Chapter 338 Spontaneous Human Combustion
The sound of the explosion caused chaos in the neighborhood, especially the woman who was closest to the man. She was directly implicated and was knocked into the glass door of a nearby shop by the impact of the explosion. The entire glass door made a huge vibration sound and immediately shattered into pieces, and at the same time the woman fell in a pool of blood.
The clothes of other people who were a little closer were also ignited by the sparks from the explosion. A middle-aged man in his forties was howling and flailing around. The hem of his clothes had been caught on fire, and the flames soon devoured his entire clothes and exposed skin.
After the others reacted, the braver ones rushed forward and tried to tear off the man's clothes that were on fire. Unfortunately, they tried several times but failed and could only let the man roll on the ground.
Fortunately, there was an F-level water-based mutant in the team. She mobilized her body's supernatural powers and finally managed to create a slow stream of water in her palms, which she continuously hit the man.
But unfortunately, the supernatural power was not enough, and the water flow was only a small stream. It took several minutes of water to finally put out the fire on the man's body.
But no one knew whether the man had fainted from the burns of the scorching flames or had died directly. He was just lying on the ground motionless, as if he had no breath left.
There was a timid person nearby who was screaming loudly. The deafening cries and howls one after another gave people a splitting headache.
Liao Yunyun looked at everything in front of her with lingering fear, thinking that if she had been a little closer, she might even have to check on the man's condition.
If Gu Tongwan hadn't held her back, she would have ended up like the man on the ground.
This panic did not last long, because even more shocking things continued to happen.
The man whose body exploded before was now filled with flames all over. The flames had devoured him beyond recognition, but even so, he did not die completely. Instead, he continued to live in a strange form, only making low, hoarse sounds of "hehe" from his mouth.
Gu Sheng has already realized that the man is no longer the original person, perhaps he can't even be called a human being. Although she has never seen such a superpower explosion, she now finds that the man's superpower level seems to have risen a lot from F.
The man turned around, and in the blazing flames he seemed to see a pair of bloody eyes looking at the woman lying in a pool of blood.
Some people thought that his conscience was awakened by the injury of his lover, but they didn't expect the man to approach slowly.
At this time, the woman's body trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up from fainting.
At that moment, the man raised his hand, and there was a fierce "bang". The woman was instantly surrounded by flames and then let out a shrill scream of pain in the fire.
This painful sound continued for about one or two minutes, until the woman finally turned into a pile of charcoal. The man turned around with satisfaction, raised his hand, and continuously fired fireballs at the crowd.
"Oh no, everyone run, this guy is crazy!" Someone noticed something was wrong and shouted to warn everyone, but the sound instead attracted the attention of the self-igniting man, and several fireballs hit the man in succession.
Fortunately, the man ran fast, and he could feel the scorching heat as several fireballs passed by his body.
The hundreds of people at the scene ran directly in the direction of the only back of the block, but because they were busy escaping, everyone only had their own safety in their eyes, so they kept pushing the people in front of them as they ran.
Several people fell to the ground during the scuffle, and one of them was a young man in his twenties who was hit on the head with a fireball by the man who caught fire.
"Wanwan, let's run too." Liao Yunyun hurriedly grabbed Gu Tongwan's hand and wanted to run.
At this time, Gu Tongwan did not move at all, but touched the machete he carried at his waist.
I carry this knife with me whenever I go out recently. After all, compared to a gun, a machete is less likely to be targeted.
"Yunyun, find a place to hide first. I'll hold that guy back." Gu Tongwan narrowed his eyes and finally decided to take action.
Although she could watch her man wreak havoc and slaughter here, she could not help but feel disgusted with her own indifference when she thought about it after returning.
She can be selfish, but that is based on the premise that her own interests are violated.
But now, this monster, which could no longer be called a human, was killing innocent people. If she could give the people a little time to escape within her ability, she would be willing to do it. Besides, with the blood vines, she could ensure that she would not get hurt.
Gu Sheng turned the machete in his hand for a circle, and before going over, he told Liao Yunyun to call the Security Bureau immediately.
The moment he rushed out, Gu Tongwan felt that the temperature in the air seemed to be getting higher and higher, perhaps because the self-igniting man changed the temperature of the air.
The man who caught fire had already attacked four or five passers-by and was about to attack a mother and her child. The poor young mother could only wrap her whole body around the child, who was four or five years old, and waited in despair for death to come.
But at this moment, a painful scream was suddenly heard.
The young mother raised her head and found a slender figure standing in front of her. She swung the machete in her hand and directly cut off one of the arms of the man who was spontaneously combusting.
The burning severed arm rolled on the ground for several times and finally landed in front of an old lady who was huddled in the shop in front.
The old lady screamed and fainted because of the horrible scene.
At this time, more people were still trying desperately to escape, but unfortunately, the road was being repaired in front of the block, so the way was blocked by fences. Dozens of people could only keep retreating and even planned to dismantle the fences.
"How is it? Did you get through to the Security Bureau?" a man desperately urged his friend who was holding the phone.
"Connected, damn it, hurry up and answer the phone for me, what are these people in the Security Bureau doing!" The man who was calling had sweat pouring down his face like a waterfall, and his dark blue shirt was completely wet. While talking on the phone, he stared at the self-igniting man in front of him who was confronting a young girl.
"Is that girl okay? She's so brave. If we can't defeat her, we'll all be finished." Another man in his thirties muttered.
The woman next to him scolded, "What are you talking about? Why don't you go over and help? You men are all strong and healthy. Can't dozens of men subdue him?"
"Oh, it's so easy for you to say that. Can that thing be considered a human being? I think it's a monster. And didn't you see how many people he killed? If you want to go up, then go up. My wife and children are waiting for me at home." The man immediately retorted, obviously unwilling to go up.
At this time, the other men also looked at each other. Although they felt ashamed to see Gu Tongwan, a girl, risking her life to stand up, they were more selfish and did not want to put themselves in danger. They would rather someone else take such a risk for them.
When Gu Tongwan cut off the arm of the man who caught fire, he also released some of the blood vines on the back of his hand.
Ordinary people or people with low levels of supernatural powers cannot detect blood vines in a transparent state.
In Gu Tongwan's vision, the released blood vines quickly split into many blood vine branches, gradually forming a dense net, and then continuously wrapped the man.
But perhaps because the man was surrounded by flames, the blood vines could not suck the man's blood for a while, so they could only limit the speed of the spontaneously combusting man's movements.
But this was enough for Gu Tongwan to continue chopping with the second blow.
I just don’t know if the flames from the supernatural explosion strengthened the man’s body to a certain extent. When the machete chopped towards the man’s neck, it seemed like it was chopping on hard soil, and Gu Tongwan’s palm was instantly hurt.
The blade of the machete was dented, which showed how hard the spontaneously combusting man's body had become.
At this time, low-level psychics have begun to join the battle.
Perhaps it was because they knew that if they didn't help the girl subdue the self-igniting man, once the girl was killed, the self-igniting man would shift his target and attack them, and they would then have no way to escape.
A total of three psychics joined the battle, one of them was a D-level earth-type psychic, and the other two were an F-level strength-type psychic and an F-level metal-type psychic.
The earth-type mutant used all his abilities to make the area under the spontaneously combusting man sink by a large area of about thirty to forty centimeters. This caused the spontaneously combusting man to stagger several times due to the sudden sinking, and he almost lost his balance for a while.
The strength-type psychic picked up a stone block in front of the store and threw it directly at the self-igniting man.
After being hit by the stone pillar, the man screamed twice. Another metal-type mutant used some metal barriers and billboards placed nearby by the shop and attacked the man.
But none of these could inflict real fatal injuries on the man. Gu Tongwan took several steps back and nodded slightly to several psychics not far away to show their assistance.
The blood vines seemed to have slightly cut through the outermost layer of flames and tried to get under the man's skin. Although there was no flesh and blood under the skin as there should be on a normal person, the blood vines could absorb energy from any living thing that still had energy.
The man waved his other unbroken arm and continuously sent fireballs towards the crowd in front of him.
Fortunately, the earth-type mutant used his ability to make several mounds of earth, which barely blocked the incoming fireballs.
And no one noticed that every time the self-igniting man activated his supernatural power, the circle of fire wrapped around his body became smaller.
A few minutes later, a sharp horn was heard not far away, and two cars were seen approaching from the block.
Six Self-Defense Force members got out of the car, all holding guns in their hands. They were also shocked when they saw the man who caught fire. After all, they had never seen anyone who could move quickly after spontaneously combusting.
The spontaneously combusting man seemed to have realized that his vitality was slipping away, so he became more and more manic and angry. When he saw the Self-Defense Forces, he waved his hands and made a shrill sound. The "jiejie" sound became deeper and more harsh, like the sound of chalk being scratched on a blackboard again and again.
The flames that had been weak suddenly exploded again.
Gu Tongwan's pupils shrank and he clenched the machete in his hand instantly.
Oh no! This self-igniting man must have already made plans to perish along with his foe. He is very likely planning to release all his mental power to deal with the Self-Defense Forces.
The mental power of a psychic is generally not fully released. If it is fully released without leaving any space, there is a high probability that it will be backlashed. In the worst case, the psychic will die suddenly due to the exhaustion of the psychic power.
The man has already shown that he doesn't want to live after doing this. Although it is not known whether he retains his consciousness as a human being, it is obvious that his mind is now so twisted that he has become an antisocial human.
Even if he didn't die in the end, he would either spend his life miserably on a hospital bed or be locked up in a water dungeon in the underground city.
The Self-Defense Force members fired wildly at the man with their guns.
Even a person with super powers could not withstand the dense bullets, and his super powers were gradually exhausted.
In addition, several members of the Self-Defense Force are psychics themselves. They compress their mental power into bullets, and when they shoot, their superpowers will automatically transform into stronger shock waves, which will turn the body of the self-igniting man into bloody holes.
The fire suppression lasted for about seven or eight minutes before the self-igniting man finally fell to the ground motionless. The flames on his body had turned light blue and were gradually decreasing until they were almost invisible.
There was a burning smell in the air, and there was a "crack" sound. A gust of wind blew, and the man's body turned into ashes in an instant.
The Self-Defense Force members greeted each other, then surrounded the man and carefully examined him. Only after confirming that the man had indeed turned into black ash did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The other onlookers hugged each other as if they were rescued. Some even put their hands together and prayed to God. However, after being rescued, they did not thank Gu Tongwan and other psychics who had been standing in front of them, or the Self-Defense Force members who arrived later. Instead, they firmly believed that their faith played a crucial role.
This is just one of the various aspects of life, and it cannot be ironic any more. Unfortunately, freedom of belief is the right of others, even if it makes one smile at the moment.
At this time, there were a total of five bodies lying on the ground. The injured people were still in the crowd. They were taken into the car by several members of the Self-Defense Forces and sent to a nearby health hospital.
The three Self-Defense Force members who stayed behind waited on the spot for members of the research institute and higher-level guard teams to come down. Due to special circumstances, they also needed to report the situation here.
In the base, if a superpower goes out of control or a situation occurs that the Self-Defense Forces cannot resolve, it is necessary to report to the higher authorities in a timely manner.
Because Gu Tongwan was the first person to fight the spontaneously combusting man, she couldn't leave for the time being and had to stay and cooperate with the follow-up investigation.
