"90%. The perpetrator does not seems to be conscious of this area. There aren"t any obstacles, and the distance from the hostages is over ten meters. Should we give it a try?"
Jing Xin took a few puffs of his cigarette before tossing it onto the ground and saying viciously, "Let him shoot. If he makes the hit, I"ll personally award him with a medal."
From the rooftop of a building 300 meters away from Fang Tian Corporation, a sniper looked at Fang Xingjian through his sniper scope and let out a long breath while continuously stroking the trigger with his finger.
At the next moment, his finger pressed down fiercely, and a bullet short out with a blaze from the gun barrel. It tore through the air at a speed of over three times that of sound and headed for Fang Xingjian"s chest.
However, the imagined scene in which Fang Xingjian was shot down did not happen. Through his scope, the sniper even saw Fang Xingjian turn his head and smile at him. Then the sniper immediately lost all of his consciousness.
Outside the building, the bullet stopped in the air for half a second before plunging down toward the ground.
From his office, Jing Xin said in disbelief, "The sniper fainted? Did he shoot?"
"He did, but it seems that he didn"t make the hit," the a.s.sistant said, seeming a little doubtful.
"Trash," Jing Xin said furiously, "Didn"t he say that he has a 90% certainty? Why didn"t he make the hit despite that?"
Just then, a cell phone"s ringtone rang out.
Jing Xin shouted in fury, "Whose cell phone is that? Didn"t I say to switch off all cell phones?"
An a.s.sistant pointed to the table with some hesitation, "Boss, it seems to be yours."
"Hmmm?" Jing Xin remembered that he should have already switched off his cell phone. He walked over and picked it up to realize that it had been switched on.
Without him doing anything, the call was put through.
Jing Xin looked at this scene in a daze until Fang Xingjian"s voice rang out.
"h.e.l.lo, please look outside."
"Outside."
Jing Xin was stunned for a moment. Then he walked up to the window and opened it with a swoosh . He fell into a daze, and the cell phone he was holding dropped to the ground with a thud.
The entire building of the Fang Tian Corporation had completely disappeared from its original location.
At the center of the city, the Fang Tian Corporation, which had a total of 30 floors, was floating in the air at a height of over 1,000 meters above ground. It was like a G.o.d that was mocking the uselessness of mere mortals.
Jing Xin retreated a few steps. His countenance was slightly pale as he asked, "What the h.e.l.l is this?"
A few other members of his team walked over. When they saw the floating Fang Tian Corporation, their eyes were all filled with astonishment.
They were not the only ones who were shocked. For something like this to be done in a large international city, uprooting an entire building, which had 30 floors and weighed several million tons, and making it float in the air...
More than several million people witnessed this scene. So, what kind of commotion did it cause?
Almost instantly, news of the floating building flooded the communication networks of the entire country. Then the news spread to Europe and America, and the rest of the world.
On the television, internet, and social media platforms... Almost everyone was going crazy.
"A floating stronghold has mysteriously appeared in SH City. Currently, no organizations have made any clarifications regarding it."
"A large building is floating in the sky at the center of the city. The government has yet to make any statements concerning this."
"President Trump claims that this is a latest weapon created by the other party."
A tremendous amount of video clips congested the internet.
On the streets, several hundred thousand people pulled out their cell phones, aimed toward the building in the sky, and pressed the shutter.
A young lady pouted her lips, posed with her two fingers up, and took a selfie with the floating building behind her.
Meanwhile, a few students laughed merrily as they took a ma.s.sive amount of photos of the building in the sky.
A reporter looked at the building in the sky excitedly. He urged the driver to drive faster while he continued to press the shutter of his camera crazily.
In an office, countless white-collar workers surrounded around a computer which was playing a video clip that someone had uploaded from their cell phone.
"Is this for real?"
"It must be using some special effects. How can something like this possibly happen?"
"It"s real. Check out Sina 1 ."
" NetEase 2 has released news too. There"s really a floating building."
In a school"s cla.s.sroom, a group of students were gathered together, gasping and screaming at the video clip they were watching through a phone.
"This is amazing. It"s someone with superpowers."
"I think it must be an alien."
"Idiot, it"s definitely a military weapon. How can there possibly be superpowers or aliens?"
At the dining table in an apartment, a man and a woman were having their meal. When they saw the floating building on the television, the utensils they were holding dropped to the floor without them realizing.
A huge crowd gathered behind the full-length gla.s.s window of an office building. Everyone pointed at the building that was floating in the sky, and the sounds of photos being taken with their phones rang out continuously.
Suddenly, a man pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look! It"s a fighter aircraft!"
Three fighter aircrafts brought about air currents as they move at supersonic speed, leaving behind three white trails behind them. They cut across the sky and pa.s.sed by the floating building.
"F*ck, it"s really something serious. Even the military forces has been activated."
"Is there going to be a war?"
"Let"s go home, go home. Why are we still staying here? Let"s quickly go home and hide."
While flying the aircraft, the pilot of one of the three fighter aircrafts turned his head to look at the floating building that was over 1,000 metres away. He exhaled and said, "What the heck is that?"
"There are no abnormalities. Requesting for permission to advance further."
Concurrently, a voice rang out next to his ear, "A230, permission granted for you to get within a 500-meter range from the building. Remember, do not attack without permission. Do not attack without permission."
With a swoosh , one of the fighter aircrafts moved closer toward the building.
Simultaneously, countless armored vehicles, trucks, and military troops rushed over to the ground below the Fang Tian Corporation"s building. The area within a range of five kilometers had been cleared off and marked as a military restricted zone.
Countless people were sent away from their homes, offices, and shops.
"What are you doing?! This is my home! I"m not going anywhere!"
"What are you guys still waiting for? Shoot quickly!"
"Mom!"
"My daughter has disappeared. Please, please help me find my daughter."
Amidst astonished cries and furious curses coming from the many buildings, the area eventually fell silent with the diminis.h.i.+ng number of people around.
The transmission rate of the internet in the modern society was far too astonis.h.i.+ng. It had been less than three hours since the building first floated up into the sky, but it had now garnered the attention of over two billion people across the entire world.
Countless television stations, internet websites and forums were rus.h.i.+ng to report or discuss about this matter.
Right now, in the office on the 30th floor of the Fang Tian Corporation, Fang Xingjian was still floating in midair with several laptops flying around him. His martial will had turned into a series of waves, gus.h.i.+ng into the electric wires, circuit boards, and internet cables. They were even directly connected with the wireless signals in the surroundings.
To begin with, the martial will of Divine level experts could enter deep into the microscopic world, so it was an easy feat for Fang Xingjian to invade into the electrical devices and computers.
This was how he had managed to contact the police through the phone earlier.
Right now, he was trying to browse through the information about him on the internet.
