Chapter 18: The Impermanence of Life and Death
A pedestrian who was blocking was thrown away by him with one hand, and his body flew six or seven meters away before falling heavily.
Fortunately, the car on the street, when it saw that something was wrong, immediately stepped on the brakes, so that it did not cause a tragedy.
"He's a barbarian, kill him, don't let him run. A middle-aged man, who had also escaped from the bookstore, shouted, picked up a broom from a roadside shop, turned it around, and confronted him with a sword.
Looking at his posture, it is obvious that he has learned swordsmanship, and may even be an apprentice of a martial artist, otherwise at this time, no one would have the courage to provoke a barbarian.
Chen Shouyi, who was about to escape, couldn't help but slow down.
As a young man, his heart was not yet cold, his blood was still hot, and he looked left and right trying to find a weapon to take advantage of.
However, before he could find the weapon, the barbarian instantly rushed towards the middle-aged man, Chen Shouyi couldn't describe his speed, even if it was difficult for his naked eyes to catch, a distance of more than ten meters, it was instantaneous.
Before the middle-aged man's sword could be stabbed, a fist hit him in the head hard.
He flew into the air, and soon fell to the ground like a rag bag.
The skull was shattered like a smashed watermelon.
The most terrible thing was that from beginning to end, the barbarian carried a large cloth bag wrapped in a sheet, which was full of books, and the weight was at least hundreds of catties.
Chen Shouyi just glanced at the miserable corpse, the blood in his heart quickly subsided, a chill spread throughout his body, and the original eagerness to try disappeared, leaving only the fear in his heart.
Fortunately, this barbarian did not carry out senseless killing, after the deterrence, he glanced left and right vigilantly, and quickly fled forward, his steps were heavy and huge, and each step could cross five or six meters away.
In just a few seconds, the barbarian had disappeared into the streets.
It happened so quickly that by the time heavily armed SWAT officers arrived, it was already three minutes later.
It's just that at this time, Chen Shouyi had already left the scene.
Both of them were pushing bicycles, and the pedestrians along the way, when they saw the blood on the two of them, avoided them one after another, and their faces were frightened.
It's just that the two of them are uneasy, and they don't realize it.
Zhang Xiaoyue was quite quiet, and her body was trembling slightly.
Chen Shouyi could feel the fear in her heart, in fact, it was not only her, but he was not like this.
People who live in peace are always unable to imagine the cruelty of death, and even if the news is broadcast from time to time, it is not very real because it is too far away and has no personal experience.
Dongning City has always been a quiet and peaceful town, even if the invasion war of the other world ten or twenty years ago was only a small-scale and high-intensity war that took place in a distant border area.
In terms of scale, it is not comparable to the two world wars, and it has not even affected life.
Perhaps Chen Shouyi will read with relish on the Internet about how many nuclear weapons were used at the end of that war, or what advanced equipment, but he can't feel the cruelty of that war at all.
In this small city, the only event that can be called an invasion of the other world was two years ago.
Two smuggled barbarians were killed on the outskirts of Dongning.
Soon after, this hidden wormhole near the city of Dongning was discovered, and then the army was stationed.
The police were very efficient, and when they walked on the road, the barbarian's wanted notice was being broadcast on the advertising screen in the square, attracting many people to stop and watch, with panic on their faces.
Chen Shouyi sent Zhang Xiaoyue all the way to the door of her community and said, "Squad leader, I'll go first." ”
After a pause, he comforted again: "That barbarian should not be able to escape, there are cameras everywhere on the street, maybe in the evening, the news will be broadcast." ”
"Thank you Chen Shouyi, if you hadn't dragged me, I might have ......"
"Are you our squad leader, how could I leave you alone, don't think too much, I'll go first. Chen Shouyi squeezed out a smile and pretended to be relaxed.
With that, he rode his bicycle and sped away.
On the way, he received a phone call.
"Why are you still outside, come back soon!" was Chen's mother's anxious voice on the phone.
"Mom, I'll be right back. Chen Shouyi didn't ask why.
He hung up the phone and hurried home.
The meal was already closed, the sliding door was half opened, he put the bicycle from the back door, and was pulled in by Chen's mother, and then quickly locked the sliding door.
"Bodhisattva bless, you are finally back, you don't know what happened just now, it's really scary. Mother Chen said nervously.
Suddenly, her face turned white.
"How do you have blood on your body. ”
Chen Shouyi touched it, and the blood stains on it had dried up, leaving only bloody scabs on the palms, and there might still be some minced flesh inside. The thought of these things, splashed from the corpse, made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Chen Shouyi could only explain honestly.
"You...... If you have to go to a bookstore, you're going to be scared to death. Chen's mother was both happy and scared in her heart, and finally she was so angry that she couldn't help but hit him twice: "Take off your clothes quickly, I'll burn them later." Worship the Bodhisattva again, and go to bad luck. ”
As a person who opens the door to do business, he is often the most superstitious, and his family has Guanyin and the God of Wealth all year round, but whether it is him or his sister, they don't worship much.
"Okay Mom, by the way, what about Xingyue?" he asked as he took off his coat.
"She's already back, watching the news upstairs with your dad. ”
Under the supervision of Chen's mother, Chen Shouyi worshiped the Bodhisattva, walked upstairs, and was questioned by Chen Dawei again.
The TV was playing the news just now, and he saw one by one mosaic corpses being carried out of the bookstore, some of which could only be described as puddles of rotten meat, and were packed into containment bags.
"So far, the death toll of this attack has reached 135, and another 43 people are seriously injured, and emergency rescue is being ......"
Chen Shouyi glanced at it, and didn't look at it again, the scene was more cruel than the news broadcast, he got up and walked to the bathroom, took a shower, and washed away all the residual blood and gas in his body.
In the evening, after a simple dinner, the family stayed in front of the TV and watched the latest news.
Outside, police cars can be heard whistling from time to time on the street, and it is clear that all the police forces have been dispatched.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit oppressive, and there was not much to talk to.
Such a terrible terrorist from another world, wandering in the city, no one can still eat and sleep fragrantly, as if nothing happened.
It was seven o'clock in the evening.
A piece of news popped in.
The host looked at the manuscript, his face showed a hint of joy, but it was fleeting, and then became solemn: "Now broadcast a news, under the blockade of the whole city, at 6:40, several honorary special police officers of the special police force of Dongning City and the Martial Arts Association finally found the hiding place of the barbarian in Yanghu Park, and after a fierce battle, the barbarian was finally killed.
In this battle, including Zhou Shaofeng, vice president of the Dongning Martial Arts Association, four special police officers accidentally died in the line of duty......
Zhou Shaofeng is dead!
Chen Shouyi was stunned, the first time he heard Zhou Shaofeng's name was from the school's martial arts teacher.
Two years ago, the two barbarians on the outskirts of Dongning were killed one by one by him single-handedly with a magical sword.
But such a powerful figure, a veteran warrior, died unexpectedly.
He felt a little scared in his heart, but also a little happy.
If he had been hot-headed and rushed up, maybe ......
