“Fire Dragon!”
A massive fire dragon burst out, raising the surrounding temperature.
The bright and intense flames burned away all of the thorny vines to ash.
Jiang Haolin’s ability destroyed the vines the moment his ability was unleashed but his expression did not relax, on the contrary it became more solemn.
Bai Li’s brow was also furrowed at this time.
She knew that these vines had B2-tier strength but in the group that Qin Feng brought along, only he was the one who had combat potential and he would not necessarily be able to fend off the vines on his own. This was a very dangerous situation.
Everyone watched Bai Li intently. Qin Feng had not returned yet but the situation had turned out like this. This was something they did not see coming.
What if Qin Feng could not get out?
For everyone else, that would be a pity. For the Fengli Organization and for Bai Li, that would be a devastating blow!
Nobody dared to say anything else!
“We’ll wait!” Bai Li knew in her soul that Qin Feng was safe. She was not worried about his safety, she was worried about getting slowed down.
As she spoke, she did not stop her pace. When she circled around Chongluo City she found out that it was surrounded by plants.
It was through this that she realized that the situation was dire.
Circling the city took Bai Li about half an hour, only to find that the number of people in the temporary garrison had decreased. Not only that, people were still calmly evacuating.
After seeing Bai Li, these people did not dare look at her directly and quickened their pace.
Bai Li immediately walked onto the commanding tank.
At this time, Jiang Haolin was exclaiming in a rage, “You can’t do this, the regent has not issued the orders yet, you can’t just leave! There are still a lot of people in Chongluo City, you shouldn’t just give up!”
Even though he said that, his heart was filled with desperation. The first person to abandon the city was his city’s duke!
“What’s going on?” Bai Li’s palm-sized face had a cold expression on it, she had already guessed what was going on.
When the other people saw Bai Li their expressions tensed up, putting on smiles as they said, “Deputy Governor Bai Li, I can’t help out here so I won’t waste any time!”
“I still have a mission, I need to go!”
“Oh no, the city I’m supposed to be in charge of is under attack by some dark ability user, I need to go back with a spatial waymark. Deputy Governor Bai, you see, General Jiang isn’t letting anyone go, his losses are his losses and my losses are also my losses!”
“Hmph!” Bai Li understood now, letting out a harumph from her throat!
After that, she stared down at these people, making them feel as if they were being stared at by a powerful ultra beast. Cold sweat dripped down their backs.
“Get lost!” Bai Li’s voice was bitter and chilling, causing the others to run away as a wave of relief and joy washed over them.
“D-deputy Governor Bai! How…… how could you just let them go like that?”
“What else can they do besides leaving? What a bunch of garbage!” Bai Li said with disdain. She wanted to save Qin Feng, she had a way to do so but would she really need people to slow her down?
[Beep beep!] Bai Li’s communicator rang, when she read the notification, it turned out to be from Shang Han.
“Bai Li, I’ve heard the news, Qin Feng……”
Bai Li cut Shang Han off and said, “I can save Qin Feng, he’s alright!”
“That’s good. Then I don’t need to worry, but the other people are……” Shang Han was getting a migraine about this. The B-tiers did not want to stay and a city was getting wiped out. This was a huge event.
For the Northern Region, it was always natural disasters added with human calamities. In this era, there were too many of these.
As such, Shang Han had decided to abandon Chongluo City!
“Bai Li, help Qin Feng get out of there! I’ve already made plans to move the aptitude users from the area! I’ll be counting on you for this!”
Bai Li was not surprised by Shang Han’s decision as she said, “No problem, I’ll handle the rest. Don’t worry!”
“Alright, your merits and rewards will be plenty, but is there anything you’d like to especially request for?”
“How many more A-tier ultra beast crystal cores do you still have?”
Shang Han was stunned, evidently not as many as she thought.
Bai Li pouted, before she could get her award she was already thinking about snacking.
“Fine, then I’ll hurry off, you don’t need to fuss about this place!”
“Good, good, with you there I’m not worried!”
Shang Han quickly hung up the call, the worrying thing was that Bai Li was probably going to request for hundreds of A-tier ultra beast cores!
When the call ended, Bai Li dialed another number and immediately called the Fengli Organization.
“Get me a few aircrafts and fly them over!”
***
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Feng was already preparing to get everyone out of there. He only had one person before, but the large truck he was driving would have only been able to hold up to about a hundred people.
After clearing through a few districts, the people that Qin Feng could evacuate numbered up to thirty thousand.
With so many gathered in one place it was absolute chaos. At that moment, Qin Feng had dropped the idea of using something like a vehicle. That idea would not work at all.
Moreover, it was at least an hour’s drive to get out of the city.
Guan Shan was armed to the teeth, while the people with him were also just as armed. Their bodies were even coated with beast repellant.
“A few bags per person! Let’s go!” Qin Feng exclaimed.
“Right!’
Guan Shan carried five bags of beast repellant and had those up his sleeves in case of emergencies. The same was true for Qin Feng while everyone else picked up about the same amount, some more some less.
A group of people rushed out of a large shopping mall and managed to reach the last area where Qin Feng had designated yesterday.
For Qin Feng, this stop was the sixth stop and by now, only a hundred people had shown up.
His gaze looked up to the apartments and knew that there were probably still people in there, watching from behind the curtains.
He tore himself away and coldly exclaimed, “Women and children in the center! Everyone else, coat yourselves in beast repellant. Be quick, you have ten minutes!”
These people hesitated, however, one person asked in confusion, “It’s only you guys?”
The day before, Qin Feng issued the order and people thought that at least a legion would arrive, they did not expect to only find Qin Feng all on his own.
“Yes!” Qin Feng did not hide it and responded immediately.
The person’s expression fell and he took a few steps back. “No, I won’t go with you!”
And there were these people, they were hard to defend properly. They might even be thrown to distract the ultra beasts if necessary.
“I’m not going either!”
“Me too!”
“These are the people that are supposed to save us?”
Most of the people began to retreat one after the other.
There was an ugly expression on Guan Shan’s face, not expecting so many people to not have faith in them. The fact that they had lost combat effectiveness made him feel embarrassed.
However, he did not say anything. Guan Shan hoped that maybe Qin Feng would not bring a single one of them along, these kinds of people were cumbersome bastards anyway!
Qin Feng did not persuade them otherwise and said, “The rest of you, follow me!”
He did not stop moving, walking along as he let people slather on the beast repellant and headed toward the city’s exit.
