Chapter 12 The building collapsed
"How could that be?" Captain Fu shook his head, glanced at the surrounding environment, especially at the road, which was still quite a distance away. Even if the dump truck lost control, it wouldn't rush over from there. After stopping the truck at a sufficient distance, he began to prepare.
He decided to stick to what he knew best and not do anything new, deciding to resolve Lu Shi's bloodshed in the same place.
He himself has a level three mutation, and his physical fitness and reaction speed are beyond those of normal people.
Lu Shi, however, did not.
He would feel guilty if anything unexpected happened.
Captain Fu closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought, or perhaps praying for something.
Lu Shi seemed to vaguely see a phantom image appearing on Captain Fu.
"Alright!" Captain Fu then opened his eyes and took out the lighter.
Lu Shi nodded, took out the reality stabilizer from his body, and turned it off.
Then, seemingly recalling a detail from before, Lu Shi glanced at the scabbed scratches on his hand.
I deliberately peeled off the scab, and immediately a little red appeared.
At that very moment, the red aura emanating from Lu Shi suddenly increased.
The area where the ground had previously collapsed was now experiencing another tremor.
The abandoned buildings not far away also tilted visibly with the shaking.
It even makes people wonder if the building will collapse.
A "ding-a-ling" sound rang out, followed by some steel bars sliding down from the high-rise building.
Just like before, it seemed as if something was pulling on these steel bars, causing them to fall exceptionally fast.
Captain Fu stood guard beside Lu Shi, and at this moment he seemed much more composed.
Several pebbles appeared in his hand.
A flash of red appeared, and a pebble flew out, knocking the steel bars askew.
However, the red on Lu Shi's body did not fade, symbolizing that the disaster was not just coming in one wave.
The last steel bar was wrapped with some rope.
Under the pulling, the bamboo scaffolding that had not yet been completely dismantled next to the building also began to loosen.
As the steel bars scattered around Lu Shi and Captain Fu, the first thing to fall was the green gauze curtain.
At the same time, accompanied by the sound of something exploding, a large amount of murky water mist was sprayed out and sprinkled in the air, and some water vapor rainbows even appeared.
This thing is a safety net, and it's usually flame-retardant. Plus, it's covered with a layer of water mist, so Captain Fu's firepower might not be able to burn it all off in a short time.
Captain Fu's ability to control fire is at level three. At this level, he can move freely within the flames he creates without worrying about getting burned.
But Lu Shi is different; Captain Fu's dispatching and misalignment abilities are not yet at that level.
Igniting it at this point would only turn the safety net into a sea of fire that engulfs them.
The moment Captain Fu made his judgment, a "click" sounded around him, like the sound of a lighter being turned on.
The next moment, a large circle of bright red flames surrounded them, and then a burst of hot air suddenly appeared.
Hot updrafts!
This upward airflow, which accompanied the heat, blew the safety net away to one side.
The next moment, the bamboo scaffolding was completely disconnected and crashed down on them.
Compared to the previous logs, these bamboo rafts, connected together, are heavy and powerful, but also have a large gap in the middle.
If you stand in a good enough position, you can even pass through the bamboo raft without getting hurt.
However, Captain Fu was not careless at this moment. He had previously discovered that the abnormal phenomenon of "bloodshed" had a very obvious characteristic - adaptability.
The calamity of bloodshed will be arranged to cause fatal damage based on what is present at the scene.
Furthermore, as Captain Fu demonstrated his abilities, he even began to target specific individuals.
Both the flame-retardant safety net and the subsequent water mist spray from the burst water pipe were designed to counter Captain Fu's fire-fighting abilities.
"Fortunately, this bloodshed was just an unexpected event that triggered a Level 2 abnormal event, and it only reached Level 2 in depth, otherwise it would have been really difficult to handle," Captain Fu thought to himself.
In this society, with the development of humankind and the existence of various "creations," there are deadly points everywhere.
The trash can head only generated a little over ten points of erosion, which is considered weak even among level two monsters.
But once the dump trucks come out, even Level 3 ability users have to consider whether they can handle it.
Under modern industry, human power has been amplified, forming a tremendous force, and the ability to create things has become increasingly powerful.
Many times, even without the involvement of metaphysics, natural disasters can still occur.
Some metaphysics can only be considered a key that allows humanity to unleash its accumulated power uncontrollably.
These mystical arts, even if they are of a very low level, are still quite terrifying.
"The bamboo raft might just be something to attract attention; the real danger lies elsewhere..." Captain Fu's intuition was heightened, and his attention was now focused on the red mark on Lu Shi's body.
These red hues will all reside within those killing moves the moment they appear.
He not only needs to protect Lu Shi's safety, but also needs to seize the final killing move and find the traces that the person behind the scenes wants to cover up in that completely red aura.
Time is tight and the task is heavy.
However, the next moment, Captain Fu noticed that Lu Shi had moved.
Captain Fu was taken aback. His reaction speed and intuition were superior to Lu Shi's. Logically speaking, Lu Shi should have just stood still...
Did he discover a danger he hadn't noticed?
Captain Fu understood Lu Shi, after all, they had worked together for several months.
Lu Shi is a very calm person. Apart from his love of food, he is completely "normal".
He doesn't do anything abstract on a whim, nor does he have any particular quirks.
In daily life, they are friendly to others, yet they also have their own principles; they study and work hard, yet they also have their own hobbies.
Lu Shi is a man of law-abiding character and high moral character.
It can be said that Lu Shi is a perfectly normal and outstanding person.
Under these circumstances, Lu Shi wouldn't act rashly on a whim.
Therefore, Captain Fu chose to believe Lu Shi.
Sure enough, the next moment, the beeping of the horn sounded.
A large truck suddenly appeared from a distance and then crashed through the guardrail on the road.
At that moment, the truck driver did not stay in the relatively safe cab, but instead jumped out of the vehicle and rolled to the side.
Because behind the vehicle, several bundles of steel coils had already been propelled out by inertia, running over the cab and then crashing into the load-bearing pillar of the unfinished building.
The already tilted building tilted even more violently at that moment.
At this point, obvious cracks appeared on the wall, but the actions taken after those few bundles of steel coils became the final straw.
These steel coils, long confined in cages, were released back into nature. After crashing into the load-bearing pillars, they strangely did not stop, but instead, like unstoppable bowling balls, raced wildly through the unfinished building.
And the result was that the building collapsed!
Meanwhile, the bundles of steel coils did not stop, heading straight for where they had landed.
In a trash can on the other side of the unfinished building, a human head opened its eyes.
The man's eyes were filled with the excitement of about to kill Lu.
