Chapter 517: Danger
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Wan Lan had utterly annoyed Jiang Liushi. She was like a tyrant that had just come in power and made a fuss about it.
Before doomsday, Jiang Liushi had met another woman like her – a civil servant. She had just been promoted, giving her more responsibilities and power, and had a bad attitude. She had been mistreating others and ordering her subordinates around, doing menial tasks.
From Jiang Liushi's point of view, Wan Lan was such a person. As he hadn't satisfied her arrogance, Wan Lan was creating obstacles for him. Jiang Liushi didn't know where her confidence stemmed from, but he had been lenient in treating her.
Wanq Shiqi was about to speak and try to persuade him, but after looking at Jiang Liushi's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she daren't utter a word. However, this department still belonged to the Safety Zone. If anyone dared to make trouble, the military would send its forces to subdue the troublemaker. It was not worth it to get in trouble because of a person like Wan Lan.
Wang Shiqi was uneasy and worried about Jiang Liushi and his team. She stretched her hand, grabbing Jiang Liushi's sleeve, and looked at him with a pleading expression. "Please, let me find another way. I will definitely help you get those materials. Is it okay? Jiang Liushi?"
Before Jiang Liushi could answer, the Safety Zone's siren sounded. In the next moment, anguished screams came from outside the gate.
"What's wrong?" Wang Shiqi was shocked by the sudden screams.
'Warning! Detected mutant energy is detected.' Jiang Liushi received Starseed's notification.
He grabbed Wang Shiqi's shoulder and said, "You'd better just wait here. I will go out to see." After saying that, Jiang Liushi turned and ran to the gate.
"Jiang Liushi!" Wang Shiqi anxiously shouted.
As Jiang Liushi quickly disappeared from Wang Shiqi's line of sight, she hesitated for a moment. But she decided to stay where she was.
'Yesterday, we discovered the mysterious shadow…has it already reached the Safety Zone?' thought Wang Shiqi worriedly.
Jiang Liushi shared the same worry, as he initially thought that it was impossible for it to move that fast. Although they had spotted the mysterious shadow, it was still far away from the Safety Zone. Before its arrival, they had a period of time to prepare and act. But if the Black Hole had arrived much earlier than expected, then everyone would be in grave danger!
Jiang Liushi was worried as he hadn't upgraded the minibus. Could the current minibus stand a chance the Black Hole?
As Jiang Liushi rushed out of the building, he saw many people from outside screaming in horror while rushing toward the Logistics Department's building. Earlier, those people had been unloading goods at the outside square, and now, they were all trying to escape.
Jiang Liushi looked around, and suddenly heard a sharp cry above his head. When the ordinary people that were running for their lives heard that sound, they immediately screamed in pain and held their heads. Jiang Liushi was also affected by the strange sound, but not like the ordinary people. They were weaker than paranormals, so the cry's effect was more severe. Thus, they collapsed on the ground, unable to think, only holding their heads and rolling on the ground.
At that moment, several huge black shadows covered the sky above the square and directly rushed down.
"Ah! Help!" The people who could run away suddenly fluttered and ran faster, while the people on the ground struggled to get up, one by one, desperately asking for help.
Those black shadows were huge mutant birds. Once caught, the unlucky fellows would immediately be smashed into pieces in the air and then devoured by the birds.
"They are the birds that attacked us near the helicopters!" exclaimed Jiang Liushi. It seemed that those birds were probably under the Black Hole's command.
Every time the mutant birds dove down, they produced sharp sounds. They were so fast that not even the paranormals' eyes could not keep up with them; not to mention ordinary people. Everyone under the mutant birds was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest chance to resist.
Suddenly, from the doorway of the crowded building, a gunshot sounded. At the same time, a mutant bird, which had just dove to catch two ordinary people, lost its balance and slammed on the ground; its blood splashed everywhere!
The two men were utterly shocked, as they had just survived from certain death. They stared at the monster with wide-opened eyes and saw a big bloody hole on one of the monster's wings. The flying monster's size was similar to a small truck.
Although everyone was panicked, they were also amazed. They could not help but wonder who had shot amidst the chaos.
"Run!" Jiang Liushi shouted.
When the survivors heard and saw Jiang Liushim, they instantly knew that he was the one, who had saved them,
Jiang Liushi had already activated his brain domain. He was staring at the sky intently without a shred of fear. In his eyes, the mutant birds were infinitely slow. As long as he had enough energy to supply his brain, he could continue watching them. In his eyes, their terrible speed was nothing special.
He shot once again, and another mutant bird crashed on the ground! This time, the crowd reacted swiftly, and they stoop up from the ground, dashing to the building desperately. They no longer cared about the flying monsters' hovering above their heads.
From Jiang Liushi's minibus, which was parked in the square, a black barrel was extended. Then, it also started to shoot at the mutant birds diving to catch their prey. Although the air cannon needed time to be recharged back to its full power, it could still be used to make the mutant birds deviate from their initial trajectory, leading them to hit the ground as they were unable to maneuver.
As Jiang Liushi continued shooting, he was almost shocked to death because he could see countless black spots hovering above the entire Safety Zone. From time to time, a few black shadows would fly down from different directions.
Gunshots and screams could be heard all over the Safety Zone. The Logistics Department was just one of the sites they had attacked.
After Jiang Liushi killed three more mutant birds, they seemed to have comprehended that they should change their tactics. Instead of attacking the survivors, they targeted the Logistics Department's building and started dashing toward the windows violently.
A window was directly crushed by those monsters, and a large number of glass fragments flew in every direction. Some of the survivors that had just rushed to the front of the building were hit by debris and got injures. They screamed in pain as blood was flowing from their wounds like a river.
"Go and drag them inside!" howled Jiang Liushi at the people around him.
There were only six soldiers there, and they had been shooting alongside Jiang Liushi all this time. After receiving Jiang Liushi's order, they immediately rushed to carry the injured inside. As all the injured were moved to the building, the minibus rushed to the door of the building. Then, its body blocked the door. Above the minibus was a big and sturdy roof, which provided shelter for it. As a result, the mutant birds could no longer attack the survivors.
The mutant birds flew in the air angrily, creating sharp noises. The survivors could clearly hear the intimidating sounds which instilled a deep sense of fear in their hearts.
"Alive…"
"I am still alive."
Most of the gathered people couldn't believe they were still alive.
"This brother, thanks to you! Thank you!" A soldier came over and saluted Jiang Liushi.
Those monsters' appearance was too sudden. Except for Jiang Liushi, all of them were shocked. Moreover, it was obvious that Jiang Liushi's sharpshooting skills were exceptional. It was Jiang Liushi who saved all of them. The soldier was the leader of a team, which was responsible for guarding this area. All his members had gone to fight and check the situation.
The mutant birds had attacked the floors upstairs, so lots of people were screaming and rushing down, overcrowding the hall downstairs. Almost everyone was looking at Jiang Liushi with reverence. As Jiang Liushi was talking with the team captain, nobody dared to bother him.
Wang Shiqi was also there. Although she had waited where she was, she had still witnessed the mutant birds' fierce attacks. Fortunately, Jiang Liushi was there and had shot some of them down. She may have been standing far from the 'battlefield', but she could still feel her accelerated heartbeat. She was so nervous that she had yet to feel relieved. Every time she saw a dashing black shadow, she felt she couldn't see it clearly. Yet, Jiang Liushi not only could see them but also shoot them down. She was truly amazed!
"You don't need to thank me. We are still surrounded by those monsters. When do you think your rescue team will arrive?" Jiang Liushi waved his hands and asked.
