Su Yu gazed intently towards the city gate.
He didn’t know why, but after listening to a few words from Li Ping, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
It felt as though sothing extraordinary was about to happen?
"Chairman?"
"Chairman?"
Several C-level Awakened behind him softly called out once.
The person had already left, what was there to look at.
Moreover, that guy was famously ill-tempered, they couldn’t wait for him to leave quickly.
"Hmm, let’s go back first."
Su Yu turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, then walked straight towards the elevator.
When the elevator doors closed, the Awakened in the entire hall collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Two chairn-level figures along with three or four C-level Awakened were present; they were so scared that they didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
However, recalling the scene just now, it felt like a dream to them.
The newcor nad Gu Ze could actually get a chairman to personally co and pick him up.
What virtue and ability!
Many people regretted it in their hearts.
If they had known it would be like this, they would have spent those precious few days building a good relationship with the newcor.
As the saying goes, more friends an more paths.
If they couldn’t make it here in the future, they could still go to the Anshan City Awakened Association. Given Gu Ze’s relationship with the chairman, taking care of them would be easy.
Thinking of this, many people looked at the mbers of the Crescent Squad with envy.
Among those who built a good relationship with Gu Ze during this ti, there was no one else besides the Crescent Squad.
"Brother Jin, we really envy you guys."
Soone nearby said, "When Gu Ze left just now, he even specially greeted you and said he would always rember your help."
"Yes, if you encounter trouble in the future and contact him, he definitely won’t refuse."
"Even if he can’t help much, that Chairman Li behind him wouldn’t sit idly by."
"Yes, yes."
Many people echoed, their envy and jealousy evident.
"Oh, it’s just a small effort."
Jin Quan waved his hand repeatedly.
At that ti, he didn’t overthink it; he just thought of helping a newcor with a similar body enhancent type, who he related to and could help if possible.
If Gu Ze grew stronger in the future, it would only make the Crescent Squad stronger, right?
But who would have thought he had a significant background, much stronger than their D-level Awakener status.
Gu Ze going to the Anshan City Awakened Association, directly under the chairman’s cultivation, was far better than hunting outside with them.
He would be lying if he said he didn’t envy him.
But really, he didn’t expect any repaynt or anything.
However, the other mbers of the squad didn’t think the sa.
Especially the two n, one red-haired and the other tall and thin, looked remorseful and guilty.
Had they known, they wouldn’t have said anything disdainful about the guy, at least not in his presence while out in the wild.
The only relief was that their captain had been kind and said he would personally take him to hunt Mid-level Fierce Beasts tomorrow.
If sothing unfortunate happened in the future and they needed help, the other party would likely not refuse considering the captain’s attitude.
However.
They recalled what Chairman Li said before he left, and their expressions changed.
Was there going to be another Beast Tide soon?
Really?
The last Beast Tide was two years ago, right?
That ti, Wang City almost fell; many Awakened died, like the squad the captain was previously with, everyone except the chairman perished under the claws of Fierce Beasts.
If it happens again...
They dared not think further.
At the sa ti, in the chairman’s office.
Several C-level Awakened looked at Su Yu sitting in the boss’s chair with a solemn expression, eyes filled with confusion.
"Chairman, hasn’t that guy nad Li already left?"
"Yes, to get rid of him, Chairman, you even gave Gu two thousand points; it wasn’t necessary. Two thousand points isn’t a lot but it’s not little either."
"As long as we could get rid of that plague, it would be worth it, even if it were four or five thousand points."
"That’s true."
Others nodded in agreent.
They were genuinely afraid that Li Ping would suddenly say he was here to challenge them.
That would be awkward.
If they accepted, they might not be able to win, losing both points and face.
If they didn’t accept, with so many people watching, refusing wasn’t an option.
"Chairman, why aren’t you saying anything?"
Soone asked.
Since returning, the chairman had been preoccupied.
Li Ping leaving should be a cause for joy, right?
"I’m thinking about sothing."
Su Yu lay back in his chair, frowning.
"Thinking about sothing?"
"What is it?"
"Do you all rember what Li Ping said before he left?"
"What he said before leaving?"
"What words?"
Two people looked at each other in confusion.
One person on the far right suddenly widened his eyes, "I rember, he said he had reliable information that a Beast Tide would break out again soon, and warned you to prepare."
"What! Another Beast Tide?"
"Beast Tide!"
In an instant, the joyful atmosphere in the room disappeared.
A sense of fear spread.
Beast Tide, they could never forget the scene of Fierce Beasts swarming from all directions, blocking out the sky, sotis even erging from underground, catching the city’s people off guard!!!
"Chairman, do you think what Li Ping said is true?"
"Impossible, right? He’s not a Fierce Beast, how could he know when a Beast Tide would break out?"
"Exactly, Chairman, I think Li Ping was just being mysterious, saying so scary stuff, don’t take it to heart."
"No."
Su Yu shook his head, "Do you all rember when the last Beast Tide broke out?"
"Of course."
A C-level Awakened responded without hesitation, "Two years ago? I wasn’t even a C-level Awakened then."
"Right, I rember it was two years ago too. The situation was critical, if not for a B-level Awakened from nearby Frost City, Wang City would have fallen."
"Yes, so does anyone rember when the Beast Tide before that broke out?" Su Yu continued.
"The one before?"
They looked at each other.
So of them only arrived in Wang City in the past two or three years.
"If I rember correctly, it should be four or five years ago."
An older-looking Awakened thought, "At that ti, I wasn’t even a D-level Awakened, I could barely use superpowers. After the Beast Tide broke out, many of my friends died, and I survived by luck."
"Yes, four or five years ago. Does anyone know when the Beast Tide before that broke out?" Su Yu asked again.
At this, they all fell silent.
Before that?
When was that, they couldn’t even rember where they were then.
At this mont, soone’s eyes revealed a flash of shock and they blurted out, "Chairman, do you an seven or eight years ago?"
"What! Seven or eight years ago?"
"This?"
The others were stunned, a chilling sensation creeping up their backs.
"Yes, seven or eight years ago."
Su Yu’s expression was extrely grave, "Including the great upheaval ten years ago, there have been four Beast Tides, each about two years apart,
The first was the largest, wiping out seventy percent of Yan Country’s population. The subsequent three Beast Tides were much smaller, with no Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts appearing,
Even so, after four Beast Tides, our country’s survivors have dwindled from fifty billion to less than one billion. If this pattern continues, the fifth Beast Tide should indeed be happening."
"!!!"
They heard this, their minds buzzing.
Instinctively, they wanted to reject this possibility.
Beast Tide!
No matter the scale, it was a Beast Tide! This small city couldn’t possibly withstand it.
But logic told them this was an objective pattern based on past Beast Tides, beyond anyone’s control.
The first broke out ten years ago, then every two to three years subsequently, the second, third, fourth, each ti.
Would the fifth break this pattern?
Would it?
Probably not...
"Chairman Li also said sothing before he left that you may have forgotten."
"Chairman, what else did Chairman Li say?" they asked eagerly, their tone more respectful of Li Ping.
Su Yu spoke with difficulty, "He said this Beast Tide might exceed everyone’s expectations."
The room fell silent again.
They stared, minds blank.
This ti’s scale exceeding everyone’s expectations, what did that an?
Was it a repeat of ten years ago?
This, how could it be!
"Cha-chairman," soone stamred, "Isn’t this a bit sensational? Chairman Li might be overthinking it?"
"Yes, Chairman."
"Chairman, maybe we should call Chairman Li and ask?"
Su Yu nodded, "We should ask, but not now. Chairman Li reminded us probably because we gave his brother two thousand points,
If we keep asking now, it would be inappropriate. I’ll find a chance to ask later, but we should indeed make preparations, at least send our families to nearby dium or large cities."
"Hmm."
They all agreed.
Indeed, if a Beast Tide broke out, escaping themselves wouldn’t be hard, but their families couldn’t.
You should be prepared for anything.
