Chapter 296 Burning the City
Lan Shiruo's eyebrows twitched violently twice. The epidemic, the epidemic in the end times, was in the breeding period when the heavy snow suddenly fell. After the weather turned warmer, it was in the incubation period, always waiting for the right opportunity and could break out at any time.
The alternating cold and heat, with prolonged periods of constant temperature, is conducive to the growth and outbreak of pathogens. People are knowledgeable and common-sense, and with the constant high temperatures, they have anticipated diseases and various preventable disasters, and have made preparations and prevention measures. As long as they are not particularly suicidal, they have done a good job. Therefore, epidemics are not the main disaster in the current apocalypse.
Having never encountered a large group, Lan Shiruo still thought that perhaps, unlike in her previous life, humans would not die in large numbers due to epidemics. Perhaps, for some reason, this life would change the original horrific ending.
I didn't expect it to change or be ignored; I just didn't know it. Perhaps in many places, there have already been heavy casualties from various illnesses. It's understandable when you think about it. The earthquakes have continued. Although they're not strong, causing little damage, and resulting in few casualties, they've still cracked many areas, revealing hidden dangers hidden beneath the surface that are difficult for humans to detect. This makes it difficult for humans to prevent them, and disaster is inevitable.
Ao Chengyi quickly pulled out a mask and put one on each of them, then sprayed them with disinfectant. Afterward, he had to ask Duan Jianghe to prescribe some medication. After breathing in the stench all night, he wasn't sure if they were okay.
This action completely enraged the people in the small town. They shouted and threw things at hand and rushed towards the large group.
"It's all because of you, the evildoers. You have harmed us. You are the disaster. You deserve to die. All of you should die." They will not die. They are not sick. It's all because of these beasts. These beasts have harmed them. It's the people who brought the beasts with them who have harmed them. They are the culprits and deserve to die.
The crowd was excited, and it seemed that only this could ease the fear in their hearts.
They firmly believed that the disease was carried by animals and transmitted to humans. The fact that their symptoms bore a strong resemblance to the plague only solidified their belief. Seeing rats in the group only heightened their hatred for the group, their pent-up emotions seemingly finding an outlet, eager to release them.
They hated all animals and all people. No one cared for them. No medicine, no food, no water. They could only wait to die. But they didn't want to die. Living in the end times was already difficult, and these beasts wanted to hurt them like this. They hated them, really hated them.
The beasts all lowered their front legs, ready to attack. Damn humans, going crazy for no reason and wanting to bully them. Humph, dream on.
The fat rat nestled in Miaomiao's arms and shivered, as if it felt again the scene before the end of the world when it appeared in front of humans. Everyone who saw it would shout to kill it and throw all kinds of things at it. It was scared to death and panicked several times, escaping death.
Miaomiao stroked the fat rat's fur and comforted him, but was extremely angry. They believed that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Being sick and having a hard life were certainly worthy of sympathy, but they should not vent their anger on the fat rat and the animals. It was a typical idea of wanting to take others down with them, which was infuriating.
Lan Shiruo asked Xiao Feifei to comfort the animals, not because she was afraid that they would tear these people apart, but because she was afraid that they would be infected with something. Who knows if the disease is carried by animals and whether it will be harmful to the animals.
These people are pitiful, but that is no reason for others to indulge them and allow them to vent their anger and dissatisfaction at will. The big team does not owe them anything.
Ding Jiajia unleashed a hurricane, sending the person charging towards him flying. He fell to the ground, wailing, unable to get up for a long time.
These people were so skinny that killing them would be a piece of cake, but the big team had no interest in getting their hands dirty.
After being blown away, they cleared a path and left without even glancing at these people. The beasts' eyes were cold. If their master hadn't been there, they would have torn these hateful humans to pieces.
Seeing this, everyone was anxious and angry, but they were powerless to do anything. They could only fall to the ground and cry, glaring at the team fiercely.
"boom"
A fireball exploded above the houses without warning, blowing the dilapidated and crumbling houses into pieces. Broken bricks, stones, dust and sparks flew everywhere, burying many people, injuring many people and setting many people on fire.
"Ah, help!" Screams were heard everywhere. The big team hid quickly, otherwise they would have been one of them.
Fireballs fell from the sky suddenly and swiftly. Before anyone could react, countless more fireballs landed in the city. The weather was dry and the entire town was suddenly engulfed in a sea of fire and smoke.
Those who were far away from the main group and were not alarmed by the previous shouting and fighting were directly turned into debris along with various buildings and disappeared in the fire without even a sound.
Some people who heard the noise but didn't have time to run out were trapped under the reinforced concrete slabs, crying and shouting, "Help, help me, help me!"
Someone was running wildly on the street when a fireball hit him on the head. He was instantly engulfed by the flames and burned into a fireman. No matter how frantically he rolled on the ground, he could not put out the fire and eventually turned into a pile of charcoal.
No one bothered the big team anymore, everyone was just concerned about escaping, running, and shouting.
But no matter what they did, they could not escape the countless fireballs coming from all directions.
In a few moments, the desolate and silent little town turned into a purgatory of ghosts and wolves howling.
The little friend's face was gloomy, and he blew away the various brick and stone flames that fell on them. "Damn it, don't let me catch him, or I will kill the bastard." Feng Tao roared angrily.
"Rush out?" Lu Chaoyang asked.
Ao Chengyi nodded, "Go ahead."
None of the friends planned to save the people in the city. Although these people were pitiful, innocent, and wronged, they were not saviors. Moreover, these people had just been shouting for war and killing. They could not repay evil with kindness. Such a great task should be left to others.
Rushing to the door, I found that all roads were blocked. There were not only roadblocks, but also trenches. Fireballs were constantly being thrown in from the air. There was no way out, neither in the sky nor on the ground.
Even so, it is not difficult for a large team to go out, but this behavior annoyed the little friends. How can they live up to the reputation of the Dragon and Phoenix Team by running away like this?
"Hit him." Lan Shiruo said in a deep voice.
The friends were waiting for this sentence. Ding Jiajia created a tornado, which rolled up a large number of fireballs. It turned back in the air and flew back to the place where it came from, exploding with a loud bang.
A series of screams were heard outside the city.
The vines spread out countless branches, and blew the bricks and stones that were blown away out of the city, making the people outside the city stunned and fleeing in panic.
Ao Chengyi spread out his five fingers, and flames danced in his palms. The raging fire in the city seemed to have sensed some terrifying call and rushed towards Ao Chengyi's palms.
Lan Shiruo summoned a water phoenix, which circled in the sky, sprinkled rain and extinguished all the thick smoke.
Everyone in and outside the city was dumbfounded. What kind of magical operation was this?
"Who is burning the city? Come out." He Lian opened his lips slightly, not making much noise, but people within a radius of three or four kilometers could hear it clearly.
