It is not an easy task to go against the flow of people fleeing for their lives. While pushing away the panicked crowd, Kurapika looked anxiously at the flames of the battlefield in the distance.
The gang put hundreds of gunmen with live ammunition in the block where the cemetery building was located. However, these armed gunmen armed with modern rifles and even grenades seemed so powerless against the raid of only eight members of the brigade. I can only watch helplessly as my companion dies at the hands of the enemy and keeps pushing forward.
This battle of modern firearms against the ability to resist minds used extremely vivid examples to show what kind of force the creatures at the top of the food chain in this world possessed, and why Shattered Starry Sky called it the Hunter World.
"Hey..." Kurapika was running when the phone vibrated in his pocket.
"Qin Lun, have you reached the battlefield yet?" Kurapika asked in surprise.
Although he set off from the noodle shop a little later than Qin Lun, but it has only been about ten minutes now, and it is not an easy task to pass the flow of people around the battlefield.
"Young man, you have chains, why do you have to walk on the ground and squeeze with ordinary people!" Qin Lun couldn't help covering his face while looking at the monitoring screen.
"Walking on the ground can save some women and children who have been trampled by people along the way!" Kurapika's calm voice came from the phone, which surprised Qin Lun, "Since you have arrived first, did you see Pak Norda and Is Xiaodi two preliminary targets?"
"Kurapika, did you see the sewer manhole cover on your left?" Qin Lun said slowly, "Go down, I'll arrange a response man through the 'Ten Old Man' below, and he will take you to the ambush location."
"Huh?" Kurapika turned his head and took a look, and sure enough, he found a manhole cover on the ground in front of him on the left, and a vein erected on his forehead, "You guys are hiding in a monitoring room like the previous few times, using us as tools ,right?"
"Since you chose to cooperate with me, don't you already have this kind of awareness?" Qin Lun chuckled and admitted it very simply.
"Where is the melody?" Kurapika held back his anger and said indignantly.
"I will inform her that you hurry up and act, and if you miss the opportunity, there will be no more." Qin Lun glanced at the screen and began to speak seriously.
"Hmph!" Kurapika leaned over and lifted the manhole cover, and climbed down the well with the rusty hanging ladder.
"Mr. Kurapika, please follow me!" Qin Lun didn't lie this time. As soon as the boy got down on the ground, a beam of flashlight shone on his face in the dark sewer.
"This is not the direction to the cemetery building!" After walking for a few minutes in the dark sewer with the man in black, Kurapika frowned.
"Hehe, don't worry, we'll be there after turning another fork ahead." The man in black turned his head and smiled.
Just as the man in black said, after turning the fork ahead, a more spacious corridor appeared in front of the two of them. There were even a few incandescent lamps installed on the corridor wall to illuminate this corridor.
However, Kurapika looked at the tunnel in front of him, but stared at his beautiful big eyes, and his face was full of shock in disbelief.
This passage was not a sewer at all. In front of them was a driveway about three meters wide and paved with railroad tracks. There is also a simple locomotive with a searchlight parked on the driveway. Judging from the condition of the corridor covered with dust and spider webs, this is a long-abandoned subway section.
"The municipal government of Yorkson City wanted to build a subway directly to the capital in the early years, but because Yorkson City belongs to the Gobi terrain, the underground is covered with hard rocks, and the difficulty of the project is beyond everyone's imagination, so this plan was eventually abandoned. "
The man in black who led the way introduced with emotion, "If it weren't for Mr. Qin Lun's inquiry, we would never have remembered that there is such an abandoned subway corridor under this block. In addition, this simple locomotive is our 'Borrowed' from the mines outside the city, originally used to haul iron ore from the mines."
"... What does he want?" Kurapika's face was still a little dazed, unable to understand and digest the large amount of information coming into his ears.
"Mr. Kurapika, please put on the oxygen mask first, so that we can cover up our breath!" The man in black reached out and handed the boy a mask, and pointed to the locomotive opposite, "I will explain to you after getting on the car, to avoid Let the 'circle' of the brigade members perceive us."
("Circle": the advanced combined application of "wrapping" and "practicing" allows the qi to expand outward with itself as the center of the circle, and can detect intruders within the range covered by the qi, including the underground.)
After getting in the car, seeing Kurapika still staring at him unblinkingly, the man in black smiled and explained: "Mr. Qin Lun is a genius, or...a criminal genius!"
The man's eyes sparkled, and he inadvertently revealed a trace of fanaticism, "When he was making the plan, he told us that the Phantom Brigade is very powerful. If it is in the plains, any one of their members can wipe out hundreds of people in this block. Gunners. However, the Phantom Brigade also has two irreparable weaknesses!"
…
The gunfire and explosions intensified as the brigade approached the cemetery building from all directions. Despite the natural cover of houses and cars, hundreds of gangster gunmen still suffered heavy casualties, and the battlefield has been pushed to a distance of more than 100 meters from the cemetery building.
"Da da da!" The huge Franklin showed his skills. In this battle, his two-handed machine gun played a killing effect far superior to that of other brigade members. The powerful Nian Dan almost ignored the cover in front of the gangster gunmen and shot them one by one.
What is strange is that there are several gangster gunmen also wearing black suits who are fighting with him next to him. It seems that there are also several traitors in the gang.
However, Franklin had the defense of mind power, but these gangster gunmen did not. He was quickly shot into a sieve during the counterattack and fell into a pool of blood.
"Aha, they are all broken, and I have to catch a few more!" The knight smiled and jumped down from a big tree by the roadside. Those gangster gunmen who turned against each other were living puppets controlled by him.
"Boom!" At this moment, there was a muffled explosion sound from the street where Franklin and the knight were located, and a small western-style building on the right collapsed, hitting them.
"Hehe, is that black hand's little move again?" Franklin smiled and swayed, calmly avoiding a large amount of rubble. For the brigade, this kind of attack seemed too childish.
What's more, they have encountered such an intensity explosion attack on the periphery before, even if it is a little sudden, they will not be hurt.
"It seems that he is at the end of his rope. I don't know why the leader and you value him so much!" Franklin waved the dust with his hand, "Warrior... Huh? Knight!"
Franklin's expression tightened suddenly, he couldn't feel the aura of a knight, and immediately ran two steps to the position where the sunshine boy was just now.
"Damn it!" Franklin's eyes widened instantly as he looked at the huge deep pit on the ground ahead and the faintly visible corridor underneath.
"Boom!" Just as Franklin wanted to jump off the deep pit to rescue the knight. A huge explosion sounded at the right time on the left side of the street, and another residential building collapsed, but this time it was not aimed at Franklin, but at the deep hole in the ground.
"Boom!" This time the collapsed house almost completely filled the deep pit that was blasted on the ground, completely cutting off Franklin's pursuit.
"This... bastard..." Franklin's face changed drastically, recalling what he said just now, he finally understood why the leader and the knight were so afraid of that black hand, and the price was another companion!
…
"The first weakness of the brigade is that they are too small in number. Even if they have extremely powerful telekinetic abilities, a mere dozen or so people can't control the entire battlefield at all, and their ability to respond to emergencies and rescue them is insufficient."
The man in black stared viciously at the warriors in the carriage who were chained like rice dumplings, and continued, "As long as you paralyze them in the early stage, you can use the same method to create a fighting leader!"
"You are the black hand hiding behind the scenes!" The knight seemed completely unaware of the crisis on his body, still smiling brightly, glanced at the chains on his body, and asked the man in black, "Then what about our other weaknesses? ?”
The chivalrous man was actually not as calm as he appeared on his face. He had already avoided the fallen mansion just now, but he didn't expect the ground below him to explode and collapse at the same time, so he had no time to react.
It's a chain trap!
After falling down the subway corridor, although the knight had already made a defensive move, his body hadn't landed yet. There was a "crash" in the darkness, and he was tightly bound by a silver chain.
"Of course I'm not Qin..."
"Shut up!" Kurapika interrupted his companion coldly. Although he didn't like Qin Lun, he didn't want the brigade to get the youth's true identity.
"Your second weakness is your background in Meteor Street!" Kurapika glanced at the knight indifferently, a trace of admiration for someone unconsciously flashed in his eyes, "Fighting for survival all the year round has given you the ability to surpass ordinary people. Your will and fighting ability have also made you used to getting something for nothing.
It's a pity that the omnipotent robbery makes you disdain or not take the initiative to learn real military knowledge, especially the three-dimensional warfare in modern cities, thus ignoring the threats from the air and underground beyond the 'circle'! "
"And when the enemy gets the trump card that can kill or capture you, this initiative becomes the key to destroying you!" The man in black looked at Kurapika meaningfully, and said a little proudly, "That gentleman knows a few Explosives can't hurt you, but he's been using them anyway, and have you never wondered why?"
"Since then, he has already set up tonight's game!" Hearing the man in black's words, the expressions of the knight and Kurapika changed at the same time.
