Chapter 293: Contradictions arise
The next day, Xue Chen took two agents, one carrying an energy absorber, to follow Thomas in a helicopter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Instructed to drive a vehicle that was past its useful life, Thomas drove on the road as normal.
At present, among the survivors of the highway accident, only Kimberly and Toms are left, and the others consider that the more the accident causes the more damage they cause, Xue Chen gave up protecting them, and as for locking them up, he felt that there was no need for that.
Originally, Toms Xue Chen also planned to leave him to fend for himself, but considering that he and Kimberly should be able to use the order of death to complement each other, he was left with his life.
Toms, who was driving the car, did not have the nervousness of imminent death, this was the fourth time he was about to encounter death, the last time was when the helicopter he was riding crashed, and he was also easily rescued by Xue Chen, so far he fully believed in Xue Chen's ability, as long as he got his assurance, then he would be fine.
"Boss, discover the target energy."
At this moment, an agent shouted excitedly.
Xue Chen naturally found out, but this time the area of the strange energy was a bit too large, almost covering a radius of several miles.
"When something happens to Toms' car, you turn on the switch." Xue Chen gave orders to the two of them, and he split up hundreds of Xue Chen and flew down.
Just ten seconds after the strange energy appeared, the accident occurred.
I saw that the trail next to the kilometer suddenly made a loud noise, and the violent explosion directly formed a deep crater hundreds of meters large, and its huge destructive power was felt within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
But Toms's car was not affected, but because of the explosion caused chaos on the road, causing a series of car accidents, fortunately it was a city highway, the speed of driving was not fast, and it was a small car, so there were almost no casualties.
Just as people at the scene of the crash got out of their cars to find out what was happening in front of them.
A second explosion rang out again.
Then came the third, fourth, fifth.
It turned out to be a natural gas pipeline explosion, and at this moment, explosions kept coming from the entire pipeline, and Toms knew that maybe it would explode under his feet next, and with the idea that he didn't want to affect others, Toms rolled straight towards a lawn.
'Boom'.
As soon as his body hit the ground, the sound of an explosion sounded in his ears.
The two agents activated the switch in their hands as soon as the explosion began.
I saw an invisible shockwave eject from the energy absorber, and it was so fast that it came into contact with the gas pipeline wrapped in strange energy almost instantly, and the agent wearing the visual scanner could clearly see it.
The shockwave slammed into the body of the strange energy like a fist, and then quickly wrapped it, and then quickly turned back like a spring, and the whole process was over in just two or three seconds.
The agent who successfully completed the task excitedly reported to Xue Chen through the communicator, and Xue Chen was helplessly relieved when he heard the news.
It was a good thing that the energy was captured, but what he feared did happen.
The explosion of the natural gas pipeline reached a radius of about 500 meters, and nearly 1,000 people were in this range during the explosion.
Xue Chen understands that those who achieve great things are not informal, and as his strength grows, perhaps there will be more and more innocent deaths like this in the future, and he must get used to it.
After retrieving the energy absorber from the two agents, Xue Chen received a call from Feridge before he could study the properties of the strange energy.
"Boss, Your Excellency the President has something to ask you for." Ferich's embarrassed voice came.
As soon as Xue Chen thought about it, he understood that it was a natural gas explosion accident, and he agreed to answer the request, and the president's voice immediately sounded.
"Mr. Xue, do we want to be sure that the natural gas explosion just happened because of your 'experiment'?" The president asked, trying to contain his anger, in a low voice.
Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, didn't he ask knowingly, there were also eight ordinary agents involved in this capture, all of whom were authentic Americans.
"Yes, I deeply regret the damage caused by this accident." Xue Chen said sadly.
The president on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then spoke after a few seconds: "Mr. Xue, I think you should understand that as long as these people don't die for a day, the damage they cause will become bigger and bigger, for example, if there is no rescue from you this time, then it is conservatively estimated that the number of casualties will reach more than 500, and the economic loss will exceed 10 billion US dollars." ā
"We hope that you will consider the American people more when making your decision to experiment." The president pleaded.
Cooperation with Xue Chen is not the president's personal opinion, but the opinion of the entire American high-level, the president is only as a decision-maker, he is not afraid of Xue Chen, but interests.
Of course, Xue Chen wanted to choose an area with few people and desolateness, but he also understood that it seemed difficult for the 'death chase' to affect natural phenomena, that is, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc., so he had to say perfunctorily: "Later, I will try to choose areas where people are rare." ā
Xue Chen, who was about to hang up the phone, heard a voice on the other end of the phone: "There is one more thing, we hope that Mr. Xue can help us." ā
When Xue Chen heard this, he understood that the original accountability at the beginning was all false, no wonder he didn't call to ask about the accident some time ago, but today he didn't call to call.
"We are a partnership, and I am not obligated to help you." Xue Chen said in a deep voice: "However, you can talk about what it is, if you can, I don't mind helping you once." ā
Soon, the president said he needed help.
Hearing this request, Xue Chen's face turned dark, and the president actually asked Xue Chen to go to overseas areas to sabotage the armed forces in a certain region.
Let's not talk about whether the armed forces in that region are righteous or evil, its requirements are contrary to Xue Chen's original intention, if he wants to intervene in the war, he can directly use the clone and the ontology to control most of the presidents and heads of countries around the world, and he still needs to discuss such trouble?
Under normal circumstances, Xue Chen was more willing to exchange than to grab, unless he was forced to do so or the target was really unaccustomed to him.
"I will not intervene in any regional affairs, please do not make such requests in the future." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
At this time, in the president's office, the secretary of defense, the foreign minister, the general of the navy, the army, and the air force gathered together, and at the same time stared intently at the president's telephone.
"He refused." The president said in a calm tone.
His words instantly sparked a discussion among everyone.
"He's a good collaborator, but at the moment, there are too many uncertainties about the future, and it's not in the interests of the United States." said the Minister of Defense.
"According to the law, maybe in the future, we will suffer from major safety accidents every day, and the level will be higher and higher, how to solve this trouble, we must come up with a plan as soon as possible." The admiral continued.
"But this Xue Chen's ability is powerful as many agents have seen, flying away from the sky and omnipotent, and it is said that he can also teleport, and it is definitely not a wise choice to have a rift with him before a thorough plan."
"Then let him provide more technology, otherwise how can he bear the losses later."
ā¦ā¦
Everyone argued endlessly, and the hostile to Xue Chen was in a state of equal status with neutral and peaceful parties, and it was obvious that they were still very jealous of Xue Chen's ability.
"I have a suggestion, we have to develop a high-voltage electric gun as soon as possible, and secondly, observe him in the selection of the next experimental scene from time to time as he said to choose the remote place, if not, then we have to make the worst decision."
In the end, the president made the final decision, but what they didn't realize was that on the president's desk, an intricate sculpture shone red in its eyes.
