Chapter 1128 It’s Better to All Die

Qi Yingxuan's appearance was sudden, but given the previous examples, everyone was able to remain calm.

A girl who was close to Qi Yingxuan quickly stepped forward to take the child, and others rushed forward to help as well.

The child's mother inhaled a lot of smoke and has fallen into a coma.

The emergency medical staff, who had just treated several other patients in similar condition, quickly came over and expertly provided the mother with oxygen. After checking her condition, they quickly directed others to help carry her away and rush her to the hospital for emergency treatment.

As a relative, the old lady naturally had to go along. Before leaving, she didn't forget to hold her great-granddaughter, whom she had lost and found again, and wanted to give her to Qi Yingxuan.

Startled, Qi Yingxuan repeatedly refused: "Old man, you can't kneel before me. I'm young, wouldn't you be shortening my lifespan by doing that?"

With tears in her eyes, the old woman shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Benefactor, you are our family's greatest benefactor. If it weren't for you, my great-granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law... if they were gone, I wouldn't be able to live either."

Qi Yingxuan felt heartbroken upon hearing this. He hadn't thought much when he saved the person, nor had he expected to receive much gratitude from the person he saved. The old lady's reaction made him feel rather uncomfortable.

Seeing his silly, clueless look, Qi Yao chuckled and slapped him lightly. She then said to the old woman, "Grandma, there's no rush to thank us. Your granddaughter-in-law needs to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. You need to take good care of yourself so you can look after both of them. Emergency treatment can't be delayed, so you should go to the hospital with them right away."

The old lady stopped worrying after hearing what she said, and thanked Qi Yingxuan a few more times before hurriedly taking her great-granddaughter into the ambulance.

As soon as the old lady left, Qi Yao immediately rolled her eyes at Qi Yingxuan with disdain and mocked, "Look at you, so pathetic! You're just a little baby, howling like a pig being slaughtered. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were carrying a time bomb!"

Qi Yingxuan's face, smeared with soot, fell instantly when Qi Yao glared at him. He said pitifully, "You don't understand. That's much scarier than a time bomb."

God knows, he had been single for two lifetimes and was most afraid of weak and spineless babies like this, let alone when the child was crying!

"Alright, alright, he's a big hero today, let's give him some face and say less."

Upon hearing Jun Wuduan's words, Qi Yingxuan's eyes widened in surprise, looking as if he had seen a ghost. He clearly hadn't expected this guy to be so kind as to speak up for him.

As the group was talking, Jiang Lin, who had also been at the forefront, returned.

Most of the residents of Z City present did not recognize them, but the superhumans who had come in on a mission to rescue people but were trapped here and unable to get out were quite familiar with them.

They were too busy rescuing people to think about anything else, but now that everyone was out, they gathered around after a while.

"Mr. Jun, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Qi, you've all arrived."

"Hmm. Are you locals too, or...?"

"No, no, we came in to rescue people, but we didn't expect to lose contact with the outside world after we came in. When we saw what happened here, we rushed over to rescue people. We didn't expect you all to come too, that's great."

The ability users, who had already cooperated with the group several times, clearly had a lot of confidence in Jun Wuduan and his companions. They believed that since the group had also come in, they must have a way to help them break the formation and rescue the people.

Jun Wuduan didn't offer much explanation after hearing their words, only asking, "Has everyone in this building come out? Is anyone missing?"

These people were newcomers and naturally didn't know much, but that didn't stop them from asking those in the know.

The medical and fire personnel who arrived at the scene immediately after the fire were all public resources within Z city. Before the rescue, these personnel had already inquired about the situation of the trapped people from the residents and property management of the community.

From Jun Wuduan's conversation with the others, they had confirmed that these suddenly appearing rescuers, like these outside superhumans, were people sent in from outside to rescue them.

Hearing your unsolicited question, I didn't hide anything and stepped forward to say, "Thanks to the help of several people, all the trapped people have been rescued."

The residents nearby, whose family members or friends had narrowly escaped death, also stepped forward to express their gratitude to Qi Yingxuan and the others after being reminded by the staff.

Unlike the initial grief and despair, everyone now had smiles on their faces.

Unfortunately, their joy was short-lived, as a loud noise suddenly came from above, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble.

"Oh no, what's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

"My God, are they trying to kill us?"

"Waaaaah, Mommy and Daddy, I'm scared!"

"We finally escaped the fire, and then there was an earthquake. Are they really not going to give us any chance to survive?"

"..."

Cries and curses instantly merged into one.

However, the expected major earthquake did not occur. Instead, the fog that had been hanging over them dissipated, revealing the true nature of the formation.

"Look, there are people up there!"

With a gasp, the group, who had just regained their balance, instinctively looked up and saw that the dark night sky seemed to have been suddenly covered with a jelly-like, rippled dome.

The dome held their city firmly inside, shimmering with a dangerous light.

Through the cover, they could vaguely see several figures on it.

Bang—bang—bang—

The muffled thuds of collisions, interspersed with flashes of light, proclaimed the fierce battle taking place beyond the ripples.

"It's him, it's them! It's that man in the video, and... and that female celebrity named Ye Wanxi and her boyfriend, they're fighting!"

These words caused another uproar at the scene.

Thanks to Wu Yequan, almost everyone in Z City, from three-year-old children to centenarians, has seen the video he specially filmed.

It was precisely because they had seen it before that they were surprised and angry when they saw Wu Yequan and Ye Wanxi.

"It really is them? That video is real. All these troubles we've had are the work of that bastard!"

Why did he do this? What did we do wrong to deserve such suffering?

"It's no use trying to reason with a heinous beast! He's a demon, a degenerate scoundrel, and we have to defeat him."

"Defeating him? How easy is that? He just raised his hand and trapped us all here, unable to get out. He can even send down lightning to set us on fire. How can we possibly fight him?"

"Didn't he say in the video that he could exchange two lives for everyone's? If those two people die, will we be safe?"

"Yes, yes, yes, if you ask me, none of these people are good people. They should be left to fight like dogs, and it would be best if they all died, so as to end it all and save us law-abiding ordinary people from being implicated."
