Despite Si Qingqing being very brave and having decent strength, she was still a girl.
So when she saw this bizarre and terrifying scene before her, she was frightened and turned pale.
"Brother, what... what’s going on here?"
Fei Bai looked serious and did not answer Si Qingqing’s question, instead pulling her directly out of the square and into the sky above the city.
They saw the vast Zhongdu engulfed in smoke with fires everywhere, the sounds of slaughter unceasing.
Since it was a weekend evening, the streets were crowded, and the sudden event quickly descended into an unmanageable chaos.
Especially since the first wave of killed people had started to revive and attack those around them indiscriminately.
Because of fear and total lack of preparedness, the number of casualties was growing exponentially.
Watching those scenes as terrifying as hell, Si Qingqing trembled all over.
But Fei Bai’s expression was extremely solemn, muttering to himself, "Something’s not right. Why is it, at this moment, we don’t see anyone from the Federal Credential Bureau stepping in to maintain order?"
He took his sister’s hand and flew toward the Federal Credential Bureau’s headquarters in Zhongdu.
In fact, there was no need to fly close, as from two blocks away, they could already see towering flames.
The whole building was like a blazing torch, illuminating much of Zhongdu’s night sky.
And several blocks near the building were pletely soaked in blood.
Groups of people in Federal uniforms were crazily slaughtering all living things they could see.
Fei Bai was suddenly shocked, a thought flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "It’s the chip!"
Beside him, Si Qingqing was baffled, "What chip?"
Fei Bai waved his hands repeatedly, swords slashing nonstop, while explaining rapidly, "Haven’t you noticed that the first wave of attackers were all security and Federal Credential Bureau personnel? They all have one thing in mon, which is that they’ve been implanted with control chips by Starring."
Upon hearing this, Si Qingqing finally understood and exclaimed excitedly.
"Exactly, it’s true! Brother, in that case, it’s clearly the work of that artificial intelligence, Starring. These people have all bee its puppets, but why do those killed by them also act uncontrollably?"
Si Qingqing was a smart girl and quickly grasped the crux of the matter.
Fei Bai shook his head, "I don’t know exactly what’s going on now, but it’s definitely related to that Starring and the chips."
While speaking, dozens of aircraft roared across the sky.
Si Qingqing was delighted, "Are they reinforcements?"
But as she spoke, she saw those jets start to crazily pour down ammunition on the city below.
"No!" Si Qingqing exclaimed in horror.
Fei Bai sneered slightly, stepped forward, his hands making a gripping motion, an invisible Sword Intent rapidly formed, then sliced horizontally through the sky.
Boom Boom Boom!
Where the Sword Intent passed, the madly pouring ammunition was crushed into nothingness.
After resolving this crisis, before Fei Bai could catch his breath, the jets that had flown past turned around and charged at Fei Bai.
Dense ammunition roared toward Fei Bai like fiery snakes.
Fei Bai was fearless, first using a Sword Intent to shield his sister, then slashed out hundreds of Sword Intents in a matter of moments, smashing all attacks into pieces.
But by this time, the jets had already rushed close enough that even with Fei Bai’s eyesight, he could see the pilots through the cockpit glass.
All these pilots had blank expressions, some even had half their bodies replaced by mechanical structures.
In this situation, they had a strong endurance for aircraft overload, and their reaction speed had increased significantly.
The leading jets deftly dodged Fei Bai’s slashing swords, then roared through.
Fei Bai pulled his sister back rapidly, but by then he had already fallen into the sight of these mechanical monsters.
Almost just after they moved back a little, a rain of bullets roared from all directions targeting him.
And missiles with long fiery tails whizzed toward Fei Bai.
In an instant, Fei Bai fell into a perilous situation.
Fei Bai’s expression was solemn as he said to Si Qingqing seriously, "When I tell you to run, you run immediately!"
Si Qingqing’s tears burst forth, but she didn’t hesitate, nodding heavily in agreement.
"Alright!"
Because she knew, her brother wasn’t discussing but ordering her now.
Staying here could only bee her brother’s burden, better to heed his words and leave immediately.
Only then might the siblings have a slim chance.
Fei Bai took a deep breath, stomped heavily, and countless Sword Qi exploded outwards, slashing in all directions.
A myriad of explosions sounded around them, and in this critical moment, Fei Bai’s sword shot out like a dragon, directly cutting a path open.
"Go quickly!"
Si Qingqing did not dare to look back, using all her strength to charge forward.
But she had barely rushed out when a violent explosion sounded behind her, the massive shockwave sent her flying.
Shrapnel cut through her body and cheek, but she couldn’t care about that now.
Finally stabilizing mid-air, the first thing she did was turn back to look.
Only to see where her brother stood moments ago had turned into a Sea of Fire.
Two damaged jets plummeted and landed, sparking another explosion on the ground.
Si Qingqing shouted hoarsely.
"Brother!"
Then her vision went black, nearly fainting.
But at that moment, a soft voice rang in her ear.
"I’m fine, hurry and leave!"
Si Qingqing turned aside, seeing her brother Fei Bai standing right beside her.
At this moment, he had lost his usual aura of a Sword Cultivator master.
His clothes were shredded into strips, hanging from him, revealing the charred skin underneath, his face had several deep wounds visible to the bone.
But Si Qingqing wept tears of joy.
No matter what, as long as her brother was alright.
The siblings were about to escape when the buzz of helicopters filled the air, approaching swiftly.
Fei Bai paled, couldn’t care about much, grabbed his sister and began to flee.
But he was a step too slow, in the blink of an eye, innumerable black-painted drones flew out from the darkness, encircling them.
These drones ranged in size from as large as a millstone to as small as a palm, yet regardless of size, they were all armed with delicate missiles that made one’s heart tremble.
Fei Bai suddenly hugged his sister tightly, Sword Qi surged around them in layers, forming a thick sword shield.
Si Qingqing, trembling in Fei Bai’s embrace, asked, "Brother, are we going to die?"
