In the middle of the night, there was a loud bang, accompanied by a strange blue flame that fell from the sky towards the old eastern district of Lingwu City. Half of the city's residents were immediately awakened.
When Yang Guo sat up from the bed in shock, what she saw through the window was the fire that filled the sky in the old district of the eastern city. All she could hear were the screams, cries, and curses of adults and children.
Dongcheng Area was an Laocheng District that was difficult to demolish. Most of the houses were wooden houses from the 1960s and 1970s. Other than some elderly people living there, there were also some coffins and paper money shops that were not very popular. However, there were also some shady businesses gathered there. Half of it was Bliss, and the other half was Bliss. The Dongcheng Area could be said to be a very unique place in Lingwu City.
"Look! The fire spread from the Dongcheng Area to our side.”A woman gasped and screamed from upstairs.
Yang Guo raised her head and looked at Auntie Wu, who was wearing a sexy rose-red nightdress with big black eye makeup. She stuck out half of her thick black shoulder and pointed at the fire in the Dongcheng Area with a shocked expression.
Yang Guo couldn't be bothered to shock Aunt Wu's burning heart, and her mind was shocked by the strange scene in front of her.
The Dongcheng Area, which was located to the east of the city center, was surrounded by a layer of reddish-yellow fire. These flames were radiating in a strange way. His speed was unbelievably fast. It would take almost half an hour to cover the entire Lingwu City, which had a population of 100,000.
Yang Guo stretched her hand out of the window. The air outside was cold. However, she did not feel any trace of wind.
Was she dreaming?
He couldn't wait for Yang Guo to pinch his thigh to confirm, and was awakened by a burst of pain from his fingers.
"Hiss!" Yang Guo took a deep breath and put her left index finger, which was dripping with blood, into her mouth. She lowered her head and happened to meet a pair of big, clear eyes.
The five-year-old Wang Xiao expressionlessly put away the blade in his hand and said indifferently,"You didn't answer when I called you just now. I thought you were sleepwalking again, so I woke you up this way.”
"Oh, oh!" Yang Guo, who originally had an unhappy expression, was stared at expressionlessly by her half-brother, who she had just met not long ago. Her anger instantly weakened. Even when he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a scar."What, what's wrong?"
The child's eyes widened in disbelief. His fair and tender finger pointed at the window that was already half red. "We're not escaping?" he asked.
"Oh, escape!" Yang Guo seemed to have just woken up from that strange absent-minded state. The exclamations from the outside world grew louder and louder. The entire neighborhood was filled with screams of panic.
Yang Guo quickly took the child's hand. It was soft and cool. He recalled the coldness that had passed through his palm just now. Yang Guo quickly let go of the child's hand and turned around to enter the bedroom."Wait for me!"
Her fair and tender little hand scratched in the air, and her voice was a little flustered."What else do you want to do at this time? Do you want money over your life?"
"He's here!" Yang Guo came out of the bedroom. In her hands was a child's coat and a black travel bag. She quickly put the coat on the child. She put her backpack on her shoulder and reached out to hold the child's hand.
The child didn't show the expected softness. He stubbornly put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door with a cold face. Yang Guo stared blankly for a moment, not making a sound. However, he was the first to walk past Wang Xiao and open the door.
The lights in the stairwell had already been turned off. The residents inside were holding their phones to illuminate the stairwell as they dragged their families downstairs.
The dazzling light flashed across the faces of Yang Guo and her brother. Those people cursed and acted on their own. At this time, no one cared about the lives of the two little ghosts.
Yang Guo lowered her head and pursed her lips. Her fair and thin hand tightened the backpack on her shoulder. She squatted down and hugged Wang Xiao, ignoring the child's shocked gaze.
"You're small, I'm afraid I'll get lost."”
Closing the door, Yang Guo carried Wang Xiao and followed the crowd outside.
The neighborhood where Yang Guo lived was an old one, and the public area was limited. Usually, everyone would go their own way, but now that there were hundreds of people in the neighborhood, it seemed crowded.
Yang Guo's small frame hugged Wang Xiao tightly. She was silent as she followed the crowd and squeezed towards the door.
The more anxious one was, the more easily one became irritable. The crowd was filled with curses.
"Damn it, that damn thing stepped on my foot.”
"Hey, my things! Who the f * ck took my things?"
"Boohoo, Daddy, Mommy, I'm so scared!”
Ling Wuren liked to greet the female members of the Fang family when he spoke. Yang Guo's father also liked to speak in this dialect. In the past, Yang Guo's mother couldn't adapt to it, and the two of them had quarreled because of this reason.
The smell of smoke and dust in the air became stronger. Someone shouted in the sports field of the neighborhood,""Hurry, hurry! The fire was coming. Damn it, why aren't you running! Waiting for death!"
The crowd at the entrance of the residential area became even more anxious. These people did not bother to curse anymore. They squeezed and ran out. Some anxious young people even climbed along the wall.
Yang Guo's thin body carried Wang Xiao as she rushed left and right through the gaps in the crowd. She squeezed out of the crowd and the luggage.
The road became even more chaotic as all kinds of vehicles blocked the road. Several car accidents had already happened at the intersection. Ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars were all stuck together. They shouted at each other, but no one could do anything to the other.
This fire was too strange and spread too quickly. The local guards of Lingwu were mobilized, and the government issued an order to retreat.
Above the city, the alarm blared from the loudspeaker. All citizens, please pay attention, please pay attention. Everyone followed the army and retreated to the west of Ten Mile Pond. The army had already prepared a quarantine zone there. Attention all citizens
The alarm sounded repeatedly.
Yang Guo opened her black cat eyes and searched for the direction of the army in the crowd. There were dozens of soldiers in camouflage uniforms maintaining order at the crossroads. Their faces were resolute, and their expressions were calm. It seemed that they were not disturbed by the grim situation in front of them at all. Their command to retreat was swift and effective.
"Let's go over." Yang Guo hugged Wang Xiao and wanted to go over.
"No, where are we going!" The child frowned and pointed at another alley with determination. When the child turned his head, he inadvertently blocked Yang Guo's left line of sight. There seemed to be a military vehicle parked there, and some children were being separated from the adults.
Yang Guo was stunned for a moment. Her black cat eyes flashed slightly, and there seemed to be a smile flashing through them.
"Yes!" Yang Guo nodded obediently. She narrowed her eyes and looked coldly to the left.
Yang Guo put on the hat on the child's clothes. She shrunk her weak figure and walked toward the alley with her back hunched.
There were many mountains and roads in Lingwu. All kinds of big and small roads were complicated. Ten Mile Pond was a must-go spot for primary school students. Yang Guo still knew the place.
Because the alley was close to the road, most of the residents had already left. On the way, some valuable luggage was thrown messily. Yang Guo's small figure carried Wang Xiao as she walked under the eaves.
"Wait at the red alley in front. There should be a bicycle hidden at the stairway.”Wang Xiao clicked his tongue and wiped the hand around Yang Guo's neck. His cheap sister was really weak. She couldn't take just a few steps.
"Where?" Yang Guo didn't notice the child's disdain at all. She opened her cat's eyes wide. Other than a pile of cardboard boxes at the stairs, she didn't see the shadow of a bicycle.
"Move the cardboard box in front. It should be hidden behind.”
"Oh." Yang Guo put the child down and used the red light in the sky to open a few cardboard boxes on the surface. Sure enough, she saw a bicycle behind.
"Wow, this car even has a backseat. It's awesome!”Yang Guo pulled the bicycle out and patted it hard." It's still breathing."”
"Nonsense!" Yesterday, he had seen an old man in this building secretly modifying the bicycle that was originally a shared bicycle from the kindergarten window. He was just trying his luck today. He didn't expect that there would really be one.
"My Pin 'er is really amazing.”Yang Guo was pleasantly surprised as she rode on her bike. The thick smoke in the air became heavier. She didn't know how far the fire was from her.
"Pin 'er, spread your feet. Don't get caught in the wheels.”The 16-year-old Yang Guo gritted her teeth and rode her bicycle carefully. On the way, he kept brushing past some pedestrians.
Wang Xiao, who was sitting in the backseat, rolled his eyes. Was his cheap sister stupid? She did whatever he said and did not even doubt him. He was really stupid. Although he was complaining, the child consciously moved away a little and hugged the girl tighter.
"Bang!"
A few consecutive explosions came from behind them. Judging from the sound, it was actually at the intersection where they were just a moment ago. It should be a series of car explosions.
The two of them frowned and their hearts tightened. They were not far from the crossroad. According to the strange nature of the fire, the fire at the crossroad would also spread in a circular reflection. That would definitely divide the city's residents into two halves. When the two fires converged, it would greatly reduce the time they needed to rush to Ten Mile Pond.
The flames in the sky became brighter and brighter, and the reddish-yellow flames mixed with the serene orchid flames distorted the despair on the faces of the pedestrians on the road.
Yang Guo even heard the desperate laughter of the people behind her. She didn't dare to look back and pedaled faster. Lingwu City seemed to have instantly turned into hell on earth. The evil in some people's hearts was also magnified in despair.
Someone abandoned his wife and children and ran away alone.
Someone opened his suitcase and piled up jewelry and money all over his body. He lay on the road and started laughing foolishly.
Some of them were so ugly that they directly pulled those who were running forward, as if they wanted to drag them down with them even if they died.
someone
"Yang Guo, be careful. The person in front wants to steal our bike!”Wang Xiao was already standing in the back seat, both hands on Yang Guo's shoulders.
"I know. Be careful." Yang Guo tried her best to ride the bicycle steadily in all kinds of obstacles." I have something in my backpack. Use it to smash him."”
Wang Xiao hugged Yang Guo's neck tightly with one hand, unzipped her with the other, and reached inside to take out the things inside.
"Ah! F * ck your mother!" The man cried out in pain and hugged one of his eyes.
Yang Guo looked at the broken pieces on the ground and couldn't care less about the phone she had just changed. She turned the car to the left to avoid the person's random grabbing.
"Yang Guo, right."
"In front."
"Left."
The items in the bag decreased one by one. Wang Xiao looked at the pink sanitary pad that he had just thrown out, and he did not know what expression to make.
No, he was still young and did not know what that was!
The flames behind him were getting closer and closer, and they could even see the spread of the fire with the naked eye. Yang Guo and Wang Xiao finally arrived at Ring Road. The number of buildings here had clearly decreased, and there were only a few scattered buildings. However, there were many trees around them, and they did not know how the fire would spread. They could only try their best to retreat to the Ten Mile Pond protected by the government to be safe.
The roads in the suburbs were wider, but there were more people. Not far from Ring Road, Yang Guo and Wang Xiao were stopped. Because the road to Ten Mile Pond was too narrow, the troops guarding the foot of the mountain did not allow vehicles to enter for safety reasons. Therefore, other than small vehicles, everyone could only walk. Some people would rob at corners that the troops could not see.
Yang Guo looked at the tall and strong man in front of her. She bit her lip and reached her hand behind her to tighten the child on her back. She got out of the car nimbly, picked up Wang Xiao, and ran into the crowd in front.
"Hmph, damn it, short-lived!" The man cursed as he picked up the bicycle from the ground and prepared to ride it. However, he found that Yang Guo was still riding a good bicycle just now. Not only did the rear tire burst, but the chain also fell off. Now that time was tight, who had the time to repair the bicycle? The man had no choice but to curse. As he walked forward, he looked around to see if there were any other unlucky people behind him.
Wang Xiao, who was in the crowd, looked coldly at the man behind him. Seeing that he didn't chase after her, she turned around and wiped her black hands on Yang Guo's fair and thin face. He only nodded reluctantly when he could only see a pair of black cat eyes.
Yang Guo didn't pay attention to the small hand on her face. She lowered her head and carefully looked at the road to avoid falling. However, after the child finished, he curled his lips and lowered the child's hat even more.
If the child lowered his head at this moment, he would be able to see the two rare canine teeth at the corner of the girl's mouth. They were small and very cute!
"Woo, we've finally arrived at Ten Mile Pond!" Cheers rang out from the crowd in front of the team.
Yang Guo looked at the sparkling light in front of her, and the heart of the Ten Mile Pond that meandered for ten miles finally settled down. She and Wang Xiao followed the crowd and prepared to cross the bridge.
However, they were blocked by a group of soldiers on both sides of the bridge. They were dressed in black and white military uniforms, just like the group of people at the crossroads. However, it seemed different from the troops that people had in their minds.
"Children under the age of 18 have to undergo a check-up.”A soldier with a cold face was about to place a Taiji-like jade close to Yang Guo's forehead.
"Uncle, my sister is already eighteen. Look, this is her ID card." Wang Xiao opened his innocent eyes and handed Yang Guo's identification card to the soldier." Uncle, I'm not even eighteen yet. I'm only five years old. You can test me."”
Like a curious baby, Wang Xiao tiptoed and pressed his forehead against the jade in the soldier's hand when Yang Guo wasn't paying attention. When Wang Xiao stuck the jade on it, it suddenly emitted a golden light, piercing the eyes of the people around it.
The soldier was very happy and did not care about Wang Xiao's mischievousness just now. He hurriedly glanced at Yang Guo's ID card and put her aside.
"Wait here, I'll report to the doctor.”The soldier left in a hurry.
The golden light made Yang Guo dizzy. She closed her eyes in discomfort, and a similar scene seemed to flash in her mind. In his mind, someone touched his head and sobbed softly. Guo 'er, don't be afraid. We're not afraid! Yang Guo's head suddenly hurt, and the scene behind her was no longer clear.
"Sister Guo 'er, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
An anxious voice sounded in his ears. Yang Guo opened her eyes and saw Wang Xiao's flustered face. At the same time, there was a needle in his hand that was still stained with blood.
Sure enough, Yang Guo put her left index finger into her mouth helplessly. Tsk, salty and fishy. Asshole! She had forgotten that she had not washed her hands.
Yang Guo raised her eyelids, considering whether she should tell the child that the ten fingers were connected to the heart. This was really painful!
"What are you guys talking about?" A silver-haired man in a white casual outfit with a crane pattern asked gently as he bent over.
Yang Guo's gaze turned to the person who had come, and she unconsciously wrinkled her nose. The person who came gave her a strange feeling. He should be very old, but his skin was very young. There were no wrinkles on his face at all. He looked like a young man who had deliberately dyed his silver hair. However, the stench of decay and vitality on his body could not be concealed. If Yang Guo had to describe it specifically, it was like a pot of jasmine and a bowl of bad shrimp paste placed in front of you at the same time.
Yang Guo swept her gaze across the surroundings, but the others seemed to not have smelled this smell, all expressionless. Even Wang Xiao, who was in front of him, did not seem to have smelled it. His expression did not change.
Yang Guo lowered her head and pressed her nose against the child's lemon-scented hair. He tried to use this method to wash away the strange smell from the tip of his nose.
Wang Xiao didn't know why Yang Guo had suddenly become so clingy. He moved his hands, but he did not push the person above him away.
Wang Xiao looked at him and didn't say anything.
Han Jianguo didn't understand why he was suddenly so unpopular. The two children ignored him. He touched the young face uncomfortably and said with a smile,""Did you just test that you have a pure Yang body?”
"Uncle, what is a pure Yang body? Can it be eaten?" Wang Xiao looked like a curious baby.
Han Jianguo's lips twitched, and the smile on his face faded a little." A pure Yang body is a body that cannot be invaded by evil. After cultivation, it could resist evil energy and defend the stability of the Yin and Yang World. Every pure Yang body should contribute to the country.”
"Uncle, I'm only five years old. I'm still the flower of our country.”Wang Xiao's eyes widened, and his five fingers almost poked Han Jianguo's face.
Han Jianguo moved back uncomfortably and stood up straight. He glanced at Yang Guo, who was hiding behind Wang Xiao, revealing only half of her dirty face, and said,"You're still young. When you have a guardian, of course you don't have to. When you turn 12, someone will come looking for you.”
Han Jianguo stopped paying attention to them. A low male voice came from the walkie-talkie on his body."Professor Han, the fire in the city is under control. You can come in now."
"Well done! We'll definitely be able to get the materials for the World Stones this time.”Han Jianguo led a group of soldiers in black and white checkered military uniforms and rushed into the fire.
Yang Guo raised her head to look at the flames that filled the sky. Lingwu City had already been completely submerged in flames, and even the flames on the surrounding mountains were slowly spreading. However, in the face of the fire that filled the mountain and the city, not only did they not show any fear, but they also showed a faint excitement. What was going on?
Was she dreaming? Yang Guo wanted to pinch herself again.
"What are you two waiting for? Everyone has crossed the bridge, leaving only the two of you.”The soldier said to the two siblings who were in a daze. Obviously, he was unhappy with the two kids who had offended Professor Han.
Yang Guo didn't care about his attitude. She and the child looked at each other, and the two of them went up the bridge with doubts. The fire had already spread to the bridge at Ten Mile Pond, almost burning the corners of their clothes. Yang Guo gritted her teeth and quickly stretched out her hand. Then, she gritted her teeth and retracted her hand. Her fair hands were not red or swollen at all, but she could feel the burning sensation of the fire. Along with the burning sensation, there seemed to be a bone-chilling coldness spreading to his heart. Yang Guo unconsciously shivered, and she suddenly felt even more dizzy. She seemed to have caught a cold.
Wang Xiao, who was beside him, also withdrew his hand. Other than the slight heat, the fire seemed to be fake. He actually didn't feel anything. Now, he wanted to prick himself to see if he was dreaming.
