The entire Jinling city has become a ruin.
When Yan Liqiang and his men from the Sihai Escort Agency arrived at Jinling City, what they saw were collapsed city walls, burning houses, and a city that had become a ruin with almost no intact buildings left.
Yan Liqiang didn't know what Jinling City looked like before, but the Jinling City in front of him reminded Yan Liqiang of the scenes after the Tangshan and Wenchuan earthquakes that he had seen on the Internet.
In addition to the damage caused by the earthquake, several meteorite fireballs fell from the sky and hit the entire Jinling city last night, causing huge explosions and impacts. A large pit with a diameter of tens to hundreds of meters was left on the ground where the meteorite fell, and everything within a thousand meters around the pit was reduced to slag. It is estimated that not even a cockroach would be able to survive.
The once prosperous and dreamlike Jinling City, at this time, was like a ghost town. Apart from the ruins everywhere, there was only a faint smell of blood floating in the air.
The city of Jinling was littered with collapsed houses and ruins. Some of the living people had blood on their faces, while others were covered in dust and dirt. They were either wandering on the ruins like soulless zombies, searching in vain for something in the ruins, or wailing on the ruins, crying until their tears dried up, looking like crazy.
As for those who died, they were everywhere, men and women, young and old, and the way they died was simply unbearable to look at…
At this time, there were no government offices or yamen in Jinling City, because the government offices and yamen in the city had been completely wiped out in the explosion last night - one of the fallen meteorites was less than 200 meters away from the government offices and yamen in Jinling City.
The troops stationed in Jinling City had their barracks inside the city. When the accident happened, many soldiers were in the caves in the city wall. With the collapse of the city wall and houses in the city, most of the troops stationed in Jinling City who were lucky enough not to be affected by the explosion and shock wave of the meteorite were buried in the ruins of the thick city wall.
When Yan Liqiang and the people from the Sihai Escort Agency entered the city, there was no city gate in Jinling City anymore. It was just a pile of ruins made up of broken stones and bricks after the city wall collapsed. The group of people entered the city by stepping on the ruins of the city wall.
When Yan Liqiang entered the city, he also saw a soldier in military uniform. The soldier was dishevelled and stood dazedly on the ruins of the collapsed city wall. He was mentally unstable. Yan Liqiang called out twice, but the soldier did not respond. He just muttered to himself on the ruins, "It's all fucking gone, it's all fucking gone..."
Wang Hui and many people who stayed behind at the yard had never been to Jinling City. When they came and saw it, they were all shocked and finally understood the truth of what Yan Liqiang said—the entire Jinling City had lost order, all government offices were gone, and they could not rely on anyone but themselves. At this time, the first priority was whether they could survive. Only if people were alive could they protect the bodyguards.
When Wang Hui saw the huge pit with a diameter of 100 meters near the south of Jinling City and the empty ground around it, his face finally turned pale. "I've been to Jinling City before. This is the most prosperous Jinling Eighteen Lanes in Jinling City. The best restaurants and music houses in Jinling City are all nearby. Leader Feng brought people to Jinling City to meet friends yesterday. If it was in Jinling Eighteen Lanes, then..."
If Feng Biaotou and his men really met friends at Jinling Eighteen Lanes last night, then at this moment, Feng Biaotou and his men couldn't even find the bone residue, so it was naturally impossible for them to return to the yard...
Wang Hui didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant. Everything before them once again proved what Yan Liqiang had said before. If Feng Biaotou hadn't returned this morning, it was very likely that something had really happened to him and he would never come back...
Thinking of this, those who followed Yan Liqiang into the escort agency in Jinling City couldn't help but look at Yan Liqiang with a bit more awe in their eyes. Being able to accurately predict the outcome of things through various clues before everyone sees the result, this is wisdom, and it has the power to convince everyone.
Yan Liqiang also felt the subtle changes in the eyes of everyone looking at him after entering Jinling City. This change was exactly what he hoped for. At this time, the escort team was leaderless and everyone was in panic. If he did not stand up and continued to let others manipulate and arrange things for him, his life in the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm might be lost in Jinling City. The Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, which could glimpse the future, would collapse. This was not the result he wanted.
Turning his gaze away from the huge meteorite crater that seemed to still be emitting steam, Yan Liqiang looked at Wang Hui with a stern face and a calmness that others could hardly imagine. He asked Wang Hui a question, "Boss Wang, do you still remember where the market selling oil, salt, rice and noodles is in Jinling City?"
"I remember... it seems, it seems that there is a market near the west gate of Jinling City, where oil, salt, rice and noodles are sold..."
"Okay, let's go there first and see if we can find some food and then leave Jinling City. There are corpses all over the city now. Unless a large army can be sent here to clean up within two days, there might be a major epidemic in Jinling City and we won't be able to enter. We have limited time, so hurry up..."
Everyone nodded, and then Wang Hui led the way. A group of more than ten people walked through the ruins of Jinling City towards the west gate of Jinling City which no longer existed.
"Boss, is it possible that there are still survivors under the ruins?" While walking on the road, Gu Zexuan approached Yan Liqiang and whispered something to Yan Liqiang.
"I know..." Yan Liqiang nodded and glanced at Gu Zexuan. "We could have saved people last night if time allowed, but not now. If we stopped here to save people, we might have been able to save a few more lives from the ruins. However, the current situation in Jinling City does not allow us to stay here for too long. We have no water, no food, and no place to live. Chaos and plague may break out in Jinling City at any time. We must first ensure that we can survive before we can consider saving others. Everyone trusts me now, and I can't lead them into a ditch and let the people around me die in order to make my conscience feel good!"
After listening to this, Gu Zexuan looked at the devastated city and ruins and could only sigh helplessly.
…
In the ruins of a collapsed building in Jinling City, a group of people in fancy clothes were rummaging for something. After a while, they lifted a box out of the ruins. When they opened the box, the group of people all shouted wildly, "We're rich, we're rich, there really is silver hidden in this pawnshop, now all this silver belongs to us, hahahaha..."
Just as the group was shouting, Yan Liqiang and his men came out from behind a pile of rubble, and the two sides collided with each other. Then the group suddenly became nervous, and drew their swords, looking at Yan Liqiang and his men viciously, "Who are you..."
