Chapter 404 - Give Me Three Days (2/2)
“Your eyes must fool you after being hungry for a long time.”
“I am d.a.m.n sober!”
When Lin Luoran flew into the city, she didn’t use the Mini World to hide her body so many hungry people saw it clearly. The civilians are talking about it but soldiers and officers whisper that these people are crazy. Who will enter the city at this moment? Maybe someone who wants to commit suicide.
Even so, this news is still reported one after another and the General who leads the army thinks a lot.
Someone flying into the city?
He knows that if someone’s martial arts reach a certain realm, he can acquire the skill of Gravity Defying Kung Fu like flying in the air with the support of internal force. Why does such a strong man suddenly come to Shen City?
The General feels suspicious. He asks his men to check whether there are civilians rumoring to make an upheaval.
The civilians are sure it did happen. Although the sky is dark, the figure in white is clearer and brighter than white snow. Two soldiers also witnessed it with their own eyes. It is not made up by these civilians.
The General is so amazed but still wears a calm look. He is about to appease the emotions of the civilians as usual and tells them how the royal doctors are doing in the research of the treatment for the plague. At this moment, colorful light bursts out from the dark city.
A female voice spreads across the city throughout the thick stone wall.
“Those who burn the city in the following three days… will be dead.”
The general stares closely at the colorful light. What kind of treasure is that? The woman who is talking must be the mighty martial artist who just entered the city. It is absurd to stop the military order by one person alone!
Citizens are discussing noisily. What? Burn the city? Will they also be burned to death?
The general also has expectations in his heart, hoping that the female warrior can do something to show herself… He doesn’t want to give the command of burning the city at all. There are 40,000 civilians and they are people of Ying.
For a man, his sword can only be used against the enemy and should never be used to kill civilians.
The general looks at Shen City with full hope. However, the scenery he expects doesn’t appear. The female voice rings with hesitation again.
“I need a hundred women who can cook…”
She needs women to enter the city? At this moment, who dares to enter the city? Civilians all step back. However, women are always more soft-hearted, especially those whose family members are locked in the city. They are hesitating.
The General has asked those women. Their families are either dead or imprisoned in the city.
If they can not escape from death either, then family reunion is also a good result. Some women think a lot. Eventually, more than a hundred women enter the city.
“Give me three days to save them.”
More than one hundred women have entered the city and the female voice disappears after saying the last sentence. However, it is like a drop of water in a hot oil pan.
Save them?
—Who is she going to save? Everyone?
The civilians always feel numb but now they are kind of touched. Will someone risk her life to save people as humble as them? Liar!
Well, are you lying?
Many people want to vent this question out of their chests. Eventually it turns into subtle tears and hopes.
If they can survive, why will they choose to die?
If they can survive…
The light of torch trembles in the night breeze and the black oil has covered the city walls. Shen City will be engulfed by fire instantly with a spark.
Lin Luoran only gets three days to save 30,000 people.
