Qin Ze happily slurped noodles.
Three whole years.
Do you know how I spent these three years?
Woo——
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded on the street outside.
Qin Ze instantly straightened his body.
He was very familiar with this sound.
It was the alarm of the beast tide.
Whenever this happened, the whole city would enter a wartime martial law state.
All warriors in the city must obey the dispatch of the City Defense Bureau.
Ordinary people enter the shelter for refuge.
Until the beast tide ends.
Or the city is broken.
However, the people in the noodle shop did not change their expressions at this moment.
They were still chatting while slurping noodles.
It was as if the beast tide alarm outside was an auditory hallucination.
Not only that, even the streets outside were as calm as ever.
People continued to do what they had to do.
Qin Ze did not even see a law enforcement officer.
"Is it just an exercise?"
Just as he was wondering.
The news on TV suddenly cut the screen.
It was an aerial view.
I saw a large group of strange beasts rushing towards Haidu City from a distance like a tide.
A rough estimate is that there are at least 10,000 of them.
The screen immediately turned to the city wall, and the soldiers of the City Defense Department on the wall were collectively on high alert.
The narrator said at this time: "An emergency has occurred. A low-level beast tide has appeared outside the city. Residents please stay away from the city wall and try to stay at home and don't go out."
"This is the seventh beast tide in Haidu this year, and the number of strange beasts is about 10,000..."
Qin Ze exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!"
It's only April now, and there have been seven beast tides.
Almost two beast tides per month on average.
If it was this frequency three years ago, Haidu would have been flattened by strange beasts long ago.
The most important thing is that even the battles in the world are so fierce, the situation in Penglai City is probably even more troublesome.
After all, that is the world's first line of defense.
After returning from Mantou Island this time, Qin Ze plans to go to Penglai City for a "field investigation" to see what the situation is there.
Qin Ze looked up and continued to watch the news screen.
When the beast tide was still several kilometers away from the city wall, the city defense system was activated.
The new generation of weapon cannons fired, forming a dense barrage in the sky and smashing into the beasts.
Boom boom boom——
As mushroom clouds rose, most of the alien beasts were killed or injured in an instant.
"This power."
Qin Ze smacked his lips.
If there was this firepower during the tide in Jiangcheng, it would not have been so difficult to fight.
It seems that in the past three years, when the human race was repairing the ship, they also replaced all the important parts on the ship.
After several rounds of volleys, only less than one-fifth of the alien beasts were still charging.
These are all intermediate alien beasts, which are immune to cannons.
Fortunately, there were no S-level alien beasts in this beast tide, and it is estimated that they were all stopped in Penglai City.
Hundreds of warriors jumped off the city wall, working in groups of five to kill the remaining seriously injured beasts.
Each group had a peak warrior of level seven or level six.
The remaining people were also at level four or five.
The beasts were already seriously injured by the weapons and cannons, and the warriors rushed in like cutting melons and vegetables, and the beasts had no power to fight back.
There were also heavy sniper guns on the city wall to provide long-range precision firepower for the ground team.
In less than half an hour, the beast tide of nearly 10,000 was completely wiped out.
Then the city gates opened, and a large number of soldiers went out of the city to clean up the battlefield.
After reading this, Qin Ze was very moved.
No wonder the people on the street were so calm.
It turned out that they had been desensitized for a long time.
The current human race's strength was completely beyond Qin Ze's expectations.
To reach this level in three years, the company's resources alone were not enough.
Qin Ze was curious about what else Brother Yuanzi had left.
As the lights came on, Qin Ze left the noodle shop and returned to the circus' headquarters in Haidu.
It's called the headquarters, but it's actually a large warehouse.
The most valuable equipment inside is the crematorium.
At the beginning, after each team battle, the injured clones rushed in, wanting to experience the taste of cremation in person.
However, as more and more old things were cremated, everyone gradually lost interest in it.
In addition, the later participants were all peak competitions, and those who were not injured and could come back alive all exploded on the spot to make up for the damage.
The crematorium was put in the "cold palace" and has not been used for a long time.
Qin Ze opened the door of the warehouse.
In the corner, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dahei?"
Dahei was the one who followed Qin Ze back to Haidu from the North last time.
He has been watching the house here since then.
Three years have passed.
Dahei is still doing his duty.
He didn't leave the warehouse door for a moment.
Qin Ze turned on the light.
In the corner of the warehouse, Dahei, who was as thin as a lightning bolt, was lying there weakly.Seeing Qin Ze coming back, the expression on Dahei's face kept changing.
Five points of surprise, three points of resentment, and two points of grievance.
It's not that it doesn't want to leave.
It's mainly because it's too dangerous outside.
This is the capital city of the human race.
Even if there weren't as many warriors as there are now three years ago, there was still a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps.
Law enforcement patrols the streets 24 hours a day.
It's no exaggeration to say that if Dahei leaves this warehouse, it won't take half an hour for someone to take out the soul beads and make a specimen of the body.
"Heibao, you've suffered!"
"Alas~ If you had followed the captain and the others."
"Indeed, there are many people on their ship, enough for you to eat for a while, unlike here where no one is left."
"Captain: Tie Q."
"..."
The clones in the LAN gloated over the misfortune.
When they have nothing to do on weekdays, they like to tease Dahei.
It's not easy for Dahei to live to this day.
Qin Ze was amazed: "The beast is quite tough, it didn't die."
Qin Ze called out.
Dahei crawled over aggrievedly.
Afterwards, Qin Ze held down the dog's head and gave it some blood transfusion, and its sluggish spirit finally recovered a little.
"Good dog."
Qin Ze asked the nearby clone to buy some beef.
Leaving Dahei downstairs to watch the door, he went upstairs to rest alone.
The key suddenly vibrated.
Qin Ze opened the hunter chat group and saw the edge paddling.
[Border paddling: Brothers, I found something, the trainer and Senior Yao Yuan may not be dead]
[Catch a vixen:? ]
[Border paddling: The Ten Thousand Races Forum needs nine hunters to open. Now it is open, which means that all nine of us hunters are here. If they are dead, the forum should not exist]
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, the edge paddling is sometimes quite smart.
[Ironhead A Biao: That makes sense]
[Scholar: I noticed it before, but there is another possibility. It is not necessary for all nine hunters to survive. As long as they appear, the forum may be able to be opened]
[Edgepad: Crow's Mouth]
[Scholar: I am just explaining a possibility]
[Edgepad: Alas~ Qin Ze has not been heard from for three years. I guess he went down to the abyss again after we returned to Haidu. How can this dead kid be so stubborn? ]
Qin Ze couldn't help but smile.
He suddenly wanted to say something to see how the edgepad would react.
