Chapter 48
To get from South District 1 to East District 1, you have to cross the entire South District 1. Before the apocalypse, it took an hour and a half to get there by aircraft, but now you can only drive. From time to time, you have to slow down and change lanes to avoid abandoned vehicles and some collapsed obstacles on the street, and the journey time is infinitely extended.
South District 1 was also one of the prosperous cities before the end of the world. The area was very large. After the accident, the traffic in South District 1 was paralyzed very quickly, and dead zombies could be seen in the vehicles on the roadside.
However, he did not see any living zombies on the road, not only near the explosion range, but also in places farther away.
The entire South District was quiet, with only two cars driving on the street.
A gray-white SUV and a fluorescent green sports car.
Baichuan had to drive a sports car with the top down. The color of the sports car matched with Baichuan's dark green hair blown by the wind. In the gray and dilapidated city, these two shades of green became the most eye-catching colors!
The road was very quiet, but the more peaceful it was, the more alert everyone became.
Tang Mary sat in the passenger seat of the sports car and asked Bai Chuan: "What are you thinking about? What is there about that Lin Bai that is worthy of your attention?"
"Mr. Tang, this is not something you should care about." Bai Chuan naturally would not tell Tang Mary about Lin Bai's affairs.
Bai Chuan looked at the road ahead, his eyes flashing with thought. In the past three days, he hadn't heard any news about his boss from Lin Bai.
However, after seeing Lin Bai, he became even more certain that his boss was alive.
These three days weren't completely fruitless. At least they knew Lin Bai had joined Lou Tiannan's group halfway through, boarding the bus from West District 7. She was with the little girl, who called Lin Bai "Mom." No one knew better than him that Lin Bai couldn't have children. Bionics hadn't been developed to such an advanced level. If it wasn't Lin Bai's child, could it be the boss's daughter? Thinking of the doll in the little girl's arms, made by the boss, this might actually be a possibility.
"Shirakawa!"
Tang Mary's loud shout rang out beside him, and Baichuan came to his senses. He saw a huge fireball coming from nowhere in front of the car and coming towards them. Without thinking, he subconsciously turned the steering wheel to the left to avoid hitting the SUV in front of him on the right.
The superior performance of the sports car was demonstrated at this moment. It made a 180-degree turn and narrowly avoided the fireball. However, the SUV that was half a car body ahead of it was not so lucky. It saw the fireball hitting the SUV.
After Baichuan stopped the car, he hurried to the SUV. Lin Bai must not get into trouble!
Tang Mali looked at Bai Chuan's fast-running back in surprise, a look of deep thought flashing across her face.
The fireball appeared out of nowhere, giving almost no one a chance to react. Even if Lou Tiannan reacted quickly, it was too late. The car hitting the fireball was inevitable. Lou Tiannan only had time to slam on the brakes, and the car stopped abruptly for half a second. The next moment, the fireball hit the front of the car, and the heat wave cracked the front windshield, and the temperature inside the car rose instantly.
A second before the car window shattered, Elena's ice surface covered it, buying a few seconds for Lou Tiannan and Zhu Liang in the driving seat. Lou Tiannan stepped on the brakes to the bottom and the car stopped steadily. Before they could leave the car, another fireball came straight at them.
This attack was different from the previous ones. It came swiftly and fiercely, with every move coming from a vicious angle, aiming to take their lives.
Just two fireballs were enough to show that the person behind this move had supernatural powers that were definitely not inferior to Lou Tiannan!
The people in the car had no way to avoid the oncoming fireball. Lou Tiannan kicked open the car door and jumped in front of the fireball. When the fireball almost touched the tip of his nose, he just managed to generate supernatural power to block the fireball. The muscles in his arms bulged with the gathering energy, and sweat from his forehead flowed down his resolute face. He managed to hold the fireball and push it back!
Lou Tiannan bought them precious time, and the others rushed to get out of the car and enter combat readiness.
Their geographical location was very bad, close to the regional line, surrounded by open space and almost no high shelter. There was only a domain gate building in front of them, which was between the regional lines of South District 1 and East District 1. But it was obvious that the superpower attacking them came from there.
The attacker was looking down at them from a high position in the building, and they were completely exposed to the other party's field of vision.
"Lu Jia and Zhu Liang provide cover, while Song Yan and Zhou Yu go to the building in front to try to blast it." Lou Tiannan said quickly.
The enemy's special abilities are very strong, and they are in the dark while they are in the light. It would be a great disadvantage to fight them like this. We must force them out so that we can win this battle, otherwise we will be exhausted to death.
The four people who received the order immediately started to act. Elena and Wen Xia Xia also consciously helped them to cover. Several smoke bombs were thrown out, and dust and smoke rose in the open ground. They hid their bodies in the smoke and rushed towards the domain gate building quickly.
Fireballs came from all directions, making their movements very difficult.
Just when Lin Bai was on guard, Baichuan pulled Lin Bai away and said, "Stay away from Lou Tiannan and the others. Qiu Tu's target is Lou Tiannan. Hide quickly!" Baichuan said silently to Lin Bai: Bionic people must have a clear understanding of their own bodies, and cannot mess around with these fire and artillery, otherwise they will not know how they fell apart.
"Qiu Tu?" Everyone present heard Bai Chuan's words and realized that apart from Lou Tiannan, Qiu Tu was probably the only one in the apocalypse who could possess such a powerful fire ability.
Lin Bai's eyes flickered and he quickly shook off Bai Chuan's hand, jumping three body lengths away.
Bang! A fireball hit the spot where Lin Bai and Bai Chuan were just now.
"I should stay away from you." Lin Bai looked at Bai Chuan's green hair and said, "Hurry up and shave your hair."
Bai Chuan was hit by the fireball and swallowed a mouthful of dust and stones. Upon hearing this, he shook his flowing green hair and said, "Is it that obvious?"
"It's very obvious." Elena said from the side.
Everything around was gray, only Shirakawa's green hair was particularly eye-catching. Even Tang Mary's red hair was not as eye-catching as Shirakawa's.
Not only were they attacked by fire-based abilities, but metal arrows and bullets were also aimed at them from time to time. Baichuan was a sitting duck.
Elena turned her head to avoid the red dot aimed by the sniper rifle, and shot an ice arrow along the red dot with her backhand. A second or two later, screams were heard in the building.
Looking at Zhou Yu and Song Yan again, they had already approached the building in the chaos, but there were also bloody and bone-covered people under the building, making it difficult for them to approach.
Tang Mary, who dodged a fireball, felt puzzled as to how she got involved in this melee. She thought she was innocent!
As if seeing through Tang Mary's thoughts, Bai Chuan said faintly, "Mr. Tang, your Guangming Building was blown up by the blood bones."
Tang Mary: “!!!”
As if that wasn't enough, Bai Chuan added, "Perhaps the bombing of your Guangming Building was just a cover. Blood and Bone sent people to steal your gems."
Tang Mali inexplicably felt that what Baichuan said made a lot of sense. With a wave of her hand, the three-foot-long mace was in her hand again, and she rushed towards the Yuguan Building with the momentum of a woman guarding the pass and ten thousand men unable to pass.
Soon, all kinds of screams were heard on the first floor of the building. Ordinary psychics were no match for Tang Mary and were killed by her as easily as cutting vegetables.
Zhou Yu and Song Yan took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. In the melee, they quickly installed the blasting equipment. After installing it between the second and first floors, they did not go up anymore because there were more people with special abilities on the second floor and it would be very dangerous for them to go up. Before leaving, Zhou Yu used chewing gum to stick to the blasting equipment, and when they were not paying attention in the stairwell, he threw the chewing gum onto the railing on the upper floor.
After throwing three or two quickly, he made an OK gesture to Song Yan, and the two retreated together.
Tang Mali saw Zhou Yu and Song Yan retreat. She was no fool, and she retreated while fighting with the Blood Bone psychics. After exiting the explosion circle, Song Yan pulled out a mini controller from her arms and quickly clicked twice.
Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang!
Explosions were heard in the Yuguan Building, and many holes appeared on the floors, and blood and bone mutants were blown away.
But to their disappointment, the infrastructure of the Domain Gate Building was too solid. Normally, four to six of the blasting equipment they carried were enough to blow down a six-story building. However, they had just installed at least ten, and the building didn't even shake.
There was only a hole in the wall where the blasting equipment was installed, but the building still stood there solidly.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap! Who's the idiot who's in charge of the quality inspection for this Domain Gate Building in South District 1? It's so sturdy! How much material did it use?"
"I advise you to speak nicely." Song Yan pointed to the dusty notice board outside the wall. In the quality supervision column, Minister Cheng's name was prominently listed.
Zhou Yu shut his mouth. It turned out to be their minister. Okay, that’s okay!
But the explosion was not completely ineffective. At least the Blood and Bone members on the first and second floors suffered heavy casualties.
This action seemed to anger Qiu Tu in the dark, and the fireball attack became more and more fierce. The temperature on the open ground was extremely high because of the fight between Lou Tiannan and Qiu Tu, but Qiu Tu was very cunning. The directions of these fireballs were disordered and chaotic, making it impossible to figure out his location.
But who is Lin Bai?
Bionic man.
Her vision was far superior to that of an ordinary person. Based on the fireballs she saw, she could quickly draw the paths and angles of the fireballs in her mind. Based on this data, she simultaneously calculated the positions from which the fireballs came and locked onto Qiu Tu's location. When Qiu Tu's fireballs attacked again, Lin Bai said to Lou Tiannan, "The fourth and fifth windows on the left on the thirteenth floor."
After hearing it clearly, Lou Tiannan immediately launched a fierce black flame fireball to attack the direction Lin Bai mentioned.
After the black flame fireball hit the window, there was no movement, as if it had been swallowed.
Lou Tiannan fired several more fireballs, but there was still no movement, and the fireballs attacking them also stopped.
After Lin Bai adjusted the focus of his eyes, the reflection he saw in the thirteenth-floor window showed someone moving quickly.
"The eleventh window on the left on the thirteenth floor." She reported the location simultaneously.
Lou Tiannan followed his instructions and threw out the supernatural energy again.
"Thirteenth floor, seventh window on the right."
As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, Lou Tiannan fired a fireball, which was aimed directly at the seventh window on the right side of the thirteenth floor.
Qiu Tu, who was on the thirteenth floor, frowned into a "川" shape. Could it be that Lou Tiannan had opened his third eye? How could he know where he was?
He turned over and went down two floors, reaching the eleventh floor. Just as he reached the window, before he could use his supernatural power, he saw black flames rushing towards his face!
This is so fucking weird!
