"?"
His words completely baffled the few people present.
What did he mean?
They still had to go at a specific time?
With so many requirements, what exactly did Chairman Li want them to do?
"Brother Qin, could you be more specific?"
Hua Jun couldn’t help but speak up.
"Of course."
Qin Jin nodded and smiled bitterly, "The truth is, I didn’t say anything earlier because I myself haven’t fully processed some of the contents of this letter."
Before the others could ask, he pointed to the position of number 1 and said, "In three hours, this area will see the first wave of ground-boring beasts, numbering around three hundred, with over ten Elite-level Fierce Beasts among them."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the people present were all stunned.
This place would see a wave of ground-boring beasts in three hours? And the number was specified? Could this be real?
How could Chairman Li know this information?
This was something that would happen in the future. Could it be that he possesses some form of precognition?
"Captain, what about the number 2?"
The green-haired woman pointed to the second spot.
"At 10:30 tonight, another wave of ground-boring beasts will appear here, reaching six hundred with almost fifty Elite-level Fierce Beasts among them."
"And number 3?"
"At 5 AM the next morning, there will be another wave of ground-boring beasts, similar in scale to the first."
Qin Jin’s gaze turned to the last marked location, "At 1 PM tomorrow, a wave of nearly five hundred ground-boring beasts will appear, including one Commander-level Fierce Beast."
"Commander-level!"
Hearing this, the group took a deep breath.
If it was only one Commander-level Fierce Beast, they were confident they could handle it without much danger.
But if that Commander-level Fierce Beast had dozens of Elite-level ones with it, that would be a different story. The difficulty of killing the target as well as the likelihood of them getting injured would increase significantly.
However, before seriously considering these issues, there was a more important question to clarify: Are these pieces of information real?
"Why are you all looking at me that way?"
Qin Jin said helplessly, "These aren’t my words; they’re written on this paper. If you don’t believe me, you can check it yourself."
Without hesitation, the group took the letter and gathered around to read it.
Sure enough, it was just as the captain had said: the times, places, and numbers were all clearly detailed.
"This..."
The group exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
"Chairman Hua,"
Someone looked at Hua Jun curiously and asked, "Can your Chairman Li know about future events in advance?"
"Huh?"
Hua Jun opened his mouth wide.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "I... I don’t know either."
He recalled an incident in the past when people from Jiulong City had come close to causing a massacre here.
If the chairman could foresee the future, there wouldn’t have been a need for others to call and warn them.
But when the first Beast Tide erupted, the chairman seemed to be prepared...
"You don’t know either?"
When they heard this, the group’s brows furrowed simultaneously.
"Ahem."
Hua Jun coughed and said, "Folks, I really don’t know if the chairman can foresee future events, but he is not one to speak without reason. I believe that since he wrote this in the letter, he must have certainty."
Qin Jin and the others looked at each other.
They didn’t know much about Li Ping, and thus were skeptical of what Hua Jun said too.
But one thing was clear: they came here on Chairman Han’s advice and with Li Ping’s tasked mission.
Therefore, as long as the latter wasn’t sending them on a suicide mission, they had no reason to refuse.
"Chairman Hua is right."
Qin Jin nodded and said, "Although we haven’t interacted with Chairman Li for long, we can tell he’s a reliable person. I believe what he says in the letter."
The others nodded as well.
During their journey, they had learned some details.
This Chairman Li was indeed a warm-hearted person despite his cold exterior. Not only did he protect Anshan City, but he also rushed to other places for rescue missions.
"Yes, yes."
Hua Jun nodded repeatedly, then looked at the map on the table, then at the group, and tentatively asked, "Folks, since the chairman said that these areas will be attacked by ground-boring beasts, we should quickly evacuate the residents living there, right?"
"Yes."
Qin Jin replied, "Chairman Hua is right. Please handle the specific arrangements for the evacuation. Once the beasts appear, leave it to us."
"This!"
Hua Jun was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you very much."
The city’s C-level Awakeners had mostly left. Even if they were around, they wouldn’t stand much chance against such a large beast horde.
Unless the chairman personally took action, there wasn’t much they could do.
And these people in front of him were powerful individuals from Juque City, all of whom were B-level and well-coordinated as a team.
"Chairman Hua, you’re too polite."
Qin Jin waved his hand and smiled, "As I said before, we came here to assist Chairman Li in protecting Anshan City. Clearing these beasts is our duty."
"The captain is right. This is what we should do. And it’s just one Commander-level Fierce Beast and dozens of Elite-level ones. Taking them out is a piece of cake for us," the green-haired woman said proudly.
"Exactly. Dozens, even hundreds of Elite-level Fierce Beasts are nothing to us."
"Chairman Hua, take care of the arrangements. Leave everything else to us."
"Alright, alright, I’ll get to it right away."
Hua Jun got up and hurried out.
Although they had three hours to prepare, the time would pass in a blink of an eye.
After he left, the people in the office looked at each other.
"Captain, do you really believe what’s written on this paper?"
A man pointed to the page.
"Honestly, I’m not quite convinced."
Qin Jin shook his head.
"Captain, I think the same," the green-haired woman said in agreement. "How could anyone know what’s going to happen? If someone could, they would be invincible."
"Exactly. Foreseeing the future? If someone could do that, it would be unbelievable. I remember Chairman Li’s superpower is Speed Enhancement, not future predicting."
"Yes, I find it strange too."
"Maybe he cultivated some special technique?" someone suggested. "I heard that some special cultivation techniques could predict the future. Chairman Li’s methods seemed to be those of a Martial Artist. Could he have cultivated a similar technique?"
"Could be."
The group nodded.
Even if they hadn’t cultivated martial arts, they knew a bit about Martial Artists’ capabilities.
"I think, instead of us guessing around here, why don’t we wait for three hours to see if beasts appear at this spot?"
"Yes, if the beasts do appear, then the rest of the locations will likely have beasts as well. If not, we’ve followed the instructions, and Chairman Li can’t blame us."
"Right, that’s the way."
Qin Jin nodded slightly; it made sense.
The situation would be better understood as time passed.
He didn’t know why, but he actually hoped the contents of the letter were true.
