Chapter 196: The Great Earthquake in the Royal Capital (2)
The leylines shook for only a few seconds, and the whole of Mierte fell into a violent tremble. The terrible natural disaster did not come and go as most people think, but from the beginning it was like a flood that opened a dam, and soon some geologists noticed the strangeness of the earthquake, which was completely unabated and seemed to never stop, and suddenly cast a haze in everyone's minds.
Even if they find a temporary shelter now, what building is so indestructible that even an endless earthquake can't destroy it?
Looking down at the eastern part of the city, the large buildings collapsed as if they had been extracted from the foundations, and smashed on the sparsely grounded city walls, which suddenly stirred up smoke and dust that enveloped almost the entire city, blocking the way to escape to the outside of the city. Although the small houses in the city were relatively stable, they soon fell one after another like dominoes, and it didn't take long for the tremors to spread rapidly, and although the magnitude of the shaking was not as large as that of Dongcheng District, it still caused a lot of casualties throughout the city.
And at this moment, a flash of light was speeding through the city, and it was Grimm. He ran as fast as he could, but he kept turning back halfway.
Along the way, collapsed homes, collapsed streets, and falling rubble and debris pose one deadly trap after another, and ordinary people have no way to escape, but to watch their loved ones die – or even wait for their own deaths. Green dismantled a tomography machine, but he couldn't go back in time to destroy the other, and all he could do now was to do his best to save one more one.
Like a city monkey, he climbs and moves, rescuing one trapped or dangerous citizen after another in the air, on walls, and under rubble. As everyone knows, such a move is like a ray of hope through the haze for the people in danger, even if it cannot save every soul who has fallen into the abyss. But it also calmed down the angry and fearful city a little bit.
"Al, did you find it?"
Green, who ran against the wall by inertia, grabbed the little girl who fell from the roof and screamed, and did not forget to ask in a hurry.
"It's been narrowed down to the palace! Wiseman says there could be another triangulation! Albert's voice over there was also very urgent, as he now had to communicate with Grimm while using spells to keep the guard tower from being destroyed by the shock, and at the same time to help Wiseman in his search. After a brief analysis of the tomography machine at hand, the two mages discovered that this magic machine had a self-protection mechanism. In other words, the tomography machine, which does not know where it is hidden, will continue to send pulses to the earth's crust until it runs out of energy. Don't look at the fact that it is only the Dongcheng District earthquake now, other areas are only affected, and after a long time, the shock radiation may even produce the ultimate disaster of a national nature.
"Let Ah Bu protect you, it's up to you whether you can find that damn machine qì!" Green let out a heartfelt roar, and one jumped sideways off the wall. Dodge the rows of flower pots that crash and shatter as they fall, and then place the little girl in shock, speechless, in the middle of the street that is not easily affected, "Run to the square, don't look back!" Then the footsteps kept rushing out, leaving only the little girl with a twinkle in her eyes, who was carried away by the kind-hearted people who came from behind.
I hope it's too late.
Green, who was in the midst of the speed force, did not notice the tracer lines on his side like a protective layer at all, but considered the development of the situation with a gloomy face. The next second to get the information from the second tomograph. And he was already on the move. Mephisto had been thrown into the trial space by him, and the female knight Siona wanted to follow. Not to mention the speed gap, Green also believes that her role in the Order is far more important than protecting herself, and convinces her to return to the Royal Anglican Knights station, and she sets off for the East City to find and shut down the last tomography machine.
It's just that in the middle of leaving, the young lord of Jinlunga received a message from the system.
【Trigger Bonus Quest - Royal Capital Earthquake Arc】
Farewell reunion mission system. Unexpectedly, at such a juncture, Green was both excited and annoyed. Accustomed to the normal life of the real world, Green rarely gets the task hints of the golden thighs, and while he was just starting to hurry, Green took a quick glance, but found that this mission was very different from the past.
Mission Name: Support the royal capital in the earthquake
Mission Type: Bonus Mission
Mission: Rescue people in need; Turn off the tomography machine.
Quest Reward: Choose according to your goal completion.
'I save people's lives. I have a clear conscience'
He quickly glanced at the detailed introduction below, this time the mission is calculated by points, each civilian saved gets one point, and the reward points are different depending on the status, and the shut-off tomography pulse machine is enough for 10,000 points, but it will continue to decrease with the passage of time, and at the bottom there is a list of rewards that the system can redeem, marked with the details of use and the price of points.
But what the is going on?
At first glance, Green is a little angry, saving people out of conscience, and this reward given by the system is simply insulting. But after saving a few people at this time, after thinking about it, he was a little relieved, if this inexplicable system was randomly selected to possess himself, then this task is easy to understand, the result of the system is obvious, if I have a kind personality, if it is a more neutral or evil type, it will only be driven by this kind of interest to save people.
Well, I wronged you, and it can be regarded as well-intentioned...... Right?
Green turned around, let go of a trolley that had been shaken open, and gently pulled the man next to him with his right hand, taking him out of the range of damage. I have to say that the original intention of the system is still good, at least it is really motivating.
"Hurry up and give it to me! If you don't give it to me, you'll chop off your hand! ”
At this moment, among the crowd fleeing in a hurry at the intersection in front of him, there was a rough roar and the sound of women crying. Green glanced at Shang Yuan when he was far away, and his heart sank again.
Bang -
In the speed of the force, Green came extremely fast, and his right arm, which was erected like steel bar, slammed into the abdomen of the scantily clad wild man, and instantly knocked him out.
"Run, go to Hope Church!"
The woman in front of her was still in tears of horror, and Green gave a quick command, dodged and left. It is true that the square is less dangerous during the earthquake. But in the face of these unreasonable guys, in the end, they still have to rely on the forces with armed forces. The rude guy was dressed as a barbarian, and he was obviously an audience who came to participate in the martial arts conference, but when there was a major earthquake in Mierte, these people were immediately exposed to the wildness and took advantage of the fire to rob, and how many spectators and warriors participated in the martial arts conference? said that it is a collection of heroes from all walks of life in the world. It's hard to hear, it's a big nest of thorns! Not to mention the loss of combat power caused by this natural disaster to the future, the nobles and dignitaries killed and injured in various countries alone are enough for Rodlan to drink a pot.
What's more, this kind of thing is happening now!
Emergencies appeared one after another, and Green was anxious but helpless. The more anxious I am, the more I am in a hurry, but I am not a three-headed six-armed sea god, how can I be all-encompassing?
With such a heart like fire, the majestic palace also continued to enlarge in Green's vision. He gradually gave up the trivial work of saving people, and his personal ability was limited, and no matter how many people he saved, it was better to turn off the earthquake machine as soon as possible. The rest of the work can only be done by others!
I hope those "teammates" can live up to expectations.
Hearing a loud bang, Green jerked his head to see the tower about to collapse in the dust. This kind of building is good-looking, and the ability to resist earthquakes is also outrageously low, Green gritted his teeth, and directly urged the awakening power to target the palace. Extreme speed initiates a sprint.
Ten times the speed of God!
……
In the lobby of the inn where Green had stayed, the little dwarf was still muttering about his ale. There has been no news of Green for more than half a month. Wildling Beard wondered if he had been tricked by the human imp, and if it weren't for Albert's occasional return to contact him, he would have even planned to leave here and continue his business.
Bang Dang -
Beard slammed down the ale cup, and the noise outside made his already unhappy mood even worse.
"Noisy basket noisy. It's like a goblin on a twitter - a nasty, dirty, noisy goblin! ”
But when the innkeeper ran out in a panic, Beard couldn't sit still.
He hesitated, but jumped out of his chair and staggered out to check on the situation. As a well-known businessman, although he prides himself on never following the crowd. But the dwarf was clearly not inhospitable.
But just by looking at it, Beard felt the world spin around, and sat on the ground.
"I-my Luna, what the hell is going on here!?"
……
Although the old Taoist hall in the outer city area is far away from the earthquake center of Dongcheng District, it has been some time since the beginning of the earthquake, and this can be seen from the bamboo sword that has begun to jump on the weapon rack.
"Brother!" The girl, Yang Lian, ran to her brother's room in a bit of a panic. She had just heard about what happened outside, and she had never had any opinions, so she could only find her brother and let him make up his mind.
Although his brother can't see, nothing seems to be able to stop him.
"Lotus."
What quickly relieved the little girl was the blind young man who reached the quarterfinals in the martial arts competition. He sat peacefully in the tatami room, then reached out and grabbed the little girl, "Why can I feel the turmoil?" ”
"There's an earthquake, brother, there's an earthquake in Mierte." Yang Lian told Tufman the truth. The latter was silent for two seconds, then suddenly stood up.
"Can't wait any longer."
Yang Lian looked up at her brother suspiciously, not understanding what he was talking about.
"Although I keep my promise to Mr. Lord, I can only say sorry for the time being, after all, it is a matter of human life." Tufman whispered to himself, as if he were speaking to someone. At the end, he instructed Yang Lian, "Lian, bring wound medicine, gauze, and self-defense weapons, and follow me." ”
Yang Lian nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly asked crisply, "Brother, where are you going?" ”
The blind boy with infinite glory in this life raised his head, as if he could see the miserable hell on earth outside.
He replied firmly, "Go and save people." (To be continued......)
