Chapter 840 North Sea Refugees
The blond girl turned to look at Lu Chen and said politely: "Mr. Lu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Chen had an acquaintance with the girl in front of him. She was Irina Olar, the saint of the Church of Morning Embrace, and also Clement's biological sister.
The blonde girl wore a silver necklace around her fair neck. Lu Chen could faintly feel the extraordinary quality of this necklace. There should be two other similar things on her body, and their aura was dormant.
It can be seen that Irina's personal strength is completely different from the last time he saw her. Not only has she absorbed a stronger weird origin inside, but also the existence of the guardian suit makes this girl's strength close to that of the Dawn Knight. In the Church of Morning Embrace, An absolute master.
Lu Chen had his previous doubts again. Is Irina really a fake guardian? But she now holds the Guardian Suit, which seems to have really activated their performance, otherwise she would not be as strong as she is now.
"Is there a problem?"
Lu Chen walked to the Derivi Pillar and said that he was in a hurry.
"I feel that what happened before has the shadow of the Eternal Night Church. One of the stolen Guardian suits should have also fallen into their hands. I hope Mr. Lu will pay attention to it when he goes to the Sea of Nothingness."
Irina bowed her head slightly. Only with her level of strength could she vaguely feel the power of the person in front of her.
She felt that the man in front of her was much stronger than the last time they met, even stronger than the oppression given to her by the chief referee.
"Do you want me to recover the Guardian suit? Your Highness the Saint may be disappointed. My first task is to ensure that the invasion of the Northern Sea of Nothingness does not spread. The second task is to search for Mr. Bolton's traces and track down There is no clue at all about returning the Guardian suit."
Lu Chen said that no matter whether the Guardian suit was lost in the Sea of Nothingness or obtained by the Eternal Night Church, he had no way to recover it.
Because the former was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the latter was cautious because of the Yongye Church and would not leave any traces. He did not have time to track down the traces of the Yongye Church.
Irina shook her head, "Mr. Lu misunderstood. I just reminded you to be careful of enemies coming from the dark. I will personally recover the Guardian suit, including my brother."
Lu Chen put his hand on the Derivi Pillar and looked back at the holy and flawless blond girl, "Can I ask, since you like your brother very much, why didn't you talk to him that day?"
Irina's expression was stagnant, "I...this is the rule, that is the trajectory of his growth. In principle, I cannot see him before he reaches adulthood."
Seeing Irina's dodgey eyes, Lu Chen knew that there must be a secret in it, but the other party probably wouldn't confide in him anymore.
"Your Highness the Saint, please guard the royal capital. You and Clement will meet again, because the Eternal Night Church is reluctant to kill him."
Lu Chen said calmly, stepping into the Deliwi Divine Pillar, "See you later."
…………
Haibei Province, Luoshuang City.
This city in the northernmost part of Haibei Province originally had very few people living in it due to the bitter cold and remoteness, and now it is even more sparse.
On the road heading south, you can see carriages and people walking on foot, all migrating inland.
The statement given by the Sistine Empire is that a tsunami is about to land in the north, and the impact is expected to spread to the three provinces in the north, so the people are asked to distance themselves.
However, the Sistine Empire was vast and sparsely populated, and the living areas of the provinces were not connected to each other. Most of the areas were undeveloped wilderness. If you wanted to retreat to the interior, you would have to walk thousands of miles at least.
Fortunately, those with well-to-do families had their own means of transportation, whether it was their own carriage or a shared carriage, so they could evacuate fairly easily.
But after all, they are just a minority. The vast majority of people in this era can only rely on their own legs if they want to travel far.
When the disaster strikes, the car rental agencies in the city are almost overwhelmed. Countless people pay high prices to rent carriages, but all means of transportation in a city are always limited.
In the beginning, people in car rental agencies raised prices in an attempt to make a fortune, but in the end they no longer wanted to rent out their cars to others, and no one wanted to walk thousands of miles to evacuate inland.
On the muddy road in the wilderness, rows of people with weathered faces endured exhaustion as they walked. From time to time, some people would look back to the north, for fear of the tsunami predicted by the empire.
People tend to become irritable when they are tired. There were constant shouting and cursing in the crowd, the cries of children, and the voices of women comforting children. There were all kinds of things in this long queue with no end in sight.
"What kind of tsunami? It's been a few days. We are asked to evacuate urgently and just walk on foot? It will take several months!"
A man walked out of the team, put down the package on his shoulder, and complained to his friend.
"It's indeed strange, but it's also possible that the higher-ups have sent people to set up defenses in the north and are trying to find ways to divert the floods."
The man's friends were also sitting on the ground. They were all workers in Luoshuang City. Their income was not high, so naturally they couldn't afford to rent a carriage. They were really exhausted these days.
The fatigue of the journey was not only second, but what worried them even more was the food.
Although they had grabbed rye bread in the city before leaving, the food could only last them half a month on the road.
When they set out, they were still thinking that they could continue shopping when they arrived in the next city, but today they realized a problem, that is, people in all cities in Haibei Province were evacuating. When they arrived in other cities, they would really Can I buy food?
I’m afraid the food in the city has been emptied out a long time ago, right?
They are more worried about this problem now than the tsunami or other disasters that may come later.
"Young men, don't rest. We have to walk to Ice and Snow City before nightfall. Otherwise, camping in the wilderness will be very unsafe."
A kind-hearted old man reminded two young people sitting outside chatting that the security among the fleeing teams was getting worse and worse these days, and people died every day.
Especially after nightfall, some people will always do some irrational things when they are tired and panicked. They will vent their emotions and do things they usually dare not think about in chaotic and disorderly situations.
Although the empire sent many law enforcement officers, as well as some monks, nuns and priests from the Church of the Morning Advocate to comfort the people in the team, the chaos was still difficult to contain.
Fatigue and panic are fatal factors that destroy a group.
"Thank you, old man, for reminding me. We'll leave right away."
The young man sitting on the ground smiled, knowing that the other party had good intentions, but they started late but walked quickly, and they really needed to take a rest now.
"Goddess Morning Embrace, please help me!"
At this time, women's cries erupted from the crowd, but everyone went their separate ways, and no one had the time to watch the excitement or lend a helping hand.
Everyone is tired and cannot protect themselves. The reality is always cold.
Not long after, a woman wearing coarse linen clothes squeezed out from the crowd, holding a little girl about five or six years old in her arms.
The little girl's face turned red, her mouth opened wide as if she couldn't breathe, her big eyes were bloodshot, and her body kept twitching.
Some people in the team glanced this way, then lowered their heads and walked on silently.
"Is there a doctor? Please, is there a doctor? Please save my daughter!"
The woman stood in front of the crowd, crying and pleading.
She was a devout believer in Morning Embrace Church, but no matter how much she prayed, no goddess would show up to save her daughter.
Finally, she realized that she should not pray to the Goddess of the Morning Embrace, but to pray that there was a kind-hearted doctor here.
"Ma'am, is she having an asthma attack?"
A young man who was sitting on the ground and resting came over. His name was Pang Shide, and he was doing transportation work in Luoshuang City.
Pangshide shook off the sleeves his friend was tugging at. His friend obviously didn't want them to get into trouble.
"Yes, God, she can't breathe. Are you a doctor? Please help her."
The woman's anxious sweat and tears flowed down her face. She gently stroked her daughter's back, but it was unable to relieve the pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor. Don't you have any emergency medicine with you?"
Pang Shide hugged the girl over and motioned for the woman to stay away from the crowd with him, in a place with fresh and open air, so that the little girl could breathe more easily.
"After eating, she had several attacks due to fatigue from traveling and stress in the past few days. When we evacuated, all the pharmacies in the city were closed, so we couldn't buy medicine at all."
The woman's voice was loud, as if she wanted to attract the attention of the drug addict in the crowd, but no one looked this way.
Pang Shide had a headache and looked at the little girl lying flat on the ground with pity. He had a workmate who suffered from this disease, which was very troublesome.
When an attack reaches this level, it cannot be saved by clearing the air. Ordinary first aid measures can save it. Targeted drugs are necessary.
He shouted to the crowd, "Does anyone have any medication for acute asthma? A little girl is having an attack. Please be kind."
As a young and strong man, his voice is naturally much louder than that of women. Some people looked over and turned their heads silently.
Pang Shide also saw someone looking this way, and then turned around with a guilty conscience. He squeezed into the crowd and asked if the person had any medicine, but those people ignored him at all.
Everyone knows how valuable medicine is in the process of escaping. The people who are carrying that kind of medicine today can only be patients. They want to keep it to save their lives and are not willing to give it to a stranger.
"Oh my god, Nana, don't do this..."
When the woman saw that her daughter's body had stopped shaking and her body was no longer struggling in pain, she knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Pang Shide felt a chill in his heart when he heard the painful crying behind him. He turned back and looked at the crying woman, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
He had seen many adults die in fights and women die in assaults in the past two nights, but they were not as uncomfortable as he was now, because he stood up today, but there was still no good result for a young and lively person. Life passed away before my eyes.
"Goddess of Morning Embrace, why do you do this to us, woo woo..."
The woman's face was hideous and painful. Her husband died in a fight the night before, and her daughter's situation became very unstable after seeing that scene.
They originally had a happy family, not rich but happy, but an emergency evacuation ruined everything.
While the woman was crying, she felt a shadow appear on the ground in front of her, and someone stood in front of her, "Show me."
It was a low and magnetic male voice, but you could tell that the owner of the voice was still very young.
Before she could reply, her daughter beside her disappeared. She looked up in horror and saw a young man wearing a black windbreaker standing there. His aura was terrifying, like an evil ghost crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. .
The evil ghost was holding her daughter's body. She mustered up the courage to stand up and want to snatch it, but was frightened by the invisible force.
Pang Shide had just squeezed out of the crowd. When he came over and saw this scene, his scalp was numb. He could swear that he had never seen such a vicious man in his life.
He was sure that the other party must be a soldier, and the kind who had killed many people.
Lu Chen put his finger on the girl's eyebrows and used his spiritual power to relieve the blockage in her body. This girl did not die from an asthma attack. She also suffered from concurrent epilepsy. It has only been a minute since she was completely suffocated, and the vitality in her body has not completely dissipated. .
The vitality of the spirit traveled through the little girl's body. Within thirty seconds, she recovered and woke up with a cough.
Seeing the smiling uncle in front of her, she was almost scared to death again.
Lu Chen was a little speechless and put the girl down, "Okay, be careful not to rush so tiredly in the future."
The woman and Pang Shide looked at this scene in surprise. They had just seen a faint light appear on the man's fingers, as if some strange power had been injected into the girl's body, making her miraculously come back to life.
The woman held her daughter's face, and the little girl reacted, hugged her mother with both hands, and cried bitterly, "Mom——"
The woman hugged her baby, stood up, and said excitedly and incoherently, "Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Pang Shide was curious. This was the first time he had seen such a thing. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, are you a doctor?"
Lu Chen shook his head, "No, you go on your way quickly. In the next city, there is an official reception point where you can replenish water and food."
"You must be the messenger sent by the goddess to save the world, right?"
The woman wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Lu Chen gratefully.
Lu Chen glanced at the little girl who was lying on the woman's shoulder and looked back at him timidly, "Maybe you can put your faith aside and pay more attention to your daughter. Today you are just lucky and it has nothing to do with your faith."
The crowd seemed to be aware of what was going on here. The little girl seemed to be dead just now, why did she come back to life again.
They looked at the man in black. Could he really be the divine messenger described in the scriptures?
But the man denied the woman's faith, which is not like the people in the Morning Embrace Church.
