1915, British Empire.
During the first world war, the entire capital of the Great Britain was shrouded in the haze of German cannon fire.
The Unsetting Great Britain, which ruled the world for nearly half a century, was now like an old lion king on the grassland. Facing the last rays of the sun of life, it struggled to lift its claws that were no longer sharp, and swung it at the enemy who dared to violate its dignity!
But unfortunately, what this old disappointment had to face was the ferocious German that had risen!
At the beginning of the year, the huge Zeppelin carried a large amount of ammunition and bombarded the British coastal area. It also bombarded the capital London in May, causing a large area of residential areas and commercial buildings to be destroyed.
At the call of Prime Minister Churchill, the entire British Empire moved.
Just like the hair of a gear being inserted, the huge war machine burst out with its roar, and all the factories continued to produce shells, sending batch after batch of young people to the battlefield.
The war was initiated by a group of old men, and the one who paid for it was the young man!
A total of 15 countries joined the war one after another, causing Europe, Pacific Ocean, Middle East, Asia, and Africa to be shrouded in shadows. In the end, it brought a great disaster to humanity, promoting the death of millions of people.
In the future, in order to commemorate the people who died in the war, those historians and politicians named it the First World War.
However, it was clear that the only lesson humanity learned from history was that they would never be taught a lesson.
However, what was said above had nothing to do with the goal of Lod's trip. He was not here to stop the World War, but to find someone.
After being caught by the Weeping Angel, the moment he opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had arrived in England a hundred years ago.
Drip. Drip.
The mournful cold rain covered the streets of England with a layer of sadness.
In the distance, there were several huge chimneys that pierced into the sky. The black smoke emitted from them was like the claws of a demon that stretched out into the sky, adding a strange and ominous aura to this hazy gray sky.
The machinery and gears in the unknown factory were operating, giving off a deafening roar.
Several scarlet lights emitted a huge light that penetrated the white fog that filled the surroundings. The continuous rain looked like a giant beast that was silently watching him through the curtain of this storm.
There were almost no pedestrians on the cobblestone street under the storm.
This dispelled the idea of Lod wanting to ask for directions. He propped up a thin layer of Spiritual Power to cover himself. After blocking all the rain, he walked along this street towards the city center.
He planned to find someone to ask where this place was.
However, after walking for more than ten minutes, Lod did not see a place where the lights were turned on. He could not even feel the breath of a living person.
Apart from the two scarlet lights in the factory in the fog in the distance, the entire city was shrouded in darkness. There was no light from others, as if everyone had already turned off the lights early and fallen asleep.
Only an idiot would know that there was definitely a problem with this scene in front of them!
Although it was impossible to see the whole picture with the fog, the range of Spiritual Power's perception was about a hundred square kilometers. It could be considered a medium-sized city. Even if the population was small, it should not be like this!
"Is it the work of the Weeping Angel?"
Lod frowned and had a vague sense of foreboding. He secretly raised his vigilance.
The range of the absolute domain extended to fifty meters with him as the center. Moreover, there was a surveillance bacteria behind him to guard against the sudden appearance of the Weeping Angel. Moreover, once other creatures invaded the territory, he could react immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Lod decided to go to the factory to take a look.
The only place with light in the entire city might be able to obtain some useful information there, such as knowing where this damned place was and where the hotel that trapped Constantine and the others was!
Lod gathered his spiritual energy at the soles of his feet and slowly floated into the sky, planning to fly directly through the fog.
However, just at this moment.
Buzz - -
A tremor that struck deep into his soul swiftly devoured him like a raging flame.
His sharp sixth sense told him that if he intended to continue rising, he would die in the next moment. There seemed to be something indescribable in the black smoke that could directly threaten his life!
The black smoke and white fog seemed to divide the sky and earth of the city.
It was like a clear boundary that stipulated the edge of life and death. Any creature who dared to touch this line would be swallowed by the black fog of death.
"Is flying prohibited?"
Before the investigation was clear, Lod decided that it was better to be stable.
And the source of this black smoke was the huge factory with the scarlet lights on, and it was the only place he could go to now.
The road to the factory was not easy to walk.
The factory was built in the suburbs, so it could not take the main road of the city. It could only take the muddy road after the rain.
It was believed that people who used to drive on rainy days in the countryside knew how difficult it was to walk on the muddy road after the rain. It was almost a deep foot and a shallow foot. Moreover, it was accompanied by the rolling mud. It could be said that it was extremely annoying.
But if it was only at this level, in fact, Lod did not care very much. The really difficult road was after being far away from the city.
About three kilometers away from the factory, there was something strange that was mixed with asphalt and paved into a black road.
Pitter-patter ---
There was something spread on the black road. The greasy touch made Lod feel very uncomfortable. Every step seemed to be stepping on glue. When pulled out, it could even pull out silk threads. The rain water also emitted a stench.
The city had given him a terrible feeling from the first time he saw it. It even gave him a strong sense of disgust.
If not for Constantine and Potts, as well as that mysterious unknown death god, Lod would probably have directly taken out his Ryujin Jakka and burned this city to ashes, completely resolving all threats from the root!
But unfortunately, he couldn't do this.
Lod forcefully endured the disgust and discomfort in his heart and stepped on this disgusting black road, slowly approaching the factory in the fog.
As he got closer and closer, he could finally see part of the factory's structure.
This was a huge factory in the shape of a circular ring. It had a total of three floors and each floor was almost ten meters high.
There were countless steel beams built together outside. Finally, a simple factory was set up. From the outside, it looked like a hedgehog. Its entire body was covered with protruding steel structures. The two giant scarlet lights were set at the top of the factory.
However, compared to the strange shape of the factory, another thing caught Lod's attention.
Not far away from this factory, there was a river used to pour out industrial garbage. However, this river had long dried up, revealing a deep trench below.
In this trench, what was piled up was not industrial garbage.
Instead, it was a mountain of minced meat and wreckage. It was as if it had been crushed by some kind of machinery. It gave off a disgusting rotten smell. Moreover, there was an endless stream of broken limbs and minced meat flowing into this trench from the factory excretion pipe!
Judging from the characteristics of the minced meat and wreckage, Lod was almost certain that these were from the '- human'. The factory in front of him was a bloody factory!
Why was there no one in the city? Now he finally knew that everyone was here.
