Chapter 55: The Night Stalker

By the time Liang Huihe and the other gentlemen rushed back to Chinatown, the fire had already spread to the entire Chinatown, many of which had been burned to the ground, and the forklifts and soldiers of the Health Bureau had long since disappeared.

An old man in a melon skin hat with white hair and beard beside Liang Hui saw the fire all over the sky, his throat hissed, his eyes rolled and he fainted, Liang Hui hurriedly supported him, and beckoned his subordinates: "Take a few chairmen to rest, quickly!" ”

The other gentlemen either cried or scolded, completely devoid of grace and style, but the fire was ruthless, and they were each surrounded by their subordinates and pulled away.

Liang Hui also only ordered his subordinates with a gloomy face not to clash with foreigners, and sent people to evacuate residents to reduce casualties.

Zhen Lian's eyes were also red from the fire in front of her, and the family property and floating wealth she earned by playing tricks and ignoring her conscience were buried in this fire.

The feeling of the sky falling, Zhen Lian was blindsided for a while, and wanted to rush into the monstrous sea of fire to get his savings, but Liang Hui pulled it back, and the two struggled, Liang Hui slapped Zhen Lian twice before Zhen Lian stopped and stared at the fire with a pair of gloomy eyes.

"A few dilapidated houses, if they are gone, they are gone, and the people are still there."

Liang Hui couldn't hear the salty taste in his mouth.

He saw several charred corpses under the burnt beams, and the corners of his eyes twitched. beckoned his subordinates to come over and asked, "What about the surname Cha?" ”

The subordinates shook their heads blankly: "The fire is together, and I don't know where to go." ”

Zhen Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also asked, "Have you seen Mr. Li?" ”

The men shook their heads again.

Liang Hui sighed: "It's useless for anyone to be here right now." ”

"So what do we do?"

Zhen Lian's expression became excited again.

Liang Hui glanced at her: "Did you cry in the past and ask others what to do?" They haven't been here for a few days, and you won't even have a good day? ”

He faced the fire again: "Bear with it for now." ”

Hey?

Liang Hui suddenly let out a startled sigh, and he saw a young man wearing thick leather and steel equipment, his eyes red and rushing into the fire.

"The afterlife? Epigenetic? ”

Liang Hui saw that the young man had a kind face, as if he had seen it somewhere, so he shouted twice, but the other party was engulfed in fire in just an instant.

Flames, smoke, and tears. The heat burned his back through the iron and leather, and he just walked forward with red eyes.

He relied on the water cannon and machine arm that he had modified on the spot with the parts of a steam car to rude the way, and the mist and flames intertwined with a large expanse of steam, breaking through the most ferocious wall of fire on the periphery, and the smoke was all insoluble.

Chang Yu relied on his memory to walk the road that he had walked countless times, and his ears were full of the crackling sound of the flames burning the empty beams, and even he couldn't hear his own voice calling for swallows.

The impression of the apartment was almost burned out, and the smell of the air was indescribable. The flames fell from the sky one after another, Chang Yu used his arm to pick open the carbonized beams, the blood bubbles in his throat and eyes roared and cracked, and a shocking and unrecognizable charred corpse was turned out by Chang Yu, maybe the swallow is no longer here, maybe it has long been in it...... And Chang Yu just half-knelt on the ground, frantically digging over the corpse.

Inadvertently, a broken bullet case was turned out of the rubble, and the original shape of the bullet case was no longer visible, only a white slash and the three English letters Enf could be faintly seen. Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then, a stream of plasma that was about to explode rushed straight to the Tianling Gai, and before he could react, a half-suspended ball of fire hit Chang Yu's face, and in the severe pain, he lost consciousness.

————————————————

Chang Yu had a long dream, he crossed the ocean and shined at the World Expo. He wore a crisp suit to go in and out of high society drinking parties, refuted the arrogant people who vilified the Chinese to his face, he made a fortune through his patents, he bought the most expensive and extravagant fireworks, carried two train tickets back to the capital and a check for half a million dollars, he was ready to use this money to fund the education of his hometown, the ugly Qing government could only cultivate mediocre minions and refined bureaucrats, but he believed that the future of this land would not be like that.

On the train back to China, he gently hugged the beautiful woman in a beautiful cheongsam, as if he had endless love words with her.

Chang Yu kissed her passionately, and suddenly, thick smoke and flames rose from the beautiful girl in front of her, her skin and flesh festered and scorched black in an instant, and tongues of fire were swallowed in her hollow eye sockets, and Chang Yu felt a sharp pain on her face. Immediately, he opened his eyes.

He's alive.

He was lying in the tent where the wounded were rescued, and the smell of sweat, decoction, and pungent alcohol reached his nostrils.

"I've seen you, your name is Chang Yu."

Liang Hui sat on the ground, and the moaning in the tent was endless.

"You were looking for your girl, right? But I guess you didn't make it. After all, no one can identify those charred corpses. Think about it from another angle, maybe the girl is still alive. ”

Liang Hui comforted dryly, although he also scoffed at his own words in his heart.

"You saved me?"

When he spoke, Chang Yu was surprised to find that his throat was burned out, and the sound he made was like a cat's claw scratching glass.

"You deserve to be saved, you are a young man with a bright future."

"Where's Li Yan?"

Liang Hui shook his head: "My people are looking for the two of them everywhere, but to no avail. ”

Chang Yu groaned and sat down.

"You should have heard the name of Hesheng, if you need anything in the future, you can always come to me."

Chang Yu ignored him, found a basin of water, and looked at himself in the water.

The bridge of the nose collapsed, and the cheeks were burned through several large holes, and the gums and even the tongue could be seen. The festering scar passed through his neck, making Chang Yu's face look like a demon.

"Chinatown is in short supply of wound medicine, and I've already called someone to treat the wound, but I'm sorry."

"No, thanks, I have to go."

Chang Yu stood up.

"Wait, let's take a look at this first."

Liang Hui handed a thick book with a black cover and a golden stone to Chang Yu: "These two things were found in the fire, they were not burned, the one surnamed Cha never let go of these two things before he disappeared, I asked someone to see them, in addition to the strange words, there are many patterns of instruments, maybe useful, I sent them to you, if you find them, it's good to give them back to him." ”

Chang Yu looked at the book and stone in Liang Hui's hand in a daze for a while.

Liang Hui looked at Chang Yu meaningfully: "Young man, you still have a long way to go, don't do stupid things." ”

Chang Yu glanced back at Liang Hui gloomily, took the things in his hand, turned around and left.

In the makeshift tent where the moans continued, only one sentence with a voice as high as an owl's voice remained.

"I've been smart for over twenty years, sir."
