Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

Chapter 495: Maintaining stability is more important than anything else

"Stop!" Liu Tianci suddenly shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the quiet rooftop, scaring those people.

"I understand what you mean by seeking refuge." Liu Tianci's tone softened a little, but still contained a hint of dissatisfaction.

"But there's no sign saying 'shelter or hotel' outside my house! Why did you come to my house to seek refuge?"

Liu Tianci certainly knew about the news about the sudden change in the environment. He had indeed seen related reports before.

However, he did not consider this to be a valid reason for these people to trespass on his place.

"This is not a war," Liu Tianci continued, "I think when you leave, there shouldn't be anyone behind you pointing a gun at you, right?

So you must have money. A hotel or a motel, or even just renting a house nearby, would be better than coming to my place, right? What's going on here?"

Liu Tianci became more and more excited as he spoke. He felt that these people's behavior was really too much. He stared at them and said bluntly: "I'll give you 10 minutes to clean up this place!

Then you can go wherever you want. I don’t want to see you on my rooftop without my consent again! If I find you again next time, I won’t be so easy on you! "

"We really just arrived in Dongdu tonight!" The person who spoke had an anxious look on his face, and a hint of panic in his voice.

“Because we arrived so late, all the hostels and hotels were fully occupied by people who came earlier!

We were a stranger in the place and just wanted to find a place to have a good rest. We really just used the things you left outside and didn't touch anything else!

We are just disaster victims, not robbers!"

His eyes kept wandering over the gun. He seemed to be filled with fear of the gun, fearing that he would accidentally anger the man in front of him, causing him to raise his hand and shoot without hesitation.

"If you were robbers, do you think I would point my gun towards the sky?" Liu Tianci looked at the people in front of him, feeling a little helpless.

Of course he knew that these people were not robbers, but in this chaotic time, no one dared to trust others easily.

He slowly put the gun back into the weapon box, then waved his hand, indicating that these people should not be too nervous.

He didn't have the heart to argue with these people right now. As long as they packed up their things and left his house safely, he would have shown the greatest kindness.

After all, he could be more tolerant towards these displaced people, but he absolutely could not give up his home for them to live in.

"Is your situation so bad that you have to leave?" Liu Tianci looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a serious face and asked slowly.

He raised his hand and rejected the cigarette handed to him without hesitation, as if he had no interest in it at all.

Scenes from news reports kept flashing in Liu Tianci’s mind—the number of residents in the environmental mutation zone was as high as nearly 30!

This is not a small number. If all these people are forced to leave their homes, the entire Anqing Prefecture will probably fall into chaos.

What's worse is that if the affected area expands further, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Let me put it this way. I would rather freeze to death here than stay there any longer! It would be a double torture to my mind and body!"

Thinking of the terrible situation at his hometown two days ago, the middle-aged man couldn't help but tremble all over, as if he had experienced that horrible time again.

Thinking back to the past few nights, every time he fell asleep, he would be shrouded in a deep panic.

The feeling was like suddenly stepping on empty air while sleeping, but it was magnified countless times and was simply unbearable.

Not only that, he also had constant nightmares, in which strange lights always appeared, making him feel confused and frightened.

What made him feel even more terrified was that he vaguely felt that something was slowly approaching him, as if there was a monster lurking outside his door.

Even under the bed and on the ceiling, it just watched him quietly, waiting for the right opportunity, and then pounced down and devoured him until not even a bone was left!

As the middle-aged man spoke, he covered his head tightly with both hands, as if he was suffering from some severe pain there.

His body was trembling slightly and his mental state was obviously a little abnormal, which made people wonder whether he had experienced something extremely terrible and unbearable.

Liu Tianci stood aside and watched the scene quietly. He did not show panic or fear like others, but remained silent.

In fact, what he had experienced was far more terrifying than what the middle-aged man described. Those strange creatures and supernatural phenomena he had encountered were simply commonplace to him.

However, Liu Tianci did not despise the experience of middle-aged people. On the contrary, he silently kept this special phenomenon in mind, thinking that perhaps these details would come in handy when he was writing novels in the future.

The middle-aged man noticed the fearless expression on Liu Tianci's face and mistakenly thought that he did not believe what he said.

He sighed helplessly, as if a little disappointed with Liu Tianci's indifference, then turned around and followed the people around him to pack up his things.

At this moment, Liu Tianci suddenly stopped them from trying to extinguish the charcoal stove. He told everyone that he still needed the charcoal stove.

After saying that, he walked towards his house. After a few steps, he stopped and turned on the Order watch on his wrist.

The numbers on the watch screen kept jumping: "San value 65, San value 68, San value 57..."

Liu Tianci stared at the sanity data displayed on the screen, and a chill surged in his heart. These data clearly showed that the sanity values ​​of these people were generally low, far below the normal level.

"Sure enough, this isn't an ordinary environmental change..." He muttered to himself, frowning tightly.

Liu Tianci was not surprised by this situation because he had been paying attention to the news about areas with environmental changes recently and found some abnormalities.

He sighed softly and turned off the Order Watch.

During this period of time, He Hua spent a lot of time every day helping him collect news about areas with environmental changes, trying to find some clues or patterns.

However, as time went on, he found that the amount of information in this area was getting less and less.

This is not because the situation has improved. On the contrary, Liu Tianci knows very well that the current situation may have become so bad that the government must suppress the information.

After all, too much negative news may cause panic and anxiety among the public and have a serious impact on social order.
