At 11 p.m., Los returned to the conference room and sat down again, then shared the information he had just obtained.
After listening, Kos said in a low voice, "Its current form is somewhat like my mother in her later years. Since it came from the sea, its attribute must be water. As long as it is removed from the water area, its combat power will be greatly reduced."
The others were unaware of this and looked at Los with puzzled expressions.
Los nodded: "Kos is right. The dark clouds above the artificial ancient god are following it as it pours rain, and its path of progress is along the Miskatonic River."
Kingston immediately said, "Mayor, if that's the case, we should close the sluice gates as soon as possible to prevent those monsters from entering the city via the waterways."
Daryl shook his head: "That's not a good idea. Closing the gate can certainly stop those monsters from coming in, but if those monsters attack wildly, the steel plates at the gate won't be able to hold out for that long."
“After the steel plate is damaged, the subsequent repair costs and engineering work are not small.”
“At this point, we can’t afford to worry about anything else. We should try to delay as much as possible!” Joseph said.
Upon hearing this, Danny calmly said, "Mr. Joseph, don't drag us into your anxiety. For us, this disaster is just a small part of the many problems Arkham will face in the future. It's worth having us sit here for a meeting, but it's not worth making any major sacrifices for it."
Kingston and the other six were taken aback when they heard this. Then they suddenly realized that the Arkham people sitting there were all displaying a mysterious confidence and composure, as if nothing was a big deal to them as long as the sky didn't fall.
After a brief silence, Kingston turned to look at Los: "Mr. Mayor."
Los calmly replied, "Our plan is as follows."
That night, most of Arkham's residents were still unaware of what had happened, enjoying the quiet of the night and the sweetness of their dreams.
Meanwhile, the entire Arkham municipal government and nearly 20,000 troops were making arrangements and preparations.
Meanwhile, all the top executives of organizations in Arkham City, under the mayor's coordination, cooperated with each other, like a machine being fully assembled for the first time, and began to operate with precision and speed.
Saturday, October 9.
I had just gotten up at eight o'clock in the morning when I discovered that the sun in the east had not risen as expected.
It was a bright and sunny day, but the sun was nowhere to be seen early in the morning.
The dazed crowd turned to look, their eyes widening in horror as they sat down on the ground, bewildered.
Many of them, who had poor mental resilience, fainted instantly.
At this very moment, in the east, a vast expanse of dark, frightening clouds covered the sky. The gray-black clouds, like blocks of lead, gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.
Beneath the leaden clouds, torrential rain and howling winds raged, but the already bizarre weather was not all they had to worry about.
At this very moment, beneath the dark clouds, amidst the raging wind and rain, stood an enormous monster.
This monster stood between heaven and earth, like a monster supporting the heavens and earth, but it did not have any sense of majesty. Instead, it was extremely ferocious, and just one look was enough to make people feel fear and dare not look at it a second time.
The body, over 300 meters tall, stood there, its thin frame surrounded by strong limbs and wings that were struggling to spread.
The grotesque, enormous head of the octopus indicates that it does not belong to any species known to humankind.
As the inhabitants of Arkham stared in disbelief at the terrifying monster, they saw its somewhat tattered wings slowly open before suddenly flapping.
Whirring whirring!
In an instant, a gale exceeding level nine, accompanied by rain and a foul, fishy odor, rushed towards us.
The raindrops flying at high speed left many people with bruises on their skin.
"Is the end of the world coming?" all the people thought in despair.
Chapter 0154 Arkham Lives Forever! (Second Update)
A terrifying gale, accompanied by foul-smelling raindrops, swept through Arkham. Some people busy in the streets were blown away and injured, while others were slammed against walls, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.
Some people's cars were blown away, some people's clothes were blown to the horizon, and some people...
Fear, screams, and chaos filled Arkham in an instant.
Just as Arkham was about to descend into chaos, a male voice suddenly rang out beside them, accompanied by the sound of electricity.
"Citizens of Arkham, do not be afraid."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the panicked citizens were immediately relieved, for it was the voice of Mayor Arkham.
They looked around in confusion, only to find to their surprise that the loudspeaker near their home, which had been broken for some time, had been repaired.
Then Los's voice continued: "Citizens of Arkham, a terrifying monster has emerged from the ocean, intending to devour all the heroic spirits of the Empire, and we of Arkham have naturally become the monster's first target."
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was once again drawn to the terrifying monster, and their hearts began to tremble uncontrollably.
Los's voice continued: "The Empire has abandoned us. They have cut off our retreat with their army, intending to make us food for this monster, to use our cities as their testing grounds, and to use the rest of us as miserable experimental subjects."
Upon hearing this, an indescribable anger surged within all the citizens, gradually replacing their previous fear.
They were aware of the recent unusual activity: the army had surrounded Arkham, preventing its people from traveling inland, and was continuously sending troops to Arkham in an attempt to strip the mayor of his power.
Just a few days ago, they were driving cars and tanks around the city, preventing their shops from opening, raping women at night, and attacking innocent local citizens. They know all of this very well.
"I knew it! The Empire has long abandoned us, as can be seen from its policies over the years!" The citizens of the backward and impoverished Arkham have naturally long expressed their dissatisfaction with the Empire's policies.
Then, Los's voice rang out again: "The Empire has abandoned us, but we cannot abandon ourselves, citizens of Arkham, do not be afraid! As long as I, Los Arkham, am here, I will not allow this monster to set foot in our city!"
"As long as I, Los Arkham, am here, the Empire's evil plans will not succeed!"
"As long as I, Los Arkham, am here, I will not allow any disaster to befall our city!"
"As long as Los Arkham exists, we, Arkham, will live on forever!"
"Citizens of Arkham! Your mayor will never abandon you!"
As soon as Los's impassioned voice fell, the sound of continuous cannon fire instantly resounded throughout the eastern part of the city.
At this moment, the citizens, stirred by Los's words and filled with emotion and excitement, looked over and saw the monster take two steps back amidst the continuous bombardment.
At this moment, the continuous shelling and the resulting repulsion pushed the momentum and authenticity of Los's words to their peak!
"Long live the mayor! Long live the mayor!"
It's unclear who first shouted this slogan, but in just over ten seconds, it swept across all nine districts of Arkham.
At this moment, all the citizens were flushed, their faces filled with fervor, raising their arms and shouting.
At this moment, the place they hold in their hearts most revered is only one place.
The witches in the witch's house couldn't control their emotions and unknowingly raised their arms and began to shout.
Minisa, standing to the side, remained relatively calm, clenching her fists but not stopping the priestesses' shouts.
At this moment, she knew that Los's power was now unshakeable, and no one could stop him from unifying Arkham.
Elizabeth's expression was also very complicated. She knew very well that from now on, Arkham would no longer recognize the Empire, but only Los Arkham.
But there was nothing she could do, because Los was now beyond their control.
The same was true for Dr. Laban in the North District. At this moment, the citizens of the entire North District, whether on the streets or at home, were raising their arms and shouting with fervor.
What silenced the shouts was a deafening, terrifying roar.
Enraged by the attack, the monster braced itself, its tentacles around its mouth wide open, and let out an incredibly piercing and terrifying howl.
Everyone who heard the shout turned pale and quickly covered their ears.
Fortunately, the howling didn't last long and the distance was far enough that the citizens were only slightly disoriented and had no other problems.
Then Los's powerful voice rang out again: "Now listen to my orders, all companies and shops in Arkham shall cease operations today, and everyone shall return to their homes for refuge. Those who do not have a home, or who believe that their home is not secure enough, may seek out the patrolling police officers on the streets, who will take them to the City Hall and the Arkham Sanatorium for refuge."
Then, Los shouted, "Arkham police and all forces, I now order you to protect the safety of the people at all costs. I will not allow any civilian to die because of this!"
As the sound faded, while everyone was still stunned, small teams of five appeared on every street in the city. Some were police officers, some were dressed as temporary police officers, and some were even their familiar friends.
"That monster has the ability to throw other monsters. All citizens, hide indoors and try not to come out!"
With these reminders and the mayor's order, the people snapped out of their daze and, without any disobedience, quickly returned to their homes or shops, then closed the doors and windows and waited quietly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shelling on the east side of the city continued, bringing a slight sense of reassurance to the people.
Just then, the people suddenly heard a series of crashing sounds.
Looking at them with strange expressions, they turned around and were shocked to find that the sky, which had just been clear and sunny, had suddenly started to rain heavily.
However, what truly terrified them was not the heavy rain, but the monsters that accompanied it.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
The sound of mud falling from the sky kept coming.
As people peered curiously out of their windows, a hideous monster suddenly appeared outside and stared at them.
The next second, just as these ferocious monsters raised their claws to smash the window, a series of imposing figures flashed by.
While the crowd was still reeling from the shock, they saw Arkham police officers already wrestling with the monsters.
Chapter 0155 Monster, Police, and Citizens (Third Update)
The people stared in horror at the monsters, which looked like fish with thick scales on their skin, hunched over, and had ferocious fangs and sharp claws.
Their joints and backs were covered with sharp spikes, which was quite frightening.
Many children burst into tears the moment they see them.
A massive number of monsters descended from the sky amidst torrential rain; this should have been the end of Arkham, a catastrophe for all its people.
But now, things are different. Because they have Mayor Arkham, and because they have the police force trained by Mayor Arkham himself.
Families huddled together, hiding behind their houses, watching the battle outside through their windows.
They feared those terrifying monsters, for a single glance from them was enough to give them nightmares for days.
But even then, they insisted on watching because they cared about the police officers protecting them.
Hundreds of battles are taking place simultaneously in Arkham's nine districts.
During the fight, the crowd clearly saw that a brave policeman punched the monster away, and when the monster fell to the ground, the spikes on its back could easily pierce the stone slabs on the ground. This was enough to show that the monsters' bodies were sharper and harder than the props in their homes.
"What kind of monster is this?!" The people kept thinking about these things.
These monsters were incredibly agile in the heavy rain, moving with the ease of fish in water. Their speed was so great that ordinary people couldn't even catch a glimpse of them.
They have no rationality; their instinct seems to be to kill all the humans in front of them.
"Go, police officers! Go, police officers!" All the children, watching the battle, cried as they clenched their little fists to cheer on the police.
Fortunately, their police force is not weak.
Faced with such terrifying speed, the Arkham police displayed a level of bravery that exceeded everyone's expectations.
