Chapter 809 Disaster
Bystanders just looked at it, and of course they thought it was nothing, but in fact it was far from that relaxing. If you really stayed in this city now, you would feel the horror of the disaster, as terrifying as being in hell.

It was evening, and smoke was rising from every house. Unexpectedly, an earthquake broke out, and the next moment, disaster struck.Houses in the city were damaged and furniture collapsed. I don’t know how many people were injured and died in the huge earthquake that lasted a few seconds. The only thing that is known is that there were faint cries of despair and painful whines in every building. In each building, terrified residents rushed out of the house screaming and fled to the street in terror. Some people rushed back to save the people or things they cared about, but they never came out again.

However, this was not the end, it was just the prelude to the beginning. A few minutes later, a more terrifying situation occurred, because the wind picked up.The earthquake caused many fires, and the wind fueled the fires. Residents who survived the disaster were horrified to see thick smoke billowing in the distance and flames shooting into the sky nearby. The flames rushed between the buildings, trying to devour everything around them.

It’s not that no one wanted to rush to put out the fire, but Yushui said, no.

The frequent aftershocks have become the biggest enemy at this time. Although the destructive power is much weaker than before, every time it shakes, the burning building groans and creaks like a demon's big mouth. The sound of chewing a corpse is the same, which makes people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts even if they are right next to the flames.

With each aftershock, destroyed structures will fall from barely standing buildings. These burning wreckages are the most terrifying killers for those who want to fight the fire. With them, no one dares to approach the fire. , Although just splashing water from a distance may not be harmful, but who knows if the building will collapse as a whole in the next aftershock, completely burying the surrounding firefighters under the ruins and flames.Although the possibility is not great, no one wants to be the unlucky person who is played by the possibility. Therefore, everyone can only run in the street in a panic, watching the fire start to spread.

Yes, the fire started to spread. For cities where the main body of the building structure is wood, earthquakes may not be fatal, but flames are definitely the mortal enemy. Once the flames start to spread and develop into a full-scale fire, then those who did not die in the earthquake The lucky ones will eventually die tragically in the flames and poisonous smoke, and there may not be even one survivor out of ten.

However, knowing this, they are helpless. Fear has destroyed the people's reason. They don't even have the courage to try their best to stop the spread of the fire. Although they know clearly that between putting out the fire and escaping, the chance of surviving is far worse than putting out the fire, but losing it Having lost their sense and courage, they still instinctively chose to run away, letting the fire get brighter and brighter.

"Woo~~~~", the long horn sound suddenly sounded from the depths of the city, and then the same loud horn sound came from many corners of the city, responding to the call from the distance.If the residents are still rational, they will know that this is a summons signal from the Division of Fortune, and it is the highest level summoning signal. With the sound of the horn, the fifteen divisions of the Division of Fortune all over the city will all come out, and the first one will be summoned. For a moment, he was thrown head-on into the battlefield to fight against the disaster that was just around the corner.

The power of God is unpredictable, and misfortune and fortune depend on God. However, the purpose of the existence of the Division of Fortune and Fortune is to do its best to reverse misfortune and fortune. This department, created by a certain person, has been criticized a lot since its birth because of its large annual expenditures. Countless officials They are all desperately trying to reduce this expenditure, which in their opinion is of little significance. Although it has been retained due to the support of the Lord, and although it has played an obvious role in these years, it is still not understood by most people. , but judging from the fact that it only took them a few minutes to start substantive operations, even much faster than the reaction speed of the city defense garrison, it was enough to justify the expense.

If the residents are still rational, they will definitely be ecstatic because of the dispatch of the Fufu Division, and they will surely regain their courage. Unfortunately, fear and disaster have made them lose their reason, and all they see in their eyes are flames and Thick smoke, the cries and wailings heard in the ears, and all that came to mind was despair.

Fortunately, someone helped them regain their sanity.

Along the city's main road, nearly a hundred elite soldiers walked all the way, guarding the lady in the middle. The soldiers did not get too close to the lady. There were eight inconspicuous-looking guards around her, guarding her in all directions.

The lady was not affected by the thick smoke and aftershocks at all. She walked along the street against the fleeing crowd with an expressionless face. She didn't even glance at the chaotic crowd and ignored them as if they didn't exist at all. The soldiers were also quite Roughly, all the residents who rushed over and fell into chaos were kicked directly, followed by several slaps, making them dizzy.In despair, they were beaten for no reason, and the anger filled the hearts of the victims, which gave them a moment of clarity. This was also the most dangerous time, because in their rage, they were likely to attack the soldiers in front of them, in case of triggering a disaster. If there is a large-scale civil commotion, the city will really be doomed.

However, the civil uprising did not happen. In a moment of clarity, they saw the lady surrounded by guards. Their anger faded away instantly, and reason returned to their hearts.

"Lord."

The calls became louder and louder, spreading outwards. This name was like a magic spell. Wherever it passed, the people in the chaos quickly woke up and looked at the focus of all eyes.

However, the lady ignored the calls of these people and walked forward without looking back. Even if the ground shook again, it did not slow down her pace. Surrounded by guards, she walked all the way towards the fire in this neighborhood. In the largest building, there were soldiers who scolded the residents who had fallen into a sluggish tone: "What are you doing standing there, putting out the fire?"

When she reached the biggest fire point, the lady suddenly tore off the sleeves of her wide robe, revealing her fair arms. She used the torn off sleeves to tie up the corners of her skirt to make movement easier. She then took the soldier and handed it over. The bucket of water approached the building without hesitation and poured a bucket of water on it.

A bucket of water had no effect in front of the fire. It just made a hissing sound, but when the sound reached the ears of the people who had just regained consciousness, it was as loud as a bell and a drum, making them understand their current situation.

Yes, why are you still standing there? Put out the fire. The city gate has been closed. It must not be opened yet. Wherever you can run, put out the fire quickly before the fire spreads widely.

The people looked at each other, and then more and more people joined the fire-fighting team. It was not until they saw this scene that the lady showed a smile, approached the flames again, and poured out a bucket of water.

However, the disaster did not spare the city. Another aftershock occurred. As the ground shook, a tall support column fell down and hit the woman who was unsteady.
