After everyone received the bamboo dragonflies, they imitated Luo Xiaolu and put them on their heads before flying out of the sea of fire.
"Xiaolu, give us some bamboo dragonflies. We'll help you distribute them!"
Luo Tianhe, his wife, and Luo Shuyang flew to Luo Xiaolu's side and shouted while enduring the scorching heat.
Luo Xiaolu gritted her teeth. She knew that it was too slow to distribute the bamboo dragonflies by herself. Thus, she gave her family members storage rings with a large number of bamboo dragonflies and taught them how to use them.
"Sister Lu, we'll help you distribute them too!"
The people who had flown away with the bamboo dragonflies flew back to help Luo Xiaolu.
The situation was urgent, and Luo Xiaolu couldn't care less about the risk. She distributed the storage rings to them one by one. After everyone received the rings, they scattered without a word and rushed through the fire to save people.
With the help of so many people, the rescue efficiency increased exponentially. One person saved two, two people saved four. Looking from afar, there were figures rising from the flames continuously. It was as if dumplings were being poured into the fire. In less than a few minutes, the sky was densely packed with people.
At this time, the fire had developed to a terrifying extent. A large area below had turned into a sea of fire, and the blazing red light soared into the sky.
"Is there anyone else who hasn't escaped?"
Luo Xiaolu shouted at the sea of fire, worried that there were still people inside.
After shouting three times, she only heard the crackling sound of the flames. There was no response. If there were still people inside, they were probably dead by now.
"Sister Lu, everyone has escaped."
A young man reported to her. "Before the fire, the total number of people in the channel was 67 million. Now, it's still 67 million. Not one more, not one less!"
Luo Xiaolu was relieved. Although the fire was fierce, it was fortunate that no one was injured. At most, it was just a loss of property. It was acceptable.
"Thank you, Sister Lu, for saving us!"
"If not for the bamboo dragonflies you gave us, we definitely wouldn't have escaped the sea of fire."
"Thank you, Sister Lu. I will never forget your kindness!"
"…"
Thousands of people gathered in front of Luo Xiaolu and expressed their gratitude respectfully. They were all covered in dust and dirt from the smoke, but their faces were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
When Luo Tianhe and the other two saw their daughter being worshipped and thanked by the crowd, they looked at each other in dismay. They didn't know whether they should join in the fun or not.
"Now is not the time to relax. Let's think of a way to put out the fire first." Luo Xiaolu stopped everyone.
Although everyone had escaped, the fire below was still getting more and more intense. It was rapidly spreading to the surroundings, causing more and more people to run around in panic. If the fire was not extinguished in time, it would eventually develop into an uncontrollable mountain fire that would burn down the entire shelter.
There was another suspicious point that Luo Xiaolu was very concerned about. When she was hovering in the air and distributing the bamboo dragonflies to everyone, she noticed that the fire was burning very neatly.
In the beginning, the fire was in the shape of a circle, like an encirclement, burning from the outside to the inside, as if someone was deliberately controlling it.
"Was it arson?"
She had a bad premonition. She really hoped that this was just an accident and that she was worrying too much.
"Sister Lu!"
Suddenly, a shout came from behind. Luo Xiaolu turned around and saw Yue Ziquan, Yuan Juan, Li Chunfeng, and the others flying towards her with bamboo dragonflies on their heads. Thousands of fully armed guards followed closely behind them. It was a grand sight.
"Sister Lu, are you okay?"
Yue Ziquan and the others asked while panting. They had just been patrolling the shelter with Li Chunfeng when they suddenly saw the fire. Furthermore, Luo Xiaolu's unconscious wooden hut happened to be in the fire's range. This scared them out of their wits and they immediately rushed over.
"I'm fine." Luo Xiaolu shook her head. "The most important thing now is to put out the fire …"
Before she finished her sentence, a guard behind Yue Ziquan suddenly sped up and rushed out of the crowd like an arrow heading straight for Luo Xiaolu.
The guard's movements were too fast. Everything happened in a flash. Before anyone could react, he had already taken out his pistol and pressed the muzzle against Luo Xiaolu's temple.
"How dare you!"
"Let go of Sister Lu!"
"Are you f * cking crazy!"
Everyone screamed in horror. They had never imagined that such a daring person would suddenly appear.
"Those who don't want Luo Xiaolu to die, shut up and don't move," the guard said coldly.
He didn't even blink as he stared at the confused Luo Xiaolu in front of him. It was as though he was looking at a mortal enemy.
"I knew you were tough. Good people don't live long, but scourges live for thousands of years. I set such a big fire, but you still didn't die," the guard continued. The guard continued to speak with a suppressed excitement in his voice. The muzzle of the gun pressed against Luo Xiaolu's temple trembled slightly.
Luo Xiaolu finally realized what was going on. Her heart sank. This fire was indeed premeditated.
"Who … who are you?" Luo Xiaolu asked him in shock.
"Ye Zesheng, do you know what you are doing?"
Yue Ziquan roared furiously. He said the guard's name and helped him answer Luo Xiaolu's question at the same time.
The thousands of guards behind Yue Ziquan all raised their guns and aimed at Ye Zesheng. They couldn't wait to shoot this lunatic to death.
"I'll count to three. If there are still guns pointed at me after three, I'll kill Luo Xiaolu immediately."
Ye Zesheng counted down word by word. "Three, two …"
Everyone had to put down their guns for fear of hurting Luo Xiaolu.
"Calm down. Don't be rash. Everything can be discussed peacefully."
Li Chunfeng tried to persuade him. Luo Xiaolu was extremely important to mankind. No matter what, nothing could happen to her. If anything happened to her, everything would be over.
"Yes, little brother. Just tell us what you want. We'll definitely satisfy you. Don't hurt Xiaolu," Luo Tianhe said in a trembling voice, trying to calm him down.
Most people were like Luo Shuyang. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only stare at him in vain.
"What do I want? Haha. "
Ye Zesheng sneered. His gaze landed on Luo Xiaolu again, and his face revealed the satisfaction of getting his revenge.
He had finally achieved his goal. As a small fry at the bottom of society, he had successfully stepped on the noble and beautiful Luo Xiaolu, who was worshipped by the world!
"What I want is very simple. Tonight, I want to strip Luo Xiaolu of her disguise in front of the whole world! I want everyone to see clearly what kind of person she is! "
Luo Xiaolu was terrified. "You … you want to strip me?"
Ye Zesheng: "…"
Everyone: "…"
