Chapter 925: Evacuation (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The big guy quickly fell to the ground.
And then… there was no ‘and then1.
What ended its life were a few wind spikes from Qiong Qi.
The sharp transparent wind spikes pierced through the beast1 s abdomen.
There were a few bloody pits on the ground.
Blackie cursed as he took out the crystal core from this thing s stomach.
Gu Zheng, who had just run out of the dojo, witnessed this battle with his own eyes. To be honest, there was a huge disparity in strength.
However, at first, he felt that the thing that came out of the ground was a little too powerful.
He thought that even if Dojo Master Lin’s beasts came back, it would be a bitter battle.
But no one expected it to be like this.
There was indeed a huge disparity in strength.
However, it was the mutated beast which was far inferior to these three beasts.
The problem was that it was a Level 8 mutated beast!
It was done so easily in just a few minutes. Gu Zheng, who had seen this scene with his own eyes, was a little, no, quite shocked.
However, he remembered that he had heard that these beasts could even kill Level 9 beasts. It was more reasonable to lull a Level 8 beast now.
However, the situation in Iron Rock City was still not optimistic.
After the three Advanced beasts in front came back to help, a hole appeared in the crack in front.
Although the beasts of those mercenaries were also resisting, they were the kind of beasts that were forced to force someone to put a square peg into a round hole. Their strength was barely enough, and their cooperation was also barely enough.
Therefore, they could only retreat continuously. Their positions were also pushed into the city by the mutated beasts time and time again.
“Fall back!”
After the death of the previous supreme commander, Gu Zheng also began to personally participate in rhe micro-exercise.
Fortunately, he was not the kind of person who would test the waters when he parachuted into such a high position. Instead, he was really thinking for the sake of these soldiers.
Moreover, the civilians behind were the last batch, so it was not a problem to retreat the defense line to the Beast Taming Dojo.
When the panicked soldiers saw that the big shot had asked them to retreat, many of them looked like they had survived a calamity.
Although there were still many mutated beasts behind them, at least this lord did not really want them to use their lives to forcefully fill in the gap.
It was not only these soldiers. The mercenaries who were commanding the beasts in front also began to retreat.
Of course, those tamed beasts did not retreat.
After all, they really needed a defense line to delay those mutated beasts so that everyone could retreat to the mirror space.
As for beasts that could be resurrected, they were naturally the best options.
Of course, the “pension” would also be a considerable expense.
However, it was still alright for the wealthy Central Province.
Moreover, with the current situation, it was uncertain if the money could continue to be used as money in the future.
They might as well send it out now.
Using the credit system while it had yet to collapse for more people to survive was a good move.
As the soldiers of the army retreated one after another, the crack in the city wall that had lasted for more than half a day was finally made by the big fellows outside.
This allowed most high-level mutated beasts to enter calmly.
Looking at the ferocious mutated beasts that were getting closer and closer, many soldiers who had retreated into the mirror space but had yet to get their tamed beasts in turned pale with fear.
“I.. I… Aren t we going to hide?”
“Mom…”
“What should we do? What should we do?! They’re coming!”
“Should we run?”
“Where can you run to? Moreover, aren’t those two adults from the Central Province here too?”
“But they’re inside! We re outside!”
“And there’s a spatial door inside…”
“Coming, coming!”
“Don’t push, don’t push!”
Under the terrified gazes of the mercenaries who thought that they were doomed, those terrifying mutated beasts seemed to only exist in another world. They passed through their bodies just like that?!
This… What was going on?
“Just like that?”
“We re not dead?!11
“Look, these mutated beasts have passed through the dojo in front!”
This strange scene left the soldiers speechless.
Many people could only open their mouths and move unconsciously.
Some superstitious people even knelt down in front of the dojo and kowtowed, muttering something.
If it was in the past, Lin Ye would have tried to persuade him.
But now, he couldn’t care less.
In such an environment where one could die at any time, it was not bad for people who were like rootless duckweed to believe in something. At least, they would have support in their hearts.
Looking at the apocalyptic scene outside the mirror space, Lin Ye was indeed shocked by the first time she saw the beast tide completely enter the human town and begin to attack and destroy indiscriminately.
Previously, during the beast tide in Jiangzhou City, mutated beasts had also entered the city.
However, at that time, there were quite a lot of resistance forces in the city, so those mutated beasts also came to destroy the living forces first.
But it was different now.
Without smelling any meat, they directly treated the entire city as a place to vent their anger.
Whether it was tall buildings or shacks, they would all be ruthlessly crushed.
Some high-level beasts with a certain level of detection would stop at certain places. Then, after sensing something, they would shout and call for something that could dig the ground.
Then… a man who thought that he could escape death by hiding in his cellar was brought out and dismembered.
In fact, because the corpse was too small, the mutated beasts that had been cooperating just now were now fighting among themselves.
Of course, this scene also made rhe soldiers and residents who had yer to leave the dojo feel a chill in their hearts.
This… If they were still outside, their outcome would definitely be the same…
“How many were evacuated? Did you count them?”
Gu Zheng’s secretary looked at the mayor awkwardly.
“There’s no exact figure, but it’s estimated to be between 100,000 and 150,000.”
“Why is it so little?”
When Gu Zheng heard this number, he frowned.
It was true that Iron Rock City was very remote, bur there were still hundreds of thousands of people.
in the end, not even half of the people evacuated from here?
One had to know that they had started this morning.
The sun was already setting.
Although it took time to extract the beasts, Dojo Master Lin had produced a lot of Beast Taming Machines later on. It could be said that he was going all out.
If not for rhe fact that the dojo could not accommodate so many people, there might have been even more.
The secretary looked at the dissatisfied mayor and smiled bitterly.
“When we went to get them to evacuate, many people were unwilling to leave.”
“Or rather, even if they wanted to leave, they wanted to go through the spatial door. Even if there are tens of thousands of people there, they still think it’s better to go through there.”
Gu Zheng rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He understood those people’s choices.
“Then how many people have been evacuated over there?”
The secretary’s bitter smile deepened.
“As you know, although the spatial door can send people in all the time, it can only teleport so many people at once.”
“What’s more, there are still some existences who are prepared to fish in troubled waters without paying crystal cores. This makes the efficiency even lower…”
“Tell me the result.”
Tin afraid that there are still tens of thousands of people in that square.”
Hearing this number, Gu Zheng felt his head hurt.
If those damned fellows hadn’t run away and stayed behind to maintain order, there would definitely be a lor more people evacuating.
After all, most of the time, the more crowded it was, the lower the efficiency.
However, he could not expect the people whose lives were in danger to remain calm at this time.
The role of an authoritative official would be useful at this stage.
However, it was a pity that those authorities in Iron Rock City had run.
They just threw everyone behind.
Lin Ye was also surprised by this number.
He thought that the spatial gateway would be much faster than rhe dojo.
After all, there was no need to draw beasts to delay it.
But it seemed like he was thinking too much…
