Chapter 1239: 1239
The 'Smelly Toruk Particles' were disgusting in both appearance and smell, but Zi was actually quite indifferent to them . This probably had something to do with the fact that one of her favourite types of coffee was made by grinding undigested coffee beans picked from the excrement of wild civets, which was a somewhat similar process .
Sheyan meticulously inquired about the whole process of Freddy's murder as observed by Old Charlie, down to the last detail . He found that this attack method was perfect to ambush someone . It truly was sinister and vicious to the extreme, a typical example of winning without shedding a drop of blood .
But according to Old Charlie, after Freddy had killed the contestant, he instantly claimed that he must take some time to immerse himself in the pleasure of this unprecedented way of killing someone, and dove into the depths of Old Charlie's consciousness . The whole process had probably exhausted a great deal of his energy .
From the information Freddy got from this guy named Gullis, the military had an alternative plan to transport the Galaxy System through the air by using an Aérospatiale SA 321 Super Frelon helicopter . The theory behind it was to make use of the huge commotion made by the large convoy on the ground to attract the focus of the enemies, thus making the aerial route safer . Of the two other members of Gullis' party, one of them must be preparing to intercept the helicopter right now, while the other should be gathering more intelligence in case there was another transportation route .
Human could not fly without the help of machines, so if the person wished to intercept the helicopter, he would surely have to lie in wait at a high terrain not far from the landing spot .
Therefore, even without knowing the specific location, Party Ace still easily managed to narrow down the possible hiding spot of the enemy to three places around Heping Town from the map . No matter where the helicopter came from, it would be within the shooting range of these three high grounds .
On the way to Heping Town, Sanzi turned on the LCD TV inside the car they had hijacked . A news story caught Sheyan's attention .
"Incidents of social unrest, including looting and burning, have occurred in various areas around the world due to widespread rumors of the 2012 apocalypse based on Mayan predictions . A large-scale terrorist attack had taken place in Detroit, the famous automobile city in the United States . An explosion had occurred in a high-rise building, causing its collapse . Heavy casualties have been reported, but we are yet able to confirm the actual numbers . Many on scene have claimed to witness supernatural incidents which cannot be explained with science . Please stay tuned to our follow-up reports for further details . "
"Detroit?" The mention of the city immediately drawn the attention of Sheyan . After all, that was where they had obtained the powerful Lieutenant General Blood Sword: Evil Sword Apophis . Unfortunately, the news did not provide any images, but there was a laptop in the car they stole, so they instantly browsed the internet for more information .
This incident was obviously big news in the States, so many details had been posted in various online forums . Sheyan found a picture which showed the building before and after it collapsed . Sheyan recognised the collapsed building at first glance -- it was a building from the place where they killed the Divine Servant . A horrifying hemispherical hole was clearly visible a bit towards the bottom from the middle of the building . Even with the naked eye, they could tell that it burrowed into the building at least 20 meters deep, and had around the same radius .
Broken steel bars, wood and other materials which made up the interior of the building scattered like horrible broken guts in the corroded hole . From the picture, they could almost feel the dust of the rubble billowing in the wind!
According to physics, the building should have collapsed in the direction where the hole was made, but strangely, it fell the opposite way! It fell on its back, so the huge wound in its abdomen was still visible after it collapsed . This showed that when the unknown and mysterious power eroded into the building, it also carried with it a great force which pushed the building backwards, causing its collapse .
The comments below the picture were filled with remarks of astonishment:
"Oh my God, this building hasn't been built for more than five years! How did the steel frame inside corrode like it had been submerged in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for a hundred years? This must be the result of a corruption in the construction!"
"I think you're full of sh*t . "
"As someone in Detroit, I'm so glad I went to the KFC there last week and not on the day the building collapsed!"
"Life sure is unpredictable . I remember the last time I went to Detroit, I bought some clothes from the Versace store there . "
"Okay, enough with the humble-bragging . "
"Looks like shoddy constructions are present everywhere in the world . "
