CH.16 Don't Slip on a Snowy Day (8)
"What are you doing?" A big fat man in suspender pants asked indignantly, "Your mother won't let us eat more, but you can take whatever you want, what is the reason?" Could it be that if you are a sheriff, you can use your power for personal gain? This behavior is especially shameful in these extraordinary times! β
"I didn't use my power for personal gain," Fang Tian argued with reason, "There are still several people in our police station who are starving, everyone is from the same town, is it wrong to bring them something to eat?" β
"We already have a lot of people, and there is not enough food to spare, who still invites you to come? How the food is distributed should be voted on! The man felt that he had said this beautifully, and he became more and more triumphant. Obviously, everyone is inclined to his statement, and if he had voted, the result would have been fair, but not correct.
Fang's mother spoke: "The food reserves here are very rich, enough for the thirty of us to eat for more than three months, but there are still many families trapped in the town, which one doesn't need to eat?" You only occasionally go into the supermarket to take refuge, and what power do the few have to take the food and not distribute it to everyone? β
"Don't talk to me, don't think about it anyway," said the big fat man, arrogantly, "isn't your daughter a policeman?" Isn't there a gun? Do you have what it takes to shoot me? But want to take a cookie scrap from here, guys, do you promise? β
His words echoed at least twenty people in unison, and the situation became more and more serious and complicated.
Just as everyone was entangled, there was a loud roar outside, accompanied by many familiar voices, and a desperate howl was issued. When Teng Yue judged that it was actually from inside the police station, there was a sound of houses collapsing outside, which was particularly terrifying in the lonely snow.
Fang Tian heard the dying cries of several police officers and Duncan, Gralis and Old Marcus, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he was about to rush out with a spear, Teng Yue suddenly pounced and hugged her desperately. Fang Tian's pain of losing his father was like a knife cut, his heart was like ashes, and without hesitation, he slapped Teng Yue five or six times in a row, Teng Yue was stunned at first, and then suffered it very calmly. Fang Tian practiced grappling at the police academy, and also learned amateur taekwondo for a while in the United States, and his hand strength was not small, Teng Yue's nose was smashed out of blood, and it flowed warmly into the person, and went into his mouth, a burst of saltiness. Fang Tian cried and shouted, "You bastard! You bastard! ......" Teng Yue slowly tried to hug her, but she didn't resist.
Teng Yue muttered, "I will protect you...... I want to live and die with you......"
Mother Fang saw it in her eyes, and there was a faint kind of approval and relief.
The rest of the people were not so calm, and the big fat man, who was already very arrogant, asked tremblingly, "Just now...... What was that ...... just now? No matter how small the police station is, it is a two-story house, how can it be ......? β
The black man who despised the foreigner comforted himself and said, "Yes! Aren't those monsters only able to move in the snow? β
Fang Mu seemed to say to herself, "Maybe the mother beast was dug up...... Andrey, this ** raised! She raised her head and said aloud, "Everyone! Mayor Andre has obtained permission from the government to reopen the old mine that was filled in in the first place, and these monsters were drilled out from a few hundred meters deep in the mine! She was not loud, perhaps afraid of the monsters outside, but the sound overwhelmed all the noise and pierced everyone's eardrums clearly.
Of course, everyone will not believe the words of outsiders, and more importantly, the mayor has gathered the funds of the vast majority of the townspeople in the town to invest in the production, and everyone does not want the money to be wasted before the benefits are generated.
But this caused panic among some of the poorer families of the others, whose only prime men were instigated by Andre to go to the mines to contract to work and earn a share of their strength, and if the monster came from the mines, wouldn't they be dangerous? Several middle-aged women hid their faces and wept.
Teng Yue was afraid that these chaotic sounds would attract the attention of the monster in the snow, and wanted to remind everyone to be quiet, but suddenly he felt that the sky was spinning, and his feet were unstable, he had practiced kung fu, and finally did not fall, but just hugged Fang Tian and leaned firmly against the wall, while the rest of the people were all on all fours, or knocked over the cargo rack. Such an impact naturally triggered a sharper cry, and then the behemoth outside was stimulated and slammed into one after another with more excitement.
At this time, Teng Yue's faint feeling in his heart was that the question that something was wrong really took shape, and Fang Mu, who already made him feel weird, was like being nailed to the floor, not moving at all. She turned to Teng Yue and said simply and clearly: "Take care of her and give her happiness ......"
At this moment, an off-road vehicle facing outside was overturned by a strong force born in the snow like a toy, and it turned completely in the air before hitting the ground heavily. Teng Yue was shocked, and he could vaguely estimate the size of this monster's body. The place where the off-road vehicle overturned was a small flower bed, and the stone fence of the flower bed had been broken. Teng Yue suddenly saw that in the center of the flower bed was a stone sculpture three or four meters high, it was an ordinary man dressed as a coachman in the Qing Dynasty, described as withered and thin, but a pair of eyes seemed to be not stone carvings, as if they were flashing with an awe-inspiring and inviolable anger, and each hand held a delicate knife, as if it could burst out at any time. This stone carving is lifelike, and although it is in the West, it is by no means European and American style, but pure "made in ancient China". This is the legendary Oriental bodyguard who used a hidden weapon? The most amazing thing is that even if there are snowflakes floating above the stone sculpture, the stone sculpture itself does not have a trace of white, even the surrounding flower beds, could it be that this legendary Chinese has manifested his spirit?
Before he could think clearly, the door was like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© being slammed open, and the snowflakes were blown in by the fierce wind, and everyone was so blinded by this dazzling whiteness that they couldn't open their eyes. And Teng Yue and Fang Tian could only see the shadow of a weak woman in the white light, their hands raised, and dozens of small black objects shot out in an instant, with a long stamina, more and more......
Outside the empty gate, a thick layer of snow fluttered like flour on the panels, and then from below there was a hellish roar, the door frame cracked, shards splattered, and an indescribable behemoth arched in, and a large patch of mottled black rose from the pure white. Although I didn't see the whole outline of it, I was sure that it wasn't some kind of demon or hellish creature, except that it was a creature that everyone had never seen before, like a combination of bats, dragonflies and fish, but with a face that resembled an ugly crocodile or monitor lizard, and a pair of giant claws that looked like crabs or lobsters at the front. Its two antennae as long as a dragon's whisker but as thin as a toothpick are still trembling weakly, each with a hole at the tip, but it is not easy to find in the snow, piercing the snow to provide breathing, and can measure the amplitude of the ground to trip people or other creatures. Even more bizarrely, it has fish-like gills that are opening and closing, while its locust-like soft, disgusting belly is also slightly wriggling, and its multiple breathing channels indicate that there may be extremely stable and abundant oxygen levels deep underground, and even vast groundwater distribution. The abdomen was bleeding with thick yellow body fluids disgustingly, and Teng Yue saw that its whole body was nailed with all kinds of sharp knives and darts, and there were nearly a hundred of them, perhaps because of the speed, the blades were warm red, and they were steaming white like they had been roasted, no wonder they could be inserted into such a solid body.
Fang Tian seemed to have never seen his mother, and suddenly a wave of fear surged up: "Mom...... Mom, you'...... Who the hell are you? β
Mother Fang shook her head painfully, and said gloomily: "Tian Tian, mother has no way to give you the life of an ordinary person...... You may not understand a word of what I am about to say, but there is no time to explain it now, and if you meet one of us by chance in the future, you may understand everything, but now you just need to listen to me quietly...... One hundred and sixty-eight years ago, I fell in love with my senior brother Ah Ye. But Ah Ye is more than ten years older than me and has a wife, he loves his wife very much, and only treats me as a little sister, which makes my heart cut like a knife...... My father is Ah Ye's master, and he is also one of the four most powerful cadres in the organization, he hopes that I can marry the president's godson An Meng, in order to consolidate his power, although Ah Ye is his beloved apprentice, how to say that he is also from a poor background, if I am allowed to marry him, our Shi family will not get any benefits, and may be excluded by the other three families, not to mention that he also has a family. President An went crazy in practice and lost his fertility, so he recognized many of his kinders as godsons, some of them were only a little younger than him, just to consolidate his power, and every time the major events in the organization were discussed by the elders together, but in the end, he had the final say, and his godsons were particularly protective of him, so he also doted on this group of henchmen. I miss Ah Ye more and more, if I can't live this much longer life with him than ordinary people, then I might as well die. An Meng is uneducated, his appearance is obscene, his demeanor is dirty, and he has not learned one-tenth of President An's ability, but he is lawless with his power, and everyone hates him, which deepens my belief. After the An family forced the old president to death, drove away the Zhang family and seized power, they vigorously developed their forces, no longer worshiped Patriarch Ning, and were very ignorant of traditional moral norms, and most of the disciples acted eccentric and evil, killing a few people casually, and they didn't care, not to mention that I was jealous, and I hated from love, and I was blinded by lard for a while, and I was poisoned to assassinate Ah Ye's wife. Unexpectedly, Ah Ye found me and said that he knew that I did it, but he didn't blame me, but he had no choice but to break the rules of his ancestors and cross the ocean to make money to treat his wife with this forbidden ability. I originally wanted to threaten him, even if he married me as a child, I would give him an antidote, who knew that he didn't ask me, but said that he would forgive me, it would be worse than killing me. Our poison is handed down from our ancestors, and it doesn't do much for people like us, but for ordinary people, there is no antidote to death. If he wants to sell his superhuman skills that he shouldn't show and go to the West to make money and buy Western medicine, he has already committed the taboo of his ancestors. I couldn't keep him, so I could only watch him go. An Meng was jealous and crazy, and took the ancestral rules and regulations that had long been ignored by the whole of the country, saying that he would punish the traitors. Originally, I was ashamed in my heart, and I only hoped that the president would not believe An Meng's words. But the president pretended to be public and private, and actually killed Ah Ye's family. From then on, I hated myself to death, and I hated Ann to the bone. The president did not give up and decided to lead the four elders to the United States to punish the traitors in person. At this time, I vaguely felt that this was probably not just a simple punishment for rebellion, and I also found out that before this, he had sent a Dongying ninjutsu to a western town Xilin Town, the motive was unknown, and Ah Ye also died because of this, I was deeply shocked and painful. Sure enough, the special metals needed by our rival Steel Valley manufacturing machine were found in the gold mine that was excavated in Xilin Town, and the original location of Xilin Town was hit by a meteorite tens of thousands of years ago, and the meteorite contained rare metals that had never been on the ground before, which was the basis of the materials used in Steel Valley scientific research. The most important thing to stop their mining is that he has greater ambitions, wanting to be the leader of the Four Gate Alliance, and then suppress Charles Vinrecent in Steel Valley. The two sides were originally at a stalemate, but after all, Ganggu was originally the same sect as us, alchemy, qi cultivation, illusion, psychic and beast control were originally one, for example, performing illusion also requires a certain amount of qi cultivation skills, and the gunpowder used in a large number of steel valleys for alchemy was invented by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who cultivated qi. In this way, it was forcibly dismantled into five parts, so that they could not help each other, and they had been resting on their laurels and making it difficult to move forward. It was not until the beginning of the Age of Discovery, when Ganggu lent money and agitated colonization, recovering profits hundreds of times and thousands of times, and carrying out the industrial revolution with its position as the world's number one creditor, and rapidly rising in modern times to become a force that could compete with the sum of the four gates, that we were forced to start dealing with them exclusively. Unexpectedly, things are not so simple, and we are shocked that there are five of us in the mine, and we are shocked......"
