Most of the armored vehicles and soldiers were behind the buildings on the street or in other hidden corners, and a team of soldiers were slowly approaching with nervous expressions.
Before this, they had already tried to test the monster several times by throwing heavy objects and shooting with machine guns, but there was no response.
Now it's the turn of artificial approach.
The closer they get, the slower their steps become.
Norton hid in the command vehicle at the rear, watching the soldiers' movements through drone footage.
When they got close enough, the leader clenched his fist and raised his hand, signaling to stop.
They were less than ten meters away from the Balrog.
The rolling heat waves continued, and the water on the ground was evaporated and gathered under the fire demon, gathered and evaporated again.
Carefully scan with the instrument in hand.
"Thermal sensors show that its temperature continues to drop. It is now 500 degrees Celsius. The temperature at the core of its body is estimated to be over a thousand degrees Celsius."
The leading soldier gestured toward the sky and stepped back a few steps. On the fire helicopter hovering above, the crew immediately opened the gate and sprayed a large amount of cold water.
After repeated aerial spraying and close inspection, the temperature of the Fire Demon's body was effectively lowered.
After an hour, Norton, who had grown bolder, ordered the fire department to turn on the high-pressure water guns and use more than a dozen nozzles to spray water at the monster to cool it down.
This time he must be really dead!
Everyone felt relieved, as if a huge stone had finally fallen to the ground.
Unlike the previous battle when they wanted to cut the monster into pieces, the first thing to do now is to protect the corpse, so they did not use liquid nitrogen, a highly efficient refrigerant that could easily destroy the corpse.
Norton was very busy, the 19th Organization Department was very busy, the thirty-meter-long corpse was becoming more and more like brittle rock, and all their energy was put into how to preserve, transport and conduct subsequent research.
As for the mysterious force that was fighting against the horrible monster and might play a decisive role in the end, they were full of awe but also full of doubts.
Who are they? Are they mutations of goodness? Are they native to the Earth or are they from outside the Earth? Are there any humans among them? How many humans are there? Did that beautiful spiritual creature really die? Did they suffer serious losses in this incident?
If he really had to list them all, Norton felt he could publish a new edition of 100,000 Whys.
In addition, disaster relief work in the urban area has been carried out in an orderly manner under the responsibility of other departments.
…
Su Su and Jenny had been evacuated along with other ordinary people according to Qin Xiaoxia's later instructions, but they were extremely worried about the safety of their mentor.
Since he was always paying attention to that place, he naturally saw the shadow of the Red Banshee in the sky later, but he did not see the Fire Demon because he had been evacuated to the outer city area which blocked his view.
But most people could see the fiery red sky and the subsequent impact.
The constant roar of artillery shells touched everyone's heart.
For Su Su and Jenny, no matter what the military does, it is not their concern.
The mentor's powerful magic fluctuations and another heart-pounding violent magic were constantly fighting each other. In their perception, it was more obvious than the sound of gunfire.
Especially after the explosive impact in the final stage, they lost their sensitivity to the mentor's magic and the violent magic.
The strong sense of foreboding made them feel uneasy, and a picture kept appearing in their minds uncontrollably.
That means the mentor and the powerful monster died together!
What on earth is the U.S. military doing? In this day and age, without the power of dawn, will they still only be a drag?
Jenny and Su Su seemed extremely angry, and the former even regretted informing the association about this matter.
Fortunately, they received Doudou's message later and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Some of the worst-hit areas in the city were affected by the collapse of buildings, mostly due to impact and building debris, as well as downed aircraft and errant ammunition.
A local civilian rescue team in St. Louis finally obtained the rescue permission after a long wait. This is their city, their home, and it has suffered a disaster, so they are more depressed than in any previous rescue mission.
Yes, although the sound of gunfire could not be concealed, the government still claimed to the outside world that it was a disaster, mainly portraying it as an unexpected meteorite shower.
The rescue team kept moving back and forth for two hours, looking for disaster-stricken citizens in need of help. In addition to them, some citizens returned to the disaster area and spontaneously participated in the rescue.
The military is still mainly recovering the wreckage of combat weapons, etc. Some of those involved in the rescue are also symbolically maintaining order. The real government rescue force has not yet arrived.
"Oh, thank God you're here!"
"Hurry up and save my friend! He suffered misfortune on his first day here!"
When the two young ladies saw them, they rushed towards them in panic. One of them was particularly beautiful, but they had no intention of admiring her today.
"Where?"
"Follow me quickly, they are trapped under the floor!"
A group of people quickly followed Su Su and Jenny and ran to a collapsed shopping mall.
The faint sound of children crying continued to be heard from the ruins.
Apparently, a car had come from nowhere and hit the shop, crushing part of it.
Two yellow men, one big and one small, were trapped under a floor.
The adult was in a very bad condition, his face was pale and covered in blood, but it was still touching that he used his body to protect the safe but frightened and distressed child.
"Sir, are you okay, sir, can you speak?"
Qin Xiaoxia shook his head and pushed Doudou forward.
The meaning is very clear, rescue the child first.
Although such scenes are often seen during disasters, the rescue team was still moved as always.
"Sir, we'll rescue you right away!"
"Quick, support the lifter at the stress point and prepare the rubber pads and magazines."
"Clear all this clutter from the doors and windows, we need the space!"
"Hurry, be careful, his legs might be torn off, watch out for his chest, his ribs might be broken!"
"Get the cardiac stimulant and painkiller ready!"
After a flurry of activity, they cleared the debris and lifted the floor, then carefully rescued two people, one adult and one child, from the supported slope.
This civilian rescue team demonstrated sufficient professionalism and admirable humanitarian spirit.
The ambulance arrived only after Qin Xiaoxia was "rescued".
After expressing their gratitude, Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou, as well as their accompanying relatives and friends Su Su and Jenny, got on the ambulance together.
Since the extent of the disaster was not too extreme, the St. Louis Central Hospital was not overcrowded, but it definitely made the doctors busy.
There are always unlucky people. Apart from the soldiers and police, it is estimated that three people died in the disaster and more than 80 people were injured to varying degrees. Most of the injured were caused by trampling and traffic accidents during the evacuation.
Qin Xiaoxia entered the hospital's intensive care unit openly and used the American hospital's medical resources to help recover from his injuries.
…
A day later, the doctor diagnosed that Qin Xiaoxia's injuries had been effectively controlled and he had passed the critical period.
Jenny still had to comfort her aunt, so she could only visit occasionally, while Su Su and Dou Dou stayed in the ward the whole time.
Inside the single room, the news was playing on TV.
"On the afternoon of May 4th, local time in St. Louis, a meteorite suddenly hit the sky above the city. The National Guard, who were isolating the new disease area, responded immediately and destroyed the main body of the meteorite with intensive firepower, minimizing damage to the city. However, a lot of fragments still caused damage. The local organization... It is reported that the new weapons used by the military this time are the key to successfully destroying the meteorite, which produces some special optical phenomena..."
"This disaster caused more than 80 casualties, including local residents, some tourists to the United States, and active-duty soldiers and police..."
"Astronomy experts said that this meteorite was observed temporarily a few days ago. The original orbit was scheduled to pass by the earth. It may be because of the slight change in the tidal gravity of the earth and the moon that affected the orbit of this meteorite... This station has interviewed..."
Qin Xiaoxia watched the TV program with great interest. Since the TV was not a language directly produced by humans, he asked Su Su to translate some of the content he did not understand.
There is a saying that goes, you don't have to fool everyone, you just have to fool most of them.
Qin Xiaoxia thinks it is quite suitable to use it here.
"Haha, what a boast, meteorite!"
In a short period of time, Doudou had eaten most of the box of fruit in the ward, and his mouth was filled with fruit pulp.
"That's right! You're really good at talking!"
Then he looked at his older cousin and silently added, "He's still a lot worse than you."
"Huh!? Did you say something bad about me?"
Doudou was horrified. Why did his cousin's intuition become even more terrifying?
"What?"
All the apple crumbs in his mouth sprayed onto Su Su who was on the other side of the bed.
