I have a city in another world

Chapter 6262: The Demonic Tide Spreads
People were hurrying on the streets, and many refugees hid in their homes, not daring to come out, for fear of being infected by the evil spirit and turning into monsters.

In recent times, bad and terrifying news has continued to come in, and demonized infected people appear from time to time.

The demonized people attacked crazily, not caring about their family and friends at all, and caused one extremely bloody tragedy after another.

Most of the primary demonized people were killed in the streets by the government, but the impact was getting bigger and bigger.

The government often uses the simplest and most direct method to deal with people infected with demonic energy, which is to throw them into the fire and burn them to ashes.

Only after watching the demonized infected being burned into piles of ashes can I truly feel relieved.

Panic spread like a tide, causing the refugees to live in fear and anxiety all day long.

However, they don't know that this mental state makes them more susceptible to evil spirits and their transformation into evil faster.

Chaos is like a domino. Once it is pushed down, it will gradually become uncontrollable.

Major cities were horrified to find that there were too many people infected by demonic energy to deal with, and their numbers were increasing day by day.

The once bustling cities and towns have now become increasingly deserted, with the streets as empty as a dead zone.

The avoidance method is indeed effective, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem. The evil spirit is not only transmitted through contact, but also in many incredible ways.

For example, at night, many strange birds flew across the sky, leaving behind all kinds of insects and rats infected by evil spirits.

They quietly turned into hidden sources of infection and approached the refugees.

People hiding at home, unaware that the threat has quietly approached them, are infected silently.

Most of the people infected by the evil spirit were unaware at the beginning and continued to hide in their homes.

When they discovered something unusual, they dared not leave their homes for fear of being discovered and killed.

The longer time passes, the more serious this situation will become, and once it breaks out it will be completely out of control.

Now many territories are facing similar situations and are at the last moment when the hidden danger of demonic calamity is about to erupt.

Once the devil's calamity breaks out completely, it will be like a dam bursting thousands of miles away, and there is no way to control it.

The major cities are aware of the hidden dangers, but have no solution at all, simply because the infected are too secretive to conduct a large-scale and thorough search.

During the search, there is a possibility of being infected and transformed into a demon.

The solution of the major building cities is to hire wild warriors to capture the enemies, while the residents of the building cities should stay away from them as much as possible.

This job was very dangerous and no one was willing to do it, so the major building cities offered generous rewards for it.

For wild warriors who lack resources for cultivation, this is an extremely rare opportunity, and once missed, it will be difficult to encounter it again.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Many warriors and cultivators have applied to join and help the major cities to clean out and kill those infected by evil spirits.

But it is precisely because of this that the wild warriors witness horrific scenes and fall into crisis from time to time.

……

In the territory of Baishalou City, in the center of a refugee city, the streets are quiet and filthy.

Ever since the demonic catastrophe broke out, the city has become more and more deserted day by day. From time to time, one can hear crazy roars and the sight of thick smoke rising into the sky.

The frightened and anxious refugees stayed at home as much as possible and would only leave when they had no choice.

There is no peace even if you hide at home, as there are always demon-killing guards knocking on the door to check, and you are not allowed to refuse for any reason.

If you refuse to open the door, the Demon Exorcists have the power to break in or even set fire to the house.

In order to eliminate the source of infection from the evil spirit, each large city issued an order to destroy all items related to the infected.

Not only clothes, shoes and socks, but even houses must not be spared and should be burned as much as possible.

Since the order was issued, billowing smoke has often been seen, indicating that houses and buildings have been burned.

Most of the people infected by the evil spirit had no chance to escape, and were reduced to ashes along with their own houses.

At this moment, a fully armed team appeared on the street and marched slowly on the empty street.

They were wearing black rune-marked robes and strange masks with a few straw-yellow exorcism talismans stuck on them.

Around their necks, there are rings woven with spiritual herbs, which emit a strange smell.

This substance can expel evil spirits and keep people awake. Long-term use can also strengthen the body.

When you first see the way these people dress, you will think of evil sorcerers, those evil guys hiding in remote places. Sorcerers are like rats crossing the street, and everyone wants to kill them. However, this group of people have a legitimate official identity and are specially hired demon-killing guards.

Every time they arrive at a door, someone will go and knock on it, waiting for the owner to open it.

If you don't open the door on time, they will break in.

After the door is opened, check according to the markings on the door and go to the next one after confirming that it is correct.

Once any abnormality is detected, the mechanism on the mask will be activated, emitting a sharp, long whistle.

When other demon-killing guards hear the sound, they will immediately provide support and rescue their companions in distress.

Most of the people were still normal, just panic-stricken, haggard and uneasy, and did not show any signs of demonization.

But the atmosphere of uneasiness became increasingly strong, making people feel depressed and desperate.

These members of the Demon-Exterminating Guard dare not let their guard down, knowing that danger may occur at any time.

A young warrior, who had just become a demon-killing guard, was assigned to knock on doors and conduct home inspections.

After new members join, they will be arranged to knock on the door for inspection and directly face the infected people who may have been demonized.

When new people join, they can replace them. If there are no new people joining, they will take turns knocking on the door to check.

This job is very dangerous, but newcomers have to do it. Besides, if they really encounter danger, there is a group of companions to rescue them.

After knocking for a long time, the door was slowly opened and a white-haired old man walked out.

He had a miserable look on his face, and looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of fear and disgust in his eyes.

His lips moved and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no word came out.

Facing the gaze of the young warrior, the old man silently made way, revealing a shabby and dirty house.

A couple could be seen sitting quietly beside the table, looking at the young demon-killing guard standing at the door without saying a word.

Their expressions were numb and their eyes were empty, like puppets.

Sitting across the table were three children, none of them very old, with their chins just resting on the edge of the table.

The children, like their parents, were staring at the stranger standing at their doorstep.

Compared to the numb parents, the child was obviously much more alert, his eyes were still blinking gently and shaking slightly.

There was food on the table, it looked bland, with almost no meat.

As the demonic calamity broke out, all walks of life were affected, and many refugees had trouble even filling their stomachs.

It is already quite difficult to eat on time.

Looking at the mark on the door, I confirmed that there were six people in this family, and the number and identities matched.

Finding nothing wrong, the young demon-slayer nodded and prepared to turn around and move on to the next house.

The old man raised his hand tremblingly and was about to close the door when suddenly a voice was heard.

"Wait a moment."

A bearded companion came over, stood at the door, and silently looked at the family of six in the house.

The young demon-killer was about to say something when he saw this, but his companion sneered.

"So they are eating. Not bad. Children can eat it. Let them eat more."

After he finished speaking, seeing that no one in the room responded, the bearded man's expression turned gloomy.

"I said, let the three kids eat!"

His voice was cold and serious, with no room for doubt, and he even drew out the long sword from his waist.

The young demon-slayer was about to say something when he was glared at by another companion.

This is to tell him to shut up and stop talking.

Facing the warrior with the sword drawn, the white-haired old man trembled and said in a hoarse voice: "The children are full."

"I'm full, I guess I can't eat anymore!"

As soon as the bearded demon-killing guard finished speaking, he suddenly drew out his sharp sword and slashed at the white-haired old man viciously.
