The field of view at high altitude is wider, and you can clearly see the full picture of the explosion not far away.
In the factory area where the explosion occurred, mushroom-like red and orange flames rose rapidly, mixed with wisps of black smoke.
Small-scale flash explosions continued, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky. The entire factory area was almost like a match with the end of the explosive being lit. The cylindrical jars not far away are more like bread baked and cooked in the fire.
In the rising heat of the flames, the volume of the cylinder seen by the human eye varies from time to time, and the outline is slightly distorted, as if it is constantly expanding, contracting and bouncing.
Perhaps it was Lang Hua's illusion, but he always felt that the oil cans were like real bread, gradually fluffing and swelling as they were heated.
In the end, will they be like incompletely fermented toast, with the skin burnt and the contents breaking through the explosion barrier, turning into "flowering steamed buns" one by one?
No one can say clearly when this final moment will come!
You must know that what is in the tank is not the tempting bean paste gluten, but the ultra-high temperature chemical oil that kills people!
The situation is urgent and extremely critical!
In the hustle and bustle of everyone, Lang Hua fell back to the ground
This time he did not completely copy Duan Hei's flying method.
Lang Hua relied on the abilities of "Feng Cheng" and "Feng Ying" to use the cantilevered balconies of each high-rise building as stairs to climb up to gain a higher view, and then he got the first-hand information he wanted to observe with his own eyes.
Before landing, he glanced at the crowd from a distance. The survivors on the rooftop there were making a lot of noise and chaos, which made him couldn't help but frown even more.
What a bunch of rabble...
"elder brother."
"Xiaohua."
"Brother Lang Hua."
Several people asked in unison: "How is the situation?"
"It's not optimistic." Lang Hua shook his head. "The situation is worse than Uncle Lin expected. The black smoke in the factory area is thick, but the flames are stronger, and there are flash explosions."
He judged: "The continuous reforming equipment of this petrochemical plant must have malfunctioned, and the explosion was the pre-hydrogenation unit. Several oil storage tanks were also in the fire. There is no telling when they will explode!"
"What? What exploded was hydrogen? Its combustion value is more than three times that of gasoline!" Zhou Jin took a breath of cold air.
"Once the combustion limit is reached in a sealed container, if the oil storage tank explodes in this environment, it will be no less powerful than a giant bomb."
Lin Wenjin felt his throat was dry: "So once the explosion started, it would only become more violent."
"I have known this factory and its joint aromatics production line for many years." Yang Bensheng had worked here many times in the past few years and knew a lot about the real situation.
"In this kind of state-owned factory, there are usually at least a lot of hidden dangers reflected in inspections. After the 'Advent Day', the equipment continues to operate without care, and sooner or later it will break down. I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
"Xiaohua, what should everyone do now?" Lin Qian looked at the team of 30 people and suddenly became a little anxious, "Doctor Zhou said that the corpses will soon surround this place!"
"What he said is right," Lang Hua said, eliminating everyone's last chance. "This is not a suburban area. The number of black corpses hidden in the buildings may exceed your imagination."
The greater the external stimulus, the more black corpses are attracted to break out of the window, and the more black corpses people have to face.
Lang Hua has always been arranging and scheduling the team's travel route and all matters, and sometimes even does it himself.
In addition, Lang Hua showed his strongest strength during the rescue of Haiping. For these ordinary survivors, his words are undoubtedly more authoritative.
Of course, when announcing or confirming "bad news", people hope that what he says is not credible.
But you can’t even deceive yourself by cheating...
"What to do? The corpses are coming!"
The girl who had been frightened and screamed before was now too frightened to cry.
Her boyfriend was also at a loss: "Here, let's run."
"Why are you running? You might as well fight them! Didn't you kill more than a hundred black corpses before?" The middle-aged man holding the gun had trembling hands.
"Are you kidding me? This time it's thousands. If you want to die, don't drag me with you!" the people around him immediately retorted.
"Everyone be quiet!"
Lao Wang from the hospital slammed his gun on the ground: "If you run around, no one will survive!"
He turned to Lang Hua for instructions: "Brother Lang, which direction should we... move to? If we don't move, we won't be able to leave..."
Even though he has lived so long and has experienced so much, his voice can't help but tremble.
"Leave the explosion area first." Lang Hua gritted his teeth. "Dr. Zhou, do you have any nearby sparsely populated areas marked on the map of your communicator?"
"There are few people? There are residential areas everywhere." Zhou Jin sweated on his forehead and hurriedly lowered his head and swiped his fingers to check.
Suddenly he said excitedly: "Yes, north-west direction! As long as we pass through three blocks and shops, we will be a citizen activity center. This direction will definitely have the least number of black corpses!"
"This place deviates from our planned route!" Lin Wenjin looked up at the others.
"We'll talk about it later. Escape first!" Lang Hua pulled out the Mo Dao from his back. "Everyone, follow me and retreat along the tangent of the explosion circle. Stay away from the explosion area first!"
Yang Bensheng shouted to everyone: "Follow closely this time! People with abilities and those equipped with silencers take priority. Keep the speed. Others are not allowed to shoot and kill the black corpses unless they have a last resort."
He added: "No one is allowed to stop and collect loot! Take care of yourself and don't try to save anyone around you!"
Lang Hua finally said: "If you fall behind, you will die. No one can save you!"
"Uncle Yang, come to the center. Leave the front to me first. Doctor Zhou, come and help me!"
He took Mo Dao into his hand and finally looked at them:
"Set off!"
Section 2
The explosions continued and became more intense just as Lang Hua predicted.
Every immersive loud noise seems to make people feel that this is the loudest one.
And when the next explosion comes, this record will continue to be refreshed.
The group of people did not blindly escape from the factory area where the explosion occurred in the radius direction - that would only make them plunge into the incoming corpses.
They chose the route of least pressure and tried not to deviate from the general direction of their escape to the west.
But the price of doing so is that it will still be troubled by concurrent disasters after the explosion in a short period of time.
Whether it is the incoming loud noise, air waves, or various debris falling from high altitude, it has greatly affected the passing efficiency of ordinary evolvers.
Although the final victory can be achieved by walking through the neighborhood, such a nightmare scene, like an earthquake, makes people worry about the possibility of a "subsidence" disaster or the collapse of a high-rise building.
The sense of crisis is indeed the most powerful stimulant in a desperate situation. In the blink of an eye, a block was passed through by the team without any danger.
After the dizziness subsided, Xiao Heizi insisted on hovering in the air to help the team scout and guide everyone.
Previous injuries greatly reduced his flying height and flexibility. In just a few minutes, he had already received cuts on his shoulders and back from several different falling debris.
The blood was stained on the T-shirt, and when the wind blew, the entire upper body became cold.
The impact of each air wave was large or small, making his flight shaky and unstable.
But he endured those wounds without saying a word, let alone these disturbances.
Suddenly, Duan Hei shouted: "In front! The black corpse appears!"
"And left and right, so many! There's more to come!"
By the end of the sentence, he almost broke into a cold sweat.
Maybe he can leave safely with the help of "Feng Cheng" ability, but what about his sister? And Brother Lang Hua, Sister Xiaoxiao and the others...
But with Duan Hei's current ability level, carrying his own body weight is already the limit!
The ability to evolve is not a miracle or magic, how can it completely violate the basic laws?
He has not yet evolved into an ability user, and he is not old enough.
"Xiaohua, what should I do?"
At the front of the team, Lin Wenjin asked Lang Hua while running.
The black corpses are about to form an encirclement, and they must decide the direction of their next breakthrough as soon as possible!
"What should we do? Of course we forced a breakthrough!" Lang Hua deliberately slowed down a little so that the forward and the middle of the team would fit more closely without having to separate into two parts.
According to Duan Hei's report, there are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back. Apart from breaking through in the established direction, is there any better option?
He must trust his careful judgment.
Moreover, as the leader at this time, even a moment's hesitation will cause chaos in his own position!
Lang Hua took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen up, take out your weapons and prepare to contact the corpses!"
After finishing speaking, not far in front of the team, black corpses gradually poured out in twos and threes from the corner of the street.
Three, six, ten, a hundred!
The corpses were crowded together, like villagers coming to visit a temple fair, and they crowded the whole street.
The tattered clothes fluttered in the wind, and the smell of decaying corpses spread far away.
The pale face was covered in blood, and the black corpse's walking style was uncoordinated and twisted. The monster is so close that you can almost see the sharp teeth and saliva in its mouth.
Several people in the team had weak legs and stumbled, causing the formation to suddenly become chaotic.
The companion next to them wanted to stop and give him a hand, but Haiping sternly said: "Don't stop! Follow and take care of yourself!"
And he followed the team at the end, and when passing there, he reached out and pulled several people up.
"Thank you...thank you."
Hai Ping glared at the other person: "Follow me quickly. You don't have such good luck every time!"
Yang Bensheng warned at this time: "Tighten the formation!"
He had to be anxious. In order to ensure the running speed, the people in the middle of the team were loose and not compact enough, which exposed the area to be too large!
Even if they, the couple, Lin Qian and Xiaoxiao, the four ability users, were in the middle of the team, they wouldn't be able to protect everyone!
In their team, there is no shortage of people with the ability to fight alone among the corpses, but they only lack talents who can stand alone in "team battles".
"Aunt Ping, Sister Qian!"
Following Lang Hua's shout, the two of them moved forward to activate their abilities.
"Ice shield!" "Hegemony!"
In Li Liping's eyes, a pink light flashed away. Soon in front of Lin Qian, a few strange ripples appeared in the space, and a giant ice wall more than three meters wide appeared out of thin air.
Lin Qian used the momentum of her continued running to grab a thick edge of the ice wall - a handle-like part.
"Bah!" she shouted.
At this moment, Lin Qian's waist force drove her whole body to spin, and she actually flattened this "Big Mac" like a flying pancake!
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this "ice wall" only has a thin layer!
The ice wall was produced by Li Liping's "Ice Clear Lotus" ability. The high-pressure ice crystals had sharp edges and extremely high hardness. Now they followed a parabolic trajectory and "pierced" horizontally into the group of black corpses.
The front row of black corpses had their necks cut off and their bodies separated immediately, while the black corpses behind were also knocked down one after another. The entire group of corpses suddenly fell on their backs.
This is the new tactic that Lin Qian and Li Liping had discussed before: "Ice Blade Sweep". It was to temporarily replace the group-wide attack skills during the vacuum period before Yang Bensheng's water-based abilities were fully developed.
Who says ice shields can only be used for defense?
With "Hegemony" at his side, even sandbags and wooden boards can kill the enemy, let alone the powerful and heavy high-pressure ice layer?
If "Ice Blade Sweep" hadn't only been used once, it would have been like an enlarged version of the battle ax Lin Qian was carrying behind her!
The two men retreated immediately after the battle and returned to their respective posts in the middle of the team.
But Li Liping shouted at this time: "Broken!"
The high-pressure ice crystal layer on the ground exploded with a sudden sound, and countless fragments scattered like shotguns. It had a full repelling effect, and another group of black corpses were immediately knocked down.
