Chapter 735: The Dead Angel
Love sea, sandy beach.
Although it wasn't an open day in City Zero, there were still awakened people gathered in twos and threes on the beach.
The huge Zero City, of course, can't only exist with a resident team.
Those large and small living facilities and less important factories in Zero City need too many people. Of course, it is not enough to rely on the manpower of the permanent team.
The total number of resident teams in Zero City is now seven, but in addition to them, there are dozens of teams of various sizes, each attached to the seven resident teams.
These teams have different levels and numbers of people who regularly enter City Zero, and some important members of the team can simply stay in City Zero for a long time.
The southern district where the Sea of Love is located is the living area where various bars and shops are located. It's three o'clock in the afternoon, according to outside time. It stands to reason that the artificial sun overhead should be shining golden at this moment, staining the beach softly.
But now it was pitch black overhead, without any clouds or sun.
The Awakened One, who was resting, suddenly saw all the lights around him go out at the same time just half an hour ago.
This includes the virtual sky overhead, as well as other shops around you.
It wasn't until several minutes had passed that the dim emergency street lights began to come on, but they were only minimally visible.
These awakened beings are now gathering on the beach in twos and threes, whispering and making all sorts of speculations.
However, no one was flustered, and the more emotion in everyone's hearts was curiosity.
It seems to be...... Blackout?
But it's also too weird. No one had ever seen a power outage in City Zero, and they never even thought that such a thing would happen.
But the energy supply will come sooner or later, so just wait here for now. The Senate and the Angel Legion have maintained the perfect operation of City Zero for so long, so this perfect operation will definitely continue to be maintained.
But after a few more minutes, the sirens representing the state of emergency suddenly sounded in a rhythm of two long, one short and two long, and the light of the surrounding street lights changed from dim yellow to dark red.
At this time, these awakened people finally began a small riot. Some of them began to take out the vehicles in their storage gear, intending to head towards the Senate of the North District to see what was going on.
But soon, several squads of the Angel Legion appeared, preventing this move, and with the help of the radio system, martial law was issued.
"I am the Absolute Angel of the Angel Legion. All personnel are to enter their homes at once. Those who do not have permanent residency in City Zero are to return to your hotel room. If the door cannot be opened using system energy, you can move it nearby. ”
The captain of the Angel Legion, who was wearing pale gold floating armor and his face was half covered, followed by several team members, hurriedly walked onto the beach of the Sea of Love, and commanded all the personnel in his line of sight to evacuate in the direction of the commercial street with a brief gesture: "Zero City is now under martial law, and no one is allowed to move on their own until the state of martial law is lifted." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd on the beach.
No one expected such a situation.
Zero City ...... Martial law?
Some began to silently follow the instructions of the Jedi Angel and move in the direction of the shopping street, but there were also some Awakened who began to walk towards the Jedi Angel, intending to ask what was really going on.
A soft buzz sounded, and a beam of light hit the feet of a young woman in a bikini with a surging chest at the front, and the hot light instantly melted the sand on the ground, melting into dark red viscous glass.
"This is not a drill, I repeat, this is not a drill. Within fifteen minutes, all streets within City Zero must be cleared. No questioning, no delay, and after fifteen minutes, if anyone still appears on the street, the Angel Legion has been authorized by the Senate to use all force against them!"
The Absolute Angel lifted his mask and looked at the bikini woman with a cold gaze, an irresistible authority in his mechanical voice.
The bikini woman was almost hit by the beam, her legs instinctively jumped backwards, and she covered her mouth with her hands to hide a scream that was about to burst out of her throat.
"Do you understand?" The Jedi Angel raised his right arm slightly and aimed it at the bikini woman's chest, the small energy cannon that had just been fired on her wrist was still smoking.
"Listen...... Understood!" The bikini woman nodded her head twice as quickly as a rabbit around the small piece of sand where the energy cannon had hit, and ran quickly towards the shopping street.
Angel nodded, looking away from hers, continuing to scan the beach ahead.
This time, no one is stranded, and no one is trying to get caught up anymore. The Angel Legion originally meant absolute authority in City Zero, and now that it was an extraordinary moment, only an idiot would try to disobey martial law.
Although I don't know what's going on, the best option at this moment is to be obedient.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the beach, the Jedi Angel nodded lightly in satisfaction.
Although he didn't like such a rough execution, as a senior member of the Angel Legion, he was well aware of the urgency of the situation.
Although he did not know exactly what had happened, how it would be resolved, and when it would be resolved, the Jedi Angel could be sure that what was happening now was extraordinary.
He's not a technician, and now monitoring everything in the hall, he can't intervene to help. Then all that can be done is to work hard to enforce the martial law of the Senate and the Martial Angels.
"The beach is cleared, let's go. The Absolute Angel turned around and was about to walk in the direction of the commercial street, when he suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of his eye.
A white figure.
Although the Sea of Love is nothing more than an artificial beach, most people who come here will choose to wear swimsuits and swim trunks, or casual beachwear so as not to spoil the atmosphere here.
The man in front of him was slowly walking from the sea towards the beach. The sea water had reached his knees, but he was wearing a white robe!
It's not like you're going to be dressed for a beach break!
And the Absolute Angel was sure that when he first arrived, he would never have such a person in his sight.
"What person, report your team and name!" As he spoke, the Angel of Absolute had already stretched out his right arm and aimed the small energy cannon on his right wrist at the man in white in front of him.
He had just issued martial law, but now the man in front of him was not walking fast, and there was no panic on his face.
More precisely, there was no expression on his face, and he walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back, like a gentleman who had just finished a fine lunch and was walking in his back garden.
"I repeat, report your team and name, and return to your place of residence immediately! Under martial law, the Angel Legion has the right to use unlimited force against anyone who does not obey instructions!"
The Absolute Angel snapped again.
But the man in white still walked unhurriedly.
"Fire. ”
Whispering an order into the throat transmitter, the Angel of Absolute had already shot a beam of light at the man in white.
The other angels also immediately carried out the order of the absolute angel to the letter, and the five-person team opened the weapon slot on the floating armor at the same time, shooting a beam of light towards the man in white.
But when the energy beam hit three meters in front of the man, it was suddenly bounced away by an inexplicable force, as if a live weapon had hit the hard armor and produced a ricochet.
The face of the Absolute Angel changed slightly.
The man in front of him...... Something is wrong, something is very wrong!
More than a dozen armor plates were lifted from top to bottom of his body at once, revealing the weapon slots underneath.
"Squad 5 calls HQ, squad 5 calls HQ. Love Sea found suspected hostile personnel, refused to enforce martial law, and now accepts the enemy. ”
Before his words fell, more than a dozen weapons under the armor plate had already fired at the man in white at the same time.
Full launch!
But what shocked the Absolute Angel was that this attack still didn't have the slightest effect!
Whether it was an energy beam or a small Vulcan cannon, it all made a strange turn three meters in front of the man and hit the air.
There was even a small rocket that exploded in the air, and it exploded at the man's feet, and the fire and air waves kicked up a large puddle of sand, but the sand that was raised did not even fall on the man's body.
Not only was it not injured, not even a trace of dust was contaminated!
And when the fire dissipated, the picture that the Jedi Angel saw was that a long sword suddenly appeared in the man's right hand, and then the void slashed down in front of him.
Between the two people, there is still a distance of more than ten meters. But just as the man's sword fell, an alarm suddenly sounded in the heart of the Jedi Angel.
It was an instinctive reaction developed in the long-term battle of life and death-
I'm going to die!
Ignoring the ban on the use of thrusters issued by the Senate before, the Absolute Angel opened his arms, legs and five thrusters behind him in a flash of lightning, turned on to the maximum power, and soared upwards. In less than half a second, it has jumped into mid-air.
Several of the subordinate floating angels looked up in horror at the absolute angels who suddenly climbed upward, and they didn't know what was happening.
Like a rocket that failed to launch, the Absolute Angel had just jumped up less than twenty meters, but his body suddenly stopped, and then the whole person fell upside down.
Just as he was halfway down, his body parted.
From the top of the head to the legs, it is precisely divided into two symmetrical pieces, as if it had been measured and cut out by a ruler, and it is planted with the floating armor wrapped around the body.
The right half of his body fell flat and rolled twice on the beach like a stake. The left half of the body fell in a vertical direction, stuck upside down on the beach, and lost the entire head and most of the shoulder.
The remaining four members of the Angel Legion, as well as the outer team awakened on the beach who were hurrying towards the mall to begin their evacuation, each froze.
Absolute Angel ...... Just dead?!
Without the slightest warning, not even the "battle" in the standard sense of the word took place, and it was ...... He's dead?!
