Chapter 1615: Tragic situation of 1614
“What’s going on?” The captain of the guard was the first to hear the noise. “Is anyone still inside without evacuating?”
Tan Rou said, “They are people from the Dawn Society.”
Since they were from the Dawn Society, the guards had no duty to rescue them, and besides, they were all in danger themselves, so how could they go in to rescue others?
Zhuang Liu knew who had been left behind, but at this moment he no longer had the strength to speak. When that needle exploded, a small amount of the medicine entered his body. He hadn’t expected such a small dose to be so potent, and he was already feeling dizzy and blurred vision.
If all the medicine had been injected into his body, he really didn’t want to imagine what would have become of him.

The ground kept shaking, and soon it began to collapse. The surrounding buildings were also affected; those of poor quality had walls cracking open in the explosion.
People still eating breakfast hurried out of their homes, thinking it was an earthquake, but once outside, they realized that this was far more serious than an earthquake.
A group of soldiers armed with submachine guns ran outside, with screams and explosions mixing together, like the end of the world.
“What’s happened?” Citizen A asked.
“Help, there’s a terrorist attack!” Citizen B shouted.
“Run!” Citizen C yelled. “There’s been an earthquake!”
The entire area was in utter chaos, with the sounds of explosions, cries for help, and the collapse of buildings and the ground; these noises were filling Tan Rou’s ears, causing her head to throb.
By the time they reached a safe area, the explosions had stopped, but cries for help could still be heard from inside.
The captain of the guard didn’t know what to do; his communicator had been damaged in the chaos, so he could no longer hear Samiyi’s orders.
“Miss Tan Rou, what should we do now?” the captain of the guard asked.
Tan Rou said, “Let’s go back and report the situation here to the princess. Although this place has been destroyed, I think there might still be some useful things left behind. We can let the professionals handle it later.”
Zhuang Liu, however, said, “Those who are alive can also be saved. They have followed Gand for many years and must know some of his secrets. Gand must have escaped by now, and we don’t know their new base yet, so perhaps those people might know something.”
The captain of the guard said, “Yes, I’ll send a few people to escort the two of you back first. The rest will stay to search for and rescue the surviving individuals.”
Tan Rou did not insist on staying. Her wounds needed to be treated as soon as possible, and Zhuang Liu’s condition was not good; she needed to get him treated quickly.
“Alright, be careful,” Tan Rou instructed. “Although the explosions have stopped, we can’t guarantee there won’t be more, so wait a bit before going over. And make sure to take protective measures during the search and rescue, to prevent exposure to poison gas and flames.”
The captain nodded. “Yes, I understand.”
A few team members escorted Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu away, while the remaining guards stayed behind with the captain to inspect the site and search for survivors.
When the houses collapsed, those who ran quickly had made it outside, but they still fell into pits created by the explosions. They weren’t dead, but they were seriously injured.
The captain of the guard said, “Groups of three, spread out and search for the living. These people are crucial witnesses; we can’t let them get away.”
The other members of the guard rapidly joined the search and rescue, with the captain standing atop the wreckage, directing their efforts.
Looking at the pits on the ground and the bodies emerging from the ruins made the captain feel extremely angry.
Before the mission, the princess had told him that the leader of the Dawn Society was very clever, but she hadn’t told him that the person could be so cruel. There were still so many people who hadn’t evacuated, how could he have ordered the destruction of this place?
Most of the people died in the explosion, some were blown to bits on the spot, and others were crushed to death by collapsing buildings. Those who barely survived weren’t much luckier; they either had arm or leg injuries, and even if they lived, they would be disabled for life.
“It’s too tragic!” the captain of the guard heard someone say.
“Did this family offend someone?” another asked.
“Let’s not get involved, to avoid getting ourselves implicated,” someone else said.
