Chapter 82 - 82: Danger
“Damn it! The Soul-Devouring Rats are too cunning!”
Qing Lan stepped on two small whirlwinds under his feet, constantly dodging the Soul-Devouring Rats ‘sound wave attacks.
However, the sound wave that Qing Lan dodged accurately hit the residential buildings. Some unlucky citizens were killed in the explosion.
Those who were lucky were also trapped in a desperate situation where they had nowhere to retreat. This was because the door leading to the evacuation passage had been blown apart by the sound waves. If they wanted to enter the passage, these citizens could only risk falling from the sky and jump to the opposite side!
“Squeak!”
The Soul-Devouring Rat’s eyes darted around as if it was mocking the Class B Hero Qing Lan’s situation.
On the screen of Hero’s live broadcast, the two commentators, Hat King and Coach Ge, were already in position.
Coach Ge shook his head and sighed. If there were no other heroes to reinforce them, the casualties of the citizens would reach a terrifying number.”
The Hat Emperor nodded.” Indeed. The appearance of such A-rank exotic beasts in densely populated residential areas will often cause the heroes to be in a dilemma. Some heroes with insufficient defense will not be able to block the attacks of the exotic beasts for the people behind them. ”
Instructor Ge pointed out Qing Lan’s predicament.” There’s nothing we can do about it. Qing Lan is an Elemental-type hero. If she were to take the
Soul-Devouring Rat’s attack head-on, she would probably be seriously injured in a few hits. Without her restraint, this exotic beast will cause a lot of damage in a short period of time. We’re strategically abandoning these unfortunate citizens to avoid even greater casualties.”
Just as Instructor Ge was feeling sorry for the fate of these unlucky people, a fiery red figure drew an arc in the air and stopped steadily beside Qing Lan.
It was Yan Die, the heroine from the same agency as Qing Lan.
Although Yan Die’s Hero level was lower than Qing Lan’s, her popularity was much higher than Qing Lan’s. In addition to her cute appearance, Yan Die’s cute and lively personality also attracted countless fans.
Qing Lan’s somewhat cold personality had caused her popularity to remain lukewarm.
The bullet comments in the live broadcast room exploded.
“Oh my god! This is an A-grade disaster, and only B-grade heroes can be of use. Little Flame Butterfly, what are you doing here? Hurry up and leave! ”
“That’s right, ignore those trolls. You’re still young. When you become a
B-class hero in the future, you can come out and fight alongside Big Sister
Qinglan! ”
“Protect my lovely Yan Die! Give me the gifts.”
Qing Lan pulled the Wintersweet to avoid the Soul-Devouring Rats ‘sound waves. Behind them, the outer walls of residential buildings were destroyed. Fortunately, the residents here seemed to have already evacuated and there was no more tragedy.
Qing Lan condensed a green whirlwind and tried to attack the mutated beast’s eyes, but it was blocked by the Soul-Devouring Rat’s hard claws.
“Bang!”
The green whirlwind exploded on the Soul-Devouring Rat’s claws, but only destroyed some of its fur and skin.
“Squeak!”
However, this seemed to only have the effect of angering the exotic beast. It let out a scream again, and the ultra-high decibel sound made everything around it tremble.
A stone fell from the sky, narrowly brushing past Qing Lan’s red phoenix eyes.
“What are you doing here? A C-class hero is just cannon fodder in front of a Soul-Devouring Rat! ”
Yan Die was a little flustered as she said, “I-I-I…” I was nearby and saw Senior
Qinglan in a difficult battle, so I wanted to come over and help. ”
Qing Lan released another whirlwind in an attempt to cancel out the
Soul-Devouring Rat’s soundwave ring, but in the end, it only consumed half of the soundwave ring’s power.
The disturbed sound wave exploded on the building, and the apartment building in Mingyue Community was like a biscuit that was bitten off in the middle.
The exposed location was the stairwell from the sixth floor to the fifth floor of the apartment. Half of the stairs were destroyed, and two unlucky people died in the explosion, leaving only three adult women and a little girl of five or six years old.
It was Lin Naixue and her group. Coincidentally, they were all in the apartment today.
Pan Yuanyuan didn’t have any classes today, while Ding Lan finished her classes early and picked up Bao ‘er, who had peed in her pants, from kindergarten.
At this moment, the four of them were still in a state of shock. The explosion was only one meter away from them. The two male tenants who had pushed them away in front of them were in a hurry to go downstairs. Instead, they followed the stairs and died.
As for the stairs under Ding Lan and the others ‘feet, there were only three steps left!
They were still three meters away from the staircase that led to the ground.
“Sister Ding, what should we do…Wuwuwu!”
Pan Yuanyuan, who was the second youngest and had the worst mentality among the three adults, burst into tears.
Ding Lan was in despair as well, but she looked at Bao ‘er, who was holding back her tears. She glanced at the beast and said, “”We’ll walk up the stairs and jump to the apartment building across from the rooftop. We’ll go down the stairs from the next building. We can’t get through here. The three-meter drop is too high. ”
Lin Naixue also agreed, “Sister Ding, let’s go up quickly!” ”
As she spoke, she held Pan Yuanyuan’s hand and was about to go upstairs.
However, at this moment, the entire apartment building suddenly shook. Pan Yuanyuan, who had lost her balance, fell down the broken stairs!
Pan Yuanyuan’s entire body was suspended in the air. Two meters below her feet in her pink sneakers was a steel bar that had been twisted together due to the explosion. If she fell, she would definitely be skewered into meat skewers!
Fortunately, Lin Naixue was still holding Pan Yuanyuan’s hand tightly even though she was sprawled on the stairs.
The yellow liquid flowed down Pan Yuanyuan’s starched blue jeans and soaked the little white rabbit socks, dripping down.
She grabbed Lin Naixue’s hand tightly and broke down.” Save me! Sister
Naixue! I don’t want to die yet! I don’t want to die!”
As she struggled, Lin Naixue’s body slid down an inch. If she hadn’t used her legs to hook onto the guardrail, she might have fallen down with Pan Yuanyuan!
Seeing this, Ding Lan decisively put down Bao ‘er and grabbed Lin Naixue’s hand, wanting to pull Pan Yuanyuan up.
“Yuanyuan! Calm down, we’ll pull you up immediately!!! ”
“Wuwuwu! Please save me! I don’t want to die…
“Sister Ding, let’s shout one, two, three and pull Yuanyuan up together! ”
Even Bao ‘er, who was the size of a radish, pulled Lin Naixue’s body from behind. She wanted to help her sister and mother pull Sister Yuanyuan up.
She wiped the tears off her face with her chubby hands. Although she was extremely afraid, she did not dare to cry out loud.
Because her mother had taught her not to cry at such a time.
The little girl sobbed, “Mom, sister…” Come on…Bao ‘er will pull with you.”
“One…Two…Three!”
The two of them used all their strength, but they still couldn’t pull Pan Yuanyuan up.
Pan Yuanyuan’s eyes were filled with despair as she watched the half-pulled staircase collapse..
