Chapter 35 Joining Forces
Upon sensing the danger, Lu Shi immediately revved the engine and swerved to the side.
However, when Lu Shi moved, the sword moved as well.
"I'll do it!" Captain Fu's voice rang out, and he immediately stood up from the motorcycle with a difficult move. Flames suddenly burst forth, and he rushed forward, kicking the flying sword away.
The next moment, a large number of cold weapons flew over.
Faced with these cold weapons, Captain Fu's eyes remained unmoved, only the flames raging wildly within them.
In an instant, flames engulfed everything, and Captain Fu's figure, enveloped in the flames, turned into a series of afterimages.
Meanwhile, Lu Shi had already driven his motorcycle and quickly rushed into the gate of the steel plant.
He rushed straight to the vicinity of the security room at the main entrance.
The security guard on duty was stunned, thinking that a traffic accident had occurred.
Before I could even stand up, I saw the person on the motorcycle tumble and jump off, then leap through the window into the security room with a high-difficulty jump.
"Officer! There's a gang of vicious criminals at the steel mill. Stay hidden and don't move." Lu Shi took out the identification he had prepared in advance from his pocket, then took off his helmet and focused his mind on the runes of the Bloodshed Calamity.
Suddenly, I felt that danger was everywhere around me.
Iron ore, coal, and scrap steel were piled up haphazardly in the raw material area.
The crane is still in operation, picking up goods.
Those steel coils, steel plates, steel sections, and wire rods that have been produced and are ready to be shipped.
And the steelmaking workshop and the rolling mill, where molten iron and red-hot steel billets are produced.
Throughout the factory, countless processes each present their own inherent dangers.
Most of these dangers are under control if the rules and regulations are followed.
However, many of the factory's equipment was already outdated. Although some things have been changed in recent years due to industrial upgrading, there are still many things that have not been changed.
Besides that, there were man-made disasters.
This factory, located in the outskirts of the southern district, is not actually very large, but it used to be the industrial center of the southern district.
The South District is the real Chang City. The North District is just another area that was incorporated into Chang City as it developed, becoming a new urban area that attracted young people from the surrounding areas.
Over time, the southern district gradually became the "old town," with many shops moving away and many people leaving with them.
Nowadays, unless you go to commercial streets, pedestrian streets, or schools, most of the people you see on a daily basis are middle-aged or elderly.
This sense of antiquity permeates everything, including the factory itself.
And the elderly man standing on the material conveying pipeline.
Zhang Lifeng.
Watching the sword blades fly, he was momentarily stunned—how did things develop to this point?
However, the touch of the leather hilt of the sword in his hand brought him back to his senses.
Regardless, he made a wrong move, but since he had already embarked on this path, he was determined to continue!
He swung his sword, cutting off all distracting thoughts, and then all the swords and blades around him flew up with a strange movement.
A flash of fire appeared on the other side, and Captain Fu was already in mid-air.
With the help of flames, Captain Fu has the ability to fly short distances, and at a pretty fast speed.
Most of the weapons that moved were not as fast as the deputy captain's, and their power was also insufficient.
As they approached Captain Fu, the flames slowed them down, and Captain Fu easily pushed them away with a punch and a kick.
Several flames then flickered, accompanied by a whooshing sound as the flames suddenly surged, and Captain Fu appeared not far from Zhang Lifeng.
Without exchanging a single word, Captain Fu closed in the next instant, his fiery foot kicking towards Zhang Lifeng.
This senior member of the martial arts school is a true practitioner; when it comes to swordsmanship, his footwork precedes his movements.
The slanted material conveying pipes seemed like a flat road beneath his feet; no matter which way he walked, there was no instability.
He moved quickly, and with a flick of his sword, he was already aiming for Captain Fu's head.
If Captain Fu kicks him, he'll at most be seriously injured, but if he's hit by this sword, he'll most likely die.
There is a vast chasm between armed and unarmed combat.
However, Captain Fu, who had just kicked out, seemed to be running out of strength, but a flash of red appeared on his body, and flames erupted from other parts of his body, creating a propulsive force that changed his position, allowing him to forcibly dodge the sword.
However, Captain Fu's kick failed, and several weapons flew up automatically, blocking Zhang Lifeng's path.
If Captain Fu insists on kicking it, he will only break his own foot.
Faced with this situation, Captain Fu's feet flashed with flames, and he retreated.
However, the gushing flames passed directly through the swords and weapons, rushing towards Zhang Lifeng.
Although Zhang Lifeng managed to retreat in time, he was still scorched by the flames, his hair and beard curled up, and many blisters appeared on his face.
Before Zhang Lifeng could react, his hair suddenly burst into flames.
Captain Fu, who was also standing on the material conveying pipeline, looked at Zhang Lifeng, and flames naturally began to form.
Flames require three elements, but Captain Fu's ability to ignite flames on his own body requires none of the three elements; he can do whatever he wants.
A flame can ignite wherever it is touched without the need for combustibles or temperature.
Within sight, the need for combustibles and temperature is greatly reduced.
Zhang Lifeng was considered a "human firewood," and after being scorched by the flames, his temperature rose a bit, which was considered to have met the requirements.
However, when faced with such flames, Zhang Lifeng simply swept his sword across the surface, and his fiery hair was shaved off.
Blood flowed from his tattered scalp, making him look like a demon from hell.
Having done all this, Zhang Lifeng once again held his sword and looked at Captain Fu.
A chilling glint flashed in his eyes, and then the weapons around him began to spin.
On the other side, Lu Shi opened his eyes and stood up.
Then a speck of blood shot out and accurately hit Zhang Lifeng.
Zhang Lifeng's spiritual senses stirred, and he realized something.
The next moment, the material conveying pipeline, which had been closed, was suddenly activated, with iron ore rolling inside.
This rolling seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and the steel pipe beneath Zhang Lifeng's feet collapsed at that moment.
Zhang Lifeng was unsteady on his feet, but his body was much lighter than he had imagined. The moment the pipe collapsed, he jumped to the side.
At that moment, something happened on the side of the pipe diagonally above. The screws that were fixing the steel plate loosened, and the steel plate fell down. The iron ore that was rolling in the pipe had a new outlet, and a lot of it poured out from this opening.
And below this opening was Zhang Lifeng, who had jumped away earlier.
The weapons around him moved and swung above, forming an interception.
His body suddenly accelerated in mid-air and leaped toward the roof of a factory building on the slant side.
