Chapter 139: The Killer in the Early Morning

At the same time, in another corner of North America.

In a hotel room of a chain hotel.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

A figure could be seen standing under the shower head in the glass door of the bathroom, flushing the water.

Beneath his feet, clean tap water washed over his body, turning into reddish blood and flowing into the drain.

……

A few minutes later.

He turned off the faucet, opened the glass door of the bathroom and walked out.

The naked body looked very thin, and the bones were narrower than those of a normal adult man, with fair skin, and the left and right rows of ribs were clearly visible, and he looked malnourished.

He flicked his dripping hair.

Then he began to pick up a pair of metal-rimmed glasses on the sink, rinsed them on the wash basin to wash off the blood stains on the lenses, and then took a few tissues to wipe the glasses very carefully and hung them on his face.

He wiped the water vapor from the mirror on the sink and stared at himself in the mirror for more than ten seconds.

……

This face is the same person who followed Rowe's footsteps and found the Bruces - Johnny Alton.

Wait until he walks out of the bathroom.

Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Johnny had a look of disgust on his face.

The whole single room is like a slaughterhouse.

The walls, floors, beds, and curtains were all sprinkled with crimson blood, and the air conditioning in the room had been turned on to the maximum, but there was still a disgusting smell of blood in the whole room, and the blood on the ground had begun to dry up a little, and the slippers were sticky on it......

On the floor, a mangled corpse was lying at this time.

It looked like he had been attacked by a grizzly bear, and all the blood in the room was due to this unlucky guy.

……

Johnny walked to the couch as best he could, stepping on the ground that wasn't covered in blood.

He picked up a towel on the sofa, only to find that the towel was also stained with a lot of blood, and immediately frowned.

Dropping the towel, he opened the closet of the closet to see if there were any spare dry towels, only to find that the cupboard was empty.

Johnny sighed.

He was covered in dripping water, and it seemed he didn't like it.

So he picked up the landline in his room and dialed the front desk.

"Room 1003, please bring my breakfast, and I also need a dry towel, thank you."

"Hello sir, your breakfast was delivered ten minutes ago." On the other end of the line, there was a response from the front desk attendant.

Johnny glanced at the corpse lying on the ground in a waiter's uniform, the breakfast that had been scattered next to the corpse, and said lightly into the phone, "I didn't get my breakfast." ”

"Oh, maybe our staff was negligent, please wait a minute, I'll have someone deliver what you need to the room."

"Just leave something at my door, thank you."

With that, Johnny hung up.

He leaned against the sofa, looked a little irritable, reached out and pinched his brows, and muttered to himself:

"It's not always like this......"

……

After a few moments, a waiter knocked on the door and said, "Hello sir, I have left what you need at the door." ”

……

At this time, Johnny didn't seem to hear the voice of the waiter outside the door at all.

His attention was entirely focused on the TV screen, which was always on and muted.

Johnny rummaged around the room, found the TV's remote control, and turned up the audio.

At this time, a news report was being played on the TV screen about the "terrorist attack" in the city of Hilo.

Some short videos taken by onlookers were even directly played on the screen.

Including the scene of Luo and Kane fighting each other in the fire, although it was only a brief flash, it was still captured by Johnny's gaze!

Too many images of bloody violence have not been put into the news.

And the rest of the news content is basically a group of waste experts gathered around to analyze this strange incident.

In addition to this, there are also some public statements from the government about the incident.

Of course, Johnny doesn't care about any of that.

The two figures he saw on the fleeting picture just now, a vague one-armed man and the young man, were what he was concerned about.

Turning off the TV, Johnny pulled out his laptop.

After landing on the Internet, he realized that almost the whole world was discussing this incident.

Netizens wouldn't be so enthusiastic about a large-scale terrorist attack, in fact, they were talking about the metal robots captured in the videos uploaded to the Internet earlier and the boy who pulled the steel bar out of his chest and was unharmed.

Although these videos were blocked by the entire network in a very short period of time.

But there are still some "enthusiastic netizens" who have saved it.

……

Johnny squinted slightly as he looked at the many reports on the computer screen with the word "shocked."

He didn't continue to browse through other related content, but just packed up his things.

After bringing in the breakfast and dry towel he had asked for from the door, eating a few bites and drying himself and getting dressed, he left the room with his backpack and cap.

"Hilo City, ......"

……

At the same time, Luo and Zack, who had already left Hilo City and arrived at the "base camp" without incident, slept comfortably until dawn.

After a bloody fight, Luo had to admit that he was also very tired, and when he came back, he didn't even bother to wash the cigarette ash on his body, and just turned his head down and rested.

And Zack, he walked up the stairs from the 100th floor to the underground parking lot, which was already a great test of physical fitness for him, and since he came back, he has been shouting that he has back pain or something.

It's early the next morning.

Luo had woken up early, and took a shower to wash off all the shards of glass and gasoline soot on his body, and put on a new set of clothes.

Surprisingly, Zach didn't wake up as he normally would.

Because at a very early age, before Law even woke up, Zach was awakened by something.

He was sleeping on the couch, and on the other end of the couch was his laptop.

As usual, Zach fell asleep looking at the computer screen.

So after he fell asleep, the computer was still running.

But early this morning, when the sun hasn't fully come out.

A popping sound sent Zach out of the couch in fright.

……

His computer screen blew up!

Zack subconsciously thought that someone was coming to sneak attack again, and rushed directly to the garage in a half-asleep state, dragging a rifle without a magazine and rushing back, only to find that only the exploded notebook in the hall was "squeaking" and sparking......

……

"I don't know why, the target of those killers is actually my computer, their snipers smashed my computer and never shot again, probably because they were frightened by the way I was holding a rifle, maybe they thought what I was investigating recently was more important, so they sent someone to destroy my computer, it must be like this......"

in the living room.

Zach sat on the couch and told Law what had happened before.

Law sat across from Zach with a cup full of boiled water, glancing at the unloaded rifle on the table, and then at the smoking notebook on the couch.

"So, those killers destroyed your computer?"

"That's right, that's what it looks like." Zach nodded earnestly.

“……”

Law gave Zach a faint look.

……

Finally, after Rowe threatens Zach to break his leg if he brags about it, Zach tells the truth.

……

"I've checked the circuit board, and it should have been damaged by some kind of electromagnetic wave that caused damage to the internal system of the computer, and in addition to that, the same thing happened to some of our other electronic products that were in operation."

Zach pulled out a phone from his backpack that was also smoking and placed it in front of Law, who seemed to have no memory of the story he had boasted about the killer earlier, and recounted his findings with a very normal and natural expression.

"What electromagnetic waves?" Luo glanced at the phone with a sparse screen on the desktop.

"Good question, after an hour of my research, I think the culprit should be this thing, follow me ......"

Zach got up and walked towards the garage.

Luo didn't know what the hell this guy was up to, but he patiently followed.

……

Moments later, Rowe and Zach appeared in the garage filled with various weapons.

"Why didn't you bring this thing back?"

"I forgot."

"Your mother'......"

……

Law looked at the contents of the trunk of the sports car, not knowing what to say.

"What's the matter, I'm clever enough, this priceless thing, when I went to pick you up last night, I found it in a scrapped truck, so I got it back, hehehe, now we have made a fortune." Zach said to Law with a grin.

At this time, in the trunk of the sports car, there is the energy cube that was auctioned at a sky-high price.

The pure silver metallic luster surface of the energy cube is divided into some crystal lines, and at this time, it seems that the occasional faint light flashing within these crystal lines can be faintly seen.

"So you mean, that's what electromagnetic waves are emitting that make your computer and phone explode?" Luo said, pointing to the energy cube in the trunk.

"Yes, I'm 100% sure of that, because I've detected the same electromagnetic effect on this thing." Zach nodded, and continued: "According to the introduction of the host at the auction, this thing can absorb various forms of energy, and can also store energy and release it through various forms, electromagnetic waves are also a form of energy. If I'm not mistaken, a small part of the energy from the explosion on the road last night was absorbed and stored by it, and I just don't know why it was suddenly released in electromagnetic form......"

"It's good that it's just electromagnetic waves." Law glanced at Zach.

"Also, we're lucky, if we change to the kind of polymer energy we used in the auction, we can probably tear down this building." Zach nodded approvingly.

"And what are you going to do with your stuff?"

"I don't know." Law shook his head.

The reason why he wanted to steal the energy cube in the first place was just to attract its real owner to come to him.

And just a few hours ago, most of the people who came to recycle the energy cube had been slaughtered by him, but unfortunately they didn't get any real gain.

Kane turned into a puddle of molten metal, and the rest of the people were taken back by the return device, leaving no bodies behind.

Luo wasn't sure if keeping this energy cube would still attract the other party to the door, and he was somewhat worried that if this thing was very important to the other party, after Kane's defeat, the next time the other party came to the door would definitely not have the same level of force as Kane.

Whether they can handle it is still a question, after all, there are only two of them now......

No, if you fight, you can only count one person.

Thinking of this, Luo subconsciously glanced at Zack.

Zach was a little hairy by him.

"What?"

"Nope."

……

Suddenly, Law realized that they were indeed a little weak now, and it would be very troublesome to deal with multiple guys like Kane at the same time, but he forgot one thing, he now had a weapon of mass destruction worth tens of billions of dollars in his hands - the energy cube.

Luo suddenly found that the hot potato in the trunk looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.

"Can you figure this thing out?" Law asked Zach by pointing to the energy cube.

"Uh, what do you mean? What is considered ...... Got it? ”

"Just figure out how to use it to kill people." Luo said.

"That's right...... I thought you wanted me to figure out the principle and internal structure of this thing, if you just figure out how to use it, it shouldn't be a problem, even if I can't figure it out myself, I can directly hack into Doug's internal system to see if they have any relevant records, after all, they have successfully demonstrated it once at the auction, and there should be some research reports. Zach nodded.

"Okay, figure it out as soon as possible, we might need it." Law said to Zack.

"Huh? Wait, don't we sell it for money? Just find an auction or something, blood earn yes brother! Zach said abruptly.

"......" Luo didn't speak, just looked at Zach quietly.

About five seconds later.

"I'm going to hack Doug's intranet right now."

Zach dropped a sentence and walked away.

……

Luo stayed alone in the garage and carefully took the energy cube out of the trunk of the sports car.
