317: The beast tide is coming!
In the lavish KTV private room, Wang Teng and Ma Liang had already dismissed all the technicians and hostesses.
Now, only the six of them remained in the entire private room.
"Fan-ge, what should we do next? This beast tide is on a scale of tens of millions!"
Wang Teng grabbed a bottle of Shancheng City beer and gulped it down.
"It’s not like we haven't encountered a beast tide of tens of millions. Our Modu Base City faced beast tides of hundreds of millions several times back then, and didn't we still defend it?"
Ma Liang sat with his legs crossed, casually cracking melon seeds, seemingly not taking this beast tide seriously.
"Don't be afraid. Don't we each have an E-class spaceship? If we can't defeat them, we can just use the spaceships to bomb them. Once the high-level alien beasts are dealt with, the rest will be easy!"
Chen Fan looked around and came to a conclusion.
"Okay!" x5.
Then, Chen Fan filled six glass cups with beer, and the aroma of malt instantly filled the entire space.
"Let's toast to facing another beast tide together!"
"Cheers!"
After a crisp clinking sound, everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Outside the window,
A gentle breeze blew, and the moon of destiny was just right.
The bright moonlight, like a trial, spilled across the land, illuminating the entire Shancheng City.
At this moment, in the streets and alleys, numerous small stools were placed, and countless citizens were out enjoying the cool air.
Chen Fan and his group strolled along the bluestone street, experiencing the mundane life of this world.
However, this tranquility did not last for too long... "Woo woo woo woo woo woo—"
A piercing siren ripped through the sky, and the faces of the surrounding citizens changed dramatically: "City-wide alarm! The beast tide is here!!"
"City-wide alarm..."
Chen Fan and the other five exchanged glances, a sharp glint flashing in their eyes.
"The alien beast tide has finally arrived!!"
The next moment, six figures shot up from the ground.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Fan and the six soared into the sky.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Against the turbulent airflow, Chen Fan and his group flew to an altitude of a thousand meters in a few breaths.
Looking down, not far south of Shancheng City, was a dense, sprawling beast tide.
"This beast tide is quite numerous!"
The blaring alarm, echoing through the sky, was a continuous and ultimate warning for a city.
In this world full of crises and frequent beast tides, once the air raid siren sounds, it signifies the arrival of disaster.
"Let's go, let's defend with them!"
Soon, Chen Fan's keen eyes spotted the middle-aged mayor's position.
Shancheng City is surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on one side, while the remaining side is a vast, boundless plain.
In front of this plain, there are several thick city walls cast from reinforced concrete.
These were all prepared for the alien beast tide.
From outside to inside, they are the fortress base, outer city, inner city, and city center!
On Blue Star, there are hundreds of countries.
Tens of thousands of cities.
Every year, about twenty cities are swallowed by suddenly gathering beast tides.
Both the city and its people are completely turned into food for the alien beasts.
In short, once an alien beast tide is encountered, a city's human inhabitants are bound to perish.
This has become a fixed global Cognition, impossible to break!
This time, Shancheng City also met the same fate as other annihilated cities.
The vast alien beast tide charged from south to north, so the front line of resistance consisted of dozens of the most robust defense lines, built at great cost.
Heavy firepower, ammunition, and martial artists were all in place.
There were even clusters of heavily armored tanks and fighter jets, all to counter this beast tide!
Beyond these fortresses, there was a sturdy, gray-black city wall, forged with special alloys.
On top of the hundred-meter-high city wall stood the most powerful figures in Shancheng City.
The Mayor of Shancheng City, university presidents, and leaders of various departments.
Without exception, everyone rushed to this place; there were no deserters.
Because they knew in their hearts.
Only by banding together to resist could there be a glimmer of hope.
As for fleeing alone, it would only hasten death.
Looking down from high in the sky, fully armed martial artist teams were constantly assembling.
Some advanced to the front-line fortresses, while others landed on the wide city wall, serving as the resistance force for the second line of defense.
"I didn't expect to experience a beast tide again after so many years. I, Ma Liang, am no longer the Planetary Level martial artist I once was!"
Ma Liang's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the terrifying, overwhelming beast tide, and the blood in his chest subtly surged.
Over the years, having inherited all the martial arts techniques of Venerable Po Yun, he had continuously improved.
He had fought no less than ten thousand battles in the Slaughter Arena alone, accumulating extremely rich experience.
In addition, he had undergone the assessment to become a universe one-star mercenary, which further elevated Ma Liang's combat power.
Now, he yearned for a great battle.
This was the strong confidence born from sufficiently powerful strength.
It wasn't just Ma Liang.
The others were also the same.
Everyone had an eager, ready-to-fight expression.
Only Chen Fan's gaze was calm.
He looked at the continuously surging beast tide, an expression of contemplation on his face.
"Let's go, to the city gate!!"
"Yes!"
Six black streaks of light plunged straight down.
At the city wall,
The fully armed mayor raised his Battle Blade: "All personnel! Attention!!"
Clang! Clang!!
Around the city wall, hundreds of thousands of martial artists straightened their bodies, all affected by the solemn atmosphere, holding their backs ramrod straight.
"For Shancheng City!!" the middle-aged mayor roared hoarsely: "Fight to the death!!"
"Aoooooo!!!"
Hundreds of thousands of martial artists roared, pointing their weapons forward.
Everyone's fighting spirit soared to the heavens!
Even the outer city of Shancheng City was a full thirty meters wide, wide enough to be a highway.
Hundreds of thousands of people spread out, and the space was still not crowded.
Chen Fan and his group stood not far from the mayor, facing the rustling night wind, gazing at the wilderness outside the city.
It had been many years since he had felt this way.
Chen Fan vaguely remembered that his first major battle was going to Base 0231 to support Major Yuan Ye and his group.
And it was from that battle that Chen Fan began to rise, soaring in the path of martial arts.
"Young man, got a cigarette!?"
At this moment, a one-armed old man beside him leaned over, his two missing front teeth looking quite comical.
But Chen Fan showed no hint of a smile; instead, he took out a pack of Huazi from his moon of destiny space and handed it to him.
"Thanks!"
"Good people get good rewards. May you remain whole in this beast tide."
Chen Fan: "..."
Skillfully tearing open the package, the one-armed old man pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and inhaled deeply, lost in thought: "This is a really good cigarette, the taste is superb!"
"Mm!" Chen Fan nodded, still looking into the distance.
"Kid, looking at your simple battle armor, you must be a Planetary Level martial artist, right?" The one-armed old man exhaled a small smoke ring and asked.
"No." Chen Fan shook his head.
Just as the one-armed old man was about to continue asking.
Rumble!!!
The ground began to tremble slightly.
Even a thousand meters away, one could clearly feel that terrifying pressure.
At this moment, the one-armed old man threw down his cigarette butt and looked intently into the distance: "Damn it, those dog-faced alien beasts are finally here..."
