And as if to prove what Zhang Tie said was true, before his voice faded away, a deafening explosion just a few streets away suddenly rose.
Dozens of manholes were blown into the sky.
Immediately after, flames that looked like an evil dragon baring its fangs rose up.
"It's Black Shirt Alley." Zhang Tie's brows were furrowed to the point that they formed black creases. "The spirit energy pipes and underground drainage pipes over there are connected to the area where the explosion was. The flames must have turned into streams of fire with the help of sticky, flammable substances. They're spreading out nonstop through areas we can't see.
"If this continues, half of Leprosy Village might end up in a sea of fire, and even if the villagers aren't burned to death or killed by the explosions, all our resources are going to be burned. We'll die of starvation or thirst. We might even end up in confusion and kill each other!"
