It was still uncertain whether it was a copy. Xu Huo soon met a young couple in the ruins. The two were trying to dig out the reinforced concrete wall that was crushed to death in front of them. While digging, they said, "Don't be afraid, baby." "Save you out immediately" and "Hold on a little longer".
Xu Huo glanced at the ruins. There was indeed a child trapped inside. He looked about three or four years old. The collapsed beams just created a small space for activities. A pipe miraculously came from the place where only children could move. The place penetrated to the heights of the ruins, providing him with air.
A door was opened in the space, and Xu Huo took the child out and handed it to his parents.
The couple held the child and cried bitterly. The child cried twice and then calmed down. "Maomao is very brave and didn't cry once when we were in the house. But I didn't listen to my parents and ate a lot of snacks..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" The woman kissed his cheek and forehead repeatedly, "You can eat as much as you want from now on, mom doesn't care, as long as you live, it's good as long as you live..."
The man comforted his wife and kowtowed to Xu Huo, "Thank you for saving my child..."
The child's mother also knelt down.
Xu Huo pulled the two of them up, "Don't be like this, this kid is lucky and happened to be trapped in the canteen."
The couple mentioned this incident and felt regretful and fortunate. They ran the canteen. Before the accident, they heard the noise outside and planned to go out to take a look. The child happened to be sleeping in the room. The two didn't think much about it. As a result, shortly after they walked out, something flashed across the sky. After a few flashes of lightning, the building began to collapse. The couple was knocked unconscious on the spot. When they woke up, everything was a foregone conclusion.
"Electric light?" Xu Huo picked out this word.
"It looked like lightning to me. Anyway, it was just a flash of light." The man said, "I have a video here that someone else sent..."
The phone was out of battery when he took it out. The man quickly went to search nearby, found a temporary charger, plugged the phone in, turned it on and handed it to Xu Huo.
In the video, someone captured the scene of the building disappearing. It was like the video was skipping frames. The building that was still there one second completely disappeared the next second, leaving only a flat ground.
There are many videos like this, most of which were shot accidentally and then went viral. Behind them, there is an inexplicable flash of light in the sky, and then large buildings begin to collapse.
Horrified screams came one after another. Some videos fell into darkness before they were closed. Some were lucky enough to narrowly avoid the collapsing buildings, recording everything that happened around them with shaky cameras.
Xu Huo did not continue watching, but picked out two of the videos. In both videos, a woman wearing a black windbreaker appeared in the corner. Although it flashed past, the position where she stood was in the building. At the top, and faintly, is the range from which the bright light comes out. It can be seen that this is not an ordinary player.
As for Xue Lang, he did not appear in any videos.
Despite this, he still intuitively believed that the matter was related to Xue Lang.
But the behavior was too crude.
Judging from Dr. Zhang's past behavior, he prefers to find training targets in places that lack public attention, such as welfare homes or mental hospitals. Such places are suitable for long-term stays, and he will patiently spend a lot of time on the selected targets. .
It is inappropriate to say that Dr. Zhang does fine work and is very low-key at the same time. Every time he leaves a place, he will erase his traces and will not use such rough methods. However, everything that happened in Dingtan City obviously violates this point. .
The last time they met, Xue Lang told him clearly that he was still following Dr. Zhang. There was a desire for recognition in his words, and he snatched a large space teleportation instrument from the Card City. I wonder if it was used here. If so, If so, then he chose the target at random - I don't know if something is wrong with Dr. Zhang or with Xue Lang.
Men, women, old and young... Thinking of those people who disappeared with the building, Xu Huo's face darkened.
The couple next to him looked at him with some anxiety, "Is there anything else you need our help with?"
Xu Huo returned the phone to them and said, "Take the children and leave."
The couple thanked each other carefully before leaving quickly with their children in their arms.
Xu Huo continued to examine the sections of the collapsed building, but the ground beneath his feet began to shake at this moment. It only took a few seconds from very subtle at first to a slight numbness in the soles of his feet. A moment later, a huge explosion came from the other end of the city. Then came the alarm that sounded throughout the city:
"Alien alert! Alien alert! Everyone in the city is asked to evacuate nearby!"
"Alien alert! Alien alert! Everyone in the city is asked to evacuate nearby!"
…
The sirens kept echoing, and those scattered in the ruins area also panicked. Due to the limited field of vision, they did not know which direction the alien species came from. After looking to no avail, they could only run in the direction where the previous army had evacuated!
Xu Huo crossed the ruins and came to the due east of the city. This direction happened to be the half of the city that was preserved in Dingtan City. The subsequent evacuations were also arranged here. The army, armed police and government personnel had already placed people in the subdivisions. The sudden aliens The alarm completely disrupted the situation that had just settled down.
The alien swarm is still some distance away from the city, but the security personnel only need to stand at a high place to see at a glance the black mass of alien swarm running at great speed from the foot of the mountain in the distance. The distance between Tan City and Tan City has become much closer.
The army has dispatched teams in advance to attack, hoping to buy time for the city. However, they are equipped with conventional weapons, which are far from the level of nuclear weapons and cannot cause large-scale destruction. Therefore, they can only go out with enough people and vehicles. Use regular shells and bullets in large quantities and at relatively short ranges to increase the lethality.
But the effect is not ideal. Firstly, the aliens move quickly and have the ability to avoid cannonballs. Secondly, even if they are hit by cannonballs or bullets, the aliens may not die, especially some of them with hardened skin or specially mutated bones. Even a single round of bullets might be just a superficial wound.
Therefore, the army's consumption was huge, but the number of aliens killed was very small.
This kind of scene is not uncommon in Area 017. In the face of alien species, ordinary weapons have little advantage. The reason why military personnel rush forward at the expense of themselves is just to give ordinary people a chance to hide - escaping from the city is absolutely impossible. Impossible, they can only hope that the building is strong enough.
Soon, the alien swarm swamped the convoy, and the sound of shooting, screams, and the heart-wrenching sound of metal being destroyed converged into a short mournful sound, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
