Strictly speaking, the entire city of Flalende is an infected area.
The safe zone is only maintained at the city hall and a circle of blocks around it. And it is difficult for them to devote their energy to clearing more safe zones, because the dandelions will float and move, and they do not have so many resources to keep the fire in the safe zone all the time.
There are not that many manpower.
All the city hall can do is to warn all residents through broadcasts not to go out, lock and block doors and windows, and hide in closed environments such as bedrooms, cupboards, and basements, waiting for possible rescue to arrive.
A bonfire was set up at the door of each building in the safe zone to disperse the dandelions that broke through the perimeter protection and drifted into the safe zone.
In front of some fires, there were figures gathered in tight clothing, with their heads wrapped up. Personnel wearing beak masks were urging them to get closer to the fires and take off their coats one by one.
"They are the people rescued by the scavengers from the infected area. They will be arranged into the house after flame disinfection." The city owner's assistant explained.
Fortunately, the buildings around the city hall are mostly shops or banking companies and other facilities... there is enough room to accommodate the survivors.
"You two can move around freely in the safe zone and infected zone. If you need supplies, go to the square in front of the city hall to get them."
"Do you have a separate wooden house?" Anna asked from under the black robe.
"I'm sorry...what are you referring to?" The city lord's assistant did not understand what Anna meant.
"Keep a distance from other buildings and it is a wooden house that is easy to burn." Lu Li said, he guessed what Anna wanted to do.
The city lord's assistant thought for a moment and told them: "The Antria Gallery and Library are all made of wood and are kept away from the surrounding streets. The gallery is a little further away from the library outside the safe zone. You two want to..."
The city lord's assistant suddenly realized something and added in shock: "With all due respect, lighting them will only clear out the surrounding dandelions, and there are many precious works of art and books inside -"
"It's another way. Maybe we can clear out the dandelions in the nearby blocks." Anna interrupted him.
Clean up a few blocks... The city lord's assistant was a little moved: "I have to ask the city lord..."
He hurriedly ran back to the city hall in the distance, and soon returned to Lu Li out of breath: "With your permission, the Lord of the City, I would like to ask you two if you need any help."
The assistant to the city lord admired the courage of the temporary city lord. The art works in the Antria Gallery could almost buy half of Rendezvous, but he actually allowed it to be burned without taking time to move the treasures.
"Bring enough kerosene to cover the building and take us there," Lu Li said.
Lu Li and Anna followed the city lord's assistant back to the square in front of the city hall. They were the only figures in the whole square who were not wearing protective clothing. Lu Li was protected by Anna, and the city lord's assistant learned from Valentine - he thought that a
A city lord who does not wear protective clothing can make people feel at ease and not panic.
The city lord's assistant asked the resource allocator for a team of scavengers and a full 100 pounds of kerosene. He originally wanted to ask for more, but the kerosene was consumed much faster than the scavengers brought it back, so they had to keep it.
Enough kerosene for safe zone use.
After everything was done, the city lord's assistant picked up a set of protective clothing and said to Lu Li, "Please wait for me a little longer."
"No need, we will protect you." Anna said.
The city lord's assistant paused for a moment. He heard the story about Lu Li and Anna walking down the long street, and the dandelions fearfully surrounded them. So he put down his protective clothing and returned to Lu Li to lead the way.
The flames outside the safe zone were like an invisible wall, cutting off the blood-colored mist floating in the outside world. The steps of the city lord's assistant who was about to enter the infected zone stopped for a moment, and subconsciously slowed down.
