"Everyone, move forward, don't stop, don't rest, it's not the time to rest yet... Come on, put him on my back, don't wait, hurry up."
On a street not far from Iris Street, a large team was moving quickly towards the south city gate.
Felix adjusted his posture and carried the boy whose legs and feet were slightly injured steadily on his back, and then he walked quickly to the front of the team.
It's not completely dawn at this time, the deep night has not yet faded, and the panic caused by the magic changes and turmoil at night is still hanging on everyone's face. Last night, many equipment and equipment in Iris Street and the Legal Committee Station were
The protective rituals and mysteries in operation were also affected to varying degrees, which caused a considerable degree of commotion.
Fortunately, neither of these two places has enough crystal mine warehouses to cause explosions. What was previously transported into the city were processed and processed finished magic crystals and new steam weapons with relatively low magic content. Therefore,
, although the survivors were forced to work for most of the night due to the turmoil, there were no obvious losses in the end.
However, the seemingly limited but extremely strange earthquake, as well as the clearly detectable magical changes in the environment, made Felix, who was responsible for personnel mobilization and transfer affairs, extremely alert and nervous.
As someone who had received Shuge's warning, Felix's attitude towards these subtle changes could be said to be extremely sensitive. He immediately organized a team and risked being attacked by the descendants of the Dark Abyss.
A quick round of reconnaissance was conducted in the southern urban area at night.
After confirming that everything was normal in the southern city, and that there were no descendants of the Dark Abyss active at night on the streets, Felix immediately informed General Boots and Hermit Jean of the discovery, and an extremely difficult meeting ensued.
Later, the original personnel transfer plan was changed and all tasks were arranged in advance.
In this matter, the sword-wielding hermit Jeant stood firmly on Felix's side.
As a spell caster, Jeant was very aware of the possible serious consequences of changes in the concentration and stability of magic power in the environment, and the unknown cause of such changes made him even more frightened, so he decisively mobilized
The survivors and some soldiers in the Legal Committee camp gave full support to Felix's transfer plan.
Perhaps the descendants of the Dark Abyss have really given up on these "ordinary foods", or perhaps luck is finally on the side of the survivors this time. Although many steam vehicles were damaged by the magical changes at night,
With the help of concentrated manpower and magic, Felix finally succeeded in ensuring the transfer of the two groups of teams.
The new station set up in advance next to the southern city gate also successfully received these transferred survivors and the materials they transported.
When Felix finally got a chance to drink water and eat, the sky had become completely bright.
Although there are still traces of panic from last night's earthquake in the garrison built on the basis of the southern city wall and the southern gate, everything here has resumed operation. So, amid the cordial greetings of many people, Felix held the
Slowly walking forward with a piece of hard bread, he was not deliberately accepting respect and kindness from others, but was fulfilling his duties.
This area close to the edge of the city gate and ceremonial ground will soon be connected to the checkpoints and strongholds built by the Salem City Emergency Committee.
Now, the eyes of all those who arrive here are shining, because they have learned that they will soon have a chance to escape from this terrible hell on earth.
After walking, Felix came to the south city gate.
He had long been very familiar with this place. During the past period, he had saved his own life and that of the children through the supplies that Master Valery of the Legal Committee kept sending in from outside the city.
Looking at the defense line that had been established and the people who were constantly carrying supplies, a trace of trance flashed across Felix's face.
On the day of the Armistice Celebration, this southern city gate was the beginning of all disasters, but now, it has become the hope of survival for everyone... This made Felix's mood become subtle.
Felix stuffed the remaining piece of bread into his mouth, and then he saw several unfamiliar figures standing next to the city gate. They were directing some soldiers to pile some
Organize and return items by the city gate.
"Hmm? Mage?"
Felix's eyebrows moved slightly. He noticed that these spell casters did not seem to be members of the Legal Committee in the city. Although they were also wearing the standard clothes of the Legal Committee, the neatness of their clothes and the overall spirit
However, his condition is much better than that of the mages in the city, and there are no signs of long-term suffering.
"Are they coming in from outside the city? At this time? Coming in at risk?"
Felix was full of doubts, and just as he was walking towards these people, one of them, a male mage with a medium build and a somewhat simple appearance, suddenly turned his head and looked over. He exposed his face to Felix.
With a bright smile, he then raised his hand and said hello very friendly and cordially.
"Is it Mr. Felix?"
His tone was extremely friendly, and he was so humble that he hardly looked like a mage.
Felix was a little stunned. Before he could react, the mage from outside Salem City had already walked towards him: "It's me, Valery... I didn't expect that we could meet so early."
"Valery?"
Felix was a little dazed. He raised his hand and brushed off the two dry bread crumbs stuck to his mouth, and then immediately stepped forward: "Is it Master Valery? Why are you...appearing here?"
"
As he said that, his eyes drifted to the city gate aside, and saw that the huge ceremonial ground that blocked Salem City was still operating. However, the turmoil last night obviously caused some damage to the ceremonial ground. Felix could
See, the translucent 'wall' is now flashing at a slow frequency.
"Of course I came in from outside, in the early morning!"
Regarding this unfamiliar mage, who had indeed helped countless survivors in the city, Felix couldn't show off his usual caution and respect for other mage. He asked anxiously: "
Master Valery, was it the emergency committee that asked you to come in? At a time like this?"
Valery raised his hand and gently patted Felix on the shoulder twice. He glanced at the swaying figures in the camp, and then sighed: "It wasn't the emergency committee who asked me to come, it was me.
I requested it... You should also know something about the situation last night, everything was a mess."
"The emergency committee was worried about a new situation in the city and that the ceremony venue in Salem City would suddenly collapse, so it organized a group of volunteers to come in."
As he said that, he pointed at the mages of various ages who were all busy: "There are more than thirty people in total, which is not a lot... but it is enough to complete the basic work of the committee."
"What does basic work mean?"
"Stabilize the ceremony venue from the inside, explore the specific situation in the city, and also need to conduct the first round of screening of people who are about to leave Salem City."
Valery whispered: "The emergency committee does not allow any monster to escape from the city, so this work must be carried out strictly... This is already the bottom line for everyone, including the plateau and plain countries, and all have reached this point.
reached a consensus.”
"Okay, shall you be responsible for these things?"
"No, it's not me..."
Valery shook his head: "It's a young lake-level female mage. She is a member of the Ernst family. She just arrived in the early morning and then submitted the application directly... Now our temporary team is
All affairs are coordinated by her..."
While he was speaking, Valery's body suddenly trembled, because the young female mage he was talking about suddenly looked over in this direction, and a rather cold aura immediately shook the two people talking.
The person enveloped him, and Felix glanced secretly, only to feel that although the pair of eyes under the other person's lenses looked a little tired, they looked extremely sharp, like two deadly ice knives.
She walked over quickly, her eyes swept over the two of them, and finally landed on Felix's face.
Amidst this sense of oppression, Felix swallowed, and then consciously made a brief self-introduction. After hearing that Felix was currently responsible for the transfer and mobilization of personnel in the city, Weilin En
Ste immediately stepped forward and asked: "Are you the person in charge of personnel transfer? Okay, so do you know a mage named Shuge Ernst?"
"Uh, of course we know each other."
There seemed to be light flashing in the female mage's eyes: "Where is he?"
However, Felix was a little speechless. He hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "If the plan has not changed, then Mr. Sugar is probably in the north of Salem City now... He is staying with those monsters."
Upon hearing these words, Wei Lin's expression quickly froze, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she lowered her gaze to the ground.
After a moment of thinking, Weilin raised her eyes again. Helplessness flashed from her tired eyes. However, before she could continue to ask questions, an unusually dazzling bright red magic light suddenly came from the northern part of Salem City.
It flew up into the sky, and exploded continuously in the air, forming a series of huge circles.
"It's not a universal magic signal..."
Wei Lin's eyes stayed on these weird magic graphics for a moment, and then she immediately turned around and asked: "You should have formulated your own set of signal usage. What does this mean?"
Felix also stared at the sky. He licked his dry lips and replied: "In Mr. Sugar's temporary usage, the red circles represent the mutations of the monsters. The greater the number, the greater their mutations."
The changes are getting more intense..."
He counted the number of red circles in the sky, his voice trembling slightly: "In short, before he left, he asked us that once we see these signals, all matters in the city must be carried out as early as possible, because this means that those' The mud' is changing in some unpredictable direction!"
…
Shuge also spent an extremely difficult night.
However, the intensity of the situation he faced was more exaggerated than what most people experience.
The complete change of the magic power situation in the environment has brought about not only the chaos of various magic crystals and products, but also all the magic creatures who are in Van En and benefit from the magic power itself, are also undergoing rapid or violent changes under its influence. or slight changes.
As for the descendants of An Abyss who are closely related to the An Abyss Palace, the internal changes that have taken place are even more astonishing.
Xiuge's rest at night only lasted for less than two hours before being completely interrupted. The reason was that after being stimulated by the magic power, the descendants of An Yuan in the city began to actively change their strategies. With the continuous mobilization of the subject's will, they are no longer scattered, but emerge from all corners of the northern city, and begin to continuously condense and combine.
Their wisdom has obviously risen to a new level.
Now, the descendants of An Abyss are no longer obsessed with the pipes, gaps and underground channels that ordinary people cannot enter. They have put all their attention on the buildings, perhaps realizing that Xiuge may use some magic or To cover up their whereabouts through rituals, the descendants of An Yuan adopted an extremely crude but very effective strategy - destruction.
That is to say, the most thorough and violent attack will be carried out on all large and small buildings within sight.
The building chosen by Shuge as a hiding place suffered this treatment. Shuge saw with his own eyes that these descendants of the dark abyss gathered into a black hill. Then they imitated the insects and beasts that they had devoured. The body surface transformed into scales and horns as hard as rock, and then they crushed directly towards the building itself.
In this case, not even the protective rituals and the illusions of the Roots of Destiny can guarantee the safety of the hiding place.
Seeing that Xiuge was forced to appear, the descendants of An Yuan were even more ecstatic about it. On the constantly creeping black hills, one after another humanoid shapes that had been swallowed and digested by them appeared. They used Various voices called out to Shuge, invited and even begged. Their language became more fluent and the vocabulary they used became more and more complex.
In this way, Xiuge led his endless pursuers and fled until dawn.
Then he discovered that the bright sunshine no longer seemed to have any influence on these guys. Not only that, they finally relied on their growing wisdom to completely understand Xiuge's intentions.
Faced with the descendants of the Dark Abyss who had begun to show obvious symptoms of disintegration and were preparing to move towards other directions in Salem City, Xiuge had no choice but to send the most serious warning signal to the air.
He only hoped that the survivors in the city and the emergency committee outside the city could quickly advance the evacuation plan...
