Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 310: Wall of Luck

"You can't take them out." The tall man at the door kept holding the knife and spoke word by word, "The hot spring water has been contaminated. No one in the hot spring is allowed to leave."

"I just changed my clothes, and so did my children. We haven't touched the water yet, and we are not contaminated!"

Among the people brought out by the green goblin, there was a woman holding a child, anxiously explaining herself. Her voice was sharp and piercing, which immediately attracted the attention of the tall man.

She got an almost ruthless answer.

"Whenever there is something unusual happening in a hot spring, you must not leave the area, regardless of whether you have come into contact with the water."

"They are crazy, but we are not. You want to lock us normal people together with a bunch of crazy people? We will die!"

The woman pointed at the person who was immobilized by the green goblin on the ground nearby. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face turned red with anxiety and despair.

She tried to find a way to survive, but the tall man was ruthless and still refused to let them leave.

The woman could only turn her gaze to the green goblin who had saved her and the others. Before she could speak, the tall man also turned his attention to the green goblin.

"As for you, you trespassed into the restricted area. Please come with me."

"How is it?" Green Xiao was not very clear about the situation here. He could not make a judgment based on the one-sided statements of the two people, so he asked Xiao for his opinion in his heart.

"Just do as he says first." Xiao replied.

Just now, when he was looking down at the situation inside the hot spring bathhouse from a high place, he saw scenes of ordinary people being massacred. The only thing that came to his mind was to bring the living people out of the purgatory-like hot spring bathhouse. Now that the tall man mentioned this, he suddenly realized that doing so was not appropriate.

"Yeah." Green Xiao responded in his heart, then looked at the tall man at the door.

"Okay, but before I leave with you, I need to ensure their safety first."

When Green Goblin said the word "but", the tall man's hand holding the knife suddenly exerted force, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. However, after hearing the subsequent request, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This was actually one of the reasons why he came here.

"Okay, let me help you."

The green goblin and the tall man separated the crazy and normal people in the hot spring and set up a barrier to prevent contact between the two sides. Only then did they leave the hot spring amid the pleadings of the normal people.

The blood-stained door at the back slammed shut, blocking out the shouting from inside.

The armor on the tall man slumped down, as if his tense body relaxed a little.

He changed his tone to a very polite one, and said to the boy beside him: "This is an emergency. Please forgive me if I have offended you just now."

"you know me?"

At this time, Green Xiao had returned control of the body to Xiao. Xiao was a little surprised at the change in the tall man's attitude. He looked at the other's face and felt strange.

I probably haven't seen the other person.

"Don't look at me. We haven't met, but we all know you."

"you?"

"General Ye and our subordinates have all told us about you, and you have an easily recognizable appearance. I recognized you the moment I opened the door and saw you."

It was precisely because he recognized her that the tall man kept his body tense and nervous.

According to the description of Xiao by Ye Lingchuan, he himself is most likely no match for him. If a conflict accidentally arises, it will be difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Xiao didn't speak, he continued, "My last name is Xing. I have been leading a team to clear anchor points around Baihe City. I just returned to the city not long ago to rest for a while."

Xiao looked at Lao Xing. No wonder the other party looked like he didn't know that he should be quarantined in the military camp and couldn't wander around.

"So what happened to the hot springs in the city?" he asked the question that was most concerning in his mind at the moment.

"The erosion entered the city through the spring water. The hot spring became a source of infection, and those who came into contact with the spring water went crazy."

"You didn't anticipate this situation before?" Xiao was a little curious.

"I expected it." Old Xing recalled that in Ye Lingchuan's introduction, Xiao seemed to be an outside editor who was not familiar with the inside story, so he patiently explained,

"Every city is more or less protected by luck. Our struggle with those monsters is like them trying to dig through the wall of luck, and we are blocking it. When a breach appears in the wall, the influence of the monsters will flow into the city. Now that the hot springs are polluted, it means that we have lost this tug-of-war."

After saying that, he muttered quietly: "Damn it, we've removed so many of their anchor points, why is it still... Is it still a problem on the mountain?"

After hearing what Lao Xing said, Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart: "So, the changes in the hot springs are just the beginning?"

"Yes."

"..."

My goodness, everything was fine when I first arrived. I just went to the mountain to eat some mushrooms and met some villains. How come when I woke up, things suddenly developed to the point where we have to have a final battle?

Isn't this gap too big?

Or was it because I was too clumsy and missed a lot of details?

During the conversation, Xiao followed Lao Xing to another hot spring resort. Like the previous hot spring, this place was still blocked by many soldiers.

"What is this?" Xiao raised his head and looked at Lao Xing.

"Only those above the Saint level can resist erosion on their own. The drugs currently developed to cure erosion have very high usage requirements and extremely strong side effects. Not to mention promoting them for civilian use, even for these strong ordinary soldiers in the city, they are not suitable.

In order to prevent the erosion from spreading through the city through ordinary soldiers, the instructions they received were only to cooperate with the barrier formation to seal off the site, and the situation inside would be handled by people of my realm. General Ye led the way, and the other king-level strongmen in the army were already on their way back. "

Xiao understood.

It turned out that Ye Lingchuan rushed back to the city in a hurry because of this.

Wait, does this mean that if I continue to follow Lao Xing, I might run into him on the road?

Because the things that Xiao had done a while ago seemed to have caused a lot of trouble for others, he still felt a little guilty when he saw Ye Lingchuan now.

"What's the matter that you want me to go with you?" Xiao asked.

"No." Old Xing glanced at Xiao, "If you have your own things to do, you can leave on your own."

"That's it..."

Xiao took out the map he had bought earlier and confirmed the location of the "Yuanliu" branch with Lao Xing again.

"It's right here, but what do you want to see them for?"

"I found something in the mountains that is said to be related to the Second Order Snow Shadow. I want them to see it."

"Found something important in the mountains? That's pretty lucky."

Old Xing smiled, and subconsciously wanted to pat Xiao's shoulder like he was treating a good brother, but he didn't look at Xiao beside him, and forgot the height difference between them for a moment, and patted Xiao's head with his big hand.

Xiao ducked his head to avoid the slap. In the puzzled eyes, Old Xing awkwardly withdrew his hand, scratched the back of his head and said, "But the person in charge here has a very strange personality, and it's difficult to... communicate with him. Why don't you find General Ye and ask him to take you there?"

"No need, I can handle it."

Xiao originally wanted to avoid Ye Lingchuan, so of course he would not agree to this proposal.

"Well, we'll say goodbye here."

After saying goodbye to Lao Xing, Xiao followed the instructions on the map and gradually came to a sparsely populated area in Baihe City.

It seems that there were only some uninhabited old houses here. After the disaster broke out, they were demolished and something similar to a factory was built on top for "Yuanliu" to use. Some traces of the foundation can still be seen faintly on the ground.

Xiao was originally walking on the roof, and this time he directly passed the guards at the entrance and exit and landed on the roof of the factory.

The sound was so quiet that no one noticed.

There were few people in the open space inside the branch, and judging from the sounds, they all seemed to be busy in the rooms.

I was careless and forgot to ask Lao Xing what the name of their leader was. How can I find him?

Forget it, I'd better ask the people here.

Xiao couldn't kick the door open and ask everyone in the room directly, so he turned his attention to the guard who had his back to him.
