Chapter 1125 - 593: Because We Are Great Xia

However, he used the beauty treatment produced by Tianxing Medical, making him look under thirty years old, and when standing with his two wives, they wouldn’t be mistaken for father and daughters.

There’s actually not much worth mentioning about how the three came together.

Just like many Azik women who marry Great Xia People, the two women took the initiative to get close to Shao Xinglan after meeting him.

Firstly, the identity of Great Xia People was highly attractive to them.

Secondly, Shao Xinglan had a business in Azik, making him relatively wealthy.

Therefore, Azik women found him more appealing than their country’s wealthy men, as the wealthy aren’t necessarily capable of obtaining Great Xia citizenship.

At this moment.

Shao Xinglan looked at his two wives’ attire, and his mouth twitched hard.

Camilla stepped forward and proactively embraced her husband’s arm: "Darling, what exactly is this disaster?"

Shao Xinglan did not immediately answer: "Let’s go inside first."

The space in the safe house was quite spacious, with a total area of over twenty square meters, making the three of them inside not feel cramped at all.

"Boom!"

The safety door closed shut.

This room was completely isolated from the outside world.

Shao Xinglan exhaled a sigh of relief, then finally answered his wife’s question: "I just saw Great Xia’s new news on disaster relief. The Carmenians are very likely releasing a plague in the southern region of Azik."

The two wives were a bit confused upon hearing.

After all, to modern people, the concept of a plague does sound rather strange.

Shao Xinglan continued: "It’s said that this is not an ordinary plague but a supernatural plague released through blood sacrifice.

"Even if you wear a gas mask and protective clothing, as long as you’ve had contact with a plague infectee, there’s a high probability you’ll catch the plague."

Both women’s faces changed.

Valentina cursed directly: "Damned Carmenians!"

Camilla pursued: "What symptoms will occur if infected with the plague?"

Shao Xinglan paused for a moment before answering: "The symptoms are very frightening. The body of the infected will be covered with pustules, oozing yellow fluid all over. They will feel very painful, but won’t die quickly."

Camilla turned pale upon hearing.

Valentina’s eyes were filled with hope: "Isn’t Great Xia very powerful? Can’t they solve the plague?"

Shao Xinglan shook his head: "This is a supernatural method. Great Xia has never encountered a plague, so I’m not sure if they can resolve it."

Camilla asked with a pale face: "Does that mean a lot of people will die in Biel City?"

Shao Xinglan sighed: "I’m afraid so."

The two women said nothing.

Silence enveloped the safe house.

Shao Xinglan pondered for a moment, then advised: "For the next few days, we’ll just stay in the safe house, don’t go anywhere, understand?"

His two wives nodded repeatedly like little chickens pecking at grains.

Camilla moved towards the corner of the safe house: "I’ll go check the surveillance."

She was very interested in electronic products, used computers and other devices very skillfully, and even worked as a technician in her husband’s small company.

The safe house is essentially an iron box with no windows, but it can observe the outside world through the surveillance system.

Valentina stepped forward to follow: "I’ll take a look too."

Shao Xinglan moved his lips but ultimately did not stop the two women.

Very soon.

The surveillance footage appeared on the big screen.

A total of sixteen cameras were installed in this building, ten of which were indoors, and the remaining six were outside, allowing them to see the scene on the street in front of the door.

"Woo~"

The alarm sounded from the speakers.

The cameras not only captured footage but also integrated audio functions, so the sounds outside could be heard.

Camilla said in a low voice: "The authorities probably received news about the plague from Great Xia and started sounding the alarms."

Not many people were captured by the cameras, but everyone was frantically rushing home.

Cars raced down the road one after another, fortunately the Azik people weren’t wealthy, so there weren’t many vehicles, otherwise, the city would surely end up in traffic jam.

Shao Xinglan glanced at the screen and said: "If we were in Great Xia right now, the sky would be swarming with drones, mechanical dog packs would be everywhere on the ground, and mechanical spiders would be flying around."

The two women nodded together.

They both had seen videos of Great Xia cities resisting natural disasters, and the scenes were quite awe-inspiring.

But such scenes also provided a full sense of security.

Shao Xinglan continued: "A while ago, Great Xia reached an agreement with the Azik Alliance to establish a ’Gulf City’ along the coast of Azik Bay.

"This city will be completely managed by Great Xia in the future, ensuring security. Once the city is built, let’s move our whole family to Gulf City, shall we?"

Valentina agreed repeatedly: "Good, good, we’ll move when the time comes."

Camilla asked a question: "I heard Gulf City will implement an application system, I guess everyone in the Azik Alliance wants to live there. Can we apply for residency?"

Shao Xinglan laughed: "Rest assured, it’s absolutely not a problem!"

He then explained: "I’ve explained to you before, one important goal for Great Xia’s involvement in the Azik War was to control the oil and gas resources of Azik Bay.

"Gulf City will be Great Xia’s core node for controlling Azik Bay’s oil and gas resources in the future. Great Xia will definitely strive to ensure that Gulf City has a certain proportion of Great Xia People.

"I am a pure Great Xia Person and have obtained Azik’s permanent residence, so I’m very familiar with Azik’s situation, making me an ideal resident for Gulf City."

Camilla couldn’t help but sigh: "In the future, Great Xia will certainly control the world’s resources, and Great Xia People will become the wealthiest on Canglan Star."

Shao Xinglan spoke as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, because we are Great Xia!"

Camilla rolled her eyes.

"Smack!"

Valentina, a bit fierce and lacking thought, didn’t say much but gave her husband a firm kiss.

She genuinely believed that marrying a Great Xia Person was fantastic.

Her peers were constantly frightened by disasters, living very tough lives, while she had a Great Xia husband, allowing her to live a life of ease and comfort.

Just then.

Camilla’s gaze suddenly fixed on one segment of the surveillance footage.

It was a camera aimed at the sky.

In the past, no one would set up cameras to monitor the sky.

But times are different now, many burglars can fly and scale walls, making sky monitoring very necessary.

Only to see in the shot, the sky suddenly flare up with a striking blood-red glow.

Camilla glanced at it and exclaimed: "The plague is here!"

As soon as the words left her mouth.

Numerous blood-red meteors, with long tails trailing them, began to fall from the bloody glow.

Valentina cried out in surprise: "Oh my God!"

Camilla was full of tension: "Dear, the meteors won’t land near our house, will they?"

Even a fool knows these meteors are definitely carriers spreading the plague.

Once hit by them, the outcome will definitely be very unfavorable.

Shao Xinglan was smiling earlier, but couldn’t smile anymore: "My luck shouldn’t be that bad."

Valentina made the sign of the cross on her chest: "Oh Lord!"

Two seconds later.

The hearts of the family that had been hanging high finally settled back down.

They were lucky, as though many blood-red meteors fell in the city center, the closest one was still a kilometer away.

Camilla, being a smart woman, quickly noticed one thing: "The area where the red meteors are falling seems to be mostly densely populated residential communities?"

Valentina also realized: "It really does seem so."

Shao Xinglan was filled with relief: "That must be the characteristic of the meteors. Luckily, I didn’t buy a house in the residential district back then."

Years ago, he had a cellphone repair shop in Great Xia and liked houses with "business below and living above", so when he came to the Azik Alliance, he bought this property.

Unexpectedly, this preference saved his whole family’s lives.
