Chapter 42 The Hunting Horn (2)
Didi!
The access card swiped open the studio door.
In fact, except for saving someone on the way, Lu Li didn't waste any time at all.
At this moment, two astronomy experts were sitting in the studio, giving popular science knowledge to citizens: how to watch the total solar eclipse correctly.
"...Here, we recommend that all citizens buy Bader film and do not watch it with naked eyes..."
Before he finished speaking, the audience standing by the TV heard noise, as if someone had broken into the studio.
Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared on the TV screen. The host and the invited experts were pushed to the ground, and bursts of howling came from their mouths.
Unfortunately, the intruder didn't give them a chance to resist and locked them up with handcuffs.
The whole process took no more than ten seconds, so many citizens did not react and just stared at the TV blankly.
That's a strange combination.
The two young Asians, with serious expressions and capable movements, controlled the experts and the host in just one meeting. What was even weirder was the old man with a white beard next to him. He was holding an antique cane in his hand. It had a metallic and historical feel.
Knowledge is valuable.
At this time, Duke held the chain with one hand, raised the pistol with the other hand, pointed the muzzle at the staff carrying the camera, and threatened: "Don't shake your hands, everyone continues to work!"
Peaked cap, sunglasses.
This outfit perfectly explains what an international gangster is.
The photographer immediately gave up the idea of escape and continued to carry the equipment and stick to his post.
"Let's get down to business first."
Duke put down his pistol and nodded towards Lu Li.
"Ahem... Anyone who saw the emergency news not long ago should know who I am."
In fact, this was the first time Lu Li had given a televised speech. He was not nervous at all, but he did have little experience. He was sitting on the sofa where the expert was sitting, with his legs crossed, and he said concisely:
"As for those crimes, I don't admit it at all, unless this kind of creature is considered a human being."
After saying this, Duke pulled the chain, and an armless soul-returning corpse walked in, dangling.
He was bald, his complexion was pale, and his wounds oozed thick white blood.
With this venerable appearance, you can tell at a glance that it is not human.
At this time, Lu Li changed the subject and said with a serious face: "From now on, pay more attention to the movements in New York City and find a way to come and join us."
Not only the audience, but also Leah who was hiding outside the studio had no idea what he was talking about.
Unfortunately, Lu Li did not give any explanation for this and gave Duke his place to conduct an on-site autopsy.
"As a good citizen committed to saving the world, I am issuing an emergency announcement to you that a deadly infectious disease is currently spreading in New York City, and those infected will suffer from severe hair loss."
Having said this, Duke rubbed the head of the soul-returning corpse, and the few remaining hairs fell off instantly.
Then, Duke added: "He will also attack close relatives and passers-by, and suck blood from the carotid artery."
On the side, Lu Li urged: "Time is running out, let's pick out the key points."
He estimated that in two minutes at most, the signal from the studio would be cut off. At that time, he would have to rush to the next destination——
Shixin Group Headquarters.
Hearing this, Duke reorganized his words and said quickly to the camera:
"This creature is definitely not human. Once transformed, it cannot be saved."
"They attack via a weird growth on their throat, delivering an infectious worm that transforms others!"
The next moment, Lu Li, who couldn't wait anymore, stretched out his hand, jammed the throat of the soul-returning corpse, and pulled hard.
From the throat to the chest, the two-meter long tongue was uprooted and appeared in front of everyone.
Out of professional habit, the photographer gave a close-up, which caused a large number of spectators who were eating to lose their appetite in an instant.
"One final reminder, once the person you love is transformed, please do not get close to it and use sunlight or silver immediately..."
Duke made the most important conclusion. Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the studio became dark and the staff took the opportunity to rush out.
Lu Li did not stop them and whispered to Duke: "Let's go, the power and signal have been cut off."
"Remember to destroy the body."
The old man who had been watching until now finally spoke.
However, after he finished speaking, he leaned on his sword and walked towards the stairs first, because he was likely to be trapped if he took the elevator.
Almost at the same time, Duke took out a small square iron pot from his pocket and sprinkled the gasoline inside next to the body.
After a while, the flames burst out.
Sirens rang through the headquarters building of ABC Broadcasting Company, and nearby law enforcement agencies quickly gathered and converged here.
However, they were destined to fail.
One o'clock.
Lu Li's old acquaintance, the Mexican driver who took the Blood Ancestor across the river, showed up and kidnapped a gang leader.
"I want to know why so many people come to me recently."
In the car, the kidnapped black man smiled helplessly, showing a mouth full of gold teeth.
Prior to this, a spokesman for the Stone Heart Group hired him to transport several carriages out of New York.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.
A Mexican gangster kidnapped him.
"I need guns, money, and ammunition, and you can provide them."
The black man held the steering wheel with helplessness on his face and said, "You don't even understand me."
"I know you very well!"
Gus loaded the pistol.
"Okay, a problem arises."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he could only choose to show off his cards, and his words contained threats: "I have many friends, and they respect me very much. Once you commit a robbery, these people will..."
Gus interrupted and pointed out the window, "Look over there, man."
"People eat people."
"A plague breaks out in this city. It turns people into bloodthirsty monsters, and the order is about to collapse. Who will help you?"
Ever since his mother turned into a resurrected corpse, Gus has been wandering the streets, looking for a place to stay.
As the situation became increasingly chaotic, he was short of weapons and decided to get a batch of weapons, and the black gangster in front of him was the best target.
As for why we got weapons.
Of course it's revenge.
It's all the fault of that thing in the coffin!
In fact, Gus wanted to kill himself because he personally released the disaster and killed his mother.
"Okay, get the gun and leave."
"You can't touch either the money or the goods."
After some weighing, the black leader decided to give in temporarily and give Gus a batch of arms.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of hooded people appeared in sight, blocking the road directly in front of them.
Although these people did not speak, the submachine guns in their hands showed their intentions.
The black leader was stunned for a few seconds, stepped on the brakes, turned around and asked: "What the hell, who did you provoke?!"
"..."
Gus didn't answer, threw the pistol on the seat, then opened the door and walked out.
Chapter completed!
