438 I'm not going to be their lackey
Obsidian City is the gateway to the west of the Canglong region, and its size is only equivalent to a satellite city, but due to its proximity to the large hollow on the west side.
Obsidian City also serves as a monitoring and defense function, which is probably a bit similar to White Rock City, and there are similarities.
Because Baiyan City is located on the east side of the Canglong region, relying on the East China Sea, in order to defend against the attack of the coastal monsters, Stonehenge was built.
Cities like Obsidian City and White Rock City keep the Monster Legion at bay from the tall walls and Stonehenge perimeter, while the other cities on the inside.
Although they are also facing the threat of demon beasts, after all, those are only small groups of demon beasts, and they do not border the occupied area, so the pressure is not great.
The west side of Obsidian City is a vast forest, with a large number of demon beasts infested, human beings in order to obtain data, built a large number of observation stations in the forest, and from time to time there are teams that perform various tasks deep into the forest, in Obsidian City often occur human and demon ** fire incidents.
The artillery positions built on the city walls also heard the sound of cannons from time to time, which means that there are monsters approaching the range of the city and driving them away.
The citizens of Obsidian City have long been accustomed to such scenes, and those who occasionally come to Obsidian City on business are still curious about it.
But soon it was the same as it was, it had been like this for more than ten years, and the demon beast and the human race maintained a tacit understanding, and no one would take a step beyond the thunder pool.
On this day, people thought the same thing before they fell asleep, and even the concept of defensive walls and demon beast legions was no longer in their minds.
Anyway, they have lived for so long and nothing has happened, and their living radius is so large, most people are afraid that they will not go out in a city for the rest of their lives, where they can get everything they want, food, water, education, medical care, entertainment, etc.
The world outside is as far away to them as Mars and Earth, and there will be no intersection at all, who cares?
However, as midnight came, they were awakened from their dreams, and the citizens woke up from their deep sleep and turned on their lights.
"What's going on, it shook so hard just now, was it an earthquake? But why is it normal now? I'll have to go see what's going on. ”
"The cups are all broken on the ground, and now they seem to have stopped, but do we need to evacuate? Will there be a follow-up earthquake? ”
"Wait a minute, what's the sound outside? How do you hear it like a rumbling sound, it sounds like a ...... Guns? ”
"It must have come from the defensive wall, this kind of thing happens a lot, nothing strange, don't worry about it, let's go back to sleep."
"But something didn't feel right, and the sound wasn't a cannon...... We're getting closer, oh my God, look what's going on out there! ”
A young couple who were awakened by shock heard the commotion and did not quite understand what was happening, just as they were unimpressed and decided to continue sleeping.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" outside the window, which was not quite the same as the cannon sound they usually heard, it was too close!
"That's ...... The building collapsed? Was it caused by an earthquake? But no, only that one building collapsed, if it was an earthquake, it would have collapsed to the extent that the building would have collapsed, and it would definitely collapse in a large area, but I didn't see it, what the hell is going on? ”
"Look over there, there's a fire over there, something flying out of the fire, and over there, it's a bat flying through the sky? Or a crow? But it's not quite like that, that hideous and ugly monster is...... Monsters? Actually appeared in the city? ”
The young couple, who were still rubbing their sleepy eyes, looked at the scenes coming from the window, and they were frightened into a cold sweat and woke up with wide eyes.
The city, which had been quiet under the darkness of the night, was now like falling into the hell of Shura, and more and more buildings began to collapse.
The sleeping people finally woke up from their slumber, and fear and despair began to dominate the city, and they had no time to react.
The monsters that flew into the city in pieces had already docked on the roofs of various buildings, causing a wave of vibration from the buildings, and cracks appeared directly on the ground.
With a gust of air from flapping their wings and a high-pitched, hoarse sound from them, they began to fly into various parts of the city and began to wreak havoc.
"Am I dreaming? How could something like this, which had been blocked by the defensive wall for more than ten years, appear here beyond the defensive wall? And the realization has not yet been half an early warning? Are we all going to be finished? Telephone, telephone ...... Damn, why is there no signal? Aren't they usually full? ”
"What a terrible monster, they are attacking everywhere in the city, I don't want to be its bait, everyone hurry up, get out of this terrible place, I don't want to die at all, what's wrong with this city, how can you easily let them in?"
"I can't care so much now, it's important to live, go over there, look, they're flying over, no, don't, I still have a lot of things to do, I still have important people, fate can't do this to me, don't ...... Ahh ”
In a burst of screams and wails, these monsters descended from the sky and began to pounce on the unarmed citizens, blood splattering quickly.
The blood color looked extremely hideous under the moonlight, and the electric lights had just been turned on, illuminating most of the city's electricity suddenly.
The electric lights went out one after another, and only the moonlight became the only main theme, and fear spread like a plague rapidly.
People kept running out of the building with their wives and children and running to the parking lot to start the car, but before the car could ignite, a monster fell and stepped on the roof of the car, and the sharp claws directly cut through the iron sheet, and soon blood gushed out of the cab.
There are even people who are trapped in the elevator due to power interruptions and can only be forced to escape from the corridor, there are too many people.
But before they could withdraw, a huge demon beast with a height of more than ten meters slowly came over and directly smashed the building off.
The urban monster made of reinforced concrete was cut off in an instant, and the people in the building also fell rapidly with the broken building.
Their screams were nothing compared to the desperation of the city, the blood was brewing with moonlight, and the world was in a frenzy.
"Damn, are we going to turn our backs on the citizens we want to protect and flee here in disgrace? I don't want that, I'm not a coward! ”
In front of a police car that had already reached the intersection on the east side of the city, a young police officer roared at the exploding city.
"I don't want to do this either, but this is an order from above, we must immediately escort those dignitaries out of here, this is our task, and the execution of the task is the only thing we need to perform, let's go, don't think too much, otherwise it will be too late in a while."
An older officer patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him not to stop, now they had to race against time.
At the intersection behind them, a large number of cars blocked the road, people kept honking their horns, and some people even came out and got into an argument.
Order is maintained by heavily armed special operators who need to prioritize escorting some important people out of this dangerous place.
"But why should the dignitaries be allowed to leave, but the innocent citizens should be allowed to suffer there? Who are we protecting? Are they innocent citizens, or are they those in power? Are the vows we have taken just a piece of paper? ”
The officer looked strangely angry, and he clenched his fist and slammed it into the police bus next to him, and soon a depression appeared.
This shows that he has amazing arm strength and is an excellent police officer who has been professionally trained, otherwise he would not have been allowed to carry out such a task.
"I understand your anger, but in this case, we can't save everyone, we can only do what we need to do within our ability, we should indeed protect innocent civilians, but no matter who we save, it's unfair, since it's doomed."
"Then we can only obey the order, when choosing this profession, we should have this awareness, stop thinking nonsense, let's go, now we have to race against time, the city can no longer hold on, and it will completely collapse after dawn."
The old police officer looked at Obsidian City, which was being wreaked havoc by the Demon Beast Legion behind him, and his expression was complicated, after all, he had worked and lived here for many years.
He had witnessed the birth of the city, but he had to see its destruction with his own eyes, and this complex emotion made him extremely uncomfortable.
And when he was required to stay and fight, he had to get out of here, and he was definitely tormented emotionally.
"No, I can't do this kind of thing anyway, even if I give up this identity, even if I only have my last breath and last drop of blood left, I have to fight, fight for the citizens who should be protected, instead of becoming a lackey of the dignitaries, I have to go back now!"
The young officer gritted his teeth, and he looked at his bloody fist from the punch he had just smashed and made up his mind.
He still remembers the oath he took when he first entered the police academy, and he decided as a child that he would defend this honor for the rest of his life.
This glory comes from his father, who was also a police officer, but died in the line of duty, which is a sacred existence that must not be defiled!
"But how many people can you save on your own? It's just a waste of death, everyone can't wait to get out of this dangerous city, but you ...... Well? Is that...... A helicopter? Where did this come from? How did you fly towards the inner side of the city? ”
Just as the old policeman grabbed his arm and reprimanded him sharply, intending to forcibly take him away, he suddenly looked up into the air.
At this time, the searchlight beam of a helicopter turned on and passed in the direction of the center of Obsidian City, which was diametrically opposed to their direction.
At a time when everyone wants to escape, someone actually does the opposite? Are those guys crazy?
