I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 541

But under the military's blockade, these people were heading not towards hope, but towards an abyss of despair.

Not long after.

Those long steel dragons came to a standstill on the roadside.

Countless vehicles were forced to stop on the road.

Inside the car, someone was clinging weakly to the steering wheel;

Some people clutched their chests in anguish;

In desperation, some people started honking their horns in a frenzy of frustration.

The piercing horns of cars echoed across the road, but instead of dispelling people's despair, they seemed to strike their fragile hearts like a series of heavy blows.

Countless people walked off the stalled roads and surged toward the intersections blocked by the military.

Trying to break through that line of defense and embrace new life.

However, in order to prevent the spread of the extraordinary plague, the military showed no mercy this time.

After verbal persuasion proved ineffective.

The heavy machine guns placed on the makeshift defensive line became a deterrent used to persuade them by force.

Before the defensive line.

Those who tried to force their way through but were riddled with bullets are enough to demonstrate the military's determination to persuade them by force this time.

of course.

To prevent the citizens of Simon Hart from escalating into a full-blown rebellion and causing large-scale bloodshed.

While the military used force to "persuade" those who attempted to break through the border, it also sent people from other nearby cities to transport a large amount of medical resources that are now scarce in Simon Hart.

On the other side of the checkpoint, soldiers in protective suits registered those crowding in front of the checkpoint and then distributed these scarce medical resources in Simon Hart City free of charge based on the registered information.

Relying on overwhelming military force, coupled with a glimmer of hope evoked by the slow but certainly effective distribution of medical resources, the military managed to quell the unrest among the crowd.

Although the military used signal jammers to suppress and block information transmission over a wide area, news from these checkpoints still inevitably leaked out.

Anxiety and fear quickly spread throughout the city.

And it's getting worse.

Inside the private clinic at 66 Monte Street.

Looking haggard, Jennifer took the last Advil pill from a pack of pills, mixed it with water, and poured it into the mouth of a Chinese girl with a persistent high fever.

Beside the little girl, a young Chinese couple looked at Jennifer with gratitude.

Although they were extremely grateful to Jennifer, they were also pale and lacked the medication to suppress their emotions, so they no longer had the strength to express their gratitude.

Looking at the elderly couple, both suffering from the flu, a hint of guilt appeared in Jennifer's kind eyes.

As the flu continues to spread and proliferate.

The clinic's stock of various medicines was already running low.

The Advil tablet Jennifer just fed the little girl was the last one in the clinic, and it was also the last glimmer of hope Jennifer had left for herself.

now.

He placed this hope in the little girl who was in a coma with a high fever.

She has done her best.

But there's really very little she can do.

But there are tens of thousands of patients like the little girl and the young Chinese couple in this city.

Looking at the gray, gloomy sky outside the clinic, which seemed to offer no hope whatsoever, Jennifer felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

·······

Feel the ever-present sense of fear permeating the air above the city.

As he walked through the streets of Simon Hart City, mingling with the crowd, Wu Xinmo took a deep breath.

He then revealed a look of utter enjoyment and rapture.

"What a beautiful, pure aura of terror!"

"No wonder the old man is so nostalgic about the human world. Compared to those lowly demons in hell who only know how to kill, these humans possess such rich emotions, and their numbers are just too great..."

"The human world is truly wonderful."

Under the combined influence of the Inherited Authority and the Throne of Fear.

The fear permeating the sky above Simonhardt City was constantly absorbed and transformed by the Witchheart Demon. At this moment, the shadow of the Witchheart Demon seemed to be distorted, constantly lengthening.

But as time goes by...

The aura of the Demonic Heart was also rising steadily, continuously increasing in intensity.

The injuries inflicted by Carter Slade and Erin were healing at a visible speed under the nourishment of that immense aura of fear.

Flesh and blood, bones, the tattered demon wings, and even the power that was extinguished when the Witchheart Demon crossed the Earth's protective barrier, all began to recover under the nourishment of fear.

Before long, the Demon Heart, whose true form was scarred and broken and had only been partially restored through repeated blood sacrifices, returned to normal amidst the surging tide of fear.

The curved horns on the head of the Witchheart Demon, which to some extent symbolize the authority of demons, are now showing signs of growing again.

This indicates that Wu Xinmo's understanding of the origin of fear is deepening, and it also means that Wu Xinmo's mastery of the laws of fear is becoming increasingly powerful.

Just as the Demon Heart was devouring the ever-growing fear in the city, he was incredibly grateful for his arrangements with the Water Demon Lord.

The seemingly blissful Wu Xinmo suddenly sensed something, and his handsome face suddenly darkened.

It was as if it had eaten shit, becoming extremely ugly.

"Those annoying guys again, they just never seem to stop!"

After saying that, Wu Xinmo lowered his head, feeling the power rising within him. His lips slowly twitched, and he said in a chilling tone, "However, this time, everything will be over."

In a daze.

At this moment, Wu Xinmo's mouth seemed to suddenly transform into a gaping maw of sharp teeth, and his charmingly handsome face silently turned into a terrifying and chilling expression.

call out!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xinmo's figure flickered and transformed into a terrifying black light, instantly disappearing into the shadows on both sides of the street.

at the same time.

After passing through the portal that was constantly bursting with golden and red sparks.

Erin, Gillies, Wanda, and Pietro appeared aboard a large ship sailing on the Becco River.

At this moment, on this large ship.

A large number of people gathered there.

The white-bearded Archmage Gandalf, the dark-skinned, lean and capable Mordo, and a group of wizards standing ready for battle.

Below the large ship, whirlpools rose and fell, the river water surged, and the waves made the ship beneath them rock violently, as if it would capsize at any moment.

Amidst the rising and falling of those whirlpools, enormous black shadows could be seen passing beneath the large ship they were aboard.

"when!"

With a loud bang, a golden-red magical halo quickly lit up one side of the ship.

However, the golden-red magic shield was quickly shattered by the collision with a large, dark blue fish over three meters long, covered in thick scales, which was determined to perish together with it.

Ok.

It was truly a mutual destruction.

Although the golden-red magic shield was shattered, the giant blue fish that had lived in the Bekos River for who knows how long was smashed to pieces, and its body was turned into a puddle of mud.

but.

There are many such large fish in the Bekos River.

Under the influence of some unknown force, these giant fish went berserk, turning red and desperately ramming the large ship beneath their feet.

of course.

Erin did not believe that these large fish were there voluntarily.

I didn't see how that elk crashed into me.

It's even more unclear that no matter how much an ordinary fish accelerates, it's impossible for it to break through a golden-red magic shield that can withstand missile bombardment.

But the next moment.

They saw those large fish in the whirlpool, using the rapidly spinning eddy to accelerate their centrifugal force to the maximum, and then bombarding them like a mine.

Erin understood.

"Damn it, another fish is charging from the left, everyone watch out."

With a roar, another peacock eel charged at the left side of the boat.

This fish is more ferocious than the bighead carp, and its fate is even more tragic.

"Thump!"

It was accompanied by a loud, muffled thud.

That two-meter-long peacock eel was completely reduced to a pile of minced meat, with blood splattered everywhere.

Looking into the distance, one vortex vanished, only for a second to rise rapidly.

Arlin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Grand Master Gandalf, Grand Master Mordo, what's going on?"

Before Gandalf could speak, Mordo, who was somewhat talkative, shrugged and said forcefully, "What else could it be? It's that guy in the water who's behind this."

"You and the king guessed right. The section of the river he patrolled before was where the water demon hid his things."

"Just as we were advancing layer by layer and shrinking in size, the thing in the water showed up."

"First, he gave us a hard time, capsizing one of our ships. When he saw that we were on guard and had no way to stop him, he capsized a second ship and then used these live 'torpedoes' to try to ram and sink the ships we were on."

At this point, Mordo smacked his lips and continued, "But speaking of which, I don't know what that demon is. These living 'torpedoes' are indeed very powerful in the water. Just now, a small boat was blocking its way from us, and a big blue carp about four meters long directly knocked the small boat in half. The power of that is not much different from that of a real torpedo."

Hearing this, Erin nodded, then asked with some confusion, "Then why are you just waiting and not retaliating? Is there no way to solve this problem?"

At this moment, the Archmage Gandalf spoke up: "We tried to fight back, but it was no use. These water demons are too difficult to deal with in the water. Before our attacks even landed on them, they turned into water and scattered to the side."

"And these fish... to be honest, we don't know how to deal with these crazy things."

Just as Gandalf and Arryn were talking, another large fish, like a cannonball, crashed into the ship beneath their feet.

this time.

The golden-red magic shield that rose again blocked the creature, but the massive current and force of its desperate impact still caused the ship beneath them to shake violently.

"Wow, good for you."

"Are these big fish completely hypnotized, or what? How come they're all so fearless?"

As the boat rocked, Erin merely swayed slightly, easily regaining his footing like an old sailor who had spent most of his life on the water.

At this time.

Wanda, seemingly very interested in these large fish, had red light flashing on her hands as she pulled and tugged.

A large fish that was rushing towards them from not far away was lifted out of the water by Wanda.

As she maneuvered the large fish to fly in front of her, Wanda quickly noticed the red light flashing in its eyes.

Is it hypnosis? Or mind control?

Wanda, who possesses telepathic abilities, quickly discovered the root of the problem with the giant fish.

"What a pathetic guy."

As Wanda injected a burst of spiritual energy into the giant fish's mind, the spiritual imprint within the fish's mind was quickly dispelled, and even the red light in its eyes dimmed rapidly.

Ok?

alright?

After the red light in its eyes dissipated, the huge fish's eyes became clear and foolish again.

Mordo and Gandalf looked at each other, seemingly unable to believe that the problem that had troubled them for so long had been solved so easily.

"It doesn't seem that difficult."

After removing the mental influence on the giant fish, Wanda looked at the large blue fish floating in front of her in shock, as if she had never thought that she had succeeded so easily.

Wanda couldn't believe it, and the monks around her were equally incredulous.

On the contrary, it was Erin who, after sensing the fluctuation of that mental power, quickly understood how Wanda had done it.

The power of the mind?

After pondering for a moment, Erin said thoughtfully, "Wanda, mark this fish. Once it's marked, we'll throw it out. Let's see if it's been hypnotized by that water demon in the river when we pull it back up."

"it is good."

Upon hearing Erin's words, Wanda waved her hand to the side, and the large fish that had been bound in mid-air by chaotic magic was immediately thrown into the Bekos River.

"Thump!"

With a loud crash, the large fish, which had splashed water everywhere after falling into the water, seemed to suddenly wake up and then frantically fled into the distance.

After the first example demonstration.

When faced with the surging giant fish once again, the others on the ship quickly had a second option.

That is, when they are physically exhausted, they can use the dimensional portal to send these big fish to Scarlet Witch and have Wanda help them deal with these big fish with bloodshot eyes.

At Erin's suggestion.

Those large fish painstakingly summoned by the water demon.

Just a second ago, Wanda broke the mind control of the water demons on them, and the next second, Erin knocked them unconscious with a single blow.

These fish, chosen by the water demons, can grow to three or four meters long and are considered the finest food.

After selecting one of each type as an ingredient.

Ailin put all the remaining large fish into his spatial ring and packed them up for the little monsters to take back.
