The director followed the old man and said, "Old leader, don't stand by the window. It's dangerous."
The old man ignored him and grabbed the windowsill with both hands. His palms were pierced by the sharp broken glass. Blood flowed along the palm lines to his wrists, staining his cuffs red.
"Robbery..."
"It's too late, it's too late!"
“Old leader.” The director held his shoulders and tried to pull him back to the conference table: “It’s okay, the citizens are already evacuating.
Besides, didn’t Immortal Xu say that he would kidnap him and bring him across!”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The old man was furious and turned around to slap him on the head. "The people belong to us. If you don't find a way to solve it yourself, do you expect Xuxianren to solve it?"
"Why should Immortal Xu help you cross the river?"
"Is it because of the death of someone that you blame on Asahi-sennin?!"
"That's not what I meant!"
The director had been beaten by the old man since he was a child. Although he hadn't been slapped by him for many years, he was very skilled in running away at this moment.
Maybe it was because he was old and couldn't help but admit his age, the old man was out of breath after chasing for a few steps, bending over and leaning on his knees to breathe heavily.
This frightened the director, and he hurried back and helped the old man sit down with his secretary: "Don't get excited, old leader, don't get excited."
The "adults" over there are making a fuss.
The three "kids" here couldn't get a word in, so they had to get together on their own.
"Ye Ming, will we be struck to death by lightning?" Zhao Qi looked sad.
"I don't know." Shaking his head, Ye Ming was a little worried. How is Lin Miao now?
His cell phone was confiscated during these seven days, so he had no way of contacting Lin Miao, and he had no idea whether she had left the city safely.
"Yue Ruo." Ye Ming looked worried. "Once we can move freely, can we let Lin Miao join the Bureau of Special Investigation?"
"As long as you pass the interview and retest."
"I say, is this the time to be concerned about this?" Zhao Qi slammed the table, "What if we are struck to death by lightning?"
"Just chill." Yue Ruo retorted.
Zhao Qi grabbed the fabric on his chest, his facial features wrinkled, "I don't want to die here, it's too unclassy."
"At least, at least let me beat up the bastard Taoist priest and the stinky bald donkey who cheated me of my money before I die!"
"boom--"
Another loud thunder interrupted their conversation.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look out the window, and a bolt of lightning connecting heaven and earth, thicker than before, appeared in an instant.
Looking at the black clouds that were still flashing with lightning, a word instinctively emerged in their minds.
The magnificent power of heaven.
As he was looking at it in silence, the cell phone in the secretary's pocket rang.
Press the Connect button on the screen.
It was a call from the head of the military who was evacuating the citizens.
After a quick conversation, the secretary hung up the phone.
"Mr. Sun, it's a call from the military."
"How to say?"
"There was also a lightning strike on the street. Now the entire city of Su is in danger. I hope you will evacuate first. The car has been waiting outside for a long time."
"I won't leave!"
"The little fucking soldier hasn't left yet, so why should I leave first?!"
Old Sun slammed the table and stood up: "I rolled among the dead on the battlefield. Am I afraid of death?!"
"That's different, Mr. Sun." The secretary stamped his feet, "You are useful..."
"What use is there for me?" Old Sun got angry. "I am an old man in my seventies. I can't even lift a gun or move a cannon. In a few years, I won't be able to walk steadily.
What use can I be!"
The secretary was about to persuade him again, but glanced at the director, signaling him to help persuade him.
"Be careful!" Zhao Qi looked out the window and shouted in horror.
"boom--"
Everyone instinctively looked out the window, but they could see nothing but a blinding white blur.
Lightning struck me? Am I going to die?
They unconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes.
However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
They all slowly put their hands down.
Outside the window, the back of Xuxianren with half a bunch of white hair was facing them, as if he was standing on flat ground or floating in the air.
The wind was still howling, but his robe did not move at all.
The handsome Asahi turned around with a smile on his face.
"I haven't seen you for seven days. Are you all right, sir?"
After a moment of silence, Mr. Sun finally realized that he had been rescued.
He first smiled bitterly and replied, "Xu Xianren, what's so good about me looking like this?"
Then he hurriedly asked, "What exactly is this calamity?"
"Man is a calamity, the earth is a calamity, and the sky is also a calamity. Calamity is a disaster."
Compared with the mysterious explanation last time, this time, Mr. Sun and everyone understood it.
No matter whether the disaster is caused by man, earth, or heaven, it is a calamity.
"How to solve it?" Old Sun took a step forward, looking anxious.
Without answering the question, Xu Xianren smiled and asked, "Sir, do you want to see the immortal method again after this day?"
Old Sun was stunned for a few seconds, then he seemed to understand something and shook his head: "I don't want to see you anymore."
"But, Immortal Xu, you haven't told me how to solve this calamity."
"I'll cross."
This was the same as not saying anything. Old Sun did not dare to say this, and asked patiently: "How to cross?"
"When the thunder of heaven wants to destroy life and death." Immortal Xu turned around and faced the rolling black clouds, "Then, destroy it."
Before he finished speaking, his figure soared into the sky.
“Even if dark clouds can block the sun, the haze is only for a moment.”
"People in the world are confused about what it means to be an immortal."
"I am an immortal!"
Throughout the city, there were citizens rushing out of the city in a panic, soldiers directing traffic, and six people in the conference room.
Everyone heard it floating down from the sky, a word, a question, and an answer.
The figure in a white robe gradually shrinks towards the sky, with half a bunch of white hair dancing wildly behind his head with the hurricane.
The not very tall figure looked so small in the face of the dark clouds covering the sky with flashes of lightning that it made people almost despair.
but.
Elder Sun and the others present were filled with opposite emotions.
"Being omnipotent is not a fairy."
"Flying into the sky and hiding in the ground does not mean you are an immortal."
"Moving mountains and filling the sea is not a fairy."
Old Sun muttered to himself, then suddenly stood up and slapped the director on the head to express his inner excitement.
"This is a fairy, this is a fairy!"
Chapter 79 Overcoming the Tribulation
Lin Miao was carried by the crowd and moved passively along the asphalt road towards the outside of the city.
Thunder was looming in the dark sky, and deafening thunder echoed between heaven and earth from time to time, giving a scene of impending doomsday.
"Don't push! Come this way!"
The soldiers in camouflage uniforms on the roadside waved their hands and shouted commands in hoarse voices.
"boom--"
Even though the thunder had started a few days ago, Lin Miao still couldn't get used to it and covered her ears tightly with her hands.
"Ah!" someone screamed.
Subconsciously looking back, Lin Miao stood on tiptoe and saw a huge black pit emitting burnt smoke in the middle of the asphalt road where the crowd had just passed by, which was struck by lightning.
After a moment of stagnation, the crowd suddenly burst into panic shouting and rushed forward frantically.
Lin Miao, who was already exhausted, didn't have time to react and was pushed to the ground.
Her eyes were filled with fear and she was desperately grabbing around with her hands.
If so many people fell to the ground, each of them could trample her to death.
"Be careful."
She had nothing to hold on to and was about to fall when a hand suddenly reached out from her left and grabbed her arm.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Miao stood still in panic and was pushed forward by the crowd. On the left side of her head, in the dim sky, she saw a girl with short hair.
