Chapter 48 Central Square
Wu Yuanyi heard Leng Xuebing's words, pulled Xiaobei up, walked to the front and led the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info looked back as he walked and said, "I'll take you to the central square of Sennan Castle, which is the most prosperous business district in Sennan Castle, and there is everything. ”
The central square of Sennan Castle is a circular plaza, and around the square is a ring of four or five storeys of buildings, which are inhabited by high-end shops, entertainment stores, and restaurants. On all four sides of the circular building, there is a huge passage that leads to the central square, through which all passenger traffic enters and exits.
There is a wide ring road on the inside of the ring building, and there are many open-air cafes and beverage shops on the ring road, so it's nice to sit and have a drink.
There is an artificial river with clear water between the ring road and the square, and the koi fish swim around, which adds spirituality to the whole central square! On both sides of the river, pedestrians stay and play happily.
Cross the wide flat bridge over the river and you will reach the central square. The circular central square has a diameter of at least three or four kilometers, and is divided into a central circular activity area, a flower viewing area, a recreation area, a pedestrian area, an exhibition area and other areas.
As soon as they arrived at the central square, the three girls, Leng Xuebing, Li Yingtian and Xu Feitong, were attracted by the shops in the circular building. They went from shop to store, and the more they shopped, the more interested they became.
Wu Yuanyi and Xiaobei followed behind the girls, visited a few stores, and bought a few books, but they really had no interest in continuing. There is an open-air café on the ring road that happens to see the river from inside the ring building. In the sun, some customers sit in the open-air café, chatting over coffee, which looks very cozy.
Wu Yuanyi said to the three girls: "You can go around as you like, Xiaobei and I will go to the open-air café outside to sit for a meeting, and you will come out to find us after you have finished shopping." After speaking, he pulled Xiaobei out of the circular building, found a table in the open-air café and sat down, ordered a cup of coffee with Xiaobei, and enjoyed drinking coffee and reading books.
Wu Yuanyi and Xiaobei sat in the open-air café for more than an hour, chatting a few words for a while, reading a book for a while, basking in the sun, drinking coffee, and indescribably comfortable. The three girls were shopping for their own groceries and didn't come to disturb them.
"Boom!" There was a sudden flash of light in the central square, Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi felt a strong shock, and then saw an explosion cloud rising into the sky, and at the same time, there were all kinds of cries, screams, and cries for help in the center of the square.
Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi stood up, glanced at the center of the square, and then looked at each other. Xiaobei immediately released his spiritual energy to detect and share it with Wu Yuanyi. As soon as they looked at the picture, they thought at the same time: Terrorist attack! Immediately they jumped up at the same time, jumped over the river, and rushed towards the center of the square.
The people of Sennan City are accustomed to living a peaceful life, and have not experienced terrorist attacks at all, and many people on the periphery of the square are not aware of the danger, and they still stand and watch to see what is happening? Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi rushed all the way in, shouting: "Run away, there is an explosion inside and kills people, don't run away from danger." The person who heard it suddenly realized and hurried out.
Xiaobei counted the number of terrorist attackers as he rushed in, adding up to as many as 50 people, nearly 30 people concentrated in the circular activity area in the center of the square, and three or four groups of people attacked other areas from the center.
Xiaobei shouted to Wu Yuanyi: "Solve the periphery first, and then deal with the center, you left and I right." ”
"Okay, let's converge and deal with the central attackers together. After Wu Yuanyi finished speaking, he rushed towards the attacker on the left. Xiaobei's feet did not slow down and rushed towards the attacker on the right.
"Help!" Xiaobei saw that several people had fallen in front of him, and a young woman was crawling on the ground trying to escape, shouting loudly. Behind her, two assailants in black suits and black pullovers of makeup ran towards her. Seeing this, Xiaobei jumped up, somersaulting in the air, with the short knife in his hand already in hand, and swung it at the two attackers.
The two black-clad attackers had slaughtered a dozen or twenty people very easily, looking at the prey in front of them and thinking about running over and stabbing her. I didn't expect someone to pounce from the air, and the cold light flashed, and the two black-clothed attackers didn't have time to react, and they were already bleeding from their necks, and they fell down without saying a word.
Xiaobei turned to the young woman and said, "The front is safe, get up quickly and flee." Then he turned around and continued to the right to look for the other assailants.
When Wu Yuanyi rushed to the left, the round shield in his right hand and the thorn shield in his left hand were already in his hands. In front of him, more than a dozen citizens ran desperately out, and the three black-clothed attackers behind him followed closely, raising their shiny knives and guns in their hands, chasing and killing the citizens. Wu Yuanyi rushed and waved his right hand, and the round shield flew out and hit the chest of one of the black-clothed attackers in front, and the black-clothed attacker fell in response, and after the round shield knocked down the black-clothed attacker, it flew back into Wu Yuanyi's hands. The other two black-clothed attackers were taken aback, but quickly rushed towards Wu Yuanyi with knives. Wu Yuanyi smiled coldly, continued to rush forward, in front of the two black-clothed attackers, the double shield slammed, directly shaking the knives of the two attackers away, and then the double shield struck again, and the two black-clothed attackers were hit in the chest, spitting blood and falling down.
After killing the three black-clad attackers, Wu Yuanyi stopped an adult and asked him to help pick up a boy and flee, then continued to run to the left.
The black-clothed attackers on the periphery of the center of the square were the weakest attackers, they had the ability to slaughter citizens, but they were still vulnerable in front of Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi. Two or three minutes later, the more than a dozen black-clothed attackers on the periphery were all cleaned up by Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi, and hundreds of citizens escaped and saved their lives.
After Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi converged, they detected the central circular activity area, where at least two or three hundred people were abducted by black-clothed attackers, and more than thirty black-clothed attackers surrounded this area. There were too many hostages being taken, and there were more than thirty black-clothed attackers, in order to ensure the safety of the hostages, Xiaobei and Wu Yuanyi decided not to attack the circular activity area first, but to lurk around, looking for better opportunities.
The black-clad attackers did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, nor to retreat, but waited patiently.
Twenty minutes later, the city guards of Sennan City rushed over after hearing the news and besieged the central square, and the general of the guard army called the black-clad attackers to lay down their arms and surrender.
The black-clothed attackers laughed and shouted, "If you want the lives of these three hundred people in the center of the square, go to the supreme consul of Sennan City!" and then warn the guards: "Don't move, there is a huge explosive bag in the middle of these three hundred hostages, as long as you rush over, this explosive bag will explode, and all the hostages will fly into the sky." ”
Seeing the large number of hostages, the general of the Sennan Castle Guard did not dare to act without authorization. On the one hand, he informed all the guards not to take offensive measures, and on the other hand, he immediately sent someone to report the terrorist attack on the central square to the Archon of Sennan Castle, and asked the consul to come to the scene to direct the action. In addition, he arranged for the soldiers to call out to the black-clad attackers, telling them that they had gone to ask for the consul, and that the consul would be on the scene in about half an hour.
Twenty minutes later, Helian Shi, the consul of Sennan City, came to the central square, and by his side was Prince Yi.
When Archon Helian Shi arrived at the scene, he immediately personally shouted to the black-clothed attacker: "I am Helian Shi, the Archon of Sennan City, who are you, and why do you want to harm the ordinary people of Sennan City?"
The leader of the black-clothed attackers walked out and shouted coldly: "I have heard the name of Archon He for a long time, and it is really an honor to see him today! ”
Seeing that the black-clothed attacker dared to threaten him, Helian Shi was about to shout and condemn the leader of the black-clothed attacker, when Prince Yi on the side touched him and shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Helian Shi changed his tone and asked, "What do you want?" ”
The leader of the black-clothed raiders still replied coldly: "We want to borrow a billion Zehai Empire coins, please Archon He agree as soon as possible, we will give you an hour, if you don't agree, we will not be welcome." ”
"What?One billion Zehai Imperial Coins?" With such a huge amount, Helian Shi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and the Prince Yi beside him also frowned, and he was very surprised by the lion of the black-clothed attacker.
Xiao Bei, who had already changed into a black-clothed attacker's costume and blended into the central circular activity area, suddenly moved in his heart, and he told Wu Yuanyi in the spiritual energy detection sharing: The incident in the central square should be just a cover, the black-clothed attackers are aiming at the Zehai Imperial Coin, and it is very likely that another group of black-clothed attackers will attack the official silver treasury of Sennan City, you go out as soon as possible and bring this information to your father and Archon He, and find Leng Xuebing and the three of them to intercept the black-clothed attackers together. It was up to him to protect the hostages in his own way.
Wu Yuanyi received the information and understood Xiaobei's judgment. He pretended to patrol the periphery, found an opportunity that no one saw, slipped out of the circular activity area, took off his black clothes, and ran towards Prince Yi and Helian Shi.
Here, Helian Shi was bargaining with the leader of the black-clothed raiders: "One billion Zehai Imperial Coins, impossible! Such a huge amount, even if there is one, it will take two or three days to prepare." ”
The leader of the black-clothed attackers sneered: "Sennan City, the richest city in the north of the Zehai Empire, can't come up with a billion Zehai Empire coins, isn't that a joke?
Helian Shi and Prince Yi glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts that someone must have betrayed the news to the black-clothed attackers, they had planned it in advance, and it was impossible to deceive these people.
