Chapter 87
At 15:30, Li Yang went to the detention center.
The guarding officer was a female police officer, who unlocked the door for him.
Li Yang walked in. Her mother-in-law was sitting in front of the window with iron bars, looking quiet and trance-like. The late spring breeze ruffled her gray hair.
Neither of them spoke for a long time. The mother-in-law looked at a cloud in the sky with her cloudy eyes and said, "Can it be finished before summer comes?"
If spring is not good, then summer will be full of vitality.
This is the opportunity left for it by spring.
Li Yang said softly but firmly: "Yes."
The mother-in-law turned her head and stretched out her hand towards Li Yang slowly as usual.
The skin on his hands was wrinkled, as if curled up, and the lines on his palms were rough from doing rough work when he was young.
But when Li Yang saw it, the memory of his grandmother holding his hand and stroking his face and head was still vivid in his mind.
He walked over and held his mother-in-law's hand.
The mother-in-law's rough but warm, safe hand groped from his palm and fingertips to his wrist, and a thin rope-like object made her pause.
He still wears the red string that was braided for him when he was a child.
Ma Jiaolan's emotions have not fluctuated much since she reunited with Li Yang and was taken to Nanjiang Detention Center. No, since she was placed under house arrest by Emperor Chao Yuanzong, or rather, since she sold her soul to Lord Lingfeng.
Until this moment, her face twitched slightly, her gray eyes immediately moistened, and she couldn't help but sigh deeply again and again, changing her breath, "Yangyang, Yangyang... Is my mother-in-law very bad? She is a bad person..."
She has done many bad things. She wished for the death of the whole village. She helped Lingfeng Shenjun collect evil thoughts. She monitored Li Yang...
Li Yang gently embraced his mother-in-law. The old lady had a small frame and didn't have much flesh as far as he could remember. Her strong body showed her aura, but now, her back was hunched, bent by sadness and self-blame.
However, Li Yang only thought about her first half of life. A girl less than 20 years old had already suffered all the hardships in life.
She had never been loved well and for a long time, and the few people who loved her well did not have a good ending.
She didn't know where fate went wrong to push her to where she was now.
She couldn't decide anything for herself.
But she chose to disobey the evil god who could take her life, to deceive him, to help Li Yang, and to give Li Yang the first warmth in his life.
"Mother-in-law, you will always be the best family member to me." Li Yang lowered her neck and whispered.
Seeing this, the female police officer who was guarding outside quickly asked her colleagues outside to bring lunch that had been heated in the microwave.
Whispered to Li Yang: "The old lady eats very little every day. She didn't eat anything today. Please coax her to eat."
Li Yang wanted to feed her mother-in-law, but she took the food box away.
The mother-in-law ate half of it herself and couldn't finish the rest, so Li Yang took it away.
After the half-hour visit, Li Yang said goodbye politely, told her mother-in-law to eat dinner, and left.
779 is not far from the special detention center of the Religious Affairs Bureau, a 20-minute drive away.
Li Yang was driving past a square. When he was waiting for the traffic light at the central roundabout, the celebrity-endorsed advertisement on the big screen above the square suddenly changed to an urgent news.
The female anchor, who had a dignified look and wore a blue suit and white shirt, reported in a serious tone: "Emergency report, at 16:15 this afternoon, two explosions occurred on the Jianghai Bridge, with a time difference of less than five seconds. It is suspected that someone has placed explosives. Currently, the police have blocked the bridge and are investigating..."
This accident caused passers-by to stop and watch, and the long red light also made drivers less annoyed, so they lowered their windows and watched carefully.
Li Yang looked over and saw that the scene had changed from the studio to the scene shot by a helicopter. He saw that the Jianghai Bridge had been blown off at both ends, and the bridge deck in the middle supported by piers was like an isolated island, with dozens of cars parked on the left and right sides of the bridge.
Cars, buses, coaches...
Among them, the orange-yellow school bus is particularly eye-catching.
Li Yang's pupils suddenly dilated and he wanted to pick up his cell phone, but the phone on the dashboard lit up first, and the incoming call tone was shrill.
He picked up the phone quickly and Zhou Du's voice entered his ears: "The school bus is stuck on the Jianghai Bridge."
Meanwhile, when the green light came on, many cars did not move, and some drivers who did not care much about the accident honked their horns.
Li Yang was also awakened and turned on the hands-free car, holding the steering wheel and driving forward.
After passing the intersection, Li Yang was surprised to find that his palms were sweating.
“Yes.”
"It was Lu Xiaoguo who followed the car today. We couldn't contact her. It should be that all the trapped people couldn't communicate."
It's equivalent to losing connection.
"Have the people from 779 and the Religious Affairs Bureau gone yet?" Li Yang asked as he took out two tissues and held them to absorb the sweat from his face.
"I've already gotten there. I'm on the way too." Zhou Du.
Li Yang threw the tissue into a ball with one hand and said, "I'll go over now."
"Don't worry when you get there, just join me first."
Li Yang replied calmly with "hmm", stopped looking at his phone, and drove safely towards the Jianghai Bridge.
When they were almost there, Li Yang smelled a strange smell in the air through the lowered car window.
He leaned forward to look at the sky outside the windshield, and saw that the sky in the direction of the Jianghai Bridge was dark gray, making the sky seem darker.
The dark cloud only covered the place where the accident occurred. Everyone found it mysterious, so they took photos and videos and uploaded them to social media platforms for discussion.
When we drove to one kilometer away from the Jianghai Bridge, traffic police had already blocked the road and were on duty.
Zhou Du was waiting here. When he saw Li Yang's car, he greeted the traffic police, sat in the passenger seat, and said to Li Yang, "Liang Tang and the others are still on the way."
The traffic police removed the warning sign and let him go. Li Yang drove him in. There were no vehicles on the blocked road, so the whole journey was smooth.
When we arrived at the bridge, police cars, cars from the Religious Affairs Bureau, and cars from Unit 779 were all parked there, and countless relevant personnel and leaders were discussing countermeasures.
Molanke from the Religious Affairs Bureau is talking to Wang from 779: "Have all the people within a mile radius of both sides of the bridge been evacuated?"
Director Wang nodded: "Office buildings, residential buildings, and shopping malls have all been evacuated urgently. There are no ordinary people left."
Molanke breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
So, now the only people left are those on the broken bridge.
They turned around and looked at the broken bridge. There was a ravine more than ten meters long. The firefighters used a half-meter-wide fire ladder to connect the broken parts.
Then, the firefighters with excellent physical fitness quickly climbed up the ladder to the bridge deck.
They originally wanted car owners trapped on the broken bridge to abandon their vehicles and leave, but when they arrived, they were shocked to find something strange - in such a serious accident, no one got out of the car to wait for rescue or call for help.
They knocked on the car window but received no response. They bent over and looked through the window and found that everyone in the car was unconscious. Some were lying on the steering wheel, while others were lying on their backs with their eyes closed.
They thought that the shock wave from the explosion caused the injury to the car owner, so they immediately turned on the walkie-talkie to report the situation.
So, another team of firefighters carried the emergency stretcher over, and the medical team of the ambulance that had come to support from the rear earlier also waited at the place closest to the bridge head with emergency medical equipment.
The firefighters on the broken bridge smashed the car windows and rescued the unconscious people.
But soon, when the fire captain was about to smash the driver's window of a car, the back window was lowered, revealing a round head, and then lowered again, revealing a childish white face, probably in the first or second grade, with black eyes open: "Uncle firefighters, are you going to save my parents?"
At the same time, the intercom on his chest and shoulder came with reports from his comrades: "Captain Xiao, there's a child!"
"Captain Xiao, we have children here too!"
"Captain Xiao, ..."
In short, in all vehicles with children, the children were awake, and only the adults were unconscious.
Without waiting for them to think about the reason, saving lives was the most important thing, so they guided the child to open the safety lock in the car and rescued the person.
After bringing all the adults and children back to the bridgehead, they were sent to the ambulance for examination and then to the hospital. Some firefighters also brought back babies who were a few months old.
All the teachers of the Yangjian Zhengdao Xiaoshumiao Kindergarten had already arrived and heard the firefighters muttering, "This is weird, how come all the children are okay?"
Fatty Liang glanced at the sky above the broken bridge, and shook his head at the demons and resentful forces rising into the sky that were invisible to the naked eye.
These things absorb energy by bewitching people, but the child is pure and clean, what can the magic bewitch? Could it be that they whispered in the child's ear: "Do you want Ultraman Zero?"
...Children naturally won’t understand.
As for the police officers and firefighters, they can carry out rescue work normally without being affected, it is because they are masculine and blessed by the positive energy of red.
Otherwise, ordinary people cannot get close to these monsters and resentful forces.
The rescue work was carried out by moving from both sides of the Jianghai Bridge to the middle simultaneously to conduct the search.
The school bus of the Yangjian Zhengdao Xiaosou Kindergarten was in the middle. When the rescue was almost over, the Religious Affairs Bureau arranged for a number of people to go to the hospital. With the help of modern medicine, some metaphysical methods were used to awaken the body.
The rescue lasted for two hours and it was already dark.
At this time, all major news stations received notification from their superiors that the people on the broken bridge had been rescued and would not follow up on this topic for the time being.
So, the drones and helicopters flew away from the broken bridge.
People from Liyang, Zhoudu and 779 stepped onto the Broken Bridge one after another.
However, except for Li Yang, everyone else was attacked by countless monsters as soon as they reached the bridge and were unable to escape.
Only Li Yang and Zhou Du were not harassed. But Zhou Du continued to throw talismans, killing monsters one after another rhythmically.
When they reached one-third of the broken bridge, there was no one behind Li Yang and Zhou Du, and the backup was tripped at the very beginning of the bridge.
They came to the orange school bus in the middle.
Lingfeng God, in a gray gauze robe, was sitting on the roof of the school bus. A bright moon was behind him in the night sky. He propped his cheek up and smiled, looking at Li Yang leisurely, but his words were directed to Zhou Du: "Sir, you are so late."
He made no secret of his desire to replace Li Yang and his covetousness for Zhou Du.
Li Yang twisted the silver chain on his wrist, and when the Flowing Umbrella transformed, eight silver needles attacked the evil god.
The evil god in the form of a woman with a male body dodged the attack with a light kick.
“Chenchen, a waste like you will never be able to return to heaven even if you reincarnate a hundred times.” The evil god had a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.
The kids in the school bus saw Li Yang and Zhou Du and shouted, "Driver brother!!! Principal teacher!!!"
Lu Xiaoguo almost cried with joy. Although she didn't know what the relationship between Heaven and Li Yang was, she felt more confident when Zhou Du and Li Yang came. She shouted provocatively: "You are such a ghost, even the reincarnation thinks you have polluted the road to the underworld!"
The kids were even more furious: "Driver brother! This androgynous guy said it is you! How can it be like you? It's so ugly and smells bad! It's a bad guy! It released a lot of dirty things!"
Fortunately, there are always forbidden talismans in the school bus. Lu Xiaoguo posted one in each direction to prevent monsters from entering.
Xiao Kai, who was guarding Li Yang, was also very calm. He was not sure if he was scared or not, but he did not appear panicked. He followed Lu Xiaoguo's instructions and protected the cub together.
