46 -46: First Glimpse of Brilliance!
The Confused Li Ning
Scattered gunfire traveled from far to near, on the edge of the new district, seemingly around an apartment, the alarm blaring piercingly.
Many residents rushed out, some even stumbling and falling, their expressions filled with terror.
Boom!
The outer wall of a middle floor cracked open, with several figures tumbling to the ground, one of them dressed in the uniform combat suit of the city guards, quickly darting toward a nearby cover.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The sound of gunfire erupted, stray bullets coming from three directions, aiming at the three figures opposite.
The three who had just landed moved just as swiftly, throwing two triangular metal blocks beneath them, their tips emitting lasers quickly connecting to form a glowing blue barrier that covered them, blocking the bullets.
“The people from this little place are not to be underestimated…”, the person on the right spoke in a formal interstellar common language.
The figure on the left coldly said, “If you hadn’t wasted time, we would have been done by now.”
“Their reinforcements are arriving, we need a quick resolution.” The central figure, apparently the leader, clad in a full-body silver combat suit, scanned the surroundings.
In his hands, he held someone looking terrified.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of bullet-lights, like a fire dragon from the skies, shot down, with four shuttle-like flying vehicles hovering nearby.
The light blue screen in front of them crackled and flashed with electricity, seemingly on the brink of failure.
“Reinforcements have arrived!”
The city guard who had landed earlier relaxed his expression, the crowd around him having mostly dispersed, those who hadn’t come out hiding in their homes, some even daring to peek out.
“Bai Yu, control the flying machines with the terminal from here to pressure them.
Li Ming, Li Ning, the two of you flank from the left…” Old Diao’s expression was tense, the four of them having already disembarked from the flying vehicles, crouching behind a flower bed.
“This is a residential area, we cannot allow them to escape!”
“Understood.”
“They are all F-grade life forms, with many tricks up their sleeves,” a stranger’s voice came through the channel, “I am Zhang Yuan, from team one.”
“Old Diao, team seven, none of us are F-grade life forms, we can only delay them, waiting for others to arrive, the energy barrier is about to break, get ready to fire.”
“Don’t shoot!” Zhang Yuan hastily intervened, “They’ve got the son of Chief Feng Ke—Feng Xiao.”
“What?
The son of Chief Feng?” Old Diao was stunned and couldn’t help asking, “What are the internal affair’s people messing around at now?”
“I don’t know, he has a hundred thousand bounty on him,” Zhang Yuan said helplessly, “It’s troublesome now.”
“All of you, get the hell out of the way, if we can’t leave, this kid will die very soon!” one of them grabbed Feng Xiao by the skull, bent down to his ear, his eyes sinister, “Look, their gunfire is continuous.
Once this barrier breaks, you will be the first to die here.”
Feng Xiao, originally terrified, on hearing this, suddenly roared loudly, “You idiots, stop right now, do you want to kill me!?”
“Damn it!” Old Diao frowned, calling out in a heavy voice, “Bai Yu, stop!”
The four shuttle-shaped flying vehicles immediately ceased firing, their gun barrels slowly retracting.
However, the next moment
Bang!
Bang!
Bang—
Three shots rang out non-stop, followed by several “boom” sounds as three flying vehicles turned into massive fireballs, plummeting to the ground, then exploding into even larger flames.
The lead man, holding a bulky silver revolver, aimed at Feng Ke’s head and said coldly, “You have one minute to land that remaining flying vehicle in front of me, otherwise his head will explode.”
“Do as he says,” Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth.
Old Diao, stifled with anger, could only instruct Bai Yu to remotely control the flying vehicle to land.
Just as the flying vehicle was landing, the angle of its descent momentarily created a blind spot for the three men.
Zhang Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly, and in an instant, he leapt out ten meters, his skin turning a pale blue.
The already short distance between the two parties closed in the blink of an eye, his hefty electric baton crashing down onto the shoulders of the lead man.
Crackling!
The leader’s face slightly changed, his arm numbing, Feng Xiao hit the ground, and his escape was swift, dashing out in an instant.
He too was an F-grade life form.
