You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

19: 58.

"squeak--!"

The ear-piercing sound of tires screeching through the night sky.

The black Yamaha R1, like a runaway beast, drifted at an almost 90-degree angle and came to a stop at the edge of Century Square.

The immense inertia caused Su Qingge to slam hard into Lin Chen's back.

Ignoring all the pain, she rolled off the bike, her pretty face beneath the helmet already deathly pale.

Before us lies the pinnacle of everyday life.

The square was packed with people, tens of thousands of citizens gathered there, their faces beaming with festive joy and anticipation.

Children held up colorful balloons, couples snuggled together, and laughter filled the air, creating a noisy sea of ​​joy.

The enormous musical fountain pool lies quietly in the center of the square, its countless nozzles shimmering with a cold light under the illumination of the landscape lights.

No one knew that a catastrophic disaster was about to befall them in just two minutes.

Lin Chen ripped off his helmet, his crimson eyes fixed on the direction of the fountain control center.

"It's too late..."

His voice was hoarse, tinged with despair.

Although the command center issued the order, the municipal system's response chain was too long, and it would take time to shut off the main water valve!

Now, we can't wait even a second longer!

20:00 sharp.

"when--"

The melodious bells rang out.

In an instant, the entire square's sound system was activated, and a magnificent symphony resounded through the sky!

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers!

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar of water pumps starting up came from deep underground.

Finished!

Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply!

Even though the main valve may have been closed, the immense water pressure remaining in the massive pipe that stretches for several kilometers will still relentlessly push the deadly liquid toward the nozzle!

"Get down!!!"

Lin Chen used all his strength to let out a heart-wrenching roar!

However, his voice was instantly drowned out by the deafening music and cheers.

next second.

Sizzle—Sizzle—

In the center of the square, hundreds of sprinklers were not spraying out glistening jets of water.

Instead, it was a stream of pale yellow, oily liquid that smelled like rotten apples!

The liquid was atomized under immense pressure, sprayed into the air, and then fell like raindrops, covering the central area of ​​the square.

"Huh? What's this? Champagne?"

"Why is the water yellow? And it smells so bad!"

People looked up in confusion, letting the deadly "rain" soak into their skin and clothes.

Carbon disulfide evaporates rapidly, carrying away heat and leaving them feeling only a chill.

However, the white phosphorus particles attached to them were already thirstily exposed to the air!

Right now!

To complement the fountain show, the circuitry of a row of underground landscape lights in the center of the square suddenly short-circuited because it was contaminated with a conductive chemical solution!

"Snapped!"

A tiny spark of electricity appeared.

This spark became the fuse that ignited hell!

boom--!!!

A terrifying pillar of fire, tens of meters high, suddenly rose from the center of the square without warning, shooting straight into the sky!

The towering flames instantly ignited the flammable gas that filled the air, which was formed from the atomization of chemical liquids!

In an instant, the entire musical fountain was transformed into a fountain of deathly flames!

Hundreds of nozzles no longer spewed water, but deadly flames!

"Aaaaaah—!"

The cheers were instantly replaced by a piercing scream!

Those in the central area were instantly ignited by the white phosphorus on their bodies, turning into human torches that rolled and wailed on the ground!

What was once a romantic square has been transformed in the blink of an eye into a living hell of blood and fire!

The crowd went crazy!

Screams, shoving, crying!

The instinct for survival drove everyone to flee frantically to the outskirts, and countless people were pushed down and trampled in the chaos!

Although the fire did not cover the entire square due to insufficient water pressure, the core area was already a sea of ​​fire.

The cries of children, the screams of women, and the desperate wails of men intertwined to create the most cruel symphony.

Looking at the hellish scene before her, Su Qingge felt a chill run through her body, and her delicate frame trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Chen's teeth were already bleeding from biting them.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his [God-level Insight] was activated to its fullest extent at this moment!

The chaotic fire scene and countless fleeing figures were instantly digitized in his eyes.

His gaze pierced through the flames and thick smoke, and suddenly froze!

On the edge of the sea of ​​fire.

A little girl, about four or five years old, tripped over a fallen GG sign and got her foot stuck.

She looked at the approaching flames and the people running past her, their bodies ablaze and screaming in terror. She was so frightened that she forgot to cry, and her small body trembled like a leaf.

She was surrounded by a wall of fire that kept spreading!

No one dared to save them!

"Help! Someone save them!"

Su Qingge roared, ready to rush in regardless of everything.

"call--"

A wave of scorching heat rushed towards her, instantly igniting the ends of her hair!

The intense heat, enough to melt steel, forced her to retreat several steps, her face filled with resentment and despair.

Right at this moment.

Lin Chen moved.

Without a moment's hesitation, he swiftly ripped off his thick motorcycle jacket, rushed to the nearby ornamental pond, and soaked his clothes completely.

He quickly draped his cold, wet clothes over himself and headed towards the sea of ​​fire, going against the tide!

"That person is insane!"

"Are you out of your mind?! Come back now!"

"He's saving that child! Oh my God!"

The surrounding refugees were stunned by this resolute figure, and they all stopped in their tracks, letting out a collective gasp.

Some people even instinctively raised their phones and broadcast the figure rushing towards hell live.

Lin Chen's figure moved through the raging flames.

The intense heat burned his skin, making a sizzling sound, but he seemed to feel no pain.

He ripped off the GG tag that was trapping the girl's ankle, and held the little girl, who was almost unconscious, tightly in his arms, completely wrapping her in his soaked coat.

"Don't be afraid, Uncle is here."

He growled and turned around!

Just as he turned around, a burnt-out landscape light pillar next to him collapsed with a roar, bringing with it an even more intense heat shockwave that slammed hard into his back!

"puff!"

Lin Chen let out a suppressed groan, the clothes on his back instantly turned to charcoal, and his whole body shuddered violently!

A searing pain, like a branding iron piercing through flesh, made his vision go black, but he gritted his teeth and used his superhuman willpower to steady himself. His steps did not falter at all, and he used his own spine to shield the child in his arms from this deadly impact!

He rushed out of the fire!

Amidst countless shocked, admiring, and incredulous gazes, he steadily handed the unharmed girl in his arms to the rushing medical staff.

After a brief silence, someone in the crowd, their voice trembling with tears, was the first to shout out.

"hero!"

This shout seemed to ignite the emotions of people who had survived the disaster.

"hero!!"

"Salute to the heroes!"

The applause and cheers grew from sporadic to dense, eventually merging into a wave of sobs and gasps, offering the highest tribute to the man who emerged from the inferno.

Su Qingge rushed over, and seeing Lin Chen's bloody, charred back and the soot marks on his face, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

However, Lin Chen did not relax.

He didn't even glance at his own injuries.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes burning with overwhelming rage, piercing through hundreds of meters, through the flickering flames and billowing black smoke.

[God-level Insight], fully loaded!

His gaze was fixed on the top floor of an unfinished building with more than twenty floors across the square!

There.

In the firelight, a black silhouette stood leaning against the railing.

He was like an elegant spectator, admiring the artwork he had created with his own hands, a work of art called "Destruction".

It's Zhang Yan!

He's watching!
