Chapter 532 Martial Law
Rong Xianxian was afraid of trouble because most of the survivors now knew that the monster would have a dormant period after landing a year ago. During the dormant period, the monster had almost no combat power and was in a state of being slaughtered at will. That stage was the easiest stage to kill the monster. This time the monster landed, even if the situation was unclear, I am afraid that someone would take risks for the treasure.
"Sister Rong, there shouldn't be any trouble tonight. The authorities have already ordered martial law tonight. No one is allowed to leave their residence. If anyone violates this order, life or death will be punished." Chang Qing reported.
"Martial law?" Rong Xianxian was a little confused. Could it be that the authorities already knew what would happen tonight?
“Boom.”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Tah, ta, ta!"
The sound of cars and orderly footsteps could be heard on the street. Rong Xianxian looked out at the street with a telescope. Teams of soldiers in neat uniforms and fully armed were patrolling the street. It seemed that the military was well prepared for the changes tonight.
"Who is on duty in the outer city tonight?" Rong Xianxian asked.
At this stage, the outer city area is large and sparsely populated, and the defense is relatively not as tight as the inner city. If something happens tonight, if someone takes advantage of the situation to cause trouble, the outer city may not be safe.
"Captain Xiao from the third team is on duty." From the day the construction of the new house in the outer city started, Rong Xianxian arranged people to be on duty there to ensure the safety of the property on the construction site.
"Alin, notify Captain Xiao to make sure the team members are well controlled and not allowed to go out. Also, turn on all the traps to prevent anyone from causing trouble." Rong Xianxian instructed him.
"Yes, Sister Rong!" Wang Lin responded. He had a sound transmission note that could connect to Captain Xiao, making it very convenient to transmit messages.
"Sister Rong, there has been unrest everywhere recently, with frequent natural disasters. The prices of food, weapons and medicines in the safe zone have risen sharply. The casualty rate of teams going out on missions is getting higher and higher. Now monsters are landing, and the days to come will only be more difficult." Chang Qing said worriedly.
"Brother Changqing, with the pills and talismans refined by Sister Rong, and the weapons refined by Brother Ming, the business of our Sibaolou will only get better and better. Whether other people live a good life is a matter of concern for the government, and it should have no impact on us, right?" Xia Kai said disapprovingly.
"If the casualties are too heavy, fewer people will be willing to take risks outside the safe zone, and our business will also be affected," said Chang Qing.
"Okay, everyone go back to your rooms and rest. If there is any unusual movement in the outer city or other garrisons, notify me as soon as possible." Rong Xianxian gave the instructions, and everyone went back to their rooms.
As soon as Rong Xianxian returned to the room, she found that the jade talisman she took from Ning Qingyun lit up. Rong Xianxian input spiritual energy to connect the call.
"Boss, is that you?" Huo Ye's tentative voice came from Yufu's side.
"He hasn't woken up yet!" Although they had returned to the safe zone together, Huo Ye, Chai Ming and others returned to the Tianhe Mercenary Group's base to rest, while Rong Xianxian, Jiang Jie and others returned to the backyard of Sibao Building.
"Madam, where are you and the boss now? Can I go over to see them?" Huo Ye said anxiously. He couldn't feel at ease until he saw Ning Qingyun in person.
"There is martial law outside now, so don't walk around casually." Rong Xianxian rejected Huo Ye's request.
"It doesn't matter if there is martial law. I will be careful, ma'am," Huo Ye said unwillingly.
"Ask Chai Ming to answer the call!" Rong Xianxian interrupted Huo Ye.
"Ah, oh, Aming, the madam is calling you!" Huo Ye shouted to Chai Ming.
"Madam, what can I do for you?" Chai Ming came over quickly.
"Qingyun said, in the Tianhe Mercenary Group, you are in charge of team discipline?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"Yes, ma'am," Chai Ming replied.
"Okay, then, you take care of the people in the team. No one is allowed to go out before dawn." Rong Xianxian said lightly.
"Yes." Chai Ming agreed immediately.
Before Ning Qingyun entered the secret realm, he had told them that if anything happened to him, all his assets and connections would be handed over to Rong Xianxian. Today, Rong Xianxian fell into danger in order to rescue them, and it was Rong Xianxian's arrival that gave the Tianhe Mercenary Group a chance to break out and save the lives of most of the team members. Now that Ning Qingyun is seriously injured, the leadership of the Tianhe Mercenary Group is handed over to Rong Xianxian. It is what everyone wants, and Chai Ming naturally supports and endorses it.
"Madam, I have some doubts and I hope you can help me solve them!" Chai Ming said immediately.
"What doubts?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"Monsters are falling from the sky tonight. If it's the same as it was a year ago, then tonight is a great opportunity to hunt monsters and get treasures. Shouldn't we join in?" The army is under martial law. Ordinary people naturally dare not move around casually, but their Tianhe Mercenary Group is also ranked among the top civilian forces in the capital. All of them are powerful and don't want to miss the opportunity to get treasures.
"No, which is more important, the treasure or life? Most of the team members have participated in today's battle and have only rested for a few hours. They are tired. Besides, the situation outside is unclear and we have to hide from the army. You and Huo Ye should comfort the people below and don't cause any trouble." Rong Xianxian said patiently.
"Yes, ma'am, Pan Yang took his men back to the stronghold near the Misty Forest. I'm worried that something might happen to him there." Chai Ming reported.
"I understand. Take good care of your people tonight and be careful!" Rong Xianxian instructed.
Rong Xianxian hung up the phone. She had originally planned to go out of town and visit Pan Yang at the same time.
Ning Qingyun, lying on the bed, had a face as white as jade, a straight nose, straight eyebrows, picturesque eyes, and light-colored lips. She looked quiet and fragile.
Rong Xianxian kissed his cheek gently. If she had not told him about Xiao Luo’s previous incident in danger, would what happened today have not happened?
Things have already happened, and there is no point in regretting or being upset. Rong Xianxian moved Ning Qingyun and his bed into the foggy space, and also brought the two children into the foggy space. Only by keeping them by her side could Rong Xianxian feel at ease.
After checking her equipment, Rong Xianxian opened the invisibility barrier and left the yard.
Soldiers with live ammunition walked on the streets from time to time. There were military garrisons on every street. From time to time, dense gunfire sounds could be heard from outside the city, accompanied by the roars of monsters and the shouts of soldiers.
Just as Rong Xianxian was about to walk towards the city gate, she heard a roar of "Ah" in her ears. The sound came from above her head. Rong Xianxian looked up and saw a monster trapped in a glowing net above her head. The net was flashing with electric light and making crackling sounds.
