187: Chapter 169: Giant 187: Chapter 169: Giant The Ancient City TV Tower, located around the lake within the ancient city, is a famous landmark building. Below it is a lakeside park with very nice scenery. The TV station often comes down to shoot, further increasing its popularity and turning it into a small tourist Holy Land. Even on a Monday morning, people were still boating on the lake and camping on the grass platform… “Boom!” The ground shook violently, and the lake water actually formed waves. The tourists on the small boats were shaken into the sky. “What happened!?” Some people didn’t know the situation and woke up from their sleep with a bewildered look on their face. They saw the mess in front of them and guests who were either dumbstruck or running away. Following their straight-upward glances, he was also instantly stunned by the scene that shouldn’t have appeared even in nightmares and a reality that couldn’t be understood. “The TV tower… came to life?” “Boom!” The steel frame stepped directly into the lake, like a naughty child stepping into a puddle, and water splashed out instantly, along with several small boats. The 200-meter giant steel beast instantly became the focus of the field of view, but the strange thing was that none of the TV stations broadcast the breaking news… Oh, the TV channels are inside the TV tower, so that’s not a problem. The giant steel creature moved slowly and instantly became the brightest presence in the entire city. It didn’t need to attack anything; wherever it went, ruins and rubble piles formed naturally. “Boom!” High-voltage lines and the trains above them directly became its victims at its feet. The only thing to be thankful for was that its movement speed wasn’t particularly fast… but this also caused panic to spread throughout the area. However, when Lu Ping’an first received the news, he was also stunned. The TV tower came alive? And it could run and jump? “…The neighboring district got overwhelmed and is asking the Ancient City’s Special Service Teams for help. We’re the closest district, so it’s best to arrive at the scene as soon as possible. This is the case file they just shared. Take a look. I personally checked it before; the handling method isn’t a problem, but the opponent’s strength is a bit beyond expectations…” Sitting in the police car, Lu Ping’an had time to flip through the materials that had just arrived. The Original Blue District had prepared multiple contingency plans before the roundup, considering that the opponents were high-level professionals, and they were also prepared to ask for reinforcements. The shared basic information and action plans expanded Lu Ping’an’s horizons. After confirming that Fang Fei was using the alias Cai Jingjing and hiding in the TV station, they didn’t choose to rush in blindly. They obtained intelligence from the Beast Tamer and the Spirit Awaker that a strong attack would most likely lead to the worst outcome. “Attacking an Electronic Soul-awakener’s ‘base’ is definitely a disaster; her weapons and cannon fodder would be endless.” It was obvious that the area under construction at the base of the TV tower was Fang Fei’s workshop, and she had never left it day or night. So they waited for a moment, the time when she would leave her “workshop”: the Monday routine meetings. At this time, they didn’t attempt to assassinate her (as that would be difficult), but conservatively chose to raid her workshop… As long as they destroyed the war machines and Mechanical Beasts inside, at least separating the Beast Tamer from her “beasts”, a Beast Tamer would naturally lose most of her power. “…Hasn’t anyone ever thought of the possibility that the entire TV tower is her beast?” “There was, but the probability was very low, and it was clearly the worst-case scenario among the many that existed. So, they immediately started asking for reinforcements.” Lu Ping’an understood. Once that person snuck into the TV tower and obtained the renovation project, this day would happen sooner or later. “The only thing worth celebrating is probably that due to the lack of ‘batteries’, the creature isn’t in its perfect state.” The police cars drove against the flow of traffic in a group of vehicles. As they pulled up on an expressway, they saw the huge monster. It looked like an ordinary TV tower… if one could ignore the twisted rebar forming the gigantic limbs and arms. The whole shape looked like a twisted wire man, disregarding its height of at least 200 meters. “Boom!” With a wave of its huge hand, the massive bridge turned into ruins, and the roadblock that had just been set up was completely unnoticed, as it was easily stepped over. “Buzz!” It shook violently, and the broken bridge caused another earthquake disaster. In front of this enormous figure, all obstacles were meaningless, and the sporadic counterattacks on the ground were completely ignored. “Why aren’t they attacking? Taking it down?” Lu Ping’an was puzzled. According to his understanding of high-level professionals, this kind of monster was not invulnerable. Not understanding, Lu Ping’an looked at Xia Qin. “There are at least one thousand five hundred staff inside.” Xia Qin’s teeth were clenched, but she still just tightly gripped the steering wheel. The hostages were the crux of the problem and an issue that could not be avoided. In a sense, Team One made an unwise decision. They chose to separate the “beast” and the “Beast Tamer”… If they had determined earlier that the entire television tower was the beast, choosing a night raid to separate the “beast” and the “hostages” might have been a better choice. Now, there were many entertainment and media professionals inside. Even if they were not injured or killed in the attack, none of them would survive if it collapsed. “But if we don’t kill it, the death toll will definitely exceed one thousand five hundred.” “So, who gave the order?” A very practical question. Perhaps the frontline personnel were waiting for orders from above, but could anyone really give such an order? “They probably still have hopes that this thing is not complete, the energy is not full, and it may break apart soon…” At this moment, Lu Ping’an fell silent. Everyone knew that passively waiting was foolish, but who was able to exchange lives for numbers? Who gave you that power? As guardians of order, sometimes, it’s inevitably frustrating. “Look, the sky.” Lu Ping’an noticed that an airship was slowly approaching in the sky, and parachutes were opening one by one. On the ground, people were also trying to approach the giant and climb… “Tsk, what a miserable death.” Reality is not an animated film. The shockwaves caused by the movement of this kind of monster are enough to make any normal person approaching it lose their ability to act while various small- and medium-sized mechanical demons appeared faintly above. The airborne paratroopers also suffered attacks. Many spherical creatures flying around the tower emitted laser-like beams as anti-aircraft fire, successfully intercepting several unfortunate individuals. “Hua Xueyi, take me up there. Lei Huoren, follow.” This moment, Captain Xia made up her mind. If she didn’t take advantage of this wave of paratroopers attracting the enemy’s anti-aircraft fire to fly up, it would be much harder for her to do so later. She called out Hua Xueyi, who had the ability to fly, but the girl only glanced at the giant and her head was spinning, her face turning pale. It wasn’t that she was scared, but… “I can’t fly that high with my gliding and Feather Walking abilities, two hundred meters…” It wasn’t an excuse, and even Lu Ping’an knew that her actual limit for flying was only a dozen meters, and she had a slight fear of heights. “Fly as high as you can, then step on the middle part of the tower to gain more altitude. Can you do that?” Xia Qin’s inquiry received an affirmative answer from Hua Xueyi, and so the plan was set. “Three, two, one…” When Hua Xueyi suddenly stepped on the roof of the police car and carried Xia Qin into the air, she realized something was wrong with the weight. She looked down and saw that her right leg had already been wrapped in tentacles, with a man dragging her by the tail, smiling at her. “Don’t worry, I have ‘Feather Walking’ too. Just catching a ride, hope you don’t mind?”
