Chapter 354: Chapter 350: Flying Boulders
"Over there."
Su Changxing keenly sensed the commotion in the distance, the highly concentrated energy causing a change in the space.
This feeling was familiar.
Zhong Jueqing?
Many people showed strange expressions on their faces, also feeling that abnormal energy fluctuation, like ripples created when a stone is thrown into the water.
Cheng Ji Yuan nodded and affird:
"Yes, it’s over there, at the edge of the small town, a large factory directly connected to the Energy Station."
"By the ti I left, that area was already surrounded by a large number of New humans······"
Lin Xiuyu waved his hand and said, "If we go directly like this, we will collide with a large number of New humans head-on. It’s better to detour from the avenue to the east."
This indeed was a very safe approach, as those New humans wouldn’t surround the entire factory.
Huang Biao nodded in agreent and said, "That’s the best. We can first see what’s going on over there."
At this stage, even the rashest people would choose to be cautious, cautious again.
In fact, except for a few people, most people’s minds were blank, including Zhou An who was only following orders.
Su Changxing thought for a mont and concluded decisively, "Let’s do that, there’s no other way."
They prepared to detour from the town’s avenue to the northeast side of the factory, thus avoiding encountering a large number of New humans.
Things were indeed as they judged, but these New humans seed to be consciously searching for their location.
A figure suddenly darted out from the forward side, happening to spot them, then turned around and ran back, letting out a sharp scream.
It was a New human with thick legs, running very fast.
Su Changxing pulled out his gun and shot, a bullet accurately blasting the entire head, leaving the rest of the body falling to the ground, the scream stopping abruptly.
Lin Xiuyu couldn’t help but say, "Your gunshot might be louder than his scream."
Su Changxing paused, nodded, and said, "Valid point, but I just wanted to kill him. Once discovered, our position would be completely exposed, better to leave here quickly."
They slightly changed direction and continued to advance.
Zhu Wenwu approached from the side and said, "Seems like no other New humans are chasing us, a bit strange."
Hearing this, Zhou An pondered, "Have they beco afraid, not intending to bother with us?"
Zhu Wenwu said expressionlessly, "Maybe they don’t have the energy to deal with us."
While speaking, a fierce wind sound ca from above, a giant stone appeared above them, rapidly plumting down, seemingly thrown over.
This giant stone was very large, flat, probably a component of a building.
"Quick, scatter!"
Zhu Wenwu realized and imdiately shouted.
"Boom~"
Su Changxing pulled out his revolver, fired at the massive debris, the bullet exploded, blasting it into several small pieces, and fired a second shot, shattering the largest one.
The stone crashed to the ground with a crisp sound, and the largest piece created a four-to-five-ter pit in the street ahead.
Most people were unscathed, only one or two were struck by stones, falling to the ground.
Huang Biao quickly went over and asked, "Are you okay, Zhang Shun?"
Zhang Shun was injured again, a relatively sharp stone pierced through his shoulder, blood spraying everywhere.
Zhang Shun remained stoic, stood up from the ground, and said, "Seems like my luck isn’t great, hit again."
Huang Biao supported him, ran to the side, and said, "Good that you’re not dead."
Su Changxing looked in the direction the stone ca from and shouted, "Scatter, let’s hide in the alley."
As expected, when they all retreated into the alley, another giant stone flew in a parabolic arc from afar, crashing onto the street with a loud noise, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.
Zhu Wenwu observed and said, "It ca from a far distance, aiming at our forward location."
Huang Biao showed surprise and said, "From far? Is it a catapult?"
What he could think of was using a catapult to launch the stone, capable of reaching such a distance.
Lin Xiuyu responded, "Doesn’t seem like it, catapults aren’t this precise, usually for demolishing city walls."
Zhou An leaned against the wall, looked at the flying saber in his hand, and said:
"Thrown over? Doesn’t seem possible, requires great strength."
Just halfway through speaking, he began to deny himself, feeling it was unlikely.
Su Changxing, after brief contemplation, said, "Let’s leave here imdiately, stay quiet, try not to make loud noises."
Huang Biao simply treated a few injured, then they left imdiately.
A few minutes later, another giant stone flew over them, only to be blocked by a building, a mass of dust fell from the sky.
"Go!
"The building’s going to collapse."
Huang Biao shouted back, bending over to navigate through the rubble.
They were like a pack of sewer rats, scrambling in all directions for survival.
Su Changxing was helpless, though he could handle the giant stones, his bullets were limited, could not afford such waste.
They could only keep searching for cover facing away from that direction, and as they got more familiar, they weren’t as frantic as initially.
It wasn’t until the eighth stone that they stopped, the world suddenly beca quiet, no crashing noise, and the tremors ceased.
"Seems like it’s over."
Huang Biao exhaled a long breath.
The stones, falling one by one, were very oppressive.
Su Changxing stopped, observed the surrounding buildings, and said, "We seem to have deviated from the planned route, there might be New humans nearby."
Speaking of which, he saw Lin Xiuyu walking over, seemingly having sothing to say.
Lin Xiuyu’s eyes were exceptionally bright, strikingly beautiful, moved his mouth without making a sound, held up three fingers.
Thirty percent probability?
Su Changxing motioned with his eyes, continued leading the team nonchalantly, contemplating how Lin Xiuyu might die.
The heavy lines on his face suggested that with the Energy Station’s effect, death was very possible, but if for other reasons, it ant all of them were in danger.
Lin Xiuyu pursed his lips, continued:
"I just contacted those people over there, they’ve suffered heavy losses, now those New humans have temporarily stopped attacking, the boss is confronting them, but it likely won’t last long."
Su Changxing calculated, said, "Let’s go straight over, it’s very close now."
From this position, the flickering lightning in the sky faintly visible, like neon in a sleepless city, radiating coldness.
As they walked further, they saw a group of New humans approaching them, in the darkness, both sides were montarily stunned.
