I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 26 Finding Life in Desperation
The streets were already in complete chaos.
Qi Feng arrived with his men and found the situation in a chaotic mess.
He immediately felt a surge of anger.
Qi Feng cursed under his breath; Yuan Mu-ye was always more trouble than he was worth.
The once relatively stable situation in Fire City had been completely ruined.
Yuan Mu-ye also came down from the broadcasting station.
Before he could say anything, he heard voices in his head:
"Negative emotions from Qi Feng +99"
"+199…"
"+299…"
Feeling these, Yuan Mu-ye suddenly stopped in his tracks, frozen for a moment.
That was almost six hundred negative emotion points in an instant.
Unbelievable…
This discovery added a touch of joy to Yuan Mu-ye's otherwise heavy heart.
Li Pangpang was still desperately trying to maintain order.
But the people’s hearts had already scattered; chaos reigned.
It wasn't easy to calm everyone down now.
His fat body was being jostled back and forth.
Yuan Mu-ye approached, took out a loudspeaker, and shouted, "Everyone, quiet down and listen to me."
The loudspeaker worked.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Mu-ye.
Yuan Mu-ye seized the moment and said, "I am Yuan Mu-ye of the Seventh Special Supernatural Team, and that gentleman is our deputy captain, Qi Feng."
Yuan Mu-ye quickly spotted Qi Feng in the chaotic environment.
"Who is Qi Feng?"
"See that man with a face as black as coal? He is our deputy captain. You can discuss anything with him first."
"Negative emotions from Qi Feng +199…"
"+799…"
"+999…"
Qi Feng was furious. He wondered how Yuan Mu-ye had spotted him when he was standing so discreetly.
It was really strange.
As soon as they heard Yuan Mu-ye's words, the crowd wasted no time and quickly surrounded Qi Feng and the others.
They all wanted an explanation.
Li Pangpang was now able to extricate himself and approached Yuan Mu-ye.
"Lao Yuan, Fire City is now completely in chaos…"
"Yeah."
Yuan Mu-ye responded.
Li Pangpang was stunned for a few seconds to see Yuan Mu-ye looking so calm.
He wondered if he wasn't worried at all.
Just then, he saw Yuan Mu-ye holding a stack of something in his hand and asked, "Lao Yuan, what is this?"
"Zhu Gui Fu (Ghost Extermination Talismans). They can be used against evil spirits. Giving these to them should help protect themselves."
"Where did you get them?"
Li Pangpang suddenly asked.
Yuan Mu-ye paused for a few seconds, looked at Li Pangpang, and said, "I learned to draw them myself from books."
Li Pangpang was even more astonished and stared at Yuan Mu-ye.
"Are they useful?"
"Of course, they are useful. The last time I fought a Level 2 evil spirit, I used talismans I drew myself."
As soon as Yuan Mu-ye finished speaking, Li Pangpang was as if he had discovered a new continent, staring at him in disbelief. "Really?"
"Of course."
"Then give me some later, I…"
"Don't worry about that now. Let's give these to these people first. If they want to leave Fire City, they'll have a better chance of surviving with these Zhu Gui Fu (Ghost Extermination Talismans)."
Yuan Mu-ye said with mixed emotions.
Li Pangpang completely agreed with what Yuan Mu-ye said, so he said, "Lao Yuan, you're right, but when are you going to give them out?"
"After that grandson Qi Feng gets a good dressing down."
At this moment, Qi Feng was being besieged by the crowd and was beaten black and blue.
In the end, he couldn't help himself and pulled the trigger.
With a "bang," his gun fired into the air.
Everyone who heard the gunshot was obviously frightened and scattered.
Qi Feng said, "You bunch of commoners, just stay here and fend for yourselves. Let's go."
Qi Feng hurriedly got into the car, and the others quickly followed.
As they drove away, Yuan Mu-ye shouted, "What are you waiting for? Pick up things and smash the car."
The crowd squatted down and picked up stones from the ground, smashing the car with a cacophony of sounds.
"Negative emotions from Qi Feng +199…"
After the crowd had vented their anger.
They calmed down a little, but then a look of panic appeared on their faces.
Everyone was at a loss for what to do. They didn't know what the next step was.
At this moment, Yuan Mu-ye walked to the center and said, "Everyone, listen to me."
"What do you have to say?"
"Now that all the supernatural team members are gone, what can we do? Everyone, hurry up and scatter. If we leave now, we might be able to reach Yun City before dark."
"Before you go, take a talisman from me. It will help you."
Yuan Mu-ye took out the Zhu Gui Fu (Ghost Extermination Talismans).
The crowd naturally knew that these things had some effect.
So they listened to Yuan Mu-ye's arrangement and lined up to receive the Zhu Gui Fu (Ghost Extermination Talismans).
Before long, everyone had received their Zhu Gui Fu (Ghost Extermination Talismans).
Some families left Fire City, while others had no intention of leaving.
In the end, there were about fifty or sixty people left, mostly elderly people living alone and some with little ability to take care of themselves.
Their faces were full of despair.
Yuan Mu-ye and Li Pangpang looked at everyone and took a deep breath.
Li Pangpang didn't know what to do for a moment, so he asked Yuan Mu-ye, "Lao Yuan, what should we do now?"
"Is there a big house nearby? Let's all gather together and live there for now."
Yuan Mu-ye took a deep breath.
"Finding a place to live is easy, but what about food? If there's no food supply, these people will basically have no way out other than death at the hands of evil spirits."
After Li Pangpang finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and added, "Not just them, we might die here too."/
What he said was very realistic.
Food supply was indeed a big problem.
Looking at these seventy or eighty elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people.
Yuan Mu-ye thought for a moment and said, "Pang Ge (Fat Brother), from today onwards, we won't be getting supplies from the Supernatural General Team, so we have to get our own supplies."
"Then how do we get them?"
"We can only find a way to get them from Yun City," Yuan Mu-ye said.
"That's possible. There's a black market there. If we have enough money or ghost stones, we can exchange them for food."
"Ghost stones can be exchanged for food?"
"Of course, do you think ghost stones are something everyone can have? Only people with awakened souls can have them."
Li Pangpang explained.
Yuan Mu-ye thought it made sense.
Just then, a cry suddenly broke the silence…
