Chapter 354: Panic Spreads
“Dawn City’s walls need to be reinforced and raised to deal with any potential crises in the future! The appearance of even more powerful Snow Beasts ans that the ice field will beco increasingly dangerous and unpredictable!”
Alex pondered silently.
After seeing the Anchor nad Russell being killed, Alex quickly thought of many things.
Previously, Alex had considered strengthening the city walls, but there was no sense of urgency.
Now, the situation was entirely different.
Reinforcing and raising the walls had beco imperative!
With this thought in mind, Alex planned to arrange for the necessary asures to be taken.
Of course, the specific implentation plan would be handled by Nathan or Jose.
His role would be to oversee the overall coordination.
…
Soon after the news of Russell’s death spread rapidly, more and more people beca aware that giant Snow Beasts had appeared in the world.
These beasts were far stronger than ordinary Snow Beasts.
At the sa ti, more people ca forward to share their experiences with Snow Beasts.
Observant individuals noticed that recently, Snow Beasts seed to be more active, with their activity zones drawing closer to human cities.
Moreover, their presence was being detected more frequently.
All these pieces of information pointed to one significant fact.
That is, the number of Snow Beasts was increasing.
And they were getting closer to the cities where humans lived!
“I have a feeling that it won’t be long before the Snow Beasts truly approach the city. When that ti cos, we will definitely have to face them in battle!”
“Indeed, once that happens, we might face an attack from the Snow Beasts!”
“This could be the challenge we’ll face in the future. We have no choice but to quickly strengthen our own power and reinforce our city defenses and equipnt.”
“I just hope that day cos later, because we haven’t yet reached the city and still need so ti.”
“Yeah, with the increasing number of Snow Beasts, the greatest threat falls on those survivors without cities. Not only do they endure the cold, but if Snow Beasts attack, their defenses are inadequate, and they’ll be left to wait for death!”
The crowd engaged in heated discussion.
Everyone realized that the growing number of Snow Beasts could lead to very serious consequences.
Gradually, a tense atmosphere began to spread among all survivors.
This tension stemd mainly from unease.
And this unease was primarily caused by the increase in Snow Beasts and the appearance of giant Snow Beasts.
Eventually, the giant Snow Beasts were referred to as Commander-level Snow Beasts.
Commander-level Snow Beasts were not only much larger than ordinary Snow Beasts but could also command packs of Snow Beasts to so extent.
Danger was approaching!
More and more survivors left their Noah’s Arks to head towards nearby cities.
Making this decision required great resolve.
Leaving their ho Noah’s Ark ant facing endless blizzards, a difficult journey, and unknown dangers.
Moreover, the final outco would still be living under the protection of others.
Making this decision required not only the determination of the leaders but also the resolve of all survivors.
They knew well that if they didn’t find a city for refuge in ti, they might soon be buried in the ice field.
The outco would be either freezing to death or becoming food for the Snow Beasts.
…
Another day passed.
The heavy snow briefly stopped.
Even the howling, bone-chilling winds had ceased.
It was a good ti to set out.
Keith, the leader of the Vanguard Alliance, made a decisive decision to depart imdiately.
“Which city is the closest to us?”
Keith asked his subordinate.
The subordinate checked the map and responded, “Sir, the closest city is Phoenix City. However, Dawn City isn’t too far from us either.”
“Dawn City, that na sounds familiar!”
Keith’s eyebrows twitched.
“It’s Alex’s city!”
“Alex?!”
Keith’s expression changed.
“So it’s a city built by Alex. No wonder it sounded familiar! Since it’s Alex’s, we don’t need to go to Phoenix City. Let’s go directly to Dawn City instead.”
Upon hearing this, the subordinate hesitated for a mont.
Then he said, “Sir, Dawn City is Alex’s! Are you sure about this?”
“It’s well-known that Alex is notoriously ruthless. Not long ago, he almost wiped out the high-ranking officials of the three major alliances that joined Dawn City! If we go to Dawn City, it might be a very dangerous move!”
The subordinate’s concerns were not without reason.
They had already heard many things about Dawn City.
It was said that Alex had not only stripped all the leaders and controllers of their power but had also slaughtered them all in one fell swoop.
These rumors had spread widely.
Combined with Alex’s previous deeds, the credibility of these stories was quite high.
Therefore, the subordinate was concerned that if Keith went to Dawn City, he might be treated unfairly and eventually killed by Alex on so pretext.
However, Keith seed unconcerned.
“Dawn City, built by Alex, is certainly the most fortified and powerful city in the world. Staying there will be absolutely safe!”
“No matter what, we need to get into Dawn City because it’s the safest place!”
“Even if a crisis does erupt later, Dawn City will remain secure.”
“As for Alex targeting or finding a reason to kill … setting aside whether Alex would do such a thing, even if he would, so what? As long as I don’t make mistakes, I should be fine!”
“Besides, I’ve had interactions with Alex before, back in the East 8 Zone.”
“Although he might not rember , as I was just an insignificant person at that ti, I know his character, so I trust him.”
He had once been an ardent fan of Alex.
Even though he now held a high position, he still regarded Alex as his idol and a goal to chase.
“Sir, you should reconsider…”
The subordinate’s lips moved as if wanting to say more.
Keith, however, furrowed his brow and said, “No more discussion. My decision is made. Follow my orders!”
Seeing Keith’s resoluteness, the subordinate dared not argue further.
“Understood!”
Soon, the team set out.
They planned to take advantage of the improving weather to reach Dawn City as quickly as possible.
