Chapter 352: Cry for Help
"Captain Chu, do you want to join our special forces and command them to infiltrate El Paso City?" Bruce asked eagerly.
Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "Let’s separate and enter. This way, the probability of being wiped out at the same time will be smaller."
Of course, that’s what he said, but in fact, he didn’t trust the people from BRPD or Jade from the Holy Word Religion.
Although Bruce was somewhat disappointed, he didn’t insist. He showed Chu Jiang the member list of the special forces, so that when they go in, their own people wouldn’t be unfamiliar to each other.
Additionally, he handed Chu Jiang a pair of simultaneous interpretation earphones and other remote communication devices.
"So, let’s do it this way. I’ll go to El Paso City right now." Chu Jiang put on his headphones and stood up.
Bruce was a bit surprised. "So fast? Then we’ll also coordinate the gathering of the special forces members. It might be a bit slower for you, but you’ll officially enter El Paso City."
Chu Jiang nodded, and then Bruce saw him transform into a black and gold beam of light, breaking through the window and shooting towards El Paso City!
This caught him off guard. "Using the Ghost Domain to travel? How extravagant…"
You see, from Austin to El Paso City, even in a straight line, it’s thousands of kilometers.
……
In less than five minutes, Chu Jiang arrived at the outskirts of El Paso City. Although he had only recently learned to control the Black Sun, he was quite proficient in using its power.
Chu Jiang landed near the state park to the north and cautiously made his way towards the city center…
Around El Paso City, there is an invisible dividing line. When Chu Jiang crossed this line, he had a moment of confusion.
Ghost Domain? No, not like it.
Chu Jiang tried to step back, but found himself not leaving, like he was just standing in place.
He tried to contact Bruce using earphones, and so far, he could still reach him.
So Chu Jiang continued forward, for the first half hour he didn’t see anyone, but before entering the city, he came across a gas station where he went inside the store and bought an ice cream to eat.
The staff here seemed normal and thought Chu Jiang was a tourist from another country, they were friendly too.
Chu Jiang secretly observed them and even shook hands with one of the employees, but didn’t notice anything unusual.
But Chu Jiang always felt something strange, not with the people’s state of mind, but the whole city gave him a sense of imbalance, but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
After pondering for a while, Chu Jiang officially entered the city, and once he arrived, his earphones started to make static noise; although the translation function was still working, he couldn’t communicate with the outside world anymore.
So Chu Jiang left the city again, and this time he could reconnect, but it was meaningless as he could never find the truth on the outskirts.
Chu Jiang didn’t rush, he waited in place, allowing the special forces from the BRPD to enter El Paso City from another direction first, to see if they could make contact after both sides entered the city.
Bruce immediately carried out the plan, and in fact, by the time Chu Jiang was walking, most of the people who were supposed to arrive outside the city had already arrived.
Before long, the special forces entered from the south of El Paso City and also reached the outskirts of the city.
Chu Jiang made contact with the captain on the other side, a man named Anderson, and the other side didn’t notice anything unusual.
Finally, both sides entered the city at the same time, and the good news was that they could still communicate with each other.
So, Anderson, with a deep voice, said, "Let’s maintain constant communication, shall we? Everyone can join this channel, so that if something happens to either side, we can easily inform the other."
After Chu Jiang finished listening to the translation, he naturally agreed.
The other team members didn’t say anything. It was silent, including Jade. The atmosphere was serious, and everyone knew that this time was a fight for their lives.
As they entered the city, it still looked "normal." The population density was relatively low compared to their home country, but people were still working and there were occasional homeless people on the streets.
Chu Jiang walked around casually and bought a few pairs of jeans. He also bought a wide-brimmed straw hat with distinctive features from a neighboring country and had a taco at a street-side snack shop.
On the other hand, the special forces were not as relaxed as Chu Jiang. They went directly to the local BRPD branch that had lost contact, but they didn’t find anyone there. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.
Asking the surrounding residents yielded no useful information.
As soon as Chu Jiang finished eating and wiped his mouth, he suddenly heard a faint voice saying, "Save me~"
It sounded like the voice of a little girl, and it wasn’t the English phrase "Help me," but a language that he could understand directly. What’s more, Chu Jiang couldn’t locate where the voice was coming from.
"Wait, have you guys heard a voice?" Jade’s voice came through the earpiece.
Others responded, confirming that they heard the voice of a little girl.
"Be careful," Anderson instinctively felt something was not right, "it seems like the residents of this city can’t hear this voice, and I can’t find where it’s coming from. It seems to be directly in our minds."
Chu Jiang looked at the chubby shop owner who was indeed frying corn cakes, seemingly completely unaware of any sound.
So Chu Jiang paid and left the small shop, "Where are you? How can I save you?"
Hearing Chu Jiang’s voice, everyone else in the channel became quiet.
"Save me, save me…"
After the monotonous voice repeated a few times, the little girl seemed to realize and she struggled to say, "Quickly escape, the nuns are looking for you."
Nuns?
Chu Jiang used his heightened senses to search for all the people wearing nun attire in the nearby area, but couldn’t find any.
On the other side, the alert Anderson and the others also couldn’t find any nuns or detect any lurking danger.
"Jade, is she referring to you?"
Jade was speechless, "How could it be me, and I’m not a nun." Clearly, she was still maintaining her image as a member of the astrological association.
"What do nuns look like?" Chu Jiang was obviously asking the little girl.
This time, the other party answered quickly, "Nuns are white, like ghosts."
"There are also angels, but angels usually don’t leave the fortress where God is."
"Escape, you need to escape quickly, or else you will die here like the others…" The little girl’s voice grew weaker as she spoke, with a hint of breathlessness.
"How can we escape?" One of the male members of the special forces couldn’t help asking, "After we came in, we found that we couldn’t get out."
