734: Chapter 730: The Speed of Evacuating the Crowd 734: Chapter 730: The Speed of Evacuating the Crowd Wang Ke’er had once displayed her incompetence in front of Ye Tian, so she had always wanted to change his perception of her.
However, it seemed that Ye Tian’s attitude had not changed…
“Although I still have some doubts, I do have a question for you, Officer Wang Ke’er!”
A serious expression returned to Ye Tian’s face, and Wang Ke’er held her breath, wondering what Ye Tian wanted to ask.
“What’s the question?
I’ll answer truthfully as long as I know the answer!”
Wang Ke’er declared, patting her small chest.
Ye Tian then said, “It’s actually not a big deal, Officer Wang Ke’er.
I want to ask, if Jiangcheng were to face a catastrophic disaster, how long would it take to evacuate all its citizens?”
“A catastrophic disaster?
What do you mean?”
Wang Ke’er looked at Ye Tian in astonishment.
Ye Tian liked to joke around, so why was he now speaking so seriously about such things?
Catastrophic disasters belonged in science fiction novels, didn’t they?
“I’m just hypothesizing!
Officer Wang Ke’er, if you don’t want to answer, then forget it!”
Ye Tian stated directly.
He couldn’t tell Wang Ke’er about the Sima Family’s plan to use the entire city of Jiangcheng as a furnace.
If word got out, it could cause unnecessary panic.
Moreover, evacuating the masses would be much more troublesome than directly crushing the Sima Family’s sinister plot.
“Who says I don’t want to answer?”
Feeling somewhat looked down upon by Ye Tian, Wang Ke’er immediately retorted.
“Although I don’t know what kind of catastrophic disaster you are referring to, if such a scenario did occur, the police would immediately contact the municipal government and the military to conduct an orderly evacuation.
For a large city like Jiangcheng, with a population of several million, it would be virtually impossible to evacuate so many people in a short time.
Conservatively, it would take an entire day!”
“An entire day?
That’s too slow!”
Ye Tian couldn’t help but complain.
At such a pace, if the Sima Family had already started refining the elixir of immortality, it was likely that few of Jiangcheng’s citizens would survive!
“That’s the limit!
Ye Tian!
Do you really want to have a serious conversation?” Wang Ke’er was agitated and defended herself, “Gathering crowds is inherently dangerous, as it can easily lead to stampedes.
Therefore, evacuating the masses cannot be rushed.
Also, the mood of the population is very important.
If panic were to spread among the people, things could get a whole lot worse!”
Wang Ke’er answered Ye Tian’s question from her professional perspective, but her answer was not what Ye Tian was hoping for…
“Thank you, Officer Wang Ke’er!
I get it now!”
Ye Tian waved his hand at Wang Ke’er, intending to head straight into the shopping mall.
However, his attitude left Wang Ke’er extremely dissatisfied!
“Wait!
Ye Tian, what do you mean by this?
You ask some inexplicable questions and make these vague statements—I don’t understand any of it.
Can you explain?”
Wang Ke’er demanded an explanation, but Ye Tian just smiled and said, “Officer Wang Ke’er, from your answer just now, it’s pretty clear that ‘You can rely on the police as much as pigs can climb trees’!”
“What did you say!?
Take this!”
Ye Tian, in public no less, had just besmirched the honorable image of the police, and Wang Ke’er, naturally unable to contain her anger, swung her little fists at Ye Tian.
Although Wang Ke’er was a well-trained policewoman, her combat skills were insignificant in Ye Tian’s presence; her small fist hadn’t even hit Ye Tian before he caught it with one hand.
Ye Tian took the opportunity to pull Wang Ke’er closer to him.
“Hmm… you smell good!
Officer Wang Ke’er, I didn’t expect a woman like you to start wearing perfume!”
Ye Tian took a deep breath, clearly distinguishing the scent of perfume coming from Wang Ke’er.
“Why can’t I, Wang Ke’er, wear perfume?
I’m a woman too, you know!”
Wang Ke’er’s face flushed with indignation as she argued.
Despite being flat-chested, she still looked pretty good when she dressed up, and the scent of perfume added to her femininity.
So, in recent times, Wang Ke’er had enjoyed applying perfume and light makeup, which had significantly enhanced her charm…
“So that’s it!
Officer Wang Ke’er, you can be quite cute!”
Ye Tian said this, and without any shame, pecked Wang Ke’er on the cheek.
“Ah!”
Wang Ke’er let out a scream, finding herself inexplicably subjected to Ye Tian’s brazenness despite having no relationship with him.
This was intolerable!
“Ye Tian, you dare to bully a policewoman in front of so many people!
I’m not taking this lying down!”
Enraged, Wang Ke’er unleashed all the martial arts skills she’d learned at the police academy on Ye Tian.
While Wang Ke’er’s academic performance at the academy was commendable, Ye Tian considered her techniques to be mere show, attractive but impractical.
So Ye Tian didn’t bother to dodge at all, allowing Wang Ke’er’s fists and feet to smash onto his body!
Wang Ke’er “pitter-pattered” with a series of hits, but her punches and kicks caused no harm to Ye Tian.
Instead, they made Wang Ke’er herself feel a numbing sensation in her limbs, as Ye Tian’s body was like Copper Skin and Iron Bones.
“Hmph, I’m not fighting anymore!”
Seeing that she couldn’t get any advantage over Ye Tian, Wang Ke’er could only stop.
She pouted her lips, showing a face full of dissatisfaction.
Wang Ke’er really didn’t know what Ye Tian’s muscles and bones were made of.
She had exhausted all her strength to punch and kick him, but she hadn’t caused any harm to Ye Tian, only managing to hurt her own hands and feet.
If she continued fighting with Ye Tian, it would be nothing but a humiliation to herself!
“Hehehe, since you’re not hitting me anymore, I’ll take my leave, fair policewoman!”
Saying this, Ye Tian spread his legs, ready to flee!
“Wait a minute!”
Wang Ke’er suddenly called out to Ye Tian, causing him to pause in surprise.
“Tai Ping, is there something else you want to say?”
Ye Tian asked in astonishment, while Wang Ke’er showed a serious expression!
“Ye Tian, although you’re very strong, you must still do things within your capabilities!
If you really encounter a formidable opponent, you should seek help from others instead of stubbornly fighting alone.”
“…”
Wang Ke’er’s words left Ye Tian speechless.
How did Wang Ke’er start to sound more and more like his wife Yun Xinyan in just a few days?
Words like safety and acting within one’s capabilities were on her lips, and her concern for him was overwhelming!
“Tai Ping, you worry too much.
I’m fine!
I don’t need anyone else to worry about me!”
Ye Tian laughed it off, but of course, Wang Ke’er didn’t believe him.
“Ye Tian, that old man you encountered that day was very strong, so strong he didn’t seem human.
Even though you said you tied with him, I just can’t believe it!
Also, when I saw you earlier, you looked rushed, not at all like someone who has nothing going on!
Plus, you were asking me about evacuating crowds, no matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like a trivial matter.
It seems something big is going to happen in Jiang City!”
Wang Ke’er talked at length.
Although she could be quite blunt, her analysis was on point.
Ye Tian felt somewhat helpless, but after all, Wang Ke’er was looking out for his best interest.
He couldn’t just give the cold shoulder to someone showing him warmth, could he?
“Don’t worry, Tai Ping!
I will be cautious!
And in the future, if the police can be of any help to me, I won’t hesitate to ask!”
Ye Tian spoke straightforwardly, then dashed into the shopping mall!
“Ye Tian, actually I wanted to ask you, why have you been going into the shopping mall so much recently?
I know that a man like you doesn’t like to shop!”
Wang Ke’er sighed to herself.
She wished that she could have talked with Ye Tian a little longer, but she had no right to make him stay…
Wang Ke’er watched Ye Tian enter the shopping mall, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian went straight to the parking lot on the second basement level of the mall, and expertly made his way behind the wall with the hidden door.
Ye Tian carefully looked around to see if there was anyone there.
Fortunately, it was quite secluded, and there was not a soul in sight.
Ye Tian also glanced at the cameras installed by Wang Ke’er’s subordinates behind him, they had been removed since they served no purpose anymore.
Ye Tian’s hand pressed on the wall, lightly triggering the mechanism, and the secret door opened.
He walked straight through it.
Descending the spiral staircase, Ye Tian reached the very bottom.
The seal from the municipal department was still on the door ahead.
It was evident, since he had last left, no one had been to this place!
Ye Tian made no fuss, pushed the door open, and the seal on it broke.
He passed through the door and then entered the underground river.
“Huala huala!” “Huala huala!”
The water in the dark river seemed even fiercer than before, and Ye Tian, with his meticulous mind, quickly took note of this change.
“Why is this happening?
The water is getting rougher?
Could it have something to do with the Spirit Vein?”
The last time Ye Tian had entered this underground river, he was able to move forward with ease, but the current conditions required him to use the Thousand Catties Drop technique to increase his weight, allowing him to proceed steadily despite the torrential waters.
After some time in the underground river, as the flow became steadier, Ye Tian stopped using Thousand Catties Drop and continued on.
After a few more steps, Ye Tian could clearly feel that the Spirit Vein beneath Jiang City was near!
In front of Ye Tian, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth…
