Chapter 194: What happened in the city
Crunch~
The heavy door of the church was pulled open from the inside, and dim light shone in from outside. Three men stood behind the door looking out. One of them made a move to leave, but saw someone standing still. So he didn't know what he was thinking, and his footsteps stopped in mid-air without falling.
Of the three, only Tang Ken noticed a few steps out of the door that there was no one around him.
Then he looked back with a puzzled look: "What's wrong with you?"
Behind him, Ke Lin and Li Ming were both at the door and did not come out.
This suddenly gave him a bad feeling.
"It's okay, it's okay, hehe..." Li Ming laughed. While speaking, he glanced outside and touched his neck, as if he was remembering the memory of his head flying out.
But before he could finish, Colin behind him suddenly raised his leg and kicked him in the butt, sending him flying.
"Don't delay."
Colin retracted his legs and saw that both of them were fine. He said seriously, "We still have a lot of things to do today."
He could determine from the smell in the air that there should be quite a few people outside this dead and empty city, and these people seemed to be familiar faces - the poor and ordinary residents near the town.
"It seems like a lot of people were driven here. Was it the work of the First Zoo Corps?"
Colin had a lot of doubts in his heart. How long had passed in this world? Where did those people from the First Legion go...
Shaking his head slightly and collecting his thoughts, he walked towards the position of the other female subordinate.
"Why didn't you two go out just now?" Tang Ken touched Li Ming's shoulder while walking. He waited for the other party to turn his head before asking in a puzzled voice.
"Uh, this..." Li Ming hesitated slightly, and seeing that the boss showed no sign of stopping him, he roughly told him about the killing by opening the door.
Of course, he did not describe the power of the Knight of Virtue in detail, but just told him that at most he suffered a wound as big as a bowl, which was not a big problem.
"Even if there is a problem, the boss can easily save you, so don't worry about it."
Easily saving you before your body rotted, Li Ming silently added some details in his heart.
Duncan was skeptical when he heard this, but when he thought of Colin's ability, he didn't doubt it too much...
Compared with Li Ming, who spent seven days fishing in the church and tried to catch earthworms every day to supplement protein, he has seen more power from Mr. Colin, the bonfire agent.
However, they didn't say much, because after walking out of this strange empty city, they saw that there were quite a few people in the forest covered with dead branches.
Colin stopped and looked at them. There was a large group of short, dirty homeless refugees, about three hundred in number. However, unlike the ones he had seen before, most of these refugees were wearing loose red clothes.
Without giving it much thought, he knew that this should have been distributed by the First Legion to resettle the disaster victims.
And the moment they saw him, some of the victims seemed to have thought of something. They looked fanatical, shouted loudly, and knelt down directly.
"It's the savior! The sacred bonfire savior! It's the savior who sent the army of gods to save mortals!" As he shouted, the refugees knelt down in a large crowd.
“Ah, this…”
Colin blinked. After these people knelt down, he could even see the "Made in China" labels on some of the red clothes that had not been torn off in time.
"Tsk... my country is so great..."
Colin complained, and his eyes moved to see some people who had not yet knelt down—the nephew and deputy of the warden Calder, a tall and thin young man whose name I forgot for a moment...
These people looked a little embarrassed as they looked at the refugees kneeling devoutly around them.
Everyone else has knelt, so wouldn't it be inappropriate for them not to kneel? But if they kneel, they are the knights of the kingdom!
In the awkward moment, Colin shook his head slightly, then looked at the group of fanatical people and raised his hand, wanting them to stand up, but unfortunately the people caught up in the frenzy did not notice his action.
"It's really... fanatical."
After thinking about it, Colin secretly took out the "Ring of the Fire Ruler" and poured out a little blending oil.
Immediately followed by a "crash" sound, a raging fire burst out, forming a huge fireball above his head.
After absorbing some of the Fire Possessor's aura, the negative effects of using this item were greatly reduced. At most, he just felt like he was thrown into an oven at 70 or 80 degrees, which could last for quite a while.
At the same time, feeling the huge flames, everyone finally fell silent, looking at him devoutly, waiting to speak.
Colin endured the discomfort of being put on the stage and said, "Okay, everyone stand up. Next, you will follow their arrangements."
Then, Colin took out most of the supplies and handed them over to Li Ming and Tang Ken. He also gave them equipment such as "Slaves of Money" and "Mark of the Power of Gluttony" for temporary use, asking them to take over this part of the victims. He then turned his head to the warden's nephew, indicating that they should talk elsewhere.
Not long after, after arriving at his place, the warden's nephew couldn't help but ask: "Why are you here?"
"It's normal for me to be here, but why are you here... How long has it been since the disaster? What was the result? What's the situation now?"
Colin asked curiously.
"About half a month, about fifteen days has passed." The warden's nephew wondered why Colin didn't know, but he quickly gave an answer.
"Fifteen days. If I count carefully, I did miss two entries..."
Colin thought thoughtfully, according to this situation, if he didn't come in at noon every Monday, would this world directly skip the "plot" of that week?
Later, in a conversation with the warden's nephew, he roughly understood the situation at that time.
After the "First Legion" transferred all the residents out of the city, they re-reinforced the seal and fought against "Hunger" inside. No one knew the specific situation of the battle because everything had been closed.
Outside, the "rabbits" that were not that big but were about two and a half meters tall rescued them, distributed food and clothes, and then asked them to bring people to this place to find the bonfire sacrificial site.
The warden's nephew finally found this strange place a few days ago. It was a completely dead area. It was hard to imagine what had happened here .
However, during the investigation, they quickly found the bonfire sacrifice site, and then began to bring those people in.
As for the reason why they cooperated with those people, it was simple...
Now, the only city that can accept these refugees is the "City of Wheat Ears", but it is impossible for the "City of Wheat Ears" to accept these people. Most people or forces in this kingdom do not care about the lives of the poor.
For them, as long as there is enough, it is enough. If there is more, let them consume it among themselves. If there is less, they are ordered to have more children.
The situation of "City of Wheat Ears" is obviously the former.
Therefore, if we don’t want them to die in the wilderness , the only way is to resettle them in this way.
Carde and others felt that given how powerful those people were, they would not be able to deceive them.
