Chapter 112 The monster attacked the city, and the torrential rain came
It was a sunny day, and a cruise ship was parked at the port of Xihai City. The hull of the ship was badly worn, as if it had just experienced a storm.
Unused containers are piled on the docks, like packages stranded on shipping lines.
The manager of Xinghuo Group negotiated with the construction team leader and looked unhappy:
"Will it be parked for three more days? Can't we speed up the repair progress?"
The man wearing a safety helmet said disdainfully: "Look, where is the manpower now? The monster incident is so big that all the laborers have already run away! Being able to find someone to repair your ship is enough to give you face!"
The manager thought, you are obviously raising the price from the ground up.
The words didn't make sense, so I had to turn around and return to the deck.
There was a large, dazzling hole on the deck. Looking at the hole, the manager's eyelids jumped. It was actually made by a human body.
Come to think of it, the physiques of some monsters are far inferior to the man in front of me!
The manager looked in awe, rubbed his hands, and looked at the man in sunglasses who was lying on his back on the sun lounger, holding a photo album of a beautiful woman in his hand, and he was making plans in his heart.
"Speak quickly if you have anything to say." Brahma Shatian was appreciating the portrait, his tone was lazy, revealing his undeniable majesty.
The manager worded his words carefully: "Well, Mr. Fanshatian, the cruise ship was seriously damaged and we have to stay in the Golden State for three days... On behalf of the Spark Group, I would like to deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you..."
"There's no need to talk nonsense."
Fanshatian spread the photo on his chest, lowered his sunglasses, revealing a pair of fierce and cunning eyes:
"In these three days, I can get off the ship and move around freely, and it doesn't count as part of the eighty-day itinerary, right?"
"Of course, no problem! You're welcome!" The manager straightened his back, paused, and suggested: "Please allow me to remind you that the Golden State is not safe recently. S-class monsters are running rampant. After three days, we will set off immediately.
Bar……"
The S-class monsters from the deep sea have caused a lot of panic in Xihai City. Even though there are national warriors stationed in Xihai City, a large number of citizens still flee. The entire Xihai City is like a restless ant nest before a heavy rain.
"S-class monsters are still secondary." Fanshatian said lazily, "Everyone is more afraid of sea monsters!"
Hearing this, the manager nodded.
That giant killer crab reminds citizens of the "sea monster" that ravaged the Golden State more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, Theseus, the "sea monster" that ravaged the Golden State, was like the mythical nine-headed sea serpent, possessing the ability to be almost "immortal".
At that time, Lietel, a federal soldier who was good at wielding a saber, killed Theseus's three sea snake-like heads with one blow.
Just as people were rejoicing, the remaining six heads hidden under the sea suddenly launched an attack and seriously injured Litair. People were horrified to find that the monster of the sea actually had nine huge heads. Even if one was cut off, the broken head would still be damaged.
It will grow immediately.
When the world was in despair, Lytell sacrificed his life and rushed towards Theseus, swung his saber, burst into flames as bright as the sun, and sank into the sea together with the sea monster.
While traveling around the Golden State, the manager had talked to Fan Shatian about this matter many times, and at this moment he couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a pity that Lytell is no longer here, otherwise there is no need to worry even if Theseus comes back."
"I heard that Litair has a son." Brahmashatian suddenly gossiped.
The manager replied: "This...I don't know, it seems to be true, and Littell's son seems to have also ignited the fire..."
"I am a hero, I hope my son is not a coward."
Fanshatian grinned, jumped off the beach chair, put one hand in his pocket, and waved with his back:
"I'm going to Xihai City for a walk. I'll be back soon!"
*
At 10 a.m., the flight arrived in Xihai City.
Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna walked out of the airport. The iron-gray sky was covered with clouds, and the air was moist. Pedestrians seemed to have a premonition of an approaching rainstorm, and their footsteps were hurried.
"It was fine in the morning, but now everything has changed." Lin Xiao raised his head.
"Let's find a place first and wait for the raven to come." Jolina glanced at the message and said, "He seems to have something to explain to us."
"Wait a moment." Lin Xiao lowered his head and took out his phone, opening the chat interface of True Lord Golden Dragon.
The last message was sent before boarding the flight.
"Epee Man: "Zhenjun, where will we meet in the afternoon?"
"Jinlong Zhenjun: "About four o'clock, in the square near the Xihai Beach. I will stay here temporarily."
"Jinlong Zhenjun: "You're here. It's probably dinner time. We can go have a seafood dinner. (Grinds teeth and smiles)"
"Epee Man: Thank you for your hard work in killing the monsters, I'll invite you this time. (Leopard Smile·Jpg)"
"Jinlong Zhenjun: "This... it's a long story. I'll explain it to you in person!"
The interview time is at 4 p.m., so there is no need to rush there. Once you have settled down for the trip, it is not too late to drive to the Xihai Beach on your motorcycle.
The meeting place agreed with Brother Chu Yun was located in a commercial center a few kilometers away from the airport. The headquarters of the investigation team of Xihai City was set up there, and it was in the same direction as the Xihai Beach.
Lin Xiao thought, strange... What does Zhenjun want to explain? You should know it later...
"Go to the commercial center first and wait for the raven." Lin Xiao put his phone back.
"If you take the elevated route, the journey will take about half an hour... Do you have a vehicle card?" Jolina asked.
"There is only one single-person motorcycle." Lin Xiao said.
"Well...I've prepared in advance."
The girl with a high ponytail condensed a vehicle card between her fingers, injected it with a source of power like golden flames, and threw the card towards the parking space.
The light particles were condensed and formed into a sports car painted in dark red. The two long and narrow lights on the front of the car flashed.
The car logo is a pair of flying wings, derived from Aston Martin, a long-established automobile manufacturer in Rongguang.
"Get in the car."
The model is not as ostentatious as the red Ferrari, but has the gentlemanly and restrained look of a glorious country.
The muscle memory provided by "Vehicle Control" made Lin Xiao eager to try: "Do you need a driver?"
Jolina hesitated for a moment. She was indeed better at driving a motorcycle. She nodded and said, "If you can, please."
Lin Xiao opened the front door, sat in the driver's seat, looked forward, his profile was strong, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Fasten your seat belts, we need to hurry!"
Jolina suddenly felt a trace of regret, put her arms on the car door, and said in a low voice: "It's really not because you want to race..."
Lin Xiao didn't answer. He held the palm of the steering wheel and put his fingers on it one by one.
The ability of "vehicle control" is not a simple driving ability, but more like a kind of "assimilation", making the vehicle a part of oneself.
Therefore, even if it is a vehicle card that does not have driving authority, under the influence of this ability, Lin Xiao can still obtain driving authority.
The instrument panel lit up with a blue light, and the turbine engine roared, but there was no roar or vibration in the car. Suddenly, the Aston Martin ejected and started.
Jolina's red eyes widened, and she truly felt the "pushing feeling" praised by vehicle card evaluators, but it only lasted for a moment, and the sports car began to accelerate linearly at a reassuring speed.
There is only one question mark left in Jolinna's mind.
I clearly didn't give him the key, nor did I have a voiceprint to unlock it... How did he start the vehicle?
After glancing at Lin Xiao who was attentive, she didn't ask any further questions, thinking that his driving skills were indeed pretty good...
While thinking, the luxury sports car suddenly accelerated and rushed onto the viaduct. The sky in Xihai City became increasingly gloomy, and the lead-colored clouds continued to encroach on the surroundings, as if a huge iron curtain shrouded the sky over Xihai City. Water vapor was thick, and light rain splashed down, splashing on the sky.
On the windshield window.
"It's raining." Jolina frowned slightly.
Xihai City is a coastal port city. Once the water level rises, monsters such as deep divers often invade the city.
The current Xihai City has just experienced an S-class monster siege. It is under the shadow of the "sea monster" and people's hearts are in turmoil.
Raining at this juncture is not good news...
Lin Xiao turned on the wipers, and the two wipers slowly wiped away the large rain marks. The repeated process was very quiet, unlike Chu Yun's black car, where the wipers would make a tooth-aching squeaking sound.
"It looks like it's going to be a heavy rain."
Lin Xiao was a little worried about meeting Zhenjun later. This was not a good weather for going out, especially when the motorcycle did not have rain protection function.
But showers are very common in summer, and the rain may stop naturally by the afternoon. It is more important to meet Brother Chu Yun now.
"We're about to reach our destination." After driving off the viaduct, Lin Xiao glanced out the car window, "Stop at the commercial plaza. Let's walk to a nearby coffee shop."
"Um."
When the car stopped, Jolina took off her seat belt, got out of the car door, took a deep breath of air, and looked up at the sky shrouded in gray clouds.
She remembered this kind of air. It was foggy and rained all year round, and there was a smell of rust and the depressing uneasiness of a big factory in the air.
But there is something different. This depression comes from the air currents on the sea. Cyclones hundreds of kilometers away form hurricanes, vibrating the air, and transmitting this uneasiness all the way here.
"The typhoon is coming..."
Jolina said softly: "Here in the Golden State, they call it a hurricane."
A black umbrella screen came into view. Jolina turned her head and saw a man holding a black umbrella, standing side by side with her.
"Every typhoon day, I would hide in the house, close the windows tightly, and listen to the strong wind vibrating the windows. The more violent the vibrations, the calmer my heart becomes... I feel like I have been abandoned by the world, with only one house left."
Lin Xiao said slowly.
"sense of security?"
"Well, the more severe the typhoon is, the stronger my sense of security becomes...as if I am outside the matter." Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, "But now it seems that we must break into the typhoon."
Jolina lowered her head and sighed: "Is this part of what you call 'special training'?"
Lin Xiaogang wanted to say that if you find it difficult, you can stop the special training and wait until the heavy rain passes before officially starting it.
But his eyes were attracted by the figure walking in the heavy rain.
His attire was quite abrupt, he was only 1.5 meters tall, wearing a gray-white hood, with his hands in his gray-white trouser pockets, but he was carrying a giant blade about the same length as others.
The blade is wide, the blade is sharp, and it cuts in a circular motion, as if it can cut a tall horse in half.
But with the young man's height of 1.5 meters, it is difficult to imagine him wielding this sword.
The young man looked indifferently, wore a hood, and passed by Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao turned around and looked back, remembering that it was the direction of the West Sea Beach, and it was also the meeting place agreed with Jin Long Zhenjun.
"Hey, kid!" Lin Xiao shouted, "A heavy rain is coming, and the beach is very dangerous!"
Qiao Linna was a little shocked and glanced at Lin Xiao.
Although he is small, he probably carries such a big knife to warn others.
If you call someone a kid when you open your mouth, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you are ‘accurately stepping on thunder’!
Sure enough, the young man stopped and turned to look at Lin Xiao, revealing a pair of cold and hard eyes.
"No trouble."
After saying that, the young man continued walking. Lin Xiao became more and more sure that he was heading to the beach and continued to call him.
"What are you going to the beach for? Do you want a ride?"
There was no response, and the hooded boy looked like a solitary wolf cub, with the flames of hatred burning in his eyes.
Go to the seaside... and meet Theseus.
Then.
Alger clenched his palms, and the scene of his father waving his saber and sinking into the sea with Theseus appeared in front of his eyes. He gritted his teeth hard, as if he was about to crack his teeth.
Take revenge with your own hands.
…
Branch-like lightning flashed in the clouds, thunder boomed, and the rain became more rapid, as if the reservoir had opened its gates and thousands of tons of rainwater were pouring down.
The sky was completely dark, the commercial street was deserted, and the rain curtains on the windows were dim. In the coffee shop, the three of them looked out the window worriedly.
"Before I came here, I didn't expect it to rain so hard," Lin Xiao said.
"The Meteorological Bureau has issued a notice. It is a super typhoon with level 12 or above." Qiao Linna said.
The thunder shook the bone china cup and saucer. Chu Yun frowned and whispered:
"I'm worried that the typhoon is not caused by a tropical cyclone... but caused by the activities of monsters..."
Jolina's red eyes flashed slightly: "You mean, the monster of the sea, Theseus?"
Chu Yun shook his head.
"I don't know...but, Lin Xiao." He looked over.
"What's wrong?"
"The team leader instructed that our team's work in the Golden State is under your full command." There was a hint of fatigue in Chu Yun's voice, "No matter what, ensuring your own safety is the most important thing."
Lin Xiao nodded: "Understand the optimistic thinking, maybe it's just an ordinary typhoon?"
Crack!
A thick thunderbolt fell directly on the open space in front of the coffee house. The indoor lights went out temporarily, and then came on again. The three of them looked at the open space and saw the masonry shattering and pieces bursting out.
Qiao Linna and Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao silently.
"Okay... this is indeed not ordinary at all." Lin Xiao scratched his head.
"Are you still going to meet netizens?" Qiao Linna looked over.
"Meeting netizens?" Chu Yun said in a surprised tone, "At this time?"
Lin Xiao coughed lightly: "I'm still thinking..."
He lowered his head and looked at his phone. The chat interface was frozen on the last message he sent.
The content is roughly that because the weather is bad, we are considering meeting again another day.
The message was sent an hour ago, and Zhenjun has not replied yet... Lin Xiao is a little undecided.
This kind of heavy rain is nothing to a seventh-level national warrior, and Zhenjun's itinerary cannot be easily changed...
If Zhenjun didn't reply until the end, Lin Xiao decided to rush to meet him in the rain.
"Hey, you haven't explained yet what's going on with the netizens," Chu Yun said.
"He is a senior who has given me a lot of help." Lin Xiao said, "So, if he doesn't take the initiative to reschedule, I still need to meet him."
"Okay..." Chu Yun nodded: "Pay attention to safety."
You can't go out on a rainy day, so you might as well stay in the coffee shop and wait for Lin Xiao to come back.
After another half hour, Lin Xiao glanced at his cell phone, which had no message, and stood up: "I have to go... try to come back as early as possible."
"Do I want to lend you the vehicle card?" Jolina asked.
"No, I'll ride a motorcycle there, it's faster."
The heavy rain swallowed up the entire city. In the torrential rain, Lin Xiao put on a motorcycle helmet and a protective suit automatically appeared on the outside of his body. He drove a heavy motorcycle and nodded to the two people inside the glass window.
The locomotive roared like a ferocious steel beast, its wheels splashed water, and its body split through the rain curtain as it sped toward the west of the city.
[Insert emergency warning and traffic information.]
Jolina looked thoughtfully, looked up, and looked up at the hanging TV in the coffee shop.
[Affected by the sudden heavy rain, Xihai City’s port, elevated highway, and various scenic spots have been closed urgently. Citizens are requested to take protective measures in time and avoid going out...]
This is a report for ordinary citizens, and at the same time, the Card Artists Association also issued an emergency report for card artists.
"A large number of monsters have appeared along the coast of Xihai City! A swarm of deep divers is marching towards the city. All units are requested to destroy the swarm of monsters that have broken into the city at all costs!"
The coast of Xihai City has become a hell on earth, with violent winds and rain sweeping across the coast, buildings collapsing, and people screaming.
The dense crowd of fish crawled out of the sea, and under the leadership of the deep diver, they continued to break through the investigation team's blockade.
"Region 3 requests support!!"
"A deep diver appeared in Area 7 to lead the rescuers. He is a Class A deep diver!"
"I can't stand it any longer. The battle lines are shrinking towards the city. This is a monster siege!!"
The heavy rain splashed onto True Lord Golden Dragon's lenses. Looking at the tragic scene, he was shaking all over, breathing rapidly, and his eyes were red. Oracle bone characters flashed in front of his eyes like lightning, and there was an indescribable indignation in his chest.
Should I do something?
But there was nothing I could do. I could only watch helplessly as the group of deep divers broke into Xihai City!
boom!!
The sky exploded with thunder.
Big waves rolled on the sea, the sky was as dark as ink, and branch-shaped lightning danced like silver snakes, reflecting the tens of thousands of feet high waves.
In the big waves, three huge sea snake heads appeared, screaming into the sky, and pale thunder and lightning illuminated the pale faces of everyone.
