Chapter 14: The Gods Are Dead

Previous Chapter

In 2074 A.D., Donghua City.

Today's weather in Donghua City is very bad, dark clouds obscure the sky, the cold rain like cow's hair laps on the building, and the water marks on the glass are dissipated in an instant and washed again.

Tang Lin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looked at the rain-soaked world outside the window, and muttered to himself, "After I go home tonight, I have to wash the car again." He imagined in his mind that his Lamborghini, which was worth tens of millions, was splashed with sewage and mud on the road, and he was very dissatisfied. It's not because his car is expensive, it's just that he doesn't like things getting dirty.

Tang Lin is the chairman of the Tang Dynasty Trading Company, and his office is located on the top floor of the company building, "I like the feeling of unobstructed views. This was his answer when the secretary asked him why he had the top floor as his office.

His company's assets are quite abundant, and the overall strength is among the top 100 in the East. This is not because of how successful his business strategy is, but because of the cooperation with "those people" - the top summit. "After all, those masters are still powerful!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, his work has been done today, but in order to set an example for the company's employees, he must leave work on time.

Tang Lin was wandering leisurely in the office, and suddenly the chandelier on the ceiling made a "stinging" sound, and then the entire office lost its lighting and went dark.

He ran to the computer in confusion, the computer screen was still on, which made him quite unhappy, the design and installation of the chandelier obviously invited the best company, but now it is not half a year before it is broken, he grabbed the phone on the table, dialed the secretary's phone.

"The lights in the office are broken, when you were asked to order, what brand were you looking for, the quality was too poor!"

"The lights in the office... It was Tang Dong, you ordered it yourself..."Before the secretary could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tang Lin.

"Okay! No more nonsense, find someone to fix it. ”

"Yes, yes!" hung up the phone, Tang Lin waited for a while, but the light still didn't come on. The secretary's phone rang again.

"What's the matter, it's not fixed yet?" he looked impatient.

"That's right, Tang Dong, I asked the circuit maintenance master to check it just now, and he said that the circuit here is fine, it may be that some of the circuits in your room are faulty, and you have to go to your office to take a look." ”

This made Tang Lin quite unhappy, it was about to be time to get off work, and he still wanted to go home early to play the recent new game Final Fantasy 40, if it was repaired in his office, not to mention the many valuables in his room, and some of the information that could only be seen by himself, forget it, he could only go back later today.

"Well, let him come. ”

After a while, there was a calm knock at the door. "Hello Mr. Tang, I'm here to repair the lights. A male voice rang out outside the door.

Tang Lin ran to open the door, and the moment he held the doorknob, he hesitated, everything that happened from just now to the present always made him feel a sense of disobedience, as if there was something wrong, but he couldn't say it.

"Mr. Tang, are you busy with something?" the male voice sounded a little crisp.

Tang Lin shook his head, it must be that he has been cranky after playing too many games recently.

But he opened the door in the next moment, and found that his sixth sense was still accurate, because before he could see the other party clearly, a pitch-black pistol had already pressed against his head.

The man in front of him was dressed in an electrician's suit, but he was wearing a pitch-black mask, Tang Lin recognized this mask, if it was right, in front of him should be one of the world's number one rebels - Luo!

"Recognize me. The man's voice was low and unheaving.

"Recognize, recognize. Tang Lin had already forced himself to calm down, but the gun was on his head, and he couldn't let go.

"Then you should know why I came to you, right?" the man asked.

"Ahh No, I don't know, if you want money or something, I'll give it to you. Tang Lin shook his head in confusion.

"Don't pretend to be stupid here!" the man's hand holding the gun exerted force, and the muzzle of the gun left a purple-red mark on Tang Lin's head. The finger close to the trigger was slightly curved, as if the bullet would come out of the chamber in the next second.

"Ahhh Tang Lin was frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand and said the answer that the man wanted.

"If you don't want to die, if you know, just say it, where is White now!"

"Ah, I said, I said, I said it all. But before that, I want to ask, how do you know that Master White's escort mission is contracted by our company?"

The masked man listened to Tang Lin's question, was stunned for some reason, and then resumed his attitude just now. "Just answer the questions obediently, don't ask superfluous questions!"

"Ahh

"Where's Brunie?" the masked man was a little confused, "Say it quickly!"

For a moment, the whole office was silent, and the sound of raindrops beating outside the window could be heard through the thick glass, and the next moment the sound of "di" sounded out of nowhere.

"Brunie's... I'll tell you when I go to hell!" Tang Lin changed his expression of cringe, and instead of a wild grin on his face, he didn't care that the muzzle of the gun was facing him, and drilled under the desk, and suddenly eight gun emplacements were lowered from the ceiling of his office, and the lasers fired at the masked man in unison.

"Void Light Cannon! The masked man flashed two lasers sideways, and then took out a diamond-shaped grip from the satchel that was supposed to contain an electrician's tool, and instantly injected virtual energy, and the light in the diamond began to spread, becoming a light shield, blocking the light cannon.

At this time, Tang Lin had already sounded the alarm, and within two minutes, the entire building would be on high alert, and what was worse was that he notified the escort team, and he could already see in his field of vision that several escort mechs had begun to rush towards this side.

A decision must be made right away!, the masked man thought, and a voice came from his headphones, "Mission complete, it's time to come back." Hearing the report from his teammates, he decisively rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Tang Lin could have stopped him at this time, but he didn't, "In the tide of the times." He said to the masked man, "I'm just a pile of quicksand scattered by the wind. ”

The masked man glanced at him, then kicked the glass with his body, jumped down, and then turned around in an instant, took out a short sword from his satchel, injected it with virtual energy, and the short sword instantly doubled and inserted into the glass. This is 120 meters in the air, and even if he falls, the result of his fall will inevitably be death.

The dagger rubbed violently against the surface of the building, and the sound of "smack" was heard endlessly. The people in the building watched in amazement at what was happening in front of them, because it was a shot that had never been seen in the movie.

The fall has already used all his strength, but the speed of the fall has not slowed down, and it is estimated that the short sword will break due to the inability to support it if it slides for dozens of meters, and then there will be only a dead end.

"In that case," he thought to himself, "let's give it a go." He used the void energy of his whole body to strengthen his lower limbs, and his legs instantly exerted force, and then he let go and jumped in the other direction. This jump successfully reached another building. Then he turned his void energy to his arms, and in an instant he grabbed the railing on the roof of the building.

"Squeak!" he heard the sound of dislocated bones and tearing muscles, and even though he used his virtual energy to suppress the pain nerves, he could still feel the heart-rending pain.

But he didn't care so much, and with both hands, he pulled himself up to the rooftop.

Finally returned to the ground, but Luo was still surrounded by the escort.

The escort consisted of about 50 people, led by a man with long blue hair. 20 of the 50 are equipped with power armor that is about 3 meters tall and powered by virtual energy

"You are so bold, Mr. Luo, this is Donghua City, the most heavily guarded city in the East. The blue-haired man said lazily. "Or is it ~ that there is more enticing information hidden here, more enticing than this danger!" the man's expression suddenly tensed, like a beast ready to prey.

However, in the next second, this aura dissipated, "Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing, all the staff listen to the order, it's best to catch it alive, it doesn't hurt if you can't catch it and kill it directly, action... Let's go!"

The entire army acted in an instant, lined up, strafed, and the electrician uniform that fell on the roof had been replaced, replaced by armor as black and hideous as the mask, he injected void energy, the armor emitted a faint red light, and each hand held a void lightsaber.

He rushed forward at great speed, and the lightsaber in both hands cut and bounced all the bullets like a spiraling gale, and even so, many bullets still hit him, leaving grooves in the armor that were hit by the bullets, and some of them pierced through the armor and entered his body, but he did not slow down at all. In a few seconds, he burst into the troops, his hands were injected with more virtual energy, and the light of the two swords instantly increased. "Flame Spiral Lotus Blossom!" he roared, like a hurricane slicing the soldier's limbs apart, even the power armor could not stop his razor-sharp blade.

"Try to distance yourself from the enemy!Quickly switch melee weapons!" the blue-haired man commanded from behind.

The soldiers who reacted quickly changed into the mechanical swords and shields on their backs, and Luo swung his lightsaber and smashed it on the shield of the soldier closest to him, making a "knock!" sound, the soldier stumbled, and Luo took the opportunity to cut off the soldier's head directly......

The battle went on and on, endlessly, and the troops, which had originally consisted of only fifty men, increased to two hundred when reinforcements arrived. A sword pierced into the power core of the mobile armor, but was kicked away by a sweep from the opponent, and as soon as he landed in the air to find the right balance, the four soldiers chased after him, and two of the four swords were pierced into the body of Luo, and the troops in the distance organized a shooting formation, and the next wave of bullets was coming soon......

Tang Lin looked at everything that was happening on the street from the broken glass, and the torrential rain hit his face, but he was unmoved.

"In this era when the gods are dead" When he said this, a trace of pathos appeared on Tang Lin's face, "Only you are still holding on, Luo, ah no, it should be better to call you lonely, right?"
