Chapter 1126 Collective Rescue

While Ye Wanxi and her companion were trying to buy time, Qi Yingxuan and the others had already entered the formation and were heading to the scene of the incident.

Even before Wu Yequan released the video, a family had already been victimized.

The incident was sudden and caught everyone off guard. In addition, Wu Yequan's move was intended to make an example of someone and deliberately spread panic.

Unfortunately, apart from the mother and daughter who were still outside taking extra classes, all the other family members of the family who were killed in the disaster were killed, and the house was burned down.

Fortunately, although Wu Yequan set up a barrier outside Z City to prevent people from leaving, he did not touch the various facilities inside the city for the time being, so most people were still able to save themselves.

When Qi Yingxuan and others arrived at the scene, they saw many people coming out of their homes to help the victims rescue people and put out the fire.

Ambulances and fire trucks could be seen among them, but unfortunately, the lightning strikes were not something that could be extinguished by ordinary water.

As Qi Yingxuan and the others approached, they discovered that in addition to some ordinary people who bravely stepped forward to help each other, there were also several people with superpowers.

One of them happened to have water-based abilities, and the water she summoned actually had some effect on the fire caused by the lightning strike.

Unfortunately, although her special ability was appropriate for the condition, her strength was not high. The water she summoned was just a drop in the ocean compared to the raging fire in front of her and could not play a significant role.

A group of people struggled for a long time, but instead of putting out the fire, they could only watch helplessly as it spread and grew larger.

Unlike the detached house that was struck initially, this time the lightning struck a brand-new residential building that had only been completed two or three years ago.

The building had twenty or thirty floors, and once the fire spread, it burned more than one household!

"My child is still inside! Please save my child!"

"My parents are still inside. Please, please save my parents, please."

"My mom and my wife are still trapped inside. Let me in! Let me in! Mom, Qianqian, come out! Come out! If anything happens to you, I won't live anymore!"

"..."

As the fire grew larger, those trapped on the high-rise building were filled with despair, as were those below who watched helplessly as their loved ones were trapped in the flames.

Cries, pleas, and curses blended together, creating a chaotic and oppressive atmosphere.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yingxuan and the others exchanged glances and, without saying a word, rushed directly into the fire.

"Hey, you guys can't go in..." Several staff members in charge of maintaining order on the perimeter saw Qi Yingxuan and the others trying to run inside and instinctively tried to stop them, but froze on the spot the next second.

Suddenly, one of the people raised his hand and made a few gestures, then vanished without a trace.

Jiang Lin simply drew his longsword and leaped up several stories high, eliciting gasps of surprise from the crowd below.

In just a few breaths, he had reached the fire on the bottom floor. With a few swift strokes of his longsword, he shaved a large hole in the security bars and even the balcony, which normally protected the people inside but now became obstacles to their lives.

"Jump down." Qi Yao saw from below that the fires were almost reaching the balconies of several houses, and the people had already walked to the large hole that Jiang Lin had cut for them, but because they were afraid of the dozens of meters below, they dared not jump down.

Seeing that the fire was about to reach them, Qi Yao didn't care about anything else. She released several lively little cuties and shouted, "Jump down quickly, I'll catch you. Don't be afraid, nothing will happen to you."

"Oh, you little rascal, that's more than ten stories high, and there's no cushion underneath. If you really fall, what will you use to catch me? Someone could die!"

An elderly woman nearby, upon hearing Qi Yao's shout, assumed she was a young woman who lacked ability but liked to meddle and hinder others, and scolded her a few times in dissatisfaction.

Before he could finish speaking, a gasp came from the side.

It turns out that a little girl, around ten years old, saw that the fire was about to burn her and her younger brother. In a panic, she had no choice but to jump off the building with her brother in her arms.

From a height of tens of meters, a person falling from that height looks like two small black dots; you might not even notice them if you're not paying attention.

But those who truly knew that there were two children could not ignore it. In an instant, countless people's hearts clenched, and some of the more timid and soft-hearted people even closed their eyes, unable to bear to look any longer.

However, the expected tragic scene did not occur. The moment the two fell, several white ribbons suddenly shot out in all directions, instantly forming a huge spider web that caught the two falling people and stopped them at a height of one or two stories.

Everyone was stunned by this unexpected scene, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the two siblings curled up above them.

Qi Yao glared impatiently at the helpless young people standing to the side and shouted angrily, "Why aren't you going up to save them?"

The crowd snapped out of their daze, and several young people were the first to react, rushing upstairs to rescue the people.

The fire started on the tenth floor or higher, and the area below is still safe for the time being. They can easily go upstairs and bring the people down!

The two siblings fell from above and thought they were going to die. They were stunned for a long time after landing on the net. It wasn't until they heard someone calling from the second-floor balcony that they realized what had happened and hurriedly climbed over with their younger brother in their arms.

When their older siblings hugged them, the two realized they were truly saved and burst into tears.

As they carried them downstairs, they smiled kindly at their sobs.

It's best to be able to cry; the louder you cry, the more energetic you are. As long as you're alive, there's still hope.

The people waiting anxiously below clearly felt the same way; the rescue of the two siblings rekindled their hope and gave those trapped upstairs a glimpse of the possibility of being rescued as well.

Realizing that there were indeed capable people below who could catch them, several residents who had been driven to the brink of despair by the fire hurriedly jumped down.

Qi Yao was busy directing the Gu worms to catch people, while the others were responsible for pulling people down. Occasionally, a few people who jumped too fast or too close together might fall together and cause secondary serious injuries. In such cases, bees, moths, or even flocks of birds would grab their clothes to slow them down before dropping them down.

In an instant, countless tiny black dots jumped down one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The people below were busy running around, but they were all in high spirits, and their eyes shone with an amazing light.

More and more people have been reunited with their loved ones, embracing their beloved family with tears in their eyes, but some people still haven't been able to find their relatives.

The fire upstairs grew larger and larger, and the despair in these people's hearts deepened.

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and a pitch-black figure appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Everyone: “!!!”
