After finally getting rid of the Dragon Cavalry General, Zhou Jinru spent a lot of effort to rush back to the rented apartment. He also observed outside for half an hour to make sure there was no ambush before walking over.
As soon as he entered the doorway, he heard a burst of crying and found Karl's wife covering her face and crying, while Karl was also sitting by the door, smoking one cigarette after another, with his eyes bright red, as if he hadn't seen her for days and nights. Close your eyes.
Zhou Jinru knew that there was a lot of chaos outside today, so he didn't say much. He went straight upstairs and found that William and others had not returned.
"Someone has entered the room."
Zhou Jinru noticed that the warning trap set by Kelxi had been triggered. It seemed that the place was not as peaceful as it seemed.
A man sat by the bed, recalling what happened during the day, walked to the old radio and pressed the button, and the city broadcast came from inside.
There were seventeen fires in Londinium today, most of which have been rescued, and some are still being rescued. Accidents occurred in many areas and there were casualties.
Zhou Jinru was listening to the news when someone knocked on the door. He walked over and found Mr. August standing outside the door.
The old man was dressed in a black formal suit as always. Even in snowy weather, he had to wear a tie and a pair of black leather shoes.
"Mr. Four, you are finally back."
"Well, please come in."
Zhou Jinru stepped aside, but August did not move. The old man just stood at the door and looked at him, and said calmly: "I saw you coming back from the window. A lot of things happened today. Our landlord faced a He may turn to you for help with problems he cannot solve.”
It turned out that August came to remind him. Zhou Jinru thanked him: "Thank you, I will pay attention to it, but what problem did Mr. Karl encounter?"
The old man pursed his thin lips, adjusted his glasses, and lowered his voice: "It is now after six o'clock in the evening. Four hours ago, someone tried to agitate the students at the Londinium City Public University. The young people were excited and excited. People at the police station clashed, and more than a dozen college students were arrested by the city guard who arrived afterwards, including the landlord Carl’s eldest son.”
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He neither went to the city public university nor hinted to William that with Kelsey's intelligence, he would never touch those students. In other words, there was someone else who instigated those students.
But it's too late to say this now. The fact is that Karl's son was taken away, and his wife should be crying because of this.
"This is not good news."
Zhou Jinru shook his head. He didn't think about what to do for a while.
August nodded and turned to leave. The old man took two steps, stopped, and said: "Mr. Fourth, my wife and I have decided to leave here and leave this country. In the south of this land, there is a city called Xisi." A new city in the tower, where the weather is like spring all year round and the climate is warm, it will be great for seniors like us.”
"It's really nice there and I like it very much."
After sending August away, Zhou Jinru closed the door, thought about it for a while, and decided to go downstairs to find Karl, but found that Karl and his wife were not at home, and only the little girl Luo Shan stayed in the basement.
"Mr. Four!"
Luo Shan finally stopped calling him uncle. Zhou Jinru smiled, squatted on the ground and asked, "Where is little Luo Shan's doll?"
"The doll is gone again. Maybe the little fairy borrowed it."
The little girl was convinced of the story Zhou Jinru had told before. She shook her little body and stepped forward to hug Zhou Jinru.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard from dad that Mr. Fourth is a good man, a good man who is willing to help us."
Zhou Jinru was dumbfounded: "Actually, I didn't do anything."
Luo Shan said a lot of words in one breath, and fear kept weighing in her heart: "Mr. Fourth, this afternoon, a very scary person came to the house. My father and mother were very scared, and my brother didn't come back."
"Have you seen them?"
Zhou Jinru tried to use emotional guidance to calm the fear in Luo Shan's heart.
Luo Shan nodded, then shook her head: "I don't know who they are, but there is one person I have seen, that is, the man wearing a high hat."
Huron.
It seems that after arresting Carl's eldest son, Huront brought people here, and probably said some threatening words, which scared the Carls and his wife into confusion.
Zhou Jinru knew how powerful a person holding a public official's speech would be in intimidating civilians, so it was understandable why Karl was abnormal.
"What did they do?"
"I don't know, but they walked around the house and everyone was scared."
Zhou Jinru comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry now, go back to the room quickly, uncle still has some things to deal with."
He put his hand on Roshan's back, half-pushed Roshan back to the room, closed the door again, and exhaled a breath of hot breath.
A mocking voice came from behind: "I didn't expect you to have such a tender side."
Zhou Jinru turned around, and the dragon knight with long orange-red hair blocked the entrance to the basement. It was obvious that she had been standing there for a while.
If Dragon Rider General Sylvia is sure to cause trouble for Zhou Jinru, she will definitely come to the apartment to check the situation. Zhou Jinru knew that this would be the result, so he did not choose to avoid it.
"Sylvia, do you know who I am?"
"Oh, I'm really curious about you for being able to control that idiot Huron."
The dragon knight grinned, his sharp white teeth letting out a deep chill.
Zhou Jinru had no doubt that her curiosity included poking several transparent holes in him with a spear.
"Are you sure you want to take action here?"
He walked quietly to the other side of the long wooden table.
Sylvia crossed her arms and sneered: "I am a soldier. There are casualty quotas in the army every year. I don't mind a few civilians dying."
Intimidation was of no use to him. The dragon rider was talking about casualty indicators, but she stood still and had no intention of taking action immediately. Her emotions did not fluctuate violently, which could not deceive Zhou Jinru.
"Sylvia, you are Victoria's Dragon Rider and the guardian of Londinium. I have a question to ask, who is your allegiance to?"
It’s a cliché, but especially for Victorians, it works wonders.
Sylvia took a step forward, pressed her right hand with a glove on the dining table, and snorted: "Is this your trick?!"
The dining table fell into pieces in an instant, and sawdust flew everywhere.
The Dragon Rider raised his leg and kicked a chair in front of him away, and the furniture was torn apart by the terrifying force in the air.
"Show me your skills and show me how you can fool the Victorian soldiers!"
This woman's race was probably a fantasy species, and her resistance was extremely high. Zhou Jinru was very alert and did not dare to be careless at all.
Even though he has the power of a defender, he cannot underestimate the world.
Each country has its own secret weapon. Sammy has the Ice and Snow Sacrifice, Ursus has the Emperor's Blade, Sargon has the Immortal Army, and Yanguo has the Imperial Guard. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
In the game plot, Wei Yanwu's Black Caps massacred the Yeti team, and used one-for-one as a threat to force the young guards back. It can be imagined that they are powerful.
Victoria's steam mecha was just the tip of the iceberg, and the dragon-riding general who appeared in front of Zhou Jinru was the secret hidden under the deep water, and he was not allowed to be careless.
"I don't want to hurt civilians, don't do anything here, Sylvia, if your allegiance is to the king, you are betraying your loyalty!"
Suddenly, the scene in front of him became extremely slow. Zhou Jinru strode forward. Every time he took a step, invisible waves spread to both sides.
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Dragon Rider General. With his right leg as the center of the circle, he quickly spun in a circle. He saw the man in front of him like a ferocious beast, hitting the left side of his body, and then rushed out of the basement.
What a speed!
Sylvia was staggered by the impact, and her back hit the wall. The wall clock hanging on the edge of the wall fell to her feet, and the glass shattered.
Zhou Jinru came to the main hall in an instant and felt a strong wind blowing from his back. Without thinking, he immediately jumped up, spread his arms like a big bird spreading its wings, and landed on the bar with his feet.
The dragon cavalry general was holding a half-short spear, and his thrust forward missed, but the power was not reduced, and he directly smashed the door of the bathroom opposite. Fortunately, there was no one inside, otherwise there would have been casualties.
Zhou Jinru knew that he couldn't fight her here. He couldn't do his best, but the Dragon Rider General could.
"Sylvia! I told you, don't hurt civilians!"
"hypocritical!"
Zhou Jinru's eyes are getting colder. He has changed a lot recently. Once he enters the fighting state, he seems to be a different person and no longer has emotions. Reason tells him that to achieve the best victory, there is no need to care about sacrifice.
Just when the dragon knight general opened his mouth, Zhou Jinru kicked away the kettle placed on the bar, flew forward and punched the enemy.
Under normal circumstances, his speed was a little slower than that of the Dragon Rider. Sylvia sidestepped and pierced the man's back with the short spear she held tightly in her right hand.
When the tip of the spear touched the opponent's body, a shimmer of light rippled out, and a string of sparks burst out. She stabbed with all her strength, but failed to achieve any results.
Suddenly, Sylvia's vision went dark, she fell into dizziness, and the bridge of her nose suffered severe pain. She knew she had been hit.
When the ability to move was restored, the dragon knight would release the Origin Stone skill without hesitation, hold the short spear with both hands, and stab forward suddenly. It seemed like an ordinary thrust, but it was extremely fast, even if Zhou Jinru was subjective In a slow state, it still feels difficult to dodge.
But!
The Dragon Rider General thrust more than once!
Her shooting speed was beyond imagination. In a very short period of time, she stabbed three times in a row, hitting the same spot every time!
Zhou Jinru was shocked and was stabbed in the chest continuously by Sylvia. If it weren't for the rigid shield protecting his body, he would have died.
Even though the sharp short spear was blocked and the power of the Origin Stone skills was greatly reduced, part of it still fell on him.
Zhou Jinru was seen flying backwards, collapsing a wall, and was buried under bricks and stones.
Cough cough cough!
Zhou Jinru coughed violently several times and breathed heavily to relieve the pain in his chest. He could feel the crazy secretion of adrenaline, the pain was quickly relieved, and he was extremely focused.
There was a lot of people in the apartment who couldn't do anything, but even so, General Dragon Rider gave him a big "surprise"!
"She didn't catch up. The continuous thrusts consume a lot of energy, and the fantasy species also needs time to recover."
Zhou Jinru found himself lying in the storage room of the apartment. There were not only food but also some daily necessities. It seemed that Karl had the habit of being a hamster.
Drip, drip, drip...
The sound of beeping came from nowhere. Zhou Jinru frowned and looked in the direction of the sound. He accidentally discovered little Luoshan's doll. He didn't know how she ended up here.
"What's this?"
He crawled over on his hands and knees and saw a timer with a flashing red dot placed in the pile of goods. If he hadn't looked for it deliberately, he might not have found it.
Zhou Jinru's heart skipped a beat, and something emerged in his heart: a time bomb.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind: why was there a time bomb in the storage room of Carl's house, who would do it, and what was the purpose of doing it.
Can't leave this thing here!
There were many people living in the apartment. Although he was unfamiliar with most of them, Zhou Jinru knew better that once the time bomb detonated, the entire building would be reduced to rubble in an instant, and many people would die.
"It was definitely not Karl who planted the bomb. He was greedy for money, but he was not so crazy that he even wanted to blow up his own family. It was definitely not Kelsey. The big lynx is usually too late to save people and would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. "It shouldn't be William. William is focused on the king and would definitely not be able to do such a thing..."
Zhou Jinru suddenly remembered that Luo Shan had said that in the afternoon, Huron, who was wearing a high hat, came with people and even walked around.
The little girl may not know where Huron went, but in Zhou Jinru's view, he is the most likely person. Even if it is not him, it is related to the people he brought.
No time to think too much!
Zhou Jinru grabbed the time bomb with flashing red dots with both hands, held it tightly in his arms, opened his legs and rushed out of the storage room, turned the subjective timer to maximum power, and flew out in a golden light.
No matter how powerful the dragon knight was, he could not block the light. He flew into the air, threw the time bomb in his hand into the air with all his strength, pulled out the revolver, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger.
A steel-core bullet whirled out of the barrel at high speed and hit the time bomb accurately. A brilliant flash of fire exploded in the sky in the outer city, and a loud boom shattered the window glass of nearby houses.
Zhou Jinru fell into the snow with a plop. After the extreme subjective time, he needed some time to recover his strength.
The cold snow met the hot body and melted into a mixture of ice and water.
There seemed to be something pressing against his chest. He reluctantly opened his eyes and saw the dragon knight with his face covered in blood holding a long spear with the tip pointed at his body.
The cold wind blew the dragon knight's long hair, and the orange-red hair disturbed her vision.
After a few seconds, the spear moved away, but the Dragon Rider still stood there and said coldly: "What happened to the bomb just now?"
It seemed like her arrival at the apartment was just an accident.
Zhou Jinru was lying in the snow, and new thoughts gradually came into his mind.
