The bystanders just looked at it, of course they felt nothing, but in fact they were far from that relaxed. If they really stayed in this city now, they could experience the horror of disaster, as if they were in hell.

It was evening, and smoke from all households were originally emitting cooking smoke. Unexpectedly, the earthquake suddenly broke out, and then the next moment, disaster came. In the city, houses were damaged and furniture collapsed. I don’t know how many people were injured and died in this huge epicenter that lasted for a few seconds. The only thing I knew was that there were faint crying and wailing of despair in each building. In each building, there were terrified residents rushing out of the house and fleeing to the street in horror. Some people rushed back to save the people or things they cared about, but they never came out again.

However, this is not the end, it is just the prelude before the beginning. A few minutes later, a more terrifying situation followed, because the wind blew. The earthquake caused many fires, and the wind fueled the fire. So the residents who survived the disaster saw in horror that smoke was rolling in the distance, fires soaring into the sky near the near, flames ran around the buildings, trying to swallow everything around.

It’s not that no one wants to rush up to put out the fire, but aftershock says, no.

Frequent aftershocks became the biggest enemy at this time. Although the destructive power was much weaker than before, every time the fire was shaken, the building on fire would groan and creak, just like the sound of a demon's big mouth chewing on the corpse, making people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts even if they were next to the flames.

With each aftershock, destroyed structures fall from barely standing buildings. These fire-mounted wreckages are the most terrifying killers for those who want to put out the fire. With them, no one dares to get close to put out the fire. Although it is not necessarily harmful to splash water from a distance, who knows whether the building will collapse as a whole during the next aftershock, and completely bury the people who put out the fire around them under the ruins and flames. Although the possibility is not great, no one wants to become the unfortunate person who is played with by the possibility. Therefore, everyone can only run in panic on the street and watch the fire begin to spread.

Yes, the fire began to spread. For cities where the main body of the building structure is wood, an earthquake may not be fatal, but the flame is definitely a mortal enemy. Once the flame begins to spread and develops into a fire across the entire range, those lucky people who did not die in the earthquake will eventually die in the flames and poisonous smoke. One survivor may not be left.

However, even though they knew this, they were helpless. Fear had destroyed the reason of the people. They did not even have the courage to try their best to stop the fire from spreading. Although they knew that the chance of escaping and escaping was far less than that of escaping, they had lost their reason and courage and still instinctively chose to flee everywhere, allowing the fire to become brighter and brighter.

"Woo~~~~", the long horn sound suddenly sounded from the depths of the city. Then, the same loud horn sounded from many corners of the city, responding to the call from afar. If the residents remained rational, they would know that this was a call signal from the Fuwu Department, and it was the highest level call signal. Together with the horn sound, the fifteen branches of the Fuwu Department across the city would be fully expelled and immediately put on the battlefield to fight against the disasters that were in front of them.

The power of heaven is unpredictable, and good fortune comes from heaven, but the meaning of the existence of the Department of Good fortune is to do its best to reverse good fortune. This department, which was determined by someone, has been criticized since its birth because of its large annual expenditure. Countless officials are desperately trying to reduce this expenditure that is of little significance to them. Although it has been retained by the Lord's support and has played a very obvious role in recent years, it is still not understood by most people. However, they have only taken a few minutes to start substantial actions, and even the response speed of the city defense garrison is much faster. This is enough to be worthy of this expenditure.

If the residents were still rational, they would be ecstatic because of the outgoing of the Department of Good and Good Deeds, and would be regained their courage. Unfortunately, fear and disaster have made them lose their minds. All they see are flames and smoke, and what they hear in their ears is crying and howling, and what they think in their minds is despair.

Fortunately, someone helped them regain their sanity.

Along the main road of the city, nearly a hundred elite soldiers walked along the way, guarding the lady in the middle. The soldiers were not too close to the lady. There were eight inconspicuous guards around her, guarding the guards in all directions.

The lady was not affected by the thick smoke and aftershocks at all. She walked along the street with a blank expression against the escaped crowd. She didn't even glance at the chaotic crowd, and directly ignored them. She thought they didn't exist at all, and the soldiers were also quite rude. All the residents who rushed over and fell into chaos kicked them directly, and then slapped them several times, making them dizzy.

In despair, they were beaten for no reason, and anger filled the hearts of the victims, which made them awake for a moment. This was also the most dangerous time. Because in the rage, they were likely to attack the soldiers in front of them. If a large-scale civil rebellion was induced, the city would be over.

However, the civil unrest did not happen. In a moment of awakening, they saw the lady surrounded by guards. Their anger faded instantly and their reason returned to their hearts.

“On Lord.”

The call sounds were louder and louder one after another, spreading outward. This title was like a spell. Wherever it passed, the people in the chaos quickly woke up and looked at the focus of all their eyes.

However, the lady ignored the call of these people and walked forward without looking back. Even if the ground swayed again, it could not slow down her pace. She walked towards the building with the largest fire in this block, surrounded by guards. Some soldiers scolded the residents who were stunned and said: "What are you doing while standing, putting out the fire."

Before the largest fire point, the lady suddenly tore off her wide sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and tied up the corners of her skirt with the torn sleeves to make movement more convenient. She then took the bucket handed over by the soldier and approached the building without hesitation, and a bucket of water poured on it.

A bucket of water did not have any effect in front of the fire, but it made a sniff, but the sound came to the ears of the people who had just recovered from their awakeness, and it was as loud as a bell and drum, which made them understand their current situation.

Yes, why are you still standing there? Putting out the fire? The city gate has been closed and it must have not been opened yet. Where can you run? Let's put out the fire quickly while it has not spread across a large scale.

The people looked at each other, and then more and more people joined the firefighting team. It was not until the woman saw this scene that a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she approached the flames again, and poured a bucket of water with force.
