Chapters 15-16 (156 Chapters in One)
After everyone spent another day idle, on the night of March 22, Ji Kairui couldn't hold back any longer. There are only the last few hours until a massive attack from another world. His courtesy and respect for Rocky had reached its limit and could no longer be tolerated. He found Hang Yi and said, "Obviously, this kid doesn't plan to help us, we can only come hard." ”
Hang Yi was also very anxious in his heart, but he knew Rocky's difficulties, and said to Ji Kairui: "Hailin told us that asking Rocky to take us into another space is tantamount to making him betray his parents. I couldn't force him to do something like that. ”
"Now is not the time for a woman's kindness!" Ji Kairui said grimly, "For him, do you want to let countless people die?" Besides, this incident was originally provoked by his parents' gang, so why should we be merciful? ”
"Then tell me, if he doesn't want to, how do we force him to use superpowers?" Hang Yi asked.
Ji Kairui was dumbfounded for a while. At this time, Sina's voice came from the hall outside, asking everyone to come out and gather.
The companions, with the exception of Rocky, made their way to the hall. Xina said with a serious expression: "I asked my dad just now, almost every city in the world has deployed military forces and is ready for battle. ”
"The people know about it, too?" Shu Fei asked.
"In order to prevent panic, governments have not informed the public of possible attacks tomorrow. The first is that even the military does not know when, where, or in what form the attacks will take place. The second is that the video only predicts the date of 'March 23' and does not specify what kind of attack will be carried out. So until the last moment, no one knows what will happen, and they can only try to be militarily prepared. Xina said.
"But no matter how large the number of troops is, it is impossible to cover the whole country or even every part of the world." Lu Hua said.
"That's right," Sina sighed helplessly, "so it's only the cities that have deployed military forces, and I'm afraid it's hard to take care of the countryside and some remote areas." ”
"In other words, if an attack takes place in these places, the casualties will be very high." Song Qi frowned.
Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem, and almost at the same time thought about the criticality of Rocky. It is maddening that the people who can stop this catastrophe are right now beside them, but they are helpless.
Ji Carey couldn't take it anymore, and he walked quickly towards Rocky's room. However, he had barely taken a few steps when the door to the room opened, and Rocky stepped out of it.
"Don't look for me, I heard you."
Ji Kairui stopped to stare at him. Rocky sighed, walked up to everyone, and said, "I've been thinking every minute of the past few days about what to do. It wasn't until I realized that I had actually betrayed my parents and the 'Big Three' by 'fleeing' this time. ”
"Rocky......" Helen looked at him sadly.
Rocky also looked at Helen: "For the other world, now is also a critical moment, but as one of the 'main generals', I actually escaped from the battle - of course, you who 'disappeared' earlier." Where will we flee? They don't have to guess to figure it out. ”
Sun Yuchen saw hope and said to Rocky: "In this case, you don't need to hesitate, just stand with us." We can assure you that when you go to another world, just stop it and try not to hurt your parents. ”
Rocky shook his head and said, "I think you misunderstood. I can be your companion, but that doesn't mean I'm going to take you to another world, to my parents. I can imagine that once you fight, either you die or I live, and your guarantee is meaningless. ”
In fact, Sun Yuchen also understood this fact, he was just trying to convince Rocky. "So how are you going to help us?"
"I'll tell you something I know about this attack." Lodge said.
"Okay. Tell us what kind of attack will happen tomorrow. Ji Kairui asked.
"First of all, I know only a small part of this project," Lodge said. In other words, I am only one of them, and I have no idea about the core of the whole plan. So don't put too much hope in you. ”
"Just tell us what you know." Hang Yi said, "You just said that you are one of the main generals and one of the attackers in this plan, right?" ”
"Yes." Rocky admitted. "You know what I'm capable of. So my mission is to open the door to space and release some of the monsters created by the 'God of Creation' into this world, and maybe some companions with attacking abilities - that's all. ”
"You're not in charge of fighting yourself, are you?"
"Yes." Rocky paused, "But I was tasked with launching an attack on the 'second day'. ”
"The next day? You mean, March 24th? ”
"Yes. This is your day. ”
"So, who is responsible for the first wave of attacks tomorrow?" Hang Yi asked.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Lodge said, "I believe that every second-generation superpower person is only aware of his own mission. The only ones in control of the overall situation are the three giants and the other two 'gods'. ”
Hang Yi and his companions looked at each other for a moment, and then asked, "So you don't know what will happen tomorrow?" ”
Rocky was silent for a long time, and six words came out of his mouth: "Auckland, New Zealand." ”
Before Hang Yi and the others could react, he first asked, "What do these six words mean, do you know?" ”
"Of course I do!" Lu Hua exclaimed excitedly, "New Zealand is a country, and Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand!" ”
Rocky said, "That's what it means...... I hadn't heard of this country or this city, and I thought it was a code word......"
"In your world, it may be a code word. But in our world, it couldn't be clearer – the first wave of attacks took place in Auckland, New Zealand. Ji Kairui said grimly, while asking, "Do you know the time and the method of attack?" ”
"It was 8 a.m., and I don't know how the attack was going. One of my companions told me all this, but he didn't go too specific. ”
"It's okay, we've got important leads." Gilkerry said to Rocky, "You're going to use your power to bring us to Oakland, right?" ”
Rocky nodded silently.
Ji Kairui asked his companions, "Which of you are coming with me to New Zealand?" ”
"This has to be arranged. Not everybody can go. "Xina thinks about everything," Rocky said may be only part of the information, and does not mean that other countries and cities will not be attacked. ”
"That's right, then New Zealand will go with me and Ji Kairi and Rocky, is it okay?" Hang Yi asked for advice.
"I'll go with you, too." Helen said.
"And me!" Lei Ao raised his hand.
"Okay, then the five of us. The others stay here, and in the event that China is also attacked, Song Qi's ability can take you to the appropriate location and engage in battle with the attackers. Hang Yi said.
"Yes," Song Qi agreed to this arrangement, and at the same time told Hang Yi. "You must pay attention to your safety in New Zealand, and if the situation is not right, move back as soon as possible. My ability to move quickly inland is okay, but I can't cross the South Pacific. ”
Lu Hua glanced at his watch: "It's 9:40 p.m., there is a time difference between New Zealand and China for more than 4 hours, and New Zealand time is about 1 a.m. on March 23." In less than seven hours, the attack will take place in the city of Auckland. You may face a big battle, and you need to take a break and replenish your strength. ”
Hang Yi looked at a few of his companions who were about to leave for New Zealand. They also know the importance of recuperation, but the question is, how can they possibly sleep in such a situation?
New Zealand. Oakland.
8:05 a.m.
Located in the Auckland borough of New Zealand's North Island, Auckland is a diverse water world with 56 small islands, half inland and half seaside towns. On the Corniche, some early risers are exercising in the morning, breathing in the fresh seaside air. Most people are still asleep, and the city is quiet and peaceful.
A young woman running on the Corniche suddenly sees a strange sight on the beach: a large, long, slippery animal with a long and slippery torso that has never been seen before, slowly crawling from the shallow sea to the beach. It looks like a giant moray eel. But unlike moray eels, this animal has two pairs of flippers on each side of its body. Preliminary estimates suggest that this animal will not be smaller than a small blue whale.
The young woman was completely stunned, and at the same time, other people on the corniche spotted the giant animal that had landed on the beach. They screamed, and someone immediately called the relevant department.
Hang Yi, Ji Kairui, Lei Ao, Hai Lin and Rocky have already arrived in Oakland City with the help of Rocky's spatial conversion ability. Now all over the world, they are "celebrities". In order not to attract attention, they carried out various degrees of disguise. But the problem is that they were standing on the streets of Oakland and did not feel any signs of the attack, let alone where exactly the attack would have taken place in the city of Oakland.
Hang Yi suddenly thought of something, and said to Hailin and Rocky: "Could it be that because of the 'betrayal' of the two of you, the Big Three changed their original plan?" They guessed that the intelligence of the first wave of attacks had already been leaked, so they temporarily changed the location of the attack? ”
Helen and Rocky glanced at each other. Lodge said: "There is a possibility ...... this"
But after thinking for a moment, Helen said, "I don't think so." First of all, this attack has been planned for a long time, involving the superpowers of the entire other world, and it is unlikely that we will change our plans because of the temporary defection of the two of us; Second, judging from the fact that the Big Three sent USB flash drives to the National Security Agency, they came here clearly at all, and they didn't care about any 'intelligence leaks' at all. ”
Ji Kairui thinks Hailin's analysis makes sense: "Wait and see, by the way, search the Internet for global news to see if any other countries or cities have been attacked." ”
More than ten minutes have passed, and it is still calm. Lei Ao of the anxious son couldn't hold it back. He was going to come to do a big job, but he didn't expect to stand idly for more than half an hour on the street corner of Oakland wearing sunglasses and a hat, like a fool. He said, "Why don't I fly into the air and reconnoiter and see if there is anything going on around the city." ”
Hang Yi agreed. They came to a secluded alley. When no one was around, Lei Ao flew high into the air without attracting the attention of anyone around.
A few minutes later, Leo landed and said to his companions: "I saw a lot of people and vehicles gathered on the beach to the south, and it seemed that there was something on the beach. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the otherworldly attack. ”
"Let's take a look." Hang Yi said.
Rocky's superpower, "Space Transformation", is equivalent to teleportation and can ignore terrain and distance. More maneuverable than Song Qi's "speed". But the prerequisite for the transfer is that he knows the exact location of the next location. The "southern beach" mentioned by Leo was so large that Lodge shifted several times before arriving at the scene of the incident.
Thousands of people had gathered on the beach, watching the stranded beast from afar in a circle, and everyone took pictures with their phones and cameras in amazement. Police officers and journalists with cameras on their shoulders, as well as a number of biologists, were also at the scene. While the police took control of the scene, they slowly approached the giant beast with reporters and biologists.
Hang Yi and the others squeezed to the front and saw this monster that they had never seen before. Its head and jaw look like some kind of sharp-billed crocodile, with a short neck and a large body. A pair of flippers and a whip-shaped tail look like a sea creature rather than a land creature at first glance. At this moment, the monster closed its eyes, unable to tell if it was still alive. It looks like it has run aground by accident, and experts are preparing to rescue it.
Such a poor animal, no matter how you look at it, doesn't want to be an "advance team" sent by another world. Lei Ao whispered, "Maybe it's a mistake. This guy is dying. Besides, a monster can't pose a threat. ”
Ji Kairui felt that things were not so simple, he said: "Is it such a coincidence? Don't you think this monster is very similar to the 'Canglong' that attacked the sea ships when we went to Qushan Island? ”
Hang Yi also saw it, and he said, "That's right, it's very similar, but it's not." The whole body of the dragon is covered with hard scales, and the body of this animal is smooth. ”
At this time, Auckland's biological experts, after carefully observing, excitedly shouted something in English, causing a burst of exclamations from the people on the beach. Hang Yi and the others also understood what he meant - this is a prehistoric animal that lived in the Jurassic era and has long been extinct, called "Shanglong", which is a large predator in the ancient ocean.
The biologist couldn't explain how it came to be stranded on the beach, but he said the animal was not dead and that it had to be rescued. If it can be saved, it will be the only living "Shanglong" in the world!
Just as the biologist was talking excitedly at the camera, Hang Yi noticed the dragon on the beach moving and opened his eyes.
Before Hang Yi could shout "Becareful!", the monster opened its huge mouth and bit the right leg of the biologist standing in front of it. The biologist screamed in pain and fell to the ground. The dragon bit and dragged him, and he was about to swallow a big living person into his belly!
The people on the beach screamed and fled. Several policemen panicked, and two of them drew their pistols and prepared to shoot, but they were afraid of accidentally injuring the biologist, and when they were undecided, they flicked their giant tail like a long whip and swept one of the policemen away, and the person in their mouths was swallowed to their waists.
It is important to save people, Lei Ao rose from the ground, flew into the air several meters high, and with a wave of his right hand, a wind blade shot out, cutting off Shanglong's waist. The beast wailed and died. The soon-to-be-devoured biologist has been brought back to life.
However, the panic among the surrounding people was even greater, with some people shouting "Esper!" in English. "Obviously, the appearance of superpowers is more surprising than the ancient behemoths.
Lei Ao was already in the limelight, but at this moment, his identity was exposed, not only did he not feel uneasy, but he was triumphant, and simply hung in the air, clasped his hands on his chest, and let everyone shoot.
Hang Yi wanted to tell Lei Ao to come down quickly, but it was inconvenient to speak, because this would obviously expose his identity. He didn't want to be in the limelight in a foreign land, and now the world has misconceptions about superpowers. It is absolutely unwise to reveal his identity, and only a nervous person like Lei Ao doesn't care.
Just now, everyone witnessed Lei Ao's "Vacuum Blade" and knew how lethal it was - such a giant monster was "killed with one sword". In the eyes of the police, such a superpowered person is undoubtedly dangerous, especially since he is still hovering in the air at the moment, not knowing what else to do. One of the policemen raised his pistol and pointed it at Lei Ao and shouted, "Comedown! ”
Lei Ao originally thought that he would save people, and these police and people would respect and worship him as a superhero, but he didn't expect the police to raise a gun to him. He was annoyed and angry, and he didn't care if the other party could understand it, and shouted in Chinese: "I saved the people of your country, and you actually want to shoot me?!" ”
The police didn't know what he was talking about, but looking at his appearance, he guessed that he was angry, and his heart was even more frightened, and he became more and more panicked, and the pistol he was holding was more like self-defense, and he kept shouting "Hurry down, or you will shoot" and the like.
Lei Ao did not comply, but raised his hand and made a demonstrative gesture. The policeman was probably stunned by the "vacuum blade" just now, and when he saw Lei Ao raise his hand, he thought he was going to swing the wind blade at him. He screamed and pulled the trigger.
Lei Ao didn't expect this policeman to actually shoot at him, and it was too late to dodge, and a bullet flew towards his forehead.
At the last moment, the bullet stopped between Lei Ao's eyebrows, as if time had stopped. Lei Ao was so frightened that his pores opened and he almost fell from the air. The bullet flew out after he landed on the ground.
Lei Ao looked at Hang Yi and the others in shock, saw Ji Kairui glaring at him, and knew that Ji Kairui secretly used his superpower to save his life just now. Although he couldn't be angry that the policeman shot blindly, he didn't dare to mess around anymore, so he could only swallow his anger and walk to Hang Yi and the others. Rocky activated his superpowers, and the five of them became invisible together, and then carried out spatial transfer. The people on the beach screamed.
They returned to the temporary base camp of the National Security Bureau, and all the Lu Hua and others who stayed here gathered over, and Xina asked, "Why did you come back so soon?" Isn't there anything wrong with New Zealand? ”
Hangyi briefly recounted what happened on the beach in Auckland. Lu Hua said: "You must not have forgotten our experience on an uninhabited island, we have seen many incredible species, including the long-extinct Canglong and the legendary 'Dragon'!" Then it is certain that the 'Shanglong' stranded on the beach of Auckland was also released from another dimension! ”
"However, Ruan Junxi, whose ability is to control 'animals', is dead, who else can manipulate these monsters?" Sina asked.
"The second generation of superpowers." Sun Yuchen said, looking at Hailin at the same time. "I'm not mistaken, Ruan Junxi also left descendants with the same ability as him."
"That's right. The God of Creatures' – well, that's what you call Nguyen Jun Hee, and his ability to manipulate animals is very important in our world. Although not fully understood, I guess there are more than ten of his heirs. In addition to being able to control animals, they also have the ability to be 'invisible', just like me and Rocky, who have double superpowers. Helene said.
"A group of stealth people who control beasts and elementals to attack, and can teleport...... The enemy is dark and I am clear, do we really have a chance of winning this battle? Song Qi said pessimistically.
After a moment of silence, Ji Kairui said, "Don't say anything discouraged. Although there are many opponents, there are only a few kinds of superpowers, and once you figure out the rules of their attacks, it may not be difficult to parry. What's more, we have an absolute trump card on our side. ”
"What trump card?" Shu Fei asked.
Ji Kairui looked at her: "It's you." ”
"Me?" Shu Fei was surprised.
"Yes." Ji Kairui said, "When we encountered danger in the underground research institute, we were subject to the superpower of 'stealth', but at that time, you were in a hurry, and used a 'tracking attack' to lock on to the target, killing Xiangbei, who was in an invisible state, and relieving the crisis. Shu Fei, you may not realize how important your 'lock attack' is to us - in the chaos and no idea where the enemy is, you can only find and take down the opponent with this move! ”
Everyone looked at Shu Fei. Shu Fei feels a great responsibility.
Ji Kairui said to Lu Hua: "Lu Hua, your level is already level three, now use the circular defensive wall and completely cover the three of you in it, it should be no problem, right?" ”
Lu Hua nodded: "I can now generate a circular defensive wall with a radius of more than one meter, not only three people, but there is no problem in protecting four or five people." ”
"No, it doesn't need to be that big. The larger the circular wall, the more energy you will expend and the shorter it will last. So you just have to make a defensive wall that covers you, Shu Fei, and Xinna. Ji Kairui said solemnly to the three of them, "Remember, your trio is the most important means of combat on our side!" Lu Hua is responsible for keeping both of you safe; Sina was in charge of shooting; Shu Fei is responsible for locking on the target. Do you understand? ”
"What about you?" Sina asked.
"We all have superpowers to protect ourselves and fight each other."
Lei Ao pursed his lips: "Is it necessary for us to be so close to the enemy?" The other party said that he would launch an attack on this world on March 23rd, but as a result, he released a stranded 'Shanglong' and was solved by my wind blade. I don't think that's it. ”
Ji Kairui shook his head and said: "This is exactly where the three giants are cunning - first predict that the attack will be launched on March 23, causing the whole world to be alerted, so that the army and all armed forces are on standby." But on this day, only one giant beast was released. This will make the army slack off and let their guard down. After that, the consequences of an onslaught will be unimaginable. ”
Hang nodded and said, "That's right." So, as Lodge said, he and many of his companions were ordered to attack 'the next day'. ”
"So what are we going to do? Completely passively waiting for them to attack? Song Qi asked.
"I'm afraid that's all it takes." Ji Kairui said.
Hang Yi thought for a while: "Do the other people in Class 13 know about this matter?" ”
"The superpowers of Class 13, in addition to our Guardian Alliance, are the 'Old Gods Alliance'. There were other centrists who didn't join either. These people can't tell friend from foe, and it's probably too late to convince them to join us. Lu Hua said.
"Regardless of their position, they always have to protect themselves. And the strength of one person is definitely not enough to deal with it. Hang Yi looked at everyone and said, "I think this is an opportunity, some superpowers who were reluctant to join us in the past were because they didn't encounter a reason to unite. But this is different now, and this crisis concerns everyone. We should try to inform the people of Class 13 about the current state of affairs and get them to join us in the fight! ”
"That's a good idea, but how do we tell them? You know a lot of people whose phone numbers have changed. Lu Hua said.
"Post this news online! By now, the whole world knows that we are superpowers, and there is no need to hide it anymore. We told the world about the impending attack from another world on the Internet, on the one hand, to make everyone on guard, and on the other hand, to let the rest of the superpowers of Class 13 join us! ”
Sun Yuchen opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time: "Once this news is released, it will cause a sensation in the world within half an hour and become the headline of all websites." ”
"That's what I wanted. What do you guys think? Hang Yi asked for advice.
Xinna hesitated: "Should I discuss this matter with my father first?" ”
Hang Yi said: "Xinna, I know what you are worried about, obviously the NSA and the heads of government around the world are thinking about the same issue. They were all afraid of causing a mass panic, so they never dared to release the news. But have you thought about it, it would be unfair to the general public. We told you that it is better for people to at least hide in their homes or seek shelter in advance than for them to be unprepared. That's saving tens of thousands of lives! ”
Xina knew that the situation was serious, and she didn't hesitate anymore and nodded firmly.
