In the days that followed, time could be measured in seconds.
The lifeless city regained its vitality as waves of people evacuated. However, the panic in the air remained unchanged...
Perhaps it is the remaining animal instincts that make people feel particularly anxious.
But no matter what, the evacuation is still proceeding as planned.
Every day, a large number of boats are moored at the large docks on both sides of the river, transporting crowded people upstream or downstream. Most of these are for the middle and lower class citizens who do not have cars...
People who own cars leave the city on roads designated by the government, and the number and routes of vehicles traveling are strictly controlled to avoid unnecessary congestion and delays.
A large number of police forces are deployed 24 hours a day on roads prone to traffic accidents to deal with problems in a timely manner and ensure smooth traffic.
As for trains and air routes, they were all used to transport patients, the elderly, the weak, women and children. In particular, for this large-scale evacuation, the country stopped half of the country's air flights and trains, fully cooperating with the people and doing its best to provide transportation capacity to this poor city.
There are often dozens of aircraft of various models hovering in layers above Wuhan International Airport, and they land quickly as soon as the runway is clear, loading and leaving quickly.
The huge transportation capacity made the entire evacuation busy but not chaotic, numerous but not complicated.
From a military perspective, there has never been such an efficient case of evacuating civilians in world history.
Everything is going on tensely... Not only humans are nervous, but also the gods living in another space in the sky are concentrating on observing how this catastrophe for mankind will develop.
In addition to the local immortals of Country Z, the main gods of various sects are also paying close attention.
After this feast of hundreds of ghosts, the ancient demon will most likely be released again. The human world, which has lost the protection of gods and Buddhas, will undoubtedly only be left waiting for death...
Therefore, the gods of various countries are watching how the Z-side fairyland will resolve this crisis, and the Z-side fairyland is watching Xu Zhe's movements.
He is the only hope for mankind after being bound by some agreement between the gods...
But this "hope" did nothing in the butterfly's underground nest...
Every day, besides watching TV, he worked hard to rehabilitate his arm. He seemed to have completely forgotten that the agreement he made with the King of Hell was not to stop the feast of the ghosts. Instead, it was to find the Xuanyuan Sword that had been buried for thousands of years before them and return it to the hands of God.
But if you look closely at Xu Zhe's performance in recent times, apart from trying hard to stop Yaqi's plan, he hasn't made any progress in finding the sword, which is quite strange.
Whether it is strange or not, time passes silently...
Three days before the banquet, Ouyang finally cleaned up his desk.
All members of the Paranormal Investigation Division will take the same flight as Mu Ming's search team and report back to the capital.
On the way to the airport, Ouyang always had a smile on his face, as if he was very happy.
When a team member asked curiously, Ouyang replied that he could see an interesting face.
It wasn't until we got to the airport that everyone knew who the funny face was.
Mu Ming arranged the troops to enter the transport plane one after another as if his father had died. Come to think of it, they came here to search for Xu Zhe for a few days, but they just followed him around. Even when they really fought, he easily defeated them.
What’s even more infuriating is that after all these days, there’s not even a single piece of evidence to prove that the culprit is Xu Zhe, so all the work was in vain.
Anyone would be so angry that they would be speechless, right
Back to the lair, the fox spirit's herbs are indeed different from ordinary human medicines. Xu Zhe only applied it for five days, and the splint on his right arm has been removed. He can also move like a normal person, but his strength is slightly less.
In the sealed space these days, none of them felt particularly suffocated. Instead, they all had fun and had a good time.
By the ninth day of the migration, the huge city had been basically emptied.
It was not a sunny day, the sky had been gloomy since the morning, with dark clouds covering each other and piling up, as if a rainstorm would fall at any time.
On this day, the four people who ended Mu Ming's pursuit finally returned to the surface.
Even though they were in the garbage dump, everyone took a deep breath and felt a slight sense of relief as if they had been released from prison.
As a gift, Die drove out a brand new blood-red Volkswagen Beetle from among the piles of garbage.
Although they share the same roots as Mary, their value and performance are several times lower.
"Get in the car, let's walk out of the city. I don't believe you have the strength to do that." Die got out of the driver's seat naturally. It was rare for Die to put on a pair of long loose jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt. All her assets worth showing off were wrapped in the clothes.
Without hesitation, Tiechui Haozi loaded the luggage and Wu Qian sat in her own driver's seat.
However, Xu Zhe walked straight to Die with an expression as calm as autumn water.
"Aren't you going with us?" Xu Zhe asked with a little doubt.
"Didn't you see that the car can only seat four people? I hate being crowded." Die said with an indifferent attitude.
"You actually had no intention of leaving, and you knew the time for the Night Banquet to begin..." Xu Zhe's guess did not need any evidence at all, Die's smiling face already knew everything, "Then why did you take us in?"
"When I thought you were stupid, you were so smart that it was scary. You are smart, but sometimes you are so stupid that it makes people want to laugh." Die gently straightened the messy collar of the man in front of her. Her voice was so gentle, as if a wife was doing the final check for her husband who was traveling far away. "Bad boy, when you first appeared in front of my store, I knew you were definitely not a simple man.
Your whole body is full of danger, but I don’t understand why. I still can’t help but want to get close to you, listen to you, and look at your cold face.
I don't believe that love exists in the world. Men and women are together only out of physiological needs and the animal instinct to continue the family line.
But only you, who is not even a fraction of my age, can make me feel such a ridiculous thing as "concern"... "
"I..." Xu Zhe understood such a sweet confession. It was a pity that although he could handle all the troublesome things, he was so immature in terms of feelings.
"Nothing is needed, nothing is useful." Unconsciously, the hand holding the collar became very tight, "After all, you are a human, after all, I am a demon, and you are my food. No one would have feelings for food, this is so ridiculous.
If people knew that I fell in love with a human, my reputation would be ruined and I would never be able to survive in the demon world again.
So this time you leave, never come back to this city, never care about my affairs, never try to find me again, and don't apologize to me.
I like you, I am just a jerk...
Go away, bad guy, save your first time for your partner...
Whether you have noticed or not, you have been silently protecting her. You have also been silently changing because of her...
Everything is clear, you are human after all..."
When Die said the last few words, she was lying next to Xu Zhe's ear. She looked just like the usual bitch, but this time, Xu Zhe didn't feel disgusted at all.
Without making any answer, he slowly backed away, left Die's side, and got into the car.
When they left, they didn't even glance at each other, leaving only their backs...
"He's gone... Will it take hundreds of years for the emptiness in my heart to heal? It turns out there really are thieves who steal hearts in this world..." A helpless sigh, with an indescribable desolation.
The poor fox turned around and returned to his unknown lair.
I don't know how many days I will be unable to come out. After all, if I don't want to be a substitute for the food of the ghosts, hiding properly is also a rule of survival.
There was nothing happening on Xu Zhe's way away, he just turned his head from time to time to look at Wu Qian who was driving in confusion.
This made Wu Qian feel very uncomfortable...
The blood-red convertible Beetle drove onto the main road out of the city without making a few turns and joined the dense traffic flow.
Because it was the last day of the evacuation, the scene was inevitably a bit chaotic. The long convoy had no end in sight, and the accelerator needle seemed to be nailed to the 10-kilometer mark.
"This is slower than a turtle. When will it end?" Tiechui was getting annoyed.
"There are still 16 hours left, and the time given by Yaqi will be up..." Xu Zhe looked at the electronic clock in the car. Its beating was like a countdown of human life.
"There's nothing we can do. After all, the number of people is too large. We can only pray that they can be evacuated completely..." Haozi felt that whether it was Xu Zhe or everyone else, they had done what they could to the limit.
Xu Zhe remained silent, the roar of horns around him making him feel annoyed.
Holding the steering wheel, while Xu Zhe was paying attention to him, he was also carefully looking at Xu Zhe. He was holding his golf bag tightly in his arms, not relaxing at all, and he didn't feel any sign that the crisis was over.
It was not until dusk, when the cars reached several intersections leaving the city, that the evacuation speed returned to normal.
Faced with so many intersections, no one knew where to go.
While Xu Zhe was waiting to make a decision, he was looking at a farmhouse restaurant on the side of the road.
“Let’s eat first, and then decide where to go after dinner…” So the car naturally stopped in front of the restaurant.
As the sun sets, it's not just the people who are rushing to evacuate.
In Yaqi's bedroom, he was equally busy.
Standing in front of the huge dressing mirror, Yaqi was preparing carefully.
The snow-white tuxedo was specially made by a top tailor, and it was very exquisite. He looked like a groom who was going to attend his own wedding...
While he was sorting things out, that loyal subordinate quietly stood up behind him.
"Sir, all the preparations for the banquet have been completed. Now we are just waiting for your order." The boy waited respectfully.
"Let's wait a little longer. Daitengu hasn't started yet. It will be ready in a few hours. By the way, where are Xu Zhe and the others?" This is the issue that Yaqi is most concerned about.
"They left WUHAN earlier today and are probably now completely out of the range of the banquet." Yaqi had been paying attention to the information about Xu Zhe without any instructions from him.
"This guy, I thought he was really a stubborn bull who didn't know how to live or die, but I didn't expect that he would listen to other people's advice at the critical moment, which made me worry a lot..." Yaqi in the mirror smiled, and his smile was so relaxed that even the action of tying his bow tie became faster. "Let's go, let's prepare together, prepare this feast for the hundred ghosts, and let those guys in the sky see it. Let them feel the taste of being fooled, and let them know that their position is not unshakable...
Because we are here…”
There was an unmistakable sense of arrogance in his words, and the simple banquet was elevated to a higher level with just a few simple words.
Even God doesn’t know what is going to happen...
"It's about to begin..." In a deep mountain in Japan that seemed to have no connection with this feast, a white-haired old man was talking to himself in front of a huge rock, "Sir, it won't be long before you will be free again. The earth will once again experience the terror of us demons. You will lead the demon world to completely erode this world polluted by humans.
Can you feel it? The gods are all terrified by your power, but they can’t do anything to us…”
Suddenly, a ten-meter-high boulder glowed with a dark light, so bright that it seemed to swallow up the world...
