Chapter 178: Blood and Fire: Hell on Earth
The meteor shower is a very beautiful sight, crossing the horizon and completely burning life into light and heat, turning into a gorgeous and charming scene in the sky, and also making couples make wishes for them in a fleeting way.
But when they fall down on themselves and don't burn up when they reach the ground, their original beauty turns into a ruined death.
A meteorite the size of a basketball can pierce a building, and can smash a huge crater on the ground that a large missile has bombarded, and if a meteorite the size of a van is really captured and fell from the earth's gravity by the spaceship, then once it falls to the ground with incomparable kinetic energy, it is equivalent to the direct bombardment of a large-yield nuclear bomb!
Nowadays, these "meteorites" falling from the sky do not have the speed of more than ten kilometers per second of real extraterrestrial meteorites, and their size is only close to that of basketballs, but their destructive power is not at all smaller than that of the same meteorite...... Because this is not a simple stone, but a bomb with destructive power!
Wickedly like a person was added to the material of a tracer bullet at the front end, and they only fell to the ground at several times the speed of sound, and they had a real meteorite-like flame tail, and the large dose of Octo's charge of the warhead also gave them a real meteorite-like destructive power.
In an instant, the sky fell apart.
Witnessing the tragic scene that is taking place, the people of Cairo can only think of this adjective at this moment.
The meteorite with its scorching tail slammed to the ground, but before the powerful impact of the fall could erupt, an unparalleled explosion had completely submerged it from the inside, which was simply a direct bombardment of an air-to-surface missile. The devastating heat of the flames and the violent impact turned everything around them, whether houses, rocks, or the ground, into shattered ashes in the blink of an eye!
Within the range of the explosion, several civilians didn't even have time to scream, and were completely evaporated by the deadly heat without a sound, and the people who were a little closer outside the explosion range were also blown apart by the violent shock wave that burst out immediately, and those farther away were also directly knocked to the ground by the powerful air waves......
The flames, roars, and explosions also woke up the sleeping soldiers, and the soldiers who ran out of the barracks didn't even have their clothes to penetrate, picked up their rifles, machine guns, and even anti-aircraft guns, and then joined their night shift companions in frantically tilting their ammunition at the warped black shadows in the air.
But. Nothing worked.
Bullets and cannonballs of various powers swept through the middle as if they had hit a real cloud, and did not cause any effective damage to the Black Shadow except for a few "meteorites" that were hit by the bullets and detonated so that a few brilliant fireballs exploded in the air. The devastation of Cairo by those horrific meteorites has not stopped in the slightest!
In a matter of moments, the tranquil city of Cairo has become a hell of blood and fire.
"This, this, this can't ......!"
At this time, the Governor's Palace witnessed a meteorite that fell not far away completely blow up a house and the surrounding people who did not have time to escape. Whether it was the Governor of Cairo or Eve, they could hardly believe their eyes.
At this time, World War II had not yet begun, the load capacity of the aircraft was limited, and the bomber tactics had not yet taken shape, such a devastating scene only existed in legends, but Eve muttered a very mysterious word like a meteor shower.
But when the Governor showed the pale face of the dead family at this moment, O'Connor and Jonathan grabbed Eve, who was still about to say something, and undoubtedly dragged the ancient princess to the already hellish streets, wanting to quickly get out of this dangerous area that would break her bones if she was not careful.
However, this woman, who was overflowing with love, was a little unappreciative, and struggled desperately to break away from O'Connor's arm, and she yelled angrily, "Let go of me." I can't give up on the civilians and run away on their own! ”
"Smack!"
She was responded with a loud slap that knocked all the words she wanted to continue back into her stomach, and O'Connor, who had shown his iron-blooded true face at this time, also roared, "Enough! You are not a princess of 3,000 years ago, just an ordinary librarian. You can't save them, and you're not obligated to save them again! ”
"You—you hit me?" This slap suddenly stunned Eve, and she immediately stood in place and squeezed out a broken cry, but before the tears could fall, she received a reluctant good news.
"I am the Governor, Cairo has been attacked by demons! The valiant British soldiers, it is time to show the grace of the empire on which the sun never sets, and stop the ineffective attack. Immediately guide the civilians out of the city! Repeat, this is not a drill! This is not a drill! ”
The city's uncut radio was constantly broadcasting such an order, and the originally chaotic scene suddenly improved a little, although meteorites continued to fall overhead, turning a certain area into a sea of fire, but when the rapidly regrouped British garrison turned the muzzle of the gun aimed at the huge to the chaotic crowd, order was quickly maintained and the evacuation began with high efficiency under the command.
Strange to say, those meteorites were like they had eyes, and none of them fell into the dense crowd of evacuees, but their rear was blown to pieces one after another, forcing them to run with all their strength without any slackness...... But that's overall good news, isn't it?
And seeing that the evacuation order that she had tried so hard to and was unsuccessful before was finally issued at such a time, Eve's face suddenly changed with relief, "Book, it's bad! We're going to the Cairo Museum, the curator is still there, and so are my books! ”
“……”
This time it was the turn of the two men to be stunned, and the role switch between the ancient princess and the librarian was too sudden, right?
However, they did not object to this proposal, and there happened to be a direct shortcut out of the city in the direction of the museum, and it happened to be possible to get out of the city as quickly as possible.
However, how to get over it is a very serious and big problem.
When they came, the horses that "led the sheep" ran away when the turmoil broke out, in fact, even if they were still there, they would never dare to ride, and at this time a madman would definitely die very miserably.
So, keep running......
Just looking at Eve's unwavering eyes, Jonathan almost collapsed against the wall again.
"Oh no, Eve...... Running again? ”
But perhaps today was their lucky day, and as Jonathan wailed exaggeratedly and Eve tried to pull him up, they suddenly heard a loud, somewhat familiar noise from a distance.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom......!"
Jonathan's expression changed for a moment, and he muttered to himself in a strange way, "Uh, what's that sound?" ”
Eve blew up and gave a closer guess, "Sounds like an engine, is it an airplane?" ”
In the end, O'Connor shook his head and gave the correct answer, "No, it's the engine...... It's that guy's motorcycle! ”
It has more power than an airplane, and can fly faster than an airplane on the ground......
From the flames blocking the street on the other side, a domineering quad bike jumped out and stopped in front of Eve with a gorgeous tail flick.
Then, Xiao Lan, who made her debut as a knight, pushed a pair of large sunglasses on the bridge of her nose at some point, and made an absolutely timely and appropriate suggestion to the slightly playful opening of the three people on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Want to hitchhike? ”
Without waiting for Eve to speak, Jonathan, who jumped up from the ground at once, opened his mouth first, "Of course, we are going to the Cairo Museum!" ”
After that, he and O'Connor pulled the woman into the car without asking Eve's permission, and grabbed the seat belt with the prescient look in her eyes.
The next moment, Xiao Lan, who had a chuckle on his face, twisted the accelerator very casually, and the super-high-powered motorcycle roared on the streets with a hellish scene, although the ground was full of potholes and piles of collapsed houses and rubble after several rounds of bombardment, but the off-road performance was excellent, and this quad bike ran at a high speed of seventy yards on this kind of road!
And just as they left the place with a scream, a "meteorite" fell from the sky just right, and under the stunned gaze of Eve, the Doge's Palace was reduced to a burning ruin.
The voice, which was dominated by female screams, suddenly stopped abruptly.
Perhaps surprised by the meteorite's destructive power and the coincidental timing of its fall, the woman was silent for a while before slowly speaking.
"These meteorites, as well as the black shadow just now, should all be controlled by you, right?" In a deep voice, Eve asked, "You told me to evacuate the civilians, you liars...... Why attack directly! ”
The motorcycle drove past and saw countless tragic situations along the way, including many corpses that were blown up and burned and killed by bullets, and even O'Connor, who had seen the cruelty of the battlefield, turned his head away, how could Eve, a woman who had never seen such a tragic situation as a princess or a librarian, endure?
But Xiao Lan's answer immediately made her completely speechless for a while.
"Didn't you try, or because you couldn't do it, I used my own way......" he said without looking back, still maintaining that indescribable faint smile, "If it weren't for the sacrifice of such people, the governor would have decided to evacuate without any doubts?" ”
"Of course, you also have a credit for this - if you don't wake him up, this situation will be treated as an enemy attack, and they will decide to hold on instead of evacuate, and then we will be very troubled and have to let them be buried with the city."
Very well-founded and unmistakable, but looking at the priest's indifferent expression, the three of Eve unconsciously shuddered.
It's just like a normal conversation, but at such an instant, who knows that hundreds or even thousands of people are so decided to die?
Fastest update, please.
