"Hurry up! We received the latest update from the surveillance! The demons are already one kiloter away. Hurry, get into the pre-planned formation that we discussed. Each of you has your own role!!" Commander Zenith solemnly commanded.
The soldiers and the students of No.3 High School quickly scurried to their pre-designated place. The soldiers did it in an orderly, practiced manner while the students appeared chaotic.
Well, why wouldn't they? The Demon Tide was only one kiloter away. It was their first ti fighting such a large-scale battle. Not to ntion a tide of demon beasts. They weren't soldiers who faced demon beasts all year round. They're just students... However, everyone knew that they needed to participate in the battle since the fate of the city, their ho, and their families were behind them.
There's just no way. Aside from them and the soldiers sent by the governnt. The civilians couldn't fight demon beasts, right? The police, on the other hand, had their role to play. To keep an order to the city behind them. Ordinary pistols won't also cut it.
Although they're just student. They are students specially prepared to beco a genetic warrior in the future. Trained to fight beasts and learned a different set of skills. The efforts their families put to them to groom them are just for this. To defend their hos against the onslaught of damned beasts! Furthermore, they are still far stronger than ordinary people due to the existence of genetic energy in their bodies! Yes, they haven't broken through their 1st genetic lock yet. But their physical bodies were enhanced by the genetic energy.
"Damn it! My foot! Stupid Albert, watch where you step in! It's not the ti to panic, you know?"
"Hey, Fatty, you're in the wrong position. I know that you want to be beside your buddy Adam all the ti. But your position is near mine this ti." Shawn looked at Fatty, who was behind Adam and reminded him.
Fatty shrugged. "Don't fret about it. I've already negotiated with Xin and swapped places with him. He's your friend, right? Don't you want to be fighting side by side with him?"
Shawn nodded. "Fair enough..." Then he saw Xin walk in the empty position beside him.
The two grinned at each other.
"Where the heck did Kevin get assigned? I can't see the bastard."
Shawn couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Xin shook his head in response and also answered quietly.
"I also don't know. But Fatty must know a thing or two."
'True. Bastard Fatty almost knows everything that's going on when it cos to these kinds of matters.' As Shawn was about to go ask Fatty, he saw Adam looking at him. Adam raised his hand and propped up his four fingers. Find more chapters on empire
"What do you an by that?"
Caleb chuckled. "Kevin is on the 5th line of defense. We're in the 8th line. So you naturally won't see him."
How the hell did you hear what we're talking about!?
Shawn stared at Adam with astonishnt. His conversation with Xin was almost them whispering. Not to ntion, Adam was six or seven ters away. How the hell did he know the contents of their talk!?
Still, it's not the ti for that. He looks at the backs of his classmates in front of him, which were supposed to be the 7th line of defense. If What Adam said was right. His friend, Kevin, should be three lines further in their current position.
On the other hand, i curiously asked. "Adam, how did you know Kevin's position?"
'Because my perception could cover everyone here.'
Caleb wants to answer. However, that's not in line with his low-key way.
"Well, I overheard it...." He bullshitted.
Hearing such an answer, the corner of i's lips twitched. Who would believe that? She was beside Adam the entire ti and she knows that Adam didn't actually seem to give a damn about what was happening. It was also this thing that made her look up at Adam.
She didn't know why. She feels that Adam has changed. In the past, Adam was introverted and was very self-aware and smart. Now, she could see subtly a sense of confidence with his every gesture. She doesn't know where the source of his confidence cos from. Adam doesn't give him the aura of arrogance or aloofness. No, nothing like that. It's more like a sense of peace, and a strong self-belief that he could tackle every challenge that cos on his way.
'He has just that aura...' i sighed as he looked at Adam. 'Just what did he experience after all these months? What changed him?'
"Why the hell are you looking at like that? Could it be you have a crush on ?" Caleb teased, which made i roll her eyes and smirked: "Well, what if I say yes?"
Caleb was stunned and then grinned. "You actually know how to go with the flow... Unlike other girls..."
On the other hand, Fatty couldn't help but roll his eyes as he could sll the dog food in the air. "Damn it! Why are you guys flirting!?"
"We're flirting?" i blinked innocently.
Caleb shrugged.
BEEP! BEEP!
Suddenly, an intense beeping sound resounded throughout the border. The soldiers stood up straight and had their eyes fixed ahead. The students were confused, so they followed where the soldiers sighted.
i, Fatty, and Caleb beca serious. Thousand of small dots appeared one after another, raging, moving forward to them like a tide.
"Alert! The beast tide has co! Based on the readings just now. There are a thousand of Sprout demon beasts in the first wave ahead!"
Commander Zhuge's voice was transmitted to every ear of soldiers and students alike. He was at the front line or the 1st line of defense, yet his voice managed to reach every corner thanks to the genetic energy he infused on his voice.
Shawn and Xin clenched the weapons in their hand. They don't know if they will be able to co out alive. Fortunately, they are at the last line of defense and there are thousands of Awakening Realm soldiers and two extraordinary genetic warriors in front of them.
Caleb looked at his nervous classmate with a smile. Even Zhou, who was arrogant, was currently anxious. He could feel it with his perception.
