7. Awakening
Watching a group of masked people come out of the Pearl Hotel, they walked towards the Linjiang Bridge with murderous aura. In front of the cracked floor-to-ceiling window on the twelfth floor of an office building next to him, Red-haired Jack put down his binoculars and let out a mocking laugh: "These Chinese! ”
He stretched, his backpack full of cans and water.
"Hackers stole information from their social groups, and the leader did have some means." Jack munched on potato chips as he muttered to himself, "With homemade. Explosives are used as a communication signal to deter and intimidate the original characters who hide in the corners of the city at night, which may be counterproductive. ”
Jack took out a pen and sketched on the notepad booklet he carried with him, sketching things that only he could understand, and his mouth couldn't stop complaining: "The author is too casual, and the information on the Chinese side is not detailed at all." ”
He crossed out the date of November 7 with a red pen, then the tip of the pen slipped down and drew a circle here on the 18th.
"Li Fei's itinerary...... There is a drama to be started on the 18th, and today is the birthday of the famous director, PATY, which has nothing to do with Huaicheng. Jack recalls the article he got from Starry Sky Entertainment Media.
The two large-scale awakenings of China clearly recorded in the original book were in Huaicheng.
- All the awakened who have potential have entered the world of forsakenness.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but it is unknown how many of them will survive a city with a population of one million and no more than a hundred awakened people. These people are also scattered all over the city, and it is an impossible task to find them all.
Those who agreed to meet at the Pearl Hotel were actually from all over the country, and today was the day they met to enter the world of abandonment.
It is impossible for a book to describe in detail the awakening opportunities of each character.
The only way for an outsider to gain this ability is to choose the safest date.
Putting the notepad back in his pocket, Red-Haired Jack looked at the figures who were far away, and regretted again: "If it weren't for China's guns. The management of the branch is strict-"
Tonight's bloodshed will be even more intense.
The tighter the internal friction on China's side, the better it will be for them.
"Huh?"
Jack stumbles upon a figure swaying in the stairwell window on the fourteenth floor of the Pearl Hotel.
He quickly picked up the binoculars, and the lights in the hotel stairwell were turned off by someone, and Jack could only see a silhouette by the window, as if he was still walking side by side with someone, very close.
It stands to reason that it is very difficult to recognize who it is, but this passer-by, Jack has pondered countless times since he got the photo. After a few walks, it can be said that he already has the skills of a senior paparazzi in the entertainment industry, and he can get the answer with only half a face.
"Li Fei?"
Why is he here? Jack was startled, his hand holding the telescope trembling.
Li Fei seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned his head to this side.
Seeing those eyes in the binoculars, Jack subconsciously took three steps back, stuck to the wall of the room, turned off the lights with a snap, pulled up the backpack on the ground, and rushed out without looking back.
His reaction was so fast that Li Fei only saw a figure flash in the window of a certain floor opposite, and then the light went out.
“……”
From such a distance, Li Fei didn't have a telescope in his hand, at best, he could see a figure, but he couldn't see what it looked like. The other party actually turned off the light, and would rather expose the fact that "there are living people here" and "they are just peeping" than escape, which made Li Fei stunned for a few seconds.
With a heavy hand, Geng Tian, who Li Fei was originally supporting, couldn't support it, and staggered down.
Although Li Fei takes bodyguards with him wherever he goes, this is his professional need, as he can receive threatening letters every month. There are countless walkers, and the actor whose shirt collar was dragged away by fans at one time, Li Fei is not one of the little boys of the new generation in the entertainment industry who will be paralyzed if he runs 800 meters with a feminine appearance. Half-supporting and half-erecting Geng Khotan downstairs was not a problem for him.
What gave him a headache was the symptoms of Khotan.
Geng Khotan's forehead has visible green tendons beating, if Li Fei hadn't stopped him quickly just now, Geng Khotan might have hit the wall with his head, which shows how much pain he had.
When the rioters left the hotel, there was a lot of commotion, and Li Fei also saw it by the window of the stairwell.
The watchers who suddenly appeared on the opposite side made the doubts in Li Fei's heart superimpose again: the bandits who searched the floor were wearing masks, looking afraid that others would see their faces, it may be that they had never seen each other, so they didn't trust each other, but what was the guy on the other side afraid of?
Red-haired Jack's heart was beating out of his throat.
He dared to drive a flying car, and he also had the idea of murdering actor Li Fei, but it was all in the real world, before the plot began.
He would never dare to confront Li Fei in the abandoned world, in this strange world, the power of the ability is ten times that of reality, and the danger will stimulate Li Fei to directly awaken the ability. Li Fei is S-level, and if he wants to kill him, he can only plan in advance, or find a way to make him unable to get the ability.
If there is no S-level ability, if you want to fight Li Fei's idea, you will die a neat death.
This is the lesson of blood and tears drawn from the death of the supporting characters in the original book.
“Fuck!” After Jack escaped from the building where he was hiding, he couldn't stop feeling annoyed in his heart, obviously Li Fei was not involved in a car accident, and there was no trip to Huaicheng on his itinerary, how could anyone appear here?
Is this the power of the plot?
In the original book, Li Fei is still lying in the hospital at this time, and the large-scale awakening in Huaicheng has nothing to do with him.
Jack was in a cold sweat, the mission was smashed, and it was a trivial matter to be ridiculed by his partners after returning to China, Li Fei is a very heavy villain in the original book, he is alive, and many characters have to die.
"Bang!"
There was another loud explosion from the Pearl Hotel.
Jack's neck stiffened, and he slowly turned his head to look at the tall buildings illuminated by the firelight.
The explosion took place on the first floor and appears to have been the explosives placed by the masked mob before they were withdrawn, so as to destroy the traces they left in the hotel lobby.
Time stands still in Forsaken Worlds, but it's okay to flip the hands upside down, or press a countdown timer to jump, because it's time itself that stands still, and there's no point in using dead things.
China even has to go through security checks on the subway, and explosives are even more difficult to handle, and even Jack didn't expect that group of crazy people to prepare so much.
The flames soared, and the explosion wave blew everything on the second floor of the hotel out, followed by the leakage of natural gas in the pipeline, and subsequent explosions occurred one after another, affecting a wider range of floors.
Jack looked stunned, slowly raised his hand, and covered his face in pain.
- If it was someone else at the Pearl Hotel, he would think that guy was dead, but Li Fei! Li Fei!
This person who awakened his abilities in the original book because of a car accident explosion......
The flames almost enveloped the 10th floor of the Pearl Hotel, but no smoke came out, and the explosion seemed to suddenly stop, like a movie explosion shot frozen, leaving only the flames of air waves to churn silently, rushing out of every floor of the hotel.
They squeeze against each other, forming hideous forms.
When they explode, the air and dust will form a strange shape, they are distorted by the heat, and in the eyes of humans, they look like demons that do not exist in the world, and now these demons seem to be forcibly driven out by a strong force and surround the hotel building.
Jack's brown pupils constricted, and he ran away.
The firelight lit up half of the sky, and the movement was so great that even Cheng Lao in the clinic found out, and when he lifted the curtains, he was so shocked that he fell backwards and sat on the chair.
Jian Hua looked at the Pearl Hotel with a complicated expression.
In the night, it was like an inverted giant torch, and Jian Hua felt that his mental ability was jumping uncontrollably, like a lion awakened by other beasts, and he couldn't wait to let out an angry roar.
Everything in the clinic shook with a clatter.
"Squat down!" Cheng Lao was so frightened that he picked up Jian Hua and was about to hide behind the cabinet.
It is very dangerous to see the light of the explosion and fire still standing in the window, the shock wave of the air wave is slower than the fire and the sound, it will shatter the glass, turn into countless fragments and fly like bullets.
As a result, as soon as he touched Jian Hua, Cheng Lao felt a sharp headache, and in the panic, he didn't have time to hide, and suddenly the cabinet slipped over by itself, blocking the window tightly.
Jian Hua was very sensible, and after forcibly suppressing the restless ability, he quickly moved to Cheng Lao's side.
- That force, there is a force on the side of the Pearl Hotel that is slowly waking up, Jian Hua feels that the speed of blood flow between her breaths is not normal, as if she wants to feel the storage zài closely, to see what it is.
Cheng Lao's cry of pain pulled Jian Hua's trance back.
The old man sweated profusely, holding Jian Hua's palm as if it had been fished out of water, Jian Hua hurriedly checked Cheng Lao's situation, ignoring the feeling that the ability just now echoed with the power in the distance.
In this city, the frightened awakened people who are hiding like them, the group of people who gather on the Linjiang Bridge to discuss, and the masked thugs who are full of murderous energy and are ready to rush to the Linjiang Bridge, all look up in surprise and look at the silent fire of the Pearl Hotel in the distance.
Circles of flames swirled upwards into the night sky.
The Pearl Hotel has fifty-eight floors, and now it looks like a lonely tower where the flame demons are entrenched in hell, and it is like a flame illuminating all the demons, they are running in a hurry, but they are bound around the lonely tower.
The man in the black jacket was the first to react, he even forgot to take the voice changer, and exclaimed: "Not good! It's the Awakening of the High-Level Ability! ”
Some of the people were trembling, some were greedy, and some were so good at thinking about it that they were terrified: they put the explosives in the Pearl Hotel, and no one had been searched, where did this high-level supernatural come from?
"Run! Awakening will upset the balance, and the forsaken world is about to disappear! ”
The masked and machete thugs scattered in a hurry, running to different streets, looking for places they thought were hidden, and took off their masks, murder weapons, gloves and coats.
The flames surrounding the Pearl Hotel burst into flames, then shattered like foam, turning into points of gold and at the same time engulfed by a tremendous force, leaving only the flame-blackened façade of the hotel.
The high-rise building did not collapse, and a ruining disaster disappeared.
There are ripples of power visible to the naked eye, with the Pearl Hotel as the middle, and quickly spread to the entire city.
Pedestrians appear on the streets, seconds begin to move, and the noise of the city returns.
"Ahh
People are terrified, how can the Pearl Hotel turn black in the blink of an eye? The streets are littered with glass shards and broken decorations.
The reception desk of the hotel, one foot slumped and sat in the ruins.
The entire lobby became a garbage dump with black smoke, not to mention the platform where she worked, and even the ceiling was gone.
