Chapter 363 The Situation of Bocheng Street
"Wasn't the Great Calamity Demon supposed to be dangerous? Why did he kill it so easily?"
"Yeah, and I have this illusion that I could do it too."
"If you actually go for it, you can expect to die."
Seeing Jiang Han so easily kill the Great Calamity Ghost at the War General level, Mu Bai, Zhou Min, and the short man were all somewhat incredulous, while Liu Ru and Mo Fan looked as if they were used to it. As for the woman who was rescued, she also woke up at this time.
The woman's name was Hao Xueqin. She was a white-collar worker at a company in the outer city of the ancient capital. After seeing the purple warning light in the sky, she originally planned to drive her red car to the inner city, but she got stuck on the overpass and encountered a calamity.
If it weren't for Jiang Han and his group, Hao Xueqin would have become a wronged soul under the clutches of the undead, just like everyone else.
"Thank you for saving me." Hao Xueqin thanked Jiang Han and the others with tears of gratitude in her eyes.
"Saving you was just something we did in the interest of the situation; you don't need to be too grateful to us."
"We're going to Bocheng Street soon. If you're in a hurry to leave, you can follow the government-arranged escort team to the inner city after crossing the overpass," Jiang Han said.
After Zhu Meng and others arranged for the purple alert to be activated, the three forces of the Guard District, the Hunter Alliance, and the Magic Association cooperated with the government to arrange countless teams of mages to escort the citizens of the outer city to the inner city barrier.
Although the government-arranged escort teams allowed many citizens to safely reach the inner city barrier, the citizens following the escort teams were no longer so safe as the Mountain Corpse began to hurl fleshy corpses into the city walls to transport the dead.
Because of their large numbers, they are likely to attract nearby undead, and the entire team could be wiped out if they are not careful. Therefore, continuing to follow the government's escort team is still quite dangerous.
After much deliberation, Hao Xueqin tentatively asked, "May I go to the inner city with you?"
Although Hao Xueqin hadn't awakened magic, her years of experience in the workplace gave her a keen eye. Judging from Jiang Han's battle against the Great Calamity Demon, Jiang Han was very strong, and there was also the young man who saved her.
As for the others, although they didn't make a move, they must be quite strong. If she went to the inner city with them, she would be safer. It's just a matter of whether they would agree to her request, since she is not strong enough and could easily become a burden to the team.
Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhou Min, the short man, and Liu Ru all knew that if this woman were to leave alone, her chances of making it to the inner city alive would be slim. However, Jiang Han was the captain, and the decision rested with him.
"If you're going to save her, go all the way. Why don't you take her with you?" Zhou Min, with her soft heart, couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, we're going to bring the people from Bocheng Street anyway, so one more won't make a difference," Mo Fan said with a smile.
Mo Fan spoke purely because he felt that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. It was definitely not for any other reason. Just kidding, I, Mo Fan the Great Demon King, only wanted to save people. What bad intentions could I possibly have?
Jiang Han glanced at Mo Fan with disdain; he knew exactly what Mo Fan was thinking.
He then said, "Then you can go with Zhou Min and Liu Ru."
"Thank you." Hao Xueqin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Han agree to let her stay.
As Jiang Han and his companions crossed the overpass, the main road of Bocheng Street on the other side of the bridge was littered with black, rotting corpses, white skeletons, and illusory ghosts. Many people who tried to break through the blockade died on the street.
The streets were in ruins, with signs of decay everywhere. At the end of the street stood a sturdy house covered with sheet metal. Inside the house was a sturdy iron cage, which was used in the past to lock up and capture demons.
But now there are six or seven people standing inside. Wang Sanpang and Zhao Kunsan, who came back from the city wall last night, are also here. Because the iron cage is very large, it does not feel crowded inside.
The howls of the dead echoed through the streets outside, while the intermittent sobs of a girl could be heard from inside the house.
"I said, my goodness, please don't cry."
"If your crying attracts the spirits of the dead, we're doomed."
Wang Sanpang whispered some advice to the girl with the ponytail.
The girl with the ponytail was still sobbing, but she was forcibly suppressing her sobs. However, her eyes were filled with tears and fear. She was just a high school girl. How could she not be afraid when she suddenly encountered such a thing?
"Staying here isn't a solution; let's leave," suggested a young man in a black leather jacket riding a motorcycle.
"Are you fucking stupid? I've told you so many times there are too many rotting corpses ahead, it's impossible to get through. Everyone who tried to get through is dead." Zhao Kunsan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Last night, after completing the cleanup mission with Zhou Min and Jiang Han, they were supposed to return, but unexpectedly, Zhu Meng and the others issued a rallying order. So Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and the others went to the main city wall, while Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang returned.
Just as dawn was breaking, they saw the city under a purple alert. Having experienced the blood-red alert in Bo City, they naturally understood the terror of the purple alert, so they decided to lead their men to retreat to the inner city barrier first.
But before they could go far, a huge mound of flesh flew through the air and crashed straight into the main road.
Bo City Street's main thoroughfare was not only very wide, but it also had many alleyways. However, as a large number of rotting corpses, skeletons, and ghosts emerged from the mouths of the fleshy corpses, the entire street was sealed off by the undead.
So Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang led the others to hide in the iron cage of this house. The reason they hid in the iron cage that locked the demons was because the undead were not flexible and it would take a lot of time to break through the iron cage.
"Ugh~~~"
"Hehehe!!"
Suddenly, a strange scream of a rotting corpse came from outside, causing those hiding in the iron cage to hold their breath and pray that the spirit would not come closer. But what they feared most was exactly what happened.
The rotting corpse outside seemed to have smelled the fresh meat inside, and kept ramming the iron door of the house, completely ignoring the iron sheet sticking out of its body. After several rammings, the iron door could not withstand the weight and was smashed open by the rotting corpse.
After smashing open the iron gate, the rotting corpse walked straight toward the iron cage.
"Damn it, kill it, or we'll all die," Wang Sanpang cursed under his breath.
"There's only this one left. If we work together, we should be able to kill it," Zhao Kunsan said.
After discussing with the others in the iron cage, Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang immediately stepped out of the cage. One was a wind elementalist and the other an earth elementalist. Zhao Kunsan used wind to attract the attention of the rotting corpses, while Wang Sanpang used ground wave trapping to ensnare them.
Finally, taking advantage of the corpse being trapped by the ground wave, Wang Sanpang took out his treasured light spike magic tool and stabbed it fiercely into the back of the corpse's head.
