Chapter XXXVII
Wow...... Just laughed out loud?
Even if Kana Kimishima was panicked and at a loss at the moment, she really didn't understand what was going on with this person.
It's just that at this time, Xia Ran didn't care about her reaction, he just frowned and turned around, looking in the direction of the other side of the street, which was the direction in which the other parasitic beast had fled, seeming to ...... Something unexpected over there right now?
Bang!
Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a faint and faint sound of gunfire from a distance, and the frequency seemed to be relatively dense. Xia Ran blinked, and his first reaction was that the official forces had intervened...... If that's the case, it seems to be much earlier than the original plot line?
Is it because of my own little butterfly that has entered the chaos that has finally diverged some inexplicable influence? He thought subconsciously.
However, the gunfire did not last long before it quickly thinned out and seemed to be distancing, becoming more faint and almost inaudible.
This trend of change made Xia Ran inexplicably have a bad premonition, this doesn't seem to be the strength that the official force should show! What can this little firepower do to destroy the parasitic beasts?
It's better to say that this bit of firepower is only more stable if you kill the two humans, Izumi Shinichi and Mamoru Uda.
It's just that soon, the figures of the two appeared in his field of vision, and it seemed that they had not been shot, which was a bit regrettable...... Oh no, it's a relief.
"We didn't kill that parasitic beast...... "After Izumi Shinichi came back, he first said this with a somewhat unsightly face, he probably blamed himself a little, and he also seemed to be a little afraid.
"Did something happen?"
Xia Ran didn't choose to question why the two of them couldn't stop a parasitic beast, because the most important thing to do after things messed up was definitely not to divide the responsibility.
Blaming is the least pointless thing to do, except to create a rift between teams.
"Because we didn't catch up with it in the first place, it ran a long way, but I didn't expect it to be ...... Looks like there's two groups of people trading or something,"
Mamoru Uda spoke at this time, and he scratched the back of his head, as if he didn't know how to explain this god unfolding.
"Maybe it was because it rushed out directly, and the people on both sides seemed to be very vigilant at the time, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong, and they were so frightened that both groups of people directly shot and fought......"
So lucky?
Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "So, has that parasitic beast been killed?" This is what he is most concerned about, and he doesn't care about the fact that the two gangs of underworld forces are inexplicably fighting each other.
Anyway, if you're dead, you're dead, just like the bad gangster behind him who was knocked unconscious by him, Xia Ran didn't pay too much attention to their life and death.
"Not sure, it's too chaotic......"
Izumi Shinichi withdrew his gaze from behind Xia Ran, then shook his head, and said with some embarrassment.
"We didn't dare rush out, and the group was just crazy and shooting...... But the parasitic must have been shot, too. β
After all, they are still ordinary people after all, and they subconsciously don't want to face bullets, after all, this is a completely different behavior than mustering the courage to fight the parasitic beast.
"How many people are there?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to see it clearly, there should be dozens......" Izumi Shinichi was not too sure, and after thinking for a while, he gave such an answer in a very uncertain tone.
"And what kind of weapon are they using? Pistols? β
"Well, there's only a pistol...... There's no way they're going to trade with tanks and machine guns. Mamoru Uda interjected.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Ran suddenly raised his fist and knocked his forehead with some annoyance, groaning, he suddenly felt that this time there was a bit of suspense, or it should be said that the parasitic beast was very likely to really escape.
To put it more bluntly, he suspected that the parasitic beast might only be seriously injured, but it was very likely that it would not die on the spot, and with its powerful physical manipulation ability, it still had a chance to escape back.
Unless those guys are sharpshooters and make sure that every bullet hits the target, the concentrated firepower will completely shred the parasitic beast and prevent any accidents......
But it is clear that this is not possible.
Sure enough, this world lacks everything, but there is no shortage of accidents.
"Forget it, let's get out of here...... By the way, take the two people behind you with you, and don't let them stay and talk nonsense for a while. β
Xia Ran sighed, then turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, it is impossible to catch up with them, so they can only leave this area for the time being, so as not to wait for the official violent organs to sweep over and surprise them together.
And Xia Ran also doesn't think that he is currently capable of fighting against the mainstream weapons of modernization, if the other side really comes over, then the result will definitely be no objection, he will die on the spot.
Mitsuo is still very happy unconscious, so naturally he will not resist, although Kana Kimishima is too scared, and even his trust in Izumi Shinichi has fallen below the trough, suspecting that the other party is also one of the "monsters".
But it's obvious that as a girl, it's really impossible for her to fight against men in terms of strength.
So he was also unable to break free, so he was forcibly taken away together......
At this time, even Izumi Shinichi didn't choose to reason with her at length, and it was the right choice to evacuate the scene as soon as possible.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The group left the scene of the crime without danger.
Although it is indeed strange to have an unconscious thug and a girl who is constantly struggling to escape.
However, there was little attention along the way, because many of the roads were deserted.
This is how the city has become, since a few months ago, when murders and mutilations of corpses of all kinds appeared, and the number of cases increased, and the situation intensified.
Not only in Japan, but also in most countries around the world, there is a tendency for many people to become reluctant to go out, and even when they do, they will avoid going to places with fewer people, for fear of becoming the next victim.
As a result, the population distribution of the city suddenly became very uneven, with some areas bustling with people and others where not even a dog could be seen......
Therefore, naturally some areas and roads are not only suitable for parasitic beasts to hunt and eat, but also suitable for Xia Ran and others to use for rapid retreat, so there is no need to worry about any accidents that will be encountered in this blatant act of kidnapping.
As long as it's not so stupid that it's hopeless, go specifically to the monitored route...... Then it's perfectly fine.
But along the way, they happened to run into another thing-
First, he heard the gunshots from a distance, and Xia Ran thought that he and the others were so unlucky, and they encountered the evil forces fighting again...... Speaking of the ravages of parasitic beasts, it has really led to social unrest and an overall decline in law and order.
It's not just the parasites that are eating and killing, there are also many criminals who take advantage of the chaos to make things around, and they see this chaos as their chance, and they see their ambitions and self-interests in it.
In order to act safely, Xia Ran asked everyone to stop, and he touched it himself to see the situation.
It turned out that the government building was surrounded a few blocks away, and the buildings were blocked by large trucks, and a large number of well-trained elite soldiers, armed and holding blast shields, blocked all exits as if facing a great enemy.
"Attention! Note! β
"Attention all the people in the government building, important information will be released from now on, please listen clearly......"
"I'm Mizushima of the Criminal Division of the Higashi-Fukuyama Police Station, just now, a man armed with a shotgun broke into the government building, and is currently lurking near the roof of the building, please gather all the personnel in the building immediately in the lobby on the first floor of the main building......"
The radio is constantly ringing, and the statements are repeated over and over again, calming people's emotions.
Traffic in the surrounding area is clearly blocked, and there are no other pedestrian vehicles. Heavily armed soldiers in black uniforms escort people evacuated from government buildings and take them to vehicles that have been prepared for a long time.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't get too close, but chose to watch from a distance.
After all, no matter how you look at this scene, he doesn't believe any claims that illegal people have broken into government buildings with guns...... And the most important thing is that the scene of this scene vaguely gave him a certain sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Until the gunshots rang out againβ
Bang!
Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
He saw a small group of soldiers who seemed to have discovered something, quickly isolated a woman, and shot directly after everyone else was escorted into the car!
The woman didn't seem to be able to react to what was going on, her heart was pierced, she staggered back, her face showed an incredible look, her mouth opened, but before she could say anything, she was shot several times.
Blood burst out, quickly staining the clothes she was wearing, as well as the ground around her.
Her expression quickly distorted, and she let out a non-human roar, and a beautiful face instantly cracked open, turning into two hideous, terrifying tentacles with huge eyes and mouthparts full of sharp teeth.
She became it.
But it can't do anything more, the parasitic beast must also rely on the organs of the parasitic body to survive, and the most important heart is accurately penetrated in the first place, which is already an irreparable fatal injury.
The bullets that followed were even worse, quickly depriving it of all its vitality, so that it could not even fight back to death.
The roaring parasite spilled blood from its mouthparts and fell to the ground...... The gunshots also attracted the attention of others, and some people who had just gotten into the car were startled and subconsciously wanted to go back and see what was going on.
However, he was resolutely pushed into the car by the soldiers behind him, and the door was quickly closed.
Xia Ran, who was watching this scene from afar, couldn't help but exhale softly, is this the official finally launched a sweeping operation? And the first step is to do something about the government building, which means that they perceive the most fatal problem?
And...... Is it because they can tell the difference between parasitic beasts and humans so quickly because they have developed relevant technologies in advance?
