At seven o'clock, when Chu Changqing, Qingmiao, and the other two were on the second-class road to Chang 'an, the sky that should have been bright had turned completely dark.
" It's only seven o'clock now. Logically speaking, the sky should be dark after eight-thirty. As expected, the Blood Moon isn't that simple…" Chu Changqing frowned as he watched the blood moon slowly appear.
"Qingmiao, where are we now?”Feeling that something was wrong, Chu Changqing immediately lowered his head and asked Qingmiao, who was still driving in front of him. Qingmiao quickly replied,""Master, we have just entered Chang 'an. Qishan County is 50 kilometers away!”
"Qishan County…" Hearing Qingmiao's words, Chu Changqing narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. There was no light above Mount Qi in the distance, which made Chu Changqing feel that something was wrong.
The Great Xia Dynasty had always divided the regions into five units: province, city, county, town, and township. A city plus a county had to have a population of more than five million to be established, and a medium unit like a county had a population of more than one million.
There was no light in the sky above the county town with a population of one million. This made Chu Changqing think too much. After thinking for a while, Chu Changqing could only say,""Qingmiao, speed up the journey. We have to take a look at Qishan County in front!”
"Yes, Master!" Hearing Chu Changqing's words, Qingmiao immediately drove the ox cart forward. She even used the secret of the Wind Technique character from the Wind Empress Mystic Gate to speed up the green ox's pace.
Just a few minutes before Chu Changqing realized that something was wrong with Qishan County, the transportation line of Qishan County, which was originally crowded with townspeople, suddenly exploded. Under the explosion, the entire Qishan County fell into complete darkness.
Anyone who had experienced a street blackout would know how terrifying it was when one's entire surroundings suddenly fell into pitch-black darkness and one could only move forward in the darkness with the help of moonlight.
Compared to the residents of Qishan City who had houses and could still light candles, the townspeople who gathered in the open space of the city and set up tents could be said to be very helpless.
Although the cabinet had issued the order in the afternoon, there were only less than ten martial artists and a few thousand soldiers in the huge Qishan County.
In the absence of surveillance, it was undoubtedly difficult for a few thousand people to control a county with a million residents.
Looking at the pitch-black Qishan County, a man standing on the roof of a tall building immediately gritted his teeth. A power outage was definitely a sinister method. Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but pick up a walkie-talkie and press the speak button.
" I am the captain of the guards, Wang Jun. Inform all the high-rise buildings to turn on the strong searchlights and protect the surveillance area. The evil spirits tonight will definitely not have it easy. Prepare to ask for help from the Guardian Division at any time. Finally, please remember our mission. Even if we fight to the last person, we must protect the people of Great Xia!”
"Understood!" Upon hearing Wang Jun's order, the person in charge of the Qishan Guardian Division on the other side of the walkie-talkie calmly replied, then turned to look at the bright office.
When the person-in-charge ended the conversation, hundreds of specialists from the Guardian Division stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
Faced with so many people's gazes, the person-in-charge looked at the youngest few specialists and then said,"At the same time, turn on the searchlights from all the high-rise buildings. The Second Bureau is ready to ask for help from Nanzheng in the south, Longxi in the west, and Chang 'an in the east.”
After saying all this, the manager relaxed and continued,"I know that your families are in the city and are likely to be attacked by unknown evil spirits, but…But we have no choice…
"As officials of Great Xia, please remember the oath you took when you took office! You are people who swore to protect Great Xia with your life. I know you are sad, but let me tell you, I am sadder than you!”
" Just one minute before the blackout, my wife was in labor in the hospital. Without the lights, I have no hope for them. Since there is no hope, please put down your little hope for the time being and protect the big hope of the 1,375,700 people of Qishan. Now…" Work!"
As the person-in-charge finished speaking, the hundreds of specialists were stunned for a moment. Then, they sadly gave out the instructions that he had just said one after another.
Among the sorrowful specialists, a few girls with shallow eyes were crying as they worked. They wanted to send messages to their families to ask if they were safe, but they didn't have time to do that in such an urgent environment.
Country, country, and the world were simple words, but at this moment, they seemed so heavy.
While the guards were working, in a residential building in Qishan County, a man lying under a blanket heard the sound of marbles coming from upstairs…
.....
I'll go out for supper. It'll be seven tomorrow. Don't stay up late and wait.
