The shock of terror did not last long.
After a while.
The devastated earth came into Baimu's sight. The huge, bottomless and criss-crossing cracks were like torn scars. The rolling dust made the surroundings blurry, and everything looked hideous and terrifying.
Looking across the street, the walls and windows of many buildings were turned into debris and rubble, but most of the main structures were still standing.
Only a few that clearly resembled sheds or crudely constructed cabins were in complete ruins.
There were wailing and screaming everywhere, but Kashiwagi was extremely grateful at this time because they had evacuated most of the people and prisoners from the buildings to open areas in advance.
If we still house them, I don’t know what kind of trouble will happen.
However, as some houses collapsed, many peripheral members of the Quicksand Team, members of the Vicious Dog Team and ordinary people were buried and suffered unfortunately.
"Raise it a little."
Kashiwagi said to Jigglypuff, and the latter's eyes flashed blue again, and he flew with him to a height of nearly fifty meters.
The surrounding situation suddenly became clear.
In a place like Huangtie Town where there are not many high-rise buildings, fifty meters is enough for him to appreciate the surrounding situation.
"really……"
Kashiwagi frowned deeply as he looked at the Vicious Dog Team's territory which had suffered heavy losses.
The source of the earthquake should have come from the underground city of Luoqi Group and radiated to the surrounding areas, so the three major blocks of Luoqi Group were the worst hit, and the territories of the other two highest-ranking cadres were also affected.
There are even some territories belonging to other forces.
But judging from its scale, it must have been man-made. The power of a normal natural earthquake cannot be so concentrated, and it would at least affect half of Huangtie Town.
What happened in the dungeon?
He tuned into the channel for contacting Frobo and Liuge, but undoubtedly got no response. It seemed that the ground and the surface had lost contact.
While thinking.
Kashiwagi saw that the entire outskirts of the block were in chaos, with countless people running around like headless flies. He immediately flew to the car with the horn and tried to use the loudspeaker to calm everyone down.
It just so happened that the other team leaders thought the same thing, so they all gathered together.
"What's going on? Was this earthquake planned?"
Seeing this, Kashiwagi subconsciously asked them about the earthquake.
However, the team leaders also seemed a little panicked at this time. After calming down, they shook their heads frantically, "How is it possible? We are not at the point where we will disregard the safety of the people in order to achieve our goals!"
indeed.
After this wave of earthquakes, the neighboring blocks that were not completely taken over must have suffered heavy casualties. The Crystal Group and the Stone Group have not been able to clean up the blocks yet, and are still in a standoff with the vicious dog team members and the public inside.
And if the situation on the surface is like this, the situation in the underground city must be even more tragic. Liuge and his men have endured for more than ten years and have just taken the first step. There is no need to fight to the death for a momentary gain.
Since it was not Liu Ge's arrangement, it was most likely related to Luo Qi who had the home advantage. He found that he could not stop Luo Qi's group from retreating, so he chose to die together in desperation?
Probably!
Kashiwagi had a guess in his mind.
The team leader next to him also successfully restarted the content of the loudspeaker, and after confirming that it was not damaged, it emitted a deafening roar.
"Everyone stay where you are and wait for instructions! No one is allowed to run around!"
When the people around quieted down, the loudspeaker changed its content again.
"Members of each team, count the number of people and move closer to the command vehicle! The rest of you stay where you are! Wait for further arrangements! Do not run around randomly, make loud noises, or create panic. We will take punitive measures against those who violate the rules!"
"It is strictly forbidden to run around randomly, make loud noises and create panic!"
Two minutes later.
The Quicksand team members who had been scattered to various places moved closer to the command vehicle.
"I will take some people to explore the underground city and find a way to restore contact with Big Brother and the others. You send one team back to the Quicksand Team to request support, and the rest of you start the rescue. Not only our block, but also the other two blocks!"
A team leader took the initiative to speak.
"it is good!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Kashiwagi looked around and followed suit.
The accident and disconnection in the underground city were certainly critical, but not everyone was arranged to go to the underground city. Instead, most people were left to rescue the people. This also proved that Liuge's team was not a mob that could only shout slogans.
Leaving rashly would only cause panic among the people and breed more unnecessary troubles, and the team leaders made the decision to save people without thinking.
It is not difficult to see that they really want to bring a clear sky to the civilians of Huangtie Town.
"Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi! What should we do?"
Cheng Hong ran over, covered in dust and looking very panic-stricken.
Kashiwagi held his shoulders and said, "Don't panic. Is everyone okay?"
"No, it's not just us brothers. Everyone who came out of Qingyi Street gathered with us. Only two people almost fell into the crack, but they were caught!"
Seeing his backbone, his breathing became much calmer.
"Okay, tell everyone to count the number of people and confirm if anyone is left behind, and then search the surrounding houses."
Kashiwagi said calmly, "Don't panic. Show your courage and tell those who are panicking that nothing will happen. The Quicksand Team will not abandon them. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Cheng Hong nodded.
On the other side, Otsuka also came over, "Kashiwagi! You are here!"
"Try to gather some obedient people and target those who intend to take advantage of the situation. Call me if there is any situation." Baimu whispered to him.
Otsuka was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the task had been assigned before he even asked the question.
"understand!"
He nodded without hesitation.
After instructing a few of his younger brothers, Kashiwagi took a look at the chaotic situation around him, released Boskodora and ran to restrain the captured vicious dog team members to prevent them from causing trouble.
Fortunately, these people were more obedient than expected. They were either crying or shouting on the spot, or staring blankly at the broken blocks with expressions that showed the greatest sorrow was despair.
Kashiwagi understood their thoughts at this moment. Although most of the vicious dog team members bullied the people below them, they all started from humble beginnings.
Now that their homes have become ruins, who can remain calm?
“Everyone, be quiet!!”
"Roar--!!"
Boskodora's roar made the members of the vicious dog team look towards Kashiwagi.
"I think you should know that something happened in the dungeon. Your superiors are most likely destroyed. Now you are helpless and have no choice but to join our Quicksand Team. But because you are captives and born as criminals, you will inevitably be relegated to the lowest level without any achievements."
He shouted, "But now you have a chance to redeem yourself! Organize your people and the people, and I will give you some Pokémon. You can use these Pokémon to participate in the rescue. If you do a good job, I will say a few good words for you in the future. Do you understand?"
Almost no one responded.
Upon seeing this, Boskodora picked up a piece of gravel on the ground and smashed it with a bang.
"Roar!!"
"have you understood!?"
Kashiwagi yelled again.
"I understand!" "I get it!" The prisoners nodded frantically.
Chapter 157 Chaos
In the afternoon.
With the current manpower of the Quicksand Team, it would be difficult to clean up their own neighborhood.
Not to mention assigning more people to deal with the unknown situation in the dungeon.
If we don't hurry up, the pitch-black environment after the sun sets will be very deadly for people without professional rescue knowledge.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to make use of the people around you who can be used.
Kashiwagi's decision was undoubtedly bold and reckless, but it was something he had to do.
The people under the singer are efficient, but there are only a hundred of them after all. Even if you count the people lurking among the peripheral members, there are only a few hundred of them, which is completely a drop in the bucket.
Our people are busy and exhausted, and it is easy for something to go wrong if we just let the captives from the Vicious Dog Squad just watch.
It would be better to include their labor force as well.
If the official members can't do it, then the general public can do it, right? This neighborhood is their home.
of course.
There is another reason - the rescue operation carried out with the concerted efforts of all people may awaken the brilliance in some people's hearts.
People in other regions all have kind natures. Kashiwagi doesn't think that the Ourai people living on the same planet are much worse than them. It's just that the social atmosphere has influenced them.
By working together to help others with small things, they will receive thanks and gratitude, and will definitely gain moral satisfaction.
Don't underestimate this sense of moral satisfaction. If it accumulates continuously, it is enough to awaken the conscience of a bad person.
Although there is no way to make up for the bad things done by bad people, it will torment their souls to a certain extent. Of course, those who are determined to go the dark way and not waver are not among them.
Sometimes, Kashiwagi relies on this sense of satisfaction to persevere in doing things.
When the other team leaders learned of his actions, they raised their hands and feet to express their approval, and at the same time told him that a signal for help had been sent from the stone group next door.
Apparently they didn't handle the post-disaster situation as well as they did.
Kashiwagi was more concerned about something else. "What about the underground city? Have you contacted them?"
"We've made contact. Although the communication is intermittent, we can confirm that Big Brother and the others are safe. They are just trapped and can't get out for a while."
The man brought him reassuring news.
It seems that God wants them to clear away the shadow of Ou Lei, so that Liu Ge and others, who are the backbone of the team, did not die young.
After this accident, Liu Ge probably wouldn't be so reckless to put himself in danger again.
