Gou'er's figure suddenly swayed, and he collapsed on the ground. Xia Zhang, seeing this, hurried over to try to help him up.
When he grasped the other person's body, he found that not only sweat was seeping out of his hands, but also blood and grease.
"Xia... save... my mother," Gou'er's eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Xia Zhang, his mouth opening and closing, while Xia Zhang could only vaguely make out a few words.
In the next instant, all the houses were set alight, and people struggling to escape came running out.
Their faces reddened as if the intense heat was baking them to the point where they could no longer breathe.
Some were dehydrated from running, eventually shrinking into mummified corpses that heavily fell to the ground; others, too obese, ignited their own body fat while trying to flee, turning into giant fireballs, spreading the familiar yet horrifying scent of roasted meat similar to when Xia Zhang cooked game.
