Versatile Mage: The ancestor of the blood race, the blood demon lord

Chapter 182 A Cruel Decision

In the underground world
Some time has passed since the horrific earthquake, and more and more people are being rescued from the rubble.

After escaping from the predicament, the first thing they did was not to help the people around them who were still trapped under the rubble.

Instead, they chose to look for people who had escaped from the ruins like them, and look for places where other people gathered.

Only a very small number of people who escaped from the rubble began to rescue those buried under the rubble after they had recovered some strength.

Most of these people are younger mages.

As for ordinary people, they couldn't even stay rational, let alone join in the rescue work.

Soon, under the leadership of some older wizards, as well as people from the British Magic Association and military wizards, a simple temporary camp was built.

Ordinary people were all arranged in one area to prevent them from causing chaos at this time.

The beginner and mid-level mages, along with some workers and adults with good physical strength, started the rescue work.

The high-level mages were on guard around the camp, ready to deal with any situation.

As for those super-class mages... because this collapse happened too suddenly, the places where the super-class mages are stationed are some of the most important places in the city.

Most of the super-class mages suffered injuries of varying degrees. There were even a few who failed to react in time and were hit by steel bars and carried deep underground by the earthquake.

"What went wrong?"

"A lot of people died and the city was completely destroyed."

"There are still many people trapped under the rubble. We need to help them quickly."

"What help? It's hard enough for us to survive. How can we have time to care about other people's lives?"

"Isn't this a demonic attack?"

"Don't joke around at a time like this. If there really is a demon attack, how powerful of a demon would it be to be able to destroy our city so easily?"

Those who were relatively lucky enough to survive the disaster fell into a very bad physical and mental state.

At the same time, a bad atmosphere spread among these ordinary people.

Irene looked at the chaotic situation without saying anything. She didn't know how to deal with this problem.

The rumors are getting worse and worse. If a large-scale panic occurs at this time, the temporary camp they have built with great difficulty will be destroyed.

The best way... should be to deal with those who deliberately spread rumors and panic.

Although such methods are cruel, they can stabilize the emotions of the survivors in the camp to a certain extent.

However, this matter absolutely cannot be ordered and done by her.

It is not appropriate for her to appear in the public eye at this time because her identity is too special.

If someone wanted to take action against her at this time, the consequences and losses would be something that Britain would simply not be able to bear.

"how's it going?"

Seeing Mu Nujiao coming back, Irene seemed to have found her backbone.

After spending several years together, Irene has come to trust this sister who is slightly older than her very much.

"Not very well. The whole city was destroyed. I estimate that less than half of the people survived, but most of them were buried under the rubble."

"And... the place where supplies were stored was completely destroyed, and the entire supply warehouse fell to a lower place." This news was truly the worst news. Without supplies, even if they survived.

They will also starve to death due to lack of supplies!

Maybe some supplies can be found under the ruins. After all, there are so many houses, and food can always be found among the ruins.

But... in the current situation, with no one in command, to put it bluntly, everyone is just waiting to die.

The wounded need someone to take care of them, someone to keep watch on the surroundings, someone to find food, and someone to rescue those trapped under the rubble.

"Is it really that bad?"

Irene did not expect that supplies could be guaranteed when the city had been destroyed.

However, this was the first time she had encountered something this bad.

"There's even worse news. The city's barrier has completely failed, and the device that released the barrier is missing."

"I don't know whether it was broken due to the earthquake, causing him to be unable to maintain the barrier, or whether the device has fallen deeper into the ground."

"But in the next period of time, if a demon attacks, we will not be protected by the barrier."

Without the protection of the barrier, in the ruins, as long as the demons launched a charge, they could be taken away in one wave.

Maybe a few wind mages could keep flying, but... without the cover of ground troops, they would be obvious sitting ducks in the sky.

“I don’t know what happened to the other teams.”

The team that followed Mu Nujiao to explore included two other teams led by super-class mages.

One team will go to the channel connecting the underground world and the above-ground world, and the other team will go to explore the surrounding area to see if there are any signs of the demons reviving.

In the worst case scenario, Mu Nujiao is ready to take Irene and assemble a team to escape into the underground world.

The city is too big a target, and the enemy will definitely occupy the ruins of the city and hunt down the remaining humans in the city.

Staying where you are means waiting for death. It is better to gather a team, break out of the enemy's encirclement, and find a safe area at a certain distance from the city to hide.

They can only have a chance of survival if they wait for the human mage team on the ground to come and support them.

As for the others... Mu Nujiao had no way to deal with it. Her abilities were limited, and there was really very little that a mid-level magician could do.

"Erin... prepare for the worst. We have to abandon the others in this city."

"All super-class mages must leave with us."

This is the most correct approach, there is no other way.

Brutal, but efficient, Erin takes precedence over everyone else in this city.

Irene remained silent. She understood what Mu Nujiao meant and had to wait for the other two teams to return.

It didn't take long before members of another team returned and informed them of the bad news that the passage to the ground was buried.

Now, they could only wait for the other team to come back with no bad news.

"Here they come..." Mu Nujiao looked at the several mages returning from the horizon, and her bad premonition was about to come true.

"The enemy has appeared! There are at least hundreds of thousands of demon troops heading towards us, and behind them is a very powerful being!"
