Chapter 428 The Battle of Qinglou
Chapter 428 The Battle of Clearing the Building
Right in front of him, the building made a sound like a burp, and countless pieces of debris and dust fell down.
A crack over a foot wide opened on the floor not far from his feet, allowing him to directly see the twenty-ninth floor... No, he could also see the twenty-eighth floor!
"It's over, the building is really going to collapse!"
An Sheng yelled, half angry and half mad. He was still on the 30th floor, how could he escape?
He was not sure whether the tens of thousands of tons of steel bars and cement would be enough to kill him.
After Meng Fei called Ai Ting, the security guards upstairs and nearby residents' meeting committee members began to organize the evacuation of the residents.
The doors of every house were almost broken down, but they encountered strong resistance.
Among the residents of Putao Mansion, there are countless pieces of news that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Some people say that developers have paid to bribe state agencies and are forcibly evicting them through "evacuations."
It is also said that someone deliberately made a false police report to trick the state into starting to clear the site. As long as they leave, the developer will take the opportunity to demolish the building.
Some people also said that they saw with their own eyes the developer's people climbed up the air conditioning cooling tower and set the building on fire. The building was already smoking, so everyone should run for their lives!
Not only is this statement conclusive, some people even posted photos to the group.
In the photo, two young men wearing T-shirts and jeans are climbing down from the cooling tower, with black smoke billowing from the top of the tower in the background.
But someone immediately suggested from a technical point of view that the black smoke looked unrealistic and might be the effect of Photoshop.
The debate over the authenticity of black smoke has not been concluded yet, and soon someone came out with even more horrifying news.
The two young men they said were not mortals, but either demons or ghosts!
Because in full view of dozens of people, one of the heads was clearly beaten to pieces, but it grew back in an instant!
And the other one didn't give in too much. He was chopped on the forehead with a kitchen knife and still had a fruit knife stuck in his body, but he was still alive and kicking!
Although supernatural powers have been recognized, these scenes of strange powers and chaos are far from the public's understanding of supernatural powers, and even fewer people believe in them.
Moreover, these rumors are totally illogical. If these two people are so powerful, then who knocked off the head of one of them?
Most people believe that the developer's insiders are lurking in the group and creating all kinds of unscrupulous rumors, shaking their determination to defend their homes.
Some people believe that the black smoke coming out of the air-conditioning room is just a chemical smoke bomb intentionally released by the developer.
In the end, the vast majority of people in the group formed a unified opinion with the same hatred and hatred.
No matter how the developers jump up and down, no matter what tricks they come up with, no matter whether there are volcanoes or earthquakes, they are determined not to leave and vow to live or die with the building!
This has brought huge troubles to the evacuation work. Despite the earnest efforts of various people, there are still not many people willing to evacuate.
In the end, Ai Ting made the decision to force the evacuation. The city quickly mobilized fire fighters and special police to cooperate.
If the door does not open after knocking, two firefighters will use electric saws to open the security door, and then a team of special police officers will rush in and carry the person away.
Although this works, it is very slow. According to the current situation, it cannot be completed within an hour or two.
Of course, this also aroused even more fierce resistance from the residents who resolutely defended their homes.
Some people moved out and moved furniture out to block the corridor, and some even poured Sprite on themselves while holding a lit lighter.
But the soldiers of the Republic moved forward unwaveringly. New equipment was also shipped quickly. The firefighters at the front had dry powder fire extinguishers in their hands.
Anyone who sees someone holding a Coke and Sprite bottle will be sprayed in the face with a fire extinguisher and then dragged away by the special police behind them.
Because the corridor was heavily blocked by residents, the firefighters could not rush directly to the 30th floor to put out the fire ignited by the cooling tower.
So a ladder that was enough to reach the 30th floor was delivered. Firefighters in orange fire-resistant suits dragged water pipes and climbed up the steep ladder like ants.
The resistance of hundreds of hardliners in the building continues.
During this period, Meng Fei and Ansheng took the opposite route to the firefighters. They fled from the top down to escape the building.
There is absolutely no chance of waiting for the elevator, and even if they could wait for the elevator, they would not dare to enter.
They kept passing through the crowd and breaking down the mountain of roadblocks in the corridor. Meng Fei "restored" the building along the way.
But his "repair" ability is really of limited use for things like buildings.
Only "BUGs" that can be scanned can be repaired by him. Moreover, scanning requires visual inspection and has a distance limit of tens of meters.
The cracks on the wall that were exposed and not too exaggerated were quickly repaired by him. But the others were very troublesome.
For example, he couldn't see, scan, or repair the broken steel beams and broken concrete blocks that were heavily concealed deep inside the building.
His "repair" was like trying to cover a leaking hole with his hands, and it indeed had a certain delaying effect.
But when the whole building fell into a "death spiral", he was as helpless as the doctor in the ICU at the last moment.
There was another muffled sound from deep in the building, like the helpless whisper of an old man before his death.
Then everyone felt the stairs suddenly shake, and their brains swayed like water in a bottle. Countless dust and debris fell down.
The discussion in the WeChat group came to an abrupt end. Everyone realized that people outside said that the building was going to collapse, which was true.
No matter who does it. Whether it is the state, developers or terrorists, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the building is really going to collapse.
The determination to "swear to live or die together with the building" was instantly thrown out of the window.
The residents scrambled to escape, but were quickly blocked by the many fortifications they had blocked in the corridor!
Ai Ting wore a translucent light blue windbreaker and appeared on the street in the afternoon on a sunny early summer day.
Wearing sunglasses, a black bulletproof vest, and special warfare equipment, Zhang Tension was carrying an automatic rifle and followed with several people.
Potential terrorist cases involving supernatural powers are the highest priority cases handled by Wutong City.
Because the power itself is difficult to predict what it will lead to. Once it is used in a terrorist incident, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Unlike the Taotie where everyone has a gun and murder is a common occurrence, the Qingmang people believe that "human life matters."
If human life is at stake, then everything else has to give way. Whenever human life is at stake, someone has to take the blame.
As soon as she received Meng Fei's call, she went straight to the small helicopter that was on standby at Moon Hall and flew over. It only took a few minutes.
A few minutes later, the whole city seemed like a beehive that was suddenly awakened. Firefighters, special police, and people from all walks of life rushed out.
