Chapter 199: The First Puff of Smoke
Chapter 199: The First Puff of Smoke
Jing Yilan was walking alone on the street, thinking about the news she had learned.
She was a little depressed because she found that Shanzhe was right.
A young girl like her, with her white fingers, thin arms and little strength, has no weight in her words.
"Jing Yilan."
She heard the man's voice and turned around.
"Brother Lin?"
Perhaps because she met an acquaintance, she felt inexplicably relieved, but this was not enough to free her from her original depressed mood.
"You look like you're not in a good mood."
"I……"
"Hey, do you know this girl? I'm telling you, she's not very smart. She's talking about war and rebellion..." A shopkeeper laughed, "If there really is a war, I'll eat this stuffed toy."
The next moment, a wisp of white smoke passed through the distant sky, and after a loud explosion, a thick black smoke floated up.
The boss didn't care about Jing Yilan at the moment, but stared at the thick smoke, "What was that just now?"
"Standard bomb." Lin Zishan saw the situation clearly and looked at the boss seriously. "You need to think about how to eat this."
The boss was stunned at this time, "Little girl, what you said is true..."
At this moment, he looked at Jing Yilan and thought of the stories passed down from the Wayne Empire.
The envoys from the East presented the treasure to Emperor Wayne, who used it to train a group of powerful sorcerers. The envoy said that Wayne's glory would only last for a hundred years.
The emperor was furious and afraid of the emperor in the east, so he had to drive the envoy out of the palace. After that, Wayne was indeed destroyed a hundred years later.
Jing Yilan's appearance reminded him of the Eastern envoy in the story.
"Little girl, do you know what to do next?" He suddenly grabbed Jing Yilan's wrist, his face full of hope.
He didn't want to be cannon fodder.
Jing Yilan was numbed by the desire in his eyes, "Sorry, I don't know."
She didn't know what to do either.
Inside the Wayne Palace.
"I don't know what that lady looks like, and she doesn't allow anyone to see her." Sheng Zhou was curious.
He suspected that it was because in some extremely feudal countries, women had a very low status and were hardly allowed to meet guests, so they kept it hidden.
"That lady is not someone a child like you can discuss." The housekeeper reminded.
The country behind that lady possesses technology far superior to other countries, but it advocates peace. If a country can obtain guidance from the scientific and technological talents of that country, no matter which country it is, it can accelerate its technological advancement.
How can you, a student who hasn't even finished her education, be qualified to criticize her?
"I'm just curious." Sheng Zhou touched his nose.
From this point of view, that lady really is not a good person.
He thought of Jiang Fu, who was running around somewhere, and said, "Sister Ran, do you think we should tell them about our encounter with Jiang Fu?"
"What does she have to do with me? If she runs into the guards and gets caught, it will be her own bad luck." Jiang Yiran strolled around casually.
At this moment, she saw a wisp of white smoke passing through the distant sky, and huge black smoke rose into the sky, with a deafening sound.
"Sister Ran, what is that?" Sheng Zhou felt that his voice was as weak as a mosquito in the face of such a noise.
The housekeeper was not in a hurry at all. "Miss Jiang Yiran, something is going to happen. Take your friends to the underground safe house and hide."
"Ah?" Sheng Zhou was stunned.
He didn't quite understand the situation.
"Let's go." Jiang Yiran pulled him and went to the safe house.
Now the priority is to ensure Shengzhou’s safety. As for other things, we will wait for Richard to come back and then prove them in detail.
Outside the palace.
"Kane, look, that's—"
Carl pointed to the fire on the horizon.
That kind of noise meant that Richard had taken action.
Kane reacted quickly, "Your Majesty needs to be notified. No, we don't need to be notified!"
The sudden movement was indeed unexpected, but it was so loud that the information would quickly reach the Queen's ears.
There is no need for them to notify them a second time. What they need now is to immediately understand the specific situation at the scene so that the advisers around His Majesty can calculate the situation at the scene.
"I'll go to the scene, you go to the palace." Kane's mind raced. "Richard definitely has some people staying in the palace. He might be colluding with the people outside. If we want to understand his plan, we can start here."
But no matter which direction you go, there will be danger.
"No, I'll go to the scene." Carl was firm.
Kane has always been smarter and more capable than him. If Kane goes to the palace, he will be able to dig up more information.
Moreover, the palace is safer than the explosion site and communication is more convenient.
"Okay, let's do it without further ado." Kane agreed.
The two parted ways and headed in different directions.
Jiang Fu tried hard to hide his breath and left the tower carefully.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, a piece of the step under my feet suddenly collapsed.
"Dilapidated? That's not right." She felt something was wrong.
This tower is not an ancient building, but a landscape built last year. Richard, a duke, does not need to do shoddy construction, which means -
Someone is definitely playing tricks.
If she stayed in this tower any longer, she would definitely be in danger.
Without any hesitation, she jumped out of the window.
It will be a bit painful to land though.
Sure enough, as she left, the entire tower collapsed into ruins in an instant, and the person who created all this was standing in front of her.
"Disaster042, I have received instructions from the adults. I have to take you back." Li Li was wearing the standard equipment of the hunting team, and his eyes behind the protective mask stared at her calmly.
He didn't carry any weapons and didn't make any movements, but Jiang Fu felt a pressure.
It was like a mountain was pressing down on her head.
No, to be precise, it was the ground beneath her feet that was pulling her down.
"You can't get up."
His ability is gravity control. As long as he wants, he can keep Jiang Fu fixed to the ground forever.
Jiang Fu tried to raise his hands, but his fingers were too heavy to lift, so he could only lie on the ground.
After just a moment's thought, she smiled.
"I can't run away, so have you figured out how to catch me?"
No matter what, Li Li is still a mortal. She can't get up under this kind of gravity, so Li Li naturally can't do it either.
But if Li Li cancels his "talent", then with her reaction ability and physical fitness, she can still deal with him for a while, or take the opportunity to escape.
"I'm not in a hurry to take you back now." Li Li raised his hand and clenched it for a moment.
The next moment, Jiang Fu felt that the gravity around her became even stronger, and the ruins near her sank into the ground, forming a small pit.
If her physical strength wasn't different from that of an ordinary person, she would have fainted by now.
"I've seen your physical data. Although it's much higher than a normal person's, if it exceeds a certain threshold, you will be injured." Li Li looked down at her. "I want to see how long you can hold on."
