Explosion

In the restaurant, Helena curiously pointed at Captain Raymond, who was in a hurry.

"Isn't that the police captain? Brother, aren't you going to talk to him?"

Luo Wei's eyes widened, and he suddenly woke up.

The violin music remained light and melodious, and the leisurely customers in the restaurant had no idea what kind of terrifying end awaited them.

Even Helena, with her exotic physique, and Luo Wei, with his vampire regenerative abilities, were both instantly annihilated in the horrific explosion.

There was no chance of survival.

Luo Wei's heart pounded like a drum as he quickly glanced out the window.

The massive airship was still far away, but the faint blue glow it emitted had already caught the attention of a few people.

But people thought it was some kind of festival celebration and didn't take it seriously.

"Luo Wei!"

Captain Raymond walked over, embarrassed, "Sorry to interrupt your date, but there's another special situation!"

Luo Wei quickly stood up, "Captain, compared to your matter, mine is more important!"

With that, he grabbed Helena, who was still eating.

"Brother!?" Her mouth was still messy, and she asked in confusion, "What happened? Why do you look so pale?"

"No time! I'll explain later!" Luo Wei said without hesitation, grabbing her hand and heading out.

"Hey? Luo Wei? Wait!" Captain Raymond quickly caught up.

Luo Wei walked quickly, not wasting a moment.

"What's wrong with you, Luo Wei??"

Facing his old friend Captain Raymond, he finally paused for a moment.

"Captain, do you believe me?"

"Of course, I do." Captain Raymond felt a bit puzzled. Why would he suddenly say these things to me?

And why was Luo Wei constantly looking at the sky? What was there to see?

"Good." Luo Wei looked at him deeply and pointed out the window.

"Do you see that airship? It will explode in a minute and destroy everything around it."

With that, Luo Wei left without looking back, taking Helena with him and rushing out of the restaurant.

Captain Raymond was left behind, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Ah?"

"What?"

Wait, an airship?

Captain Raymond realized something and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

His originally confused gaze instantly changed.

...

Luo Wei grabbed Helena's hand and rushed out of the restaurant and onto the street.

The scale of the explosion was beyond imagination; they had to get away from this area as quickly as possible!

He quickly looked at the street, which wasn't too crowded.

After all, it was a high-end neighborhood, not as crowded as the commercial street they had visited in the afternoon. Luo Wei's eyes scanned the street for a moment.

There were four-wheeled carriages, rickshaws, and steam-powered taxis.

This era hadn't yet seen the invention of the internal combustion engine, so carriages like these hadn't been phased out. High-end people still favored carriages as a symbol of status, but Luo Wei first thought of speed and stability; horses could get spooked.

He directly pulled out a revolver from his backpack and rushed towards the steam taxi parked by the roadside.

The yellow canvas-topped taxi had an exposed, bulky and grotesque boiler engine at the back, looking like a large tricycle.

It was so ugly and had no carriage to block the view, which was why the nobles didn't like this kind of transportation.

Luo Wei lifted Helena onto the back seat and sat beside the driver, pointing the gun at him fiercely.

The driver turned pale with fear.

"Friend! Don't do this, I haven't had any business today, I really don't have any money!!"

The driver was on the verge of tears.

"I don't want your money!" Luo Wei threw all the coins and banknotes from his bag onto the ground and pressed the gun against his forehead.

"You! Turn! Drive!"

Robbing and giving money? The driver was dumbfounded.

Luo Wei's finger touched the trigger, his gaze icy.

The driver was so scared that he immediately turned.

"Okay, okay, okay! Boss, I'll drive right away!"

Behind the steam taxi, a series of choking smoke burst out.

"Boss, where are you going...?" The driver, facing the black muzzle of the gun, was sweating profusely, "You have to tell me a destination..."

Luo Wei immediately became impatient, stepping on his foot and pressing the accelerator to the floor.

"Don't talk nonsense, just drive straight down this street! Full power!!"

The small magic crystal in the core of the steam boiler suddenly emitted a burst of blue light, and the weird-looking tricycle immediately shot forward like a wild horse.

Feeling the cold wind of the convertible hitting his face, Luo Wei's tense heart finally relaxed a little.

"Brother..."

Helena, who had been obediently sitting in the back seat and keeping silent,

finally couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"Did you really mean what you said to that police captain... that airship, will it really explode?"

"Yes!" Luo Wei looked back at her, "We'll all die!"

Helena nodded silently, although the sentence seemed out of context, she believed her brother.

"Explosion??" The driver was shocked.

He quickly looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the airship was already tilting and slowly descending.

And the restaurant from which Luo Wei had just rushed out was filled with gunshots, and many customers were screaming and rushing out.

It must have been Captain Raymond.

He didn't know if he had taken his last words to heart, because the scale of this explosion was truly beyond imagination.

Only then did he have time to think about this strange case.

This was far beyond the energy that could be produced by the explosion of a magic crystal from an airship.

This was probably equivalent to installing all the magic crystals from the city's transportation tools, right?

What was the other party trying to achieve with such a big event?

...

The steam car had been speeding for a minute, and the distance from the restaurant was getting farther and farther.

And that horrific explosion finally arrived.

Luo Wei nervously looked behind him; he could finally see the whole process of this explosion.

A cluster of blue light suddenly lit up, followed by the shockwave. The huge magical energy generated by the out-of-control magic crystal instantly engulfed hundreds of meters of city buildings, and even a kilometer away, one could feel the wind blowing directly on their face.

The driver was scared pale; if it weren't for this customer robbing the car, he might have died inside...

The vehicle suddenly jolted, and the shockwave was still spreading here.

Helena nervously clenched her hands, and six black tentacles subconsciously burst out, stretching towards Luo Wei's position.

"Brother! Be careful!!"

But this time, it was Luo Wei who rushed to the back seat and hugged her tightly.

The shockwave instantly shattered all the glass in the car, and the steam boiler immediately lost power, the small magic crystal flickering and losing all its energy.

The driver was covered in glass shards, screaming in pain.

Helena, however, was unharmed, not even a small scratch.

She looked at her brother, who was so close to her, with a complex gaze.

That figure just now, fearless, looked at her with fear and worry.

She had never imagined that he would protect her one day.

"Brother..."

A warm feeling slowly flowed in Helena's heart.

She gently hugged her brother and carefully stroked his back.

"Does it hurt?"

Seeing that Helena was unharmed, Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved it off nonchalantly.

"Just a superficial injury."

Such minor injuries were nothing to Luo Wei now.

Although, the burning pain on his back and the stinging sensation from the glass shards.

But those wounds didn't last long before his skin began to heal, pushing out the tiny glass shards.

"Oh..." Helena finally felt relieved.

The explosion ended, and Luo Wei kicked open the already dented car door, silently looking at the scene in front of him.

In the distance, the buildings within a kilometer radius of the explosion center were all exposed, blackened, and filled with thick smoke.

The streets were filled with screams, and chaos was spreading through the city.

Helena stood behind him, worriedly holding his hand.

Such a scene was something she had never seen in her life.

The entire Saint Callen City hadn't experienced such a major accident in at least decades. Luo Wei vaguely felt that this peaceful steam city...

Might be about to change.
