Chapter 173
The sound of sirens and ambulance emergency horns constantly hit the eardrums.
Chen Feng sat in the middle of the ruins and chose a flat stone to sit on.
Amid the noisy sounds, painful groans, anxious shouts, and sorrowful cries, all kinds of sounds drowned him from all directions, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
The smell of gunpowder in the air gradually faded away under the breeze at night, but tonight was destined not to be a peaceful night.
A flyer floated to Chen Feng's feet with the wind, with an exaggerated slogan on it. It was an advertisement for selling artificial awakening catalysts.
The price was very cheap, one thousand yuan per injection.
It was said that ten injections would awaken.
However, Chen Feng knew that artificial awakening had never been induced by injection.
There has never been any so-called catalyst.
This kind of illegal item advertisement is also common in abandoned blocks outside the sixth ring road of Shangjing City.
"Boy, is everything okay?"
A powerful voice came from the right rear, Gu Xingtian came to sit next to Chen Feng, and handed him a cup of hot coffee.
Chen Feng took a sip of the coffee, exhaled a breath of hot air and said:"Uncle Gu, Brother Bai......It's amazing."
Gu Xingtian didn't seem to expect Chen Feng to say that, and there was a little surprise in his expression.
Then he smiled and put his hand, which was bigger than the average person's head, on Chen Feng's shoulder.
"I see"
"I know Hongwen's strength better than anyone else."
Gu Xingtian's face showed a trace of sadness and anger.
"He is already very powerful to have fought against an Atomic Awakener at this stage with a Stealth-level body."
"Atoms, secret?"
"That is the official book I compiled when I was free. I call the level above LV50"secret", which means that the awakened people of this level usually hide in the city, but stand up in times of crisis."
"As for the atomic level, just think of it as an atomic bomb."
Chen Feng always felt a little familiar with his explanation.
Gu Xingtian crushed the empty coffee cup into powder, stood up and looked at the busy rescue team in the distance. Watching the shrouds being pulled out one by one, he sighed and said,"In fact, Bai Hongwen can be even stronger."
"If he wanted, he could even explode with atomic-level lethality in a short period of time."
"I used to like to call him the human-shaped atomic bomb. You know the atomic bomb, right?"
Chen Feng nodded.
Gu Xingtian:"Hongwen should have realized that he was no match for the opponent anyway, so he simply did not further expand the damage."
"Otherwise," Gu Xingtian turned around and said seriously,"What you see now is not just seven or eight blocks being razed to the ground."
After that, he turned and left.
"Uncle Gu," Chen Feng raised his head and said,"You know about the Black Wing Organization, right?"
Gu Xingtian stopped and did not look back.
After a long silence, he did not answer Chen Feng's question.
The cold wind at night blew across Chen Feng's cheek. He seemed to understand something and smiled helplessly.
Then he changed the subject and said,"President, I have captured a Black Wing Organization official called the Gatekeeper."
"We should be able to get some useful information from him."
"besides......"
"Anything else?"
Gu Xingtian turned his head, but it was too dark to see his face.
Chen Feng ended the topic with a smile on his face,"That's all, President."
"But my mission this time cannot be considered a failure."
Gu Xingtian nodded and said coldly:"Don't worry, you did a good job in this internship. Remember to finish the report when you go back."
"Also, I won't tell Sisi about you, so she won't worry."
""Huh? ? ?"
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask more questions, but he saw that Gu Xingtian had disappeared, so he could only give up.
After Gu Xingtian left, Chen Feng continued to walk towards the depths of the ruins.
After such a large-scale and comprehensive destruction, the old streets had already changed beyond recognition.
Especially in the few blocks closest to the explosion, not even a brick or tile was left, only countless dust.
Chen Feng came to the entrance of a block under the moonlight.
It is a certain distance from the core area of the explosion, but the aftermath of the impact still shattered the glass of every building here.
Some buildings with poor quality collapsed into ruins.
The rescue team that came from the Sixth Ring Road of Shangjing City is still doing its best to rescue. From time to time, they can be seen rescuing injured and unconscious children from the ruins.
Unfortunately, those affected It was a kindergarten, and classes were in progress when the explosion occurred.
The children and teachers were buried under the rubble.
But fortunately, the current rescue team is basically composed of awakened people, and with the cooperation of various professional characteristics, the rescue work went smoothly.
Some children with minor injuries were quickly treated, and apart from being a little frightened, they were still full of energy.
But under the neon lights of rescue lights and emergency lighting, Chen Feng saw a familiar figure.
It was a child, he stood at the entrance of the street, and under his feet was the dividing line between the affected area and the safe area.
On one side was the cracked concrete pavement and broken bricks and tiles, and on the other side was just a loss of power supply.
He just stood there, staring blankly at something.
Chen Feng slowly came to his side
""Where's your mother?" he asked.
The child turned his head to look at Chen Feng and recognized his identity.
His eyes were dry, but his face was full of tears.
He said in a hoarse voice:"My mother, she is dead."
This child was the son of the aunt in the convenience store that Chen Feng and Bai Hongwen met at the entrance of the block.
I didn't expect him to appear here.
But......
Chen Feng didn't know how to comfort him.
What's the point of preaching to a young child with unrealistic words?
Let time give the answer and slowly cover the wound.
""Big brother, are you also an awakener?" the child suddenly asked.
Although Chen Feng was puzzled, he nodded in affirmation. But the next moment, the child blurted out,"The book says that the awakeners are here to protect us."
"But why did you kill my mother?"
"What did my mother do wrong again?"
The child's eyes flickered, and he stretched his head towards Chen Feng and asked.
Although his voice was already hoarse at this time, his eyes were so powerful.
Chen Feng frowned slightly, he didn't know how to explain.
But in fact, the reason why the child's mother died was because she entered the battle range of Bai Hongwen and Gong Yang, two powerful awakeners.
However, for ordinary people, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters away
, and across towering buildings, chatting and walking among neighbors, how could they know that a life-and-death duel was taking place in the distance.
Bai Hongwen's skill mechanism also determined that when the explosion occurred Every ordinary person within the range can only pray that they can survive.
Was Bai Hongwen wrong?
He was not wrong.
In fact, after realizing that he was no match for Gong Yang, he chose to suppress his own strength and did not release the maximum explosive performance.
Was the child wrong?
Was his mother wrong?
No.
This is their home. If they don't stay here, where else should they go?
Chen Feng thought for a long time and did not answer the child's question.
Until he was tired and retracted his eyes full of hatred.
Until then, Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, not knowing whether he was talking to him or talking to himself.
"Try to become stronger"
"Only in this way can we escape the fate of being at the mercy of others."
