#449 - Chapter 449 Strange Man
United American States, New Mexico, near Moriarty, Sector 21.
August 12, 2056.
9:10 AM.
The rooftop of a building.
A strange man stood there, motionless.
He had a crew cut, yellow skin, and a resolute face.
He wore strange clothes that looked somewhat like a Hua country Daoist robe, but the patterns on it did not match the Hua country style.
In his right hand, he held a wooden staff that was not very straight, taller than a person. At the top of the staff was embedded a fist-sized gem that glowed with a blue light.
This was most likely a magic staff.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, and the Daoist robe on his body fluttered in the wind.
After a while, another person appeared on the rooftop of another building far away, with an extremely similar attire to this person.
Soon, a second, a third…
Within half an hour, a total of six such people appeared, distributed in different locations within Sector 21.
They seemed to be waiting for each other's appearance.
Subsequently, one of them slowly raised his staff and pointed it towards the sky.
A beam of blue light shot out from the gem on the staff, flying towards an unknown destination.
Immediately afterward, the second person also raised his staff and pointed it at the sky.
Another beam of blue light shot out, intersecting with the first beam of blue light.
Then the third person, the fourth person…
The six beams of blue light seemed to attract each other, eventually converging into a single point.
The light at that point became stronger and stronger, and the point of light gradually grew larger, turning into a ball of light.
The survivors in Sector 21 had already noticed the intense light in the sky, and they squinted their eyes to look up at the sky.
The light was too strong, and they couldn't see clearly at all.
The ball of light became larger and larger, brighter and brighter.
The ground was completely covered by this light, and even the sunlight seemed dim in comparison.
At this time, the staff of the FBS Sector 21 branch had already realized the problem.
They immediately dispatched a helicopter to take off, wanting to investigate what this ball of light was.
But the helicopter crashed directly after taking off for a short time.
“Ah~”
“Ah~”
The crash of the helicopter became the fuse, and the people were completely panicked.
Everyone screamed and fled in all directions.
The base was plunged into chaos.
“Hello! Hello!” The director of the Sector 21 branch found that the phone was also unreachable.
“Someone! Go and notify Colonel Felix immediately, and ask him to send someone to maintain order immediately.” The director shouted.
“Yes, sir!” A staff member ran out in a panic.
“Bang~”
A bolt of lightning flew out from the ball of light and shot towards the ground.
“Ah~”
A fleeing man was instantly struck and fell directly to the ground.
“Bang~”
“Bang~”
Two more bolts of lightning shot out.
“Ah~”
Two people were hit at the same time and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
“Bang bang bang bang~”
The lightning became more and more dense, constantly attacking the people on the ground.
“Quick, hide in the houses!” Someone shouted.
The people near the houses were okay and ran in after pushing the doors open.
But the people on the square were in an awkward situation. They didn't have enough time to escape, so they were hit one after another and then fell to the ground.
“Sir, look there!” A subordinate rushed directly into the director's office and shouted, pointing to a distant rooftop.
The director strode to the window and looked in the direction pointed.
It was too far, and the light was too strong to see clearly.
He picked up the telescope from the desk and watched again.
It turned out to be a person!
“So someone is playing tricks.” The director understood.
Knowing what happened made it easier.
“Immediately send someone over and take him down!”
“Yes, sir!”
Soon, a team of six people, fully armed, ran out of the office building.
They avoided the open space and slowly approached from behind the building.
When they had to cross the road, they also aimed at the gap and rushed over quickly.
In 20 minutes, they finally arrived downstairs.
The director saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they entered the building, they would be halfway to success.
Soon, several people reached the rooftop.
“Don't move! Put your hands on your head and squat down immediately!”
Well, I have to say that these people are also geniuses. What time is it, and they still want to say this.
Isn't it more successful to shoot directly?
“Bang~”
A bolt of lightning flew over, and the speaker was directly knocked down.
“Bang bang bang~”
The other five people panicked and shot directly.
“Buzz~”
A circular energy shield suddenly appeared in front of the Daoist robe man, and the bullets were blocked.
“Bang bang bang~”
Several more bolts of lightning shot over, and the remaining people fell directly to the ground.
“FUCK!” The director was furious and directly threw the things on the desk.
“Someone! Go and tell Colonel Felix to launch the tanks and blow up that building for me!” The director shouted.
“Yes, sir!”
20 minutes later.
“Report sir, Colonel Felix said that the tanks have malfunctioned and cannot be started.”
“What?” The director was shocked.
This is over.
People will be electrocuted if they go over.
The plane can't fly over, and the tank can't get over.
What to do?
I have an idea!
“Come on, send a dozen more people over with explosives. Blow up that building for me!”
If the tank can't get over, he will use people to blow it up.
“Yes, sir!”
