"What's going on?
Did he find a way to defy the "order"? "
Lin Sanjiu ordered in a low voice, "Send him away!"
The short man who reported the situation just now had his eyes wide open, looking back and forth between his superior and the strange woman. Before he could figure out what was going on, Li Wensu Jiang turned to him and said, "Go and get all the squad leaders to regroup their men. Also, get twenty percent of your men to lock all the exits. Also, get the rest of your men to come here!"
His tone was urgent, as if he was grasping at the last chance to fulfill his duty.
Lin Sanjiu stepped forward and stared at him. "Knock the person on your right to the ground," Shorty answered hastily and stumbled toward the group of people who were stumbling not far away. Lin Sanjiu took a step forward and stared at him. "Knock the person on your right down."
If Levi Wensu was just going with the flow to complete his previous "order", then this time, Lin Sanjiu clearly saw a flash of resistance on Levi Wensu's face. While he was struggling, he suddenly raised his right hand. His arm suddenly lit up from under his sleeve, and a few streaks of white light shot out like lightning, cutting through the air and sending a member of the Munitions Factory who was caught off guard flying several meters away.
"Sir!" someone shouted from afar, "What … What are you doing?"
Levi Wensu shot a quick glance at Lin Sanjiu, but the latter took half a step back. She crossed her arms and said in a low voice, "Explain yourself."
She had already confirmed that the "order" was still in effect.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and shouted, "I told you to get back to your positions! Have you never seen a fire before? If you run around again, you will be the next one! "
The two members of the Munitions Factory were obviously startled by Levi Wensu's anger. They quickly helped the person on the ground up and disappeared into the crowd. However, even with the commander's order, the crowd was still in a state of panic. Half of the sky was dark, and the other half was fiery red. Even the ground was tilted and out of balance by the light and heat emitted by the slender tower.
Lin Sanjiu jerked her head up and realized that it was not the ground that had lost its balance.
"Follow me!" She shouted angrily and grabbed Li Wensu Jiang's sleeve. "Run!"
At the same time, the members of the Munitions Factory who were surrounding the Commander's Tower also reacted to the situation. Screams, footsteps, and shouts of pushing and shoving could be heard from the chaotic crowd. In that instant, Lin Sanjiu could only remember countless scenes of chaos flashing before her eyes. Then, she heard a deafening boom that engulfed the entire world.
After a long while, she finally opened her eyes again. Apart from the buzzing in her ears, the world was only left with a deathly stillness. Her vision was blurred as if it was separated by water. She blinked hard and turned her head behind her.
The Commander's Tower had been shortened by half. Its slender, burning upper half was standing crookedly on the ground, but its lower half had disappeared. It had smashed the bricks on the ground and dug deep into the ground. Countless people were lying on the ground like corpses. It was only when the dazzling sparks rained down that those dying people suddenly twisted and struggled, turning into countless black shadows in the scorching white flames.
Lin Sanjiu snapped out of her daze. She looked around and patted the shoulder of the person beside her.
"Li Wensu Jiang!" Lin Sanjiu felt that she was shouting. Her ears were numb, and her voice sounded far away. "Open your eyes! Are you okay? "
The black-haired man suddenly opened his mouth as if he was gasping for air. Then, he slowly got up from the ground. He only had the time to look back at his subordinates before Lin Sanjiu dragged him to his feet. Lin Sanjiu dragged him to his feet and ran into the distance. "Follow me! They can't be saved! "
"Wait, wait," Li Wensu Jiang followed obediently, but his voice was filled with reluctance, "The control panel … The control panel …"
"What?" Lin Sanjiu only turned her head to look at him for a moment before she averted her eyes, as if she had been burned by the inferno behind her. She was grateful that her ears had been deafened. She didn't want to imagine what the people behind her were screaming at the sky as they were engulfed in flames.
Most of the buildings in the Munitions Factory were made of steel, so the fire would not spread. For those who were unfortunate enough to stay in the buildings that had their exits blocked by fire, they would be roasted to death instead of being burned to death.
"The ground under the Commander's Tower."
To Lin Sanjiu, his voice sounded even further away. Both of their ears were numb, so they had to raise their voices and shout at each other, "The control panel is over there!"
"So what?"
The Commander's Tower had fallen from the sky at a slanted angle, and a large area of the ground was hit by it. The control panel might have been smashed into pieces along with the floor tiles.
"That place isn't on fire!" Li Wensu Jiang yelled as he rubbed his ears. "You have to open the control panel before you can enter the tower … I want to go in too. I want to see who is in the tower!"
Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly and turned around to stare into his eyes.
She had to try again, even though she couldn't understand the result of her previous attempt.
"Bring me to Luther," Lin Sanjiu Jiang ordered. Fortunately, the time limit of her ability was not up yet, so she could still order him, "After we find Luther, you can do whatever you want."
Li Wensu Jiang stared at her. The flames behind him distorted his silhouette as if it could ripple.
All of her orders could work, except for this one.
While Lin Sanjiu was still in a state of shock and confusion, Li Wensu Jiang seized the opportunity to turn around and run.
"Come back!" Even though Lin Sanjiu had ordered him to run, he wasn't slow either. In the blink of an eye, he had already run a few steps away. Amidst the crackling flames, roars, and screams, his muffled ears probably didn't catch Lin Sanjiu's' order '.
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment before she activated her [Defense Forcefield] and followed him.
The closer they got to the Commander's Tower, the hotter the air became. Even though Li Wensu Jiang had a head start, it was obvious that every step he took was harder than the last. Lin Sanjiu had the [High Temperature Adaptation] ability, so it didn't take her long to catch up to Li Wensu Jiang in a pile of rubble.
"Hold it right there!" Lin Sanjiu shouted. She didn't dare to rush forward recklessly. Li Wensu Jiang didn't seem to hear her. He scanned the rubble with beads of sweat on his face. It seemed like he was still trying to find the control panel among the rubble.
