She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Chapter 478 - Evacuation of the City

Chapter 478: Evacuation of the City

The pa.s.sengers discussed animatedly, and those voices naturally reached Mo Yelou’s ears.

Under the mask, Mo Yelou’s expression was cold.

At this moment, he didn’t feel good either.

As a prince, he could have enjoyed all the glory, wealth, and a stable life. However, he had guarded the front line of the battlefield all year round, fought the cruelest battles, and suffered the most painful injuries. Why? Wasn’t it to let the people of the Divine Moon Empire live in peace and not suffer anymore?!

The Prosperous Capital’s citizens weren’t only his brother’s people, but also his people. He had sacrificed everything for this country! Now that he was going to personally seal the Prosperous Capital and watch these citizens die, his heart ached.

The gun in his hand was used to protect the people of the Divine Moon Empire, but today, he had no choice but to point the gun at his people.

But they had no choice.

The Death Curse spread so quickly and in so many ways that it was simply impossible to deal with. If the city wasn’t sealed, the Divine Moon Empire and even the Divine Realm Continent would be destroyed. That would be a true tragedy.

For the sake of the Divine Moon Empire, the Divine Realm Continent, and the entire Holy Spirit Continent, they could only make this decision.

Sealing the city was the cruelest and most effective method.

A pregnant woman suddenly looked up at Mo Yelou and asked in a sorrowful tone, “Your Highness! Is the Divine Moon Empire really planning to abandon us?!”

Mo Yelou looked at the pregnant woman’s big stomach and clenched the gun in his hand. No one had sealed his mouth, but he could no longer move his lips and say a word.

At that moment, the advertis.e.m.e.nt on the station’s LED screen suddenly stopped playing.

Following that, the screen flickered a few times. Then, Mo Yuelou, who was wearing a black suit and the Emperor’s ident.i.ty medal on his shoulder, appeared in front of the screen.

“It’s His Majesty!”

When they saw Mo Yuelou, the Sword Edge Army immediately saluted.

All the pa.s.sengers looked up at the screen and saw their respected emperor. Tears welled up in their eyes again.

Mo Yelou stood behind a red desk with three microphones on it. Mo Yelou looked at the live broadcast camera with a serious expression. He said in a low but clear voice, “To the people of the Prosperous Capital, I regret to tell everyone that our city has a plague.”

The hall was silent except for the emperor’s clear and heavy voice echoing—

“… In order to protect the Divine Moon Empire, the Divine Realm Continent, and the entire Holy Spirit Continent, we have made a painful and heartless decision. We have decided to immediately seal off the Prosperous Capital. From this moment on, all transportation in the country is prohibited from approaching the Prosperous Capital. All citizens of the Prosperous Capital are absolutely prohibited from leaving the city without pa.s.sing a physical examination. Those who violate the order will be shot on the spot!”

When he gave his speech, Mo Yuelou’s tone was cold and forceful, but his eyes were filled with tears of guilt.

At the end of the speech, Mo Yuelou closed the script.

He looked at the live-stream camera sadly, as if the souls of the eight million people in the Prosperous Capital were on it.

Mo Yuelou’s eyes were filled with tears as he said in a sad tone, “The calamity has arrived. We have no other choice. My people, I am incompetent and am unable to save you from danger…” After saying that, Mo Yuelou pounded his chest hard, then bowed deeply to the camera.

The station was silent.

Everyone looked at the Emperor with bloodshot eyes.

The moment the emperor’s figure disappeared from the screen, sorrowful cries sounded in the station. The pa.s.sengers were crying, the staff were crying, and the people of the Prosperous Capital were crying.

Mo Yelou raised his gun again and mercilessly pulled the trigger!

Hearing the gunshot, everyone fell silent again.

Mo Yelou raised the microphone and said loudly, “Next, please line up, roll up your sleeves, and accept the inspection. Those who pa.s.s the inspection will take the maglev train to the new gathering place for free while waiting for the country’s arrangements.”

“Time is tight. Wasting time is endangering lives!”

Mo Yelou had always been a decisive man. He was ruthless and never soft-hearted.

Since he had decided to seal off the Prosperous Capital, Mo Yelou wouldn’t let himself be immersed in sadness. The most important thing was to buck up, increase work efficiency, and transfer the infected citizens to a safe place as soon as possible.

Under Mo Yelou’s intimidation, the station staff and citizens were all gathered in the hall and lined up to be examined.

* *

The Prosperous Capital was on high alert.

The Prosperous Capital’s mayor, Lu Yubei, stood behind his office desk and announced to the citizens with a microphone, “All citizens, please follow my instructions and do a self-test as soon as possible. If you are infected, there will be a black blood vessel on your arm. Once you find out that you are infected, please stay at home and be quarantined. You aren’t allowed to go out, let alone sneak out of the city! Otherwise, you will be shot on the spot!”

“Citizens without black blood vessels on their arms are temporarily uninfected citizens. Please quickly head to the Three Waters Pier, the s.h.i.+cheng Pier, as well as the maglev train station and the high-speed rail east station, as well as the Meng’an Mountain Airport and the Moon Gazing Mountain Airport to be tested by the military. Those who pa.s.s the test will be sent to the observation area for isolation surveillance.”

“In order to prevent traffic from delaying the evacuation, please try to take the subway…”

One order after another was given. The entire Prosperous Capital became nervous.

At Qing Hui Entertainment Company.

After Su Qianqian finished filming the cover of a fas.h.i.+on magazine, she had just returned to the company from the magazine agency and was about to go to a teahouse to meet the director of the next movie. Just as she reached the company building, she saw the emperor’s figure appear on the huge LED screen on the commercial square opposite.

After hearing the contents of the emperor’s speech, Su Qianqian felt that it was ridiculous.

Death Curse?

Seal the city?

As ordinary citizens, the Death Curse was something very distant to Su Qianqian and the others.

“Qianqian!”

The manager and a.s.sistant ran up quickly and held Su Qianqian’s hand. “Hurry up and get in the car. We have to hurry to the harbor to be tested by the military. The longer we delay, the more people will be infected, and the more unsafe it will be!”

With that, the manager put a gas mask on Su Qianqian’s face and pulled her to the car.

Su Qianqian was wearing 12cm high heels, so it was very inconvenient for her to run. She even almost sprained her ankle. She got into the car and had time to fasten her seatbelt before the a.s.sistant stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Su Qianqian pulled the safety handle on the roof of the car and took the opportunity to fasten her seatbelt. Then, she took off her gas mask and asked in disbelief, “Is the city really going to be sealed? Is that Death Curse really that powerful?” Su Qianqian didn’t know how powerful the Death Curse was and only treated it as an ordinary epidemic. She thought that the medical team of the Divine Moon Empire would be able to develop the antidote soon.

“Qianqian, the Death Curse isn’t an ordinary infectious virus.” The manager opened Weibo and showed her the first video of the hot search in the same city. “Look, this is a video posted by a netizen trapped in a maglev train station.”

Su Qianqian took the phone from her agent and stared at the video seriously.

As soon as she saw the ident.i.ty medal of the prince on the shoulder of the man in the video who was holding a gun in one hand and a microphone in the other, she immediately exclaimed, “Heavens, the prince actually came to the Prosperous Capital!”

“That’s right. Now, all the stations, docks, and airports have been sealed. The prince, the princess, and General Mai are personally leading the troops to guard them. They are all fully armed!”

When she heard this, Su Qianqian’s expression instantly became serious.

She finally realized how terrifying the Death Curse was.

Could a Death Curse that could cause the entire Divine Moon Empire to fall within five days be comparable to an ordinary virus?

Su Qianqian thought of something and immediately said, “Go back to my house and pick up my father!”

Su Qianqian was raised by her father. If she wanted to leave, she had to bring her father with her.

The manager said, “It’s too late to go back. I’ve already called Uncle Su and asked him to drive to the docks himself. Did Uncle Su play mahjong all night again last night? When I called, he still seemed to be sleeping.”

Su Qianqian nodded. “He’s retired. He has nothing to do even if he doesn’t play mahjong. I’ll call my father. I’m afraid he might have overslept and didn’t take your call seriously.” Su Qianqian called her father. At the same time, Lu Yubei’s voice sounded on the radio—

“Please follow my instructions and do a self-test as soon as possible. There will be a black blood vessel on the arm of the infected…”

Upon hearing this, the manager subconsciously pulled open the sleeve of his sunscreen, revealing a tanned arm. He saw that his arm didn’t have that d.a.m.n black blood vessel and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness, I didn’t get infected.”

The a.s.sistant also drove with one hand and pulled his arm away with one hand.

“Me neither.”

After Su Qianqian made the call, someone picked up after a long time.

Her father sounded sleepy. “h.e.l.lo! Who is it?!”

“Dad, are you still sleeping?! The Prosperous Capital is about to be sealed. Hurry up and get up and meet me at the docks. Hurry up!”

Hearing his daughter’s voice, Mr. Su immediately woke up. “What? Seal the city?” Previously, he had received a call from Su Qianqian’s manager, who had also said that the city was going to be sealed. However, he was still sleepy and thought that he was dreaming.

Mr. Su quickly lifted the blanket and got up. He looked for his clothes and asked his daughter, “What happened, Qianqian?”

Su Qianqian told Mr. Su about the Death Curse.

Hearing this, Mr. Su didn’t dare to delay any longer. He changed his clothes and ran out. When he got into the car with his car keys, he heard the voice of the mayor, Lu Yubei, on the radio—

“Everyone, please follow my instructions and do a self-test as soon as possible…” Lu Yubei opened the door of the villa and the scorching sun immediately landed on him. He immediately felt a wave of heat.

Mr. Su was wearing a short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt. He glanced at his arm casually and froze when he saw the faint black blood vessel on his arm.

This…

“Qianqian…”

The manager was helping Su Qianqian roll up her sleeves. Su Qianqian also looked down.

Seeing that Su Qianqian’s arm was still fair and slender without any black blood vessels, the manager heaved a sigh of relief.

When Su Qianqian heard her father calling her name, she urged impatiently, “Dad! Hurry up and get in the car! Stop dawdling!”

Mr. Su shouted again, “Qianqian.” He looked at the black line with a complicated gaze and suddenly choked. “Qian Qian, I can’t leave.”

Su Qianqian frowned. “Dad, what are you talking about? Why can’t you leave? Is there a traffic jam?”

Mr. Su sat down on the marble stairs outside the door. He wiped his face and said with a trembling voice, “The mayor said that anyone with a black blood vessel on his arm is infected. There’s a black line on my arm.”

Su Qianqian’s eyes widened.

“Dad…”

Mr. Su leaned against the door and scratched his head in frustration. He started to give Su Qianqian his last words. “Qianqian, listen to me. The entertainment industry isn’t clean and it’s not easy to survive in it. Look at Yu Feng. She used to be much more impressive than you. Later, she quit the entertainment industry just like that. After she stopped being a celebrity, she still thrived in the cultivation world.”

“Listen to me. If you can leave the Prosperous Capital alive this time, you can change your profession in the future. Change to something more relaxing and clean. There will always be more money to earn. Although it’s a good thing to be ambitious, if you’re too ambitious, you might take the wrong path…”
