"What's your name?" The two young girls intertwined their left arms and right arms together to stand more steadily in the crowd.
"Song Lan."
"What about you?"
"Lin Miao.
Miss Song, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have almost…”
"Just call me Xiaolan." Song Lan smiled with narrowed eyes, seemingly not worried at all about the thunder in the sky.
With a companion, Lin Miao's stumbling steps slowed down a lot, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Lan, why don't you seem afraid at all?"
"You can't escape being struck by lightning, so why not just be happy?"
"Are you alone in Su City?" Lin Miao was a little surprised. This girl looked about the same age as herself, but her mentality was much better than hers.
Moreover, he had been unable to contact his senior brother and was worried to death, but she looked like nothing had happened.
"My parents and Sister Su's family went to the next city for some business a while ago, and Zhang Mu also went abroad for a trip and hasn't come back yet. They are all safe."
Zhang Mu?
Lin Miao felt vaguely that the name was familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
"boom--"
Another pillar of lightning struck behind the crowd, and the citizens, whose emotions were already close to collapse, went completely crazy.
"Hurry up! Thunder is coming!"
"Don't squeeze!"
Lin Miao and Song Lan saw a little girl in front of them being squeezed to the point of being unable to breathe, and they shouted and reached out to pull her out.
After trying for a long time, he finally pulled the little girl into his arms.
The two men's tiny arms and legs could not withstand the tremendous pressure from the people around them, so they tried their best to protect the little girl between them and pushed their bodies outwards to avoid squeezing her.
After moving for a while, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Look, the thunder has stopped!"
When Song Lan and Lin Miao heard this, they hurriedly looked up at the sky.
The dark clouds did not dissipate, and still shrouded the city of Su as if it were night, but the lightning that had previously appeared in the clouds had disappeared.
"Are we safe?" Lin Miao was somewhat happy.
"Don't stop!" The captain, who had just hung up the intercom on the roadside, waved his hands anxiously, "Keep going!"
"Then...look up in the sky, it's a person, he's flying, there's someone flying in the sky!"
people?
Lin Miao and Song Lan were unable to open their eyes due to the strong wind, but they still did the same thing as the people around them, looking up and squinting their eyes to look into the distance.
High in the sky, there was a figure in a white robe, flying higher and higher, straight into the black clouds.
what is that?
Although the figure in the white robe was obviously a human, Song Lan and Lin Miao still had doubts in their hearts.
“Even if dark clouds can block the sun, the haze is only for a moment.”
"People in the world are confused about what it means to be an immortal."
"I am an immortal!"
The gentle voice fell from the sky, echoing throughout the city of Suzhou.
Now, even the soldiers directing the crowd on the roadside forgot their duties and stared blankly at the sky.
Immortal?
He said he was a fairy?
The movies, TV shows and literary works about immortals that the citizens had seen were flying through their minds. They stayed on the streets and didn't even remember that what they should do now was to quickly escape from the city.
Those who reacted quickly took out their cell phones and pointed them at the gradually shrinking figure.
"Oh shit! Mom, look at the gods!"
His actions startled the people around him, and the citizens took out their mobile phones and turned on the camera function.
The same is true for Lin Miao and Song Lan.
Using the camera's zoom function, Lin Miao saw the back of a man in ancient costume with silver hair dancing wildly behind his head on the phone screen.
The dark clouds ahead, covering the sky, looked like a vicious beast with its bloody mouth open, ready to devour people.
"boom--"
In front of everyone's eyes, the clouds that seemed to have calmed down just now suddenly began to roll. A few seconds later, a bolt of lightning rushed out from the clouds and struck directly at the man in ancient costume.
The man in ancient costume did not dodge or evade, but opened his hands to face the majestic power of heaven.
After seeing this scene, two words suddenly popped up in the minds of everyone present - transcend tribulation.
Will he die?
It is written in the novel that immortals may die while undergoing tribulation.
Song Lan clearly didn't know him, but her heart subconsciously tightened.
The twisting lightning snake disappeared, and its back figure floated safely under the clouds. Song Lan patted his chest.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Come!"
The wanton voice fell, echoing in everyone's ears.
The man seemed to be challenging.
The clouds reacted as expected, rolling even more violently, with lightning flashing inside like a sea, as if brewing a fatal blow.
"Why doesn't he run away!" Song Lan grabbed Lin Miao's arm tightly.
Lin Miao felt the pain and grinned: "I don't know, I'm not an immortal, hiss... it hurts, it hurts."
"Huh? I'm sorry, sorry."
Coming back to his senses, Song Lan quickly apologized and let go.
"Boom - boom -"
While the two were chatting, the clouds launched a final attack.
It was no longer just one bolt of lightning, but more than ten bolts, like lightning snakes that seemed to split the sky and the earth, madly bombarding the man under the clouds.
There was a deafening roar of thunder, but Song Lan, like the other citizens, did not bother to cover his mouth. He held his phone with both hands and raised it high, as if he could take a clearer picture that way.
On the phone screen, Song Lan clearly saw that all the Razers hit the man in ancient costume head-on.
His silver hair fluttered, his robe bulged, and lightning exploded all over his body.
The Razer did not stop and continued to fall down with a bang.
It lasted for three full minutes, and the rolling clouds seemed to have no power over him. The lightning and thunder stopped and gradually subsided and dissipated.
The long-lost sunshine penetrated the dispersing clouds, casting a golden glow on the people who were looking up.
The man turned around and seemed to be looking down at all the creatures on earth.
After a long time, he moved.
His whole body was covered with lightning that had not yet faded away. He flew toward the hilltop outside the city and disappeared among the undulating hilltops.
The scene was left speechless.
"drop--"
The captain in camouflage uniform on the roadside came to his senses and quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and put it to his ear.
"clear."
"Everyone." Putting down the intercom, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "It's all right now, everyone disperse in an orderly manner and go home."
The people who were in a hurry to leave just now are no longer in a hurry.
"Did you see it?!"
"Fuck, he said he is an immortal?"
"Damn it. He was flying! And he was struck by lightning. That's awesome! If he's not a fairy, then what is he?"
“I saw the immortal flew to the mountains outside the city. Is that where he lives?
Damn! I want to go find an immortal to become his disciple! "
Lin Miao was enjoying listening to the quarrels of people around her when her cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the words "Senior Brother Ye" displayed on the screen, she answered the call with a smile on her face.
Chapter 80 Aftermath
Municipal building, meeting room.
Mr. Sun sat at the head of the U-shaped conference table, with Zhao Qiyue on his left, the director on his right, and the secretary standing behind him.
Several people said nothing.
After all the workers who were replacing the windows had left, the secretary said, “The backup police force sent from the neighboring city has been sent back.
The construction team for repairing roads and houses has also been arranged, that is..."
Old Sun frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it."
“The citizens who left the city and were on their way…did not return home.”
"You didn't go home?" The director was stunned. "Where did you go?"
"Xu Xianren disappeared in the mountains outside the city. They all went to the mountains, saying they were looking for immortality."
Of course, everyone present knew that they would not be able to find the immortal fate by searching in this way.
"Let them go. If they can't be found after a long time, they will naturally return to the city." Boss Sun waved his hand and said, "Send someone to look after them and make sure no one falls."
