While talking, Hal and Anan came to the location of the third explosion.

This is a remote alley. The strong aftermath of the explosion was more than ten times stronger than what Hal encountered that time. It directly destroyed more than a dozen houses. Thick smoke and dust mixed with a heat wave hit us head-on, making people breathless. A tight.

Still burning in the flames, visible to the naked eye were charred bodies and broken sofas.

The cries, shouts, curses, etc. from the crowd below were mixed together. In front of the blazing and dazzling firelight, it was like purgatory on earth.

There was no time for sadness to appear.

at this time.

The thundering sound of the fourth explosion resounded across the sky. Hal and Anan's expressions changed drastically. They turned their heads suddenly and felt as if their brains had been hit hard.

The place where the fourth explosion occurred was the restaurant where they were staying before.

"Feng!"

"Sonia!"

"Silena!" Hal shouted, ignoring Anan, and quickly ran towards the restaurant.

"Tell them to go back, they should be fine."

Although he was comforting himself in his heart, Hal could vaguely guess that when he came out, he was so crowded by the crowd that he had to jump to the top of the building to move. It was more likely that Silena and the three of them would stay where they were and wait for the crowd to subside before leaving. big.

At this moment, unprecedented panic and fear appeared in his heart.

In the past, no matter how powerful an opponent he faced, he could handle it calmly.

No matter how big the difficulty is, he can calmly think about how to deal with it.

But this time, his mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything more, or in other words, he didn't dare to think about it.

He moved at the fastest speed ever since he obtained the Devil Fruit ability, and a moment later, the exploding restaurant finally appeared in front of him.

The originally beautifully decorated restaurant was gone and turned into a ruin. There was a lot of fire inside and no one was around. Outside the ruins was a group of people who were not busy running for their lives but were still pointing.

Hal's heart tightened suddenly.

He didn't see Silena or the other three in the crowd.

Panic enveloped him once again, making him breathless.

After falling to the ground, Hal couldn't wait to stand firm and immediately rushed into the burning ruins. He didn't even think about opening the snake scale armor, pushing away the burning broken wood with his body and peeling away the hot embers.

The flames burned his skin, the hot embers burned his hands red, and the heat mixed with smoke and dust penetrated into his chest, making him unable to stop coughing. He didn't care at all.

Just rummaging and searching over and over again.

"Zoya, Silena, Afeng..." He shouted the names of the three of them, but there was no response from the ruins, only the chatter of the crowd outside.

"Hal, we're here."

At this time, a vague shout came into my ears.

He stopped when he was about to peel off a piece of wood, and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. Outside the ruins, he saw Silena, Sil Soya, and Afeng squeezed out from the crowd of onlookers and walked towards He waved.

"you……"

He rushed out of the ruins with the flames spurting around his body, took off his suit that was about to be burned by the flames, and ran towards Syl Sawyer and the other three.

Holding the three of them tightly in his arms, Hal's heart was beating rapidly, his eye circles were dry and red, and he let out a feeling of depression in his heart.

Just now, he experienced the feeling of losing them, it was a suffocating feeling.

"Thank God you're still here."

"It's okay, don't worry, we're fine." Sil Sawyer hugged Hal tightly and comforted softly.

A few more people walked out of the crowd of onlookers. When they saw the four Hals hugging each other tightly, they stepped forward and said, "What a critical moment, Mr. Colonel."

Hal let go of them, looked up at the person who spoke, and found that he was actually the guests eating here together, the four strong men with tattoos.

They came smiling and already knew Hal's identity.

"They evacuated the guests in the restaurant, so it was just the restaurant that was blown up and no one was injured." Silena explained for Hal.

Hal took a deep look at the four strong men and said gratefully: "Thank you very much."

"Please don't say such things. It's an honor for us to be able to contribute to the navy captain." These four rough-looking strong men spoke very politely, making Hal have to wonder about their gangster identities.

At this time, Anan, who was following behind, also jumped down from the roof and hugged Ah Feng tightly with tears streaming down his face.

Even Hal felt suffocated. He didn't have Hal's concentration. He broke down and cried countless times on the way here.

"You have known for a long time that there is a bomb here." Hal stared closely at the four strong men. He still remembered that the four people said "not here" when they left, and later evacuated the guests in advance. He obviously knew a lot of inside information. .

Facing Hal's question, the four of them seemed to have no idea of ​​answering here. They looked into the distance and replied: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We don't know how many places will be bombed, and we don't know their purpose." , anyway, let’s stop them first.”

After the four people finished speaking, they got into the crowd again. Hal wanted to stop them, but the other party not only helped him, but also saved many civilians. He had no reason to stop the four people.

At least Hal had the same idea as them. This matter was so big that it was far from over.

Seeing that Sil and Zoya were also in a very embarrassed state, Hal couldn't bear to let Anan follow him anymore, so he said to Anan: "You and Silena escort them back together. If you find any suspicious person who threatens you on the way, you can Kill them all.”

Seeing Anan nod, Hal hugged Syl Sawyer and the three of them tightly before jumping onto the roof again.

The flames of the four explosions shot into the sky, and Hal stood on the roof with an extremely cold expression.

He was not in a hurry to go to any place. He looked at the explosion locations and fell into thinking.

"If the purpose of creating this explosion is just to cause panic among the people, then there is no need to disperse it and concentrate it in one place. The explosion will affect a wider range and cause greater panic."

"Is it just for fun?" He immediately gave up this idea. The gangster who can stay in the Eastern Military Region and survive all year round is definitely not the kind of brainless idiot.

Such a big movement tonight will definitely attract the king's attention, and their life will definitely be difficult by then, and it will never be done casually.

Thinking of this, he looked at the four explosion locations again, one in each of the four directions: southeast, northeast, northwest and southwest.

"Where will this be next?" Hal looked straight ahead. This direction was facing the aristocratic area. It was also one of the few entrances and exits between the aristocratic area and the civilian area after being separated by the wall. Therefore, the commercial development of this area was far away. Beyond other places.

What is particularly important is that there is a place in this area that controls the lifeblood of a large number of wealthy businessmen.

"That's it!" Hal's eyes were electric and he stepped forward.

After Hal left, Anan and Silena were afraid of other situations and did not dare to delay any longer, so they escorted Syl Sawyer to her villa in the aristocratic area.

The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Behind the crowd, the four strong men did not leave. It was not until Syl Sawyer and others left that they started talking to each other.

"Do you want to continue? It seems that we don't need to take action anymore. I can feel that the colonel is very strong and looks very angry. He will definitely give Colliver a good drink."

"I don't know. Anyway, we will take it easy."

"Alas, Miss Syl Sawyer was actually involved this time. I don't know how angry the old man will be when he finds out. Colliver this time..."

"He would have died a long time ago, if he hadn't been lucky enough to eat a devil fruit."

"Forget it, no matter what the outcome is, he brought it upon himself. We were all brothers once, so don't add insult to injury again."

"You are still speaking for him, have you forgotten that Collier once used you as a shield?"

"Let's follow him first and take a look. This colonel seems to be an easy person to get along with. Maybe we can cooperate with him."
