424 Fighting Crime, Trying to Save the World ? (1/2)
One punch. That was all it took to turn the monstrous skyscraper into rubble.
Moments later, shots of golden beams started shooting in all directions, pushing the rubble away. From the ruins, a person appeared. It was none other than Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao glanced at his mission panel and noticed the addition of a new mission.
Mission: Dream World!
Objective: Rescue everyone from their dream state
Reward: The experience points rewarded were directly proportional to the number of people rescued. The experience points were also capped at 2000.
Punishment: Nil
That same old smile returned to Zhao Yao's face when he read the description. That was what he had been waiting for.
Suddenly, he noticed a somewhat familiar hypnotic flashing lights zooming towards him. It was the police. The policeman sprang down from their vehicles, with their muzzles pointing straight at Zhao Yao's head. With fear splintering his heart, the policeman shouted, ”Raise your hands! Behind your head! Stop moving!”
Zhao Yao obviously paid no attention to this insignificant NPCs. Immediately, that same beam of blinding light swept across a 300 meters radius, knocking all the policemen within it unconscious.
He glanced to his left and right before he decided on this particular rote. The sphere of golden beam followed him wherever he went. It was like a tsunami engulfing the entire city. Anything that came in contact with it was instantly destroyed. Buildings, towers or even skyscrapers collapsed the moment Zhao Yao went pass them.
This time, not only were the police involved. Even the military was roped in for this operation. However, Zhao Yao was completely indifferent to their attacks since he was hiding behind the extradimensional belly gate. Conversely, tens of victims would fall whenever the defective field swept past them. However, they weren't dead. They simply woke up in the real life.
”That was scary!”
”For a moment, I really thought I was going to die!”
”That nightmare felt so realistic!”
At the same time, Zhao Yao had helped countless victims return to the real world. Again and again, that golden beam would streak across the sky before another building collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Yao simply walked through the streets like Godzilla. Nothing stood in his way, be it living or non-living matter. They were annihilated the moment they came within striking distance of Zhao Yao.
However, things were not as peaceful for those who were still stuck in the dream world.
Ah! Ear-splitting shrieks flooded the city as the victims ran around like headless chicken. Honestly, they had no idea where to go. Neither did they know the source of the destruction. In their head, running was simply a better choice than staying put.
Meng Hao noticed the frantic crowd but yet remained calm and composed. Instead, a smile crept up his face.
”Is it the headless warrior? I knew that my arch-nemesis would not have gone down as easily as that.”
Meng Hao was there when the headless horseman was seemingly annihilated in the battle. He saw it for himself. However, that was just another one of his trick. The headless horseman had returned and he was wreaking havoc in the middle of the city.
Meng Hao watched as he saw two skyscrapers colliding into one another before collapsing into ruins. He shook his head and muttered, ”What a tragedy. You could have achieved greatness with that power, but you chose destruction. Now, I shall deliver you your own destruction and inherit the title of Jiangmen City's strongest …”
