In the evening, the sky darkened.
The peak season for the black market has officially arrived. The shops that used to be grey during the day all light up their colorful signs, which are colorful and full of visual impact. Even Xiaojiu pulled down a rope behind the door, and the neon sign of "Xiaojiu Clinic" lit up instantly.
The sudden light woke Tu Ran from her dream. She frowned, put one hand on her eyes, and opened her eyes after she adjusted to the light. She sat up and looked towards the window behind her.
This small clinic faces the street and you can see everything going on in the street outside through the windows.
"It's getting dark." Tu Ran, who had just woken up, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Well, do you want to eat? I bought two servings." Xiaojiu's unclear voice came from the computer desk with half a noodle in his mouth.
"No need," Tu Ran jumped off the bed, adjusted the mechanical skull a few times to make it fit her facial features better, and stretched her stiff neck a few times, "Let's go."
The moon is high and the wind is dark, it is a time for murder and arson.
She is going to find Xie Zhao.
"Walk slowly and be careful." After watching Tu Ran walk out of the store, Xiao Jiu lowered his head to eat his unfinished meal.
As soon as I stepped out of the store, I was greeted by the heat, mixed with all kinds of black market smells: leather, tobacco, gunpowder, pungent perfume...
Tu Ran frowned and suddenly felt that the smell of disinfectant in the small clinic was quite pleasant.
Tu Ran raised her fingers and tapped her temples twice, and a route map appeared in front of her.
The location of the hovercraft.
In order to make her whereabouts more covert, Zero would arrange different hovercrafts for her through various means, so that she could drive them in turns. This car was arranged by Zero for her in advance, and the route was sent to her at noon today.
Tu Ran squeezed into the crowd according to the route. The people were densely packed and jostling each other.
Tu Ran suddenly stopped.
She suddenly turned her head.
A beam of blinding white light came straight towards her.
Almost in an instant, Tu Ran retreated ten meters away.
The laser beam shot into the place where she was just now, and a hole was shot through the ground. The passerby who was just beside her didn't have time to dodge and was cut irregularly, his body broke into two halves, and the cut part was burned. The smell of barbecue diffused.
The crowd on the street was in an uproar in an instant, and they all took out their weapons to defend themselves. The people who came to the black market at this time were not good people. Some of them subconsciously shot at the laser gun launch point, but they didn't know where exactly they were shooting, and they shot indiscriminately and shot other innocent people.
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
As Tu Ran retreated, another laser beam shot towards her. Tu Ran activated the "teleport" and retreated diagonally to the rear, barely avoiding the attack.
The laser beam shot out following her footsteps.
One after another, as soon as Tu Ran escaped to a place, there would be a burst of gunfire, and she had to move to another place immediately.
She could dodge it, but those without super powers couldn't. The laser beam did not mean to kill innocent people. Whoever stood in the way would be killed. People fell to the ground one after another in a short while.
Tu Ran had tried her best to avoid the crowd, but it was the busiest time of the black market. There were already a lot of people on the street, and then there was a shooting. Everyone rushed to flee. The people outside didn't know what was happening inside, so they squeezed in again, and the road was almost blocked.
Tu Ran dodged at an extremely fast speed, her figure was only a shadow, even if the laser beams fell like raindrops, they could not touch the corner of her clothes.
While dodging, she took out a laser gun from space, used her "sense of direction" to locate the enemies lurking in every corner, and began to counterattack one by one.
"Absolute Hit" also came into play at this time. She didn't even need to aim too much. As long as she fired a shot in that direction, she would hit the target person. Neon lights were flashing, and the laser beams in the sky were woven into a net, covering the entire black market street.
The ground was pitted by the laser beams, the congestion was eased, the crowd began to move slowly, and Tu Ran's movable range gradually expanded.
Tu Ran didn't leave the clinic too far.
Xiaojiu was enjoying his dinner happily when he was interrupted by the sudden sound of gunfire outside.
This kind of sound is not uncommon in the black market. There will be a gunfight here every three to five days, and it will stop after a while. He has become accustomed to this, so he continued to eat noodles.
While eating, he sensed something was wrong. The sound did not sound like an ordinary gunshot.
He seemed to have heard it somewhere.
Xiaojiu chewed his food thoughtfully, and vaguely remembered that the sound was made by a laser gun mixed with a few ordinary gunshots.
Not everyone can use a laser gun. He quickly put down his chopsticks, ran out of the clinic, and leaned towards the source of the sound.
The white light blinded his eyes. What else could it be but a laser gun?
Looking at the figure jumping up and down under the laser gun, who else could it be but Tu Ran? He hurried back to the clinic to make a call, and the call was connected.
"Brother Xie, it's bad. Sister Tu Ran has been attacked right in front of my clinic. There are a lot of laser guns on the opposite side." As he said this, he walked to the door and filmed the melee outside.
Xie Xu just took a look and said, "She can handle it," then hung up the phone.
Xiao Jiu looked at the communicator with the screen turned off, then looked at Tu Ran who was surrounded by light beams outside, and slapped his head. He actually forgot that Sister Tu Ran was a person with super powers. So many guards outside the threshold could not stop her. A few laser guns were enough.
Returning to the computer desk with the bowl on top, he squatted on the threshold, watching and eating noodles with relish.
Tu Ran fired many shots and killed many people. The number of laser beams shot at her was the same as before, and there was no visible decrease with the naked eye. This was not a solution, so Tu Ran tried to contact Zero.
If Zero was there, he could help her quickly analyze the situation on the other side and plan an escape route.
But she tried to contact him several times but failed.
Tu Ran had a bad feeling.
Zero had never lost contact with her before, especially at this critical moment, with so many people gathered around Xiaojiu's clinic, all of them holding laser guns. Zero would not fail to notice anything unusual, nor would he fail to notify her.
Where did Zero go?
Tu Ran's eyes darkened and she glanced at the crowd moving away from her.
The crowd was huddled together, retreating very slowly, because she was the primary target, and as long as she stayed away from the crowd, the laser guns wouldn't sweep them.
She hadn't wanted to squeeze into the crowd and escape.
But now, her ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger. The only sound in the whole world was the beating of her heart. Her eyes seemed to be blurred with blood, and the scene of a river of blood covered the original picture.
“Predicting the future” works again.
Tu Ran ran towards the crowd without hesitation.
Laser guns followed closely behind.
When the crowd realized what she was going to do, they shot at her.
