Chapter 266 A Heavenly Descent from Jin City
The "Kunpeng" transport plane hovered two thousand meters above Jincheng.
The sound of friction between the fuselage and the air disappeared.
All that remained was the low hum of the engine keeping the aircraft suspended in mid-air.
The tail door of the aircraft was wide open.
The city lights at night spread out like an endless, dazzling carpet beneath your feet.
The wind from high above blew in, carrying moisture.
Lu Yan stood at the cabin door.
On the virtual screen in front of him, a 3D structural diagram of a 32-story office building was rotating.
The red thermal energy signals are densely distributed on the top layer.
"Morning Star Guild Building".
Lu Yan's voice rang out in the team channel.
"A gathering of awakened individuals is being held on the 32nd floor."
The enlarged structural diagram clearly shows every room and every ventilation duct on the 32nd floor.
"Our goal is to sever this 'communication'."
At the same time, on the 32nd floor of the building.
Melodious music flowed through the reception hall.
Well-dressed men and women, holding wine glasses, moved through the crowd.
They are among the most prominent awakened individuals in Jincheng.
Several security personnel in sharp suits stood in a corner of the lobby, their eyes scanning the entire room warily.
A security guard approached a slightly tipsy, awakened individual.
"Sir, you've spilled your wine."
He handed over a clean white handkerchief.
The Great Awakener looked down and saw a small cut on the back of his hand, from which blood was seeping.
He doesn't even remember when he cut his hand.
Thanks.
He took the handkerchief and casually wiped the back of his hand.
The security guard smiled, took back the handkerchief, and turned to walk towards an inconspicuous corner.
There is a filter compartment for a vent there.
He wrung out his handkerchief.
A few drops of bright red blood dripped into a hidden collection dish inside the filter tank.
The blood flows down through tiny tubes and into a larger container.
The entire reception hall resembled a beautifully packaged blood donation site.
High in the sky, the cabin of the "Kunpeng" aircraft.
"Old Zhao."
Lu Yan closed the structure diagram.
"Your turn."
"Okay!"
Zhao Leiguang's response was instantly ripped apart by the howling wind.
He took a step forward and jumped directly from a height of two thousand meters.
There was no parachute, and no deceleration device.
The Earth Pulse suit was fully activated by the gravitational acceleration the moment he fell.
An earthy yellow light enveloped his entire body, transforming him into a burning meteorite in the pitch-black night sky.
He gripped the Taotie Twin Shields tightly with both hands, protecting himself in front of him, transforming himself into a perfect armor-piercing cone.
Wind resistance is minimized.
The speed is constantly increasing.
In the reception hall, someone inadvertently looked up and gazed out at the huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall.
"What is that?"
In the night sky, a point of light is rapidly growing larger.
next second.
boom--
The yellowish-brown meteorite precisely struck through 32 layers of explosion-proof glass curtain walls, each 10 centimeters thick.
Glass, steel bars, and concrete are as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of absolute kinetic energy.
Zhao Lei, shield in hand, smashed through a core load-bearing column connecting the rooftop and the foundation.
He landed in the very center of the reception hall.
His tactical boots sank into the hard marble floor, and spiderweb-like cracks spread from him throughout the hall.
The huge pressure difference caused the cold air from high altitudes to rush in.
The music stopped abruptly.
The sound of wine glasses shattering echoed throughout the room.
Screams mingled with the sound of the wind, echoing throughout the entire floor.
Five figures followed closely behind, bursting in through the huge breach.
Wen Yue landed and half-squatted.
The butt of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow was pressed against his shoulder, the movement completed in one fluid motion.
In a corner of the lobby, a man who looked like the security captain was lunging at the red emergency alarm on the wall.
His finger was about to press down.
Wen Yue pulled the trigger.
Three high-explosive grenades were fired in a triangular pattern from the barrel.
They did not fly towards the man.
They flew towards the ceiling above the man's head.
The explosions occurred almost simultaneously.
The shattered ceiling, along with the reinforced concrete inside, crashed down on them.
The sirens, the control console, and the security captain were buried alive in the rubble.
The lights in the reception hall flickered twice and then went out completely.
The red emergency light came on.
The ground was a mess, reflecting a bloody hue.
"Protect us! What are you all good for?!"
An awakened individual roared at the security personnel around him.
The security guards in suits ignored the guests' questions.
They tore off their disguise.
scoff.
The expensive suit fabric was torn from the inside out.
One after another, pale white bone spurs pierced out from their backs.
Their skin turned grayish-white, and their eyes were covered with a white film.
"clear."
Lu Yan's instruction was only one word in the channel.
Xiao Qianyu's figure disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it had already broken into the security personnel's formation.
The dark gold blade of the Dragon King Halberd drew deadly arcs under the red light of the emergency lights.
Three security guards who had just undergone mutation clutched their necks.
Silver blood gushed from between their fingers.
Their bodies swayed, they fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.
"Silver blood?"
Xiao Qianyu's voice rang out in the channel, tinged with a hint of doubt.
Lu Yan's gaze swept over the corpse on the ground.
It is indeed silver.
It has a completely different energy system from the false gods created in Europe.
"Don't let them get away!"
Lin Chuxue's voice was filled with excitement.
She didn't even get close; she simply slammed the Blood Pool Howling Staff onto the ground.
The dark red blood explosion magic circle spread outwards from her center, one after another.
The entire floor of the reception hall was covered by a magic array.
The newly mutated security personnel were swallowed up by the crimson energy tide that erupted beneath their feet before they even had a chance to demonstrate their power.
Their bodies decomposed and evaporated under the onslaught of magical energy.
Not even a drop of silver blood remained.
Shen Xinglin stood silently in front of the huge hole, his ever-changing lance held horizontally in front of his chest, blocking all the guests who tried to escape from there.
Su Yunqing's Yao Guang's staff glowed with a soft light, ensuring that no civilian awakened one suffered a fatal injury in the chaos just now.
Less than a minute.
The battle is over.
In the hall, apart from the first squad and the guests who were huddled in the corners in fear, there was not a single living creature standing.
The cold wind from high above whistled through the shattered tempered glass on the ground.
"Are you... done fighting?"
Zhao Lei pulled the shield out of the ground, looking like he hadn't had enough.
Just then.
Ding--
A crisp notification sound came from the other side of the hall.
That was the sound of the private elevator arriving at the thirty-first floor.
All eyes turned to the tightly closed metal door.
Behind the door, a new enemy lurks.
Zhao Lei held his two shields horizontally in front of him, assuming a charging stance.
The elevator doors slid open slowly to both sides.
Those standing inside were not the mutant reinforcements.
Instead, it was a man wearing the standard combat uniform of the 7th Detachment of the Chinese military.
On his shoulders was the rank of deputy captain.
The man looked at the devastated hall before him, then at the entire first squad, and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Yan.
He was stunned.
Then, he raised his hand and gave a standard military salute.
"Li Hang, deputy captain of the 7th Detachment."
His voice carried a hint of regret and relief at arriving late.
"I have been ordered to come here... to assist the Morning Star Guild in handling this emergency."
He glanced at the pieces of debris and bloodstains on the ground.
"It now appears that the situation has been resolved."
