Chapter 421: Chapter 420: Wasn’t That Just for Show?
After landing, the young man hesitated not for a moment and immediately began the slaughter.
With a swift gesture, he unleashed a strike as powerful as a thunderbolt, a blow exceeding a hundred tons instantly turned a special agent wielding a firearm into a mist of blood.
Then, in a sweeping motion, the blood mist in the air was not wasted and under the control of an invisible force, it coalesced into a small mass and absorbed into the young man’s body.
Among the security personnel present, there wasn’t a Death Fighter with abilities, let alone among the surrounding civilians.
This resulted in the young man, even carrying a playful attitude, obliterating them like a tiger in a flock of sheep, with none able to last a single round before him.
After creating nearly ten blood mists in succession, the young man seemingly grew bored, or perhaps felt this method wasn’t efficient enough.
He stopped his punching, withdrew his hands, and briefly gathered strength.
Cautiously observing, one would find traces of blood seeping from the ground beneath the young man, as if the earth was bleeding.
Once he had gathered enough strength, the young man opened his arms as if to embrace, his form quickly softened and merged into the blood seeping from the ground.
The next moment, under the gaze of countless onlookers, the once ordinary street abruptly turned into a blood pool.
The blood surged from the ground with reckless abandon, pouring out in wave after wave.
The dark red flood of blood swept away everything on the street, even raising parked cars with its sheer volume, while the surrounding civilians could only watch helplessly as they were submerged by the madly rushing flood of blood.
"Requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!"
"No... Ah!!!"
"Grenade? Does anyone have a grenade?"
An entire squad of special agents was soon decimated.
Facing a tangible entity, they could at least attempt to resist with gunfire.
But this blood pool was an opponent beyond comprehension, even emptying their magazines merely resulted in more bullet heads floating in the blood flood.
...
Approximately two blocks away from the blood pool’s location.
An off-road vehicle and a black sedan drove along the road, one behind the other.
Despite the entire Underground City being on military alert, the off-road vehicle had one of Cheng Zhiwu’s exclusive black license plates, so the two cars faced no hindrances and enjoyed green lights all the way.
"Hey? What’s happening over there?" Feng Yixuan curiously glanced in the direction of the blood pool.
Li Shan glanced sideways and asked, "What’s wrong?"
He knew Feng Yixuan possessed a kind of enhanced hearing ability, useful in gathering information.
Noting the three to four hundred meters gap between them and the off-road vehicle ahead, Feng Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, nothing. Let’s head back to the City Council with the team captain first. Anyway, these incidents are happening everywhere, headquarters likely already dispatched personnel to handle it."
Li Shan shrugged without objection, mainly because he had no idea about the specifics.
The cars sped along quickly without obstruction, soon arriving at the City Hall Building.
A substantial crowd had already gathered in the plaza before the City Hall Building.
Almost all were surviving civilians from nearby Habitable City; initially, only some resourceful civilians thought being near the City Hall Building would provide better safety.
Humans inherently possess a herd mentality; once someone notices the situation here, they naturally gather as well.
Honestly speaking, with City Hall Building situated here, it is indeed relatively safer compared to other places.
However, once the cars were forced to stop, Lv Bai could notice through the car window that the City Council was beginning to evacuate nearby civilians.
Since the gathered civilians could severely hinder the movement and operations of official personnel, lowering the efficiency of disaster response, not to mention posing other potential risks.
Therefore, they could only inconvenience these gathering civilians.
Ordinary civilians, despite any dissatisfaction, wouldn’t dare express it when facing armed soldiers.
Lv Bai and his group didn’t wait outside the crowd for long, soon guided inside the City Hall Building by staff.
Upon entering the building, the atmosphere was palpably tense and busy, everyone moved quickly.
"Chairman Xiao is in a meeting, he’ll come to see you all personally once it’s over, please wait here for a while."
The guiding staff opened the door to a lounge.
The lounge’s décor was quite luxurious, even a pool table stood in the middle.
Lv Bai noticed that there were others in the lounge, evidently not reserved solely for their group.
The other people in the lounge were observing them as well.
A bald man lounging on the sofa hailed the Captain of the Sixth Team: "Zhuang, over here. Oh? Principal Pu is here too. You’re back to report as well?"
In the upper circles of Shelter Number 9, they were all familiar faces.
The Sixth Team Captain naturally didn’t hold back, entering the lounge and scanning the room, saying, "Looks like everyone just arrived too."
Lv Bai wasn’t interested in establishing presence here and simply found a spot to sit, quietly listening to their idle chat.
Through this eavesdropping, Lv Bai came to identify the people present.
They were either captains or vice-captains of Cheng Zhiwu, or principals and heads of the Field Department from Death Battle Campus.
Though positions differed, they were all Death Fighters, and among the strongest in Underground City.
Of course, some people hadn’t arrived, likely busy with important tasks.
Such people were of undeniable importance in the current situation, the City Council could not value them enough.
"Still bringing Xiaoli and Xiaofeng in your team? I’d say, it’s time to let go. Only then can you train newcomers effectively."
The bald guy nodded towards Li Shan and Feng Yixuan, speaking with the wisdom of experience.
Hearing this, the Sixth Team Captain’s expression shifted slightly.
He hesitated for two seconds, then asked, "Old Jiang, haven’t you contacted your vice-captain?"
The bald guy waved dismissively, "No merits, directly appointed as vice-captain, just here by the City Council for gilding, what’s there to contact?"
The Sixth Team Captain glanced subtly at Lv Bai sitting in the corner: "You’ve never met them, don’t jump to conclusions, alright?"
Just then, the door of the lounge suddenly opened, interrupting what the bald guy was about to say next.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Chairman Xiao spoke as he entered the lounge.
A group followed behind him, flowing in until the originally spacious lounge seemed rather overcrowded.
