December 27th, 1:41 PM, suburban Cliff City, Coastal Automobile Production Plant.
Cafeteria, workshop, dormitories, everyone heard a distant muffled sound, like a tire bursting, and one minute later, the fire alarm suddenly blared.
Echoing across the entire park!
When a massive pillar of pale smoke gradually rose in the distance, everyone saw a bizarre mushroom cloud slowly expanding.
Sharp alarms rang out one after another, and as everyone exchanged puzzled looks, a strange and indifferent female voice ca through the broadcast system: "Major safety hazard detected. According to the factory's safety managent implentation regulations, all departnt foren are to cease all production activities and orderly organize each group of employees to assemble in the central square in front of the main building.
Repeat, major safety hazard detected..."
In less than a minute, all equipnt in each unit was completely shut down, all sources of ignition were thoroughly extinguished, and water, electricity, and gas were entirely shut off.
The bewildered and confused workers gathered densely on the square under the urging and calls of the team leaders.
Facing such a situation for the first ti, flustered departnts counted their numbers once more, repeatedly confirming no errors, and then, like cattle and sheep, were herded onto those large transport trucks originally used for loading cucumbers, speeding away section by section.
Under the terrible road conditions, everyone could only hold onto the railings, swaying to and fro. Just as soone joked about not being sent to so shady industrial park, screams erupted from the back of the truck.
Looking down from the winding mountain road, billowing white mist surged like a tide, spreading and gradually moving towards the coastal factories.
In just a few minutes, the entire vast factory area was engulfed.
Seasonal change erged in the thick fog ahead, donning a gas mask and protective suit, Ji Jue walked out of the workshop: "Isis, report status."
"Ten minutes ago, the drone on the periter detected an explosion accident eleven kiloters away at the chemical liquid storage area of South Crossing Chemicals, causing over a hundred tons of highly polluted chemical substances to leak out. The wind direction is southeast, with carcinogenic pollutants estimated to cover a range of eighty kiloters, encompassing the entire factory.
Based on the type and quantity of leaked chemicals, the shortest expected natural settlent ti is five to seven years, with harm to the human body lasting over twenty years."
Isis said: "Looks like your trouble-inducing ability is even more exaggerated than I anticipated."
Boom!
In the footage transmitted from a distant drone, an explosion of firelight soared into the sky.
Ji Jue didn't speak, only stared at the screen, watching the disgusting, sinister white mist slowly spreading, where countless birds dropped from flight, fine white frost covered fertile land, and beasts, insects, snakes collapsed silently.
The once lush mountains and clear waters instantaneously turned into a devastated land.
After a long ti, he let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"I thought my baseline couldn't get any lower." He whispered: "Turns out there are experts too."
The phone rang.
"Hello, it's ." Ji Jue picked up the phone: "Don't worry, workers have been organized to evacuate for shelter, the factory is still relatively safe, though it's quite slly."
"Alright, take care."
The voice on the other end of the line said: "Also, prepare an umbrella."
At that instant, the wind direction abruptly changed.
The white mist blowing southeast suddenly stalled, and without warning, thunder exploded from the sky, a small black dot appeared in mid-air.
Transported out of thin air.
Then, Hui Hao unsheathed.
Tong Shan!
Rebirth form showed variation, countless characters circulated over the pale skin, converging atop the sword blade and blending into the endlessly flowing ink.
Ink andered from the sky above. Instantly, it outlined a vortex-like contour.
—Catastrophe Image!
In a distant mountain hollow, a prostrate figure raised its head, looking towards Tong Shan, subconsciously wanting to reach out, but was imdiately held down by another person.
"Don't move." The bearded Chosen One stiffened, lowly warning: "Don't move!"
Sweating profusely.
As if sensing, those indifferent gazes from the depths of Cliff City glanced over.
A phone rang, without any forewarning.
Even without operation, it connected by itself, speaker activated.
"Since you're here, how about stopping by for tea and a chat?" Tong Ting's voice rang out: "Or, you can try to see if you can escape from Cliff City's territory."
"The Tong family is reasonable."
Before hanging up, he lastly reminded: "Live or die, you choose."
Deathly silence.
Long amidst the deathly silence, the two stood frozen.
After a while, only thunderous noises from the sky were heard.
A clear sky suddenly turned dark, the wind direction shifted sharply, from the rift of Heavenly Rift, the storm surged, bursting wildly, sweeping the earth, resembling invisible hands grabbing the tide of spreading pollution, pulling inwards.
In an instant, amidst thunder and lightning, a ragged tornado rose from the ground!
Earth trembled, torrential rain poured down, a heavy rain curtain swallowed everything in an instant, the howling wind shifted south. The nacing tornado, like a monster, devoured all along the way leaked pollution, into the crevice upon the sky.
And the raging tornado, howled slowly towards the distant ocean.
Until it disappeared.
Truly Tian Yuan, this terrifying control power instantly turned the situation around, reducing a disaster spanning hundreds of kiloters to the lowest possible degree.
From beginning to end, there was never any attack, not even an unexpected event.
The entire process was unbelievably smooth, making Ji Jue find it hard to believe.
Yet at the sa ti, a shadow gradually lood over his heart.
Until the phone rang again.
The screen glowed crimson.
——Ergency line!
.
.
Outside the ruins of Spring City, within a makeshift gathering area, a fire shot up into the sky.
The explosion happened so suddenly that there wasn't ti to react.
At the busiest ti of noon, with people bustling on the streets, when Chen Yubo was driving his iconic pink tricycle, cheerfully ready to go out for food, a truck speeding down the road outside abruptly turned, crushing the flimsy tal barrier and crashing into the street, slamming into the tricycle head-on.
In an instant, under the terrifying impact, the entire tricycle was like a ball kicked ferociously, shooting straight out, crashing into another makeshift house.
Imdiately afterwards, the relentless truck followed, toppling over, while the load of garbage in the truck bed swept across the narrow street, crushing countless pedestrians and buildings, and then the fire surged.
The scorching fla light and air waves spread, and in a flash, countless bricks and limbs flew up into the sky, falling like rain.
Dozens of houses, along with most of the Yulou Trade yard, were leveled!
Amidst the burning flas and thick smoke, cries and screams rose.
One after another.
"What the—"
Lu Feng jumped out of the portable toilet like a tiger, avoiding the miserable fate of being covered in filth. As he looked up at the spreading flas, he imdiately rolled over, diving behind cover, pulling up his pants while spinning in mid-air.
Narrowly avoiding the air waves from the car explosion, he remained dirt-covered, holding his breath.
"A car bomb, damn? Who the hell can even tell the difference between Central Earth and the Federation anymore... Damn it... Black Skin, Dog Head, Slanted Eyes, anyone there? Speak up!"
He yelled into the walkie-talkie: "Where's the boss?!"
A hurried voice ca through the walkie-talkie: "Brother Feng, Black Skin went out with the boss, he's in the car, gone!"
"Shut up if you can't talk properly."
Lu Feng covered his face, charging into the smoky scene, clutching the box he never leaves behind. From afar, he saw half of the car fra exposed in the rubble.
Completely distorted.
Yet inside the car fra, it was gleaming silver, dazzling!
After all, they're friends. Knowing Chen Yubo had many enemies, Ji Jue had given him a special edition, not only thickening the bulletproof car body, reinforcing it against impacts, but also infusing it with pure rcury treated by Fluid Alchemy inside.
When the conditions of alarm in the shock absorption system, car fra distortion, broken windows, and loss of balance are t in two, it would directly activate.
Then, expanding and spraying rcury and foaming hardener would imdiately fill the car interior space, rapidly hardening while forming countless fine air layers.
Even using a chainsaw would take at least half an hour to cut through.
A literal iron coffin.
Breaking through it is quite simple.
While sprinting, Lu Feng reached from his wristband and grabbed Ji Jue's specially made glass-breaking device, holding his breath, lifting his clothes to shield his face, and tapped lightly.
The instantly solidified rcury abruptly scattered, evaporated, and the scorching steam spread, forming a dense fog blocking visibility.
And two bodies slid out from the liquid, falling to the ground.
Without a glance, Lu Feng grabbed them by their collars, lowered his head, and sprinted wildly, hiding behind the ruins, then saw Chen Yubo's bruised and gasping face.
Black Skin was still conscious, but his arm was broken, silently gritting his teeth, giving an OK gesture.
"Hey?! Hey, boss, still alive? Make a sound—"
Lu Feng unapologetically slapped Chen Yubo hard twice, and the unconscious man began to cough violently, tears and snot streaming, but his hand imdiately reached out, tightly grasping Lu Feng: "Old Lu, cough cough, Old Lu, save , save..."
"Hang in there!"
Lu Feng ripped open the bottom of his pants, pulled out an adrenaline shot, and injected it. Instantly, the dying boss blushed, his eyes filled with bloodshot threads, reddening.
He scread.
"Don't speak, co with , quick quick quick!!!"
Lu Feng tossed his gun to Black Skin, signaling him to scout ahead, then grabbed Chen Yubo's collar and began sprinting without pause.
Generally speaking, according to Central Earth's terrorist attack habits, the car bomb was just an appetizer, soone would surely check the results.
If the target survived...
Beep—!!!!
A sharp alarm sounded from the walkie-talkie, and Dog Head's old soldier scread in the communication: "Lu Feng, be careful, it's fire—"
A line of sparks pierced the sky!
RPG!
