Chapter 3 003: The Explosion and the Rescue!

003:

Luo Wei quickly looked away, realizing he was being a bit neurotic. Although it was only early autumn and the temperature in the south didn't drop as quickly as in the north, people sensitive to cold weather would still find it hard to accept even a slight drop in temperature.

Besides, even if the man in the trench coat did some petty theft, like stealing a few books or something else, Lowe wouldn't care, lest he become someone's target. Even though he's hard to be hurt by ordinary people, after all, a few years ago he was already capable of taking on ten Captain Americas single-handedly.

But who says that with great power comes great responsibility? Unless someone can give him a convincing reason, or someone crosses his bottom line.

After all, the world doesn't need saviors, yet people are calling for them every day.

Whether the summoning succeeds or fails depends on just one reason.

"Luo Yonghao, Mr. Jin Yong has released a new martial arts novel."

Wang Zikai picked up a martial arts novel from the table and excitedly flipped through it. "It really is the latest volume. I haven't read this part before."

"Don't even think about buying novels; you only have enough money to buy workbooks."

Luo Wei put his mind at ease, no longer paying attention to the man in the trench coat, and went to the last bookshelf on the second floor to find the workbook that his teacher had specified.

"Can't I just sit here and watch? It's only a little past five. I'm planning to watch it before going home. Lao Luo, do you want to stay and watch it with me?"

Wang Zikai held a martial arts novel, asking questions as he read.

"No need, I read his books in my past life. This volume is interesting; the part about the androids that you've been most looking forward to is coming soon."

Luo Wei looked at the book title and his face lit up with amusement.

"Damn, you're not lying to me?"

Wang Zikai was excited.

Why would I lie to you? You won't get any candy if I lie to you.

Luo Wei casually replied that he vaguely remembered that the content of this volume was that the protagonist's female master was immobilized and ended up being slept with by an outsider. To be honest, such a plot would definitely poison 99% of readers in online novels. Even with Luo Wei's strong resistance back then, he almost couldn't recover.

However, it is indeed a story about artificial humans.

"trust you."

Wang Zikai gave a silly smile, "You go back first after you're done shopping. I'm going to find a corner to 'admire my own beauty'."

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Don't forget to buy the workbook, or the teacher will find another opportunity to call your parents."

Luo Wei remembered that his good friend was often forgetful, so he reminded him. Then he picked out a workbook without any creases and went downstairs. When he passed the second floor, there were still a lot of people sitting on the stairs reading. Everyone tacitly kept quiet, and the only sound was the sound of pages turning.

In his previous life, Luo Wei often saw this beautiful scenery when he was young. However, after the development of the Internet and the emergence of mobile phones, the library became much quieter, and few people could calm their restless hearts and sit on the steps to read books anymore.

Times are changing, the pace is getting faster and faster, and things are getting more and more competitive. Some people say they're going to lie down and relax, but as soon as it gets light, they all rush to climb up the ladder.

"Twenty-one yuan."

"for you."

As soon as Luo Wei paid and left the library, a familiar figure under a bus stop sign on the roadside in the distance caught his attention. It was none other than the man in the trench coat from before.

The man in the trench coat was sitting under the bus stop sign, smoking a cigarette and reading a newspaper. Two buses passed by, but he didn't seem inclined to get on.

Moreover, men

He held a newspaper open in his hand, wearing sunglasses, and was reading it carefully. He would occasionally flick the ash from his cigarette, and the area around his feet was littered with cigarette butts and ash mixed with saliva.

He wasn't reading the newspaper.

As Luo Wei approached the bus stop, preparing to take the bus home, he looked closer and through his sunglasses realized that the man in the trench coat wasn't reading the newspaper at all, but was staring intently in the direction of the library.

"Hey kid, what are you looking at?"

The man in the trench coat noticed a student staring at him, so he took off his sunglasses to reveal a scarred eye with a fierce look.

"Uncle, don't be so narcissistic. Who's even looking at you?"

Luo Wei remained calm and walked straight to the bus stop sign behind the man.

"Damn it, they're finally here."

At this moment, the man in the trench coat behind him rolled up the newspaper, cursed, got up and left the bus stop. No one around noticed that he put his hand in his pocket and pressed it a few times.

Dididi

"Ok?"

Only Luo Wei frowned slightly, turned his head to look at the man in the trench coat, and finally his gaze fell on the man's pocket. Perhaps it was the strong sense of crisis in his heart that made his eyes subconsciously see through the coat and see the item in the pocket. It was a homemade red button with a device connected to the back. At this moment, the device was flashing a red light, as if it had been activated!

Dididi

Boom!

The next second, a deafening roar came from the direction of the library. The terrifying explosion instantly destroyed the thick walls, and the ground shook violently. Everything happened too fast.

In an instant, countless bricks were blown away and scattered in all directions. Thick, billowing black smoke rose and enveloped the deep blue sky. The scorching heat even distorted the air, making it appear wrinkled and broken. Bicycles and pedestrians parked outside the building were overturned by the giant waves, and the adjacent buildings were also charred black.

"There's been an explosion over there!"

"How could this happen so suddenly? A gas leak!?"

"Does anyone have a cell phone? Call the police right now!"

"My goodness, this could be a fatal situation!"

The people waiting at the bus stop were sweating profusely as they watched this scene. Some of them had just come from the library, and if they had been a moment later, they would have been the ones trapped inside!

"How could this happen? Wang Zikai is still in the library. Was it the man in the trench coat who did it?"

Luo Wei's pupils widened slightly as he stared at the burning library. Suddenly remembering the man in the trench coat from earlier, he immediately turned around to look for him and found the man still standing on a street corner not far away, gazing at the library.

With his superhuman vision, Luo Wei could see every expression on the man in the trench coat's face. He was smiling, as if he were enjoying the sins he had committed.

"Stop!"

Without further hesitation, Luo Wei strode towards the man in the trench coat.

"Damn it, I knew this little brat was going to cause trouble!"

Seeing the student suddenly rush over, the man in the trench coat, worried about being targeted by more people, didn't bother to appreciate the perfect aesthetics of the explosion and turned to run away.

But as soon as he turned around, his shoulder was firmly pressed down. Turning his head, he saw a tall young man standing right behind him, a hundred meters away.

"Where are you running off to?!"

Luo Wei's youthful eyes gleamed with a dark light as he tightened his grip on the man's shoulder, demanding, "Did you do this?!"

"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The man in the trench coat swallowed hard, trying to break free from the boy's grasp, but the hand was like an iron clamp, firmly gripping his shoulder, and the hand tightened its hold.

The tighter.

"Hand over what's in your pocket."

As Luo Wei spoke, he tightened his grip, and several middle-aged and elderly men and women around him noticed them and cast surprised glances at the two of them.

You're talking nonsense.

"what--"

The man in the trench coat was about to argue when a sharp, tearing pain shot through his shoulder, and his face turned deathly pale. "Damn it, it's broken! You're committing a crime!"

boom!

Luo Wei stopped indulging him and swung his bulging fist, punching the man in the trench coat on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Then he bent down and took the controller from the man's pocket, saying, "Keep those words to the police."

Luo Wei then quickly had several onlookers tie up the man in the trench coat, instructed them to call the police, and handed the controller to them for safekeeping. Without wasting any more time, he rushed towards the library.

The explosion occurred on the first floor.

Luo Wei admitted that looking at the burning library and hearing cries all around him, he felt terrible. He regretted not stopping the man in the trench coat immediately when he suspected him. But no one could have predicted this would happen. It was no use regretting it now. The fire had spread to the surrounding buildings and facilities. The scorching, thick smoke around them was like a demon raging and howling, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

People were still trying their best to pour water into the library in buckets to extinguish the fire, but it was all in vain; the fire was too big.

"There's nothing we can do but wait for the fire department to arrive; no one can get in at all."

"The first floor is probably destroyed; the explosion point is on the first floor."

"But there are still people on the second floor! The second floor wasn't hit much by the explosion. If it had been any later, those people would definitely have been choked to death by the thick smoke!"

A dozen or so men and women, their faces covered in dust, stared at the library across the street. The heat from the raging fire was intense, and everyone's face was flushed red. The scene was suffocating.

"Hey, young man, what are you doing?! Stop right there!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a tall and strong figure strode towards the burning building. Before anyone could see his face, his back was already swallowed by the thick smoke.

"Was I dreaming? Did someone just rush in?"

A middle-aged man rubbed his eyes.

"You're not dreaming, someone really went in. Did you see what he looked like? I don't think I remember what he looked like."

"No, I couldn't see it clearly either, it was a bit blurry."

Why didn't you stop them earlier?

"Given what just happened, who could possibly react in time!"

At this moment, a raging fire is burning on the first floor of the library. The ferocious flames howl like ghostly faces. The air is thin and suffocating, and every space is filled with scalding smoke. Underneath the collapsed ruins, some charred limbs are vaguely visible.

"call"

The boy who had just rushed in from outside acted as if nothing had happened. He walked into the hellish space, untouched by the flames or the thick smoke.

The boy was none other than Rowe, who possessed Kryptonian blood. He didn't wear any mask and rushed straight in.

Not long ago, he was still thinking about what reasons he could use to convince himself to carry out justice. Now he realizes that some things don't need reasons. When you hear the hysterical cries and pleas for help from inside the building, and see your best friend trapped in the fire.

Perhaps they realized that they had no choice but to take action.
