Now the cities in the south are in separate positions, and tens of thousands of infected people are moving south from the north every day, hitting all cities like a tidal wave.

In the past, the local security bureau would ask the Inspectorate or the military for help, but now, no one will respond to them.

....

In order to stabilize his territory before the Central Army's full-scale attack, Xia Feng and Black Feather's companions immediately set off.

Their first destination was the city of Funan, located in the northwest.

As a medium-sized city near the border between the north and the south, Funan was the first city to be affected by the wave of infected people, and it can now be described as full of bruises.

A few days later.

When Xia Feng led people to the outside of Funan City, the scene in front of him was really called "spectacular".

...

The concentration area of infected people in Funan City has long since disintegrated, the local security bureau has completely collapsed, and the city gate is like a vegetable market, unguarded, and a large number of people of all shapes and sizes come in and out.

The infected who came out of the city gathered with those passing by and walked through the wilderness.

At the same time, more hungry infected people are choosing to enter the city, hoping to find the supplies they need to evacuate.

....

Xia Feng took the red knife and others to park the car, and then left a few people to watch the car.

"Come with me into town!"

Including Red Knife, Pull Dog, Frost Star, Franca, Razer, Three Wolf Brothers, Snow Monster Squad and others, more than a dozen people from Black Feather entered Funan City from the city gate.

Funan City is much bigger than Hapi City in size, but the chaotic streetscape is Hell and Heaven compared to Hapi City.

As expected, it is not an exaggeration to call Funan, one of the first cities in the south to reach the wave of infected people evacuating from the north.

The entire city's commercial streets, transportation, medical care, public safety, and all social systems have completely collapsed, and people can be seen everywhere on the streets.

At the exits of shopping malls and supermarkets, people are red-eyed and scrambling to transport out all kinds of items they have snatched, including clothing, food, and even goods that can be carried as long as they can be carried.

Restaurants, pharmacies, and jewelry stores along the street were smashed, and people with broken heads and bleeding from physical altercations sat on the ground, unheeded.

The madness of the infected is understandable, and in the face of the expulsion of the national policy, they must carry out such barbaric acts in order to survive, which is also completely expected by the Empire.

The Empire saw only the aftermath of the damage, and for them, the southern cities were not that important.

It's just that when you stand on the street and see the chaos unfolding around you, you'll be shocked.

Once upon a time, Victoria was a symbol of peace, but now, the false peace has completely collapsed.

....

Watching the chaos intensify, Xia Feng must stop it.

He will not deliberately favor the infected, in his eyes everyone is the same, the infected must survive, but ordinary people must also live.

If one group is wiped out in order to save another, what difference does that make with the Empire?

"Big wolf, Snow Monster No. 1."

"Yes."

Xia Feng glanced at the largest supermarket in the business district.

"Take the brothers to seal the entrance first, and don't let these people continue to rob."

"Got it."

"Let's calm down and wait for me to come back."

"Understood."

Leaving Kuroba's companions to calm the chaos as much as possible, Xia Feng quickly went to the government building in Funan City alone.

....

After turning a few streets, Xia Feng found the "heart" of the city.

In front of the building, hundreds of heavily armed military and police officers were waiting for them, and instead of quelling the riots, they were all here.

But if you think about it, it's also a helpless move.

There is an endless number of infected people evacuated from the north, and in this case, it is the most conservative decision to lose the car and shrink the law.

...

After identifying himself to the military police who led the team, Xia Feng was immediately released.

Of course, he doesn't have any official status now, he is neither a nobleman nor a high-ranking official of the Supervision Department, but the name Xia Feng alone is enough for these military police in Funan City to let them go.

It's like people who are inexplicably besieged by a group of hornets, for whom Xia Feng is the only one who understands Ma Feng's language.

....

Soon, Xia Feng met the mayor of Funan City on the top floor of the government building.

The mayor has a fat head, big ears, a big belly, and a standard local official's face, but at this moment, this big round face is full of sadness.

"Lord Xia Feng, you have finally appeared, please, let these infected people let us go of Funan City, it doesn't matter if you expel the infected from us, our small place can't stand the toss, and the people just want to live in peace."

Xia Fengpi sneered without smiling.

"Do you want to live a stable life now?"

"We've always wanted to."

"Then have you ever wondered how the infected live?"

"This.... There's no way around it, we can only do ourselves. ”

Xia Feng waved his hand, not wanting to argue with the mayor.

"Which nobleman's fief is your Funan City?"

"It's the Fowler family."

"What about people?"

At the mention of the aristocracy, the mayor was immediately angry.

"His grandmother's, as soon as the decision of the Yuan Council came out, dozens of members of the Fowler family slipped away overnight, it is said that the Yuan Council changed the fief, and now it has been transferred to the north, which is not obviously a runaway."

....

The nobles of Funan City ran away, which is reasonable.

As the closest southern city to the north-south border, if the local nobles don't run away, it is estimated that the huge wave of infected people will wash away their bones and their teeth will be broken.

Subsequently, Xia Feng asked the mayor about the recent situation.

Now the whole city is in danger, and the Guard Department is not even able to count the exact number of losses and civilian casualties.

Every day, a large number of infected people enter the city, and at the same time, there are also civilians who are under pressure and leave the city to leave the city.

The infected people hate ordinary citizens and officials, and ordinary citizens also complain about the inaction of local governments, and now the mayor is not a human being.

If this continues, it will take half a month at most, and Funan City will exist in name only and become an empty shell.

....

After listening to the mayor's narration, Xia Feng thought for a moment.

"Lord Mayor, do you want to change this situation and let Funan City survive?"

The mayor was indignant.

"Of course, there is no need to say this, now even the nobles have run away, if it weren't for the safety of the citizens, I would have run away a long time ago, the empire's decision is really fucked, Lao Tzu is convinced."

Under the emotion, the mayor scolded and sweared, and it can be seen that he is still a responsible parent official.

Xia Feng nodded.

"I don't have the right to order the infected, but I can let the city of Funan survive the raging floods."

The mayor's eyes lit up.

"What a way!"

Xia Feng looked at the mayor's expectant eyes calmly and said softly.

"From now on, you are a nobleman."

The mayor was stunned and a little confused.

"Huh?"

Xia Feng smiled.

"From now on you are the nobleman and mayor of Funan City, but your allegiance is not to Queen Verin, but to Queen Vina."
