Chapter 16 Week 15: Companions

The strange sound from far away awakened Rachel who was sleeping. She jumped up immediately, pushed aside the pile of newspapers covering her body for warmth and camouflage, ran out of the pedestrian tunnel, and looked up at the sky where the voice came from. Rachel is currently on Canton Road in Jordan, looking in the direction of China Hong Kong City. The sky between the buildings was twilight, and it was still early in the morning. She didn't see anything making the sound.But she knew what it was—because it wasn't the first time she saw it. It has been five days since Rachel fled to Kowloon and has been wandering.During the period, I encountered people with malicious intentions several times. Fortunately, the police gun given by Lao Ma was close by, so the other party did not dare to act rashly.

Every time she said to the other party: "The people across the sea have organized an army and are ready to attack!" But the people who listened snorted, even if she played the phone recording, they couldn't arouse their interest.They just kept on eyeing Rachel to see if they could snatch everything from her hands and body. --no.You must find someone who is still sensible.And the one who hasn't given up hope yet! — But how to find such a person? The mysterious armed helicopter suddenly appeared in the sky one and a half months ago. Rachel didn't witness it at the time, but heard many people mention it.

Until two days ago, when she actually saw the bombing attack for the first time, Rachel was completely terrified. She was wandering aimlessly around Bowley Lane.Suddenly I heard the sound like a storm blowing.Then she suddenly saw three black shadows that looked like death angels, quickly passing by the sky in front of them, rushing towards Yau Ma Tei. It is not yet known what happened, but a strong explosion was heard from the north. Rachel froze in shock. --what happened? When she ran out of Nathan Road to look again, the helicopter fleet had turned into small black dots high in the sky.A large plume of black smoke rose in the distance to the north.

She kept thinking about this scene that night, and finally figured it out: just as Professor Lai said, the helicopters belonged to the forces that blocked and monitored Hong Kong from outside.They carried out this bombing as part of the blockade. ——In other words, someone here in Kowloon is trying to use some method to break through the blockade! So at this moment, when she heard the sound of the helicopter, Rachel ran in that direction without hesitation! She pulled out the pistol at her waist and ran towards Tsim Sha Tsui, praying in her heart that the bombing would not happen too far away... But she felt something was wrong: this time the sound was much stronger than last time...

——This time there are more than three! Canton Road, which was originally dead quiet, suddenly appeared a lot of people.Many people who were also awakened by the sound of the helicopter came to the street, running in the opposite direction to Rachel - trying to escape from the direction of the helicopter. Rachel walked against the crowd, and her shoulder hurt twice when someone touched her. This time it was No. 1 Peking Road that suffered the disaster.Five armed helicopters lined up in a battle formation and crazily scattered rockets towards the glass curtain of the building.Burning debris rained down; after No. 1 Peking Road became a sea of ​​flames, the fleet was still unsatisfied, and spread out to shoot at the nearby buildings with heavy machine guns.

Neither 1881Heritage nor Harbor City were spared, with bricks and tiles shattered.The century-old tree survived the felling by real estate developers, but could not escape the intensive shooting, and the whole tree was cut off by the barrage and collapsed. Stray bullets flew in all directions. Rachel hid behind the wall of the commercial building, not even daring to poke her head over to look. After shooting for almost three minutes, the helicopter lingered for a while, and it seemed that there were no signs of life within a few hundred meters before closing the group and leaving. Rachel continued to run closer.The scene was horrible.Those who could not escape were shot to pieces or burned to charcoal. Rachel was used to seeing corpses, so she didn't bind her feet because of it, but was anxious.

——Those people...are they dead too? ... After more than ten minutes of inspection, Rachel was beginning to look disappointed when she suddenly heard voices from the other side of the street. "Wow! This time they are really ruthless..." A middle-aged man with blond hair crawled out from the basement of the shopping mall, looking at the devastation, he couldn't help cursing. "Fortunately, they hid underground this time. They must have known that we were using remote control and wanted to catch us all when they shot like this!" Then came a teenage boy with dark skin, holding a laptop computer very carefully, watching Seeing the surrounding scene, I couldn't help turning blue on my face: "Yes, next time maybe they will simply drop a big bomb... It seems that we must hide farther away! Maybe we need to use double signal transfer." "But this What a success!" An uncle wearing thick glasses next to the boy patted the computer on the boy's hand: "You wrote this LXB ver.2.2 even better, it took only three days to crack their newly set Interference! As long as we collect more supplies, we can broadcast every day, and then it will be impossible for the outside world to block the news..."

Brother Long, Jizai, and Uncle You were all stunned at this moment.Because they saw a beautiful girl with short hair jumped out of the rubble and aimed at them with a police gun in her hand. Several of Brother Long's subordinates who appeared after that drew their guns one after another, but Brother Long stretched out his hand to prevent them from pulling the trigger.With his rich experience in the arena, Long Ge saw at a glance that the girl in front of him was not murderous, and the gun was raised purely for self-protection. Rachel shuddered at the pistols being held.But she resisted, and the gun was still pointed at Long Ge, who seemed to be the leader, while looking at Ji Zai and Uncle You.Both had hands full of electronic and radio equipment.

"Little girl...don't point a gun at me...put it down." Brother Long said in a calm tone. "You..." Rachel's eyes fell on Jizai's computer: "Are you communicating with the outside world?" Jizai looked at the girl, feeling his throat was dry, unable to speak, and just nodded. "In about a month..." Uncle You said, "The outside world will spread the news about us, and it will be impossible to maintain the blockade." Rachel breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the gun. "I'm afraid you don't have a month." Rachel took out her phone and pressed the play button.

"Into-Attack-Kowloon! In-Attack-Kowloon!..."
