Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 618 One hundred and ninety-five. Enter the dark passage

  The shadow that enveloped Vlarend did not dissipate until dawn.

  The good news now passes through the layers of dandelions and reaches the fallen Flalend: the safety corridor has reached the edge of the blood-colored haze. Although it is still possible to change direction, the corridor is still expanding, and the evacuation plan can already begin.

   The lights in the city hall gradually dimmed, and the power plant workers and exorcists began to return to the safety zone.

   All personnel are preparing for the most important thing: evacuation.

  The lord Valentine counted the data that he had been deliberately avoiding: the surviving citizens of Flalend.

   The answer is 300,000 people, maybe more.

   A heavy figure, before that Flalund should have had a population of over a million.

When the    dandelion came in, it killed many ignorant citizens, and the dilapidated, leaky longhouse killed the remaining citizens. And those who went out because of hunger or wanted to flee Lund.

   When Lu Li and Anna took Doreen into the city hall, Valentine's cough echoed in every corner of the hall.

  The waiter handed over the medicine and water, Valentine took it and looked up and said, "Now there is only one last thing left for you to help."

It took a lot of time to evacuate   300,000 people from the dark passage, and even if night came, only about half of them could be evacuated.

  Scarlet dandelion can cover the traces of dozens or hundreds of workers, but not necessarily tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Valentine needs Lu Li to stay in Lend during the day, after helping the last group of survivors into the safe area, reach the other end through the dark passage at dusk, and guard the Anna Promenade at night

  Lu Li did not disappoint Valentine's expectations and agreed to his request.

  The fence on the edge of the town hall was removed to make way for a corridor leading to the garden underpass, and several arches in front of the underpass have been completed.

  Torches stood on both sides of the corridor, and the lit arches burst into flames, forming a path of flames.

   If letting a dandelion in a dark tunnel would be a disaster—everyone knows that. Therefore, only a small amount of items are allowed to enter the dark passage. If you wear more than two layers of clothing, you need to take it off and go through the flame arch for disinfection.

   The first batch of dozens of people entered the dark passage through the flame corridor one after another. It took more than ten minutes, but as they stopped getting rusty, their speed would be greatly accelerated.

   A steady stream of citizens walked out of the safe area and entered the dark passage after disinfection.

"Hurry up and walk over when you are approaching the fork that is blocked by boards. Hurry up and walk over when you are approaching the fork that is blocked by boards." The personnel in front of the entrance to the secret passage reminded every citizen who entered the secret passage, even though the fork was blocked and there were exorcists Guards, but there are still hidden dangers.

   All Lu Li and Anna need to do is to go to the infected area every half an hour, bring a large number of survivors gathered by the scavengers back to the square, disinfect them in a mess, and place them in a safe area, waiting to be evacuated.

   As the morning approached, there was no bad news coming from the secret passage, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

   "How much food do we have left?" Valentine asked his assistant Dom.

   "There are not many vegetables and meat left, and there are still 3,600 boxes of canned food collected and collected."

   "Leave 600 boxes and the number used in the safe area, and distribute the rest to the citizens of the infected area. They cannot be allowed to give up on the eve of dawn."

   For Lund, who once had a population of one million, 3,600 crates was a barren number. It's not even enough to fill a tenth of citizens' stomachs—

   But at this time, its symbolic meaning is greater than its actual value. The cans represent one thing: the city owner has not given up on you, keep waiting, and rescue will come eventually.

  I heard that the citizens of the infected area who became restless after the evacuation started to be calmed down. They leaned to the window and watched the scavengers on the street outside the window pass by again and again.

  Although there is some bad news, for example, the uncontrollable residents ran out of their homes and were killed by dandelions, a scavenger team member didn't notice that the trousers were cut and attached by dandelions, or the chaos at the entrance of the secret passage wasted more than ten minutes.

   But the evacuation plan is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

   The lights of the power plant gradually turned on. As evening approached, Lu Li, Anna and Doreen who followed them sheltered hundreds of citizens for the last time to the square and then went to the city hall.

   Doreen walked over to her brother Dom, and the lord Valentine, who was even more tired after the table, thanked them and told them about the situation on the security corridor.

St. Andrews set up a sentry tower 20 miles away from Lund to observe the wind direction. They organized scholars to analyze that this airflow over the Therma Mountains will move southward in a big way. Lund does not have to worry about the sudden change of the wind direction, at least not this week. .

  At the same time, Saint Andrews sent five teams of the Night's Watch and dozens of exorcists to help - half of their exorcism power.

   They set off in a carriage early this morning, and may arrive at the safety corridor at midnight, so Lu Li will no longer fight alone.

   On the other side, Dom, who had finished caring, took Doreen back to Lu Li, and led them to the dark passage, from outside the flame arch to the bottom of the fountain.

Most of the citizens of   Lund already knew why the flames that illuminated the sky twice came from, so no one was dissatisfied with Lu Li and others cutting the queue.

   "Please take care of her..." Dom pleaded, watching them disappear into the dark passage.

  …

  The dark passage is wider than expected.

   The evacuated citizens were lined up with two people, and the staff who maintained the order could still pass by against the wall.

   It seems that this is not a simple escape route. However, only the city lord Valentine could find out the original reason for the excavation of the secret passage from the countless dossiers.

  The dark passages packed with citizens were filled with whispered conversations, footsteps and coughs.

  The dirt under his feet was like sand and dust, and the torches hanging on the wall took away the scarce air, and the turbid air made it hard to breathe.

  The surroundings of Lu Li were an exception. Anna's invisible shelter dispelled the dust and stagnant air that made people cough.

   "We should go from above." Anna whispered, passing through the dark passage doesn't seem like a good choice.

   Lu Li agreed with her, but it was too late to look back.

   They followed the surging crowd for twenty minutes, and a staff member came sideways from behind to remind Lu Li that there was a disturbing fork in front of him.

  Lu Li looked forward, and at the end of the back, he vaguely saw two figures guarding something.

   He looked back again, and the bustling procession surrounded them, forced to move forward.

   Lu Li frowned. He didn't know whether the sudden uneasiness in his heart was because he was trapped in a secret passage full of people, or a fork in the road that was getting closer and closer.

   At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out on the side of the fork in the road more than 20 meters away.

   Mixed with the loud shouts of the exorcist, some citizens rushed into the fork that was blocked by wooden boards like crazy. The narrow dark passage was suddenly filled with chaos, and people fled to both sides with screams, and the fear spread. Someone fell, someone was looking for the child who was squeezed out, and the staff who maintained the order quickly rushed here——

   Suddenly, Doreen rushed out behind Lu Li.
