Chapter 255 Tragic

"What's going on?" Noticing Li Lin's sudden expression, Hilko asked with a frown.

"See for yourself."

With a sullen face, Li Lin directly projected the live images transmitted by the mechanical engineers through the network.

Hilko had never seen this kind of technology before and had a novel look on his face. Before he could ask anything, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The remaining bricks, rubble and dark green metal building fragments are scattered all over the place, almost condensed into substance, and you can't even see your fingers when you reach out, it's like a dark night without any light.

In the thick haze, the aftermath of the explosions in some places was still continuing, and orange-red firelights lit up from time to time, revealing the figures of a few people who had fled.

The screen suddenly switched, and the haze became thicker. The perspective shown in front of Li Lin and Hilko seemed to be approaching the core area where the explosion occurred.

A huge alchemical substance transportation pipeline on the ground was burning with flames, and several hideous holes were opened. Dark green toxic substances continued to flow out, and when they came into contact with the metal ground, gray smoke suddenly "sizzled" up, blending into the haze. .

Suddenly, another dazzling firelight filled the entire projection screen.

Immediately afterwards, the screen disappeared, and Zhinao's reminder followed.

[The mechanical engineer numbered 269 was severely damaged by the explosion and has been disconnected from the network. Nearby mechanical engineers are being dispatched to provide support. 】

Li Lin took a deep breath and ordered Zhinao to continue changing the pictures taken by the nearby mechanical engineers.

As the perspective continued to switch, around the alchemy pipeline, more than a dozen bodies wearing alchemy technicians' work clothes were already in shape, and corpses that had obviously lost the breath of life were scattered everywhere.

Others who were seriously injured coughed violently and stretched their hands in the direction of the camera's perspective, pleading for help.

Even if there was only a picture but no sound, Li Lin and Hilko could feel the tragedy of the explosion immersively, and they were filled with deep anger in their hearts.

"Damn it!" Silko punched the table. "No wonder there has been no news about Gorask recently. He is planning such a heartless thing!"

Li Lin wanted to say that this incident was just Lenata's most suspected, and it was not necessarily her fault.

But when I think about it, it doesn't matter whether she did it or not. The most important thing now is another thing.

"Now is not the time to complain, Hilko, we have to send people to rescue the people immediately.

"I have sent mechanical engineers from all my factories to the scene. I have now sent the message to Piltover University and are mobilizing the mechanical engineers there."

Li Lin walked directly to the window behind Hilko and opened it. The plasma thruster started, and the whole person was half suspended in the air.

“The breathing station in the lower part of the middle-level square has been damaged by the explosion, and tens of thousands of people are being exposed to poisonous gas.

"I will go to repair the breathing station, but the respiratory filtering devices there are limited. Pi City will urgently dispatch a batch of rescue supplies, but it will take time. You should have them here, right?"

"Yes, but the number is not large, probably a few hundred pairs." Hilko said solemnly, "I will ask my subordinates to purchase all the respiratory filtration devices in the border market. I should be able to collect about two thousand pairs."

"Okay, move as quickly as possible. Someone may die every minute of delay."

After saying this, Li Lin flew out of the window.

Hilko hesitated for a moment and called him, "By the way, Fandel's side..."

"I'll let him know."

…

…

A few minutes ago, Fulgen's Tavern.

Bao Bao was sitting at the bar, holding an old patched rabbit in his arms and a glass of juice in front of him.

She looked at Fandel, Vi, Clegg and Milo who were moving things in and out of the warehouse from time to time, biting the straw in her mouth.

After a while, when Wei put down the wooden box full of wine bottles, Bao Bao asked vaguely: "Wei, when do you think we should go to school?"

Wei straightened up and casually wiped the sweat from her forehead. When her sister said this, a hint of helplessness flashed across her face.

She looked back and saw Fandel re-entering the warehouse, then she stretched out her finger and flicked Explosive's head.

"Ouch! What are you doing, Wei! It hurts..."

"What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Lin give you? Why do you always think about going to the city?"

"Li Lin didn't do anything!" Baobao puffed up his face, "Obviously you agreed to go to the city a while ago, but another month has passed and you always use various excuses to deal with us."

Wei put her elbows on the table, leaned against the bar, and said with an indifferent attitude: "Tch, didn't Fandel say nothing?"

"But Fandel has been urging this matter recently." Clegg, who had just moved a wooden box, heard the conversation between the two sisters and interrupted.

"Go away, it's none of your business Clegg." Wei waved her hand to Clegg who was almost taller than herself.

He reluctantly curled his lips and shrugged, and continued walking towards the warehouse, "Don't let Fandel catch you slacking off, Wei."

"knew."

While answering, Wei was about to leave when Bakuo suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Vi, do you... still have a grudge against Shangcheng?"

A strange color flashed in Wei's eyes. He didn't expect that she could say such a thing, "What do you mean by that?"

There was a trace of sadness on Baobao's face, "I know you have been avoiding mentioning what happened back then, but I already remembered it by then."

Wei frowned, pursed her lips and stared at her sister who lowered her eyes.

"Actually, I know, and we all know, that our parents did not die because of going to the city. They died in the explosion at the alchemy factory."

"Bang bang..."

Bangbao didn't notice that his sister's face became increasingly gloomy, and continued to talk to himself: "It was just that the people of the lower city led by Fandel took this opportunity to resist the upper city, and were ruthlessly suppressed by the law enforcement officers.

"But that factory was run by people from the lower city. Our parents were not involved in the rebellion, and their deaths had nothing to do with the city."

"Bangba, stop talking..."

"Wei, we shouldn't attribute the death of our parents to Shangcheng, they..."

"I told you to stop talking!"

Wei clenched her fists with both hands and punched the table hard, startling her.

Hearing the commotion in the tavern, Fandel, who had just walked out of the warehouse, hurried to the front desk, followed by Craig, who gradually changed from fat to strong, and Milo, who had a grimace.

Seeing the two sisters looking at each other silently, Fandel asked in a deep voice, "What's going on here? Wei, did you quarrel with Bao Bao again?"

"No... I accidentally kicked the wooden box just now."

Wei looked away from Blast, pretending to be nonchalant and wiped the corners of her eyes, then turned to look at Fander, forcing an ugly smile.

Clegg knew the content of the conversation between the two sisters just now, and knew that they were arguing about this matter again, so he sighed silently.

Milo raised his eyebrows, looking disbelieving.

Fandel also maintained a skeptical attitude, "You should know that you can't hide it from me by lying, right? Tell the truth."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Baobao wanted to take the matter on himself.

But before she could speak, Wei seemed to know her thoughts in advance and said first: "Actually... I thought about it. It's time to go to Li Lin and ask him to arrange for us to go to school."

As soon as these words came out, not only did she burst into laughter, but even Clegg and Milo had a look of astonishment, thinking that she had been controlled by a mage who knew black magic or had been tricked.

Different from the reactions of several children, Fandel's face showed an expression of relief, "I was about to ask you about this recently, and it seems that you have already figured it out."

Wei smiled awkwardly, turned her head and looked at Bao Bao with twinkling eyes, without saying anything else.

"When I finish what I'm doing, I'll call Li Lin and ask him to make arrangements..."

--boom!

Before Fandel could finish his words, there was a violent tremor and a loud noise that followed. Clegg and Meroin lost their balance. The box they were holding fell to the ground, and the glass bottle shattered instantly. The wine seeped into the ground along the cracks in the wooden floor.

"What happened……"

Several people looked horrified and hurriedly ran outside the tavern to check the situation.

The environment outside, which was already dark due to the lack of sky, became a little darker again.

On the street, passers-by who were also unaware of the situation looked around blankly, asking what was going on.

Not long after, Fandel, Wei, Bangbao, Clegg and Milo all smelled a very pungent smell, which burned their respiratory tracts and lungs, causing them to cough violently.

Fandel, who had worked in the trench mines and participated in the Ashes Day incident, reacted immediately.

This taste...

It smells exactly like the alchemical venom leaked from the factory explosion back then!

Fandel's face was gloomy, and he waved to the four children, "Quick, go back to the house! Wei, Clegg, go find the breathing filter device in the room and put it on!"

This kind of scene and memory touched the memories in Wei's heart, and she was stunned for a few seconds.

Seeing that Bingbao's coughing became more intense, Fandel raised his tone a bit, "Wei! Take your sister to put on a breathing filter device!"

"Ming, I understand..."

After several children entered the house, Fandel squinted his eyes and looked to his right, where many people were running this way.

After more than ten seconds, he casually grabbed a frightened, thin man and said, "Hey, brother, why are you running away?"

"Exploded, exploded...exploded!" the man gasped.

"It exploded...? What exploded?"

"Xiaocheng District... alchemy, alchemy workshop, exploded!" The man put his hands on his knees and gasped, "Brother, the alchemy gas has leaked, and it will be here soon."

He raised his head and noticed that he had arrived at Forgan's Tavern, and recognized the man next to him who grabbed him as Fander.

"You are Fandel! Quick, before the refugees come and there are not many Screaming Machines, take your four children to the upper city to take shelter... I, I'm leaving first! "

After a slight reminder, the man hurriedly ran in the direction of the screamer.

Fander fell silent and did not stop him.

After a few seconds, Milo ran out, "Fander, give you a breathing mask!"

Fandel took the mask and put it on quickly, then turned around and said, "Milo, go to the bar and get a bag of silver wheels. Call Shang Wei, Bao Bao, and Clegg to go to Giraman Manor in the upper city to find Li Lin."

"Ah? Why..." Milo didn't react for a while.

"Stop talking nonsense and go!"

"oh oh……"

As soon as Milo entered the room, Fandel suddenly heard a strange noise in the air and looked up with squinted eyes.

I saw a figure with blue light flashing on its body and a bright blue-white tail flame shooting out from behind, falling quickly.

Fandel's eyes lit up, "Li Lin!"

Before he could ask too many questions, Li Lin said first: "The matter is urgent. Quickly gather your subordinates, put on breathing filters as much as possible, and go to Xiacheng District to rescue the wounded!"
