Chapter 23 Aixina (2)

"You...you..." The boy was speechless for a moment. The fire, the alien beast, and the two overly calm people made his brain unable to process them at all.

Only the limp tentacle behind him became active and twisted wildly, getting smaller and smaller, as if it had encountered a powerful enemy and was camouflaging itself to survive.

More than a minute later, when he finally came to his senses and wanted to ask more questions, the inner city wall of Qingshui City in the distance made a rumbling sound like a ship accelerating, and then the entire outer city border began to emit a sharp and very dazzling light.

Then the entire sky suddenly changed color, from ordinary blue to black and gray. Zhou Ye, who was held in Siming's arms, realized that this was some kind of protective shield.

But its range did not cover the entire outer layer and the inner layer, but only the broken ground.

The boy who fell to the ground obviously realized this. He ignored the two people in front of him and turned to run towards the inner city. However, the moment he hit the shield, he fell to the ground due to the excessive impact.

He fell to the ground again and shouted: "Let me out, can't I not enter the city! Don't lock me up with the monsters! Let me out!"

But there was no response from the tall and cold city gate. Instead, the protective shield gradually solidified until it turned completely black.

"How could it be..." The boy who had completely lost hope collapsed on the ground in despair. The light here had completely disappeared, leaving only the still burning fire, which made his shadow flicker constantly.

The two mysterious men who were standing at the bow also disappeared from his sight.

"A bunch of idiots, I know what you want to say."

At this time, members of the Qingshui City Branch of the Citizens Mutual Aid Association, the largest local association in Qingshui City, gathered together. One of the leaders stood up suddenly and shouted at the others.

"It's nothing more than that my child is still in the outer city, or we don't need to use the method of blockade directly, but the ones coming this time are not the usual level one monsters. From the moment they approached, their measured size has exceeded level four."

"If they break through the outer layer and come in directly, who can stop them? What's more, all the talented people in the association are in the outer city now. Can't they protect a few children?"

"I very much agree with your approach..." A gentle woman wearing glasses stood up. She glanced at the crowd, "But I think there is still a little omission."

"Really?" The president raised his eyebrows. He had a square face that looked honest, but his eyes were as thin as slits. His pupils kept moving, looking up and down at the woman in front of him.

"It is precisely because the scale of the alien beasts is different from usual that I suspect that there are cultists mixed in with the crowd that just entered the port. In addition to blocking the outer city, they should also be investigated."

After it finished speaking, it immediately received support from many members, but some people still frowned, and their minds have not yet escaped from the serious situation of the blockade.

Finally, with the approval of the crowd, President Kum recognized the opinion of the woman with glasses with a fake smile and gave high support.

"Well, Aixina, you will be the investigator for this investigation and be fully responsible for investigating them."

"President... Is this..." A man stood up and wanted to refute. After all, everyone knows that searching for people related to cultists can be contaminated if you are not careful, and the blood of those people is poisonous.

"So do you want to go?" Kum sat on the chair without moving, just turned his head to the man, and the man immediately stopped talking and sat down in silence.

"I am willing to go," Aixina did not change her expression because of the episode just now, but just nodded to accept this dangerous appointment. "I can even be responsible for personally escorting the cultists to the blockade to feed the monsters, how about it?"

Her words made the faces of the people present different. The man who just stood up and sat down lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at her again.

After five minutes of silence, Kum clapped his hands. Everyone who heard the applause immediately followed suit and cheered. The strange atmosphere was swept away.

"As expected of Ms. Aixina, who loves the lower class people. In that case, please do us another favor."

Kum's wrinkled face turned away sarcastically, and he pointed at two members of the association who looked depressed. The two members were so scared that their shoulders trembled, and they raised their heads in fear and looked at Kum.

"Your children are still on the outer layer, right?"

"We have a ready-made hero here," he said in a different tone than usual, with an exclamatory tone that looked extremely ridiculous. "She voluntarily entered the blockade. If you have any alchemy tools that can save your life, let her take them in and pass them to the children."

The two men hurriedly stood up and waved their hands to express their opinions, but were interrupted by a sigh from Kum.

"Don't let those who do practical things feel disappointed." The smile on his face gradually withdrew, and the two men dared not say anything.

After they slowly handed the two alchemy tools they were carrying to Aixina, they hurried back to their seats, fearing that others would feel that they were being dragged down.

"Then I'll go. I'll take care of the things you gave me." Aixina, who was wearing a suit jacket and trousers, nodded and walked towards the city gate with two items.

At this time, in the blockade shrouded by darkness and fire, the alien beasts had begun to rampage wildly.

Some of them were roaming around the broken land without reason and without rules, while others were circling the cabin and trying every means to invade the interior, but the fire made it impossible for them to do anything.

The people who were already washed by the waves were now fleeing in panic, but a few people, as if their dark side was aroused, began to rob things everywhere.

"I didn't expect to see such a scene as soon as I got here."

Zhou Ye had been teleported to a small hotel relatively far away from the monsters. The owner was quite brave and greeted them warmly the moment he saw them.

At this moment, Zhou Ye was sitting on a cushioned wooden stool in the store, nodding and thanking the proprietress who brought him tea.

"Although it's not common to open the blockade, this is how our mutual aid association works here. I heard that the treatment in cities affiliated with the Security Fund will be better."

"Young man, where are you from?"

"Xiangshan City."

"The benefits there are not bad! But I heard that the certification point to enter is much more expensive."

"Why don't you think of coming to our Qingshui City? I think the nobleman you're with treats you very well." The meaning of her words clearly showed that she regarded Zhou Ye as a vassal of Siming.

Zhou took a sip of the tea lid, blew on it twice, and then swallowed the crudely made tea. Even the root of his tongue had a bitter taste.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his droopy, gentle eyes. "He wanted to take me out for a walk. There were some bad things at home."

"Oh... Look at what it's like now, with the blockade and the monsters..." The proprietress immediately felt some sympathy, but still did not ask about Siming's news. "Is he a noble from Yuntian? Silver hair is really rare..."

In this small hotel that was temporarily isolated from the sounds of shouting, screaming, and looting, Zhou Ye nodded gently, and at the same time communicated with the plastic flower that was still in the pure white space.

"Create a projection."

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure."

But there was no change in the blockade. The dim environment remained the same, but the fire spread faster and the shouts in the distance became louder.

Outside the blockade, a law enforcement officer on the wall of Kiyomizu Temple widened his eyes in surprise, staring straight at the outer city in front of him, which was shrouded in darkness.

"Do you think that is a light screen?"

"What..." His teammate beside him responded impatiently, but turned around and was also stunned.

I saw a surrounding light screen lit up above the black blockade. After flashing twice, it actually began to play the picture. The monsters and the fire were all presented one by one.

At this moment, the most central thing was a piece of open space in the broken outer city. There was no life there. There was no living creature except the muddy ground.

But the fire jumped and spread endlessly above, making a terrifying roar in the windless situation.

In just thirty seconds, the ground was charred by the blazing fire. The dry land cracked and suffocating smoke emanated from the cracks. Even through the screen, one could feel the burning heat in the air.

"This cracked pattern... looks like some kind of altar." "It looks so

familiar..." An old man in the inner city also looked up at the screen, but after seeing the pattern in the center of the fire, he became confused.
