Chapter 269: After the Crisis

"Look, it's Ash Heaven, it's amazing!"

"Ah, my leg is about to break, save me, huh?

After Saitama shattered the meteorite, countless scattered sparks caused the people to panic again, and at this time, Yang Xiaolong and the others immediately stepped forward to catch the flint that fell like a cannonball.

When Yang Xiaolong rose into the air and smashed the first boulder, her body was covered with a protective barrier, so that the impact of the boulder did not cause much damage to her, and at the same time, the powerful impact increased her strength.

Yang Xiaolong's ability is not that the more he is injured, the stronger he will become, but the energy absorption, that is, as long as he is attacked, he can become stronger, and the cooperation with the Shining Spirit can be said to be seamless.

Therefore, after receiving the protection and blessing of the Shining, Yang Xiaolong is really like a golden lightning, constantly shuttling in the air, breaking the falling boulders into smaller pieces, although it will still hurt people after splashing, but it will never be as desperate as before.

Stopping on the ground, Shining made sure that Yang Xiaolong would be fine, so he slowly walked through the street, and whenever he saw an injured person, he waved the sword-shaped staff in his hand to heal their wounds.

Although the Shining walked slowly, he walked lightly, easily dodging the falling rubble.

On the other side of the city, Silas was alone, standing in the middle of the street, with a large patch of blood beneath her, the spreading blood as if it were alive, and when she saw someone in danger, she turned into a claw and dragged it away, dodging the impact of the flint.

And she herself kept firing her gun, and a sniper rifle in her hand was like a Gatling, frantically strafing the falling stones.

Because they were immersed in the rescue, they didn't realize that the big screen in the city was scrolling to show their heroic posture of fighting.

Of course, the camera is more for Bangu and Metal Knight, after all, the two of them are S-class heroes, so they will naturally be treated higher.

Everyone showed that they could save lives, but the time was too short after all, and Lewis helped Genos inject so much power, but it was only a few more seconds, and the meteorite went from shattering to completely falling, and it took less than half a minute for the meteorite to fall completely.

is not only short in time, but also due to the scarcity of manpower, how can the huge Z City rely on just a few heroes to stop the stone rain in the sky, so in places they can't take into account, there are still countless life and death partings.

When all the fragments of the meteorite had completely landed, Lewis first found Silas and then rushed in the direction of Yang Xiaolong.

When he arrived, he found that Yang Xiaolong was lying on the ground on all fours, panting constantly, the short period of high-intensity battle just now made Yang Xiaolong physically and mentally exhausted, every cell was protesting, and now he didn't even want to move.

On the other side, Shining was standing in front of a ruin praying silently, when her hood was completely open under the storm of rubble, her originally white face was even whiter with grief, and her hands holding the staff were shaking violently.

Lewis clearly saw that among the stones of the ruins was an outstretched arm, and the slender appearance indicated that a poor child was buried inside.

Anyone who sees such a scene will be uncomfortable, especially the Shining as a healer, Lewis does not want to see his teammates alone and is sad, so he walks over and comforts: "It's not your fault, you've done your best." ”

This comfort was too weak, and the Shining was silent for a moment when he suddenly burst out laughing, and there was a hint of mockery in this laughter.

"No, it's all my fault, if I can ......"

As she spoke, Shining glanced at the sword-shaped staff in her hand, then tilted her head, her eyes full of pain, and in that pain, there was a little disgust.

Lewis didn't notice all this, and he was in a bad mood at this time, if the Heroes Association didn't evacuate all, but chose to organize people to escape the disaster, then there would be fewer casualties.

"Is it really right to give up hope before you can fight, to be completely rational?"

From the beginning to the end, the Hero Association didn't think that this disaster would be prevented, because it was the result of their calculations, but human beings have not relied on calculations again and again to get to this day.

Some people may say that it is extremely foolish to hope for miracles, but they are mistaken, human beings have come this far not because of miracles, but because of hope to create miracles.

If there is no intention of even fighting it, then humanity is doomed to stop there.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and Lewis couldn't help but look up at the sky, not knowing what to say.

After being silent for a while, seeing that Silas had already carried Yang Xiaolong on his back, he patted Shining's back and forced a smile: "Let's go back first, we have done our best, and let the professionals come for the rest of the evacuation and rescue." ”

The Heroes Association has been evacuated, but the hospitals and police departments here are still operating, and although they are ordinary people, at this time, they are more like heroes.

When everything calms down, it's time to start rebuilding from the disaster.

And the first thing the Hero Association did was to sort out the ranking of heroes.

"Wow, Lewis, you and Silas have both moved up a lot in the rankings, straight up to 22nd and 23rd in Division B. ”

After the meteorite crisis, Lewis and Silas both rose dozens of rankings, and Yang Xiaolong also rose a few places, reaching 31st place in the A rank, but it was Shining, although he showed a staggering healing skill, but it was still C-level, and it was only 157th in the middle level.

In addition, Genos was promoted to S-rank 16, Metal Knight was promoted to S-rank 7th, Banggu was still in third place because he was already very high, and Saitama, who was like a savior, also stayed in C-rank, and is currently ranked 5th in C-rank.

Looking at the new rankings, Lewis was full of sneers in his heart, in this crisis, the Shining didn't know how many people he saved, and he played a greater role than Yang Xiaolong, but he only rose to about 100 places in the C rank, and Saitama was even more outrageous, and he actually stopped at the C level.

And those who are vegetarian and don't think about how to appease the people, but update the ranking as soon as possible, do they think that people who really have justice in their hearts really care about these false names?

However, seeing Yang Xiaolong's happy face, Lewis still didn't want to ruin her interest, so he smirked and said, "Let's stay here for a few more days, and then we can go back to City A." ”

After the meteorite crisis, the next one is the Deep Sea King, although that guy appeared in J City, but it is not far from A City, and when the Deep Sea Clan appears, he will rush over immediately, and he can definitely kill it before the Deep Sea King does anything.

Lewis's abacus played very well, but Yang Xiaolong questioned at this time: "Why did you arrange the plan so well, as if you knew it in advance, did you let us stay in Z City, did you already know that there would be a meteorite falling?"

Lewis actually wanted to say that it was a coincidence, but he choked on Shangyang Xiaolong's clear eyes for a while, and couldn't say anything.

Silas was curious, but she didn't think much of it because she didn't think Lewis would be bad for them.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and while Lewis was making up nonsense in his heart, Shining, who didn't like to talk much, said: "Maybe it's the intuition of the strong, this kind of thing is not unusual." ”

In the world of "Ark of Tomorrow", there is a profession called "Scourge Courier", they are often dealing with natural disasters, although they cannot predict natural disasters 100%, but they are much more sensitive than ordinary people.

In the eyes of Shining, this meteorite crisis is a natural disaster, and Lewis, as the strongest in the team, can perceive it in advance, which is not a miraculous thing.

Hearing the explanation, Yang Xiaolong nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Lewis with even more curiosity, now she very much wanted to know what the higher-level power was all about.

Lewis on the side couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat, and sighed in his heart that he had a group of good teammates, who could always take the initiative to make up for it and help him resolve the crisis.

Seeing that everyone had no more questions, Lewis told them to rest well and come to inform them when they left.

When he left the room, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he quickly returned to his dormitory, turned on the computer and checked the latest news.

The headlines are naturally the meteorite crisis that has just passed, and the comments are all invective.

The object of abuse is, of course, Saitama.

Those ignorant people thought that Genos had blocked the meteorite and there would be no disaster at all, but it was Saitama who made a move, and there were so many casualties.

The people don't know, after all, their vision is limited, and they have lost their homes and relatives, and they have nowhere to vent their anger, which is understandable.

But at this time, the association didn't come out to refute the rumors, as if everything had nothing to do with them, this kind of thing, Lewis couldn't bear it.

Now I'm just a B-level and don't have much say at all, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything, at least I can shut up some people who fanned the flames.

The merciless invective made Lewis unable to stand it anymore, so he closed the computer with a "snap" and walked out.

Due to the abundant funds of the association, the various branches did not cut corners in the construction, which is called a solid anomaly, and the falling gravel did not make the branch of Z City good, but the other buildings are not like this.

Along the way, it was like the end of the world, and even after several days, there were still weepings in the rubble, but fortunately, more people were engaged in rebuilding and building their new homes with their own hands.

As Lewis came to a clearing, a demagogic shout caught his attention.

"Since you can't stop the meteorite, give it to other heroes, it's all because of your recklessness that caused such a big tragedy!"

"Look at this city, it's all your fault for making this miserable situation!"

"Don't you feel guilty, do you deserve to be a hero?"

One sentence after another, as if it contained magical power, made the surrounding people all look dull, and then anger welled up in their hearts.

And the person who was blamed was none other than the real hero, Saitama.

Lewis looked from afar and saw Saitama standing in the center without saying a word, silently bearing all this, and in the high place, two strong men in vests were yelling hoarsely, and the anger of the crowd was all ignited by these two people.

These two are Vest Black Hole and Vest Tiger, not only a pair of brothers, but also heroes of the association, one B-class and one C-class.

And they also have an identity, that is, members of the vest gang, the vest gang, like the blowing snow group, is used to suppressing newcomers, and at this time, in order to deal with Saitama, they did not hesitate to win over the people, wanting to defeat him mentally.

Seeing that more and more people were gathered, the expressions on the faces of the two men became more and more excited, and they didn't notice Lewis, who was already angry.

Just when the black hole in the vest wanted to continue inciting, he only felt that his feet were light, and he actually floated in the air.

Not only him, but his younger brother was also lifted up in his vest, and then the two slammed into each other and fell to the ground.

Rubbing his sour nose, the tiger in the vest looked at the person who made the move.

"Are you...... Chi Yan?"

Chiyan Lewis, who is now ranked 22nd in the B class, made them jealous, but the two who were used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard did not dare to say anything.

"Why didn't you speak, didn't you scream so loudly just now?"

Lewis looked down at them condescendingly, and that contempt was like looking at two maggots, and such a look made them angry and quickly crawled up.

Not only that, but the two of them also put on a fighting posture: "Don't think that you are great if you are ranked high, I am also a B-level hero, and my little brother is next to me, two fight one, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"

Dare to be hard at the end of his death, Lewis only felt extremely ridiculous, his eyes were sharp, and his heart had already moved to kill.
