The long-standing fear, the merciless torture of illness, the desire to live, and the helplessness towards reality were all superimposed at the moment of hearing the news and suddenly erupted!
By the time Ning Yiyuan arrived at the scene of the incident, the situation had already become uncontrollable.
Whether it was the infected patients or the safe citizens, all of them began to riot. Their faces were filled with panic and despair, and their hands were fiercely beating and injuring the soldiers who were blocking them!
“Let us go! Move aside!”
“Why should we be sealed off? Why should we all die here? What have we done wrong?”
“I want to live. Please, let me out!”
Pleas and angry roars interweaved together, but their voices were crying blood!
Seeing this, Ning Yiyuan’s brows suddenly furrowed. He looked around and suddenly stepped onto a high platform at the side. He shouted, “You will survive!”
His firm and decisive words rang out, “I, Ning Yiyuan, promise that I will do my best. I will make sure all of you survive!”
The deep and powerful male voice was like a bolt of lightning, instantly splitting the darkness that had lasted for many days!
Ning Yiyuan? Was it really Marshal Ning?
Hearing this, most of the people stopped moving and turned their heads around in a daze. They looked at the man on the high platform. His face was handsome and his eyes were firm. That straight and fearless posture was like the strongest pride that would never bend!
“Really… Really?” A skinny little girl beside her asked in a daze. She was only 11 or 12 years old. She should have been pampered and loved, but because of this damn disease, her parents and family had all died. Now, she was the only one left! The sweet days of the past seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Only a few stiff corpses were left in front of her!
“Yes.” Looking at the little girl’s almost lifeless eyes, the corners of Zhong Wen’s eyes suddenly turned red. He took a step forward and hugged her tightly in his arms, saying softly, “Everything will be fine.”
“But they said they want to seal the area!” In the silence, a man suddenly roared. His face was full of anger and unwillingness that could not be concealed. The veins on his neck bulged. “What right do they have to seal the area? Why do they want us to die here?”
Rather than trapping everyone here, he might as well fight his way out. Perhaps he could still find a way to survive! Besides, if he really died trapped here, he would rather die outside and drag a few more people down with him!
“Let’s not talk about the fact that there is no order to seal the area now.” Ning Yiyuan’s handsome face was slightly raised, and his whole body was full of vigor. His eyes were very convincing. “Even if they really seal the area, I can still bring you out alive!”
These words could be considered Ning Yiyuan’s guarantee. It carried a bit of arrogance, but it was filled with confidence!
If someone else had said these words, the people of District 12 would not have believed it at all. However, looking at the man standing on the high platform, they gradually quieted down. If they were to choose someone from the Federation to believe, then Marshal Ning was undoubtedly the best choice!
“I, I believe you!” The girl in Zhong Wen’s embrace blinked slightly. Her tender voice carried some warmth.
The chaotic scene just now was quickly brought under control. The haze was gradually cleared away, revealing some traces of morning light.
“Ah ah–”
Suddenly, a wave of painful cries resounded throughout the entire sky!
The man who had asked the question just now suddenly fainted on the ground. At this moment, he was screaming in pain. His hands and feet were violently twitching, and his face that had already festered was trembling violently!
This was the sign of the transformation of the disease from the middle stage to the late stage!
The crowd, which had just quieted down, instantly became flustered again. They could only watch their companions step into their deaths. The feeling of panic mixed with despair was simply driving everyone crazy!
