Chapter 513: Night of Slaughter
"That's how it is..."
Su Xia gently placed a miniature recorder on the desk, which recorded most of what he had observed during this period.
Among them is the scene of Hu Li meeting with those people from outside the city.
He told the old dean the whole story.
At first, the old dean still had a smile on his face and was very happy that Su Xia came.
But gradually, the smile on his face disappeared.
He was silent for a long time.
Hu Li is his nephew, and he raised him personally.
In the past years, he basically treated Hu Li as half a son, never treated him unfairly, taught him with all his might, and provided him with the best growth resources in the entire Longcheng.
Why did Hu Li make that choice?
He betrayed his own city, joined forces with outsiders, launched a rebellion, and destroyed the existing order in Dragon City without even considering how many people would die because of him.
“This child…”
The old dean felt upset and closed his eyes, a trace of pain appearing on his old face.
When faced with major issues, the old dean knows what to choose.
He would choose Dragon City.
This meant that he had to personally get rid of the child he had raised.
The old dean could never understand why Hu Li did that. Was it to grab the position of city lord?
But with his ability and identity, as long as he doesn't take the wrong path, the position of city lord will almost certainly fall on him in the future.
After a long while, the old dean opened his eyes, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you, Commander." He looked at Su Xia, said this, and then let out a long sigh.
"You're welcome." Su Xia said calmly.
"Commander, please wait here for a moment. I need to see the city lord."
The old dean took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort and pain in his heart, supported his old body with both hands, and slowly stood up.
He wanted to meet the old city lord, explain the situation, and get the authority to mobilize the Dragon City soldiers.
"Commander, the city lord doesn't know much about your situation. If I take you to see him, he might become suspicious. I'm really sorry." The old dean explained to Su Xia.
"It's okay, I understand." Su Xia replied.
The city lord Su Yulong, a man whose name and appearance are exactly the same as Su Xia's father, is currently recuperating in the underground secret room of the academy.
Of course, according to external reports, he was lying in the central hospital receiving treatment.
This kind of reporting is just to stabilize the people's hearts.
The person lying in the central hospital is just his substitute.
Even in the academy, only a very few people knew the news.
The old dean did not leave his office and pressed a button under his desk.
Then, there was a slight "click" sound, and the wall behind him began to move, slowly retreating, revealing a deep staircase leading underground.
"Commander, wait a moment."
After saying that, the old dean turned around and went underground.
Su Xia looked calm. Although he did not move, his nanorobots followed him.
About seventy meters deep underground, there is a huge space filled with various firearms and weapons. It is actually an underground arsenal.
At the edge of this armory, there are several separate small rooms.
The old dean walked into one of the rooms.
Su Xia's nanorobot followed him, entered the room, and saw the man lying on the hospital bed.
"It's really him..."
Su Xia's heart trembled. Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, when he actually saw his father, all kinds of emotions still surged up along with his memories.
Su Yulong, his father, had been dead on Earth for more than ten years.
It has been so long that Su Xia's memory has become a lot more blurred.
And today, those images deep in her mind gradually became clear again, making Su Xia feel inexplicably complicated.
In front of the bed, the old dean elaborated on the current situation of Longcheng and Su Xia's discovery in detail, then talked about his personal thoughts and recommended Su Xia to Su Yulong.
Su Yulong looked solemn. Although he was still injured, his dignity remained unchanged. He said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"Beifeng is outside." The old dean mentioned Su Xia again.
"I will meet him in person when this is over."
"I'll tell him."
The exchange between the two did not last long.
Su Yulong trusted the old dean very much, so he directly delegated power to him and handed over the power of the entire Longcheng to the old dean.
Soon, the old dean left the room, went up the stairs and returned to his office on the ground floor.
With a slight "click" sound, the wall behind him slowly returned to its previous appearance, with no signs of movement.
"Commander, we can start the action now." The old dean said in a low voice.
"good!"
Su Xia looked at the time. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
The night is dark.
Dragon City was very quiet during the curfew, like a sleeping baby.
The two men acted separately, and the old dean mobilized special warfare soldiers to be responsible for the large-scale arrest of relevant personnel.
Su Xia was responsible for dealing with key figures, such as those from Lion City and Eagle City.
Just like that, the quiet of the night was broken.
Half an hour later, a gunshot was heard, officially opening the bloody curtain of this night.
"Bang--!"
After the gunshot, a researcher from the 031 Institute fell in a pool of blood.
He also had a gun in his hand and intended to resist, but the Longcheng special forces soldier reacted faster than him and ended his life with one shot.
Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out one after another in various parts of Longcheng.
Countless people were awakened from their sleep.
People were in a panic, some thought it was a civil unrest, others thought it was an attack by the mechanical tribe.
But soon, an official text message from Yitiaolongcheng appeared in people's communicators.
【Notice: There will be an exercise tonight】
It was a very brief notification text message, so short that it didn’t even seem official.
But after seeing the text message, people's emotions stabilized a lot, and most people lay back in bed with peace of mind.
Still, a few were anxious, especially those who had been included in the rebellion plan.
The continuous gunfire outside, as well as the armored vehicles and special warfare soldiers carrying out blockade missions at various intersections, all indicate that what is happening tonight is far more than just an exercise.
"Damn it, something happened!"
Qin Shou stood in front of the window of his living room with a gloomy face.
Through the glass window, he could clearly see that there were more than ten armored vehicles parked downstairs of his house.
Countless special forces soldiers surrounded his house, with the cold muzzles of their guns pointed at his doors and windows, blocking all his escape routes.
In the sky, drones were hovering and buzzing.
A black car drove slowly and stopped downstairs.
The car door opened, and the old dean got out of the car expressionlessly. Then he raised his head, and his old eyes looked through the cold window, meeting Qin Shou's gaze at a distance.
Qin Shou's face turned pale and he clenched his fists.
"How did this old man know? Did Hu Li leak the news?"
The first person he thought of was Hu Li. After all, Hu Li was the old dean's nephew and had been raised by the old dean for more than 20 years.
But what he didn't know was that Hu Li also thought of him first.
At this moment, Hu Li was also looking at the large number of armored vehicles and soldiers downstairs of his house, his face looking extremely ugly.
"How could this happen? Did Qin Shou leak the news?"
Hu Li's expression was uncertain. He had never thought that he would fail. Since he was a child, he felt that whatever he did should be successful.
Failure is a taste that only mediocre people will experience, but Hu Li is a smart man!
He took into account everyone's thoughts and calculated the bargaining chips of all parties.
He put in a lot of thought, even taking the risk of killing the old city lord, and finally created the current scene.
You shouldn't fail!
"Which link went wrong?"
He couldn't figure it out and kept replaying his actions of the past few days in his mind.
until……
A strange figure suddenly appeared in his sight, and he understood the reason for the incident.
It was a very young man, about his age.
The man was standing outside the window and glanced at him with an indifferent look, as if he was looking at a corpse.
"North Wind!"
Hu Li gritted his teeth, his eyes almost bursting with anger!
He recognized the man at a glance.
The young man who was said to be better than him, more successful than him, and more suitable to be a leader than him, the legendary Commander North Wind!
"When did he come? Why didn't I get any news about the activation of my ID card? Did that old guy trick me?"
At this moment, the figure of the old dean emerged in Hu Li's mind.
He would rather believe that he was defeated by the old dean.
Perhaps the old dean had noticed something was wrong with him a long time ago, so he allowed him to act, using him as bait to expose his entire plan?
Hu Li could only think in this direction, because he didn't want to believe that he was defeated by Su Xia, that would make him very uncomfortable.
Su Xia stood downstairs with a calm expression, glancing at Hu Li upstairs.
The next moment, he jumped suddenly.
"boom!"
The whole person turned into an afterimage, instantly shattered the glass upstairs, and grabbed Hu Li's neck.
The speed was so fast that the soldiers below couldn't see it clearly.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of them.
Boom!
It’s Hu Li.
This young level 4 creature didn't even have time to react before he was subdued by Su Xia on the spot.
In terms of combat strength and combat experience, Su Xia is far ahead of him.
"North Wind!"
Hu Li was unwilling and extremely angry, and shouted loudly.
He was in a very miserable state now, his body was covered with blood from broken glass, his clothes were torn, and he had psychic suppressors on his neck and hands. He was thrown on the ground like a piece of garbage.
"Is there something wrong?" Su Xia asked calmly.
"Don't be so proud, I didn't lose to you!" Hu Li said angrily.
"oh."
Su Xia spoke casually and glanced at him indifferently.
After saying that, he turned into a shadow and disappeared, leaving no chance for Hu Li to speak again.
His tone was very flat, without a trace of emotion, as if he was treating an ordinary passerby, and he did not take Hu Li seriously at all.
This kind of contempt made Hu Li's eyes red and he felt extremely humiliated.
But there was nothing he could do now. He could only pound the ground and lie on the ground, feeling helpless and angry.
…
Under the cover of night, Su Xia moved around like a ghost.
Not long after, he arrived at the club where the Lion City and Dragon City members were hiding.
Perhaps knowing that the plan had been exposed, those people were filled with anxiety and were contacting the external contact points in their two cities, hoping that the outside contact points could send someone in to rescue them.
But just as they got in touch, Su Xia came to the door.
"boom!"
He looked cold and violently broke into the room, kicking the door open with one foot.
Everyone in the room was shocked.
They turned to look at where Su Xia was, some with surprise on their faces, some with murderous looks on their faces. One of them drew his weapon on the spot and shot Su Xia directly in the head.
With a bang, a bullet fell in front of Su Xia, but failed to penetrate his psychic shield.
The powerful spiritual energy that erupted from his body was like a boundless tide, crushing over the men and almost suffocating them.
"Damn, it's a level six creature!"
Several of them looked pale and desperate.
Level six creatures, even in Lion City and Eagle City, are all at the level of city lords or deputy city lords.
Facing a level six creature directly was equivalent to facing death directly.
So they simply gave up resistance.
It is possible to survive if you don't resist. After all, the seven major human settlements are still an alliance on the surface and have not torn each other apart.
They could perhaps be used as trading items and then exchanged for supplies from their own cities.
At this time, a voice came from the communicator behind them: "Friends in Dragon City, please listen to me. We have no ill intentions. We do this only for the unity of all mankind."
The other end of the communicator is the contact point set up by Lion City and Eagle City outside Dragon City.
Through the sounds of breaking the door and gunshots just now, the people at the contact point had already analyzed the situation, so they made a sound and tried to stabilize Su Xia first.
But the next second , he heard a scream.
Su Xia raised his sword with a cold expression, and cut off the arm of the gunman with one sword.
"ah!"
Afterwards, without giving the man any chance to explain, he swung his sword again, cleanly and neatly, cutting off the man 's other arm.
The man screamed in agony, blood gushed out from his broken arm, his facial features were twisted in pain, and he fell down into a pool of blood, wailing.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the other people turned even paler, as white as paper.
In their eyes, Su Xia was simply a devil who would hack people if they disagreed with him.
Snap!
The third sword fell and directly cut off the man's two legs.
“Ahhh—”
He let out a howl like a pig being slaughtered, and rolled and twisted in a pool of blood like a worm. His whole body was covered in blood, and his eyes were blurred with blood.
This scene was like a replay of some horror movie. The people around stepped back one after another, with fear on their faces.
The person on the other end of the communicator didn't look very happy either.
He didn't expect that Su Xia would disregard the treaty of the alliance of the seven major settlements and directly kill the members of another large settlement.
Hearing the painful wails and screams, he knew that the man was no longer alive.
"My friend from Longcheng, are you going too far?"
He spoke again, this time with a hint of threat in his voice.
"According to the Seven Gathering Areas Convention, after our people give up resistance , you should give them enough respect and wait for our negotiation instead of torturing or insulting them..."
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
Su Xia spoke lightly, interrupting the liaison officer on the other side.
"Don't worry, I know where you are and I'll come find you soon."
