Chapter 98: Staying alive (5)
Zhao Gao stood on the roof of the building, looking up at the dark sky, the fine raindrops fell on his face, the rainstorm that had been raining all night finally subsided, knee-deep water accumulated on the road, Shanghai had rarely encountered typhoons, it was a rare waterlogging city, but in the times, Shanghai under the heavy rain looked as if it was about to sink.
It was really a chaotic, dark, bloody, and humid night, and Zhao Gao stood on the edge of the roof of the building and looked down, reaching out without seeing his five fingers, as if looking down on the bottomless abyss.
He knew that there were corpses piled up downstairs, and that the men who were supposed to be enjoying a good drink at the ball tonight had died here, draining their blood.
The young man let go of his hands, and the two bare hilts fell into the rainy night.
He slowly retreated, sat down and gasped, Zhao Gao was covered in scars, his feet were full of mutilated corpses of sirens, Zhao Gao killed six sirens in one night tonight, the corpses of those hunters were piled up on the rooftop of the library, leaving people with nowhere to stay, Zhao Gao was seriously injured, there were at least three penetrating wounds between his chest and abdomen, Zhao Gao in the state of corpse could bear it, but now as soon as the corpse was lifted, Zhao Gao immediately lost all his strength.
These injuries all came from the last siren...... The monster was stronger than all its other kind, and Zhao Gao was able to slay the other five sirens unscathed, but the young man felt a great deal of pressure when he faced it off, and the speed and strength of the slayer were very different from the others, and finally Zhao Gao risked being stabbed through the heart by the other party, and cut off the head of the thing with a single sword.
Zhao Gao was exhausted, he couldn't move a finger, if the executive department came up to arrest him at this time, then he could only be arrested.
But it was impossible for anyone to come and arrest him, and all the people who came to arrest him were dead.
He didn't know if Lu Xun survived, that kid was the fastest of all, Lu Xun and Ariana reacted almost at the same time, Lu Xun took the lemon, Ariana pulled Belle, and the four of them fled in two opposite directions. There were few survivors left behind, and the heavily armed Enforcement was defenseless against the Sirens, often slewing to the slayer before they even saw the enemy. Zhao Gao stood on the roof of the building and heard the screams below, and it was silent in less than a minute.
Lu Xun and Ariana both know very well that they don't have time to save others, and if they stay for one more second, they will die.
This is probably the heaviest loss that the Executive Department has suffered since its establishment, and on that rainy night four years ago, the Executive Department was almost wiped out, and in a battle tonight, the last bit of combat effectiveness of the Executive Department was also exhausted. Lu Xun didn't know that the executive department he saw was actually a half-crippled force, and the earliest executive department was originally a complete US military "delta" special operations squadron, with armored vehicles and helicopters, and it was the top combat force that mankind had in the post-apocalyptic era.
On that rainy night four years ago, the elite of the executive department was almost completely lost, and since then it can only be used as a defensive force in the safety zone.
After tonight, there may no longer be an Executive Department in the security zone.
Zhao Gao let out a long sigh.
Suddenly, there was a crisp gunshot.
The young man's pupils dilated suddenly, and he was pushed forward by the kinetic energy of the bullet, and he staggered to the ground.
The 9mm pistol bullet hit him in the shoulder, Lu Xun lay on the ground and couldn't move, the sound of heavy military boots stomping on the ground sounded in his ears, he struggled to turn his head to look back, and the man kicked Zhao Gao's face into the water.
"It's ugly." The man whispered, flicking the cigarette butt on Zhao Gao's body.
Zhao Gao raised his head, and he saw a tall man standing in the drizzle, with gray hair, wearing a gray military uniform, with a large black blood stain on his chest, and a sharp light emitted from his light blue pupils.
The youth sneered.
"Sure enough...... It's you. โ

The supreme leader of the security zone of the Shanghai Naval Military Academy, Maxwell Xiu Sean.
The old man, who had been shot to death by Zhao Gao, was standing in front of him at this moment, Sean took out a box of cigarettes from his blood-soaked jacket pocket, took out one and lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath, and then turned his head to look at the endless night.
"It's dark."
"That's the first thing the winner says after the victory?" Zhao Gao lay on the ground and smiled coldly, "It's too bland." โ
"Victor?" The old man took a puff of his cigarette and shook his head, "No, no, no...... I've never been a winner, and I've never won against anyone. โ
Zhao Gao was stunned.
"If you pinch an ant to death, do you think you've defeated it?" Sean smiled, "I must admit though you did cause me a little bit of trouble because you were so unruly. โ
"Since we're just ants to you...... Why do you have to make so many moths? Zhao Gao asked, "Wouldn't it be okay for you to use your absolute strength to crush it?" You just have to release all the fish that you have stocked in the Huangpu River, and no one here can resist. โ
The old man was silent for a long time, took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and exhaled a swirling white smoke.
"You don't understand."
"I don't understand?"
"You humans don't understand." Sean said lightly, "In the past so many years, if I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago, at least four years ago...... But why should I kill you? What's the point of killing you guys to me? โ
"I am the king of this world, I was born to be a king, no living creature has the power to match me, I can kill any creature at will, I have walked in this world, my body is covered in blood, countless humans and hunters have died at my feet, I have walked from one end of this world to the other, I have seen things that none of you have ever seen, but I have never seen another me." The old man said lightly, "I have seen the word 'king' in your human books, you human beings call the ruler of the high king, and I like this word very much, because I feel that this word was born for me. โ
"I was born in hell, the day I was born...... It was pitch black all around, and it was raining so heavily. "It took me a long, long time to figure out what I was, I used to sit motionless on the top of the highest building in the city and look at the world for years, until then I forgot that I was a living being, and I thought I was a thinking stone." โ
Zhao Gao was silent, "Why are you talking to me about this?" โ
"I don't expect you to understand me...... The reason I'm telling you this is because you're the most similar to me of all people. The old man smiled, "The Brave and the Demon King...... It's always the same creature. โ
