Dragon Gate Swordsman

Fortunately, Zhongxiao reacted quickly and bent down to catch the plate, otherwise Redben’s already scarce furniture and supplies would have to be reduced even more...

"What's wrong with you?"

"I...my hands and legs hurt a little."

"show me."

Chongxiao, frowning, sat directly on the bed and grabbed Natalia's white jade-like hand without any hesitation. This made the girl's mind go blank and she became nervous again, but she did not dare to disobey him.

"It's nothing serious. I'll go get some medicine from Red later. You can apply it and rub it on yourself. It will heal in a day or two."

Even though Chongxiao has been a policeman for two years and is a screenwriter part-time, his medical skills are quite high.

The main reason was not only the emergency treatment training course of the Longmen Guard Bureau, but also another one, that was the little girl Huai Hu...

Having a martial arts fanatic like Huai Tianpei as a father is definitely a tragedy of varying degrees. In addition, his mother almost died in the hospital due to overwork. Even if little Huaihu does not have hatred towards his biological father, his attitude towards him is not much better.

The idea that came to her mind as a result was even more ridiculous: learn martial arts from Uncle Chongxiao, who always beat Huai Tianpei, and then teach her father a lesson herself.

But it is very difficult to learn martial arts without suffering or getting injured, especially for a little girl like Huaihu, so Chongxiao specially went to Longmen to learn some skills from a bonesetter.

"Yeah...I, I understand."

Natalia's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her little face felt hot... Girls of this age would have similar expressions when their hands were held and they would look left and right.

……

After pacifying Natalia, Chongxiao and Red began to patrol separately to prevent Viscount Kusk's men from secretly causing sabotage.

Mayor Kamarov still thought this was unlikely... It was Ursus' national policy for the patrol team to catch the infected, but openly destroying the miners' settlements was a major public security crime and should not be done casually.

However, out of trust in Red, he still gathered some people to carry out additional reinforcement work in the mine.

But no one expected that at such a tense moment, God would not give any face at all.

Frost and snowstorms are one of the most common natural disasters in Ursus. The specific manifestation is that the temperature drops suddenly due to wind and snow, causing some geological structures to crack or even explode.

If this kind of natural disaster occurred in the cold winter, it would definitely be a matter of life and death for the town of Yansk located in the valley. It has only happened two or three times in the past twenty years.

But now even autumn has not really arrived yet, and the only trouble with frost and snow explosion is probably the appearance of snowflakes that do not match the season.

Scholars in Ursus believe that the source of the frost and snowstorm is the extreme weather in the frozen snowfields in the north of the empire, and that multiple coincidences must occur at the same time, otherwise it would be almost impossible for it to appear in the south.

Not to mention Chernobyl on the southeastern border...

"Tsk... what bad luck."

Seeing more and more snowflakes in his field of vision, Chongxiao began to consider whether to go back directly.

This kind of weather in this season is as unreasonable as the vortex storm we encountered when returning to Longmen from Londinium.

I guess those people who covet the town of Yansk won't come out to cause trouble despite the natural disaster... although this is not a natural disaster in the strict sense.

It was already the afternoon of the second day when he and Red had been patrolling the foot of the mountain separately. Neither of them had found any suspicious persons or traces, which made Chongxiao begin to doubt whether his judgment was wrong.

As for Natalia, she seemed to have taken Chongxiao's explanation about the vacation seriously. Today, she even took the initiative to walk out of the guard's hut and took a walk around the town.

This always makes me feel like something is wrong...

After standing on the mountainside and taking a quick look, Chongxiao contacted Red using the walkie-talkie.

"Still not found."

"Same here...Are they just planning and have no intention of putting it into action?"

"Maybe. Let's go back first and discuss it."

To be honest, Chongxiao has already had some thoughts of retreating.

I came here initially because I believed there was some conspiracy, but nothing happened after a few days... No matter how much Chongxiao believes in his own judgment, he can't stay here to protect the town of Yansk.

I don't know what's going on with Margaret and Shining yet. They have promised to send Natalia home, and they came to Chernobyl to investigate the caravan, so how can they "not do their job" and stay in the town of Yansk?

Chongxiao, whose mind was in a mess, saw Red, who also looked very tired, at the entrance of the town.

"It seems like we are doing useless work."

"…But what if they come?"

Red spat bitterly, "These bastard nobles are really hard to figure out!"

Chongxiao didn't know what to say. After all, the information came from him. If it was really a misunderstanding, it would be too...

The two men fell into silence and slowly walked towards the guard's hut.

However, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky.

It should be the buzzing sound made by the rotation of the mechanical rotor... Chongxiao made a quick judgment.

During the two years in Longmen, he has used drones many times to deal with vicious criminals.

"Your town actually has such good stuff?"

"Very few, and rarely used. As far as I can remember, there are only two, and both are old, obsolete models. They are only used when natural disasters occur."

But this can't be considered a threatening natural disaster, right?

Chongxiao raised his head and glanced casually...

He suddenly stopped and his body froze in place.

"Red, you just said there are a few drones in your town?"

“Two.”

Reid, who was confused, answered inexplicably, but the next moment, he also froze.

Because multiple mechanical humming sounds were constantly coming from the sky... It was obvious that there were definitely more than two drones flying over the two of them at this moment.

For a moment, all the blood in Red's body seemed to freeze in his veins.

"Oh no! It's them!"

Chongxiao rushed towards the town, and Reid, who had reacted quickly, followed him.

However, the distance of two or three hundred meters passed in a flash, and when the two rushed to the small square in the center of the town, many people who had noticed the drone were already standing there, looking at the sky in surprise.

Even Natalia was there. She must have been too bored staying in the house, so she came to the town to relax.

Due to the sudden change in weather caused by the frost and snow explosion, cold air currents and icy fog covered most of the sky. Only scattered drones could be seen flying towards the front of the valley... and except for Chongxiao, who had extraordinary eyesight, no one could see clearly that there were cylindrical things hanging under those drones.

Could it be that they...

Chongxiao, who was about to use his sword energy to shoot down the drone, saw a scene that made his pupils shrink: several things hanging from the drones had already flown towards the mountain wall.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening sound was heard, and the ground beneath everyone's feet began to tremble. The airflow of the frost and snow explosion became more violent and chaotic... The worst thing was that Chongxiao could already see that cracks were appearing and spreading on the mountain in front of him.

"Don't just stand there, run! Go call the others!"

He shouted anxiously, "Evacuate everyone!"

Chapter 76 Avenger, Blood Blade

"What a damn weather..."

"Are you still going today?"

"Go, why not go?"

Viscount Kusk looked at Taras oddly, as if he had heard something incredible. "Will this get in the way?"

Manager Taras shrugged to show that he understood.

Soon, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles set off from Chernobyl.

When passing the landing checkpoint, they encountered a little trouble... It was said that the daughter of Marquis Rostov was kidnapped, so Chernobyl entered a state of emergency with a city-wide blockade.

Therefore, the military and police will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the convoy, including trucks loaded with drones and explosives.

What does the kidnapping of a nouveau riche’s daughter have to do with me?

After saying this with a rather disdainful attitude, Viscount Kusk dialed a mysterious number again.

Then, after just a few minutes, the convoy was allowed to pass...

This made Manager Taras flatter the Viscount once again, but the latter just sat there with his eyes closed and told the driver to drive steadily.

The vehicles in the convoy were all models designed specifically for the wilderness, so they were naturally much more powerful than the small truck that Chongxiao and Red had robbed, and they could travel much faster... Therefore, when they arrived at the mountainous area where the town of Yansk was located, it was still far from nightfall.

However, the sudden frost and snowstorm caused the entire town of Yansk and even the entire mountain to be shrouded in an icy white cold current, and visibility was very poor.

"Taras, is there going to be something wrong with your drone?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Viscount, the goods I got will work normally in the frozen land of the northwest, not to mention here."

Viscount Kusk nodded with satisfaction.

The convoy did not approach the town of Yansk, but stopped at a distance.

If you look closely, you will find that in addition to the drone operators and geological prospectors, there are a full twenty... mercenaries in the accompanying team.

In fact, Chongxiao and Reid made an extremely serious mistake, which was to underestimate the ruthlessness of Viscount Kusk.

Using drones and explosives to bombard mountains and cause them to collapse is only to enable large-scale mining of the mineral veins inside the mountains. It still requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the financial return will not be that quick.

But if the Originium contained in the mountain is dispersed into the air due to the violent explosion and forms Originium dust, then the residents of Yansk Town will surely not be able to escape the fate of becoming infected people... The patrol team will definitely be very happy to see this scene.

And Viscount Kursk was the chief executive of the patrol team.

At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his back, watching the operators hanging explosives on the drone with an alert look.

With the subsequent operations, Manager Taras' company will be able to obtain the mining rights to the rich mineral deposits in the mountain, and the patrol team will also be able to capture a large number of infected people, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

As for those fully armed mercenaries, they were brought here specifically to prevent the residents of Yansk Town from escaping.

"After today's business is over, Taras... we must go and have a good drink."

"Of course, your Excellency."

The two people who were in cahoots were full of confidence and had even begun to imagine the scenes of counting money and getting promoted in the future.

However, they will soon realize that "plans" are always ruthlessly attacked by "variables"...

……

"Evacuate everyone! Quickly!!!"

In a desperate situation, Chongxiao's roar seemed to be able to break through the clouds and spread throughout the small town of Yansk.

Those residents who were still quick-witted also reacted and began to call on those around them to escape together... The collapse of the mountain in the distance and the faint tremors under their feet proved that this valley might soon become history.

Since there are also small-scale rock falls and landslides on weekdays, Mayor Kamalov has actually organized simulated evacuation drills for the townspeople. However, this is completely different from the actual disaster, so there are undoubtedly only a few people who can react in time.

"Red, go organize the evacuation of the townspeople and take them out!"

"But those bastards..."

“Go. Evacuate. The. People!”

Chongxiao glared and grabbed Reid by the collar. The oppressive feeling emanating from him was like that of a legendary behemoth.

Obviously, even Red, who had fought with countless beasts, could not withstand such momentum.

He nodded quickly, then turned and ran away.

Next came Natalia... Like the other townspeople, she had never experienced a natural disaster head-on, and she stood there as if petrified, unable to move, watching the mountain about to collapse.

Of course Chongxiao couldn't just leave her alone.

"Listen to me, concentrate and calm down!"

Now he didn't care about the intimacy between men and women anymore. Chongxiao rushed over and grabbed the girl's shoulders. "Natalia, now is not the time to be stunned!"

"Ah...I...I..."

"Call everyone you see and run! Until you are out of the valley! Don't stop! You can do it!"

For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly surged in Natalia's heart.

This was certainly not the heart-pounding feeling that the heroine in a cheesy TV drama experiences when she is casually touched, but Natalia, who had hardly ever been scolded by anyone since she was a child, seemed to have realized one thing: it turned out that she, too, could be "trusted."

You know, Marquis Roskopf has only one daughter, and under his care and love, Natalia has never been able to do anything well with her own abilities, and naturally she has become a vase in the eyes of others.

And... going further and further on this road.
