Chapter 480 Dead Silence
"..."

Washington, D.C., on the dead streets.

"Safety."

The sound of rustling footsteps broke the emptiness of the city, and the submachine gun in his hand was clenched as he walked through the silent neighborhood. The soldier in charge of scouting turned his head and gestured a safe gesture to the troops behind him.

Immediately afterwards, under the protection of the combat team, Amanda and others entered the street.

In the combat team, Amanda saw the scene around the block through the gaps in which the soldiers walked, with a dazed expression on her face.

She may not be familiar with Washington, but she will definitely not feel unfamiliar.

In Amanda's impression in the past, the streets of Washington were full of people coming and going, and it was a city with great vitality.However, at this moment, with the empty streets and the silent city, it is difficult for you to connect all these with the bustling Washington in her impression.

Looking along the quiet street, Amanda could vaguely see some signs of movement in the windows of some street corners.

"Why are people still here?"

Noticing this scene, she couldn't help but frowned and questioned Jonathan on the side.

"Some are for work reasons, but the vast majority of those who stay in the city are out of mistrust of the government, and some are religious."

The long-term "democracy" propaganda has made the political culture within the United States extremely chaotic.

For example, a large part of these citizens who stayed in Washington, D.C. considered themselves "popular fighters" and believed that the federal government's coercive measures to require people to ban or evacuate the city were a violation of freedom and democracy, and a violation of the sovereignty of free will.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the ideas of these 'democrats'.

However, for them, this is the right thing to do. For this reason, they refused to participate in the government's evacuation operation, willing to stay in the dangerous Washington, DC.

Facing the reason given by Jonathan, Amanda nodded noncommittally.

Her gaze swept over the faint figures around her, and then she noticed some figures gathered together with strange movements.

"alert!"

Following Amanda's actions, the combat soldiers around her also noticed these figures.

They raised their guns and aimed at the figure not far away, and the faces under the helmets looked a little nervous.

For combat soldiers, those who are still willing to stay in Washington DC at this time are not normal guys. Once they relax their vigilance against these people, they will be the ones who will be unlucky in the next second.

Under the vigilant eyes of the soldiers, the figures in the distance knelt down on the ground. The huge graffiti on the wall showed a man wearing a brown fur coat, a white bow tie around his neck, gray trousers and a pair of Portrait of black man with polished leather shoes and hooked right hand.

In the portrait, there is no skin under the black windbreaker, and the ribs are directly exposed outside, and densely packed bees are painted on it.

"...candy man...candy man..."

The group of people surrounded the portrait, muttering prayers to themselves, and threw the candies in their hands into the fire in front of them.

"Damn it, you're a believer in Candyman!"

However, as the other side continued to approach, when the soldiers around Amanda heard the prayers of these figures clearly.

The face under the helmet suddenly turned aside, and shouted loudly: "Shoot, shoot!"

bang bang bang-

In line with the shouts of the soldiers, the entire combat team began to pull the trigger on the praying figures.

Knowing that the group of unsuspecting figures flying towards the distance like raindrops all over the sky instantly turned these people into bloody sieves.

The whole process, from Amanda and the others discovering the figure of praying together to the time when the soldiers opened fire, was within just a few seconds.

Even Amanda didn't have time to stop them. Looking at the people who fell under the guns and the corpses covered in bullet holes, the expression on her face was a little bit unbearable and puzzled.

"These believers who believe in candy man are a group of complete lunatics."

Aside, noticing the expression on Amanda's face, Jonathan opened his mouth to give a reason.

"They believe that what happened in Washington is the punishment of God, and the candy man is the salvation given by God. Only by calling the candy man to cleanse the city's sins can everything be restored."

"Before we had a small group of brothers who encountered this group of lunatics in the city..."

Hearing Jonathan's explanation, the soldier next to him couldn't help but said: "They took these guys as ordinary citizens and brought them to the temporary base. As a result, the group of lunatic believers of the Candy Man held a ceremony that night to summon the Candy Man and wiped out the entire base. All the soldiers inside were killed, and everyone was brutally divided in half by the hook."

When it comes to taking the death scene that he saw as what he saw, even the expression on the face of the resolute soldier is a little frightened.

"Candy Man."

After listening to Jonathan and the soldiers' explanation, Amanda looked back at the bloody corpses in the distance.

She knew more about Candy Man than the soldiers around her.

This is an evil spirit wandering in the world, and its purpose of existence is also for revenge. It was brutally killed before Candy Man's life so that he was separated from his loved ones and unborn children forever. Now the candy man takes revenge by slaughtering the people on this land.

"Sir, the shooting just now should have disturbed Washington's spirit, we must leave here now."

Looking at Amanda who fell into silence, a soldier couldn't help but reminded her.

The shooting of the candy man believers certainly helped the team avoid the worst situation, but it also unintentionally caused a huge commotion.

And this kind of movement is undoubtedly a very dangerous move in today's Washington, DC.

In this city at this time, compared to the people hiding in the dark and unwilling to evacuate, the spirits that can be seen everywhere are more dangerous.

Once surrounded by these wandering spirits, it is difficult for even a well-equipped soldier to survive.

Facing the reminder from the soldiers, Amanda did not hesitate, restrained her inner emotions, and immediately rushed towards the established target location under the leadership of the soldiers in the squad.

"It looks like our luck is not very good."

However, just as the soldiers feared, the commotion they caused in the neighborhood eventually attracted a group of spirits wandering nearby.

Looking at these ghosts who penetrated the building and appeared in front of everyone, their eyes were dull.

And, some mannequin dolls who were possessed by spirits and "resurrected" walked over with stiff steps. Jonathan raised his eyebrows and said, at the same time, he took out a small box from his pocket and opened it to reveal the Syringe needles of dark blue liquid.
