Chapter 157
The crisis in Ningfu City was saved by the sudden appearance of three people, even if it was over. According to some statistics afterwards, the casualties accounted for about one-third of the population of the real Ningfu City. Among the three major families, the head of the Huang family has died, the head of the Ni family is nowhere to be found, and Chen Kun, the head of the Chen family, is still in his own room, just sitting there all the time, like a fool. The city lord's mansion was empty, and the city lord was nowhere to be found.
The entire Ningfu City has suffered the heaviest blow, and now the Ningfu City is in a mess everywhere. The beast tide came too suddenly, and the city lord didn't report it for his own benefit before, so no one came to the rescue of Ningfu City. No one has come until now, but the main event has passed, and now it is just to help save the life.
The destroyed buildings were also rebuilt by the rescuers and those who were lucky enough not to be injured in the handiwork. The damage that was too complete was put aside, and there were many that could not be repaired. The entire city of Ningfu seemed to have gone back three hundred years overnight. At that time, Ningfu City was still a wasteland.
"What kind of beast tide must be able to destroy such a city like this?" The rescuers looked at the destroyed Ningfu City, and said the most was this sentence. There is really no way, almost all of the entire Ningfu City needs to be rebuilt! The destruction of the beast tide is too thorough.
At night, Gao Wei came to the dilapidated tavern again, although it had experienced the beast tide, but this was not an ordinary tavern, it still appeared at night as before. Gao Wei sat at the only table, holding a whole jar of wine by himself, and a few empty jars of wine poured on the ground beside him. He was in a very bad mood, and he couldn't figure out many things, so he could only use the power of alcohol to temporarily anesthetize himself.
"I can't figure it out," Gao Wei is now drunk, and his face has become red from drinking, "Some people are suffering, why can't they be saved?" After drinking a glass of wine, he continued, "People in the world respect those immortal Taoists so much, why are they no longer people who come out to save people when they are in danger?"
Cup after cup, bowl after bowl, question after question. Gao Wei drank as many questions as he asked, and he really couldn't figure out these questions. Even if it was for their own benefit, why couldn't those immortals come to the rescue of these poor mortals?
He drank another bowl of wine, and when he was about to drink the next bowl, one hand grabbed his hand and poured it down without letting him go. took the wine jar, slowly poured himself a large bowl of wine, and drank it all.
Gao Wei raised his head drunken and glanced at it, and smiled, it turned out to be the owner of the tavern. With a long sigh, the tavern owner looked up at the starry sky and said, "If there were no so-called battles in this world, there would be no need for us guys. ”
Regardless of whether Gao Wei could hear it or not, the boss began to talk to himself there, just like Gao Wei before, with a bowl of wine in one sentence. As if this was the only way to relieve one's sorrows.
Gao Wei also drank, and he drank it with his boss. Before Gao Wei got drunk, he vaguely heard the tavern owner mention a few words: sacred mountain, broken, ancient warrior, contract, wandering.
The night was dark, and Ningfu City was no longer what it used to be. It was so dark that it was hard to see the road ahead, and it was not clear whether it was a house or a huge rock not far away.
When the day dawned, the sun was still rising in the east as usual, but the landscape on the ground was different. There were no tall buildings, no small bungalows, just ruins and wounded people and bodies that had not yet had time to be disposed of.
Gao Wei fell asleep on the mainland, the sun shining on his face, but Gao Wei didn't want to get up. He didn't know what to do. When you go to another place, and when you see a catastrophe, you can't help but do it, and watch those innocent people die? In that case, you don't have to go to the next city, just be here. Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, Gao Wei knew that a plague would soon break out here. As an immortal in the eyes of the world, he doesn't have to care, but these mortals will die a painful death under the torture of the plague.
In this world, there are people everywhere, and there are people of all shapes and sizes. It may not be a big deal if some people die, but it's not the same if they die right in front of your eyes. It's not the same to see them die and watch their vitality drain away little by little.
Not knowing what he should do next is a terrible thing, Gao Wei is experiencing this now. He was very confused, what should he do next, what should he do? Take care of Chen Yue and the already stupid Chen Kun in the Chen family like the Heartless Archmage and the down-and-out scholar? Or go to another place to buy drunk? I don't know, I don't know!
Gao Wei wandered aimlessly through the streets, surrounded by rubble and broken buildings. Those who rescued the people carried out one corpse after another from the rubble and piled them aside. Gao Wei often saw such things on the battlefield, but today he suddenly felt so helpless, as if he should lie in it. Those people, they could have not died, as long as they had acted earlier, they might not have died.
Should they all blame themselves? Is it because he didn't make a move that these people died under the fangs of those beasts? Gao Wei seemed to see the surroundings, and those people seemed to stand up, pointing at Gao Wei and asking: Why don't you save us, we believe in you immortals so devoutly, why do you stop us when we are in danger?
Gao Wei suddenly felt so scared, very ironic, a general who has experienced a hundred battles, he doesn't feel terrible when he brushes shoulders with death on the battlefield, and he doesn't feel terrible when dealing with those ancient lives left over from the ancient primeval world, but now in this small Ningfu City, he actually feels scared?
Gao Wei squatted on the ground, he cried, his mouth wide open but he couldn't make a sound. Finally, he said three words with difficulty: "I'm sorry!" and just squatted on the ground, repeating these three words all the time, and tears flowed as he repeated. It's like everything seems to be his fault, Gao Wei really feels so sad now!
Those who rescued saw Gao Wei, but even so, they just didn't see it. A madman, who would pay attention to a madman at this time? Probably because he was frightened, he became the virtuous person he is now, right?
