Chapter 40: Thunder
Anling City.

It's daylight.

Yang Fan had no idea that his act of hunting mutant macaques had stirred up a huge undercurrent in Da Xia.

At this time, he was strolling in a street market with a backpack on his back.

The so-called "street market" is actually a small market spontaneously organized by residents of one or several communities.

Residents took out unused items, such as electronic products like mobile phones, or food like frozen meat, and even gold and silver jewelry, and sold them on street stalls.

of course.

Some residents sell frozen meat, not because they have too much meat at home to eat, but because they are reluctant to eat it and want to exchange it for more food.

Yang Fan looked at the crowded market and sighed in his heart: "In a new era, humans will always spontaneously form a new social ecology."

To describe it in terminology, this is – productivity determines production relations.

Yang Fan strolled around for a while and soon discovered two things.

The first thing is that there are more soldiers on patrol.

He had been walking for less than ten minutes when he encountered two teams of patrolling soldiers, each of whom was holding a gun.

A thought popped up in his mind: "What happened in Daxia again?"

The second thing is that there are many foreigners here.

He walked around for a while and saw at least thirty blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, some setting up small stalls or buying things among the crowd.

Yang Fan found a friendly middle-aged woman and asked, "Why are there so many foreigners here?"

The aunt glanced at him and asked, "Young man, are you from outside the city?"

Yang Fan made up an excuse: "To seek refuge with relatives."

The old lady then replied, "These foreigners used a lot of supplies to exchange for Daxia resident certificates, and the government settled more than a thousand people in Anling City."

Yang Fan thought of his upstairs neighbors and suddenly realized, "These foreigners are quite smart!"

The aunt said proudly: "Daxia is the safest country in the world. I have read a lot of international news recently. Other countries are in chaos."

Yang Fan nodded: "Indeed."

The old lady was quite talkative and mentioned another piece of news: "I recently heard that the government plans to start the first batch of immigration ahead of schedule.

"It is said that the first batch of immigrants involved 30 million people, all of whom were residents of the most remote areas. Hedong Province will resettle at least 2 million immigrants."

The aunt commented: "I really don't know why the authorities are in such a hurry. They haven't even prepared resettlement housing for the immigrants yet, but they are rushing to bring them here."

Yang Fan said: "Yes, immigrants can only live in tents after they arrive. This is too pitiful."

This lady is just an ordinary person and doesn't understand the ins and outs of this.

But he knew in his heart that this was definitely related to the poisonous mosquitoes.

After all, Daxia's territory is too vast. Once a mosquito plague breaks out, the authorities will certainly not be able to take care of remote areas.

In order to reduce civilian casualties, the best option is to migrate in advance before the poisonous mosquito swarms appear on a large scale.

The two were chatting happily.

There was a small disturbance not far away.

"Wang!"

All I heard was a dog barking.

A big snow-white dog, which looked like a foreign breed, suddenly rushed over.

A quarrel broke out immediately.

"Your dog chewed up my stuff."

"The dog is ignorant, so it will just bite whatever it wants."

"This is your dog, so of course you are responsible!"

"What's wrong with you? Isn't it shameful for an adult to argue with a dog?"

Yang Fan looked over when he heard the sound and saw a young woman arguing with a skinny old lady.

The old lady seemed to be the dog owner, with an unreasonable and shameless face.

The young woman was so angry that she was shaking, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, but she was unable to do anything about the other party.

Yang Fan retracted his gaze and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with that old lady?"

Now is a time of material scarcity, but the old lady can actually afford to keep a dog. It is obvious that she is not a simple person.

The aunt lowered her voice, her tone full of disgust: “This old man’s son used to be a gangster, and he suddenly awakened his supernatural powers not long ago.

"This dog has caused trouble more than once or twice. The old lady always protects him, and the patrol station can't do anything about it."

Yang Fan suddenly understood.

Daxia provides very generous benefits for people with special abilities, and their immediate family members also receive extra care.

The old lady's son got lucky and became rich, and his mother also lived a good life.

But she has a very bad character. Not only does she not do good things, but she also bullies others and seems to enjoy it.

After a while.

The quarrel is over.

The young woman thought she was unlucky, wiped her tears and closed her stall and left.

The old lady was very proud.

The big dog ran back and circled around the old lady, wagging its tail happily.

Yang Fan said goodbye to the old lady, walked past her, and coughed lightly.

The big dog shook its ears and looked over subconsciously.

Yang Fan took a look calmly and happened to meet the big dog's eyes.

This moment.

His eyes flickered. Then.

Yang Fan turned his head and walked over slowly.

Five seconds later.

"Ah~"

A shrill scream rang out.

The arrogant old lady just now sat down on the dirty ground, covering her right hand tightly and crying bitterly.

A large amount of blood had already flowed out from between her fingers.

Everyone around was stunned.

Others saw clearly that the big dog suddenly went crazy and bit the old lady's right hand hard, biting off a large piece of meat.

But out of some tacit understanding, no one was willing to come forward to rescue.

Many people even welcomed the opportunity.

"Wang! Wang!"

The big dog barked a few times and ran away into the distance.

Passersby did not dare to stop them and dodged.

Yang Fan watched this scene, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

This was naturally his doing.

After a while.

A piece of news came - Big Dog committed suicide!
The big dog rushed to the river on the east side of the community, climbed over the guardrail and jumped down.

As a result, the ice on the river broke, and the big dog fell into the icy water and drowned.

Many people applauded when they heard the news.

Yang Fan nodded gently: "The ice layer has become much thinner. Just as I expected, the first group of poisonous mosquitoes will soon appear."

He glanced at his watch and muttered in a very low voice: "There is still a quarter of an hour before the red lightning comes."

*
ten minutes later.

Several patrol officers received the alarm and rushed to the scene.

The patrol captain leading the team, Miao Jiancheng, looked at the howling old lady and sighed helplessly.

Patrol Captain Miao really feels a headache about the old lady who keeps causing trouble.

罚？
The higher-ups said that people with special abilities should serve the country and their families should be properly taken care of.

The Patrol Department had no choice but to play it safe.

A patrolman whispered, "He lost so much blood, but he's still howling so hard. It looks like he's well-nourished."

Patrol Sergeant Miao glared at his subordinate and warned him, "Do you want to be complained about?"

The patrolman quickly shut his mouth.

Patrol Captain Miao coaxed the old lady for a while, then said in a friendly manner, "Aunt Li, can I take you to the hospital in my patrol car?"

The old lady started to act strange: "I can't walk now, call the doctor."

Chief Inspector Miao suppressed his displeasure and continued to coax the old lady: "Aunt Li..."

The words are not finished yet.

"Boom!"

There was a loud thunder.

The originally cloudy sky suddenly darkened significantly, looking like dusk.

Patrol Captain Miao shuddered all over and instinctively looked up at the sky.

next moment.

Including this group of patrolmen, more than two hundred people within a radius of dozens of meters had their hair standing up into afro.

Chief Inspector Miao was startled and shouted, "Be careful of lightning strikes!"

The voice just fell.

Dozens of red lightning bolts, like thunders of judgment sent down from the high sky by the gods.

Chief Inspector Miao saw with his own eyes that the sky flashed and an exceptionally thick bolt of lightning struck right towards him.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, and said to himself: "It's over!"

The patrol chief has seen a lot of internal information. Recently, there have been a number of strange red lightning incidents across the country. So far, more than 800 people have been killed by lightning.

He never imagined that one day he would encounter such a thing.

Besides.

Patrolman Miao also smelled a fishy odor.

He knew without opening his eyes that it must be this old lady who hated dogs and was so scared that her pants got wet.

A strange thought also popped into his mind: If the old lady was struck to death, the lightning would have done a good thing.

however.

Patrol Captain Miao waited for several seconds.

But nothing happened.

He couldn't help but open his eyes and found that the afro hair of the people around him had all returned to their original state.

Patrol Captain Miao was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had escaped death.

The lightning didn't come!

I'm alive!
