Chapter 97: The Jing Family's Attraction
As the giant city entered the first level of combat readiness, the atmosphere in the city was solemn.
All active city defense forces were assembled, veterans were recalled, and a large number of scavengers were incorporated into the militia.
The border iron guards, which were rarely seen in the past, appeared in an organized manner on the high walls of the giant city.
The major factories in the lava mining city were directly converted into military factories, fully producing ammunition and continuously sending them to the No. 3 border city.
The authorities also made various preparations for the possible disaster fog.
Even various dangerous taboos were taken out.
Among them, the most likely to stop the disaster fog is the Class B taboo Hunyuan Banner.
It is a banner composed of three independent flags that can divide the space. If the disaster fog is trapped in it, it may be able to stop the spread of the disaster fog.
Of course, as a taboo, the price to pay for using it is equally terrible.
Once activated, it will attract natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and sandstorms around the Hunyuan Banner!
This is also the reason why it is rated as Class B.
However, compared with the invasion of disaster fog, these natural disasters are actually tolerable.
The official idea is that as long as the disaster fog can be discovered in advance, the official will use the Hunyuan Banner to lock the disaster fog!
Then the next step is simple.
Wait for the strong men from the major cities to gather, and then go in and beat him!
Kill the master of the disaster fog and attack the disaster fog No. 71!
The idea is very beautiful.
However, three days after receiving the news, the official still did not find any traces of the disaster fog No. 71.
Instead, the investigation results of the Doomsday Forest appeared first.
Ye Bu Shou, who ventured to break through the beast tide and went deep into the forbidden area, was surprised to find that a large area in the Doomsday Forest was missing.
That's right, it was missing!
The disaster forbidden area is actually much larger than what is observed physically. From the outside, there is only a mysterious forest, but the internal space is dozens of times larger.
There are many extraordinary creatures in each area, and each area has its own ecological chain.
However, this time, two of the areas, along with the various extraordinary creatures on them, and even trees, flowers and plants, disappeared. The whole area seemed to have been plowed, and there was a dead silence!
This made the giant city a little uneasy. The target of the No. 71 disaster fog was a bit wide.
In the past, the disaster fog only devoured humans or other intelligent species, sometimes including extraordinary creatures. But it never devoured flowers, plants and trees.
Now, the No. 71 disaster fog is like a hungry ghost that eats everything, devouring all the creatures above.
This change made the officials alert.
But in the vast wilderness, the night guards of the three giant cities kept on guarding back and forth, and did not find any traces of the disaster fog.
However, this can give a lot of time to transfer more people.
In the past three days, Border City No. 3 has requisitioned various caravans and dispatched a large number of troops to escort civilians to the Lava Mining City.
But only about one million people were evacuated, while Border City No. 3 needed to evacuate a population of up to eight million, and many people were unwilling to cooperate.
It can be foreseen that it will take a long time to transfer all of them.
The later the disaster fog appears, the better.
On the rooftop of a house, Li Yelai, wearing a special combat uniform, looked down at the crowds and convoys rushing to the entrance and exit of the giant city, praying in his heart that the disaster fog would arrive later.
Each handler received a task, either to escort the people or to guard the streets.
Li Yelai was the latter.
Beside him, Cheese, who was also wearing a special combat uniform, handed over a cup of coffee and said, "The milk tea shop is closed. Make do with this to warm your body."
"Okay, thank you." Li Yelai took the cup, tasted it, and his face was a little distorted.
Cheese's curse was obviously sugar addiction, but she herself didn't like desserts. Instead, she liked to drink black coffee.
Just now, she caught Xinghuo, who was also guarding the street, and asked him to help use his ability to make a pot of coffee.
But Li Yelai really couldn't drink this taste, and couldn't taste it.
Seeing Li Yelai's bitter face, Cheese's beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.
Then, he took out a few pieces of sugar from his pocket and threw them into Li Yelai's cup.
This made the bitter taste of coffee better.
Li Yelai asked while drinking coffee: "Have uncle and his family evacuated?"
"We have to evacuate children and students first. Uncle and his family have to evacuate tomorrow." Cheese also drank coffee with a cup and asked: "Where is your sister? How should she evacuate? Let my uncle find her a car that can't see the outside world?"
"No, I've arranged it." Li Yelai responded. Due to the high confidentiality of the Absolute Spirit, he did not reveal her existence.
"That's good." Cheese nodded, and he and Li Yelai silently looked at the crowd below.
At this time, an unexpected visitor arrived.
A figure appeared on the rooftop of the building next to Li Yelai. It was Jing Lin.
He smiled when he saw Li Yelai and Cheese.
Then he performed the air step and came in front of the two.
"Long time no see, both of you." Jing Lin smiled friendly and said, "Finally I found you."
"I thought the young master of the family had already evacuated the giant city." Cheese glanced at Jing Lin and said.
Although the government is evacuating the people, those powerful businessmen have already left the giant city.
They don't need official protection, and they can hire enough forces to reach the lava mining city safely.
The Jing family, as a psychic family, should be the same.
It is said that the Jing family expeditionary force, which was originally going to approach Border City No. 3, also left Border City No. 1 and settled in the wilderness.
Unexpectedly, Jing Lin was still in the giant city and found Li Yelai and Cheese.
"I know more about this matter. I think Jucheng should be safe at the moment. There is no rush." Jing Lin smiled and said: "Miss Cheese, can I chat with Ye Jiang alone for a while? It won't take a lot of time. of."
Cheese raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yelai. Li Yelai was a little surprised, but still nodded.
Seeing this, Cheese left the rooftop, leaving the place to the two of them.
"What do you want from me?" Li Yelai asked straight to the point: "I don't seem to have any contact with Yao Qingjing's family, right? You're not here to make me pay, are you?"
"Hahahaha, you are joking. Maybe you also know, right? This time the giant city evacuated people, it was not because of any beast tide, but something more dangerous." Jing Lin said.
That's right, after all, Jing Lin is very likely to be the chosen one of Ark.
Maybe, I heard the news right next to me.
Therefore, Li Yelai responded: "Colleagues do have some speculations that what Jucheng must face now may not just be a beast tide. It may be a more dangerous disaster."
Although the official told the public that they were defending against a beast tide, they did not deliberately hide the truth from the handlers.
Some of the handlers were vaguely aware that what they were facing this time might be a restricted area or disaster fog.
"Yes, the truth is that a relatively special fog will invade a certain border city. The beast tide in the Doomsday Forest is actually caused by the fog No. 71." Jing Lin opened his mouth and told the truth, while carefully Observing Li Yelai's expression.
Li Yelai had known this information for a long time, but he still pretended to be stunned, and then continued: "I see!"
"It seems that you are braver than I thought."
Jing Lin didn't see the fear in Li Yelai's expression, and couldn't help but admire: "The family members I brought with me were eager to escape from the giant city immediately after learning the news. You are much braver than them."
"It's different." Li Yelai responded: "I am the handler of the Disaster Management Department."
"Very good." Jing Lin looked at Li Yelai with eyes full of approval.
"Then you came here just to tell me the news?" Li Yelai asked. He really didn't know Jing Lin's purpose of coming.
To reveal the truth about the disaster? Everything the officials need to know is already known.
"No, I came here specifically for you." Jing Lin looked at Li Yelai and said, "How dangerous the disaster fog is. If the worst happens, our Jing family can protect you and your family and friends from leaving the giant city. No disaster. The threat of disaster.”
"Are you planning to let me run away?" Li Yelai frowned.
"The fog is too dangerous, and I just pointed out a path for you to choose." Jing Lin whispered: "Your ability is so special. If you die in this fog, it will be a loss to mankind. ah."
He no longer concealed his intention to win over, but continued to speak: "As long as you nod, our Jing family can now escort you and your family and friends out of the giant city! Moreover, you will not suffer any punishment!"
"Like the beautiful Miss Cheese, she is so sweet and touching. Can you bear to let her face disaster and wither under the attack of disaster?"
"Just like your sister, I also have a sister. Therefore, our thoughts should be the same. We don't want our sister to suffer any danger."
"As long as you nod, your sister will be fully protected! Instead of waiting for evacuation in the giant city!"
"Besides, you don't know, right? Your specialness has been learned by a mysterious group. Many of them are very interested in your abilities. Some even want to make you into a spirit. Can be armed. Moreover, there is an organization from that group in Border City No. 3!
"And we, the Jing family, have eight-level psychics sitting in charge! No matter what force they are, they have to consider whether they want to go to war with the Jing family!"
"Our Yao Qingjing family can protect you better!"
Jing Lin looked at Li Yelai: "You should think about it."
"Can I understand that you are trying to win over me?" Li Yelai asked with a smile.
"That's right." Jing Lin nodded: "Now, I won't hide it anymore. After we learned about your special ability from that group, we started to think of wooing you. In my opinion, this is a win-win situation. Choose. You can safely obtain the resources of the Jing family, and we can obtain a psychic with special abilities."
"The conditions you gave are very tempting." Li Yelai nodded: "If I agree, how many people can you protect?"
Jing Lin felt happy and said with a smile: "Your friends and your friends' families can be taken away. For example, if Miss Cheese is willing to go with you, we can also protect her family. Your other So do friends."
"Very good, but I have a lot of friends." Li Yelai smiled.
"How many are there?" Jing Lin chuckled. Although the Jing family's large army is still in the wilderness, its strength cannot be underestimated. There are a lot of psykers sitting around. It's still a waste of time to protect a group of people.
"There are still more than eight million at present." Li Ye looked at the flow of people below and said.
More than eight million? Are there any remaining soldiers and civilians from the giant city who have not yet evacuated?
Jing Lin was silent, he naturally understood what Li Yelai meant.
Then he sighed with regret: "That's such a pity, such a pity."
"I feel sorry for your Yaoqing Jing family too." Li Yelai also sighed.
"Feel sorry for us?" Jing Lin raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"The founders of your psychic family are heroes of this world. Your ancestors brought out mysterious knowledge from the disaster fog, helped build a giant city, and resisted the disaster." Li Yelai whispered: "What kind of glory and achievement is this, which makes people admire and respect it."
Jing Lin nodded. This is indeed the achievement of the family, and no one can deny it.
The current status of the family is indeed inseparable from the hard work of the ancestors.
"And now, it's your generation. When facing the disaster again, you not only choose to escape, but also make others become deserters." Li Yelai shook his head: "You are obviously no longer brave after being heroes. Isn't this regretful enough?"
Jing Lin shook his head: "You are sharp-tongued, but this kind of rhetoric is useless to me. And our Jing family is not a coward. Your No. 3 border town suppresses the restricted area. Our Jing family is in Yaoqing Giant City, and we are also suppressing the restricted area. This time is different, we have no obligation."
"Tomorrow, we will leave the giant city. If you regret it, you can come to me at any time. I'm in the manor."
Then, Jing Lin jumped off the rooftop, performed air steps, and quickly disappeared from Li Yelai's sight.
Li Ye looked at the direction he was going away and exhaled slowly.
Facing the disaster fog, it would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.
But fear and escape are two different things.
He is the handler of the disaster handler, and he has this responsibility.
And he has the biggest trump card.
If it really comes to the necessary time, the disaster really comes to the No. 3 border city
Then he will face the Lord of Disaster Mist and let it see Mr. Shadow's strength!
Since a transaction is equivalent to saving a life, then saving more lives at a time is a more cost-effective choice.
"Don't you regret it?" Cheese's voice came from behind Li Yelai: "It's not common to win over the psychic family. There are unimaginable resources and inheritance, and you don't even have to work hard to complete the task to get those resources."
"It's more suitable for me to use merit points in a stingy way." Li Yelai looked back at Cheese and asked: "By the way, where did you start eavesdropping?"
"From 'that beautiful Miss Cheese, she looks so sweet and moving'." Cheese responded with a smile, his eyes flashing: "Look how sweet she is. Learn from her!"
"Shameless!" Li Yelai sneered.
