Chapter 112 The Beast Tide is Coming
"Yes, understood." Upon receiving the order, the soldier led the group to a cubicle next to the conference room to wait. Sensing that Ma Jiang hadn't seen its owner for too long and started whining, the soldier decided to release the dog out of the space as well, since there would be fewer and fewer opportunities for it to run around in the future.
"You're definitely going to be a doting mother in the future."
When Lu An saw Yu Miaomiao let Ma Jiang out, Ma Jiang's chubby tail wagged back and forth, and it pounced on Yu Miaomiao as soon as it came out. Lu An felt a pang of jealousy. Whose dog is this anyway?!
Ma Jiang was also a master of balancing things; she licked Yu Miaomiao, then pounced on Lu An and licked him vigorously, and finally even Xu Nanwei was treated to a lot of affection by Ma Jiang.
Everyone's been so busy lately, we haven't had much time to play with the dog, and the cat doesn't like to talk to the dog either, so the dog is feeling wronged.
After waiting for only a few minutes, they were led into the conference room. Yu Miaomiao looked around the conference room. In the huge room, there were only Yang Silu, the secretary-general, Ye Jian, Chu Bai, and two soldiers. Some reports were scattered on the conference table.
The people present looked disheveled and extremely haggard, a stark contrast to their appearance when they last saw the leader.
It's clear that a significant argument has just taken place here.
Seeing that no one spoke, Yu Miaomiao organized her thoughts, looked directly into Yang Silu's probing eyes, and firmly described the situation she had just explored with her mental energy.
"The beast tide will arrive in at most half a month."
After using her mental energy to probe the area, she discovered a massive group of creatures moving hundreds of kilometers away.
In her previous life, there was also a beast tide. She didn't know much about it, but she heard that after the bloody battle, the survivors of the dungeon retreated to the villa area and completely sealed off all the exits. It wasn't until six months later, when they developed a new type of weapon, that they were able to reopen the exits. The situation must have been extremely tragic.
Now that she has discovered the impending beast tide, she must seek cooperation from the military to prevent what happened in her previous life from repeating itself.
Besides, Yao Yao's family, He Liang, Lu An's brother, and many of their friends from after the apocalypse are now in the underground city. Not far outside the underground city are Ji Feng and Ji Mu. If they can protect this place, the weapons factory where Ji Feng and the others are located can be safe. Unlike her previous life, she has friends to accompany her in this life and no longer has to fight alone.
She has friends and vulnerabilities, and she wants to protect them all.
Upon hearing about the beast tide, the group, who had just been overwhelmed by the plague, collapsed. One crisis after another was looming. Even Yang Silu, who was usually so composed, was losing his composure. His eyes narrowed sharply, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. At that moment, all he wanted to do was curse... But as the commander of an army, he had to remain calm.
"It's over, it's over..." The soldiers standing on either side of Yang Silu couldn't hold back any longer. They had been lacking food and clothing these past few days, and their comrades were dying one after another. They had also witnessed a few scattered beasts, and just a few beasts could take the lives of a whole company of soldiers. What about that beast tide...
Given the current state of the dungeon, another wave of monster invasions could cause it to collapse completely within a few months.
"How much more time can we buy?" Half a month is too short. Chu Bai, who has been leading troops for many years, immediately thought of sending out elite troops to intercept them in advance. This should buy them some more time to reinforce and build defenses for the underground city.
"At most one month, no more than that, it can't be delayed any longer. After one month, tens of thousands of strange beasts will surge in."
Based on Yu Miaomiao's current understanding of the number of superhumans and soldiers in the underground city, they can at most hold off a small-scale beast tide and buy some time, but it's just a drop in the ocean.
Yang Silu pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yu Miaomiao with a hint of expectation in his eyes. "Since you chose to come and tell me, you must have something you want to say to me. Just say it. If you have any conditions, feel free to mention them. As long as you can help the underground city overcome its difficulties, you will be the savior of all the people in the city."
This girl looks like she could be blown away by the wind, but she is exceptionally resilient.
There are still two hardened criminals from their underground city in the space, but they never show any fear.
Yang Silu had fought and led troops for decades and had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen anyone like Yu Miaomiao, who bloomed in the face of adversity and never gave up.
"It feels like you little girl seem to know everything in advance and are never flustered."
Rebirth is not some unspeakable secret; I just don't want to create unnecessary explanations.
Yu Miaomiao met Yang Silu's gaze, and an invisible aura surged in the air. The others could feel the tense atmosphere, and Lu An even stood in front of Yu Miaomiao, looking ready to fight at any moment. "I haven't thought of the conditions yet, but I'm keeping this opportunity in reserve."
He chose to remain silent about his rebirth and did not explain what kind of premonition Yang Silu had asked about.
Yang Silu stared intently at Yu Miaomiao for a long time, her gaze unwavering. Yu Miaomiao met his gaze directly, her eyes clear and firm, and continued, "The beast tide is coming fiercely, but it is not invincible. However, we must first determine our focus." In the previous life, the dungeon had also detected the beast tide about half a month in advance, but chose to strengthen its defenses, which actually had little effect.
When defense fails, we should take the initiative. Yu Miaomiao's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, and then she continued calmly, "The beast tide only appears in places where superhumans gather. We should ambush outside the dungeon in advance and intercept the beast tide on a small scale, but our focus is not on interception, but on relocation, relocation of superhumans."
Places without a gathering of superhumans will not attract hordes of monsters; only the energy magnetic fields on the bodies of superhumans will be sensed by the monsters.
In a sense, alien beasts and superhumans are inherently locked in a life-or-death struggle, each hunting the other.
"This is information I've never heard of before."
"This isn't new information. The Capital Underground City isn't the only base that encountered a beast tide." Yu Miaomiao didn't believe it. It was absolutely impossible for the Capital City to have no contact with other bases.
"Even if the superhumans are transferred now, they still have to return to the base later. Do we have to make such a fuss every time?"
Chu Bai believed Yu Miaomiao's claim that the strange beasts were attracted to the superhumans, but if all the superhumans were transferred, or if the dungeon stopped accepting superhumans altogether, how could the dungeon's safety be guaranteed? Moreover, multiple forces within the dungeon were currently vying for power, and it was uncertain whether the transfer would be successful.
"It's not about making a big fuss, but about long-term dispersion."
"I understand, it's about quantity."
After listening to Yu Miaomiao's intelligence information, Ye Jian did not participate in the discussion. He could understand that the beasts were attracted by the energy of the superhuman or a certain magnetic field in their bodies, and thus formed a unified beast tide. However, he did not understand what the transfer meant at first.
