There was no answer, no shouting. The white man in Song Han's hand, whose blood had already dried up, closed his eyes calmly.
For no apparent reason, Song Han seemed to feel a gentle breeze brush through his brain, and a momentary numbness in his cerebral cortex made him shudder involuntarily.
At the same time, Jian'an's alarm prompts kept appearing in front of Song Han.
Outside the battlefield, people with calm expressions, regardless of gender, age, or status, rushed towards the conference building along the streets, defying the blockade of the Iron Butchers.
As the crowd converged, through the observation of the drones, the scope of the chaos continued to expand.
The images fed back on the screen in front of him made Song Han's mouth feel dry.
The emotionless voice of AI Jian'an still rang in his ears continuously.
"Control range: 500 meters, 800 meters, 1000 meters, 2000 meters.
Detected a decrease in control intensity."
Through the feedback images from controlling the drones, when the control range of the other side exceeded 2500 meters, it had dropped back from indiscriminate control to being able to only control minors. When the range reached 3000 meters, it could no longer effectively interfere with human behavior.
As the capital of Country C, Huashi has a notoriously low population density in the world. If it were in the capital of Country X, it would not be surprising to have millions of people within a radius of 3000 meters in the city center.
The surging ocean formed by the convergence of streams of people rushed towards the battlefield.
At this moment, in the command center of the military building, there was no need for others to report. With the naked eye, one could see the crowds continuously converging and charging towards the distant battlefield.
"When did our citizens become so brave?"
"Commander, for some unknown reason, all the people within a straight-line distance of 3 kilometers from the conference building have lost their self-awareness. Our troops on the battlefield have lost contact."
"Now our troops can't get within 3000 meters of the battlefield either."
"What do you mean?"
The commander held the materials urgently summarized by the staff team with a look of confusion on his face.
"Yuri's Revenge? Mind magic?"
On the tall buildings around the street, the Gauss rifles mounted on the six Iron Butchers did not stop for a moment. They kept clearing the targets in the crowd that held weapons and might pose a threat, maintaining a thin defense line. However, compared to the huge number of the crowd, their efforts were still like a drop in the ocean.
As if thinking of something, Song Han suddenly turned around and looked at the figure in front of the conference hall podium.
"Why weren't you controlled?"
"What are you talking about?"
The other person's expression was a bit strange. He kept shaking his head vigorously, as if trying to shake something out of his head. The amplitude of his movements was so large that saliva splashed everywhere, as if he had really shaken out water.
Song Han frowned. Through the feedback of the drone images, within a range of 3000 meters, he found quite a few people who behaved similarly to this person and were not controlled.
In front of him, the information of these remaining people who were not controlled and Jian'an's judgment labels kept appearing on the screen.
"Fanatics, senior special agents, those with firm beliefs, those with strong willpower"
Under the impact of the observer's biological brainwaves, there were still people who could resist it with their individual will.
"Stop firing the electromagnetic guns. All Iron Butchers move towards me. The rotorcraft descends, and we're leaving!"
"We can't leave!"
The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly popped up.
Song Han angrily said, "There are nearly 60,000 people around now! What else can we do if we don't leave? Kill them all?"
"Is that not possible?"
The system's voice made Song Han's heart turn cold.
"If we don't find out the true form of the observer and don't solve its entrenched presence in human society.
Unless you commit suicide immediately, otherwise, such behavior will keep emerging repeatedly until you wipe out all the humans on Earth."
Song Han angrily said, "After all this time, what have you observed? These are 60,000 people! Not 60,000 pigs!"
"I have already observed the other side's control method."
The system's words made Song Han's angry mood come to a halt.
"It's a biological electrical signal with a frequency range of 0.5-30 hertz. It can instantly connect with the frequency of human brainwaves and invade in reverse. The other side has controlled so many people at once, and this time it didn't shield the individuals with concentrated resistance like last time.
So this control behavior of the other side must be close to its ability limit. It wants to use the human sea tactic to wear us down. 60,000 people are not enough. Its true body must be hidden among these 60,000 people!"
Song Han raised his voice and retorted, "But we don't know which one of the 60,000 people it is."
"Why do we need to know?"
The system said calmly, "As long as we eliminate these 60,000 targets and maintain an area within a 3-kilometer radius without any intelligent creatures that it can parasitize.
It doesn't matter which one of them it is for us."
"Our battle with the observers has already eliminated all the airborne units of the C country's army that were the first to rush to provide support.
The military headquarters has also noticed the abnormalities here, and the formation of strategic bombers of the airborne fortresses at the C country's naval base has taken off.
The current government is more fearful than you. They have decided to carry out a carpet bombing around the conference building and destroy all phenomena that exceed their cognition
This is a war between civilizations. 60,000 compared to 7 billion. If you don't make a choice, someone has already made the choice for you."
Song Han stood there in silence for a long time.
"Can we really kill it?"
"I don't know.
But at least we can drive it out of the macroscopic world, allowing you to hide again so that the other side won't interfere with our future actions."
"What do I need to do?"
"Provide the coordinates. You just need to stand in front of it and wait for them to gather. Humans' decisiveness and cruelty towards their own kind in war will exceed the imagination of other civilizations and individuals.
You are just a witness to this war."
Song Han turned his head and looked at the person behind him who was still shaking non-stop. He controlled the armor and slowly walked out of the building.
Standing in front of the gate of this huge building, the conference building, which combines the styles of neoclassicism and Beaux-Arts, the Stars and Stripes flag hanging on the top of the building was still fluttering in the hot sun.
Song Han held the kitchen knife and calmly stared at the crowd constantly surging towards him down the steps.
Ten meters, five meters, one meter.
With a flash of cold light, an arm was severed from its owner. Taking half a step back and twisting his body, several thighs also fell to the ground on their own and were trampled into a pulp by the surging crowd.
Song Han calmly kept waving the kitchen knife, swinging it down in the crowd again and again, creating a bloody path and leaving behind the remains of bodies without limbs.
"This time, it's my turn to find you!"
Sensing that Song Han's state was not right at this moment, the system forcibly controlled Song Han's vocal cords to make a sound.
"All Iron Butchers move towards me!"
I don't know how much time had passed. Song Han, whose armor had been stained with blood from the spurting blood, suddenly found that there were no more human figures controlled by the observer in front of him.
The six Iron Butchers formed a circle around him. Waving a two-meter-long blade, they slashed through the flesh and blood, clearing an empty area covering dozens of meters.
Even if there were occasional sniper shots from the crowd, the Iron Butchers would immediately become moving shields.
"Here they come!"
Song Han instinctively looked up. Through the data link connection of the drone's observation pod, several huge strategic bombers in the distance, escorted by a squadron of F22 fighter jets, quickly passed by at a flight altitude of over 3000 meters.
He didn't have to wait long. With a series of ear-piercing screams, the rumbling explosions rang out. Vast flames expanded and enveloped the crowd, spreading rapidly.
Under the protection of the six Iron Butchers, Song Han was as helpless as a canoe facing a tsunami in the face of the constantly surging impact and flames.
"To ensure that you, the only target, are not separated and hidden, causing the other side to disappear, you must stand in front of it.
The defensive power of the six Iron Butchers and the exoskeleton armor allows you to withstand all modern conventional weapons except nuclear weapons in case of non-direct hits."
When Song Han got up again, the six Iron Butchers that surrounded and protected him in a sealed defensive circle were all red-hot and had lost their mobility.
In the distance, charred and blackened corpses were scattered in a mess. Fires were burning everywhere in sight, and even the military building that could be faintly seen across the river was not spared.
Even with the power supply of the life support cabin inside the exoskeleton armor, a sense of visual suffocation still made Song Han involuntarily gasp for air.
Under dozens of thermobaric bombs, which are known as conventional nuclear weapons, there was no sign of any living thing within a radius of five kilometers.
Even beyond five kilometers, the spreading fire kept burning.
At this time, a rotorcraft descended from the sky, opened its belly, and directly swallowed Song Han's head. In the gusts of wind caused by the disturbed airflow, it carried Song Han into the sky.
"Mom, I saw a person flying in the sky!"
In the passenger plane soaring in the sky, a young woman looked at her daughter and laughed.
"Silly child, it's just a bird."
"Is it?
Mom, what kind of bird flies vertically?"
Looking in the direction pointed by her daughter, Fiona immediately covered her mouth in.
"OMG!"
