“s.h.i.+t. What is going on? Why did they close the railway? The trains have lined up miles behind us.”

Sitting in the traffic that was barely moving, some pa.s.sengers complained.

All trains coming from the west had to pa.s.s through the train station just outside of the city. Infantry Division 116 had closed the train station and stopped the traffic from moving. Already, a few pa.s.senger trains were forced to stop and formed a long line outside of the city.

Seeing the traffic was not going to move any time soon, many pa.s.sengers got off the crammed train cart to stretch their legs while complaining about the military operation.

“I heard that they are looking for two suspects. One Asian male and the other is a hot Russian blonde. They come from the City of Yakutsk and harmed many officers. I have heard about them when I pa.s.sed another city on my way here.”

One person put in.

Suddenly, a young woman nudged her husband who was snapping a selfie in front of the soldiers and asked: “Hey love, is that dude in the leather jacket an Asian? He is much better looking than most Asian men I know. Oh.. wait a second… he walked across the cordon.”

The Infantry Division 116 had thrown a cordon around the train station to restrict the movement of pa.s.sengers.

Chen Fan quickly caught everyone’s attention when he crossed the barrier and sauntered toward the soldiers. The soldiers thought he was an officer of the military at first, but soon Chen Fan’s Asian features aroused their suspension.

“Halt! This area is off-limits. I will shoot if you come any closer.”

A soldier trained his gun at Chen Fan and shouted at him from a distance.

Chen Fan didn’t heed the warning and continued forward with his hands linked behind his back. His upright body silhouetted against the white snow on the ground. Right in front of him was tens of thousands of fully armed soldiers.

“Bang!”

Seeing Chen Fan didn’t heed the warning, a soldier fired at him.

He didn’t mean to kill Chen Fan, so he aimed at Chen Fan’s feet. However, to everyone’s surprise, the bullet hit an azure energy s.h.i.+eld and bounced off without even touching Chen Fan.

“Holy moi boch!”

The soldier dropped his gun and gaped at Chen Fan in disbelief.

The other pa.s.sengers were also shocked by the development. The young woman who spotted Chen Fan covered her mouth to stifle a gasp. Her husband worked at a Russian branch office of Global Mail, so snapping photos was right up his alley. He turned around and pointed his camera at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan didn’t much mind the pa.s.senger’s attention as he pressed onward.

“Sssth-Wack!”

A golden fire burst out from Chen Fan’s body and burnt away the leather jacket, revealing a black flowy outfit. The hat on his head was also reduced to ashes, unleas.h.i.+ng a cascade of dark silky hair that tumbled down to Chen Fan’s shoulder.

Surrounded by a ball of golden flame, Chen Fan looked like the Greek G.o.d of the Sun, Apollo.

His foot left a golden mark on the ground with each step he took, making a burning trail of footprints behind him as he made his way toward the Infantry Division 116.

“Bang”

The gunshot wrenched the other soldiers’ minds from their stupor. They looked around and asked each other: “What happened? Why was there a gunshot?”

“Did they find the suspect? Let’s go get him!”

“Humph! Are you sure it’s necessary to mobilize an entire infantry division for two criminals? Don’t you think the police force would be enough? Hold on… what the h.e.l.l is that?”

A veteran soldier was suddenly lost for words as he locked his eyes on Chen Fan in the distance.

Under tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, Chen Fan walked toward the Infantry Division 116 while surrounded by golden flames. The scene looked like a painting of the arrival of the Messiah.

“Holy s.h.i.+t! Is that an angel? But… but why is he Asian?”

Even as the soldiers were stunned by Chen Fan’s dramatic entrance, they heard their officer’s angry voice shouting at them through the intercom. “You Idiots! That’s the guy were are looking for. Kill him before he gets close.”

The officer’s orders jerked the soldier’s minds from their admiration.

The entire Infantry Division 116 was on the move all of a sudden. Soldiers trained their guns at Chen Fan as gunners and missile units primed their deadly weapons. A few dozen armored vehicles parked inside the city also revved up their engines and marched onward.

“Should we open fire? We might be offending a messenger of G.o.d.”

Some religious soldiers hesitated.

“Messenger my a.s.s! He is a murder, a suspect, kill him. NOW!”

After the officers showered the soldiers with firm commands mixed with curses, the Infantry Division 116 finally opened fire.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The group of soldiers that stood closest to Chen Fan fired their machine guns. Chen Fan was still three kilometers away from the center of the army formation, therefore most people were shooting without aiming. However, the sheer amount of bullets turned the attack into a heavy downpour of steel that could kill any living being within its range.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the bullets evaporated into thin air a few meters before they even reached Chen Fan. Worse, the attack didn’t even slow Chen Fan down.

“This is… Impossible!”

The soldiers and many pa.s.sengers gaped at the development in shock. The journalist from the Global Mail held back his surprise and snapped as many photos as he could industriously.

He murmured to himself as he did so: “This is going to be breaking news! This is Pulitzer material!”
