Chapter 3: Confusion

New York, a noisy afternoon.

For the citizens here, it's a day like usual. But a messy burst of gunfire completely shattered all order.

Surprise and fear are the first expressions on people's faces, and the next second, it's an uncontrollable mess.

Most of them fled, and the funny thing is that 90 percent of them don't know where the gunfire is coming from. So the question arises, where are they going? It's actually very simple, run in the direction of home, run to work, run to a familiar restaurant, and if it's someone who is completely unfamiliar with the geography of the neighborhood, which direction they come, they will turn back and run in which direction.

It's an interesting instinct, and people's first instinct is to always think that a familiar place, or a place you've been to, is a little safer.

Then, there will inevitably be a more interesting scene, and people will run in different directions. So pushing, bumping, and stampeding, soon one after another, and then you can hear crying, shouting, and arguing.

Others follow another instinct, which is to hide, shivering in their cars, blindly running into buildings on the side of the street, or simply falling to the ground with their heads in their hands.

In short, when the riots occur, the conditions are all in place, and at such moments, some people who do not act according to their instincts become more and more visible......

The police, trained people, in times of crisis, react differently than ordinary citizens. Although the officers of N.Y.P.D. are not as strong as the fighting power of a certain national city management, they are also a disciplined force known for their efficiency. Anything can happen in New York, and the strips on the streets of Manhattan are all Young Pioneers with red scarves around their waists – that's always ready!

The uniformed patrol officers in police cars usually work in pairs, and when the midnight attack began, Wang Xu happened to have two police cars near them, one patrolling and the other parked next to the hot dog stand.

Faced with such a situation, the two groups acted in complete unison, they got out of the car, pulled out their weapons and used the police car as a temporary cover, one of them loudly identified himself and tried to control the situation, while his partner called for reinforcements with a walkie-talkie.

However, this standard process is useless for the current situation......

Only a loud bang was heard, and one of the police cars was blown up into the sky, and the two police officers next to him fell to the ground on the spot and never moved for half a minute.

The explosion undoubtedly raised the level of the commotion again, and in less than five minutes, the anti-terrorist units, the FBI, fire and medical personnel, and front-line reporters from major television stations stationed in New York City rushed like hounds sniffing their prey. The helicopter of the Midnight No. 1 Combat Group was also regarded as a helicopter for a TV station, and it did not attract people's attention.

The figure of the cat appeared next to the police car that had just exploded, he squatted down, shouldered the two unconscious police officers, the expression on his face seemed very calm, and he looked at the scrapped police car with interest: "Is it a long-range directional metal blaster...... You can really make it......"

Qi Zhi was still standing where they had just spoken, holding a cigarette in his mouth, spitting out smoke rings boredly, looking indifferent, and none of the continuous bullets could touch his body, as if he was standing in the heavy rain without an umbrella, but he didn't get his clothes wet.

The gunshots were still ringing, but there was not a single bullet hole around Qi Zhi, and a new shootout began on the rooftops of the buildings around Times Square, and explosions occurred one after another out of sight, several of which were so strong that the exterior glass of the buildings a few blocks away was completely shattered.

The chaos went on for five or six minutes, and to most people, those minutes felt like centuries.

The gunfire became more and more sparse, until finally it disappeared completely, and Wang Xu's gang appeared, and he had been covered in dirty unknown liquid in the sword search world, but now he was simply scorched from head to toe, as if he had rolled in the coal field.

"You...... What the hell are you ...... "A heavily armed guy who looks like a Star Wars clone soldier has fallen behind Wang Xu's back." He is the commander of the Third Midnight Regiment, Calvin.

"Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young." Wang Xu turned his head and walked towards him slowly, his expression was suffocating cold, but his black face looked very funny: "Forget it, I can't translate it clearly with you foreigners." In the words of the cat master, by the time you shoot at the crowd, you should have ...... Consciousness of being killed by any of the potential victims present, right? ”

Calvin gasped, sat down on the ground and struggled to retreat. He didn't try to beg for mercy, because Wang Xu's killing intent was already clear. The third battle regiment had nine snipers, twelve firefighters, six demolition crews, and ten comprehensive attackers, all of whom were killed by Wang Xu in just a few minutes.

The Third War Regiment was completely wiped out in this way, and Calvin, as the commander, did not understand what Wang Xu did at all, which undoubtedly made the fear in his heart reach the extreme.

Wang Xu walked up to Calvin, ready to end this man's life, but at this moment, Wang Xu suddenly stopped again. Calvin breathed a sigh of relief, even he didn't know that it was simply because Wang Xu's killing intent had been diverted elsewhere.

"Although he received instructions to be on standby, and he never saw me, he was a comrade after all...... Hey, I can't sit back and watch you make a move on someone at the level of a warband commander. A weak and cold voice came from behind Wang Xu.

Wang Xu turned his face and said, "Hmph...... Jumped out of a helicopter. ”

Tobe ignored Wang Xu, his first purpose was to save Calvin, "You can go." Strangely, even though Tobe had no pupils, Calvin could sense that the other party was staring at him, and when he heard this, Calvin quickly fled from the rooftop as if he had been granted amnesty.

"If you don't let me kill him, he'll die even worse at the hands of Riadi, for a reason...... I guess it's called 'incompetent' or something. Wang Xu no longer cared about Calvin, and turned directly to the household.

"That's what we're doing in the middle of the night."

"Huh...... I've let him run, can you put the knife down now? Wang Xu laughed.

"I didn't lift anything."

"From just now, your killing intent was like a blade on the side of my neck." Wang Xu said coldly: "Even Qi Zhi doesn't dare to do this kind of thing to me, don't be too presumptuous." ”

"It's not easy to do, your neck is at a distance I can cut at will, and besides, you are such a master, how can I agree."

Wang Xu sneered twice, and said with a solemn expression: "My name is Wang Xu, Guiguzi Wang Xu, a ghost hunter." ”

"In the next, a member of the first battle group in the middle of the night, Tobe Shinzaemon, a little swordsmanship."

After exchanging names, they did not say a word, and stood in place and began a stalemate, the two of them as if they were sculptures, and even gave the illusion that they had become one with the environment, and the atmosphere was truly eerie.

…………

"I met a difficult master so quickly, and it seems that I can't get out of it for the time being." The cat master looked at the direction where Wang Xu was with his spiritual sense, and said weakly. As he spoke, he threw two policemen into a roadside fountain. The two woke up from the cold water, and after two splashes and found that the water was only half a meter deep, they crawled out and gasped for breath.

"You're alright, man."

"Huh...... Huh...... Not dead yet, what just happened? ”

The cat master interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "Your car was blown up and seriously injured, I cured you and threw you into the cold water." ”

The two policemen were confused: "What? What did you do? Who are you? "They felt that something was wrong with what they had just heard.

"I still have something to do, you'd better contact your superiors, and then ask him to contact the person in charge at the scene, evacuate the citizens, and retreat quickly." After the cat master finished speaking, he knew that the second battle group of Midnight would come soon, and by that time, the damage caused would far exceed the level just now.

Qi Zhi walked to the cat master's side with a relaxed expression: "Wang Xu seems to have done everything that makes high-tech." ”

At this moment, without warning, the cat master suddenly made a move, and four scarlet scalpels on his right hand pierced Qi Zhi's left chest cavity, and the blood in his heart gushed out directly and flew into the air.
