When Ji Tianxing was at the Divine General's Estate, he had heard the number of casualties reported by Xiao Han.
Thirty-five cities had been invaded by the plague. More than two million people had died, and more than twenty million people had lost their homes.
These numbers sounded shocking and made one's heart heavy.
However, without seeing the scene of the people being poisoned, numbers were just numbers.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing was walking in Xunfeng City. He saw with his own eyes the scene of people and soldiers rotting on the ground and eventually turning into blood and bones.
Such a tragic scene was extremely shocking. It made one feel incomparable grief and indignation. A ball of anger was burning fiercely in one's heart!
The closer the three of them got to the city center, the more people they saw running around in a panic. The corpses and blood on the ground were also denser.
Ji Tianxing was not a powerless commoner, nor was he a weak soldier or martial artist.
Seeing such a tragic scene, he would not feel despair and numbness like ordinary people.
His expression became colder and colder, and his heart became heavier. His body surged with monstrous anger, and his whole body faintly emitted a soaring killing intent.
His hatred and killing intent for the demon race rapidly increased to the limit!
At this moment, he only wanted to find the demon race expert and the Blood God as quickly as possible and kill them all!
After a while, the three of them passed through the chaotic streets filled with corpses and entered the City Lord's Estate of Xunfeng City.
Inside and outside the City Lord's Estate, not only were there many Donglin soldiers guarding, there were also many city guards running back and forth.
The soldiers rescued some old, weak, sick, disabled, or injured commoners from all over the city and hurriedly carried them into the City Lord's Estate.
On the streets and open space outside the City Lord's Estate, there were many piles of bones and corpses. The streets and ground were dyed black by the blood.
The sky above the City Lord's Estate was filled with dense black gas, emitting a heavy and solemn aura of death.
Ji Tianxing knew with a glance that there must be a large number of commoners gathered in the City Lord's Estate.
The facts proved that his guess was indeed correct.
When the three of them walked into the City Lord's Estate, they saw that the estate was overcrowded. Commoners with terrified expressions were squeezed everywhere.
There were also many injured or poisoned commoners who were lying on the ground with pained expressions as they continuously cried out and wailed.
Xiao Ling`er inquired about Xiao Chen's location from the guard. When she found out that Xiao Chen was handling government affairs in the main hall, she hurriedly rushed over.
However, when the three of them arrived at the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the entrance was already filled with suffering commoners. There were also countless soldiers entering and exiting, their expressions grave and anxious.
Xiao Chen sat in the City Lord's seat at the head of the hall. He was discussing something urgently with City Lord Xun Feng and a few generals.
From time to time, captains and commanders would rush to the main hall to report the situation to him or ask for instructions on the next step.
Xiao Chen was swamped with work. He appeared fatigued, but he was even more anxious and worried.
When he saw Xiao Han and Ji Tianxing arrive, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up to greet them.
"This subordinate pays his respects to the Divine General and Young Master Ji!"
City Master Xun Feng, the captains, and the commanders hurriedly bowed.
Xiao Han waved his hand, indicating that everyone need not be overly courteous.
He walked to the main seat and sat down. He asked Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, what's the current situation in Xun Feng City? Have all the commoners been transferred? "
Xiao Chen did not dare to waste time and did not waste any time. He directly answered, "Before the outbreak of the toxic plague, this subordinate had already ordered four generals and twelve commanders to successfully transfer three hundred thousand commoners. They should be arriving at the Tianchuan Plain soon.
However, the toxic plague had infiltrated the Great City Barrier Formation and stopped the transfer plan. More than three hundred thousand commoners are trapped in the city.
Now, close to one hundred thousand commoners have died inside and outside the city. There are only two hundred and forty thousand people left. Only half of them were temporarily transferred to the underground secret rooms, passages, and the City Lord's Mansion. "
Everyone immediately understood. Xiao Han immediately frowned and asked in a deep voice, "If that's the case, there are still one hundred and twenty thousand commoners that can't be relocated?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said in a serious tone, "That's indeed the case. However, Divine General, please rest assured. This subordinate has already arranged for the soldiers to fully excavate the underground fortress and passages.
At the latest, twenty thousand soldiers will be able to excavate enough passages and secret rooms for the commoners to live in by tomorrow morning. "
However, Xiao Han shook his head and said with a grave expression, "Right now, the outbreak of the toxic plague is at its fiercest. I don't think those one hundred and twenty thousand commoners can last until tomorrow morning.
Immediately bring this seat to the underground secret room. This seat will personally excavate the underground passage at the fastest speed possible. "
As he spoke, he was about to follow Xiao Chen into the underground passage.
The toxic plague drifted in the air and spread through the air.
However, in this one month, Xiao Han and the others found a way to temporarily avoid the toxic plague. That was to move the commoners deep underground!
Of course, this was only a temporary stopgap measure. It would not last long.
The toxic plague's corrosive power was very strong. The underground passages and secret rooms could only delay the spread of the plague.
After understanding this point, Ji Tianxing suddenly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Lord Xiao, you don't have to worry about this matter. Leave it to me.
Xiao Chen, give me the blueprints for the underground passage and the fortress. Then, withdraw those twenty thousand soldiers and let them search and rescue the commoners. "
Hearing this, Xiao Han and Xiao Chen were both stunned. They looked at him in disbelief.
"Tianxing, could it be that you have a way to quickly excavate the underground passage and shelter?"
"Young Master Ji, this concerns the lives of one hundred and twenty thousand commoners. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Ji Tianxing nodded his head with a solemn expression and said in a low voice, "Of course! Lord Xiao, I can complete the task within four hours and properly settle the one hundred and twenty thousand commoners! "
Seeing his solemn expression and his confident and resolute tone, Xiao Han chose to believe him.
"Tianxing, ever since I met you, you have continuously created one miracle after another.
Although you want to complete the task within four hours, no one would believe you. However, I believe that you will definitely create another miracle! "
After saying this, he ordered in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen, immediately follow Young Master Ji's orders!"
"This …" Although Xiao Chen was somewhat hesitant, he did not dare to disobey Xiao Han's orders. He could only cup his hands and salute, indicating that he would obey.
He gave the blueprints for the underground passage and shelter to Ji Tianxing. Then, he went to relay the order.
Ji Tianxing took the blueprints and looked at them for a while. Then, he walked to the courtyard outside the main hall and entered the underground passage from the corner of the courtyard.
Then, he opened the sword world and summoned the Gold Mountain King's son, Ero.
Ero was the prince of the Earth Spirit Race. His status was high, and his authority was second only to his father.
Ji Tianxing gave the blueprints to Ero and asked him to gather eight hundred Earth Spirit Race warriors to excavate the underground passage and shelter as quickly as possible.
After looking at the blueprints, Ero immediately patted his chest and promised that he would complete the task very quickly.
