Chapter 166
Rong Yuan stood against the wall, his eyes cold.
Although Alpha and Pea were not with him, they kept in touch. Since Todd came to the third floor, he had been under Alpha's surveillance. Of course, the surveillance inside the hotel was all turned off, so Alpha didn't know what was happening inside, but he could check the situation on the scene through the communication tools of Kurita Yu and others who entered the hotel later, and make inferences about what happened before.
Alpha told Rong Yuan exactly what Todd had just done.
"…There are 65 dead in total. Except for the hotel owner Fei Bing and the waitress Yimei, the others have nothing to do with the spy incident. Todd himself should be aware of this, but he still killed everyone. Now the ship owner Kurita on the third floor is cleaning up the bodies with his subordinates. Todd will appear in front of you in ten minutes and twenty-three seconds."
At this moment, Rong Yuan's heart was full of murderous intent, but in fact he did not feel angry, he just felt a little tired.
Why is the world always like this?
Treating fellow humans like pigs and dogs, trampling on lives without a second thought, without any sense of guilt. Born as a human being, but not considering oneself as a human being.
Rong Yuan had seen this kind of thing too many times. But no matter how many times he had seen it, he still felt that he could not understand it and could not forgive it.
But it doesn't matter, he can't control what happened in the past, but he can still control what's happening now. Soon, these people will pay the price for what they have done.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Rong Yuan could already see the first car of Todd's team coming into view. He stood up straight and raised his right hand slightly.
The vehicle that Todd was riding in had the highest level of protection in Liukasao. Ordinary attacks could not even leave a mark on the surface of the hovercraft. But Rong Yuan's string force could cut through space. In front of the space crack, any physical defense layer was like paper.
"boom--"
Without any warning, the glass of a roadside store suddenly exploded! A huge monster rushed towards the convoy with a shocking sound. At the same time, several terrifying attacks with flashing flames had completely covered the convoy!
The thing that suddenly attacked Todd's convoy turned out to be a mecha!
The incident happened so suddenly that even Rong Yuan was stunned.
He had seen that mecha before, or rather, many people here had seen it, but he never paid much attention to it. It was a small mecha for display, and had always been placed in the display window of a mecha repair shop. With smooth lines and a majestic posture, even though it was only a small mecha with a height of more than ten meters, it was still the dream lover of many men here.
Of course, as a display item, this mecha is actually just a showpiece. Not only is there no energy block inside, but even the engine, weapons, operating system and so on have been dismantled. Only the outer shell and cockpit are retained. During holidays, the owner of the repair shop will open the display window and let some children get into the cockpit to take pictures.
In fact, although each floor of Suoka Si'ao is as high as 100 meters and the buildings on each floor are very solid, this "solidity" is only relative. These buildings, including the floors of the spacecraft itself, are not good enough in front of the powerful firepower of the mecha. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to activate and use mechas inside Suoka Si'ao. Violators, no matter for what reason, will become the first-level wanted criminals of the spacecraft and will be strangled by the fighting department and the supervision department. Even the mechas that the sponsor adventurers need to repair and purchase must be towed away with a tractor after the energy blocks are removed.
Most people here have touched mechas with their own hands, watched videos of mecha battles, and played holographic mecha battle games on the Internet, but many of them may never have actually seen a mecha in action in their entire lives.
But now, it appeared without warning on the crowded streets and began to attack recklessly. The eight propulsion engines behind it spewed golden orange flames. The high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees made the air around it seem to be distorted, and the surrounding buildings were ruthlessly set on fire. Then, thick smoke and flames covered the convoy, and continuous explosions rumbled.
The pedestrians on the road were stunned for a moment before they immediately began to cry and run away. However, the human body was more fragile than paper in front of the mecha. Not to mention the people in the attack range, even those who were just brushed by the mecha lost their breath in an instant. In just a few seconds, the street that was just bustling and peaceful had turned into hell.
Even though it caused such heavy casualties, the mecha did not stop. It pulled the trigger frantically, and countless attacks were fired from its shoulders, elbows, legs and palms at the smoke covering the convoy. At the same time, a dark blue bullet popped out of the magazine.
High-energy vibration bomb!
If this shockwave bomb exploded here, no matter how strong the defense of the vehicle Todd was riding in was, his internal organs, eyeballs, brain, etc. would instantly turn into a mass of paste, and he would definitely die. But at the same time, everyone on this street, including the driver hiding in the mecha, would also be doomed.
This was an assassin who was determined to die. Not only did he not care about the lives of others, he even disregarded his own life and death. He planned to die together with Todd and others from the very beginning!
But at this moment, the mecha suddenly stopped with a click, as if all its joints were rusted. From extreme movement to extreme stillness, some parts of this huge monster made a "crackling" sound, and an arm fell to the ground with a clang, the broken ends were jagged, like fangs.
Rong Yuan had driven a mecha before when he was in the Feiyan team, but he almost never touched it after he went alone. Because no matter how powerful the mecha was, it was just a lamb to be slaughtered in front of him.
This sudden change made the assassin extremely shocked. He couldn't understand why the mecha, which had been working fine during the previous self-inspection, broke down at this moment.
Is it really because it has been in the display window for too long and has aged?
He did not think that this was caused by someone else's attack, because he did not know what kind of attack could cause such an incredible result, and he did not have time to think about it. After a moment of astonishment and annoyance, the assassin opened the cockpit and jumped out of the air.
He was wearing a gray-white exoskeleton armor, with all his skin covered behind the alloy armor. He looked like an old robot that was about to be thrown into the garbage dump. He held a laser gun as thick as his arm in his hand and stared coldly at the smoke and flames in front of him.
At the same time, the bracelets of many people on the third floor made a "ding dong" sound. It was a message sent by the central intelligent computer Aoqi.
[General Supervisor Todd was assassinated on Fifth Avenue in the Newton District on the third floor. People nearby are requested to stay away from the danger zone as soon as possible. If conditions permit, please try to rescue him.]
Suddenly, some people who were fleeing in panic stopped unconsciously, hid in places they thought were safe, hesitated, and looked at the explosion area with strange eyes.
The high temperature and explosion activated the automatic fire-fighting system of Liukasao. A simulated image of a dark cloud quickly formed on the top of the cabin a hundred meters above the ground. At the same time, dozens of nozzles were extended, and countless streams of water poured down. The smoke and dust were washed away, and white steam rose in some places.
The tragic condition of the convoy appeared before everyone.
The first few hovercrafts were torn into pieces by the powerful firepower without any preparation, and only a few charred remains of the people inside were left.
Although the people behind him held up the protective shield, it only extended their lives by one or two seconds at most. When the hovercraft was first designed, it was not thought that it could withstand the attack of the mecha, let alone such close-range shooting and explosions.
The vehicles were lying on the ground in all directions, some were blown far away by the storm, all the cars were blown to pieces, and the people in the cars were almost all dead. Only a few people with incomplete limbs and blurred faces were still twitching slightly and uttering intermittent groans.
The assassin did not hesitate and decisively ended their lives with two shots, then began to check each car one by one.
The shrill alarm had already sounded, and the fighting team would arrive soon. But the man took his time, still carefully examining each body, even the fragments blown away by the storm.
Some people who were brave enough to stand at a distance and watch knew that he was looking for Todd.
Everyone felt very complicated.
On the one hand, they hated this assassin who actually opened fire in the street; but on the other hand, he came to assassinate Todd, the Chief of the Inspectorate. In some people's minds, this assassin was a lone hero.
Compared to the assassin, everyone's hatred and fear of Todd is more profound.
Moreover, the assassin will surely be caught and executed by the Fighting Department soon, and Todd...if such a terrible assassination cannot kill him, then there may be no chance in the future.
For a moment, the whole street seemed to be quiet. Everyone held their breath and looked for the assassin unconsciously. Everyone had only one question in their mind -
Is Todd really dead?
Rongyuan knew the answer earlier than anyone else.
The smoke and flames from the explosion could not block his sight. Rong Yuan saw that at the moment of the attack, a person with a pure and deep black soul in the convoy activated his protection, then broke through the vehicle and shot towards the building next to it. He reacted decisively and moved very quickly, but still failed to escape the attack area in time.
Todd was seriously injured at this time, and his vitality was drained away like a flood. He should have injected himself with some kind of injection to temporarily relieve the injury, but if he did not get treatment in time, he would still die.
He hid in the building next to him, but the glass of all the surrounding buildings was shattered, and he couldn't see anything different about the house from the outside. But after the assassin checked all the bodies, he would definitely use the life search device to check the living people nearby one by one, and Todd couldn't hide for long.
Rong Yuan's perception penetrated the thick wall and "saw" several people around Todd. They should be a family of four, with the parents holding a larger boy and kneeling on the ground, trembling, while a smaller girl was held hostage by Todd.
Rong Yuan twirled his fingers and looked at the assassin who had been searched to the end. He did not make a move immediately. Instead, a few transparent, spider- like things floated over and entangled the family of four.
With this little gadget, he can save their lives. Medical care is very advanced nowadays, as long as there is life, no matter how serious the injury is, it can be cured.
As a rare Klao, Todd's body shape, bones, skin, teeth, etc. are different from those of ordinary people, and his characteristics are obvious. Even if his body was burned into a pile of charcoal, it would not be unrecognizable.
But the assassin had already blown the last car to pieces and still hadn't found his target.
His gaze turned to the surrounding buildings. Although the eyes behind the mask could not be seen clearly, everyone could feel a chilling murderous intent.
At this moment, the girl who was being held hostage let out a small cry, not knowing whether it was out of fear or discomfort. Although her mouth was quickly covered again, it was like a thunderclap in the silent street.
The assassin's eyes immediately turned away, as if he had pierced through the wall and saw Todd hiding inside.
He tilted his head and walked over slowly.
