15 A sense of purpose (2/2)

A few people rushed to activate the defense mechanism. The hidden origin ability laser cannons began to appear to the surface, moving to aim at the red army. At any time, those fatal laser could be fired.

A 10 meter long gate started moving. “Kacha!” The city’s internal walls had been sealed, preventing any human from leaving the city. Only the outer part of the city, a 3 meter long gate of the guard headquarters was left opened. As for the men outside the city, they were all gathered at the guard headquarter.

“Ready to fire!” (T/N: You have been abandoned, Su Hao!)

Zhou Tiancai was in very high spirits. Just when he was ready to press the fire button, he abruptly stopped his action and stared blankly at the screen. That red army, at the most front, a person was running.

“What happened?”

“Captain, seems to be one of the students.”

“WTF, ready for collision! We must not allow this student to die here.” Zhou Tiancai cursed. With a serious expression while facing his men, he said, “Fellow gate guards, it is our job to protect the public safety. Especially this genius student who will become the pillar of our nation in the future. Even at the expense of our life, we must ensure his safety!” (E/N: Wait till they realise his standing according to public records…)

“Yes!”

Several frivolous gate guards felt the heavy duty and a sense of purpose. This feeling was something they had never felt in these past years guarding the gate.

“Ready! Stike!”

Su Hao started to gasp for air, his body was lacking oxygen. He also began to feel weakness in his legs. When he finally saw the the city gate some energy appeared from deep within and pushed him forward. He continued running, trying desperately to maintain his speed.

This situation was far beyond his expectation.

He had only killed a few dozens berserk red jackals. How could his actions trigger this mad army of berserk red jackals?

Yea!

This was no longer the group of berserk red jackals. While Su Hao bolted, the berserk red jackals howled. Now, even random berserk beasts began to join the party. It was as if they had received some kind of command. Surprisingly, they did not attack him but instead, rushed towards the direction of Jianghe city. (T/N: Wow, wow, wow. Shit is happening.. E/N: Choo choo!)

And some……they were even faster than berserk red jackals!

Su Hao had been attacked by the troop behind him countless time. He was even almost killed in the mouth of berserk beasts.

“Kacha!”

A werewolf like berserk beast rushed to the front, its speed was significantly faster than berserk red jackals. With its mouth, it attempted to bite Su Hao. Su Hao leapt on the werewolf’s head. Taking the advantage of the leveraging force, Su Hao once again continued rushed forward. The distance was pulled further apart from this manoeuvre.

At that time, when he saw the city’s gate which was clear as water with some reflective light rays, these reflection somehow made his eyes extremely painful.

Su Hao recalled what he had learnt from the textbooks. He suddenly understood what that was.

Origin ability ray gun!

Many rampaging berserk beasts were killed from the ray gun! However, at the moment, the ray gun was only on standby mode and did not fire. It was very obvious there was some hesitation which was naturally due to Su Hao.

Su Hao understood that even if it was not targeted at him, just the light ray from the ray gun was enough for people to have short term blindness. It went without saying that he who was running from the horde would be one of the victims too.

“F*ck this shit!”

Su Hao cursed, took a deep breath and facing the direction of the city gat above, he showed a few gestures. His achievement of 180 points in theoretical basis which indicated more knowledge in his brain began to show its usefulness.

The city gate above.

Zhou Tiancai had already ordered the command for collision. However, whether he would successfully save this student, he dared not guarantee. At this time he saw the gestures of the boy through the aiming screen.

“What is that? What is he trying to say?”

“It seems familiar.” Zhou Tiancai remembered he had seen this gestures somewhere but currently, he could not recall. For so many years he had not encountered such situations, naturally, some knowledge had been forgotten.

One of the trainee gate guards there voiced out. “I have learned this in a history textbook! This is a strategy gesture! He was conveying a message!”

“Oh?” Zhou Tiancai was excited. “What information is he conveying?”

The trainee gate guard approached him and answered, “It is an attack order. He allows us to fire!”

“Fire?!”

Zhou Tiancai was speechless. “Once this origin ability ray gun fires almost every human would be blinded but some types of berserk beasts would not be affected. Does this bastard want to die?”

“Captain, if you still do not attack, when the berserk beasts approach the city, I am afraid not only can we not save the student but even our city might be in danger.” One of the gate guard there said his analysis and continued, “We can only believe the student! Believe that he will evade our attack!”

“Alright!”

Zhou Tiancai also knew that this was not the time to hesitate. Looking at the figure of the student through the aiming screen, he spat out one word while clenching his teeth.

“Fire!”
