Chapter 213 The Beginning of the Storm, The Ugliness of Human Nature
The vertical height dominated by the tropical storm was as high as 10,000 meters, and the terrifying sense of oppression made Jiang Shaojun, who was standing next to Zu Qingyun, feel a chill.
But soon they saw two military planes marked with the Qinling Mountains logo speeding towards them. Shortly after, several figures broke through the clouds gathered by the tropical storm and landed in the central area of Xiamen Island.
"It seems the military has begun to take over Xiamen Island. I estimate that it won't be long before those ships come here with the tide."
Before long, Zu Qingyun and his companions arrived at the tallest building in the area, riding on the ferocious beast, the white tiger Mimi.
However, there were also some old acquaintances here: Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Zhao Manyan, and even Mu Bai, their sister-in-law, had come. Moreover, there were more than a hundred elite military mages deployed around them.
"Qingyun, Jiang Shaoxu! I didn't expect you two to come too!"
Mo Fan seemed quite excited to see Zu Qingyun and Jiang Shaoxu, two old acquaintances, after all, it had been a long time since they had seen each other.
"Well, Sister Tang Yue said something might happen here, and since Sister Shao Xu, Xiao Lingling, and I are all in Shanghai, we decided to bring them along."
Seeing this, Zhao Manyan looked at Lingling with a strange expression, then elbowed Zu Qingyun and whispered in his ear, "Qingyun, this little girl doesn't seem to be an adult yet, right? You wouldn't..."
Upon hearing this, Zu Qingyun almost slapped him across the face.
"I'm a decent person, I don't have your ambition to spread my seed all over the world."
Zhao Manyan smiled to hide his embarrassment and took a step back, remaining silent.
"Qingyun, there are too many people in distress here, and because the area is too vast, the people are too panicked to carry out effective rescue."
Looking at the crowds still desperately fleeing and scattered in various places, Lingling felt a sense of helplessness.
"This problem is easy to solve. Just control them all with telepathy."
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoxu felt that he could finally be of use. However, the next second, the little girl Apas appeared next to Zu Qingyun.
She was clearly bewildered when she saw the surrounding buildings submerged by the sea.
"Master, did we come here to swim?"
Everyone: This is too much torture!
Of course, to avoid being mistaken for a scumbag by everyone, he simply revealed Apas's identity to them.
"The Third Princess of the Serpent Empire, I never expected you to be so lucky, Qingyun."
Zhao Manyan stared at Apas with curiosity until he noticed the look in her eyes that seemed to want to bite his head off, which startled him so much that he took three or five steps back.
“Don’t underestimate Apas. Her strength is comparable to that of a monarch-level demon, and her mental control is even comparable to that of a Grand Monarch.”
Hearing Zu Qingyun's explanation, everyone finally understood just how ruthless the Third Princess of the Serpent Empire truly was.
However, Zhao Manyan was extremely envious of Zu Qingyun at this moment. Since the other party said that she was the third princess of the Serpent Empire, did that mean that the other party was a legal and eternally young girl?
You know, he's seen plenty of lolis, but this is the first time he's ever seen a legal loli!
Soon after, Zu Qingyun, having activated his Vision of the Eye, began the rescue of the residents of Xiamen Island with Apas, while Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou took charge of the logistical work of transporting the disaster victims. Under the mind control of Apas and Jiang Shaoxu, the rescued people did not cause any disturbance and walked orderly towards the cross-sea bridge.
The auspicious beast Bai Ze, the ferocious beast Bai Hu, and the Queen of the Wildfire Xiao Feng were all dispatched by Zu Qingyun to clear out the sea monsters that had entered the Xiamen Island area.
Zu Qingyun was quick to rescue people; whether they were inside houses or floating on the sea, he threw them all onto Mo Fan and his group who came to help.
Soon, half an hour had passed, and Mo Fan and the others were almost exhausted. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohou had a large amount of blood serum and various military energy replenishment drugs, which allowed them to persevere.
Zu Qingyun was also somewhat tired, after all, he had encountered a large number of low-level sea monsters while rescuing people.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief and were rescuing the residents of the last area, Zu Qingyun discovered that a large number of sea monsters had entered the estuary.
"Mo Fan, Mu Bai, you need to hurry! The tide is coming in!"
The last group of residents were finally delivered to the bridge connecting the inland areas thanks to their hurried efforts. At this point, Apas and Jiang Shaoxu had taken control of the situation on the bridge.
As they were imprisoned in a military cargo truck, Apas and the others released their mind control, followed by heart-wrenching cries and screams from inside the truck.
The military mages who were driving didn't dare to delay and drove the trucks directly inland. One after another, under the control of Apas and the others, 70% of the personnel had been evacuated.
After rescuing the last group of residents, Zu Qingyun felt uneasy upon seeing this scene, but everyone is greedy when faced with a chance to live.
That's just human nature. If we don't use mind control to bring them all under control, these rescued people will definitely cause a riot over the truck's location.
Those people who were imprisoned in mid-air by Zu Qingyun using spatial manipulation were still in a state of panic, spouting all sorts of nonsense. But with the mind control of Apas and Jiang Shaoxu, they finally shut up.
"Qingyun, have all the people here been rescued?"
Lingling's voice sounded a little nervous. Although she knew the specific situation here, her own strength was too weak, so she couldn't help at all.
"Yes, these are the survivors from Xiamen Island."
Hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Mo Fan and the others present felt extremely heavy-hearted. In the next second, an image appeared in their minds, showing human corpses under various buildings.
"Ugh~"
Mu Bai was the first to give in and started retching. He knew that this was something Zu Qingyun had transmitted to them through the mind-body connection.
Now he understands why Zu Qingyun's expression was so grim when he first started saving people.
Mo Fan almost couldn't hold back either, but he had lived two lives and his ability to endure was still very strong.
Jiang Shaoxu and Jiang Shaojun were both from the military and had seen countless bloody scenes, so they were somewhat immune to such scenes.
"Qingyun, now that we have rescued all the survivors, we don't need to be so hesitant when dealing with this place anymore."
A terrifying surge of lightning erupted from Mo Fan's body, signifying that his lightning magic had reached the super-level.
