Chapter 382: Shocking Change
When he opened the door from the study and went downstairs to the courtyard, no one from the Yuhui Cult tried to restrict Ye Lan. They had obviously received instructions from Xia An.
Ye Lan found Xu Lemo and asked.
"Under what circumstances will the plan of the Lock of the World be triggered?"
"As long as the Touch of the Ancient God is not really dealt with by the Yuhui Divine Religion, but the power is hidden." Xu Lemo said:
"When it wants to do something, that's when my Lord God takes action."
Ye Lan nodded.
boom! !
Suddenly, a deafening roar made the ground tremble.
Yelan turned around in horror.
Huge fire, rising mushroom cloud.
He had seen it too many times.
Nuclear explosion!
Happening directly in Glory City!
That location...
Ye Lan frowned.
"Zhao Mansion?" Xu Lemo was in disbelief...
"Grass! Grass! Grass!"
Zhao Mansion has completely turned into a sea of fire, and several surrounding streets have been damaged to varying degrees. Ye Lan is arriving with the first search and rescue team sent by Xu Lemo.
When they arrived, Li and Bai's teams had already arrived and started rescue.
Outside the Zhao Mansion, Li Zhixin was cursing wildly and pacing.
Snap.
"What's going on? Why are you here?"
A hand suddenly rested on Li Zhixin's shoulder. He was slightly startled and turned his head ferociously.
"Go in and save people! Don't talk to me!"
The roar was satisfying, but when he saw the face of the person who tapped him on the shoulder, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Eh? It's you, buddy!"
Ye Lan frowned.
"Why did you come down? Didn't I ask you to stay in the Disk of Glory?"
"...Ah." Li Zhixin scratched his head in embarrassment: "The plan can't keep up with the changes... We decided to go home and arrange it ourselves, including drawing up the list of scientific research teams, etc... Alas, didn't Lao Bai also report it when you left? Well, I said I might want to come down..."
"I remember, what I said was that at least one of you should stay up there." Yelan said word by word: "Where are the two of them now?"
Li Zhixin:......
"Don't tell me." Ye Lan pointed to the ruins of the Zhao Mansion behind him, pointing to the smoke and raging sea of fire inside: "Where are they?"
Li Zhixin:......
Yelan:......
I can't hold it any longer! I really can’t hold it any longer!
Why do you have to commit suicide?
Not living well?
What the hell...
"Are you still alive?"
"I don't know!" Li Zhi explained in a panic: "Old Zhao was there from the beginning, and Lao Bai led the team in to rescue! Lao Bai and I just arrived not long ago!"
Ye Lan narrowed his eyes.
"Why didn't you go?"
If Bai Zhuohai hadn't arrived later and came to the rescue, Ye Lan would have really suspected that Li Zhixin wanted to feed the two of them together for unknown reasons.
Anyway, decades later, in the dynasty, he did the same thing...
etc.
etc!
Something is wrong!
Li Zhixin in Dynasty doesn’t know herself!
A chill ran through Ye Lan's body like electricity.
Is your judgment wrong? Isn’t this real history?
No, that’s not right, there is another possibility!
The Li Zhixin in Dynasty is not Li Zhixin!
"Lao Bai said that we can't be taken over by one pot. He will go inside to search and rescue and investigate the situation first. I will be responsible for guarding the perimeter." Li Zhixin introduced honestly, and suddenly felt that Ye Lan looked wrong: "...What's wrong with you?"
Ye Lan retracted her thoughts and looked at him deeply.
"It's okay, just stay here and I'll go take a look."
After saying that, Ye Lan glanced around, grabbed a gas mask from the supplies next to Li Zhixin, and walked directly into the sea of fire filled with radiation and gunpowder smoke.
Li Zhixin looked at the direction Ye Lan was leaving in shock. After being stunned for a long time, he finally understood why something was not right.
"Dude! Wear protective clothing!"
However, Yelan has gone far away...
Hot, so hot!
Speeding through the sea of fire at full speed, a hot burning sensation spread throughout his body.
Ye Lan was not slowed down by the sting, but the weak spiritual energy covered his whole body, activating the rapid self-healing effect.
Don't look at the fact that he was still thinking about talking to Li Zhixin just now, it was just to find out the situation here. In fact, he was really anxious.
No one of these four people can die!
Chuchuchu!
Ta-ta-ta-ta!
Yelan didn't know which direction to go until the sound of gunshots came from the sea of fire, and Yelan suddenly had a direction.
Not long after, in a relatively open ruins, two groups of people were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.
Both sides were dressed similarly. Gas mask, full body anti-heat suit, insulated gloves.
And it wasn't actually a very intense firefight... The insulating suit looked as bulky as a space suit. This was the reason why Yelan didn't wear it. It was such a waste of time.
What's more, under such high temperatures and complex conditions, guns are faced with various sudden failures and problems.
Snap!
Yelan quickly identified which side was the Bai family's rescue team, fired a hook shot, and captured a soldier whose bunker had been smashed.
The man suddenly flew up in the air. When he opened his eyes, there was already a man in front of him. He was very panicked. He drew his gun and started to fire, but Ye Lan disarmed him directly.
"Don't panic, it's me." Ye Lan grabbed the man's head and looked at him, then got straight to the point: "Where is the White Turbid Sea?"
The man was stunned for a moment. After all, in the past two days of operations, there were not many people in the four major families who didn't know Ye Lan.
"... It's you!" The man said in a panic: "We have isolated a firebreak nearby and have already settled the head of the family!"
Ye Lan had no joy of finding the target, and his brows were twisted into a ball.
"Settled?"
"Yes." The man looked worried: "Just got shot by the enemy a few times, and his life is hanging by a thread..."
Ye Lan gritted his teeth.
'On the verge of death'.
"Who is the enemy? Who are you exchanging fire with?"
"... I don't know!" The man's words almost made Ye Lan unable to hold back, but fortunately he added some reasoning afterwards: "The head of the family speculated that it was the rebels of the Zhao family."
"Rebels?" Ye Lan was stunned for a moment: "In other words, the current situation is just the power struggle among humans?"
"... Yes, the younger brother of the head of the Zhao family is not in harmony with him, and he is ambitious. I'm afraid he suddenly decided to launch..."
Ye Lan felt a little confused for a moment.
Really?
In such a troubled time, a key figure like Zhao Ganghuang was assassinated, and his life or death was uncertain, just because of a fight between humans?
Bang!
A bullet almost grazed Ye Lan's scalp. Ye Lan turned his head irritably and fired with his revolver.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Ye Lan shot leisurely, and after nearly half a minute, all the enemies fell to the ground, without a single one missed.
No one died, all were seriously injured.
The Bai family rescue team looked at Ye Lan in shock and swallowed their saliva.
It's too outrageous!
In this vast fire and smoke, everyone's vision was blurred, but they shot so accurately? One shot per person?
Even more outrageous... was Ye Lan himself.
He really didn't wear any protective clothing except for the mask. The raging sea of fire burned Ye Lan continuously and healed infinitely, and his appearance was quite hideous.
"Take me to the firebreak immediately, and the others drag all these...rebels over and interrogate them separately!"
"...Yes! Yes!"
The Bai family's team immediately cleaned up the scene, and the person rescued by Ye Lan at the beginning took him to the so-called firebreak at full speed.
A relatively remote house in a mansion is a certain distance away from the surrounding houses. There is a small inner courtyard, and all the weeds and other combustibles around it have been cleared, leaving only scorched earth.
At the same time, there is a Bai family soldier holding a high-pressure water gun to monitor all directions, preventing any place from suddenly burning with high temperature in real time.
"Cough... cough..."
Accompanied by weak groans and slight groans, Ye Lan walked over. A man covered in blood was lying there, and a soldier was bandaging him very simply, with two bullets that had just been taken out beside him.
White turbid sea.
"How is it?" Ye Lan did not talk to him, but asked the military doctor beside him directly.
The military doctor saw that it was Ye Lan, and answered without any concealment.
"It's very serious. The most important thing is that the radiation here is serious. If we don't leave quickly..."
Ye Lan looked directly at Bai Zhuohai.
"Why don't you evacuate from here?"
Ye Lan originally guessed that Bai Zhuohai would give him an answer that he was loyal and could not leave until he found Zhao Ganghuang, but he gave an answer that surprised Ye Lan.
"Not yet..." Everything that happened in succession has completely made him lose his youthful childishness and filled him with a sense of maturity:
"Something... big happened... I have to decide how to tell the outside world... before I can... leave."
Ye Lan had a very bad feeling.
"What's the matter?"
"... I have to discuss it with you... OK, over there." After hesitating for a while, Bai Zhuohai pointed to a door: "You go inside and look at the third one from the positive number. I haven't dared to let my subordinates see it. I am mixed in..."
Ye Lan said nothing and strode towards the room Bai Zhuohai mentioned.
The moment he opened it, Ye Lan frowned.
Corpses, charred corpses
Ye Lan endured the physical discomfort, counted to the third charred corpse, and gently turned him over.
Then, he was stunned.
During the entire operation of the Shadow of the Past, for the first time, his whole body was stiff.
Zhao Ganghuang!
Zhao Ganghuang is dead!
