Chapter 785: Disaster Watcher

Some people say that natural disasters are punishments from the gods for those in the world who are blinded by greed.

It is also said that natural disasters are not punishment, but salvation, the salvation of those who are in despair and cannot resist in the rules set by those in power.

However, whether it is punishment or salvation, anyone in the world of Terra will be as small as a speck of dust in the face of natural disasters.

....

After 2 hours.

Xia Feng stood on a hillside 2 kilometers away from Notting City and witnessed the natural disaster befall with his own eyes.

In the evening, the sky turned fiery red, and it was not the setting sun that stained the sky red, but an overwhelming storm of fire.

"Boom!"

As the first flash of red light poured out of the sky on the city below, the catastrophe that could take all life began.

Nearly 100 meters thick flame tornadoes fell vertically, and everywhere they passed, buildings, streets, parks, houses, all the things created by human beings were ruthlessly torn to pieces.

"Boom, boom!"

The loud thud of the collapse of buildings was deafening, the ruins burned in flames, and objects such as cars were swept into the air by a firestorm and then torn to pieces.

The city of Notting, a historic trading city in southern Victoria, has officially disappeared from the map from this moment on.

....

Of course, unlike Mandal City in Ursas, Notting City retains its most precious spark because of the technology of moving the city.

It's just that although the city can be rebuilt, how many people who have lost their homes can wait until that time?

...

On the hillside.

Xia Feng looked at a post-apocalyptic scene in the distance, and for some reason, his heart was surprisingly calm.

This is the world of Terra as it is, it takes generations to build a city, but it only takes a moment to destroy it.

And under the natural disaster, there are even more terrifying people's hearts, in order to achieve the goal, natural disasters will even become a means for some people to win.

Xia Feng lifted the scarf around his neck.

Even after a few kilometers, a strong heat wave still hit from the direction of Notting City, and the air was accompanied by bursts of burning sensation, and a large amount of source stone material was mixed with it.

If the average person does not take good precautions and inhales too much of this gas, then the chance of contracting ore disease will be very high.

...

The destruction of the outer city of Notting City has long been doomed, this is not a matter of choice, but in the midst of despair, there is still something to be thankful for.

The reason why Xia Feng didn't flee with the people in the area where the infected are concentrated was that he wanted to stay on the outskirts of Notting City to observe the changes in the natural disaster.

According to his observations, the type of natural disaster was a more destructive firestorm, but after half an hour, the natural disaster showed no signs of moving eastward.

In this way, Hapi City should not be affected.

For the sake of caution, Xia Feng still did not leave immediately, he stood on the hillside outside the city, enduring the heat wave and air pollution that ordinary people could not resist at all, and watched for the natural disaster to end.

....

....

The property damage caused by this natural disaster is no longer countable, and in terms of residents, Xia Feng estimates that at least nearly 10,000 people have not been evacuated for various reasons.

As for the troops in charge of the evacuation, the casualties were almost zero, and they left Notting City well before the natural disaster struck.

In addition to residents and the military, the casualties in the areas where the infected are concentrated are completely zero, and all 13,622 infected people have been evacuated one by one, and even the paralyzed patients who are unable to move in bed have been safely transported.

Of course, if he doesn't come, maybe it will be a different outcome.

...

Summer Breeze has been quietly watching the natural disaster, until the night is getting deeper, and the flames in the direction of Notting City gradually disappear.

"Squeak!"

An off-road vehicle stopped not far behind Xia Feng, and Ah Guang wore a protective mask and pushed the door from the driver's seat, followed by Frost Star and Red Knife.

"Brother Feng, I finally found you, why can't I get through on the phone."

Xia Feng glanced at his mobile phone, and the signal had completely disappeared.

Turning around, Xia Feng showed a smile that reassured them.

"I'm fine, the signal will be disturbed for a while after the disaster starts."

Neither Redknife nor Froststar wore masks, which meant little to heavily infected people like them.

Walking to Xia Feng's side, Red Knife looked side by side with him in the direction of Notting City.

"The natural disaster is over, and the city of Harpy is safe."

Xia Feng nodded.

"Well, let's go home."

....

On the way back, Xia Feng learned some about the situation in Hapi City from Ah Guang and the others.

The Empire's natural disaster order did not require Hapi to evacuate, but because of the proximity, most of the residents chose to leave the city spontaneously.

Not only in the main city, but also in the Kilt neighborhood, Captain Roger, Ergou and his mother, etc., the street where the barbecue restaurant is located, almost all the neighbors have run out of the city to "standby".

...

Except for Ah Guang, these guys in their car are all people who have seen the world, and of course, Ah Guang's current mental quality is also very good.

Froststar asked calmly.

"Xia Feng, the natural disaster has passed, do you want to notify everyone to come back."

Before Xia Feng could answer, the red knife next to him immediately vetoed it.

"It's best not to come back, according to my experience, the emission of source stone matter will be very strong for a period of time after the natural disaster, tonight until tomorrow morning, I need to confirm the wind direction, make sure it is safe before letting everyone come back."

At critical moments, the red knife is still very reliable.

Xia Feng agreed with Red Knife's proposal and instructed Ah Guang, who was driving.

"Then that's it, Ah Guang, you send us back to the barbecue restaurant first, and then drive out of the city to let everyone take precautions, for the sake of insurance, don't come back whether you are infected or not, and come back tomorrow after the red knife confirms the direction of the wind."

Due to the interference of natural disasters, communication is very limited, and only the most primitive oral transmission can be used.

Ah Guang nodded.

"Got it."

.....

A little more than an hour later, the car pulled into the Kilt neighborhood of Happi City.

Although Happi City is not a first-tier city, the nightlife still exists, but tonight all the way in, not even half a figure was seen, and the whole city was like an empty city.

It seems that the residents are still aware of evacuation.

Sending the three of Xia Feng to the door of the barbecue restaurant, Ah Guang said through the car window.

"Brother Feng, then I will go out of the city according to your instructions to inform Brother ACE that they are gone, you have to be careful yourself."

Xia Feng smiled lightly.

"The three of us are all infected, what is there to be careful, leave us alone, you go quickly."

"Okay."

....

After Ah Guang left, the whole street fell into silence, and the surrounding neighbors did not turn on the lights, so they should have all gone out to take refuge.

No matter how powerful a guy is, he still has to give way honestly in the face of natural disasters, including himself.

Standing on the steps of the barbecue restaurant, Xia Feng took a deep look at the house directly opposite, no matter what time it was, the house would not turn on.

He didn't know if Styx would take refuge like his neighbors, and he probably wouldn't have been, and with that guy's chattering personality, he would definitely not have taken half a step out of the door.

....

Walking up the steps, Xia Feng was just about to reach out to open the door of the barbecue restaurant, when suddenly, a string of sounds came from the eaves.

"Goo-goo-goo!"
