Chapter 6730
: Escape from the City
The people living in the city were shocked by the sudden rain of blood.
They had no idea where this extremely smelly blood rain came from, but they instinctively felt fear and uneasiness.
Little did they know that at this moment, several military masters who had entered the courtyard were all shocked by what they saw.
More than thirty charred corpses stood in the yard, distributed in different locations.
The corpse was enveloped in flames and was now burning fiercely, with billowing black smoke rising up.
Black smoke rose up and floated towards the sky above the yard, causing the strange black cloud to continue to expand.
The body does not fall down after the person dies, but burns like a candle, continuously emitting a foul smell.
Such a strange scene was truly unheard of in the past, and it made a group of military experts secretly terrified.
They had now realized that the young refugees who were surrounded in the yard were definitely not ordinary people.
That group of villains selling rice and meat ran into an existence they couldn't afford to offend, and they deserved to be killed.
The officers and soldiers who were killed could only blame themselves for being unlucky to have encountered such a dangerous mission.
At this moment, several military experts suddenly felt a strong fear, feeling that this matter might implicate more people.
It's because the scene in the courtyard and the blood rain falling from the sky give people a gloomy and weird feeling.
Witchcraft!
The young refugees in the courtyard must be practicing evil magic to take revenge on the people in the city.
Their families and friends are all in the city. Won’t they be affected by this?
When several military masters thought of this, they became even more shocked and angry, and immediately wanted to kill Tang Zhen.
He must be killed, otherwise there will be endless trouble.
But for some reason the smoke in the yard became extremely thick, and one could not see anything if one was a little further away.
Even so, Tang Zhen must be found, killed and his evil magic broken.
After making up their minds, a group of military experts entered the smoke and carefully searched for Tang Zhen's trace.
But not long after, screams were heard.
There was no movement in the yard, but there was a group of standing corpses producing black smoke, which made the black smoke even thicker.
But within a few dozen minutes, people who were drenched in the blood rain began to show abnormal reactions.
The skin touched by the rain is now itchy and makes people scratch it uncontrollably.
The more I scratched, the more itchy it became, and soon the skin broke and the flesh was exposed.
In addition to the itchy skin, the stench also makes people feel listless, with continuous vomiting and fever.
This situation was not an isolated case. Many people in the city were experiencing the same thing, and it soon caused great panic.
The people in the city tried every means to avoid being drenched in blood and hid in their homes, not daring to come out.
At this point, the senior official in charge had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack again.
A wave of soldiers rushed in, but soon there was no movement, and no one came out alive.
The frightened officers and soldiers dared not enter the courtyard again. They would rather disobey military orders than die.
The senior officials could only issue an order to block off the entire block and not allow anyone to enter or leave.
If the boy walks out of the yard, he must be killed immediately.
The bloody rain finally stopped in the middle of the night, but the strange things did not stop.
The moon turned blood red, ghosts appeared in the city, and the people's screams of pain were endless.
The skin that was contaminated by the rain has now begun to fester, and the pain and itching are unbearable.
That night, the people in the city suffered greatly.
Early the next morning, people flocked to the government office, hoping that the problem could be resolved.
There were both the city's dignitaries and ordinary residents, all of whom were in unbearable pain and itchiness, and they scratched all over their skin.
The high-ranking officials in the city were in great distress. They also suffered similar symptoms, either pain and itching all over the body or loss of appetite. They were extremely uncomfortable.
That’s not all. When the sun rose, the blood-colored water in the city actually evaporated into mist.
After the fog dispersed, it was as if all the cesspools in the city had been blown up, and the stench was unbearable.
After yesterday’s experience, the people in the city felt uneasy, fearing that there might be something wrong with the fog as well.
But inside this city, the fog is everywhere and there is no place to hide.
People could only close their doors and windows to prevent the fog from entering the house. Some people burned herbs for fumigation or lit candles in the house.
The clinics in the city were crowded with patients seeking medical treatment for pain and itching. The doctors in the clinics were extremely worried. They tried all kinds of methods, but found that the effects were minimal.
One thing is certain, the disease is probably caused by corpse poison and may very likely develop into a plague.
If this is true, this city will inevitably become a drug den and everyone living in it will be infected with the disease.
Upon hearing of this possibility, the powerful people in the city were terrified and prepared to flee out of the city.
Knowing that there are problems in the city, but still staying here and not leaving, aren't you just seeking death?
Although there were refugees outside the city and the environment was far worse than that in the city, at least there was no need to worry about corpse poison.
At the same time, they put pressure on the government to deal with the source of the disaster and kill the young refugees in the city.
In desperation, the government could only send soldiers again to the yard where Tang Zhen was.
The area around the yard was still blocked. The group of officers and soldiers who were carrying out the mission had gloomy faces and looked at the yard with fear in their eyes.
Although the yard was silent and no black smoke rose, the strong stench was enough to suffocate people.
The sun was high in the sky at this moment, and the sunlight was dazzling, but the area around the yard was unusually cold.
When I climbed over the wall to look, I saw that the courtyard was dark and gloomy, and I couldn't see anything at all.
The more I look at it, the more something seems wrong, and the more I feel uneasy.
The senior official in charge ordered his men to pick up cans of kerosene and throw them into the yard one after another.
At the same time, torches were thrown in, trying to burn the yard to ashes.
When the fire was burning yesterday, there was thick smoke rising into the sky because there was fuel in the yard.
The flames have been burning all night, so everything must have been burned to ashes, and the black smoke should no longer rise.
As the torch was thrown in, the kerosene was instantly ignited and a raging fire shot up into the sky.
Everyone kept staring at the yard and when they saw no black smoke, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, unexpectedly, a tornado suddenly formed on the street, sweeping the senior official in charge into the courtyard.
There were also many officers and soldiers who were swept into the yard by the strong wind and turned into fire in an instant.
The shrill screams and wails could be heard from a long distance away, and soon thick black smoke rose into the sky.
This familiar scene frightened the people in the city, and they fled out of the city without hesitation.
At this moment, at the city gate, people in the city were rushing out, and from time to time someone would wail after being trampled.
The refugees gathered outside the city were all stunned when they saw this strange scene.
As time passed, more and more people left the city, and the open space outside the city gate was packed.
Almost all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the city, as well as peddlers and hawkers, ran away.
They had to run because black smoke was rising from the city again and a bloody rain could fall at any time.
Yesterday's wave of bloody rain had already caused countless patients across the city. If another wave were to hit, countless people would lose their lives.
Many people cursed the government, saying that if they had not burned down the house, how could such a thing have happened?
The people in the city are now filled with fear about that house and the strange refugee boy.
Upon hearing the news, refugees came one after another and begged the people in the city for food and water. Although most of them were rejected, there were some kind-hearted people who gave them alms.
Most of the people in the city stayed in the city and had no chance to see the miserable plight of the refugees.
Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they feel it is so tragic that many people have felt compassion.
It was a year of famine and although there was a shortage of food, some people still gritted their teeth and shared some with the refugees.
As it was getting close to evening, several parts of the city wall suddenly exploded and collapsed, revealing huge gaps.
When the people were in panic, another voice was heard, echoing in the air outside the city.
"Where the lanterns are raised in the city, there is a large amount of rice stored. Those who are not afraid of death can enter the city and take it freely!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a large number of refugees poured into the city through the gaps in the city wall, just to grab a bite of food to fill their stomachs.
They were all starving to death and were not afraid of the plague in the city at all.
The wealthy and powerful who had hoarded large amounts of rice and grain in an attempt to profit from the disaster were now furious and sent their men into the city to stop them.
However, they did not expect that after entering the city, they were all intercepted and killed, and no one survived.
