At 5:40 p.m. on Friday, Hang Yi, Han Feng, Lu Hua and Lei Ao came to the TV station, while Ji Kairui and others waited in a café next to the TV station. The two sides have made an appointment, and if there is any situation, they will contact us by phone immediately.

Tian Li and the program director received them politely and politely, arranged the four of them in the lounge, and served tea. The choreographer explained some precautions for recording the program, especially the live broadcast. For example, turn off the phone, ask questions that the host will ask, avoid saying certain sensitive content, and so on.

Hang Yi can see that the director, planner and host of this episode of the show are making a gamble. It stands to reason that it is the safest way to record the program in advance, edit and modify it before playing it (Xia Lixin's show was recorded). But these people are obviously mentally prepared to break the boat, and invite some of the world's most watched superpowers to do live broadcasts, which can be imagined as attractive to the audience. Even with your toes, you can imagine how amazing the commercial value of this episode will be. It was previously revealed by the media that the advertisements inserted in this episode of the program reached a sky-high price of 30 million yuan per piece.

The producers, directors and hosts of this episode, and even all the staff of the TV station – their level of tension and discretion was unprecedented. Although they are all veteran TV professionals, producing such a heavyweight program still makes them walk on thin ice, for fear that any small mistake and accident will bring unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, it was Hang Yi who comforted them. He said to the production team of the show, please don't be nervous, just do the show as usual. Hang Yi assured them that there would be no problems on the show. The director and host thanked them again and again, and felt a little relieved.

There are still nearly two hours before the 8 o'clock show time, and since the four people are all boys, the makeup is relatively simple, and the director arranges for the makeup to be 45 minutes in advance. During the previous time, they were drinking tea and watching TV in the lounge.

During this period, Lu Hua went out to the toilet. After coming back, he told Hang Yi with a grim expression: "I saw those two people from the National Security Agency outside just now, and they both came to spy on us during the swimming pool incident and blood sweating, apparently this time they are also here to spy on us." ”

The four of them glanced at each other, and before Hang Yi could speak, the mobile phone rang (fortunately, it was not turned off now), and it was Sun Yuchen calling: "Hang Yi, we just saw a military car drive to the door of the TV station, and more than a dozen soldiers with loaded guns entered the TV station, I don't know what they are going to do, you have to be careful!" ”

Hang Yi's heart trembled, and he said to Sun Yuchen: "Okay, I know." We will be careful and contact you immediately if there is any situation. ”

After hanging up the phone, Hang Yi said to his companions: "People from the National Security Bureau and the military are here, and they are all equipped with weapons. ”

Han Feng jumped up from the sofa suddenly: "Damn, the TV station won't set up a trick to trick us and then arrest us, right?!" ”

Hang Yi motioned to Han Feng to calm down: "Don't get excited, I think it shouldn't be possible." First of all, the authorities said that the incident was still under investigation and did not characterize us as terrorists. Second, even if the police or the military wanted to arrest us, they didn't need to trick us into going to the TV station to arrest us. Wouldn't it be enough to surround our base camp directly? ”

Several people pondered for a while. Hang Yi said: "So, I'll ask the host." ”

Hang Yi dialed Tian Li's mobile phone number. A few minutes later, Tian Li came to the lounge. Hang Yi asked why the military came to the TV station, and Tian Li looked a little cramped. She said: "I'm sorry, this matter is really beyond our control. When the NSA and the military learned that we were going to do this episode, they didn't agree at first, and you can think of the reason...... In the end, our leaders communicated with them many times, and they agreed. But the condition is that on the day of the recording of the program, people from the military and the NSA must be present in case something unexpected happens. ”

Lei Ao said angrily: "Do they really think we are terrorists or what? Worried that we've blown up the TV station? ”

Hang Yi motioned to Lei Ao not to say such negative words. He said to Tian Li: "Okay, whatever they are." ”

Tian Li said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Leaving this lounge, Tian Li let out a long breath, she glanced at the soldiers arranged around the TV station, and felt unprecedented pressure. Where is this like recording a show? It's like the dawn before the battle.

Tian Li took the elevator to the director's office on the 6th floor, and after entering the door, she quickly closed the door and asked, "Director, is it really necessary to do this when recording the program for a while?" I was so nervous that I was out of breath. How do you call me to host in this state? ”

The director got up from the chair and walked in front of Tian Li: "I'm more nervous than you, but remember, you are a professional host, and you must be calm and calm." This is the essential quality of a presenter. ”

"You say it easily. None of the hosts in the world have ever hosted a show at gunpoint. ”

"It's not you who is aiming the gun, it's the four of them. Moreover, as long as they are not in trouble, the military will not shoot. So, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. The director paused, "After tonight, you will become the most famous host in the world, and you can buy a TV station for your worth." ”

Tian Li took another deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened them again. "I'm going to prepare."

At 7:50, Hang Yi and others finished their makeup and waited backstage in the studio. In the studio, the director, cameraman, and host ...... All units are ready. In addition to the swingarm, there are 6 cameras for all-round shooting. There are still hundreds of viewers at the studio, all of whom are in place.

At 8 o'clock, the live broadcast officially began. The host Tian Li walked out of the backstage, and she briefly made some foreshadowing and rendering. Hang the audience's appetite to the limit. Then, she invited four "important guests" for tonight.

Hang Yi and the four of them walked from the backstage to the front desk and sat on a few chairs in front of the host. At the prompting of the host, they greeted the audience and introduced themselves.

However, what they didn't know was that just after they appeared, several snipers who were ambushed in the broadcast room pointed their guns at them. Almost every small window in the broadcast room is occupied by the black muzzle. As soon as they perceive that the superpowers in the studio are plotting against each other, they are instructed to shoot immediately without hesitation.

On stage, the host began to ask questions, and she first asked Hang Yi and others to verify whether what Xia Lixin said on the TV show was true. Hang Yi said that it was basically true. Then, they asked some questions about the current situation of the 13 classes of superpowers and the "Guardian Alliance" formed by Hang Yi and them, and the four of them answered them one by one, informing the audience of their upheld position with the most sincere attitude. Hang Yi noticed that many people in the audience nodded frequently, obviously supporting and believing their position.

After 10 minutes, the program entered the main and crucial part, and the host asked about the town of Troitsk.

Moderator: "Can you tell us why you left for Moscow a little more than a month ago?" ”

Hang Yi: "The complexity of this matter cannot be explained in a few words. In short, we received some information that somewhere in Moscow – of course, as we later learned that it was the town of Troitsk, was hiding some information that was very important to us. Access to this information is important for the peaceful resolution of the matter. However, our opposite, the 'Old Gods', does not see it that way. So, they sent two attackers with the intention of destroying us in Moscow, or on the way to Moscow. ”

Host: "We all know that on the K3 train from Beijing to Moscow, something amazing happened, and some people died because of it. You mean, it was one of the attackers who did it? ”

Hang Yi: "That's right, her name is Feng Yaru, and her ability is 'law' - a very powerful ability, if we don't defeat her, everyone on that train will die." ”

There was a wave of exclamation from the audience.

Host: "In other words, you saved the vast majority of people on that train." ”

Hang Yi: "Yes. ”

Host: "And then, what about when you get to Moscow?" ”

Hang Yi: "When we arrived in Moscow, we learned that the specific destination was the town of Troitsk, which is located on the outskirts of Moscow, so we took a car. There was a traffic jam on the way, and at first we thought it was just a simple traffic jam. But a few hours later, in the evening, something terrible happened. We were attacked by walking corpses—moving, aggressive corpses. Horror creatures that most people have only seen in movies and nightmares. ”

Some of the people in the audience hugged their bodies tightly, looking terrified.

Hang Yi's parents are also staring intently at the TV screen at the moment, just like hundreds of millions of viewers. The mother involuntarily covered her mouth. Her father put his arm around her shoulders.

Moderator: "Did you realize what was going on at first?" ”

Hang Yi: "No. When we are attacked by the walking dead, we have little time to think. We and some Russians abandoned the car and fled, then walked to the town of Troitsk. On the way, he was attacked by zombies again...... When we finally reached our destination, we found that almost all the people in the town had become walking corpses. ”

Han Feng continued Hang Yi's words and said, "At this time, we began to realize that this was a good thing done by a certain superpowered person who came after us. Of course, we didn't know who this man was at first, because he hid well and hid in the shadows and commanded the walking corpses to attack us. Later, we learned that this person was the superpower of Class 13 Xiang Bei, and his ability was 'death'. One of the most terrifying abilities we've encountered so far. ”

The host was a little stunned: "You mean, this person did not hesitate to turn the entire town into walking corpses in order to attack you?" “

"That's right!" Han Feng said angrily, "This guy is the scum of the superpowers, and he is simply inhumane!" We've got him in the pack! ”

Lu Hua quietly pulled Han Feng and motioned him to pay attention to his words.

The moderator was silent for a moment and asked a somewhat sensitive question: "No offense, but I have to ask this question on behalf of everyone - what evidence do you have to prove that what you just said is true?" ”

This is something that Hang has thought of a long time ago. "There are several Russians who have gone through these things with us," he said. We fled with them to a church in the town of Troitsk. There was an old priest in the church, and more than a dozen survivors from the town. In order to keep them alive in this catastrophe, we ventured to deliver more than a dozen bags of food and drinking water back to them from a nearby supermarket. Now that the crisis has been lifted, I believe these people in the church are still alive. They can help us testify. ”

"That's right." Lei Ao looked at the camera lens, "Russian friends in the church, I believe you have been rescued. I'm sure you haven't forgotten about us, have you? Especially me, I brought back food with you! Please tell your government that we are not bad people, okay? ”

Host: "I'm sure my friends in Russia will tune in and explain everything to their government." But, after all, this matter needs to be verified by the Russian side. Do you have any more visual evidence that you didn't cause it? ”

Hang Yi and the four looked at each other. A few seconds later, Lu Hua said: "Actually, there is a very direct evidence that can prove that this incident is definitely not caused by us......"

Hang Yi and the others all guessed what Lu Hua wanted to say. Yes, this method clears them 100% of their suspicions, but they are not sure if they should do it.

The host asked, "What can be done?" ”

Lu Hua asked Hang Yi their opinion with his eyes, and seeing that they did not object, he said: "Everyone in Class 13 has different superpowers. It's impossible for us to turn dead people into walking corpses. ”

Sure enough, the question begs is, "Oh, so can you tell us what your superpowers are?" Or just face the camera and show it to everyone? ”

Showcasing your superpowers on a TV show is telling all your competitors what their superpowers are. The Old Gods had warned everyone that this was a big no-no. Hang Yi and the four of them were not sure what to do for a while.

The moderator saw their hesitation. She said to the studio, "Director, please play a 3 to 5 minute commercial and let them discuss it, okay?" ”

The director switches the TV screen to millions of sky-high advertisements per second. Hang Yi and the four of them used this time to put their heads together and have a small meeting.

"Xia Lixin did this at the time, and it ended up being killed within a few days." Han Feng reminded, "We can't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"But this is our only chance to prove our innocence. As long as we convince the world that our superpowers are unlikely to cause a 'zombie crisis', neither Russia nor its own government will blacklist us again." Lu Hua said.

"Is it worth it to prove your innocence with your life?"

Hang Yi made a gesture to interrupt their argument and said, "Actually, the people on the Old Gods' side already know what our superpowers are. When Xiaomi and I were first attacked by Jiang Lixuan (male No. 42 ability "gravity"), he accurately said that my ability was a 'game'. Later, when I met Feng Yaru on the train, it was the same. There may be someone on the Old Gods' side who has the ability to 'probe' or something, and has already investigated our abilities. So, we don't need to hide it. ”

The other three people felt that what Hang Yi said made sense and agreed. Hang Yi told Tian Li that they agreed to show off their superpowers on the spot. Tian Li was overjoyed, she knew that the ratings in the second half could at least add a few points to the existing base.

However, the director also reminded Tian Li through the headset that safety factors must be considered to show superpowers on the spot, and there must be no dangerous situations.

The director will switch to the studio again, and the host tells the audience that the four superpowers have agreed to show off their superpowers live. The audience was both excited and nervous - watching the "superpower show" with their own eyes is not an experience that anyone can have.

Lu Hua's superpowers are relatively gentle, and he is ready to start with himself. He got up from his chair and took a few steps forward, saying, "My ability is 'defense'. ”

As he spoke, a circular wall of glass bubbles enveloped him, and the audience was amazed. Lu Hua further explained: "This layer of defense wall seems to be weak, but it can actually withstand all powerful attacks. ”

In order to make the audience believe what he said, Lu Hua glanced at Lei Ao. Lei Ao lifted his chair and smashed it towards Lu Hua. Listening to the sound of "ping", the stainless steel leather chair was smashed and deformed, but the "glass bubble" and the people inside were unscathed.

The audience first exclaimed, and then burst into applause.

Lei Ao, who was in the limelight, was eager to try and couldn't hold back. Being able to show off in front of hundreds of millions of viewers is something he dreams of. He took two steps forward and said, "See for yourselves what I can do!" ”

As he spoke, he flew up. The exclamations of the audience stimulated Lei Ao's vanity to the greatest extent, and he even flew around the entire studio, busy with several cameras. Lei Ao laughed triumphantly.

Hang Yi pressed his forehead, rolled his eyes, and shouted before things developed into a farce, "It's almost done, Lei Ao!" ”

Lei Ao flew back to the table and stuck out his tongue.

It's time for Hang Yi next. Hang Yi took out the PSV game console from his small satchel and said lightly: "My ability is 'game', which can bring people to the virtual game world. Maybe the audience in front of the TV can't feel it, so let's experience it. ”

As he spoke, he turned on the game console, entered "Gravity Vertigo", which can be called "the most beautiful game screen in PSV", and activated his superpowers. In an instant, hundreds of people in the studio are immersed in a floating city full of fantasy, and the audience is jaw-dropping and dizzying with the game's beautiful set design and novelty. Even Lei Ao and Lu Hua were stunned. A minute later, Hang Yi disables his superpowers. The audience let out bursts of admiration.

The last one is Han Feng. But the conundrum arose.

He hesitated for a moment, then said with an embarrassed expression, "My ability ...... I'm afraid it's not suitable for display. ”

"Why?" The moderator asked.

At this moment, I can only tell the truth: "My ability is 'disaster', I can cause earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, and so on...... However, my ability is not strong at the moment, and I am not able to cause major disasters, at most some small disasters. ”

The host didn't know if it was because of the need for the effect of the show, or if he was really scared. Her mouth opened wide for a long time, and the audience became silent. The abilities displayed by Hang Yi and the three of them were like a wonderful acrobatic performance, but Han Feng's ability brought back everyone's fear of superpowers.

Han Feng hurriedly explained: "Don't be afraid, I've tried several times, just take earthquakes as an example, I can only cause small earthquakes of magnitude 2-3 at most. The amplitude of the vibration is not even comparable to that of a fat throwing machine. ”

Han Feng's joke made some of the audience laugh, and the atmosphere relaxed a little.

The host wasn't sure if it was time for Han Feng to show his abilities at the moment. She asked the director again to insert a few minutes of commercials, and then discussed with the director through the headset.

The director consulted with people from the NSA. After some deliberation, the director told the host that it could be shown, but it had to be guaranteed that there would be no problems.

Moderator: Understood. After the advertisement, she said to Han Feng: "Are you sure it will only cause a small earthquake of magnitude 2-3?" ”

"Yes." Han Feng smiled bitterly, "I don't think it's possible to cause a big earthquake. ”

"Okay." The host nodded and faced the audience, "Are you ready?" ”

The audience sat upright, nodding silently. This is probably the first earthquake in human history to be accurately predicted in advance.

Han Feng activated his superpower and said "earthquake", and the TV station building shook slightly. Everyone's hearts suddenly clenched. No matter how much it shakes, an earthquake is always a scary thing. But soon, the audience found that as Han Feng said, the magnitude of this earthquake was about the same as that of a fat throwing machine, or like sitting on a shaking massage chair, and some viewers even showed a look of enjoyment.

Han Feng was about to disarm his superpowers, when suddenly, something unexpected happened.

There was a loud bang, as if a cannonball or meteor had hit the TV building. The building shook violently, dust fell from the ceiling of the studio, and the TV building looked like it was about to collapse. Since the studio was enclosed, no one could see what was going on outside or guess what hit the building. The horror was that the impact did not stop, and there was a loud bang and the violent shaking that followed, like a small meteorite swarm landing on the earth, which happened to hit the TV station building.

Everyone realizes that this cannot be a coincidence. Screams erupted in the studio, and the audience flocked to the safety exit with the intention of fleeing for their lives. Even the cameraman and the host were confused and at a loss. The scene was completely out of control.

Needless to say, the first reaction of Hang Yi and the others was - whether this was caused by Han Feng or not. Hang Yi grabbed Han Feng's arm and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?" ”

"How do I know?!" Han Feng was also completely panicked. "I only caused the small earthquake I just had. And I've already lifted my superpowers! ”

"You can't be that your superpowers are out of control and cause other disasters, right?!"

"How is that possible?!"

At this time, Tian Li yelled at Han Feng: "Stop, stop!" ”

"I didn't do it!" Han Feng desperately defended, "I don't know what's going on!" ”

Just when everyone was in a mess, a middle-aged man in the broadcast room leaned into the ear of one of the snipers and coldly spit out two words: "Shoot." ”

The sniper received the command and pulled the trigger.

Han Feng was still trying to argue.

A bullet pierced his chest.

He shook a little, and a pair of frightened and dazed eyes looked desperately at Hang Yi beside him. Straight down.

All this happened so fast that Hang Yi barely saw where the bullet came from, and saw Han Feng lying in a pool of blood. His head exploded, and the noise and images around him seemed to freeze. He fell to the ground, held Han Feng's back, and shouted sadly, "Han Feng!" ”
