The beast tide is coming! Everyone's mobilized! That lazy bum actually sat up!
This question, filled with impatience.
Like the whisper of the Grim Reaper, it echoed across the deathly silent lawn.
Su Li's body froze in place.
On her stunningly beautiful face, all color drained away, leaving her deathly pale.
She opened her mouth, wanting to retort, wanting to scold...
Wanting to maintain the last shred of her dignity as an instructor.
However.
When her gaze met those lazy eyes that seemed to contain a starry sky once again.
All her words were tightly choked in her throat by a Fear stemming from the depths of her Soul.
She couldn't say a single word!
The entire Tianshu Base remained shrouded in that invisible pressure.
Time seemed to have completely frozen at this moment!
However!
Just as this suffocating silence was about to drive everyone mad!
Beep—beep—beep—!!!
A siren, sharp enough to pierce the eardrums, resounded through the entire Tianshu Base without warning!
The bright red warning lights flashed frantically in every corner of the base!
In an instant.
Everyone's face was illuminated with an ominous, blood-red hue.
Immediately after.
A hurried, distorted command came over the broadcast.
"Emergency alert! Emergency alert!"
"West of the Kunlun Mountains, Wilderness Area No. 7, a large-scale beast riot has been detected!"
"Preliminary estimates indicate the number exceeds one hundred thousand! Some vanguard forces have already broken through the third outer defense line!"
"Repeat! This is not a drill!"
"All combat personnel, immediately! At once! Assemble at Plaza No. 1! Prepare to execute an A-level defense mission!"
Boom—!!!
This command was like a thunderclap!
Instantly waking everyone who was still immersed in Fear and shock!
Beast riot!
The number exceeds one hundred thousand!
The terrifying meaning represented by these words caused everyone present to shrink their pupils!
The next second!
There was no need for any extra orders at all!
"Clatter—!!!"
On the training ground, those students who, a second ago, were pressed to their knees and paralyzed like mud by Lin Yuan's pressure!
Upon hearing the alarm, it was as if they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline!
One by one, they struggled and crawled up from the ground in a nearly savage manner!
The pallor and cold sweat on their faces caused by Fear had not yet faded.
But their eyes changed in an instant!
That was the gaze of a warrior, one who disregarded life and death, leaving only iron and blood!
"Hurry! Go to the armory!"
"A-level defense mission! Everyone, fully armed!"
"Medical team! Check everyone's status! Hurry!"
Roars rose and fell one after another.
They didn't even cast another glance at Lin Yuan on the lawn.
It was as if the boy who had just brought them endless Fear and humiliation no longer existed!
In the face of a crisis of racial survival!
Personal emotions, personal honor and disgrace, were so insignificant!
Dragging their still-weak bodies, they rushed toward the armory at their fastest speed!
Their movements were uniform!
There was not a shred of panic!
This is the meaning of Tianshu Base's existence!
Meanwhile.
The instructors in the Command Center had also long since regained their composure.
The bald instructor slammed his fist on the console and roared: "Damn it! These beasts, they don't come early or late, they just have to come at this time!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Immediately activate the base's highest-level defensive formation!"
"Notify the logistics department to bring out all the hidden weapons!"
"I'm going to Plaza No. 1 to organize the troops!"
One by one, with solemn expressions, they issued orders methodically.
As for Su Li.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and Fear of Lin Yuan in her heart to the deepest part of her Soul.
She adjusted her tight-fitting combat suit.
Her ice-berg-like beautiful face once again regained the coldness and determination that belonged to an ace instructor.
Now was not the time to think about those things.
Her task now was to lead these warriors to resist the beast tide that could devour everything!
With this thought in mind.
Su Li immediately turned around, strode out with her long legs, and walked quickly toward Plaza No. 1.
However.
When passing by Lin Yuan.
Her footsteps still uncontrollably paused for a moment.
She didn't look back.
She just spoke in a tone that was still cold, but mixed with a hint of complex emotion: "This place will soon become a battlefield; it's not a place for someone like you to lie flat."
She hesitated for a moment.
Seeming to be organizing her words.
Finally, she squeezed a few words through her teeth.
"Either find a safe place to hide."
"Or..."
"Don't get in the way."
After speaking.
She stopped lingering, her figure flashed, and she disappeared at the end of the lawn.
That back view carried an indomitable determination.
As if she had already prepared to be buried on the battlefield.
The entire Tianshu Base had completely mobilized in these short tens of seconds!
Turning into a high-speed, war machine!
The roar of engines, the roars of warriors, the metallic clatter of weapons loading...
Interwoven into a pre-war symphony of iron and blood!
However.
Amidst this hustle and murderous atmosphere.
Lin Yuan in the center of the lawn still maintained that detached, indifferent appearance.
He even frowned, extremely displeased.
"Tsk, it's really too noisy."
"Can't a person even rest properly?"
...
He muttered.
He had no interest in the so-called hundred-thousand beast tide.
Let alone one hundred thousand, even if it were one million or ten million, it had nothing to do with him.
He just wanted to lie flat.
However.
Just as he was preparing to ignore all this and continue his nap.
A sealed memory, like a tide, surged up from the depths of his mind!
That was the plot belonging to the original novel.
West of the Kunlun Mountains, Wilderness Area No. 7, a hundred-thousand beast riot...
This was not an ordinary beast tide!
This was...
The precursor to the birth of the Void-Splitting Beast King!
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He remembered very clearly.
In the original novel, this beast tide was just the beginning.
The real big deal was that Void-Splitting Beast King that was about to reach adulthood!
That was a space-type beast with terrifying talent!
Once it reached adulthood, it would possess the ability to forcibly tear through spatial barriers!
By then, it would directly tear open a huge spatial rift connecting Dragon Xia Kingdom and Oulu Continent!
And that rift would cause the space throughout the entire Kunlun Mountains and even within a radius of thousands of kilometers to become extremely unstable!
The most direct consequence was...
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this area would dissipate and be lost on a large scale due to the spatial chaos!
Even places like Tianshu Base, protected by great formations, would not be spared!
Thinking of this.
Lin Yuan's expression finally changed.
It became somewhat ugly.
Spiritual Qi loss?
How could that be allowed?!
This place was his carefully selected, most Spiritual Qi-rich, excellent "Holy Land for lying flat"!
"Damn it."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
The next second.
Under the astonished gaze of countless soldiers in the distance.
That salted-fish boy who had been lying on the ground since he arrived at Tianshu Base, as if he had grown into the ground.
Finally, he slowly turned over.
Then, he stood up.
He stretched and patted the grass clippings off his body.
That leisurely posture was completely out of place with the extremely tense battlefield atmosphere around him.
"Forget it."
Lin Yuan stood up and glanced toward Plaza No. 1.
A playful arc curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Just right, idle is idle."
"Might as well go and see what the excitement is about."
"Lest in the future, I don't even have a place to sleep comfortably."
