It was almost late at night when the box truck was speeding down the city streets.
As for being held hostage, Xia Nuan's mood was very stable.
She had encountered even scarier and worse situations in her nightmares, so she had already become numb.
Moreover, this group of gangsters does not seem to be cruel. The word to evaluate them should be professional.
Xia Nuan was so professional that Xia Nuan felt that there would be no universities specializing in robbery in this world. The gangsters in the car were all Ph.D.-level figures in robbery.
From the moment you enter the bank, from controlling the area, to prying open the vault door, withdrawing money and escaping, etc., the process can all be described as professional and even elegant.
Everywhere reveals a sense of ease and ease with which "there is nothing but familiar hands and ears".
So now all Xia Nuan's thoughts are...
How many times have you robbed banks? Why are you so skilled!
Just as Xia Nuan was guessing the origins of these gangsters in the box truck, sirens suddenly sounded outside the car.
This time the police response was unexpectedly quick...
Can you stop talking nonsense?
Even if you don’t count the bank robbery committed by Trevor and his gang, the movement caused by the sniper deployed outside the bank was enough to shock the entire United States!
That sniper carried out a terrorist attack-level operation with a heavy machine gun in a downtown area.
Even if not a single person was injured in this series of shootings, the most serious injuries would only be wrist sprains and the like.
But in today's social environment in America...
The police in this city, America, would have already characterized this group of people as dangerous elements, if the police in this city, America, had not caught them.
Then it is estimated that all public officials in the city of America will pack up and get out!
So when Franklin drove this box truck through the bustling streets of this city.
Rows of police cars were already following the van closely.
Not only police cars... but also two police helicopters were hovering among the high-rise buildings, and the searchlights shining from them always locked the position of the box truck.
In this city-wide manhunt, no matter how skilled the driver of this box truck is, there is nowhere to escape.
"Give up... almost everyone in the city is hunting you now."
Xia Nuan also persuaded the robbers to surrender at the right time.
"You have chosen the wrong target to rob... No matter who you rob, you should not rob us, the night watchman."
"The entire city's police force should have been mobilized now. The two helicopters are just the basic tracking. The entire city's surveillance cameras are watching you all the time... You can't escape at all."
"The whole city is staring at us? And ma'am...what if I say...we can get this city to close its damn eyes?"
Trevor, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned around and said to Xia Nuan.
"Let this city close its eyes? Are you kidding?" Xia Nuan thought what Trevor said was a metaphor.
But when Trevor took out the device used to open the security door, Xia Nuan suddenly realized that the robber... didn't seem to be joking!
"Don't blink!"
Trevor said and directly pressed a button on the device.
Then...the most shocking scene in this bank robbery happened that shocked Xia Nuan.
The shock this scene brought to Xia Nuan far exceeded the level when the sniper in the bank accurately shattered all the bank glass.
Because Xia Nuan can imagine it and knows how many people in the night watch can achieve this level of marksmanship.
But the scene now playing out in front of Xia Nuan had never appeared in her imagination.
This city called Los Angeles is one of the most prosperous cities in America.
It is also a city that never sleeps. Looking at it from a high altitude late at night, the lights of the city streets and buildings can illuminate the entire night.
This city is a powerful proof that mankind has conquered the night!
But today... in front of Xia Nuan, this gangster just used a button to put America's most prosperous sleepless city into a deep sleep!
Big blackout!
As Xia Nuan watched, the lights on the first floor of the brightly lit high-rise buildings suddenly went out and fell into darkness.
Then the second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor...
Darkness spread like a plague in the surrounding high-rise buildings, and then spread to the entire street at an extremely fast speed, and then spread from the entire street to the entire block, all the way to most of Los Angeles!
Today's night in Los Angeles happened to be cloudy with no moonlight, so in just a few seconds, most of Los Angeles was completely swallowed up by darkness.
What these robbers said was true. The most prosperous city in the United States really closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep for them!
The only light left in the entire city is the hospital in the city.
"Welcome to this primitive steel jungle!"
While Trevor was speaking, he pressed another button on the device in his hand, and a large amount of thick smoke suddenly erupted from the box truck and the sewer manhole covers on the surrounding streets.
An entire block of streets was covered in a large amount of thick smoke. At the same time, Xia Nuan heard two gunshots, and the helicopter searchlight hovering above was accurately shattered by these two shots.
When the helicopter's searchlight was shattered, the entire neighborhood was literally swallowed up by darkness. The police car behind it could no longer find its way forward after rushing into the thick fog.
Xia Nuan looked at the surrounding environment where she couldn't even see her fingers. She couldn't imagine that she was in one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in the United States.
At this moment, a strange idea came to Xia Nuan's mind, that is, it is the city that conquers the night, not humans themselves!
Today everyone on this block once again experienced one of mankind's most primitive fears, the fear of being swallowed by darkness.
People on the street were all in a mess. They took out their mobile phones and turned on their flashlights to illuminate...
The thick smoke prevented the light of the mobile phone flashlight from spreading very far. In this dark environment, with just a little light, a group of already nervous police officers swarmed around and arrested him.
Xia Nuan no longer cares about the final outcome of this case...
Now she was really, really curious about the origins of these four robbers and the sniper.
Before Trevor caused a blackout in Los Angeles... Xia Nuan might just attribute them to well-trained and skilled... robbers.
But the fact that the power system of most of Los Angeles can be paralyzed with a single button is enough to show that the forces behind this group of robbers are by no means simple!
So now Xia Nuan just wants to know what kind of forces are behind this group of gangsters, and who is the real mastermind behind this case.
Of course, Xia Nuan couldn't directly ask Trevor and the others about such important information. She planned to use her extraordinary power in nightmares.
Since the earth is a safety-level world, any use of extraordinary powers that are lethal will result in backlash, and those that are not lethal will also suffer backlash to varying degrees.
One of the extraordinary powers that Xia Nuan controls is divination, although this ability has a full one-year cool-down period and requires a certain amount of life.
But because of her unique divination ability in the world, she won the opportunity to be an exchange student at the Minaret University.
This time Xia Nuan used this ability not to help the police, or to help Minaret University track down the murderer, but she was just...simply curious.
bring it on.
The whites of Xia Nuan's eyes were suddenly swallowed up by darkness... At the cost of sacrificing some lifespan, she activated her divination ability.
