Chapter 24: The Celebration Begins
The day was quickly over, and the two of them returned to the place where they had been separated from each other with the information they had gathered, and found a nearby hotel to stay in. The two sat down and began exchanging intelligence information gathered today.
"First of all," said Gray, "according to what I heard, the day after tomorrow, the mayor will announce the start of a selection process, and the reward for those who pass this selection is to go to Raguil for further study, and I think we can take the opportunity to try this may be an opportunity to get close to Cole. This source is the army aristocracy of the two Upper Towns. I think it should still be reliable. β
Yin Hao nodded after hearing this, and then continued: "There is something strange on my side, I met Zhuo Zhuo today. She is the head of the celebration security team. I think we can also start with her to get closer to Cole. And the weirdest thing is that today I ran into an Inhuman who used his abilities on me. β
Gray was shocked, "What are you fighting?"
"No, that's the weirdest part, his ability isn't aggressive, it's something like a stand-in. And his purpose, I think, is to pass on the word to me. The rumor probably said that the celebration the day after tomorrow would be attacked by terrorists, and many innocent people would be implicated at that time. Whether it's true or not, we need to pay close attention. Be sure to protect the ordinary Inhuman inhabitants and not let them be harmed. Gray nodded.
The information of the two people, constantly overlapping, all pointed to the anniversary celebration the day after tomorrow. It seems that this day is destined to be unusually dangerous.
Time passed quickly, and during this period, Yin Hao and Gray were still collecting intelligence separately, but the effect was not significant. It's all trivial. It was the day of the celebration that soon came.
As Yin Hao thought before, the large square for the opening of this celebration was crowded with people, and there were about tens of thousands of people. However, at this time, Yin Hao and the others were not as optimistic and excited as the crowd present waiting for the opening of the celebration, at this time, they were not interested in this celebration at all, they were only thinking about how to prevent a sudden terrorist attack, and how to successfully qualify for the trial.
And at this moment, they actually saw Zhang Xiaobei holding his grandmother standing not far from them, and they were also looking forward to the opening of the celebration. Yin Hao walked over with Gray, said hello, and then stood beside them and waited for the opening. During this period, Zhang Xiaobei left alone for a while by looking for the bathroom.
The day before the celebration, just in case, Yin Hao and the others had already found Zhuo Zhuo and told her about the possible terrorist attack, and Zhuo Zhuo had also reported it to his superiors, so the security force present today has increased several times. I even heard that there was a unit on standby outside the city. But despite this, Yin Hao still couldn't help but worry, it might be an old problem that had been on the battlefield before, and he always felt that things were not so simple.
The opening ceremony still came as scheduled, and amid the cheers and cheers of countless Inhuman residents, a middle-aged man who looked kind but looked very tough walked onto the front platform under the protection of a group of bodyguards. Picked up the microphone. This man doesn't have to guess to know that he is the mayor of Uriel and the founder of the city of supernatural abilities, Cole.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the inhabitants of the city of Uri, welcome to us, today is the second anniversary of the completion of our core city, and today we all stand here with excitement, and we should be proud and proud that we have survived this cataclysm and are living happily here, even though we are still facing war. The war is also spreading, but we must firmly believe that the Inhumans will win the final victory, the pattern of the world has changed, and the Inhumans with special abilities are the proof that the world has been perfectly evolved. In the future, we will have 3 anniversaries, 5 anniversaries, or even 10 years. We need to remember that we are the people of the city of Uriel. For today's celebration, we have prepared a lot of performances, performances and parades. Enjoy today, let's raise our glasses and celebrate a better tomorrow in Uriret!" said Cole, who took the hand from behind him and held it high above his head. Instantly, the fireworks began to bloom in the air, and although they looked like fireworks, they were actually fire-based ability users manipulating their own abilities to blast in the air. There is a bit of the usual style of the city of Uri.
Just when everyone was attracted by the fireworks, the figure of the stand-in alien appeared behind Yin Hao again.
"East side of the square, bombs. Yin Hao and Gray immediately turned around when they heard this, but all of a sudden, the stand-in ability disappeared again.
"Gray, did you hear that?" Yin Hao asked Xiang Zhilei
Gray nodded and said, "Are you going? β
"The trap is going to go too, do you know how many people will die if it does? Gray, you go find Zhuo Zhuo, and I'll go to the east side to see. Yin Hao said
"What if there really is a bomb?" Gray asked.
"Do what you have to do. Just go. Then the two of them split up and began to run in the direction of the mission. The square was already large, but now it was still crowded with people, Gray directly manipulated the black thunder to fly towards the distant garrison.
Yin Hao was more miserable, and wanted to jump up with the power of the Dragon Emperor, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find a foothold, so he could only squeeze hard little by little, pushing the crowd towards the east side of the square, and moving with difficulty little by little. Besides, where would such a big bomb be on the east side of the square?
In fact, Yin Hao's location at the beginning was not very far from the east side of the square, but after such a squeeze, it was supposed to be ten minutes away and walked for 20 minutes. When he came to the east side and kept looking around, the fireworks were still going off, and the parade floats kept touring around the square. Yin Hao searched with difficulty to no avail, and did not rule out the possibility of human bombs, he did his best to check the suspicious people around him one by one. But again, there is no problem.
Is this really just a prank? Yin Hao's brain kept thinking.
Wait, the east side, in fact, it doesn't have to be a stationary bomb. If there is a target for a terrorist attack, it will be the most likely target for Mayor Cole, and the bomb on the east side can only hit Coleγγγγγγγ
"The parade float!" Yin Hao immediately figured out that the bomb on the east side was likely to be placed on the parade float that started from the east side, and the terrorists must have driven the float and detonated it immediately before it reached the platform. When the time comes, it can not only kill the mayor, but also cause panic.
Although Yin Hao is not very sure, in the current situation, this is not impossible. Dead horses should be live horse doctors
Yin Hao asked several strangers around him what the parade float parked here looked like, and everyone surprisingly gave the same answer, a particularly huge float decorated with plant elements, because there was such a park here. Everything was too coincidental, Yin Hao was suspicious for a moment, but now he can't care so much, he wants to find this parade float with huge plant decorations, and then stop this terrorist attack.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was too late for Yin Hao to squeeze into the central square now, in this case, he could only give it a go, Yin Hao walked directly onto the runway where the parade float was driving, and then with the power of the Dragon Emperor, he gathered all of them on his feet, chasing and overtaking every parade vehicle at a very fast speed.
At this time, on the float decorated with huge plants, the driver was pale and expressionless. He looked like he was being controlled at the moment, and when he drove only a few hundred meters away from the platform, he directly stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the people on the platform.
