Chapter 107 Chapter 107
The armored vehicles were parked neatly in front of the battle line. With the sound of brakes, well-trained soldiers jumped down from them with weapons in hand and used the armored vehicles as cover to launch fire attacks on the monsters in the distance.
The psychics didn't have much hope at first, after all, ordinary guns and ammunition had no effect on the monsters, and the arrival of the army might only allow them to hold on for a little longer. But they soon stopped thinking so.
Under the firepower, many monsters were indeed injured, and some were directly broken into pieces and did not appear again for a long time. The light of hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.
Although no one knew why thermal weapons suddenly worked, it made everyone feel more at ease and more confident. It turned out that all the fears came from insufficient firepower.
After all, the superpowers are experienced in many battles and have a keen sense of danger. They soon realized that safety is only temporary. These weapons can only attack from a distance and cannot block the weird actions. I am afraid that it will not be long before those weird things will appear in front of everyone. By then, no matter how many weapons there are, they may not be able to play a role, and it will still be a dead end.
Someone must step up and stop them in a relatively safe shooting range.
"Hey! Come back quickly, it's dangerous ahead, what are you doing!" The soldier in front was startled when he saw someone running in a strange direction, and he shouted to try to stop them.
But they didn't stop. Someone turned around, and like the protagonist of a hot-blooded youth comic, he gave them a thumbs up with a brilliant smile: "Brothers, don't worry, we'll go hold these monsters back, and we'll be back soon!"
"Come on, just like in a tower defense game, keep these guys within range!"
"Danger, come back quickly!"
"We are all serving the people. Hey, people from our Superpower Bureau are not the cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death." Someone muttered in a low voice, took out his weapon, wiped it carefully, and then blended into the battlefield silently.
"Sir..."
"All of them, concentrate your firepower to coordinate their actions... Make sure to protect everyone."
…
Zhu Changan struggled out of a pile of gray-black wool and crushed the strange core. Without the support of energy, the wool under his feet turned into ashes and disappeared.
He shook his hair subconsciously, trying to shake off the dust on it. Although he knew that nothing would remain after the strangeness dissipated, Zhu Changan still felt uncomfortable psychologically.
"Is support coming from above?" When hearing the dense gunfire, Zhu Changan noticed that there seemed to be another helper on the battlefield. He was trapped in the strange area before and didn't know what was happening outside.
But when he carefully checked, he was shocked. The reason was that the military uniforms, weapons and armored vehicles these people wore were usually only seen in military parades.
But, but the troops are all ordinary humans without special powers!
Zhu Changan scanned the area and spotted a familiar figure among the camouflage uniforms - the standard black combat uniform of the Supernatural Bureau plus the iconic rough man style mixed in was too conspicuous, not to mention that the uniform had the team member's name and code written in large white letters.
"Uncle Zhao!"
That person was Zhao Wencheng, who was talking to the warriors beside him. Zhu Changan looked around and saw that he had cleaned up the area thoroughly. Under the influence of his special ability, the monsters in the distance were also deeply trapped in the swamp, and it would take a lot of effort to attack. He made a simple judgment and ran towards Zhao Wencheng.
And the moment Zhu Changan opened his mouth, Zhao Wencheng seemed to sense something and turned his face towards Zhu Changan accurately.
At that moment, the expression on his face was as if he had seen a ghost.
God knows how scary it was to see his careless child running towards him under fire and weird attacks. Fortunately, although Zhu Chang'an was reckless, his luck and dodging skills were maxed out. When Zhao Wencheng finally grabbed Zhu Chang'an's arm, he immediately pulled the child up and down to check him. He was relieved to see that he was not injured and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chang'an, you scared me to death. Do you know how scary you looked just now? Do you know how I would explain to my grandfather if something happened to you? Do you know--" Zhao Wencheng waved his hands, almost speechless in anxiety.
"Uncle Zhao, I can protect myself." Zhu Changan started to have a headache when he heard Zhao Wencheng's nagging, and quickly changed the subject: "But why did you suddenly appear here? Aren't you on a mission?"
"It's a temporary transfer." Zhao Wencheng sighed: "I am the tactical consultant this time. After all, we psychics are experienced in fighting against monsters and are aware of their weaknesses. These warriors only learned about the existence of monsters today and have no experience in dealing with them. We can't just let a group of ordinary people fight blindly."
"I see. But isn't it said that ordinary thermal weapons are ineffective against weirdness? But now it seems that they are quite effective?"
Zhu Changan pointed towards the battlefield curiously. While they were talking, a low-level monster was hit by a laser and fell silent on the spot.
"This is the new [Anti-Weird Special Attack Version] developed by the research institute."
"A weird special edition?"
"In fact, we have been researching weapons that target strange things. Do you know the Star Hidden Tower?"
"Yes, Xuanji mentioned it before. Its nature is similar to that of a library."
"It's almost the same. There are many research records left by predecessors in the Cangxing Building, all of which are about weird things. It is said that those people in the research institute almost ruined the data in order to develop special attack weapons, and the laboratory was blown up hundreds of times. Fortunately, it was finally successful. The strength of our current weapons is that the strength of A-level and below can kill a kid with one shot. It takes some effort, and it depends on luck if it goes above that."
Zhu Changan was shocked and asked, "So why didn't you use such a powerful weapon before?"
"Because they were only recently developed, and mass production will take some time." Zhao Wencheng looked at Zhu Changan as if he was looking at a silly child.
Zhu Changan nodded without understanding why.
On the battlefield far away, the monsters' attacks were still fierce. There were not many high-level monsters among them, but they were numerous. Even if the warriors used special attack weapons and cooperated with the psychics and monsters, the number they destroyed was not enough compared to the total number of monsters.
After all, the number of weapons in the hands of the warriors is limited, and everyone's physical strength is constantly being consumed and cannot be replenished. If the stalemate continues, unless a divine soldier descends from the sky, they will only end up being exhausted to death.
"Uncle Zhao, should we arrange for the evacuation of our rear personnel now?"
"Evacuate? Where to?"
“A safe place.”
Zhao Wencheng shook his head: "There is no safe place anymore."
"Aren't we the only ones being attacked?"
"I actually hope it's just us. This disaster is global. It's terrifying. The door was only opened a little but it could have such a serious impact on us. If it was fully opened..." Zhao Wencheng couldn't help shivering before he could finish the rest of his words.
"Uncle Zhao, I'll trouble you to take care of grandpa from now on. Tell him to drink less and stay up less late..."
"Hey! Stop it! Don't try to interfere, kid. I've watched too many TV dramas, and what you said is definitely dangerous. I can't control that stubborn old man, go back and talk to him yourself." Zhao Wencheng was shocked and interrupted Zhu Changan with a grin.
Zhu Changan laughed dryly twice: "That's not me. I don't know how to face him."
"Don't care, don't listen, don't help. Anyway, you can figure it out yourself and talk to him yourself."
"……All right."
"Chang'an, there is one more thing." Zhao Wencheng's expression suddenly became serious: "Please keep your amulet with you, protect yourself and don't get hurt. If you really bleed by accident... If it really comes to that, remember to stay away from everyone immediately, hide yourself, and don't trust anyone. Including me."
"Okay." Zhu Changan smiled innocently. He knew what Zhao Wencheng was worried about, and he also knew that he might have some strange qualities. But if it came to bleeding... Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have bled when an accident occurred during a previous mission.
Zhu Changan looked at the battlefield in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
…
"Oh, I almost forgot to ask you, aren't you with Senior Yuheng? Why did you come here alone? Where is Senior Yuheng?"
"Mr. You Lin asked me to deliver something here today. When I was about to go back, the subway had stopped running, so I stayed here temporarily. As for the senior, he should still be in the antique shop, right?"
"Have you tried to contact him?"
Seeing Zhao Wencheng's solemn expression, Zhu Changan suddenly felt a little uneasy. He shook his head and said, "I tried, but I couldn't get in touch with him."
"There's something you probably don't know. The antique shop has disappeared."
"It disappeared. What happened?" Zhu Changan was shocked.
"We sent people to search the place thoroughly." Zhao Wencheng sighed, his face heavy, "It's as if it had never existed. There is not a trace left in the entire building. It disappeared completely. If it weren't for the people around who still remembered it... It would be a headache. Thanks to you for coming out, otherwise you might have disappeared with it."
He was suddenly shocked and raised his head abruptly: "Wait, you just said, who asked you to come here to deliver something?"
"It's Mr. You Lin, the one who always follows the senior. Has Uncle Zhao seen him?"
"You Lin... You Lin, You Lin." Zhao Wencheng paced back and forth, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "I remember why he sounded so familiar. I have not only seen this person before, but now he - no, he is a dragon flying over my head. According to historical records, the real name of Dragon Lord is You Lin!"
They actually knew that there was someone beside Yuheng. But after all, the other party was a demon, and it was difficult to investigate their background, so they didn't pay much attention to it after confirming that the other party had no dangerous tendencies, and they didn't know the other party's name and identity. Now thinking about it, Zhao Wencheng just felt cold all over.
As for why he didn't doubt the fake name that person used, Yuheng was a great demon and had experienced the great war that year, so he naturally knew the former Dragon Lord. Would he let a liar fool around in front of him with the name of a hero?
There is another strange thing, that is Yu Heng's identity. What kind of existence can make Long Zun temporarily suppress his madness and stay by his side like nothing happened? According to historical records, Long Zun had very few personal friends. The only ones who could make him do this were the Demon King and the Phoenix. The Demon King was unlikely, so Yu Heng's identity could only be the Phoenix.
If this speculation is true...
"So, what are they up to now? One is crazy and looking for someone everywhere, and the other has disappeared with the person and the building. Ah, it gives me a headache. Let me figure this out. I'm smart and I'm sure I can figure it out."
Zhao Wencheng took out his terminal and frantically pulled his hair while editing the message to the other party. He deleted and wrote again, and finally sent only one sentence: "In the antique shop, the person next to Yuheng is named You Lin."
"Uncle Zhao, I don't think the one above is the real Mr. You Lin."
"Is that what your intuition tells you?"
"Well, my intuition is always right."
“I hope so.”
