Chapter 463: Chapter 223 Invasion from Outside Enemies_3 Chapter 463: Chapter 223 Invasion from Outside Enemies_3 Lu Pingping's first thought was that an earthquake had hit Shanghai, but when she looked outside, she saw that the lights were still blazing in the city, and a building next to Dream Tower was also brightly lit, with no power outage. Moreover, people on the streets were calm and composed, without the panic that accompanies an earthquake.
Confused, Lu Pingping wondered what that loud noise had been. Why was Dream Tower shaking so violently? And why had only Dream Tower lost power? Given that Dream Tower has its own backup power supply system, which would kick in during a citywide outage to keep the tower energized, the current situation was very strange. There was no city power outage, yet Dream Tower had lost power, and the backup system hadn't activated.
Then, Lu Pingping looked down at the base of Dream Tower, wanting to find out what had happened below. That's when she saw a strange person climbing up the wall of the building, illuminated by the neon lights of the neighboring building.
Due to the distance, Lu Pingping couldn't make out the person's features, but she could see that the individual was climbing at an incredibly fast pace. With a single bound, the climber could leap more than ten meters up, almost like Spiderman in a movie. In a brief period, this person had scaled over two hundred meters.
After spotting this strange individual, Lu Pingping knew something was wrong. She quickly picked up the office phone, intending to call Security to find out what was happening. To her surprise, she was greeted with a busy tone. She pressed the button several times, but all she heard was the same busy signal–clear evidence that the landline was not working.
In that short span, the figure on the wall had reached the 43rd floor, outside of Lu Pingping's office window. It was as if the intruder had the ability to see in the dark, for through the external glass, he saw Lu Pingping's shocked face. With one punch, he struck the window, which emitted a loud “bang,” and the highly durable bulletproof glass shattered instantly. Amidst the scattering shards, the person jumped into Lu Pingping's office.
The moment Lu Pingping saw the person about to strike the window, she instinctively raised her hands to protect her face. But she was too slow; the intruder quickly smashed the window, sending glass fragments flying in all directions, one of which cut Lu Pingping's face. She was immediately drenched in blood, looking quite horrific.
The intruder in Lu Pingping's office was a man dressed oddly, his attire almost identical to a movie ninja. This black-clad ninja charged forward as soon as he entered the room, aiming to capture the injured Lu Pingping.
Right then, an angry roar came from outside the room, and the office door was suddenly blown apart. A massive silhouette burst in, throwing a punch at the black-clad ninja's face.
The ninja sensed the danger and immediately abandoned Lu Pingping, spinning around and sending his fist towards the giant's face. However, the giant shifted his fist, and both fists collided with a surge of energy radiating from the center of the impact. The shockwave sent the room's items flying, shattering them.
After the blow, both parties stepped back, though the ninja retreated further, seemingly at a slight disadvantage in terms of strength, while the giant took only one step back before steadying himself.
