Volume 1: The Tide of Dusk: The Beginning of Fire and Sword (3)
On the third day that Lin Xiaojia came to the city, they finally found signs of the skeleton's activity.
This time it's for something very important, and the skeletons are protecting it.
Although she has the "Eagle Falcon" to monitor the situation in a large area around her at all times, Lin Xiaojia is not very relieved, she feels that if she does not find the target in the first place, she will leave them a chance to escape.
At this moment, she sat cross-legged by the floor-to-ceiling window of the large office on the 67th floor of the financial center, overlooking the north-south No. 1 elevated line of the city's main thoroughfare, which was the peak period for getting off work.
Lin Xiaojia twisted his somewhat sore neck and picked up the packing box beside him.
This is the wonton that Lao Zhang bought for her just now, the dough has become more transparent because it has been stuffy in the packing box for a while, Lin Xiaojia put the Red King leaning on her shoulder by the floor-to-ceiling window, and she will keep the Red King awake every day since then in case of accidents.
She took the ravioli with a plastic spoon and put it in her mouth.
In the past few days, the food that Lao Zhang has brought to her is either wontons or fried dumplings or the like. Since discovering the roadside food stall at the corner of the street, Lao Zhang is like finding a treasure, and the three meals are directly solved there.
She muttered in her heart, although she didn't really express any dissatisfaction, because this wonton was really delicious, and if the monotony of the dish was removed, it wouldn't bore her if she kept eating it. Thinking about it, she put the spoon in her mouth again.
Although it was a long time in the summer, she didn't feel the scorching heat wave in this city, and perhaps because of her ability, the temperature she could withstand was much higher than that of ordinary people.
At the moment, she draped her long hair casually over her shoulders, uncombed but not very messy, and a miniature device hung in her ear.
She wore an army-green casual jacket with only a black sports vest underneath, and the pants were also army green linen and cotton combination trousers, no shoes and no socks, and her small feet were coiled under her body and sunk into the soft carpet.
Because this large office was cleaned by a special person before she moved in. The office itself is quite fully equipped, with a large desk, a 360° leather swivel chair, a couch, a carpet covering all the space except the shower, and a small bedroom inside, except for no kitchen, otherwise it is a high-end apartment.
Lin Xiaojia finished eating the wontons at hand, and finally looked away from the elevated road, and the long-term concentration also made her feel a little tired, and she looked at other scenes outside the window when she got up and threw the lunch box into the trash.
This floor-to-ceiling window has an excellent view of the nearly 150° view ahead.
The night view of the city is quite beautiful, and the elevated roads crisscrossing the whole city are like dazzling dividing lines, dividing the whole city into small pieces that will not be aesthetically fatigued by the golden ratio.
The buildings are mostly brightly lit, and the shopping mall forms the most complex part of the light cluster, and the various lights can quickly catch people's eyes from a distance, and also symbolize the area that is officially the heart of the city.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaojia was slightly distracted, and when his eyes were not focused on a certain point, the main features of the night scenes of all cities would be blurred, and the final structure would be flickering luminous bodies.
Her mind wandered in the rather identical landscape, the lighted buildings, the long queue in motion, the towering floor-to-ceiling windows, the clusters of glare shining into the room, the shaking and frightened figures, the blood and the mournful howl.
Suddenly, a strong labor pain surged up the corners of her forehead, Lin Xiaojia was stimulated by this sudden labor pain and was a little unstable on her feet, she staggered to the floor-to-ceiling window, and at the same time took out a square locket from the pocket of her casual jacket with a slightly trembling hand, and poured out a beige round particle from it and handed it into her mouth.
After a few breaths, she stabilized her figure, leaning on the floor-to-ceiling window as if she was a little tired, the light shone into the office from behind, and Lin Xiaojia's figure was shrouded in it, isolated by loneliness.
"Target, at a distance of 9 km, entered the position after 4 minutes and 30 seconds. A voice came from the device in Lin Xiaojia's ear.
"Target details. Lin Xiaojia said as he walked towards the wardrobe by the wall.
"Nine black Honda Accord 10th generation, speed 118 per hour, longitudinal formation, An identification data shows that it is a low-class skeleton, and the possibility of high-level skeletons hiding in it is not ruled out, and it is recommended to use long-range weapons. ”
"No, help me prepare a large vehicle, the kind that can close the road with one. ”
"Understood, confirm permissions. ”
"The executor's code is cremated, and the authorization is confirmed. ”
"Authorization confirmed. ”
There was a tick in the headset, and the call ended, at this time, Lin Xiaojia had already changed into black skinny jeans and took off her army-green casual coat, she picked up the red king leaning against the window with one hand, and threw the coat on the sofa casually.
"Lao Zhang?" As Lin Xiaojia asked, the channel of the channel-heavy communicator was reopened, and a hearty male voice came out of the communicator.
"Hey, I'm here. ”
"Here they are, ready to go. ”
"Ouch, it's finally here, okay, I've settled the account here, and I'll be there in three minutes. Boss!
How much can you eat? Lin Xiaojia sighed silently in her heart, cut off the call, she took off the long black windbreaker from the hanger at the door, draped it on her body, and opened the door of the office.
Two minutes later, she was already on the tanker truck that the Eagle Falcon had prepared for him. The Eagle is always quick and reliable in his movements, and he is undoubtedly an expert when it comes to reconnaissance operations and support.
At this time, the key of the tanker truck has been inserted, Lin Xiaojia started the car, slowly parked near the entrance of the elevated road, and turned on the double flash, at this time there is still about a minute and a half before the target is in place, Lao Zhang is also in place, the red king is lying quietly in the passenger seat at this time, and the red king in the state of fire is like a replica of the medieval broadsword.
Lin Xiaojia stretched out her hand and slowly stroked the body of the Red King's sword, its material was ordinary steel to the touch, remembering the scene when she first woke up this sword, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.
At this time, it was the rush hour of the city, and there were many vehicles at the entrances and exits, because her giant tanker truck blocked it, and there were waves of impatient horns behind her.
"Fifteen seconds later, the designated position is reached. The sound of the falcon sounded in her ears, and Lin Xiaojia's attention was withdrawn from the Red King's side, and she started the tanker, and the low roar rose and fell with the sound of the whistle outside the window.
"Lao Zhang, help me clear the way!"
"Howler!"
As soon as Lao Zhang's voice fell, the crowded traffic in front of him suddenly parted to both sides, and each car turned its head to the left and right in an unusually orderly manner, leaving a passage in the center of the road that was just enough for the tanker truck to pass through.
Lin Xiaojia started, she drove the car to start, slowly drove into the uphill of the entrance, where her front car went, the front row of vehicles seemed to have been agreed to avoid in an orderly manner, she was like the owner of this road, and drove the car on the elevated road without any obstruction.
"The target reaches the exact location in five seconds. ”
"Understood, the action begins. Lao Zhang, expand the scope. ”
"Got it, you can cross it directly, it's no problem with me!"
At this time, Lao Zhang was sitting in a taxi in the center of the road, and the driver of the taxi did not honk his horn as usual to urge the advance of the vehicle in front of him, but drove the car silently without saying a word.
Sure enough, a high-speed convoy was occupying the emergency lane and approaching here. Lao Zhang was overjoyed, and put the two fingers of his left hand together on the side of his temple.
"Karajan!
The car flowed, from the entrance and exit of the elevated road as the dividing line, the rear vehicles all stopped moving forward, there was no noisy honking, orderly like a well-trained symphony orchestra, while the front row of vehicles did not stop, quickly formed a horizontal passage.
The same is true for the vehicles that were supposed to merge into the exit, and at the last moment, they all turned around and merged into the front row, leaving the entire exit empty.
"Girl, I'm done here!"
"Roger. ”
Lin Xiaojia released the clutch, pushed the gear lever directly into fourth gear, and then intervened with a foot of throttle in the limit state.
The tanker, which had been traveling at a constant speed, re-entered the acceleration state and rushed straight towards the other end of the elevated road. Lin Xiaojia poured the throttle to the end, and the tanker truck at this time was already an unstoppable forward attitude, and at the moment when he was about to hit the guardrail on the right side, Lin Xiaojia held the red king in his hand and jumped towards the right window.
The convoy occupying the emergency lane also reached the exit at about the same time, and the driver apparently noticed the tanker truck that had crossed the entire road in an unobstructed manner, and applied the brakes with all his might.
It was too late, the harsh and coherent sound of rubber rubbing against the asphalt was heard, and the surface of the rubber tire melted and emitted a pungent smell.
The tanker truck made a loud noise after the last end hit the guardrail. There was not enough braking distance, and the first car crashed headlong into the side of the tanker, sparks splashed, followed by the second, third, and fourth cars directly grazed the guardrail and flew sideways, flipped over a few times and smashed the roof on the road. The tanker truck finally couldn't withstand such a violent collision and overturned.
Lin Xiaojia jumped out of the car window just a second before all this happened, she adjusted her body in the air, and her hands were on the hilt of the Red King's knife.
"Red King, disease!"
The girl's drink sounded in this series of noisy crashes, and the scarlet flames that appeared from the tip of the Red King's sword spread in an instant, like a flower blooming out of thin air, warm and decisive.
