High Martial Arts Storm

Zijing Martial Arts Hall.

When Yang Haocheng and Yang Qin arrived, in addition to their father Yang Baifeng and younger brother Yang Haozhi who were already waiting, Mu Ailian and Zheng Yang had also arrived.

"Yang Qin, why did you call us over so urgently? What happened?" Mu Ailian asked, puzzled.

"Let me explain!" Yang Haocheng looked at Yang Qin, who also looked puzzled, and said, "Sister Qin and I just returned from Shunhe Town, a level-two desert town. Lan Xinlin's family's electromagnetic airship picked us up. The pilot discovered the Seven Crystal People..."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone except his younger brother Yang Haozhi had a solemn expression.

"Base City 22 is under attack by a large number of Seven Crystal People and beast tides. Logically speaking, since the Seven Crystal People are going to attack Base City 22, the Seven Crystal People in the surrounding areas should rush to join the battle. But Seven Crystal People have appeared in Shunhe Town. There is something wrong with this..." Zheng Yang said in a low voice.

"If there's a problem, then the Seven Crystals' target isn't just the 22nd Base City," Mu Ailian analyzed.

"Something unusual must be going on. If the Seven Crystals attack our 21st Base City, the situation will be very bad. Because of the 22nd Base City's plea for help, a large number of experts from our 21st Base City will definitely rush over to provide support..." Yang Qin didn't finish her sentence, but her expression became even more grim.

This moment.

Almost everyone understood.

If the Seven Crystals were to attack Base City 21, the attack would likely be far more intense than the one against Base City 22, and they might even employ a feint attack.

"If Base City 22 is bait, then Base City 21 will be in big trouble," Yang Baifeng muttered.

In a short time.

Everyone fell silent.

"Beep beep..."

Everyone's personal terminals received the same message:

Urgent Notice:

Leaders and teachers of all primary and secondary schools in the ring area, as well as all parents, please send your children under the age of sixteen to the underground refuge spaces in the Second and Third Ring Roads within three hours.

Please send any family members with elderly members over 80 years old, as well as those with disabilities, to the underground refuge spaces within the Second and Third Ring Roads within three hours.

All martial artists who are not at the government's War General realm or above are to immediately proceed to the 18th Ring and prepare for battle; all martial artists who are not at the government's War Officer realm are to immediately proceed to the 17th Ring and be prepared to engage in battle at any time.

"Emergency Warning: Level 1 Beast Tide"

Upon seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

confirmed?

A Level 1 Beast Tide?

Yang Baifeng's face was gloomy as he said in a deep voice, "The fact that we were given three hours to evacuate means that there hasn't been a beast tide within a hundred kilometers yet; at most, it's just a sign that the beast tide is about to begin."

"Go to the Second Ring Road."

Mu Ailian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I bought a property in the West Second Ring Road, equipped with a concealed bunker, which can accommodate more than a dozen people. We'll send all our children and elderly relatives there."

Thank you!

Yang Baifeng, Yang Qin, and Zheng Yang clasped their hands in a fist salute at the same time.

Everyone knows that the hidden stronghold is much safer than the underground refuge spaces built by the government. Even if the entire surface of the Second Ring Road is completely breached, it will be difficult for the Seven Crystals and the mutated beasts to discover the existence of the hidden stronghold.

now.

The entire 21st base city is now operating at high speed.

Having survived countless beast tides, there was no chaos, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

West Second Ring Road.

Inside the two-story building, six children and nine elderly people all entered the hidden bunker.

As the composite steel door closed, the thick, concealed floor also slowly closed in.

"The food and water inside are enough for a dozen people to last about two months. The patrol team's post is only two kilometers away, so even within the inner second ring road, it's relatively safe. So everyone doesn't need to worry." Mu Ailian took a deep breath and continued, "Next, we need to prepare for battle. I hope everyone can survive in the end."

"Um!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Let's go to the trading company and buy weapons first! The better prepared we are, the greater our chances of survival will be," Zheng Yang said.

Let's go together.

soon.

The group arrived at the commercial district located on the Third Ring Road.

Mu Ailian informed everyone that she had the silver badge of Zijin Trading Company, so everyone chose the shop of Zijin Trading Company.

"Haocheng, I've transferred one million star coins to you. You can choose whatever weapon you want to buy. We need to go to the second floor to buy weapons. Let's... part ways here!" Yang Baifeng patted his son's shoulder, his eyes filled with worry, and continued, "Survive. I only ask that you survive."

"Father, you must live too."

"rest assured!"

soon.

Yang Baifeng, Mu Ailian, Yang Qin, and Zheng Yang then went up to the third floor.

at this time.

There are three people left, including Yang Haocheng.

"Are you planning to come with me, or split up?" Yang Haocheng asked the other two.

"I've arranged to meet up with my classmates later," said Zheng Yang's younger brother, Zheng Wei.

"And you?"

Yang Haocheng looked at Yang Qin's younger sister, Yang Yue.

"I'll stay with you," Yang Yue said after a moment's hesitation.

"Okay, let's go buy weapons!"

"good!"

Then.

The two went straight to the weapons section on the second floor.

Just ten minutes later, Yang Haocheng's backpack was stuffed full, including twenty electromagnetic grenades and even two more powerful demon cloud grenades.

Laser gun.

Electromagnetic network.

Dark Realm Sphere.

In addition, there were three quivers of fletching.

After making the purchase, Yang Haocheng was glad that he had the silver badge of Zijin Trading Company. After the 10% discount, he still had 50,000 star coins left after paying the bill.

"Let's buy some more medicine and then head to the seventeenth ring!" Yang Haocheng suggested.

"Can."

Yang Yue didn't buy many weapons, but it still cost her a full 400,000 star coins.

An hour later.

Yang Haocheng and Yang Yue took a city hovercar to the 17th Ring Road.

The two submitted their participation information through their personal terminals and then rushed to the assembly point assigned by the system.

"Yang Haocheng, you are responsible for guarding the Qinghe Riverbank. Your coordinates have been sent to your personal terminal."

"Yang Yue, responsible for guarding the Qinghe Riverbank, coordinates have been sent..."

The banks of the Qinghe River.

It is located northeast of the 17th Ring Road.

When the two arrived in a hurry, dozens of people had already arrived, including eight people of similar age to them.

"I am Xing Bin, the temporary commander of the outpost, with a nine-star battle officer cultivation level. From now on, all thirty of you will follow my orders." Xing Bin, dressed in camouflage combat uniform and holding a knife hilt, said in a deep voice, "You will be divided into groups of three. Choose yourselves from each other. There will be ten groups in total. Anyone who disobeys orders during combat will be dealt with according to military law."

"yes!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

"Brother, I'm Zhou Xinghai. Shall we be in the same group?" A fair-skinned, chubby man approached.

"What level of cultivation?" Yang Haocheng asked.

"Three-star battle officer realm".

"Impressive, let's team up then." Yang Haocheng pointed to Yang Yue and introduced her: "This is Yang Yue, a two-star battle officer, and I am Yang Haocheng, a one-star battle officer."

"Your cultivation level is the lowest, so I'll listen to you," Zhou Xinghai chuckled.

Listen to me?

Because of the lowest cultivation level?

What are these selection criteria?

Yang Haocheng was somewhat amused and exasperated. He looked at Yang Yue, whom he didn't know very well, and found that she had also nodded.

"Alright! Let's fight side by side and advance and retreat together," Yang Haocheng said.

"Boss Yang, you're a straightforward guy." Zhou Xinghai gave a thumbs up, and two magnetic storm grenades appeared out of thin air in his hand. He then stuffed them into Yang Haocheng's hand and chuckled, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you'll take good care of me during the battle, Boss Yang."

"..."

Yang Haocheng was both amused and exasperated.

This is……

Are you giving yourself a gift?

This guy is a three-star battle officer, with a cultivation level higher than mine, yet he still wants me to take good care of him?
