Chapter 125: Chapter 115: IF Center Enshrouded in Black Mist [Vote for Monthly Tickets!]
But due to it nearing noon, there are also many people at the IF Center, totaling about seven to eight hundred.
Seven to eight hundred people—this could be said to be the instance event with the highest number of people since the advent of Abnormality.
Moreover, what’s important isn’t just that, but also the massive impact caused by the locking down of the IF Center.
After all, Changsha is considered an international tropolis; such a significant event happening here could easily captivate the entire nation’s attention.
Previous supernatural events had been minor and could be contained with conventional thods, along with confidentiality agreents and the efforts of relevant departnts, thus remaining largely unknown to the public.
But now, the situation is simply too challenging.
...
Because the IF Center is a landmark building in the entire city.
Even though ordinary people cannot see the enveloping black mist, the lockdown of the IF Center is absolutely startling news.
“Has Captain Zhou and his team already gone there?” On the highway, Mu Rufeng asked Zhao Dayong.
“Yes, they all went. If it hadn’t been for you being stuck in the training room, they would have called you. That’s why Captain Zhou asked to stay outside and call you every minute,” Zhao Dayong replied.
Mu Rufeng nodded and then took out his phone, opened TikTok, and casually scrolled through, finding no relevant information.
This was the result of the intervention by the relevant departnts.
Within the city’s internet realm, any bit of related information couldn’t be uploaded to those apps.

Although the news was temporarily contained within the city, it had already spread through nurous local group chats.
This had thrown Changsha into imnse shock.
Especially the people near the five hundred million business district.
anwhile, so tourists and many people who heard the news were converging towards the IF Center, wanting to see what was happening.
Fortunately, the relevant departnts rapidly deployed sufficient police and military resources to completely seal off the vicinity and prohibit pedestrian access.
However, the area outside was already packed tight.
During this ti, Mu Rufeng also called Captain Zhou, but only got a busy signal; he then called Cheng Youlin and Qu Lianhong, with the sa result.
When they reached the highway exit, the road leading off the highway was jam-packed and moving extrely slowly.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng knew they couldn’t just wait.
“Drive the car onto the green belt, we’ll walk from here,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Alright,” Zhao Dayong didn’t hesitate at all, imdiately steering the car up onto the curb and into the green belt.
The vehicle solidly parked amidst the green belt.
Fortunately, the green belt was all green grass, and the trees were spaced far enough apart to prevent any damage to the vehicle.
Mu Rufeng and Zhao Dayong got out of the car at once.
“Damn, dude, what are you trying to do?”
A BMW driver behind them stuck his head out in shock.
Other drivers were also stunned by Zhao Dayong’s maneuver.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?” At this mont, a traffic officer maintaining order promptly ran over.
Seeing this, Zhao Dayong quickly took out an identification card and showed it.
“We’re from the relevant departnts, we need to get to the IF Center imdiately, parking here shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Zhao Dayong said, the volu of his voice low.
Except for that officer and Mu Rufeng beside him, nobody else could hear.
“Uh… no problem.” The officer didn’t recognize the identification, but knew about the lockdown at the IF Center, so he probably thought they were indeed legitimate.
“Let’s go,” Mu Rufeng called out and swiftly ran towards their destination.
Hearing this, Zhao Dayong imdiately followed.
…
At exactly noon, Mu Rufeng alone squeezed out from the crowd and arrived outside the encirclent.
Zhao Dayong, due to stamina issues, had fallen behind, and it was unknown where he was now.
Around him, the crowds were noisy and boisterous.
A group of robust young soldiers ford a human wall, keeping the crowds entirely outside without any gaps.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng knew it would be difficult to enter the encirclent even if he showed his ID from the relevant departnt amidst the chaotic crowd.
Promptly, Mu Rufeng perford a sideway flip directly into the encirclent.
Imdiately, the surroundings opened up.
“Damn, that handso guy just flipped in there.”
“He’s amazing, did he just do a side flip?”
“Holy shit, isn’t this guy afraid of dying?”
“Aweso, but isn’t he afraid of getting shot on the spot?”
So of the onlookers who witnessed Mu Rufeng’s move were greatly shocked.
As soon as Mu Rufeng entered the encirclent, the soldiers on internal alert spotted him and approached coldly with guns drawn.
“Halt!”
“Don’t move, hands on your head!”
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng promptly showed the ID he had already taken out.
“I’m Mu Rufeng from the Wan City Branch of the relevant departnts, I received the orders and ca imdiately.”
Mu Rufeng didn’t dare to make any sudden movents, fearing that the jittery soldiers might accidentally send him to the hereafter.
Of course, Mu Rufeng wouldn’t be so easily killed nowadays.
A non-commissioned officer hurried forward, examined the credentials closely, and imdiately put down his gun.
“Hello, officer!” The soldier quickly saluted.
“Hello, officer!”
The rest of the soldiers also put away their guns at the first opportunity.
“Hello to you too, it’s been tough. I won’t chat more now; I’ll go check the situation,” Mu Rufeng said and then sprinted toward the inside.
The soldiers watched Mu Rufeng leave and then used their communicators to notify their colleagues inside before continuing to stand guard.
…
With the crowd gone, it only took Mu Rufeng a few minutes to reach Huangxin Square.
Across the street, the IF Center was enveloped in black fog.
At that mont, Mu Rufeng also saw the tent that had been set up temporarily.
Outside, there were many reserve players.
Mu Rufeng also saw a few familiar faces; they were staff from the Wan City Branch.
Surprisingly, he didn’t see a single official player outside.
“Mr. Mu, you’re here?” An acquaintance from the branch ca forward imdiately.
“Yes. What’s the situation like now?” Mu Rufeng walked briskly forward.
“The situation is very bad. Please go inside first; Captain Zhou is in there.”
“Okay.” Mu Rufeng nodded and walked into the tent.
At this mont, the tent was filled with people, all of whom were players.
Most were contractors who had bonded with abnormalities.
As soon as Mu Rufeng entered, he instantly drew a lot of attention.
“Captain Zhou, what exactly is the situation?” Mu Rufeng spotted Zhou Wen among the crowd.
“Where is the minister? Why don’t I see him or Captain Hei?” Mu Rufeng scanned the people inside the tent and spoke.
“They went in,” Zhou Wen replied.
Imdiately, Zhou Wen briefed Mu Rufeng on the situation.
When the black fog enveloped the entire shopping center, the relevant departnts discovered it instantly and arrived promptly.
When Tian Lin saw the building enveloped in black fog, he knew the situation had exceeded his expectations.
So, he first called in many people to start sealing off the area and then shut down the network, finally reporting to the relevant departnts headquartered in Capital City.
There was no choice, the people involved were too nurous, not to ntion such a bustling place.
The higher-ups’ directive was simple: to keep the casualty numbers of this incident as low as possible and to resolve this abnormal event as quickly as possible.
Regarding the great impact caused by this incident, they would address it after the event was resolved.
Tian Lin also imdiately summoned all contractors, and even issued a conscription order to the two major corporate groups in the city.
The two groups naturally did not dare refuse, sending two Level 3 Contractors each.
Tian Lin did not rush in, but first brought out nurous technological devices attempting to send them in to investigate.
But no matter the type of equipnt, let alone going in, they would crash as soon as they approached a certain distance, completely useless.
Tian Lin then had people prepare so cats and dogs, tethered with ropes to let them enter the black fog.
However, as soon as they entered, the ropes snapped.
Finally, Tian Lin prepared to go in himself to explore.
But having been dissuaded by the others, Hei volunteered, taking two subordinates with him and went in.
After waiting for over ten minutes with no sign of them, an anxious Tian Lin, ignoring everyone’s deterrence, entered the black fog.
Among those who entered with him were those four Level 3 Contractors from the corporate groups, and so contractors from the relevant departnts.
Now, more than half an hour had passed, and there was still no movent inside.
It wasn’t clear whether it was a manifestation of an abnormal “instance” in reality or so other situation.
Currently, Zhou Wen was the highest-ranking person here, and he was considering whether to continue sending people in.
He even thought about calling for additional assistance from the headquarters.
Inside the tent, apart from so essential personnel sitting in, there were contractors gathered from two branches and the headquarters.
“Cheng Youlin, starting from now, you will act as the commander, Qu Lianhong, Wang Tianlong, Zhao Rong, the few of you, co with .”
Zhou Wen stood up and called out a few nas.
Those who were called out were all Level 2 Contractors.
As for the others, only three Level 2 Contractors remained, including Cheng Youlin, while the rest of Mu Rufeng’s and others were Level 1 Contractors.
“Captain Zhou, let Qu Lianhong be in command; my ability is a bit more useful than Qu Lianhong’s,” Cheng Youlin spoke up first before the others could speak.
“I say, what do you an your ability is more useful than mine?” Qu Lianhong imdiately got hot-tempered.
Cheng Youlin did not retort but turned his gaze to Zhou Wen, waiting for his response.
“Okay, Qu Lianhong, you command. Cheng Youlin, you co in with ,” Captain Zhou said.
“Captain Zhou, I~~!” Qu Lianhong was just about to speak when Zhou Wen cut him off: “Okay, ti is of the essence. Keep a close watch on the movents inside, and try to disperse the people on the periter as much as possible.”
“Yes, Captain Zhou,” Qu Lianhong, knowing the severity of the situation, didn’t argue further.
