The armed police soldiers reacted very quickly. The moment they received the order, they ran wildly under the command of the officers.
Judging from the reaction on the roof just now, it must have hit something weird.
As we are all human beings, it is inevitable that we feel afraid, but the soldiers' will to fight is enough to overwhelm the fear of the unknown. Now they only have one thought in mind.
'Eliminate the target!'
While running, officers kept shouting in the team.
"Pay attention to check and replace the magazine, pay attention to check and replace the magazine..."
Some workers nearby who were frightened or dazed by the gunfire were mobilized by the armed police soldiers and went to the nearest sprinkler facilities, while the rest were all evacuated.
Since it was lunch break, there wasn't much chaos.
Huang Jiutian rushed downstairs with Tao Xingzhi and Xiao Liu and continued to act as eyes.
When Tao Xingzhi got downstairs, he asked for three automatic rifles from the armed police soldiers on the side. He gave one to himself and one to Xiao Liu. When Huang Jiutian thought that he would also be given one, the third rifle flew towards the leader named Li.
At this moment, the pot-bellied Li Donglai pulled the bolt and picked up the gun just like Tao Xingzhi and Xiao Liu, but it did not give Huang Jiutian much sense of disobedience.
The three of them ran wildly together with the armed police soldiers who were left behind to protect them.
The spraying equipment on the entire construction site has basically started to work, with water guns operating everywhere, and armed police soldiers directly carrying out the high-pressure water guns of the fire-fighting system.
While running, Huang Jiutian took off his glasses and felt that his eyesight was better than ever before.
"Heading to the pit where the excavators are!"
There are splashes of water everywhere, which will indeed affect the vision, but as long as Huang Jiutian is there as an eye, he can grasp the general direction, and the water flow can also make the insect monsters appear.
Following Jiutian’s shout, Xiao Liu also yelled into the intercom.
"Everyone, please note that the water curtain blockade is concentrated in the center and surrounding areas of the earthwork excavation site. I repeat, the water curtain blockade is concentrated in the center and surrounding areas of the earthwork excavation site."
There were sprinklers and high-pressure water guns everywhere, and it felt like a heavy rain was falling ahead.
If you don't pay close attention, you can't see clearly what's inside.
"Everyone, please be careful. If you find any non-human targets, shoot them immediately!"
This command was repeated over and over in the intercom.
Apart from the single sound of splashing water, the construction site, which was originally noisy with the constant roar of machinery, suddenly became eerily quiet.
Several drones had already taken off.
This is a newly excavated site, most of which is only sunken about three or four meters. Looking from the air, the large excavators look like toys placed in a shallow box. Fortunately, it is lunch time now, there is no excavation work, and there are basically no drivers on board.
Everyone quietly gathered around the venue. Because of the splashes, the place was basically filled with a thin mist, but countless pairs of eyes did not blink.
Many people's clothes were soaked, and they didn't know whether there was more sweat or water on their clothes.
Imagine if a tiger escaped from the zoo and you had to capture it on the spot at close range. What would happen?
The current situation has only brought more pressure, after all, no tiger is invisible.
The armed police officers have ordered people to gradually lower the water pressure to reduce the density of the water curtain over there in order to improve visibility.
"Is it still in there? Can you see it?"
Tao Xingzhi asked in a low voice to Huang Jiutian who was always by his side.
Jiutian frowned and looked inside. Since Tao Xingzhi didn't allow him to get too close to there, his vision was not very good. At least there were many excavators blocking his view.
However, relying on the sensitivity brought by Qin Xiaoxia's magic, he knew that thing was right below.
"It's still inside, but it seems to be hiding. I can't see where it is. Maybe it would be better if I could climb up the crane!"
"Are you sure there's only one?"
Huang Jiutian looked at him.
"I can only say that, judging from the current situation, there is only one left."
Tao Xingzhi held the gun with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and the leader surnamed Li had almost the same expression.
"He knows how to hide. It seems he has a high intelligence..."
What we fear most is this kind of mutated monster. If it rushes around recklessly, no matter how ferocious it is, modern weapons can teach it a lesson, no, a lesson to be a monster.
As for letting Huang Jiutian climb the tower crane, he is now trapped in a jar. As long as he moves, he will be discovered. It is better not to take risks for the time being. What if he falls? At least we have to wait until the water curtain weakens and has no effect.
Jiutian was no longer worried that the insect monster would run away.
Based on the brief but impressive reaction of this group of people just now, he believed that the insect monsters trapped in the blockade would be shot down even if they could fly.
But I just...
He found that now, whether they were still or moving, Tao Xingzhi and Xiao Liu were basically standing on his left and right, less than an arm's length away, as if he was the leader among the three.
Even the construction site leader named Li was always nearby, and a large number of armed police were arranged to protect the periphery.
Time passed "slowly" one second at a time.
The water curtain is also deliberately controlled to gradually become smaller to a level that is beneficial to human vision.
Since the construction projects are mainly concentrated underground, the height of the tower cranes is not as exaggerated as that of ordinary high-rise buildings. Two snipers had already climbed to the top of a tower crane.
The sniper scope moved slowly to search below, and his heartbeat remained steady.
A puddle in the mud suddenly caused ripples, followed by a curtain of water like a light rain nearby, and a faint outline swayed out from under the bucket of an excavator.
"Bang~"
The gunshot from the top made everyone's heart skip a beat, but no one looked up at the sky. All eyes were fixed on the ground below.
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"
Three more shots were fired almost simultaneously, all from snipers high up.
Then there was another period of silence.
Five minutes later, Huang Jiutian wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Dead!”
The magic power in my arms has stopped beating, but my heart is still beating fast.
Hearing Huang Jiutian's words, everyone nearby breathed a sigh of relief, but no one let down their guard.
After some time passed, perhaps because the cells in the body began to die along with the main body, the outline of the insect monster's corpse in the pit gradually emerged.
It was not until this time that many people finally felt relieved.
On the roof of the board house, a total of three insect monster corpses had already appeared, but they were in a worse condition than their counterparts at the excavation site, and were basically beaten into sieves.
This is a grayish-white monster, about the size of two adults. Including the tail, it is four meters long. It has limbs that are convenient for jumping and have suction cups. In addition to some sharp angles on its body, its other means of attack is probably the retractable mouthparts in its mouth.
If you don't look at the legs, the overall appearance looks a bit like a gecko, but it has more characteristics of an insect.
The reinforcements from the scientific research and chemical defense team arrived at the scene more than half an hour later. They wrapped themselves in tight isolation suits and went down to move the corpses of the insect monsters.
The construction site is still under martial law.
…
In another wooden room, Huang Jiutian sat uneasily on a chair.
In addition to Tao Xingzhi and Xiao Liu, there was also the construction site leader named Li on the opposite side, and there were many armed police with guns standing outside for protection.
Tao Xingzhi and Li Donglai both looked at him thoughtfully, which made Huang Jiutian feel uneasy.
"Huang Jiutian?"
"Yes, it is."
"When did you acquire this ability?"
Jiutian's heart was beating so fast that it was difficult to calm down. He tried hard to think of how to answer.
"I, I don't know exactly when..."
Tao Xingzhi's eyes flashed.
"Then let me ask you another way. When did you discover that you had this ability?"
Jiutian gritted his teeth and let out a breath.
"It was about two weeks ago, but I couldn't be sure at that time. What made me really sure was just now!"
Tao Xingzhi nodded and then asked.
"Why did you suddenly pretend to have a stomach problem just now?"
"Because I think they are coming for me, and I don't want to implicate others!"
Huang Jiutian said this with a clear conscience, and his tone gradually returned to calm.
Everyone present was stunned.
Li Donglai nodded at him.
"rare!"
There is heroism in reality, but you won’t be any better off if I die.
"Why do you think so?"
Tao Xingzhi's questions continued.
"Since I'm the only one who can see them, I think this one is enough."
Tao Xingzhi commented secretly, his thinking is very clear!
But there was one thing he didn't say.
Tao Xingzhi had a vague intuition in his heart. He thought that these insect monsters might not be targeting Huang Jiutian. How to put it? Although it was a bit strange, he always felt that they were more likely to be targeting him.
Afterwards, several people asked Huang Jiutian about some of his family situations, focusing more on his diet, health status and some living habits.
After detailed questioning, it took nearly two hours before Huang Jiutian had a good rest.
The room was a lounge for senior engineering staff, with beds and instructions for someone to bring in late lunch.
Well, although it was not stated explicitly, in short, Huang Jiutian was "happily" placed under house arrest.
…
Tao Xingzhi, Xiao Liu and Li Donglai walked out of the wooden house together. After all, Li Donglai was old and not as strong as he used to be. He had just expended a lot of energy, so he excused himself early to rest.
He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, letting the smoke roll in his lungs for a while before he reluctantly exhaled.
"Prepare to draft the minutes of the report..."
After a pause, he continued.
"A suspected new human has been discovered!"
