Chapter 877
Qinyi Technology is very retro at certain moments, or it can be said that they tend to use simpler ways to create the same effect.
This is probably similar to the idea of advanced programmers optimizing code-it is always to achieve this result, why is the process so lengthy?
"Scale Man" is full of this invisible arrogance and confidence from the first second.
In the medium shot, the crowd is bustling. The nearest pedestrian is only the part from the shoulder to the thigh in the screen frame. The near, far and small in the human eye are 100% restored, so that at this moment some people were slightly startled. Because they, as viewers, did not wear any 3D glasses, these passers-by walking around seemed to be right in front of them, and the nearest ones were not even half a meter away.
Although it is only a small detail, it suddenly improves people's perception.
In a sense, the naked eye is always the most real.
The camera zooms out, following the movement of a couple holding hands, and the entire scene is revealed in the background.
Sure enough, it's a corner of the mall. There are street lights and public green plants a few meters apart on the flat streets. On both sides of the road, there are clothing stores with exquisite windows, or dessert and snack shops with long queues at the door. In the distance, there are fashionable high-rise buildings with large screens and Advertising lights show close-ups of celebrities' bright smiling faces, which are no different from the bustling cities in reality.
But the difference is that the city in the picture overall presents a strange sense of technology. For example, under the blue sky, several ring-shaped "belts" linger or intersperse near tall buildings. When the camera advances, it is discovered that these are actually water, clear, gurgling, and suspended in the sky.
A river in the sky?
Just as I was surprised, a not too harsh whistle sounded, and a long train whizzed past the wide water, stirring up clear water splashes along the way.
In the close-up, the scene seems to be slowed down, and the water droplets reflect the crystal light in the dazzling sunlight.
The perspective moved again, stopping at the sentry box not far from the river, and the electronic screen next to the sentry box.
【Quangui Line 4】
[New Century Commercial Center North Gate Station]
[You can transfer to Line 1 and Line 3 at this station]
subway? !
No, no, no, Sky Metro? Water iron? Light Rail? ...quanrail!
Lin Rou and others couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw this scene for the first time.
Naked-eye 3D makes the water splash directly into people's eyes, almost giving the illusion of being hit.
What kind of technology is it to use water as a track to build intra-city transportation lines? How many resources do you have?
Is this an era of highly developed civilization? High-tech future city?
Five seconds.
In just five seconds, "Scale Man" has brought the audience into this mysterious and fantastic world.
"It's so annoying. There have been more blood-sucking worms recently, and my arms are so itchy from the bites..."
The couple was still chatting, and the girl was complaining about everyday things.
The two sat down at a restaurant's outdoor seating and perused the menu. Suddenly, the surrounding crowd became restless, and many people stood up or looked up to the sky amid the exclamations.
Several long white lines streaked across the clear blue sky, and what led to these trailing clouds were not airplanes or flying cars, but several powerful and capable mechas.
"Ah, it's the special search and rescue team!"
The boy in the couple showed admiration in his eyes, and his girlfriend also looked at him. Although his fingers still subconsciously scratched the itch on his elbow, the slight irritation on his face disappeared and was replaced by a smile with a sense of security.
"Wow, he's so handsome~"
As soon as she finished her smiling voice, the big screen outside the shopping mall across the street suddenly changed from a celebrity advertisement to a news broadcast.
"The latest news is that the 'Raging Scale Party' launched a terrorist attack on a suburban hospital. The special search and rescue team set out immediately to rescue the trapped people."
The news anchor in a suit had a serious face and spoke clearly, "During this week, the general public is requested to stay away from suburban hospitals and their surrounding areas. If the area is close to where you work and live, please call the police hotline as soon as possible to obtain assistance……"
The crowd's chatter turned from excitement to disgust.
"Why don't those guys stop?"
The girl in the couple frowned again and scratched her arm with her fingertips, "It will be fine if we cooperate with the treatment-"
"Ha, maybe he is a psychopath. He feels that society is unfair and he is miserable."
Her boyfriend shook his head, "If you're sick, go get it treated. Why are you being anti-social? - Ah, charcoal-grilled veal steak, medium rare, and a glass of orange juice, thank you. Where are you, honey?"
"Well, let me think about it..."
The waiter was still standing next to the two people waiting with the order machine, when suddenly a scream broke through the lively atmosphere.
The couple were both surprised.
"That's her!"
"Don't come close! Be careful of getting infected!"
"Where's the phone?! Call the special search and rescue team!"
Screams rang out one after another, and the voice was full of panic. A young girl crossed her arms and ran away desperately, still wearing the work uniform of a milk tea shop.
The weather was sunny and hot, but she was wearing long sleeves and long trousers, which made her look out of place among the cool-dressed people around her.
A close-up shot showed the girl's neck exposed under her hair flying as she ran.
There is a cluster of fine and dense hard scales on it.
"ah!!!"
The girl in the couple screamed and jumped out of her chair, as did everyone around her.
"Yes, it's the Scale Man——!"
Panic screams immediately resounded throughout the commercial street. The employees of the milk tea shop, known as "Scale Man," stumbled forward, and the dense crowds of people they passed screamed and fled, and no one dared to stop them.
"Is there anyone left in the special search and rescue team?"
"I, I, I was so close to her just now! Help, you can't infect me!"
"Why aren't the guards here?"
"Isn't this the uniform of Yoyo Milk Tea? It's so disgusting. I just drank their milk tea... Ugh!"
"Did she spit in the side just now? Everyone, please stay away!"
Amidst the commotion, the young girl's expression became more and more painful. She gritted her teeth and ran forward with red eyes. She was speechless and didn't know where she was going.
The camera panned sharply, then zoomed up after a slight freeze, and her figure appeared on the edge of the high rooftop. Her petite figure could not block the sunlight shining above her head and behind her. Most of her body was exposed to the sun, as if she had been put on a hot oil pan, and her skin was burning and painful.
what to do……
The girl trembled, her eyes trembling in her sockets.
Woo——
There was a sound of wind, and the heavy mecha landed lightly at a speed completely inconsistent with its shape. The hatch in the middle opened smoothly, revealing the face of the person.
This is a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, frizzy hair piled on his head, and he looks like a reckless fool, but his expression is very serious at this time.
"Madam, don't panic! All you have to do now is cooperate with the treatment!"
He did not approach rashly, and although his voice was loud, it did not contain any scolding or hatred, "I am Pan Hong from the special search and rescue team. Don't be afraid, I will take you to a hospital exclusively for human beings! I know that you have not hurt anyone!" "
Pan Hong's words, especially the last one, effectively calmed the girl's emotions. She sobbed and looked over here hesitantly.
"It's okay, it's okay, trust me."
Pan Hong actually jumped out of the mecha and walked towards her wearing only a powered exoskeleton.
Open, sincere, and unguarded.
"Don't be afraid." He said seriously, and suddenly made a few awkward gestures, "Have you seen that billboard? That's Mr. Yan Bing! The governor of our New Century City! The greatest philanthropist and Doctor! He will help you until you recover - not long ago there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony for him to establish the Scale Man Rescue Foundation on TV. Have you seen it? Do you remember?"
Pan Hong's bright eyes and eager words startled the girl. She followed his words and turned to look. There was a bust of a middle-aged man printed on the huge billboard. The man was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He has some gray hair on his temples, and he looks like a gentle scholar rather than a shrewd and cunning politician.
That is the governor of New Century City and the patron saint of the people, Yan Bing.
Perhaps she was touched by Yan Bing's sincere eyes, or perhaps Pan Hong's friendliness and concern played a role. The girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then took back her steps towards Pan Hong and tentatively walked in Pan Hong's direction.
"My name is... Shu Zhen." She whispered, "I just work in a milk tea shop. I didn't hurt anyone..."
"Yeah, yeah, of course I know!"
Pan Hong nodded quickly and looked a little silly. He stretched out his hand to Shu Zhen. The latter pursed his lips and smiled. He was about to raise his hand when he suddenly remembered something and his movements froze.
She took a step back suddenly, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Yan Bing on the billboard again, with a panicked look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Pan Hong looked at Shu Zhen confused.
"I……"
Cold sweat trickled down from Shu Zhen's forehead. She wanted to open her mouth, but at this moment, a violent "whoosh" sound mixed with a loud bang intervened in the conversation between the two with absolute force.
The camera suddenly raised!
A black heavy motorcycle jumped out from the sky, its body filled with bright red-purple flames, and tongues of flame danced wildly.
A dazzling halo suddenly bloomed behind the heavy motorcycle and the rider. From an absolute upward angle, the audience felt that the roaring wheels of the motorcycle were going to crush their faces mercilessly.
A group of exclamations and neighs of excitement were clearly suppressed in the cinema.
"Watch out!"
Pan Hong's figure flashed suddenly, and when the uninvited guest smashed him down with his car, he quickly picked up Shu Zhen and moved it to the other side of the rooftop, even leaving an afterimage for a few milliseconds.
呲——
The drifting sound was sharp and frightening, and the motorcycle wiped out conspicuous white marks on the roof of the rooftop. Fire flowed to the ground, and it was still drifting wildly even after it made an emergency stop.
Smoke, flames, the camera moves from bottom to top, a long leg hangs out from the side of the ferocious heavy motorcycle, the patent leather tights wrap the tall body of the visitor, and then upward, a slender arm takes off the motorcycle helmet, and the pale hair falls on it. Flying in the wind, under the messy bangs is a handsome and stunning baby face. He has a cold expression, and his white hair and skin contrast sharply with the black clothes and leather gloves.
Pan Hong's expression immediately turned cold, and his eyebrows were raised fiercely.
He stared intently at the guy opposite who seemed to be born from the flames, focusing his gaze on the man's left eye.
There, there is a small diamond-shaped scale.
The same position is placed on the face of the circus clown, which is the colorful tear-stained makeup, for the purpose of being funny and making people laugh.
But on this man's face, the hard scales on one side only made him colder and tougher, like an undoubted mark, sharp and beautiful.
Another scaly man.
Still a dangerous scale man who can freely control supernatural powers.
Pan Hong's muscles and nerves were tense at the same time, but after the man on the motorcycle met him, he raised his hand without saying a word.
A bright flame suddenly ignited from his fingertips, and the flames rushed towards them like a snake. Then the engine roared again, and the opponent suddenly crashed in the direction of Pan Hong and Shu Zhen!
"Tsk!"
Pan Hong realized the man's unreserved aggression and immediately acted accordingly. He gently pushed Shu Zhen away and retreated quickly.
The sound of "chi" sounded again, and the white-haired young man and his car suddenly drew a white arc between the two people, and then a wall of fire rose up, and the flames shot into the sky!
The rapid cutting of the storyboards, the large bird's-eye view and side shots make people's adrenaline soar. Under the naked-eye 3D effect, the harsh firelight is reflected in the eyes of the audience, almost making people roar loudly to vent their excitement at this moment. .
Then, before anyone could react, the heavy motorcycle crashed into Pan Hong again, with such ferocity that murderous intent was written on his face.
Pan Hong's face turned cold, and he took out two cold blue guns from his exoskeleton with his backhand. The gunshots sounded like heavy rain, but the bullets were involuntarily engulfed in flames. At most, they only condensed into a few pieces of ice in mid-air. piece.
He seemed to hear a sneer, and an angry look suddenly appeared on his face. He activated the highly mobile exoskeleton to jump high, and the two pistols clicked and deformed into a bright silver spear in his hand.
Another overlooking camera, Pan Hong stabs down with a gun!
The heavy locomotive roared and rolled diagonally towards the ground. The black car had red flames and white hair. It even melted into a ball of abstract colors like an oil painting at the top speed. The flames jumped violently and disorderly, and it was extremely dangerous to avoid the cold light. The tip of the spear.
Soon enough, the young man leaned forward and pressed hard with his hands. The tail wing of the motorcycle was raised high and turned 180 degrees in the air. The fire was blazing and rushed towards the door in front of Pan Hong, blocking his sight and path.
In another second, the camera cuts to Shu Zhen's perspective, and the heavy motorcycle rushes straight out of the wall of fire!
"ah,--"
Shu Zhen's soft cry lasted only the first half of the sentence. A ghostly black shadow flashed past. The white-haired young man stopped her and lifted her into the car. The wind was howling, the engine roared, and the scene suddenly appeared in a breathless fast pace. Slow down for a second, and the storyboard slowly moves from the front to the overlook.
From a condescending perspective, the ground is far away and narrow, and the scattered pedestrians are as small as ants. The nearly vertical downward view makes people breathe quickly, their heartbeats quicken, and their legs even become weak.
Outside the screen, even Lin Rou, who had become accustomed to the ice ladder, felt a strong dizziness. She couldn't help but lean back and felt more secure when her back was pressed against the back of the chair.
Then, the slow-motion playback on the big screen suddenly disappeared. The white-haired young man held the handle with one hand, put the helmet on Shu Zhen's head with the other hand, and rushed down from the high platform with her in his arms!
The camera zoomed out at an extremely fast speed, and the high-rise buildings reflected sunlight, and a fierce flame jumped ninety degrees across the surface of the building as if it were alive. It was dangerous, crazy, and extremely exciting.
"ah……!"
Someone in the audience finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and their low voices were trembling.
Like a switch, the sound of loud breathing echoed one after another in the screening room.
"Wha, damn it!"
The wall of fire disappeared, and Pan Hong, who had reacted, rushed to the edge of the rooftop and looked down, gritting his teeth and shaking his fist.
Just when he was angry, a rapid ringing sounded, which was the communicator on the mecha.
The scene changed, and the couple who had appeared before sat back on the outdoor seats. Both of them were frightened and looked disgusted.
"It's so annoying, why are you running around!"
The girl's face still showed the panic just now, and she scratched her arms harder and harder, as if to vent her anger.
"People from the special search team are already there." The boyfriend also exhaled, "It's really scary. What happened to the owner of Yoyo Milk Tea Shop? I hope he didn't cover it up on purpose... ah."
His expression suddenly changed, and his whole body was shaking, so violently that it even made the table and the dishes and knives and forks on the table jingle.
"What's the matter?"
The girl was still a little irritable. She lowered her eyes and said "Yeah!"
The screen showed a close-up, and the tip of the finger she was scratching her arm was stained with blood.
"Oh, why did I scratch myself and bleed?"
The girl was secretly upset and was about to look for tissues from her bag, but her eyes suddenly froze.
Because a group of hard and ferocious scales suddenly appeared on her elbow.
"me……"
The girl froze in place, her face pale and full of fear. She subconsciously looked to her boyfriend for help, but the other man screamed and crawled back.
This incident made more passers-by pay attention to this place, and screams once again filled the entire street.
“There’s another one here!!!”
People pointed at the girl and shouted in panic, and the chaos was repeated again. Everyone, including the waiters in the restaurant, backed away. The customers who were also sitting outside ran faster than anyone else.
For almost five seconds, there was no one around the girl.
"No, don't, I..."
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked around helplessly, but she only met a pair of frightened and hateful eyes.
The girl tried to get up from her seat, but as soon as she moved, everyone who was staring at her retreated in panic, as if they were looking at a bomb wrapped in foul-smelling muddy water.
"Qiangqiang——"
The girl called out to her boyfriend with a trembling voice, but the viciousness came and shattered her spirit.
"Don't come here yet!"
Lu Qiang waved his hands in panic and stammered, "Don't move yet. I'll contact the search and rescue team right now. It's okay. It will...it will be okay! Cooperate with the treatment!"
The girl had never seen her boyfriend look so frightened and disgusted now. She opened her mouth and tears fell down.
"do not Cry!"
Lu Qiang shouted loudly, "Body fluids are contagious...don't cry! Please!"
The girl nodded desperately, but she couldn't stop her tears. She could only cover the lower half of her face to block the sobs.
Not long after, Pan Hong landed from the sky in a mecha.
"Don't be afraid, I'm from the special search and rescue team. I'm here." He showed his face again and tried his best to comfort the panicked scale man.
"You need to stop the bleeding. Come on, give me your hand... put on this mask, okay? Slow down, don't be in a hurry, uh-huh, I'll take you to isolation and to the hospital."
The mecha is like a high wall of security, which largely calms the unrest nearby. Lu Qiang finally came to his senses and said incoherently:
"No, it's okay. I will call your parents. Leave it to me. You...you have to cooperate with the treatment. You must cooperate with the treatment and don't run around."
The girl nodded "woo woo". The lower half of her face was completely covered by a mask, and the upper half of her face was covered with transparent protective glasses. The arm with bleeding scales and the other hand with bloody fingertips were both firmly covered Locked in thick shackles like a "sleeve" - blood is the most dangerous route of infection, and Pan Hong dare not neglect it.
"The guards will be here soon!"
Pan Hong said loudly, "Everyone, please stay away from here for now! Restaurant owners, employees and guests, please wait in the store and don't walk around! I repeat, don't walk around!"
A rectangular crack opened on the back of his mecha, and then, a container as tall as a person protruded from it.
"Come in, I'll take you to the hospital." Pan Hong's voice was gentle on the speaker.
"well……"
The girl walked in tremblingly and looked in the direction of her boyfriend again.
The other party had lowered his head and did not dare to look at her again.
The mecha flew away with the container, and the sky was still blue and clear.
Two large characters slowly emerged in the center of the screen like burning flames.
"Scale Man".
5400+, so happy.
