Chapter 212: A Passerby Using the Internet
What is he going to do?
When Su Xia's figure disappeared in the Aviation Museum, everyone in the control room felt a jolt in their hearts.
"Is he going to..."
What he is going to do next is almost obvious.
With the masked man's terrifying ability to control metal, he can easily twist the steel bars inside a building, causing it to collapse, but what if he thinks that is not spectacular enough?
In that aviation museum, there are dozens of aircraft from different eras on display.
The museum's directors and security personnel had already run away, and when Su Xia arrived, the entire museum was empty.
The interior space of the venue is huge. The floor tiles are so white that they can reflect people's shadows. The ceiling is brightly lit. When you walk in, you can hear the automatic commentary around you. A large number of aircraft are either parked on the ground or suspended in the air, including early propeller multi-wing aircraft and later jet aircraft.
The development of aircraft on this planet is similar to that on Earth. In the early days, they were restricted by materials, engine technology, etc. and were mainly used for combat. Later, they gradually developed into civilian use.
When Su Xia entered the door, the first thing she was attracted by was a triplane on the left side of the gate.
"Red Baron?"
Su Xia subconsciously read out the name, because this plane was so similar to the German Fokker DR-1 triplane on Earth, almost exactly the same.
Aircraft of every era have their own unique appeal. The more advanced they are, it is not the case that the more popular they are. To this day, countless aircraft enthusiasts are still fascinated by the era when propeller planes filled the sky.
That era was full of challenges and uncertainties, and countless people yearned for the sky.
Su Xia’s personal favorite monoplane is the domestically produced CJ-6, and the multi-wing aircraft is the Fokker DR-1 triplane.
As soon as he thought about it, the surveillance equipment in the entire venue suddenly exploded with sparks and became useless.
Then, he directly put the plane into the storage space.
Time was running out and Su Xia had no time to continue appreciating it. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the rest of the planes in the venue seemed to come alive and began to tremble together.
Immediately afterwards, the steel structure on the top of the venue began to break.
“Crack…Crack…”
A crack visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared, slowly expanding, and spreading in all directions like a spider web.
The warm sunlight squeezed in through the cracks, like rays of holy light from heaven.
These planes, which have been silent for many years, are once again bathed in the baptism of nature.
When the cracks had spread almost as far as they could, Su Xia waved his hand, and the huge roof of the museum instantly shattered, turning into tiny pieces that fell from above.
Inside the venue, a huge fighter plane slowly raised its head, as if it came to life, and suddenly flew out of the museum into the sunlight, soaring in the sky again.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of planes of different ages and sizes took off one after another. The scene was spectacular, as if different times and spaces intersected in this area. The feeling of the interweaving of time and space was shocking .
Su Xia stood on one of the fighter jets and flew all the planes towards the two buildings in the city center.
Dozens of shadows were cast on the earth, like giant birds in mythology, majestic and unstoppable.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the command room gasped.
"Immediately activate the psychic cannon on the roof and activate all backup energy sources. We must shoot those damn things down at all costs!"
"Pull over all the things that can prevent and control it. We can't let that damn masked weirdo crash into our building!"
The two buildings are symbols of the two families' authority and power in Fish Scale City, occupying the most central and prosperous area of the entire city.
Just thinking about the scene of those steel monsters crashing into them made their scalps tingle.
However, more than half of all the anti-aircraft weapons that the two families could use had been destroyed in previous battles, and the remaining ones were almost in a semi-disabled state.
Moreover, these planes did not take off by their own power, but relied entirely on Su Xia's strength. As long as Su Xia was not dead, even if these planes were shot into sieves, they would not fall.
Unless the entire Fish Scale City’s air defense system is activated, but that requires the consent of the Mechanical Clan.
"Damn it, we can't stop those things!"
"Arrange for everyone in the building to evacuate. Saving your life is the most important thing. Then we can think of a way to deal with the masked man."
There are countless ordinary people working in the building, more than 30% of whom are members of the two families, and the rest are mostly employees of the two related industries.
If anything happens to them, many industries of both companies will fall into temporary chaos.
Everyone in the command room thought about evacuating as quickly as possible.
However, at this moment, Wei Zhong suddenly walked into the command room and raised his hand to stop everyone.
"No, we can't retreat!"
As the most powerful person in the two families and the current human lord of Yuling City, Wei Zhong's words carry great weight.
Even the older generation in the family have to seek his opinion on many things.
"That masked weirdo claims to be righteous, so let's satisfy his justice!" Wei Zhong said hoarsely, "Let those ordinary tribesmen stay in the building, and drive the surrounding civilians into the building as well. Move quickly, and then tell that masked weirdo to come and crash into it!"
"Boss Wei, what are you doing..."
Hearing this, the others were stunned.
The two sides have already started fighting, and the fight is almost to the death.
Now you suddenly use your own civilians as hostages to threaten the other side?
What is this operation?
Why should the masked freaks care about their civilians?
"Boss Wei, the masked man is a killer with no bottom line!" Someone said anxiously, "People like him claim to be righteous just to find an excuse for certain things . He doesn't care about these things at all. Let everyone retreat immediately!"
"No, take a gamble!"
Wei Zhong's eyes were bloodshot and his skinny body was trembling slightly. He looked like a gambler who had gone to extremes.
He was unwilling to compromise and refused to accept such a failure!
So he decided to take a gamble and use the lives of countless ordinary people to intimidate the masked man.
The people around him advised: "Boss Wei, if we do this, even if the masked man really retreats, our reputation will be ruined!"
"We're not going to force him to retreat!" Wei Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "We're going to force him to negotiate, delay time, and then set up position devices around the building. This time, we must kill him!"
"Boss Wei, there is no need to go this far. We can ask the Mechanical Tribe for help."
"No, it's not time to ask the mechanical tribe for help yet!"
Wei Zhong stared at everyone with a tough attitude and refused to listen to any other opinions.
This is a battle between the two families. If they invite the Mechanical Clan, all their previous efforts will be in vain and they will still become a laughing stock!
Seeing him gradually going crazy, the people around him didn't dare to say anything and had to do as they were told. They ordered their men to control the people in the building and drive the surrounding civilians into the building as well.
At this moment, Su Xia, who was standing on the fighter plane, let out a light exclamation.
"Something's wrong..."
He deliberately slowed down his pace in order to cause panic among the other party and make all the innocent people in the building run out.
But things seem to be moving in the opposite direction.
He stood on the plane and looked from afar. Instead of evacuating the people, the other party was driving everyone around them in.
"He's a ruthless person. He actually wants to use this method to stop me."
If Su Xia was really the legendary murderous ghost from hell, he wouldn't care about the people in those two buildings at all, so the other party was actually gambling and using this method to delay time.
Before Su Xia got close, she could already hear the shouts of countless people in the building.
Standing in the building, with nowhere to escape, watching dozens of planes getting closer and closer, you can imagine the feeling of despair.
Someone rushed towards the soldiers blocking the building downstairs, shouting, "Let us out!"
"Let me out!"
"This battle has nothing to do with us. I'm just an ordinary person working here!"
"What are the Jiang and Wei families doing? Why are they blocking the building? I'm not an employee here at all. I just came in to use the internet. Let me go..."
“…”
Before this, no one could have imagined that the battle far in the south of the city would actually spread to the bustling city center.
The terrifying shadows in the sky were getting closer.
In the streets of the city center below, countless people fled screaming.
The convoy leaving the area formed a long line, with anxious horns honking one after another. Many people brought their families with them, just to escape before Su Xia arrived.
“Ding ding—ding ding—”
Car lights were flashing, the streets were noisy, and feelings of uneasiness and panic were spreading.
In this area, the only ones who can be considered calm are the players who are not afraid of death.
The president of a large guild stood on the top of a residential building, looking up at the dozens of planes that were crossing the sky, and exclaimed sincerely: "It's really spectacular!"
This scene reminded many people of the spectacular scene in the X-Men movie where Magneto forcibly moved a stadium.
"Is this the pinnacle of strength in the gaming world? Can players achieve this?"
"Hurry up and record the screen, this is definitely the most shocking scene since the game was launched!"
“…”
To describe it with the word shocking seems a little pale.
Meanwhile, in both buildings, the mood of despair had reached its peak.
The people trying to escape attacked the blockading soldiers again and again. They took chairs, benches, mops, computer hosts, etc., smashed them at the soldiers' explosion-proof shields, used all available weapons, and some even took out guns.
But after a few gunshots, none of the soldiers responsible for blocking the attack were injured, but the employees with guns were shot dead.
"It's too late, the masked man is here!"
Seeing the countless planes right in front of them, some people sat on the ground and cried in despair.
Some people turned on their phones and made video calls to their families to see them for the last time.
"The people of these two families have gone crazy. They are willing to sacrifice everyone's life to fight against a killer. You should run away quickly. We don't know when this battle will end..."
