Huaxia 1976 Bingshen Year, Lunar Calendar, June 7, Gengzi Summer
"... Next, we'll be reporting the weather forecast for Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. At six o'clock this morning, the Central Meteorology Station issued an orange typhoon warning. Typhoon 'Dragon King' will land in Canghai City at 16:20 p.m. and leave the coastal area the night after tomorrow. During this period, it will bring a torrential rain of 210 to 260 millimeters..."
With a light click, the young man in the room turned off the TV, changed into his dark blue work clothes, and walked out of the apartment.
Looking at the sunny sky above, it was hard to imagine that there would be a storm.
"The typhoons in the past few years have come quite late. Although I'm off today, those guys don't make me worry at all.”The young man mumbled.
In such a hot summer, even an office worker who was sitting in an air-conditioned office would find it difficult to have the motivation to work. However, the young man's eyes revealed a fortitude and maturity that no one his age had.
The young man worked at a power supply plant in the city. The salary here was proportional to the intensity of the work. For a small figure at the bottom of society like him, working more and eating more was the most appropriate golden rule.
After all, he was alone and had no family background. He could already thank the heavens that he could find such a decent job with a worthless high school diploma.
One had to know that the current China was a country where academics and background were paramount. Only with a sufficiently valuable diploma or a strong family background could one have a foothold in society.
In the face of such a cruel reality, the young man who lived an ordinary life like an ordinary person did not blame himself, nor did he lament the injustice of fate, nor did he envy those who had extraordinary success because of good luck.
Ordinary people had their own ways of living, and extraordinary people had their own ways of living. Just like fish living in a fish tank and fish living in a pond, each had their own ways of living, and no one should laugh at the other.
The people on the road were in a hurry, sweating profusely but constantly complaining about the hot weather. They seemed to be no different from usual.
The young man couldn't help but smile. He still liked this kind of compact but orderly life.
As soon as he stepped into the power supply plant, he was greeted by three " mountains ", or rather, muscular mountains. They were muscular and had an average height of more than two meters. Three strong men who were as strong as Russian brown bears stood in front of the young man.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have been paralyzed with fear. However, the young man greeted him with a smile,"Tricolor, you guys haven't gotten off work yet?”
"Oh, Billy! Isn't this our factory's most, most, most adorable factory grass, Xiao Li! Aren't you on vacation? Why are you here?”
The English name of the brawny man who spoke was Williams Billy. He was American, with a square face and a slight beard. He looked handsome and sunny. Although his Chinese was fluent, he always spoke in a strange accent. It was unknown if it was intentional or if he could not change it.
At this moment, a muscular Asian man with a buzz cut beside Billy also said in a similar tone,"Is there a need to ask? She must have stayed at home all day and missed us."
“nonono!”A strong African man retorted," If you ask me, Xiao Li must be here to confess to one of us. Because only the passionate love between the same sex can surpass those trashy transactions between the opposite sex!”
The three burly men in front of him came from different countries. After they came to China, they became brothers because of fate, so they gave themselves Chinese names. They were Zhao Gang, Wu Ci Lang, and Jin Bang Qiang. Because these three people had always been inseparable, and their Chinese names were very forbidden, the young man who found it troublesome directly called the three of them Sanse.
"Stop fooling around with me. I was worried about the facilities in the factory, so I specially came back to take a look.”The young man smiled helplessly at the way the factory grass addressed him. He then asked,"Zhao Gang, the typhoon is coming this afternoon. Has the main gate been closed?”
"Gojiro, did you remember to put down the disaster isolation net in the control room?”
"Jin Bangqiang, has the backup battery in the Xicheng District been activated…"
"Oh, dear Xiao Li, you really came because you miss us.”
"You forgot again…"
Looking at the eager expressions of the three people who did not answer the question, the young man held his forehead and looked as if he had expected it.
Helpless, the youngster could only reconfirm the work flow of the three people one by one.
It took nearly two hours to make up for all the mistakes.
Normally, even if he didn't do this, there wouldn't be any big problems. However, the young man was a rigorous person with a slight (suspected) obsessive-compulsive disorder and a slight (suspected) perfectionist. Therefore, he couldn't allow any mistakes. Moreover, this was related to the daily electricity consumption of half of the residents in the west of the city. He couldn't be careless.
Suddenly, a weak voice called out from a corner,""Xiao, Xiao Li, come over here for a moment.”
The young man turned around and saw the chief engineer waving at him from behind the door. He walked over and asked in confusion,"Chief Engineer Wang, why are you hiding here?”
"Sigh, the teams from the other departments have all gone on holiday early, and you're not here. There's only me and Tricolor left in this huge factory. As the saying goes, in a hot summer, there's only one person. The moon is dark and the wind is high. Sob…"
Chief Engineer Wang had a long face as he leaned on the young man like a spoiled child. The corner of the young man's mouth twitched slightly as he stretched out his right hand.
"Xiao Li, you know me the best! I love you ~~"
Seeing this, Chief Engineer Wang was overjoyed. He slammed a bunch of keys into the young man's hand."Then I'll leave everything to you. I'll go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Engineer Wang disappeared in the blink of an eye with a gust of wind on his feet. This movement technique did not look like a person who was almost fifty years old!
"Then, Xiao Li, let's get off work first.”When it was almost four o'clock, Tricolor left after saying goodbye to the young man.
The rest of the inspection work was almost done. He just needed to go to the control room to confirm the switch again, then switch the main power source to the backup power source, and finally seal the entire power supply plant...
The storm came as expected, and there was no one on the road anymore. There was only trash that was swept up by the typhoon and a flood that rose to the knees.
The young man turned off the power supply plant. At this moment, night had already fallen, and the wind was howling. Even if he was wearing a wide dark raincoat, he seemed so thin in front of the cold Wind God.
Deafening thunder resounded in the sky, and lightning snake-like lightning kept tearing at Heaven Duke's eyes that were about to close.
He crawled forward step by step. Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the corner of the street in front of him, almost bumping into the youth.
However, the figure reacted very quickly and disappeared in front of the young man in the blink of an eye. However, in the next moment, the young man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Blood splashed out and instantly dyed his clothes red.
He was chopped! Only then did the young man react and fall to the ground. He looked out of the corner of his eye and saw a person wrapped tightly in a windbreaker carrying a one-meter-long burlap sack on his waist. He quickly ran in the direction behind the young man.
The young man who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead only slowly sat up after a long time. Only then did he realize that the person had not deliberately attacked him.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep. The young man held his chest to ease the pain. Suddenly, dense footsteps and noisy shouts came from the corner of the street.
In a short while, hundreds of black-clothed men holding all kinds of weapons rushed at him aggressively. The young man was about to get up and escape, but he was helped up by someone. He handed over a metal object, and the young man took it. He looked down and saw that it was a one-meter-long steel knife!
What the f * ck?
The burly man who helped him up asked with concern,"Brother, are you alright? Can we continue chasing?"
" Uh..." The young man who was still in a confused state was speechless for a long time.
"Very good, let's go. Kill that witch!”The burly man roared and ran forward without looking back.
The young man was pushed and pulled by the crowd to an empty place.
Unknowingly, the men in black had surrounded the mysterious man in the windbreaker.
The young man, who was brought to the scene for no reason, stood rooted to the ground as if his brain had crashed. He was still holding the steel knife in his hand.
A vendetta in the martial world? Gang war? Unknowingly, he had been involved in a bizarre and dangerous incident. Although the young man was secretly complaining, his expression was exceptionally calm, as if he had long been accustomed to it.
Just as the black-robed burly men swarmed forward, the young man slowly retreated, and the slaughter began!
This was a one-sided bloody massacre. A mysterious woman covered in a windbreaker danced in the crowd, accompanied by a flower of blood that bloomed in the rain.
It was hard to imagine that a person who was carrying a heavy object could have such a strong and agile movement.
The muscular men in black were like wheat straws in the fields, falling one after another. They were like dandelions dancing in the sky in the mountains. Some of the muscular men with guns were also helpless against the mysterious woman's amazing body movements. Instead, they accidentally injured many of their own people.
The young man quietly left this troublesome place without anyone noticing. His intuition told him that he must not have any relationship with anyone here, or his stable life would be destroyed!
However, just as he had expected, as soon as he escaped from the center of the Asura Killing Field, he heard a wave of orderly footsteps and shouts not far away.
The number of people was several times more than the group of people just now. The young man was anxiously spinning around on the spot. If they found out, who knew what would happen! Suddenly, he looked up at a newly built sewage treatment plant beside him.
The teenager, who had nowhere to go, jumped over the guardrail and jumped in. Fortunately, there were no security guards on duty during the typhoon. The entire sewage treatment plant could be said to be empty. The teenager used the master key that he carried with him to open the iron gate of the factory stairs and went straight to the second floor. He could see the situation on the street through the window.
As expected, a large group of people rushed towards the empty space aggressively. Compared to the first batch, this batch was clearly the true main force. Whether it was their combat quality or weapons, they were far superior to the previous batch.
Rumble ~ Rumble ~
Explosions came from the direction of the open space. The young man closed the iron door and hid in the corridor of the factory. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. Who were these people? Why did they have so many firearms and even heavy firearms? After all, this was China, one of the few countries in the world that banned guns.
Not only did these mysterious people avoid the supervision of the national government, but they also used the typhoon weather to launch such a large-scale gang fight. Perhaps this could no longer be called a gang fight...
The young man had seen many grand armed melee fights, but this was the first time he had seen real guns and live ammunition being used!
After an unknown period of time, the sounds of fighting in the open space gradually thinned. The young man opened the iron door and looked around. He hesitated whether he should go out now, but he was afraid of meeting those people.
Forget it, just to be careful, he should wait a little longer. As the young man was thinking about this, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of him, scaring the young man into running away.
She saw a person covered in blood lying at the entrance of the stairs. Blood gathered under her like a small lake. Rainwater mixed with blood flowed down the stairs, and there was a plastic bag as tall as a person beside her.
The young man could not help but hold his breath. He had no way out. Behind him was the sewage pool. If he fell in, he would either drown or suffocate to death. The person on the ground did not make a sound as if he was dead. Seeing this, the young man gradually calmed down. However, when he was about to leave, he was shocked by the human-shaped plastic bag beside the mysterious person!
A human face was revealed at the opening of the bag. It was a face full of scars and festering pus. There were six or seven terrifying wounds dripping with pus and blood. The swollen chin and cheeks could no longer be seen. It could only be vaguely judged that it was a young girl from her figure.
"Who is it? What kind of hatred was there? How could he do such a vicious thing to a young girl?”The young man's heart was filled with anger and confusion.
At this moment, the girl's light cough caught the young man's attention. She was actually still alive!
At this moment, he could only pretend that he did not see anything and leave. After all, he knew very well what it meant for him to be involved in this!
The young man turned around and wanted to leave first, but the girl's miserable face was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"How many people can really turn a deaf ear to such a thing? " Sigh…" The young man shook his head as he recalled the various ways of life in society. As a weak person, it was probably the wisest choice to protect himself in such a situation.
After all, weaklings were weaklings. Without the courage and determination to become a hero, they could only be powerless in the face of despair. This was the fundamental reason why weaklings needed heroes...
"What a pity. In this era, heroism has lost its meaning. I am the most important. What does the life and death of others have to do with me?”The young man spread his hands and said to the little girl," Little girl, I hope that a hero will descend from the sky to save you. Take care…"
Seemingly having made up his mind, the young man carried the steel knife and walked out. Suddenly, a light cough made the young man involuntarily turn around to look. Looking at the young girl's tender face, the young man held his breath slightly. His eyes were trembling violently. He was struggling, he was hesitating!
At this moment, a question appeared in the young man's mind. If I were to lie on the ground like her one day, would I resent the person who left me in the lurch?
"Ha, he definitely will. Moreover, he will curse his ancestors and curse him to die a horrible death.”Li Dong sighed and walked back. He squatted on the ground and stared at the girl's face in a daze for a few more minutes. In the end, he angrily rubbed his hair and cursed fiercely. No one knew who he was cursing at. He grabbed the sack and cut it open with a steel knife along the edge, pulling the girl out of the bag.
"Little girl, since my blood hasn't really cooled down, then I'll risk my life for you and be a hero for once!”The young man gently stroked the girl's soft hair, his eyes revealing a determination that he had never seen before.
"From now on, I'm your family. I…will protect you.”The young man put his raincoat on the girl's body, carrying her on his back and shouldering her life…
However, no one knew that not long after the young man left with the girl on his back, the woman in the windbreaker who was originally lying on the ground suddenly stood up. She said in a delicate and charming voice,"Destiny is destined to be unavoidable. You can slowly struggle, hehe ~~"
After saying that, he turned into black smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Li Dong, who was carrying the girl out of the sewage plant, carefully looked around. Fortunately, he did not see any assassins.
It was still raining heavily on the street, and the situation of the girl behind him was not looking good. Her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, as if she would stop at any moment.
An ordinary hospital would probably be unable to save him from such an injury. It seemed that he could only look for him! Although he really didn't want to have anything to do with that person, that person might be the only one who could save her now. Thinking of this, Li Dong quickened his pace and ran in the direction of the western suburbs.
"Look! He's there!" A shout came from behind Li Dong.
They didn't dare to stay or even look back. They could only try to walk on remote roads. Those people had guns and appeared on the open streets. Even with the rain as cover, they were equivalent to live targets.
He hid in the ancient three alleys and seven alleys, only to find that there were also assassins lying in ambush here.
Faced with the countless men in black who were chasing after him, the young man could only helplessly change directions and escape.
Suddenly, when he turned a corner, he bumped into two burly men with sabers. He saw that he could not avoid them!
At this moment, the thin man closest to him raised his saber and slashed at Li Dong without saying a word.
Almost at the same time, Li Dong twisted his body and tried his best to retreat. However, his movements were still half a beat too slow. The blade that flashed with a cold light cut the youth's face with the sound of the wind and rain. A long bloody wound was drawn diagonally from the left eyebrow to the right cheek.
The young man cried out in pain, but his hands grabbed the girl on his back tightly and refused to let go. Blood filled his eyes, and he felt that his vision was red. Under the fear of death, the young man kicked out as fast as lightning and stabbed into the thin man's abdomen like a spear. His entire body arched like a shrimp, and blood and some of the filth in his stomach spurted out from his mouth.
The sudden intense pain caused the young man to instantly lose control of his strength. With just one kick, the thin man fell to the ground and died.
At this moment, the thin man's companions rushed over to rescue him. Li Dong could not see his surroundings clearly, so he could only free his right hand and raise his steel knife to slash at the place where the sound came from.
Faced with the menacing blade, the man hurriedly raised his steel blade to block it. With a loud bang, the terrifying force shook his thumb and forefinger numb, and he almost lost his grip on the steel blade. Li Dong gradually increased his strength and actually pressed a man as strong as an ox to half kneel on the ground. Then, the youth followed up with a kick that sent him flying. However, the strength of this slash and kick was clearly reduced by more than half compared to the previous one.
Seeing the pursuers approaching, Li Dong didn't dare to continue fighting and left the two of them to flee.
"Cough cough cough…F * ck, what did this kid eat to grow up? His strength is so abnormal!”Blood seeped out from the corner of the burly man's mouth. He was helped up by his own brother, and he could not recover for a long time. The thin man was obviously not so lucky, and he had long stopped breathing...
The killers finally witnessed the young man's strength, but they were not afraid. On the contrary, they were a little excited. After all, all of them were fugitives. Each of them had at least four or five lives on their shoulders. They did not care about the lives of others, so they naturally did not care about their own lives unless they were really dying.
Thus, the killers split into two groups. One group chased the youth from behind while the other took a detour, intending to intercept the youth before he left the city…
