Chapter 209: Accident, The Collapsed Bridge
Ka ka ka~!
The wind was getting stronger and stronger.
Strong in an unnatural way.
When did Da Jiang City ever have typhoon weather?
Beep beep~!
A huge horn blared.
Lin Qian turned back to look. Somehow, a dump truck had driven onto the bridge.
It was one of those large dump trucks.
“I feel like something’s off.”
The young man who was the leader was still shouting, but most people didn’t take it seriously.
The young man was running very fast, as if he was really escaping for his life.
Lin Qian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Suddenly, a chilling sensation appeared.
Wang Xiaoqiang also sensed something wrong and quickly looked toward the bridge deck.
In the noisy environment, no one noticed.
At the spot on the bridge deck where the crack had appeared, the crack suddenly made a dull sound.
Immediately after, the crack suddenly spread forward.
Accidents always come so suddenly.
The bridge deck suddenly cracked open.
The steel cable snapped abruptly.
The center of the bridge collapsed directly.
The screams only lasted an instant.
Vehicles and pedestrians fell down.
Wang Xiaoqiang frowned slightly. The entire bridge was collapsing at an extremely fast speed.
The bridge deck tilted rapidly, with steel cables snapping one after another.
Wang Xiaoqiang reacted quickly, planning to activate his ghost domain to take Lin Qian and leave.
It was just an accident. The bridge deck collapsing—this kind of damage wasn’t a fatal threat to a ghost controller.
Even a nuclear explosion would hardly kill a ghost controller.
But not dying didn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt.
Moreover, getting caught up in it wasn’t a good thing.
Bang~!
A steel cable snapped and whipped down directly.
Nearby, a panicked man running alone was struck directly.
Bang. A dull sound rang out, and the man’s head exploded.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s pupils contracted slightly. The man’s corpse fell to the ground.
The bridge deck had already collapsed to where he was.
Time was running out. Wang Xiaoqiang immediately activated his ghost domain.
But the next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he suddenly looked at Lin Qian.
“My supernatural power is suppressed!”
Hearing this, Lin Qian’s expression darkened slightly.
“Jump down!”
Without any hesitation, the two stepped to the edge of the bridge and jumped outward.
Bang bang~!
All the steel cables snapped.
The bridge fell toward the water surface like unsupported building blocks.
The feeling of weightlessness wasn’t so wonderful.
In midair, Lin Qian and Wang Xiaoqiang saw people dying one after another.
Desperate shouts kept ringing out.
“Accident!”
Lin Qian suddenly realized something.
The water surface was getting closer. Bang, the two hit the water and quickly floated up.
But as soon as they surfaced, they regretted it.
Their heads were covered by a patch of shadow.
The two looked up. A dump truck was falling right toward them.
“Dive!”
Without any hesitation, the two sank directly.
But it was still a step too late.
Bang~!
A loud bang rang out.
The water surface exploded.
The dump truck blasted through the water surface like a boulder and sank down.
Wang Xiaoqiang couldn’t dodge in time and was pulled down by the suction from the dump truck.
Lin Qian was the same.
The chaotic sounds in his ears left him disoriented.
But Lin Qian quickly knew what he should do.
He looked toward Wang Xiaoqiang spiraling downward, keeping watch.
Soon, the suction disappeared, and Wang Xiaoqiang got a buffer.
Lin Qian swam over quickly. Wang Xiaoqiang’s face was flushed red, with river water continuously pouring into his mouth and nose.
Seeing this, Lin Qian knew Wang Xiaoqiang was about to suffocate.
It was ridiculous—a ghost controller actually suffocating.
Lin Qian grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang and didn’t float up immediately.
Vehicles and people fell down one after another.
The water surface boomed repeatedly, exploding over and over.
Lin Qian pulled Wang Xiaoqiang and swam quickly toward the distance.
While observing the situation on the water surface.
The commotion gradually stopped.
Waves churned on the water surface.
Lin Qian glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang. The other had already started rolling his eyes.
The suppressed supernatural power hadn’t recovered yet.
Lin Qian knew he couldn’t hesitate any longer. He immediately pulled Wang Xiaoqiang toward the water surface.
Whoosh~!
Surfacing, Lin Qian breathed in big gulps.
Then he dragged Wang Xiaoqiang up and slapped him twice. “Breathe, quick.”
Wang Xiaoqiang showed no reaction, still rolling his eyes.
Lin Qian frowned and looked around.
The water surface gradually turned bright red.
Corpses floated to the surface.
The accident seemed to be over.
But Lin Qian always felt it wasn’t over yet.
Lin Qian couldn’t worry about that now. He quickly swam toward the shore.
But he hadn’t swum far when a huge bang rang out.
Lin Qian whipped his head back.
The water surface suddenly exploded, with flames shooting into the sky.
The blasted river water fell back rapidly.
The range was enormous.
Lin Qian sniffed. “Damn, gasoline!”
There was a tanker truck on the bridge!
Flames burned across the entire water surface.
Spreading rapidly toward the surroundings.
Lin Qian glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang.
Without daring to delay, he quickly swam toward the shore.
But the flames spread extremely fast.
They were about to cover over.
Lin Qian gritted his teeth and pulled Wang Xiaoqiang down directly.
Flames covered the entire river surface.
Fire in the water—this was the first time encountering it.
But at this moment, it wasn’t a shocking spectacle, but a deadly disaster.
Whoosh~!
Lin Qian crawled onto the shore gasping for breath, then hurriedly dragged Wang Xiaoqiang up.
Even though he was very tired now, he didn’t dare stop to rest.
He hurriedly began emergency aid on Wang Xiaoqiang.
Under Lin Qian’s chest compressions, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly threw his head back and spat out a large mouthful of river water.
Then he collapsed on the ground, breathing in big gulps.
Seeing this, Lin Qian lay weakly on the ground and also started breathing heavily.
Corpses burned in the flames.
The scene was shocking and tragic.
Lin Qian swallowed, sat up, and looked at the river surface now.
They say water and fire are ruthless. Now these two things had come together.
Fire people struggled on the water surface.
Underwater you’d drown, surfacing you’d burn.
Either way, it was death.
Wang Xiaoqiang had also recovered by now.
He was still very weak:
“President, what’s going on here?”
As a ghost controller, he had nearly drowned.
Lin Qian’s expression fluctuated. “Ghost. A ghost has targeted us.”
“The ghost from Coffin Village hasn’t been dealt with. The one Xu Zhou handled was a different one. The source hasn’t been resolved.”
Accident. This kind of large-scale accident might not seem like an issue.
But the two ghost controllers had their supernatural powers directly suppressed. That was already wrong.
Accident. From what he knew, the similar ghost they’d encountered recently was the one from Coffin Village.
Wang Xiaoqiang’s expression instantly darkened, staring fixedly at the river surface.
Suddenly, a person appeared beside the two.
Lin Qian and Wang Xiaoqiang looked over. It was actually Lu Lin.
“I got a police report that the big bridge here collapsed. Your locations overlapped with here, so I came right away.”
Lu Lin looked at the two with a strange expression. “Didn’t use supernatural power?”
The two were soaked through, clearly having fallen into the river.
It was understandable that Lin Qian hadn’t used supernatural power, but why hadn’t Wang Xiaoqiang activated his ghost domain?
“Suppressed.”
Wang Xiaoqiang said.
Lu Lin instantly realized this was a supernatural event.
Ghost domain rapidly covered the entire river surface.
The flames went out.
“No supernatural detected.”
The moment the flames went out, Lin Qian and Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly felt their own supernatural powers recover.
Supernatural power could be used now.
The injuries on Wang Xiaoqiang’s body automatically began to heal.
The clothes on his body also quickly dried.
Lin Qian spat out a mouthful of river water, his gaze flickering.
“Contact Huo Tan and ask about the situation there.”
Hearing this, Lu Lin guessed something. “Okay.”
