Chapter 841: Condensing
At the same time, Xiang Huai was at the villa in the capital.
Ji Silin and Xiang Huai sat opposite each other.
Ji Silin was wearing a pair of golden-framed gla.s.ses and looked as gentle as ever. He was discussing the survival methods of some espers with Xiang Huai.
Ji Silin was complaining that the special department’s control over espers was too strict. “…Is it our own fault that we awakened our special abilities? Why is it that our lives are more difficult than those of ordinary people? It’s fine for ordinary people to say anything, but as for us, we have to be careful with our words and actions. General Xiang, do you really think the way we go about life right now is very reasonable?”
Xiang Huai’s fingers tapped on the table. He was in no hurry to answer Ji Silin’s question. Instead, he looked at his watch. By this time, the little kid should have settled the last person, right?
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes and was thinking when his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call and Jing Fei said something. Xiang Huai’s pupils constricted, and he suddenly looked up at Ji Silin.
Immediately, he replied, “Got it.”
After hanging up, Xiang Huai stood up. “Mr. Ji, I’ve always thought that the greatest danger is for you to personally appear. I didn’t expect you to use such a method.”
Ji Silin reached out and touched his gla.s.ses. “General Xiang, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Xiang Huai sneered. “Or should I call you Zi He?”
Ji Silin’s eyes flickered and he smiled.
Xiang Huai’s expression was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent. “You dared to come alone. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll detain you? Or are you certain that you can safely retreat?”
Ji Silin could not help but laugh. “The outside world is saying that General Xiang’s special power is the best in the world, but no one has seen it before. Because anyone who has seen your special power is either dead or staying at the International Esper Academy. Hence, some bold people speculate that you might not have any special power at all. Everything is just a pretense. But I’ve never thought so.”
Xiang Huai kept a straight face and had his hands in his pockets. He did not speak.
Ji Silin slowly lifted his head. “You’ve always been the strongest, but I’m confident that I can hold out for a few minutes. But would you be willing to waste these few minutes on me?”
Xiang Huai sneered.
He strode out. “I’ll spare your life today.”
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around. “You used a bet to attract the special department’s attention. Your real goal is to explode that nuclear material, right? You’re very smart. An explosion in the suburbs won’t attract too much attention, but the radiation caused by the explosion can reach tens of kilometers! Everyone in the capital will either die or retreat! This way, you’ll occupy the capital.
“Human planning is not bad, but nature trumps all. You used nature to defeat humans. What’s the difference between this method and what humans do? Is this what you mean by superhumans surpa.s.sing ordinary ones?”
He sneered and turned around again. In a flash, he had already appeared a few meters away. His speed was so fast that it made people stunned.
Ji Silin, who was left behind, slowly clenched his fists when he heard Xiang Huai’s words.
His smugness from the success of his scheme slowly disappeared before it could spread on his face.
Xiang Huai’s words made him fall into deep thought.
Superhumans had always felt that they were the masters of the world, so destroying things was also their way of intimidating humans. Was using a nuclear explosion really correct?
This scheme was set down by Vulture a few years ago.
Right now, Ji Silin was just following orders.
…
Xue Xi and Jing Fei were the first to fly to the reservoir.
At this moment, the rescue headquarters had just called and asked the rescue personnel to retreat. All the people carrying water hoses walked back in confusion.
Someone even said, “What’s going on? Didn’t a fire happen here? It looks like the fire at the scene isn’t too big. Why don’t they want us to put it out?”
Another person shook his head. “I don’t know, but I just took a look. There are a few black stones inside. I don’t know what’s going on.”
These people did not notice that fine dust was slowly spreading in the air. The trees in the winter had shed their leaves, but the bare branches seemed to be being blown by an invisible wind.
All humans breathe.
The omnipresent radiation seeped into their bodies through the protective suits that were not specifically designed to block radiation.
Xue Xi and Jing Fei looked at each other and flew into the air.
The fire happened in a warehouse. The fire was almost extinguished, and only black smoke was being emitted. The smoke lingered and formed a mushroom cloud in the sky.
Jing Fei’s voice was trembling. “Sister Xi, what… what’s the current situation?”
Nuclear radiation was more frightening than an explosion.
Xue Xi took a deep breath. “This place is releasing a large amount of radiation particles every second. In about an hour, the particles will have spread to every corner of the capital. There are millions of people in the capital. Even if the organization retreats now, it’s too late. Our only solution now is to bury this radiation pile within half an hour! This will minimize the harm to humans!”
Jing Fei stared down. “Half an hour. Currently, there are only 200 espers in the capital. If everyone fully utilizes their special abilities, it might be possible!”
Burying the nuclear radiation reactor required a large amount of concrete and chemical isolation materials. It would take time to transport them to bury the place.
Xue Xi clenched her fists. “However, espers are also humans. They will also be affected by the radiation. Ordinary people will burn and die in five or ten minutes from the radiation here. Espers can only stay for half an hour at most.”
Unfortunately, Jing Fei did not take her explanation to heart.
At this moment, the other espers arrived one after another.
Not far from the reservoir, a small team of twenty people quickly gathered.
Jing Fei immediately ordered, “Everyone, prepare to bury the nuclear reactor!”
“Yes!”
Seeing that these people were not going to turn back, Xue Xi could not help but point at the spot where the smoke was coming from. “If you want to bury them, you have to go to this place. However, the radiation here is too strong. If an ordinary person stays there for 30 seconds, they will die. If an esper works there for a minute, they will lose half their lifespan!”
Jing Fei turned around and put on the anti-radiation suit that had been sent over urgently. “Did you hear that? Everyone can only stay inside for a minute!”
After saying this, he rushed in.
The rest of the esper teams, even those who had mocked Xue Xi in the special department, as well as those who had been lured by the man in black to have a misunderstanding about Gao Yanchen with just a few words…
At this moment, after hearing Xue Xi’s words, these people did not hesitate at all. They followed closely behind Jing Fei and rushed in without any hesitation!
It was as though losing half of their lifespan was nothing to them.
After they entered, the second wave of espers arrived.
At this moment, the entire capital was mobilized.
The special police and the special forces arrived around the reservoir at the fastest speed possible.
Xue Xi stood there and looked at the police and soldiers who had gathered around her in just ten minutes. For some unknown reason, she felt her blood boiling.
