Chapter 7 Riots
It happened so suddenly that the panic emotion passed quickly along the huge underground mall like a plague, and it was a mess in the blink of an eye. Customers from a certain direction were desperately crowded and fleeing like the most terrible demon in the world. Driven by survival instincts, all the etiquette of gentlemen and ladies was thrown out of the sky.
Holiday shopping malls are overcrowded, and exits in several directions are blocked for a while. All the lamps on the ceiling were at this terrible moment. At the same time, " cracked " extinguished, dragging the entire underground into boundless darkness. Darkness has always been a hotbed of fear. The environment of reaching out to the five fingers has also taken away everyone's sense of direction. Everyone is chaotic like a headless fly.
Everyone began to illuminate with the limited light of the mobile phone. The flow of people relied on the only light to start moving in the direction of several exits, but that did not restore order to this chaotic scene. If the hidden smoke pervades the air, people in a certain direction still escape to a unified direction, like turbulent water flow.
From time to time, a strange low roar came out of the direction of the crowd. It seemed that a brutal beast was killing in that direction. The voice sounded in the dark so that people could not help but be locked in a cage with dinosaurs. Illusion. Jay covered the Reynolds and quickly withdrew in the direction of the emergency passage. Suddenly he heard the wind in his ears, which was the sound of a high-speed object cutting the air at speed.
Jay raised his hand to catch it. It was actually a stainless steel pot lid, which quickly transformed under the squeeze of great power. Even Jay was slightly surprised by the great power he carried.
Although curious about the commotion caused by what is there, it is now more important to cover the safe evacuation of the Reynolds. Jay threw the stainless steel pot lid squeezed into a ball and led the two to shuttle through the crowd.
Mrs. Reynolds held her son's hand in the dark and asked uneasyly: " Jay, Jay, where are we going? "
" Emergency export. "Jay calmly replied that " is in front. "
The disturbances in the distance continued, and the messy rifts began to rampantly on the ceiling. The gravel and dust shed down like raindrops, covering a thick smoke screen in the dark. A glimpse of Jay's eyes glimpsed a little girl in the chaotic crowd who was ignored by adults. It looked like she was eight or nine years old and was sitting down in the crowd and sobbing in a low voice. The fast-spreading cracks climbed silently to the top of her head, the ceiling burst overwhelmingly, the broken pipes, and a large number of rubble wrapped around the wires fell to the top of her head.
There is almost no need to think about it, and Jay's physical instinct made a decision for him. He suddenly withdrew his hand from Mrs. Reynolds, leaving a sentence " waiting for me ", and his body was rolled out like a whirlwind. Mrs. Reynolds shouted his name in a panic, but she could not see the surrounding situation in the dark.
Jay turned into a residual shadow and flashed directly above the little girl, with her arms open to protect her, and used her back as an umbrella. The rubble tiles were smashed away from him, but he seemed unconscious.
The little girl stopped crying, stared at her black shadow protecting herself in front of her, and asked out loud: "Are you Superman? "
Jay stunned: " Uh, why do you think so? "
" Mommy said that Superman will come back when you need it. "
" I don't, I'm not Superman. "
At this time, the voice of a woman came out of the crowd coaxing behind, and it sounded panic and anxious: "Jessie!Where are you?Does anyone help?Has anyone seen my daughter Jesse? "
"Mommy!"The little girl stood up and shouted: " I am here! "
Jay followed his prestige and quickly locked the anxious mother from the crowd. He mentioned the little girl in one hand, and she was so stunned that she came to her mother.
"Mommy!"The girl yelled and pounced into her mother's arms. The young mother's eyes were red, and she hugged her daughter tightly, as if to never separate.
Jay receded silently into the darkness and quickly recovered the Reynolds. The two were still waiting in place, and they didn't ask anything when he came back, and continued to follow him.
Came to the gate of the emergency passage, Mr. Reynolds took the door handle and turned twice, annoyingly: " The door was locked. "
Jay stepped forward, twisted the entire lock, kicked the door open, and exposed the same dark emergency passage. As long as you go up the stairs in front of you, you can directly reach the exit on the ground.
But as the Reynolds left the mall, he hesitated. He subconsciously looked back at the panicked crowd in the dark underground mall. The situation in his mind could not help but flash the image of the helpless little girl just now, and the mother who was able to meet her again and wept with joy.
It doesn't matter whether there is a consciousness of being a hero, but sometimes the tragedy happens to happen to you, and you happen to have the ability to change it, so you just can't stay on the sidelines.
Noting that he was standing in place, Mrs. Reynolds asked: "What's wrong?"
Jay took a deep breath and said back: " Sorry, dad, mom.You go up first, I suddenly thought I still have something to do. I will catch up with you soon, I promise. "
After finishing talking, he left the two and turned back into a dark mall without turning back.
At the same time, outside the underground mall.
The police heard that the scene was rushed to the scene, and a cordon was pulled out of the entire underground mall. Police cars are parked at all exits, and a large number of police officers have blocked a nearby area, waiting for it.
Holchi is the detective in charge of this operation. He has been working in the Metropolitan Police Station for more than thirty years. He has personally experienced a series of weird events such as laboratory monster runaways and alien invasions, most of which have become He talked about newcomers to the police station.
The order given to him above was a bit strange. He only explained to him that there was an unexplained commotion in the underground mall here. Some civilians were trapped underground, but they only told him to take someone to block the entrance and press. motionless.
Holch asked what to do with the safety of the civilians, shouldn't they at least try to rescue them?The superior only vaguely said to him that the high-level institutions would send professionals who deal specifically with such incidents to come, and they just had to wait.
Holchi's second cigarette also burned to the end. He threw the cigarette butts underground, stepped on the soles, and looked at his watch impatiently. No matter who the professional mentioned above is, he is late. Holchi has begun to calculate that if no one appears after waiting for another three minutes, he will take his own person in.
He just came up with this idea, and the roaring motorcycle sound came into his ears. A dark purple modified motorcycle jumped like a spirited horse, and jumped from the roof of a police car. It fell to the ground side by side, and a gorgeous drift that was extremely beautiful stopped the body. The friction between the tire and the ground made a series of sharp noises, and the rider's black hair was flying in the wind.
The rider took off the helmet, shook a dark hair, and crossed the curve perfectly to the memorable long legs from the car. She wore a purple uniform with a navel, covered half of her face with a purple mask, and only showed a beautiful chin with a line. A pair of sky-blue eyes reveal sharp and clever essence from behind the mask, like a smart hunter.
Holchi was stunned. He didn't expect that the superior's " professional " would actually be a hot woman. He felt that it might be more normal to see her at the masquerade.
" Hard work, detective. "The woman stepped forward confidently and said coldly, " I will take over next. "
