Outside the window, the wind from the York Inland Sea was rolling like a heatwave. The guards standing outside were sweating profusely, wishing they could take off all their clothes.
The heat of summer in White Arrow Harbor was no joke. If one didn't take protective measures and stood under the scorching sun, one would faint from the heat soon.
In the courtyard of the garrison, there were men standing in twos and threes, but they didn't seem to feel the heat at all. They were vigilantly looking around the situation.
These were the bodyguards sent by the Mu family. Ever since the murder at the harbor that night, a team of bodyguards had been following Mu Shuangye.
Each of them was at least Stage 7 Psychic Force. They were proficient in firearms and close-range combat. Their strength was almost on par with the strength of the Elite garrison.
"Strange … Why do I feel a little uneasy …" Hayashi River murmured.
"Hayashi River, you …"
Mu Shuangye couldn't help but feel angry. This young man's strength was obviously not ordinary. Even if he couldn't compare to Meron in actual combat, his pistol skills were still enough to make people afraid.
Why did he look so frightened? Why did he always feel that there were scourges and ferocious beasts outside, and that he would be in trouble if he went out …
"This is the garrison. Even if all the thugs in White Arrow Harbor rushed here, they wouldn't be able to reach the entrance of the garrison."
Mu Shuangye bit her lip and stared at Hayashi River. She pointed at the tall tower in the garrison and the heavy machine guns on the wall. Those were all one-star Heart Elemental Equipment.
It was said that every building in the garrison was also equipped with two-star sniper cannons. In case of emergency, they could even shoot down small airships.
With such defensive equipment, even if a foreign race army attacked, they would have to rely on human wave tactics and human lives to fill in the gap, let alone a group of vicious thugs.
This was the defensive power of the garrison of White Arrow Harbor. The stronger the port, the stronger the defense of the empire.
In the Sea-Ao Empire, no non-official forces dared to provoke the three major divisions.
The authority of the Three Great Divisions was not to be violated!
Two thousand years ago, the Sea-Ao Empire was in a precarious situation. There were strong enemies on the outside and rebellions on the inside. When the seventh Sea-Ao Emperor ascended to the throne, he amended the law and established the position of the Three Great Tribes.
Because of this, the armed forces of each of the three great tribes were astonishingly powerful. This was also a decisive factor in suppressing the rebellion of the empire and defending against foreign enemies.
"I'm just used to feeling uneasy … Maybe I'm naturally sensitive …"
Hayashi River laughed dryly. The pain on his forehead began to lessen. It seemed that he had been overthinking.
In a place like the garrison and with the elite bodyguards of the Mu family, how could there be any danger? Unless there was a real army pressing on the border, they could not capture this place.
While they were chatting, Hayashi River suddenly felt dizzy. His forehead, which had returned to normal, started to hurt again. This time, it was even more intense, as if he had been scalded by boiling water.
This feeling was so familiar. It was the second morning after he arrived at White Arrow Port. It was at Uncle Jason's shop when he saw the strange scene in the police hover car. His forehead also felt the same burning pain.
However, this time, the pain was even more intense. Hayashi River could not help but frown.
"Hayashi River, where are you feeling unwell?" Mu Shuangye looked over and felt that something was wrong with her companion.
"It's nothing. Maybe I ate something bad this morning …"
From Mu Shuangye's bright eyes, Hayashi River saw that there was nothing wrong with his appearance. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Hayashi River quivered and said, "Could it be … the morgue …"
Suddenly turning his head, Hayashi River looked at the morgue on the first floor of the opposite building. His pupils shrank as he saw a faint cluster of scarlet blood energy flashing there.
That strange scene was so familiar. It was exactly the same as that morning. The only difference was that there were more than ten clusters of scarlet blood energy in the room, as if they would explode at any time.
So many terrifying clusters of murderous intent?!
"Could it be … I seem to have some impression of it …"
As his thoughts turned rapidly, Hayashi River suddenly remembered a kind of terrifying Heart Element Equipment. "Flesh Explosion!?"
Mu Shuangye and Meron were stunned. Their expressions suddenly changed. This term was associated with a series of horrifying tragedies.
Ka!
At this time, the cool breeze in the office stopped. The hot wind outside the window squeezed in and quickly eroded the coolness in the room.
Pa pa pa …
A series of sounds came one after another. The lights in the corridor also went out. Voices came from other offices. Vaguely, they heard that there seemed to be a problem with the surveillance cameras in the garrison office. They were all turned off.
Suddenly, Hayashi River's chest heated up. That was the sign of the appearance of a strange pattern. His rapidly beating heart calmed down, and an incomparable sense of danger surged in his heart.
"Get down!" Hayashi River shouted and lay down under the table.
Mu Shuangye and Meron were stunned. They reacted quickly and crawled under the table at the same time.
Boom boom boom …
The sound of an explosion came from the opposite building. It was like thunder in the summer, making people's hearts tremble.
Lin Chuan's field of vision changed. It was as if he was looking at a surveillance camera from all angles. He saw the wall of the first floor across from him crack, and in an instant, a huge hole was formed. A wave of red blood gushed out, and it was accompanied by a terrifying impact.
In the courtyard, the patrolling guards and the Mu family's bodyguards were the first to bear the brunt of the impact. They flew out like paper dolls, and their bodies shattered in mid-air.
Was it really the [Flesh Bomb]?!
Hayashi River lamented in his heart. Since the birth of this Heart Origin Equipment, it had been associated with turmoil and terrorist attacks. After many horrifying tragedies, it had long become a contraband in the Sea-Ao Empire.
No matter how strong a fortress was, it would be breached from the inside.
Although the defense equipment of the garrison office was strong, it couldn't withstand the impact of more than ten [Flesh Bomb]. Thinking back to the murders at the port this month, Hayashi River felt a chill down his spine. This was premeditated, and the target was the garrison office.
In a few seconds, Hayashi River figured this out, but he couldn't think any further.
With a bang, the bulletproof window in the office was torn apart like a rag. The glass shards flew everywhere.
The table shook violently, and there was a "dong dong dong" sound. This was the sound of glass shards stabbing into the table.
The blood mist rushed in like a tide, spreading rapidly in the building. The pungent smell of blood was mixed with the smell of rust. Not only did it make people dizzy, but it could also make people suffocate if they didn't have a gas detector helmet.
Hayashi River had already put on the gas detector helmet. He was glad that he bought a high-grade one. The gas filter effect was the best among the standard Heart Origin Helmets.
"This world is too dangerous. Even the garrison office could be blown up like this …"
Hayashi River sighed in his heart. He had seen this kind of scene many times in the movies. At that time, it was called thrilling and exciting.
Now that he was in the same situation, he actually felt the same thrilling and exciting feeling. However, this kind of personal experience was a thousand times more intense.
It made him feel a little nauseous …
The piercing sound of gunfire was heard. Hayashi River really wanted to vomit, but the strange pattern on his chest rotated, and a cool aura spread throughout his body. Not only did it stop the feeling of vomiting, but it also made his mind calmer.
"Thugs broke into the garrison office?!"
"Inform the Elite garrison. to immediately rush back to support …"
The piercing sound of the alarm was heard. Suddenly, there were many guards screaming downstairs. Concentrated gunfire sounded continuously, followed by "dang dang dang" sounds of collision. It seemed like the bullets were hitting the shields.
Then, the voices of the guards stopped abruptly. Thumping footsteps could be heard. The heavy sound made people think of ferocious beasts.
"That's Sister Jia's voice. Something happened to her …"
Under the table, Mu Shuangye spoke. Her eyes behind the goggles were a little red, but she didn't panic.
Hayashi River nodded. Sister Jia was working at the information desk on the first floor. In the past half a month, she had a good relationship with Mu Shuangye. She was a girl with big, lively eyes. It was said that she was going to marry her fiancé at the end of the year.
"The situation is not good. We'll find a chance to rush out later. I'll cover the rear."
"Hayashi River, your marksmanship is good. When the time comes, cover me. You'll be responsible for escorting Shuangye."
Meron said in a low voice. He had already taken out a broadsword and a round shield on his left arm. They were both high-quality standard Heart Elemental Equipment.
Hayashi River glanced at Meron, indicating for him not to be anxious. The place they were in was only a civilian office. It was not an armory, nor was it a place to hold felons.
Unless the goal of these thugs was to kill everyone in the garrison office, this place was temporarily safe.
Mu Shuangye and Meron nodded. Both of them were a little shocked. At this time, this young man could still be so calm and quickly analyze the situation. Was this really the first time he had experienced such danger?
"If … their goal is to kill everyone in the garrison office …"
As soon as Mu Shuangye opened her mouth, she was glared at by Hayashi River and Meron. Could she not say such unlucky words at this time?
Kacha kacha …
A strange sound rang out. Hayashi River and the other two's hearts jumped. They thought of the sound of sharp teeth rubbing against bones when a beast chewed on its prey. Suddenly, they felt an inexplicable chill.
"This is not good! These guys don't seem to be humans! "
