Chapter 306: Chapter 305 No, He Might Be Right (Please Subscribe)
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 something 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 chairmen-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 newcomer named Gu Ze could actually get a chairman to personally come 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 newcomer.
As the saying goes, more friends mean 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 members of the Crescent Squad with envy.
Among those who built a good relationship with Gu Ze during this time, there was no one else besides the Crescent Squad.
"Brother Jin, we really envy you guys."
Someone nearby said, "When Gu Ze left just now, he even specially greeted you and said he would always remember 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 time, he didn’t overthink it; he just thought of helping a newcomer with a similar body enhancement 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 repayment or anything.
However, the other members of the squad didn’t think the same.
Especially the two men, 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 something 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 time, 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 same time, 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 named 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 agreement.
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?"
Someone asked.
Since returning, the chairman had been preoccupied.
Li Ping leaving should be a cause for joy, right?
"I’m thinking about something."
Su Yu lay back in his chair, frowning.
"Thinking about something?"
"What is it?"
"Do you all remember 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 remember, 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, sometimes even emerging 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 some scary stuff, don’t take it to heart."
"No."
Su Yu shook his head, "Do you all remember 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 remember 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 remember when the Beast Tide before that broke out?" Su Yu continued.
"The one before?"
They looked at each other.
Some of them only arrived in Wang City in the past two or three years.
"If I remember correctly, it should be four or five years ago."
An older-looking Awakened thought, "At that time, 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 remember where they were then.
At this moment, someone’s eyes revealed a flash of shock and they blurted out, "Chairman, do you mean 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 extremely 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 time.
Would the fifth break this pattern?
Would it?
Probably not...
"Chairman Li also said something 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 time’s scale exceeding everyone’s expectations, what did that mean?
Was it a repeat of ten years ago?
This, how could it be!
"Cha-chairman," someone stammered, "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 medium 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.
