Chapter 423 The Horror of an Unexpected Call

The screech of brakes seemed to tear at our eardrums. The massive tanker truck, like a runaway steel behemoth, crushed the debris of the median strip and charged onto the pedestrian crossing with a brutal gait.

The crowd's order collapsed in an instant, with screams, cries, and shoving creating a chaotic symphony.

Countless people scattered in terror, but some were tripped and trampled, their desperate cries for help mercilessly swallowed by the roar of the engines.

However, in the heart of this boiling panic, Zhang Qi remained as steadfast as the eye of the storm.

He didn't even look back at the behemoth that was about to crush him into mincemeat.

Just as the massive front of the tanker truck was about to touch his body, time seemed to stretch out.

Black armor quickly formed, and sharp high-frequency blades popped out from the arm guards with a "whoosh," emitting a clear hum.

Faced with the oil tanker truck hurtling towards him like a mountain crashing down, Zhang Qi simply raised his right arm calmly.

The seemingly thin high-frequency blade, under intense vibration, developed visible ripples on its edge.

He didn't dodge or retreat; instead, he swung his knife upwards from a precise angle, facing the front of the car.

There was no earth-shattering noise, only a sickening cutting sound.

The thin blade easily pierced the truck's bumper, tore through the engine compartment, and continued upwards, neatly slicing the entire cab and the massive tank behind it in two, like cutting a block of warm butter.

Boom——!
The immense inertia propelled the two halves of the car forward for dozens of meters, whizzing past Zhang Qi's sides before finally crashing into a building in the distance.

The gasoline inside the vehicle poured out with a whooshing sound, quickly forming a pool of oil on the ground.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gasoline.

A lighter, dropped in the chaos, was stepped on by a running foot, and with a "click," a spark flew out.

boom!
The flames ignited instantly, and the raging fire engulfed the entire block, turning the spilled gasoline into a sea of ​​fire. A wave of heat swept over, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

However, the next moment, Zhang Qi activated the megaphone-like structure at the mouth of the bio-armor.

"Om-"

An invisible vibration emanated from the ultrasonic transmitter at his mouth.

The air was compressed and distorted by this high-frequency vibration, forming a shock wave that was visible to the naked eye.

The flames that had been so arrogant and rampant just moments before were extinguished by an invisible giant hand before this force took hold of them. After struggling for a moment, they were extinguished, leaving only a mess and wisps of black smoke rising from the ground.

The surrounding noise paused eerily for a moment.

The surviving passersby, who were still reeling from their near-death experience, stared wide-eyed at the black armored figure standing in the center of the ruins.

Ignoring the horrified stares, Zhang Qi activated the anti-gravity device, leaping into the air and tracing a graceful arc before landing steadily on the rooftop of a nearby building.

He lowered his head, looking down at the chaotic scene below, his eyes beneath the mask calmly analyzing everything.

Just a moment ago, he deliberately activated his senses.

The tanker truck's loss of control was purely a physical act of madness, as if it had been forcibly deflected by an unseen hand.

Just then, the image on the huge LED screen not far away changed again.

The screen, which had been displaying his "death photo," flickered with static and then showed a new image.

It was a burning building, with thick smoke billowing from the windows. Through one of the broken windows, a charred human figure could be clearly seen, its posture and the outline of its armor clearly identifying it as Zhang Qi.

The death warning has been updated.

As the image appeared, the rooftop beneath Zhang Qi's feet began to shake violently without warning!
Boom——! ! !
A chain reaction of explosions occurred in the gas pipelines inside the building. The raging flames, like the raging fire erupting from hell, instantly broke through the ground of the rooftop, forming a huge pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky from Zhang Qi's feet!
"The rules seem to still follow the logic of giving a warning before killing, as in the original work."

Zhang Qi acted faster than he thought.

The instant the explosion occurred, he had already leaped from the rooftop. The performance of his bio-armor allowed him to land lightly on the ground dozens of meters below; the shockwave merely propelled him. "The attack method... is it similar to Zhang Jie's telekinesis, the ability to directly interfere with macroscopic physical phenomena with mental power...?"

As he pondered this, he began to walk toward the home address of Mizunuma Mimiko that he had found earlier at the internet cafe.

He had to go to the source to confirm the situation.

However, this journey was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Shop windows on both sides of the street, navigation screens on parked cars, even the screens of cell phones in pedestrians' pockets... anywhere that could display an image, flashed one after another the moment he passed by, showing all sorts of predictions of his tragic death.

"boom!"

An excavator parked on the side of the road suddenly swung its massive mechanical arm out of control, smashing down on his head with tremendous force.

Without turning his head, Zhang Qi threw a punch, twisting and deforming the hard alloy mechanical arm.

"Boom!"

The entire balcony of an apartment building he had just walked past suddenly collapsed, along with the air conditioner unit and other debris, cascading down towards his head like a small waterfall.

He simply quickened his pace and easily avoided it.

Seemingly because conventional physical attacks could not effectively damage the [Guyver Armor], Mimiko's "accident" standard began to be upgraded in a frenzy.

From the initial oil tankers to engineering vehicles, and then to the partial collapse of buildings... the scale of the disaster is expanding at a visible rate.

The most bizarre thing is that, faced with this scene that resembled a Hollywood disaster movie, the pedestrians around them displayed a chilling calm.

They continued to do as they pleased: office workers looked down at their phones, housewives carried shopping bags, and couples strolled hand in hand.

When an excavator crashes into the ground, they will avoid it as if it were a puddle.

They would sidestep the falling pebbles from the balcony as if they were dodging falling leaves.
Even the raging fire that engulfed the exploded building seemed to disappear from their eyes.

The whole world seemed to be divided into two levels.

One is the terrifying death trap that Zhang Qi experienced step by step; the other is the mundane daily life of ordinary people.

The implications behind this made Zhang Qi's heart sink, indicating that it was not simply the first scenario.

Finally, after running all the way, he could see the slightly dilapidated residential area in the distance, where Mizunuma Mimiko's house was located.

But just then, an unprecedentedly loud roar came from the sky, overwhelming all the noise in the city.

Zhang Qi raised his head, his pupils slightly contracting.

In the sky, a huge Boeing passenger plane, with an illogical tilt angle and trailing a long plume of black smoke, was plummeting straight down from the clouds like a giant bird with broken wings.

And its trajectory, precisely, led him into the area in front of him. The shadow cast by the massive fuselage, like a giant curtain, quickly enveloped him.

Faced with this colossal object capable of destroying an entire city block, Zhang Qi stopped in his tracks.

"Are they getting serious now...?"

He muttered to himself as the control unit on the head of the Guyver armor shone brightly.

"Then, I will also..."

The next moment, a huge black cocoon enveloped Zhang Qi, its shell cracking, reforming, and expanding layer by layer.

A terrifying energy surge, far exceeding anything seen before, erupted from him!

The [Giants Armor] descends...
