and slammed on the gas pedal.

Boom~

The car roared and charged forward.

Fortunately, the headless zombies ignored the convoy that was speeding past and continued in their "pilgrimage" posture.

The convoy dared not stop and sped along the street.

Tang Long only ordered the car to stop after driving two or three kilometers and completely leaving that strange area behind.

Inside the carriage, the young police officer, who had just escaped danger, was pale and trembling.

"Captain Tang... I... I just saw my girlfriend, she... she's waiting for me up ahead..."

"I know." Tang Long handed him a bottle of water: "That's an illusion, an illusion created by the Queen."

He felt a chill run down his spine; the scene he had just witnessed was so similar to what he had experienced on the balcony.

"Su Yan, how are you feeling?" Tang Long looked at the back seat.

Su Yan's lips were a little pale. She shook her head: "It's alright. The mental shock just now was very strong, but it wasn't aimed at me. However..."

She paused, looked towards the city center, her eyes serious.

"I just managed to pinpoint its location."

"Where?" Tang Long's spirits lifted.

"It's blurry, like looking at something underwater. But I'm certain the source is on top of the tallest building in the city center, the International Trade Center!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Long frowned slightly.

Global Trade Building!

The pride of Dongyun City, a 108-story building, nearly 500 meters tall, rises from the ground!

For this small county town, which is only a fourth or fifth-tier city, it can be described as a pillar supporting the sky!

When the building was first completed, many citizens went there to take photos.

It's only a 20-minute drive from here as the crow flies! Even with thick fog, it won't take more than 40 minutes.

It can be said that they are very close to the eye of the storm.

Tang Long took a deep breath: "Everyone, check your equipment and maintain the highest level of alert."

"Target: Global Trade Center."

"yes!"
