A city-wide alarm was a city’s final warning method.

In this highly dangerous martial arts world, there was only one type of disaster that required a city-wide alarm.

And that was… The Beast Tide!

“Let’s go!”

Sister Qi suddenly stood up, grabbed Chen Yu, and led him out of the private room.

As they ran, Chen Yu gradually came back to his senses, and his expression was extremely ugly. “Is this a drill?”

“There’s no drill for the city-wide alarm! Hurry up and follow me.”

“Where to?”

“No. 7 High School.” Pushing away the chaotic crowd in the hall, Sister Qi spoke quickly. “The Beast Tide is coming, and Qingcheng City is going to be finished. Only students and minors have the right to escape in advance. You are now a registered student of No. 7 High School, so you can escape.”

“Then… Then what about you?”

“The Beast Tide is coming, what else can I do?” Sister Qi turned around and smiled bitterly at Chen Yu. “If you can escape alive, next year, burn some paper for me.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

In that case, his mother and sister were also hopeless..

“It seems that my wish cannot be fulfilled.” As she spoke, Sister Qi brought Chen Yu out of Foot Bath City and stopped a taxi.

“Get on the car.” The driver’s eyes were slightly red. “Which school are we going to?”

“No. 7 High School.”

“The same way as No. 5 High School.” The driver wiped the corners of his eyes. “I’ll go home first and bring my daughter along.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

“Buzz!”

He stepped on the accelerator and the car shook as it rushed forward.

Sitting in the back seat, Chen Yu looked through the car window at the rapidly retreating scenery. His mind was in a daze.

He had not adapted to this sudden change…

But the memories in his mind told him that this was the Beast Tide.

Perhaps he had slept in a peaceful society yesterday, but when he woke up in the morning, the city had been reduced to ruins..

“Woo– Woo– Woo–”

On the streets, police cars whistled past.

Countless loudspeakers were “roaring” in various neighborhoods and alleys.

“The Beast Tide is coming!”

“Those with children at home, send them to school immediately!”

“Quick, quick, quick…”

“Minors and pregnant women have the right to evacuate in advance! I repeat! Only minors and pregnant women under the age of 18 have the right to evacuate in advance…”

“Warning, those who lie about their age will be executed on the spot!”

“All martial artists above Level 1, please get ready as soon as possible and gather at the Eastern City Wall to buy time for the civilians to evacuate.”

“Don’t bring more than five kilograms of supplies to the children!”

Bang, bang, bang…

Qingcheng City, which had been preparing for the college entrance exam, was instantly thrown into chaos.

Shouts, warnings, the sound of cars, crying, gunshots, and the sound of gunfire did not stop.

It gave Chen Yu a real understanding of the current situation of humans “struggling to survive.”

The commercial streets, the entertainment city, schools, cigarettes, factories… and even the bustle before the college entrance exam…

All of this was an illusion.

It was all an illusion created by the government in the face of danger.

When the disaster really happened, everything would vanish into thin air.

Squeak–

The taxi stopped. The driver kicked open the door and rushed to a residential building facing the street.

Not long after, a young girl about the same age as Chen Yu came out of the building.

Looking Up, Chen Yu could even see a certain woman’s trembling upper body in a window on the third floor.

‘That’s probably crying…’

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

Perhaps it was because of the surrounding atmosphere, his body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

…

Five minutes later.

When they arrived at No. 7 High School, the taxi stopped.

Sister Qi and Chen Yu pushed the door open and got out.

Buzz–

The driver stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive in the direction of No. 5 High School.

He didn’t even want the fare.

At this time, there was already a long line in front of the gate of No. 7 High School.

Only the students and teachers of No. 7 High School were qualified to enter.

“Chen Yu, go in.” Sister Qi gently pushed him. “I wish you good luck and a safe journey.”

“…Where are you going?”

“East City Wall.” Sister Qi looked at Chen Yu and slowly retreated. “I am a fighter above Level 1. I must participate in the Resistance.”

At this moment, the night wind seemed to blow away all the noise.

Only the two of them looked at each other.

Language also lost its function.

Only the eyes could convey all the emotions and information…

Until Sister Qi disappeared from sight.

The clamor returned to Chen Yu’s ears again.

He turned his head and looked at the chaotic team in front of the gate. He sighed deeply, took out his cell phone, and called home.

Du–

Du–

After more than ten seconds, the call was picked up.

“Hello?” It was Mother Chen’s voice.

“Mom.”

“Yes…”

“How’s it going over there?”

“The neighborhood has been sealed off. Don’t worry about us. Follow No. 2 High School and evacuate first. Take care of yourself.” Mother Chen tried hard to suppress her sobbing voice.

“Where’s my sister?”

“Your sister is with me… She said she doesn’t want to talk to you.”

“…Did the police say when you can leave?”

“After the students are safe, we can leave.”

“Is there still time?”

“I hope there’s still time.” Mother Chen could not hold back her sobs. “Xiao Yu, hang up. I feel uncomfortable listening to your voice.”

“…”

“Take care.”

“…”

“Stay alive.” This was Chen Siwen’s shout.

Then, the call was hung up.

Ka, ka, ka…

Chen Yu clenched his phone so tightly that it made a “ka ka ka” sound. He glanced at the students lining up at the entrance of No. 7 High School and left decisively.

Leave his family behind and leave alone?

That was impossible.

…

There were over a hundred countries in the world.

There were hundreds of cities in China.

Every year, a few of them would be swallowed by the Beast Tide that suddenly appeared.

No one knew how the beasts gathered into a Beast Tide.

And no one knew if they were under some kind of guidance.

In short, as long as the Beast Tide appeared, there would definitely be a city where the humans would lose their lives.

After “eating their fill,” a portion of the beasts would disappear into thin air.

The rest would disperse on their own.

Thus, slowly, the humans were forced to develop a “cruel” response plan.

That was to evacuate all pregnant women, students, and minors a few hours before the Beast Tide arrived.

The rest of the civilians, officials, police, and troops… Were all reduced to “rations”…

In order to ensure that the “rations” were sufficient and did not affect the evacuation of the children, no adult would be able to escape from this system!

Close to the city walls and kill them.

Only when all the minors in the city were taken away would the city gates be opened, allowing the commoners to escape in all directions.

But usually, by this time, the Beast Tide had already arrived…

“So, the only way now is to wait.”

Chen Yu silently calculated in his heart, “After the city gates are opened, with my unlimited physical strength, I will bring them away…”
