Chapter 269: Too Lit, Too Explosive
"How could this be? Why do I feel that his music is full of intensity?"
Staring at Ye Fan on the stage, Wei Chen, hailed as the foremost of the new generation in the domestic piano world, was gradually becoming stupefied.
The Flight of the Bumblebee played by Ye Fan was just too ferocious, ferocious to a bizarre extent.
Each note seemed to not enter the ears but to bore into the brain, into the heart, causing a chilling terror and hair-raising fear.
It was on fire, truly on fire!
Exploding, it was truly exploding.
Under Ye Fan's performance, Wei Chen's whole body broke out in goosebumps; this level of mastery was far beyond his reach.
"Too terrible, this kid's musical prowess is too terrible!"
Many music masters at the concert were expressing amazement; they were all subdued by Ye Fan's musical prowess.
In their eyes, each of Ye Fan's notes was as torrential and fierce as a storm, uncontrollably making their hearts race and, during the climactic stages, giving them a feeling of almost suffocating.
"I can't take it anymore, I can't! Ahhh!!!"
A beautiful woman with a weak heart let out a loud cry, her face filled with horror as she fainted.
"I can't take it either!"
Following that, a middle-aged man howled and collapsed onto the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Quick, get them to the ambulance on standby!"
Seeing this scene, Wei Chen's eyelids twitched wildly.
Today was his national concert debut. To ensure everything went without a hitch, Wei Chen had already contacted the local hospital to prepare ambulances, ready to rescue any audience members who might suffer sudden illnesses.
"Oh my god!"
There were foreigners in the audience who exclaimed in shock upon seeing people fainting and falling ill due to Ye Fan's music.
"Horrible! It's really fucking horrible! Please stop playing, I'm about to throw up my breakfast!"
"Yes, yes! It's terrible, kid, didn't you see people fainting because of your awful music?"
"Ptooey! It's unbearably awful, get down from there right now!"
In the audience, there was no shortage of Wei Chen's die-hard fans seizing the opportunity to lash out at Ye Fan. Seeing people falling ill and being taken to ambulances, they took the chance to attack Ye Fan.
Buzz buzz!
Buzz buzz buzz buzz!
As they were criticizing Ye Fan, a buzzing sound of bees began to fill everyone's ears, and from the concert windows, large numbers of bees had somehow flown in.
Ten! A hundred!
A thousand!
In the blink of an eye, at least a thousand bees had swarmed into the concert from outside.
"Fuck! Bees, where did these bees come from? Am I hallucinating?"
"Bees, really bees, am I seeing this right?"
"Oh, dear me! Did this kid's rendition of Flight of the Bumblebee actually attract real bees?"
At this moment, seeing the huge influx of bees into the concert, Wei Chen's loyal fans were all stunned and bewildered.
Some were even so shocked that their mouths hung agape, their jaws nearly shattering on the floor.
"It's bees, actual bees!" Wei Shixian also cried out in horror.
"Playing one tune and stirring the bees! Isn't this kid just too abnormal?"
Seeing this scene, many of the music masters internally felt a surge of shock and awe.
They knew that the bees they had seen earlier were due to the artistic conception of Ye Fan's performance, that the overwhelming swarms were illusory and non-existent.
Who could have thought that in just a moment, real swarms of bees were actually attracted by Ye Fan's playing.
"Wow! Brother Ye Fan actually attracted bees, he's really amazing!" exclaimed the Little Queen Wei Ziyi in astonishment.
Unbeknownst to them, as thousands onstage were shocked, people outside the concert were even more astounded.
At this very moment, on a road five kilometers away, a beekeeper slowly brought his van to a stop.
He stepped out of the vehicle with a look of joy: "The weather is really nice today, hoping for a good harvest!"
As he spoke, he opened the trunk and lifted the beehive out from it.
However, the moment he opened the beehive, his bees rushed towards the concert venue as if bewitched.
"My bees, my bees!"
Seeing his bees suddenly swarming into the sky, the beekeeper was completely baffled.
"Come back! All of you, come back to me!"
The beekeeper screamed hoarsely, but to no avail; the bees didn't even glance at him and disappeared without a trace.
Not only that, but a team of firefighters had entered an old neighborhood three kilometers away from the concert.
An elderly man advanced and said, "You finally made it!"
"Sir, what exactly happened?" the lead firefighter stepped forward and asked.
The elderly man slapped his thigh and said, "Don't even mention it! Our neighborhood is old and has no property management. A beehive appeared at the entrance of the complex a long while ago. At first, nobody cared, but when we realized it was an issue, the beehive had already grown large. Now there are more and more bees in that hive, and several elderly people and children have been stung!"
"Where is the beehive?" the lead firefighter inquired.
The elderly man replied, "It's at the North Gate; I'll take you there!"
Following the old man's guidance, the firefighters arrived at the northern entrance of the old neighborhood.
"The beehive is right there!"
Once they reached the North Gate, the elderly man pointed to the beehive from a distance.
"Captain, that's no small hive!" one firefighter exclaimed in shock.
Looking over, they saw a beehive hanging above the North Gate, buzzing with bees flying around it. On closer inspection, there were at least several hundred bees, each one quite large.
With their years of firefighting experience, they knew that being stung by such large bees was extremely painful, and severe cases required hospital treatment.
The lead firefighter declared, "We can't let these bees wreak havoc. Suit up in protective gear, prepare the equipment, we need to annihilate them!"
"Yes, Captain!" the firefighters shouted in unison.
Buzzing noises filled the air.
Just as the firefighters were preparing to deal with the giant beehive, a massive number of bees swarmed out of it as if responding to a call and flew rapidly towards the direction of the concert.
"What... what is happening?"
Seeing the bees decisively abandon their nest and fly out, the bewildered firefighters did not understand what was going on.
Stay tuned for updates on empire
Scenarios like this were countless. Many bees that had been collecting nectar from roadside flowerbeds suddenly panicked, and then decisively flew up towards the sky.
Meanwhile, outside the concert venue, a group of security personnel were dumbfounded.
"Bees, where did all these bees come from?"
The Security Captain, having never seen such a scene, spoke with a firm expression, "Close the windows and all passages, we absolutely cannot let these bees enter and harm the audience!"
"Captain, are you serious?"
Upon hearing the Security Captain's orders, many of the security staff had difficulty swallowing their saliva.
"I... damn it…"
The Security Captain had just finished speaking when he looked up and saw countless bees diving towards the concert venue. It would be disastrous to close the windows and passages now, as they could very well be stung to death by the swarm.
"Captain, maybe we should withdraw!" a young security officer said bitterly.
The Security Captain turned pale, feeling helpless, and declared, "Retreat! We must retreat. If we don't, we're all done for!"
Without considering the lives of thousands at the concert, the Security Captain hurriedly led his team away from the scene, making an urgent call for help.
"What? What did you say? Wei Chen's music concert at Times Square is under attack by a swarm of bees?"
At this moment, inside the Central Plains Public Security Bureau, the duty officer who received the distress call was completely stunned.
Over the years, she had received calls about all sorts of emergencies: suicides by jumping into rivers, brawls, murders – you name it. But an attack by bees? This was a first for her.
"Yes, it's an emergency, an absolute emergency!" the Security Captain cried out urgently.
Whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
As the Security Captain made his frantic plea for help, one bee after another charged into the concert venue, creating a scene of utter chaos.
