Chapter 175: The High Wall
Dashu County, south of Qingxi City......
Xiang Yu and her sister Xiang Qi were shopping, and Xiang Qi asked: "There is something I have forgotten to ask you, did you go to Qingxi University to watch the party, is the young man who sang the same person who saved your life last time?" ”
Xiang Yu looked puzzled, "Which young man?" ”
Xiang Qi pouted, "What else are you pretending to be in front of me?" It is said on TV that this kid's name is Tang Yun, he is a junior physical teacher and an awakened person, and he is simply a genius among geniuses! ”
Xiang Yu nodded, his expression a little lost, but Tang Yun's matter had already been publicized in major media, and he didn't have to keep it secret.
"Well, went to ......"
Looking at Xiang Yu's expression, Xiang Qi hesitated and said.
"I'm also from here, I know what you're thinking, this young man is too good, you better not waste time on him."
Xiang Yu didn't answer, but changed the topic, "You see that the high wall over there in Qingxi City has almost been repaired, I thought that we were very close to the city and could be merged into the city, but now we are completely isolated." ”
Dashu County is one of the few counties very close to the city, and the closest place to Qingxi City is only more than 200 meters, but in this turbulent world, these two hundred meters are like a chasm, Qingxi City has no intention of expanding at all, or does not have the ability, and even built a thick city wall up to 10 meters on the edge of the city.
Facing Xiang Yu, who was evading the topic, Xiang Qi just wanted to say a few words to her, but suddenly an earthquake struck.
After the earth's rotation slows down, each layer of the earth's crust, mantle, and core descends at different speeds, and the strong friction force is suddenly released, causing frequent earthquakes, and even earthquakes began to occur in the geological safety zone of Qingxi City.
The buildings in Qingxi City are very strong and there is no obvious damage, but many houses in Dashu County have cracks and even collapsed.
Dashu County immediately became a mess, and many people were injured by the collapse and falling objects.
Fortunately, the earthquake came and went in a hurry, and Xiang Qi looked at Xiang Yu with palpitations, "It's too sudden, are you okay?" ”
Xiang Yu shook his head, "I'm fine." ”
Xiang Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it looks chaotic here, it should be fine in a while, we still have to scrape together money to buy a house in the city, no matter how expensive it is, we have to go, and when the wall is completely repaired, there will be problems here sooner or later." ”
Xiang Yu frowned, and said a little anxiously: "Sister, hurry up and find a safe place to hide, something big is going to happen!" ”
Xiang Qi thought that Xiang Yu was frightened, so he comforted: "It's okay, let's go home first......"
Without waiting for Xiang Qi to finish speaking, Xiang Yu took her hand and ran towards an unfinished building beside her.
Xiang Yu's current physique is closer to that of a junior physico, and Xiang Qi was pulled away before he could react.
"It hurts! Hurt! Hurt! You tap! Xiang Qike couldn't stand Xiang Yu's pull, so he immediately screamed.
"If you don't leave, you'll die!" Xiang Yu directly picked up Xiang Qi and ran into the unfinished building quickly.
"Dead? You're not kidding, are you? ”
Xiang Qi's heart tensed instantly, what the hell is going on? Xiang Yu can't be mentally ill, right?
"Do you think I'm joking?" Xiang Yu didn't stop, and ran directly to the top of the twelfth floor with Xiang Qi on his back.
Xiang Yu put Xiang Qi down, and as soon as Xiang Qi wanted to ask what was going on, he heard the miserable howl of people on the road.
This is the top of the twelve-story building, and the ordinary shouts are not audible, which shows how terrible things have happened to the people on the road.
"How... What's going on? ”
Xiang Qi was completely panicked this time, she finally determined that it was not Xiang Yu who had a problem, but something really happened.
Xiang Qi wanted to poke his head out and look down from the roof, but was pulled by Xiang Yu.
"Don't look, or we'll die!"
At this moment, the screams of people could be faintly heard from different directions on the bottom of the building, and the voices were full of fear and despair.
"It's... What's going on? ”
Xiang Qi sat directly on the ground, she didn't understand why such a strange and terrifying thing happened after an earthquake.
"It's a merfolk!" Xiang Yu was also a little trembling at the moment, "The mermaid is eating people!" ”
"Merfolk? How do you know, isn't this thing in agreement with us humans to live in a specific area by the sea? Xiang Qi had horror in her eyes, and she knew what it meant.
"I sensed them coming from the sewers before, so I think they knew that there would be an earthquake, so they waited for the earthquake to enter the county."
At this moment, Dashu County is like an anthill that has exploded its nest, and it originally needed to be rescued after the earthquake, but when the mermaid came like this, it was completely chaotic.
The vast majority of humans, even junior physicists, do not have the ability to fight the merfolk head-on, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the mermaid, it seems that the humans can only run away for help.
However, the speed of human escape is far less than that of mermaids, and it is difficult for a county town to organize effective firepower in a chaotic situation, and the entire county is bleeding in an instant.
Not far away, on the high wall of Qingxi City, some soldiers watched vigilantly at the tragic situation in Dashu County.
"What's going on? Why are there mermaids attacking again, isn't it peace talks? This is exactly the same as the tragedy in Wangong County last time! ”
"Hurry up and report to the captain!"
At this moment, the captain walked over with a serious face, "I'm here, what do you want to report?" ”
"Captain, isn't our city under attack?"
"No warning was received."
"Captain, are we going to support the other side? It is impossible for the armed forces in the county town to defeat so many mermaids! ”
"There was an order from above, we are not allowed to go out of the city, as long as the mermaid does not come, we cannot move!"
"But captain, what about the people in the county?"
"What to do? Obey orders! What is the way of the world now? Your mission is to do what you can, not to save the world! ”
The soldier wanted to say something, but after hesitating for two seconds, he chose to be silent, he understood that the captain must know something, and the captain was right, if there was a problem in the city, it would really be over.
The captain looked at the tragic scene in the distance, and his heart was mixed, he knew the inside information, the sewers in the urban area were under close monitoring, and no mermaid dared to invade, but the county town did not have the ability to do close monitoring, or the county town thought that humans and mermaids had made peace, and there would be no more tragedies.
This can also be directly understood to mean that the outside of the urban area is basically in a state of self-destruction, and those areas only have economic contacts with the urban area, which has long been shown by the high construction of the urban wall.
The captain silently looked at the tragic situation in the county town and ordered: "If someone comes to the city, let them enter the city, and if the mermaid dares to come, he will shoot the mermaid, but we can't go out!" ”
In the case of human preparation, it is difficult for mermaids to enter the city, and this is the only thing the captain can do for the people of the county, as for whether these refugees can survive in the city, it is not something he can take into account.
It may not be long before the city is closed to people from entering and exiting easily.
