Dawn of a New Era Chapter 18: : The impermanence of life and death
A pedestrian in the way was thrown away by his hand, and his body flew six or seven meters away before he fell heavily.
Fortunately, when the car on the street saw something wrong, it immediately stepped on the brakes, and it did not cause a tragedy.
"He is a barbarian, kill him, don't let him run." A middle-aged man who also escaped from the bookstore shouted, picked up a broom from the roadside shop, turned it around, and confronted him as a sword. .
Looking at his posture, it is obvious that he has learned swordsmanship, and may even be an apprentice martial artist. Otherwise, at this time, no one has the courage to provoke a barbarian.
Chen Shouyi, who was about to escape, couldn't help slowing down.
As a young man, his heart is not yet cold, and his blood is still hot. He looks from left to right and tries to find a weapon in his hand.
Before he could find the weapon, the barbarian rushed towards the middle-aged man instantly. Chen Shouyi couldn't describe his speed, even his naked eyes could hardly catch it. The distance of more than ten meters would be there in no time.
Before the middle-aged man's sword was pierced, a fist hit him hard in the head.
He soared into the air, and soon fell to the ground like a rag bag.
The skull was shattered like a smashed watermelon.
The most terrifying thing is that from the beginning to the end, the barbarian carried a large cloth bag wrapped in sheets, which was filled with books, weighing at least hundreds of catties.
Chen Shouyi just glanced at the miserable corpse, the blood in his heart quickly faded, a chill spread throughout his body, the original eagerness to try, the smoke disappeared, only the fear in his heart was left.
Fortunately, this barbarian never carried out unnecessary killings. After the deterrence, he glanced vigilantly at the left and right, and quickly fled forward. His steps were heavy and huge, and each step could span five or six meters.
Only a few seconds later, the barbarian disappeared in the street.
Things happened too quickly, and it was already three minutes after the heavily armed special police arrived.
Only at this time, Chen Shouyi had already left the scene.
Both were pushing bicycles, and the pedestrians along the way, when they saw the blood on their bodies, they avoided one after another, their expressions panicked.
It's just that the two of them are unconscious.
Zhang Xiaoyue is quite quiet, her body trembling slightly.
Chen Shouyi can feel the fear in her heart, but it is not only her, but also he.
People who live in peace can never imagine the cruelty of death. Even if the news is broadcasted in the news, it is too far away and does not have personal experience, and it seems unreal.
Dongning has always been a quiet and peaceful town. Even the war of alien invasion more than ten or twenty years ago was only a small-scale, high-intensity war that took place in a remote border area.
In terms of scale, it is still inferior to the two world wars, and it hasn't even affected life.
Perhaps Chen Shouyi would have read about how much advanced equipment was used in the war at that time on the Internet, and watched with gusto, but did not feel the cruelty of the war at all.
In this small city, the only incident that can be called an invasion of another world was two years ago.
Two savages were killed on the outskirts of Dongning.
Soon after, this hidden wormhole near Dongning City was discovered, and the army was stationed.
The police are very efficient. Walking on the road, the barbarian’s wanted order was being broadcast on the advertising screen in the square, which attracted many people to stop and watch, with panic on their faces.
Chen Shouyi sent Zhang Xiaoyue all the way to the gate of her house and said: "Squad leader, I'm leaving first."
paused, and he comforted: "The barbarian should not be able to escape. There are cameras everywhere in the street. Maybe the news will be broadcast in the evening."
"Thank you Chen Shouyi, if it weren't for you to drag me, I might..."
"Are you our monitor, how could I leave you alone, don't think too much, I will leave." Chen Shouyi squeezed out a smile and pretended to be relaxed.
said, he rode his bicycle and left quickly.
On the way, he received a call.
"Why are you still outside? Come back!" Mother Chen's anxious voice was on the phone.
"Mom, I'll be back soon." Chen Shouyi didn't ask why.
He hung up the phone and hurried to the house.
The meal point was closed, and the scroll door was half opened. He put the bicycle in the back door, and Chen's mother pulled in, and then quickly locked the scroll door.
"Blessed Bodhisattva, you finally came back. You don't know what happened just now. It's really scary." Mother Chen said nervously.
Suddenly she looked blank, her face turned pale.
"Why do you have blood on your body."
Chen Shouyi touched it, and the blood on it had dried up, leaving only the scraps of blood scabs on the palms, and there might be some minced meat inside. Thinking of these things splashed on the corpse, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that there is no way to hide it, Chen Shouyi can only explain it honestly.
"You... don't go there, you have to go to the bookstore, you really want to be scared to death by you." Chen's mother felt fortunate and fearful, and finally she couldn't help but beat him twice. : "Take off your clothes quickly, and I will burn them later. I will worship the Bodhisattva again and go away from bad luck."
As a person who opens the door to do business, he is often the most superstitious. His family offers Guanyin and God of Wealth all the year round, but neither he nor his sister worships that much.
"Okay mom, by the way, where is Xingyue?" He asked as he took off his jacket.
"She came back a long time ago, watching the news upstairs with your dad."
Under Chen's mother's supervision, Chen Shouyi had worshipped the Bodhisattva and walked upstairs, where he was questioned by Chen Dawei again.
TV was broadcasting the news just now. He saw a mosaic of corpses taken out from the bookstore. Some of the corpses could only be called a pool of rotten meat, and they were put into containment bags.
"So far, the death toll in this attack has reached 135~IndoMTL.com~Another 43 people were seriously injured and are in emergency rescue..."
Chen Shouyi took a look, but didn't watch it again. The scene was more cruel than the news broadcast. He got up and walked to the bathroom, took a shower, and washed all the remaining blood in his body.
In the evening, after the family simply dealt with dinner, they all stood in front of the TV and watched the latest news.
On the street outside, you can hear police cars roaring from time to time. Obviously all police forces have been dispatched.
The atmosphere in the living room is a bit depressing, and no one talks.
such a terrifying terrorist in another world, wandering in the city, no one can eat and sleep as if nothing happened.
It's seven o'clock in the evening.
A piece of news broke in suddenly.
The host looked at the manuscript with a hint of joy on his face, but it was fleeting, and then became solemn: "Now we are broadcasting a news, under the city blockade, at 6:40, Dongning Special Police Several honorary special police officers from the army and the Budo Association finally found a hiding place for the barbarian in Yanghu Park. After fierce fighting, the barbarian was eventually killed.
In this battle, including Zhou Shaofeng, vice president of Dongning City Budo Association, four special policemen died on duty...
Zhou Shaofeng is dead!
Chen Shouyi was stunned. The first time he heard Zhou Shaofeng's name was from the school's martial arts teacher.
Two years ago, the two barbarians on the outskirts of Dongning were killed by him alone, using a superb stabbing sword.
But such a powerful figure, a senior warrior, died unexpectedly, in the battle to encircle and suppress the barbarians.
He felt scared for a while, and a little bit lucky.
If he had a hot mind and rushed forward, maybe...
