Chapter 3: Chaotic City
"Boom!"
With the sound of explosions, bricks and stones were splashed, mud and sand filled the sky, half of a three-story building was blown away, and the smoke of gunpowder hung over the street.
A large amount of sand and debris fell from the sky like a torrential rain, and passers-by all hugged their heads and scurried, and the busy street market just now became a Shura field in an instant.
Liu Yi has been staying in the imperial capital of singing and dancing all these years, how could he have expected to encounter such a terrifying scene just after he came back, and he was so frightened that he couldn't move, and he stood in place and didn't know what to do.
At this time, the guards around the government building had already moved quickly, and the two mechs guarding the gate began to walk towards the street with heavy steps.
"Leave immediately! Again, irrelevant personnel leave immediately! "The mech pilot gave a warning through a megaphone.
The square in front of the government building was crowded with passers-by, and when they heard the loudspeaker warning, they fled in fright, and the wide square became a mess, with people pushing and shouting at each other and scurrying like headless flies.
Liu Yi stood in the chaotic crowd, looking left and right, surrounded by crowded people, he couldn't even tell the direction, and he really didn't know where to flee.
At this time, a warning sounded on the mecha again: "Unrelated personnel evacuate immediately!" Unrelated personnel evacuate immediately! Clearing starts in a minute! ”
Liu Yi was helpless, so he had to squeeze forward desperately with the flow of people, and soon lost his way, and the whole person was completely pushed forward by others, with his chest against his back, and it was extremely difficult to breathe.
The pilot of the mecha was no joke, and in less than a minute, a deafening explosion sounded, and tear gas canisters began to shoot into the crowd.
The panicked people fled for their lives while crying and screaming, and some were pushed to the ground, where they were soon stamped in horror, and more than a dozen people died on the spot.
Just as the mecha cleared the scene, a group of soldiers in mobile armor also rushed out from the government building, holding multi-functional laser guns in their hands, and ran violently towards various intersections around the building.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! "These soldiers in mobile armor are like robots, and with the powerful power provided by mobile armor, they forcibly break into the crowd and push a path out of the crowd.
Some people couldn't dodge and were pushed to the ground by the mobile soldiers, and the crowd suddenly burst into shouting and swearing.
"Don't be so savage! Look at it, you've knocked this old man down! "Some people are not used to the ferocity of the soldiers, and they can't help but argue with the soldiers.
However, these soldiers did not care about this, and went up and gave the man the butt of the gun in his hand, and immediately knocked the other man on the head and bled out, and he lay on the ground and fainted.
Seeing this, others dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, so they could only express their dissatisfaction with their eyes and quietly curse a few words in their hearts.
Liu Yi was mixed in the crowd, and he couldn't be angry when he saw the soldiers being so arrogant, but now the situation is extremely chaotic, even if he wants to fight unevenly, he can't do it.
"It's better to get out of this place of right and wrong quickly......" Liu Yi thought in his heart and squeezed desperately towards an alley next to him, as long as he got to the alley, there would be a lot fewer people.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The explosion was heard again, and two missiles flew from nowhere, shooting at the mechs in the square. The missile hit the mecha accurately, and the dazzling flames immediately surrounded the mecha.
The person who saw this scene let out an exclamation while skillfully holding his head and lying on the ground, lest he be injured by the aftermath of the explosion, but fortunately he was squatted down so that Liu Yi could witness this scene.
Before the flames could be extinguished, the mecha's huge figure emerged from the billowing smoke, like the legendary giant who had emerged from the flames of hell.
Liu Yi saw this scene clearly, and secretly admired in his heart: "The military mecha is really not comparable to the civilian mecha, and it seems that it has not been seriously damaged after being attacked by a missile." ”
When Liu Yi was studying in the imperial capital before, the main direction of attack was military command theory and defense system, so he had some understanding of the various main weapons in the current army, including mechas.
Liu Yi knows very well how strong the performance of military mecha is, and civilian mecha can't be compared at all, let's just say that in a situation like that just now, if a civilian mecha is hit by a missile, I am afraid that it will directly become a pile of scrap metal, and the military mecha is only superficially damaged.
Just when Liu Yi was slightly stunned, the pilot of the mecha began to fight back, and the sneak attack of the missile just now seemed to anger the pilot, only to see the Gundam mecha raise the laser cannon in his hand, and suddenly fired into the distance, and a dazzling red laser beam immediately shot out.
The people lying on the ground naturally couldn't see the situation in the distance, and they didn't know if the laser beam fired by the mech hit the enemy, but one thing was certain, the enemy's counterattack would come soon.
"Run!" I don't know who shouted.
The crowd panicked again, and everyone fled desperately to a place where they could hide, and Liu Yi was swept forward by the crowd, and was soon squeezed into a corner, unable to move again.
At this time, the enemy's counterattack really arrived, and I listened to "Knock! With a bang, a cannonball was fired from a distance, and it exploded in the square, and a powerful shock wave swept in all directions, and a large number of people were knocked down in an instant, although the two mechs were not directly hit, but they almost stood unsteadily and fell.
The smoke and dust were all around, as if the sky was falling apart, and Liu Yi huddled in the corner with his head in his hands, panic and fear made him, a top student of the military academy, tremble.
In the past, Liu Yi had seen all kinds of images about war, but this was the first time he had really participated in the war, and now he finally understood what the cruelty of war was, and this kind of hand-to-hand combat was so tragic and terrifying.
At this time, Liu Yi couldn't think about any other questions, and there was only one thought left in his head: "Run!" Get out of this horrible place! ”
While most of the people were still crawling on the ground and didn't get up, Liu Yiheng suddenly rushed out of the corner of the wall and ran towards a store not far away.
The glass doors and windows of the store had been shattered by the explosion just now, and Liu Yi jumped into the store as soon as he jumped into it. At this time, there were many people lying on the ground of the store, and Liu Yi almost stepped on the others, and almost fell under his feet.
The people in the store looked at Liu Yi in horror, and Liu Yi didn't bother to explain, so he jumped over the head of others and ran all the way to the depths of the store.
Rushing all the way to the store's warehouse, Liu Yi knew that the warehouse usually had a back door for loading and unloading goods. Sure enough, after bypassing the rows of shelves, I saw a half-open iron gate appear in front of me.
Liu Yi bent down and got out from under the iron gate, outside was a relatively secluded back street, due to the explosion just now, there was no longer half a figure on the street, and everyone was so frightened that they hid.
Liu Yi, who was not familiar with the terrain, didn't know where this street led, so he ran away from the government building.
Liu Yi spread his legs and galloped forward, and just turned two corners, suddenly a person jumped out in front of him to block the way.
The man was wearing a steel helmet, a face mask, a shabby military uniform, and an old-fashioned laser rifle in his hand, and when he saw Liu Yi, he shouted loudly: "Stop! Don't move! ”
Liu Yi thought that he had met the soldiers of the army, so he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Don't shoot, I'm a good person!" ”
However, the man didn't speak, but the red indicator light on the laser rifle suddenly turned on, Liu Yi's mind suddenly moved, and he immediately realized that the other party was going to shoot, and immediately jumped to the side with all his strength, and at this moment, a laser shot at Liu Yi, burning a round hole in the corner of his clothes.
After landing on the ground, Liu Yi rolled on the spot and hid in the corner of the wall that the other party couldn't shoot, and at this time, another laser beam came and grazed the corner of the wall.
Liu Yi was shocked when he saw this, and then he realized that the other party was not a soldier of the army, but should be an armed man who attacked the government building.
Liu Yi, who was hiding behind the corner, was so nervous that he almost stopped beating, and then he heard the man shouting: "Don't hide, get out of here, otherwise the uncle will let you go to see the king of Hades immediately!" ”
How could Liu Yi go out, but hiding is not a way, if the other party comes over, he can take his own life, and now he can only find a way to fight back.
Looking around, Liu Yi found that it was a dead corner with miscellaneous items, and in addition to some messy cardboard boxes on the ground, only a few bricks could barely be used as weapons.
Liu Yi squatted down lightly, quickly picked up a brick, and said in his heart: "It's better than nothing at all." ”
The man shouted again, "You can't get out? If you don't come out, I'll come over, and then I'll take your life! ”
Liu Yi didn't speak, secretly held his breath, ready to wait for the other party to get close and give the other party a surprise look, whether it can succeed depends on luck.
At this time, the man had slowly approached, and when he saw that he was around the corner, he only needed to take two more steps forward to see Liu Yi. At this time, Liu Yi couldn't see the other party's location, so he could only guess, if this blow couldn't hit, the next thing was basically waiting for death.
Liu Yi took a deep breath, kicked the cardboard box in front of him out with a hard kick, and immediately rushed out from behind the corner.
The gun-wielding gangster suddenly saw something coming out of the corner, and he was so nervous that he hurriedly aimed the muzzle of the gun at the thing, and when he saw clearly that it was a cardboard box, he immediately realized that he had been deceived.
The gangster hurriedly turned the muzzle of the gun, and at this time Liu Yi had already jumped out, and smashed the brick into the gangster's face with a flick of his hand. The gangster's eyes were dark, and when he saw something flying, he didn't have time to think about it and instinctively put his head to the side, Liu Yi grabbed this gap, jumped forward with all his might, and pounced towards the gangster.
