Chapter 7 Screams in the Darkness
The bargaining ended with one step back. Su Chen's protection period is still three days, but if Su Chen still does not plan to leave here three days later, they still need to provide help and protection.
Su Chen also showed his strength of "he has the ability to protect the other party" - he demonstrated the power of the gravity air hammer. Xia Ming was quite surprised, and then he really decided to "hire" Su Chen and exchange a gun and some bullets for the protection of Su Chen, a person who had killed the monster.
Su Chen could see that Xia Ming had considerable trust in the military and the federal government, and the trust of people at his level in the government and the military and the people were based on another level.
But Su Chen was not interested in this, only interested in Xia Ming's pistol.
It was a standard pistol from the federal era, with nine millimeter bullets and a capacity of 15 rounds. Xia Ming gave Su Chen two magazines, a total of thirty bullets, weighing about one pound.
In contrast, Xia Ming and his group moved into Su Chen's presidential suite. Su Chen defined an area for them. Except for his own room, he could move around at will.
There were not many people on Xia Ming's side. Two security guards and one female secretary were the woman who sat next to him during the auction. There was a faint intimacy between the two of them.
Su Chen's little citizen-like thinking: These two people probably have the kind of relationship where the secretary has something to do, but the secretary has nothing to do...
But Su Chen is still very contractual. Although he doesn't like Xia Ming very much, the other party sent a gun in a timely manner. He still wants to protect these people, at least fulfill his promises as much as possible. Whether it is the end of the world or the order of society, the world has changed, and people should indeed change, but some things, what should be done, and what should be done, you should never do anything. It should have a scale in your heart. No matter what era should not change, it is the principle and bottom line of being a human being, and it has nothing to do with society and morality, but only related to what kind of person you are.
Of course, if a group of thin ghosts really came up, Su Chen would turn around without hesitation. His relationship with Xia Ming was not as good as protecting him, and protection was limited to his own ability. The only thing he had to thank was the time traveler who was sitting dead by himself. He chose such a "good neighbor" and gave him golden fingers and equipment.
Xia Ming came over to talk to Su Chen, but after Su Chen reported to be famous, he showed no interest. After getting the pistol and bullets, he plunged into his room, locked the door, and began to practice.
The high-imitation Thunder God hammer needs two full energy units to be transformed. Although this mechanical pistol is not as heavy as the Thunder God hammer, its structure is more sophisticated and may require more energy to be transformed. In order to avoid the loss of precious energy units for vain, Su Chen plans to accumulate more energy units this time before making magic modifications.
However, when Su Chen returned to the room, he heard a loud hissing sound almost close to him!
Su Chen suddenly raised his head and saw a huge shadow suddenly passing by just outside his twenty-third floor-to-ceiling window.
The huge dark body, the huge bat wings spreading horizontally, and the blood-red eyes seemed to be culling in at any time!
Su Chen instinctively held his breath.
Fortunately, it seemed that it did not notice the human beings in the dark presidential suite, like a flash of lightning, passing by the window, and disappearing into the higher sky in a blink of an eye.
When it completely disappeared, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back was already wet.
It was a huge black bird. Nearby, Su Chen realized that it was even larger than he had estimated before, with a wingspan of at least thirteen meters and a body length of about seven meters.
If this thing breaks the floor-to-ceiling glass and kills in, he will definitely die just now!
A mere floor-to-ceiling window is almost no different from being unprepared.
The living room of the president's set was also silent, and it seemed that he was frightened.
Where did these monsters come from?!
Su Chen took two deep breaths to calm down his mind, and immediately began to practice, absorbing the energy in the free space, transformed through the Anoval ring, and input his body. Except for eating two packs of biscuits in the middle, he kept not stopping.
During this process, he lay down by the window every half an hour to see it down to determine whether his environment is safe.
Time passes by little by little.
Almost all the neighborhoods near Tianjing Hotel are empty. Looking down from the high-rise, with some vehicles and the burning fires of the shops on the ground, you can see the surrounding neighborhoods full of messes, and some dark shadows wandering aimlessly like ghosts on the streets.
This city seemed to have become the legendary city of hell, and living people have disappeared, only ghosts wandered all day long.
People seemed to have already hidden themselves, relying on some of the existing food and supplies in their hands to avoid monsters, waiting for the situation to change, and no one dared to go out again before the existing supplies were exhausted. I wonder if it was an illusion, but every time Su Chen observed, he felt that there would be more monster shadows on the streets far and near.
Their number seems to be increasing. But the distance is too far for Su Chen to confirm.
And further afield, gunfire never stopped. But near Tianjing Hotel, there was no sign of an army, only a broken police car was lying on the side of the road.
May 7th. 16:17.
Su Chen put down his achesy arm.
Only the hand wearing the Anoval Ring can absorb energy, while Su Chen personally tested that actively swinging his arms to attract energy in the space can increase the absorption efficiency by about fifteen percent. Therefore, he kept shaking his hands in his room.
If Xia Ming outside saw this scene, he would probably be scared to death and felt that Su Chen was also a crazy monster.
In fact, Xia Ming now thinks that Su Chen is a weird person.
Because he had to notice that the sofa, chair and coffee table in the presidential suit were all in a shattered state... and this seemed to be caused by Su Chen's strange weapon. Moreover, there were a lot of cans, compressed biscuits and drinking water in the corner of the room, which seemed to be preparing something.
Could it be...Su Chen knew in advance that the disaster would come?
What Xia Ming was even more curious about was the weapon in Su Chen's hand. He thought it was some kind of uncirculated high-tech equipment. He was very curious, but Su Chen didn't show it to him. Of course, Xia Ming had no bad intentions. This man was a profiteer, but he was not bad. He had no idea of killing Su Chen to seize his things. He just felt more and more that this person who seemed ordinary everywhere was actually extremely mysterious and was definitely not an ordinary person.
He even felt that this person, perhaps a member of a secret special force of the Federation, was unknown...
Xia Ming knew that the Federation had some special troops, equipped with next-generation weapons, specializing in performing some special tasks, but usually only pretended to be ordinary people...
But why did a person from a special force not even have a gun?
The more he thought about it, the more he was confused about the monk. How could he know that Su Chen's equipment was almost all "free" from him for no reason.
The Internet, water and electricity have been completely interrupted and there is nothing to do. Xia Ming had to think about it. While expecting the army to arrive quickly, he randomly guessed Su Chen's true identity who had been hiding in the room except to go to the toilet. He couldn't figure it out, so he had to repeatedly remind people around him to get along with Mr. Su Chen, and Xia Ming gave Su Chen a gun, but in fact he still wanted a gun in his hand!
Su Chen didn't have time to think so much. After the black giant bird passed by, he was so panicked that he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He stepped up his time to accumulate energy points. He didn't sleep for long. Finally, he accumulated seven units of mysterious energy and began to transform the pistol in his hand.
It took nearly twenty minutes to transform the pistol, and six energy units were consumed. The magic modification was completed, and the gun looked almost unchanged from before, but it was held in the hand, and it had a living texture.
However, such transformation is still too slow. It takes a few hours to "cultivate" such an energy unit...
However, at this moment, Su Chen heard a scream suddenly coming from outside!
The voice is not inside the presidential suit, but from a more outward position.
First, screaming, then screaming in great horror... spreading and echoing in the darkness.
In addition, there are also the chaotic footsteps that are rapidly approaching on the 23rd floor, which is as quiet as death.
There is also a faint, some kind of shrill, inhuman hurricane.
It was a group of people escaping from the floor below!
The group of people were chased by monsters and were panicked and could only run all the way up.
Those sounds are getting closer to the twenty-third floor!
