Chapter 35: The unkind Zhang Shen
Chapter 35: The unkind Zhang Shen
In the past few days of Zhang Shen lingering in the library, Roy Mastan and Alex Louis Armstrong have been busy in the dark.
No matter what time and space it is, there are many factions in places like the army, and Amestories is naturally no exception. Centered on Roy Mastan and the deceased Lieutenant General Hughes*, is a faction; The Abstron family has been a general, and their power is deeply entrenched in the army, but they have been stubbornly guarding the border for many years and have always remained neutral. The rest, of course, is the forces directly controlled by President Kim Bradley, mainly distributed in major cities, directly controlling the lifeblood of the city.
Under such a special background as the Homeland Refining Array, the neutral forces led by Alex's sister began to make contact with the forces under Roy's command. If time permits, perhaps under this "opportunity", Roy will directly control more than half of the army, and even an armed coup is not impossible.
Unfortunately, things often don't go our way.
This morning, after freshening up, Zhang Shen was about to go out to buy breakfast and then run to the library, finishing the last bit of books left yesterday, but suddenly found that the atmosphere in the city was a little wrong.
This is...... The smell of gunfire on the battlefield!
Zhang Shen floated stealthily to the sky, and from a bird's-eye view below, he only saw small black streams like poisonous snakes, which were quickly rushing towards the place where everyone lived.
That black torrent is the city defense army of Central City! Armed and coming from all directions, they are trying to completely seal off the area.
It's fast...... muttering a few words, Zhang Shen immediately informed everyone of the news.
Roy and the others were stunned.
"Didn't you say the third day of the next month? Why did they come so fast! "Xiao Douding has been inexplicably short-tempered recently, and he yelled at Zhang Shen.
Lisa stopped him: "Edward, don't be impulsive. Alphonse was a little distraught, but he still resolutely hugged his brother Edward and let him dance and struggle.
Roy ignored the brothers' tricks, glanced at Alex, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect His Excellency the President to be so decisive...... Indeed, we thought it was a mistake. ”
Although the little fox is cunning, it does not have the perspective of the old fox. The flask villain's idea was beyond his expectations.
"Now, I can only fight!"
Roy pulled out his silver timepiece from his bosom, looked at the time, and rushed to the study to make a call. His speed of speech was very fast, and Zhang Shen only said clearly: "It's too late, let's do it now!" ”
After that, he made a few more phone calls and made arrangements quickly.
"Mr. Zhang Shen, please help us!"
"The filth of the upper echelons should not be buried with millions of innocent beings!"
Roy, Alex, and Lisa asked together, and Zhang Shen nodded heavily: "I will do my best." ”
When the group of seven people rushed out of the room, Zhang Shen heard the fierce gunshots.
"I arranged it. As of the early hours of this morning, more than 500 people have entered the Central City. Unfortunately, it was too late. Now I just hope they can delay as much time as possible for us. Facing Zhang Shen's questioning gaze, Roy took the initiative to say.
Although Kim Bradley's forces are stationed next to major cities, especially around Central City, the Little Fox has been camping for so many years, and he has still buried a lot of hidden chess.
There was a green military car in the courtyard, which was not big, and could only fit six people even if it was barely enough.
"Go up and leave me alone. My speed is no slower than your car, besides, I'll open the way~~"
Before the word "Dao" fell, Zhang Shen stepped out suddenly, waving his arm vigorously.
The wind rose suddenly, blowing away several soldiers who had come out of the corner, and a bunch of people smashed into a ball and turned into rolling gourds.
"Hold on!" Lisa let out a low snort, stepped on the accelerator hard, and a piercing friction sound sounded, and the car slammed back, and then, rushed out frantically.
Target – National Laboratory!
Ahhhh
Zhang Shen watched a car of ghosts crying wolf howling guys go away, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he was secretly happy.
Alchemy: Riding the Wind!
Suppressing the strange thoughts in his heart, Zhang Shen's spiritual power gushed out, submerged into the surrounding void, and in less than a breath, the surrounding airflow surged violently, like a three-dimensional version of the magic carpet, carrying Zhang Shen into the air.
Alchemy: Lock of Air!
The intention moved at will, and the air currents turned into handcuffs and chains, locking the hands and feet of the soldiers in sight, and suddenly the ground rolled again.
Originally, Zhang Shen wanted to directly control the earth and bury them, but looking at the citizens crying and scurrying everywhere on the road, he still extinguished this idea. Fortunately, it was still early, and many people were still in their homes and did not go out, otherwise it would be more troublesome.
Zhang Shen has heard many people exclaiming, "Wow, come and see, there are people flying in the sky" and so on......
With Zhang's escort and Lisa's "amazing" driving skills, the group almost unimpeded all the way to less than a kilometer away from the national laboratory.
The heavily armed soldiers surrounded the laboratory, and although they did not drive the armored vehicles into a frenzy, they still built a simple but strong but sufficient defense line to hold the enemy back, relying on the sturdy and fall-resistant military personnel carriers and the civilian vehicles that were forced to sign.
Kim Bradley was standing in front of the National Laboratory, surrounded by several nervous guards.
The battle put forward by the president stunned Roy and his friends.
Is it necessary to deal with such a few people as if the two armies were facing each other? He didn't expect at all how much psychological pressure ordinary people would have in the face of an alien who could fly around in the sky and drive all the way.
Although Kim Bradley's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help but jump out of his eyes the moment he saw Zhang floating in the sky like a ghost. It's one thing to hear about it, it's another thing to see it, and it's really stressful.
Despite being a half-finished android, he has always believed that androids are superior to humans. However, this idea couldn't help but be shaken the moment I saw Zhang Shen. The androids are so fierce, and I haven't seen anyone who can fly.
"Colonel Mastam, Major Armstrong, what exactly do you want to do?"
Kim Bradley suddenly spoke: "Don't go wrong anymore!" ”
"Colonel Roy Mastan, I know you've always wanted to sit in the presidency! If you want, you're good for it! Why? Do you know how many people in Central City will be affected and innocent people will die because of the rebellion you have launched? ”
"Major Alex Louis Armstrong, I can't understand that you, as the Armstrong family, should be involved in such a ridiculous rebellion! Have you ever thought that because of your rebellion, it could lead to chaos in the Northern Legion. If Draguma were allowed to take advantage of the situation to break through the fortress of Brix, how many people would die and how many families would be shattered? ”
"Edward Elric, a genius who became a national alchemist at the age of 12, have you forgotten your oath? Why would we, as a glorious national alchemist, once proud, join this rebellion? Do you know how many children like you, even younger than you, will lose their parents and become homeless because of your rebellion? ”
…………
…………
Kim Bradley was not emotional, there were no tearful accusations, and even dry and emotionless nonsense from beginning to end. However, his words seemed to have a wonderful magic, which reached the ears of the soldiers, and their expressions changed little by little, and their eyes were full of resentment and hatred when they looked at Roy and the others.
What's even more tangled is that some citizens who didn't have time to run away from the neighborhood also walked out of their hiding places one after another, clenching their fists and gritting their teeth towards Roy's side.
"Oh, it's interesting~~" Zhang Shen took all this into his eyes and watched it with relish. When Kim Bradley first spoke, he wanted to remind Roy not to let him stall, but ...... Several thoughts turned around in his mind a few times, and Zhang Shen decisively extinguished this idea.
When Kim Bradley "spoke", he released his spiritual power, and he did not sense any supernatural power in the former's language. It wasn't until he set his eyes on the ground that he realized what the problem was.
This is also the reason why he gave up warning Roy and the others.
"You guys play slowly, I'll dive into the water first~~" Hehe smiled, Zhang Shen lost his figure and disappeared.
Below, in the car.
Seeing the changes around her, especially the citizens with hatred in their eyes, Lisa was also a little panicked.
"Colonel, what should I do??"
Roy hates the indiscriminate killing of civilians the most, and naturally he will not do such a thing. He looked up and found that Zhang Shen was gone!
"Damn! Sure enough, this guy who appeared inexplicably is not the same as us! ”
Roy Mastan is not a hot-blooded boy like Edward, how can he believe that Zhang Shen, a guy who came out halfway, is not surnamed Zhang, and he is not Qu Shitu......
"Edward, I'll create an opportunity for you to separate them with alchemy, and we'll rush over!"
As he spoke, Roy wiped his hands vigorously, and a series of sparks popped up.
With a "whew", the fire burst out and expanded rapidly, instantly spreading into a sea of fire and rushing towards the forward defense line.
The wave of air from the flames sent the debris blocking the road straight into the air, smashing into the soldiers hiding behind the vehicles.
Sudden Sudden Sudden Assault!!
The gunshots rang out, dense as a torrential rain, and the raging sea of fire was shot out of craters and attacked everyone.
Edward tore off his seat belt, put his hands together, and placed them on the windshield. (No roof)
The front wind shield, which was originally only half a meter, "grew" rapidly, but it turned into an ultra-thin large cover in an instant, as if cutting off a small half of a ping pong ball and blocking all the incoming bullets.
The glass was too fragile to hold off the bullets, and Edward had "painted" it with a layer of metal to keep it off, but it didn't last long just by looking at the crater bulge that could make the dense phobia scream.
"Brother, look at this! What is this, Philosopher's Stone?! Alphonse screamed suddenly, and it turned out that he had found a red piece of liquid, solid, and glue stuck to his armor.
"It was left to us by Zhang Shen." Roy breathed a sigh of relief.
Edward grabbed it and urged the power of the Philosopher's Stone. Suddenly, the law of equivalent exchange was ignored, and the cover thickened more than a dozen layers out of thin air, and the bullets crackled on it, but there was nothing to be done.
"Take this opportunity to rush in with all your might!"
