906 Defending Iron Rock City City (1)
Looking at the expressionless officer in front of him, Lin Ye felt a little sorry for them.
After all, this was the first time he had seen the mayor and the higher-ups of the army team up and run away when the beast tide came.
Even General Feng, who had fled from Jiangzhou City to Qingquan City, only ran after Jiangzhou City was destroyed.
The danger of such cowardly leaders was second only to “human traitors” who directly colluded with polluters and mutated beasts.
Just look at the area beside the chaotic city wall.
Due to the lack of leadership from the higher-ups, the soldiers of the army could only fight on their own.
Moreover, their morale was declining very quickly.
Many of the legionnaires were already beginning to lose.
If it weren’t for the fact that many middle-ranking officers like the one in front of Lin Ye stood up, those mutated beasts would really be able to go in and start eating the buffet.
“Gather your men and start getting them to evacuate.”
“As for the money, I-”
Before Lin Ye could finish, Gu Zheng waved his hand.
“You don’t have to worry about that, Dojo Master Lin. Central Province has the right and duty to save them.”
“The munic.i.p.al government has plenty of funds now. Just leave it to me. They just need to extract the beasts.”
Looking at Gu Zheng who took the initiative to bear all the costs for drawing the beasts, Lin Ye nodded and did not insist.
Actually, even if he did it himself, it wouldn’t cost much.
Unless everyone could draw some red or gold-quality beasts.
However, it was obviously impossible.
Moreover, Gu Zheng wouldn’t let them draw on a full-quality beast machine.
If it was free, he would naturally only let them use a low-quality Beast Taming Machine.
The two officers didn’t know what the tamed beasts these two were talking about were, but judging from their serious expressions, they should be something very important.
“Those are tamed beasts.”
Gu Zheng pointed at the war G.o.d-like Great Sage, Blackie, and Qiong Qi in the sky.
“This is the hope for humanity to survive this disaster.”
“They are the friends of the human race!”
The black and white bear rushed to the two leopards who were about to tear the soldiers into pieces and slapped them into the ground.
The two officers nodded solemnly.
Although he didn’t know how Mayor Gu and Dojo Master Lin got such powerful “beasts” as external help, those who could save humans were indeed friends and family!
“I’ll get them to cooperate.”
“There aren’t that many mutated beasts coming in yet. The formation can still…”
Before the regiment commander could finish speaking, he heard a loud sound coming from the city wall.
At the same time, a violent tremble made the few of them tremble.
Lin Ye put her arm around Alicia’s shoulder.
His eyes also looked in the direction of the city wall.
After this loud bang, a crack that was almost as thick as a thumb appeared on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, the two officers were so furious that their eyes almost popped out.
“This!”
“How is this possible?!”
Even though Iron Rock City was a border city, the city walls were still fully defended.
A conservative estimate was that it could withstand the impact of a Level 8 mutated beast.
Furthermore, there was no aura of a Level 9 mutated beast outside. How could there be a crack?
Could it be that the one who built it had cut corners?
But that shouldn’t be the case!
When the city wall was built more than 20 years ago, it was not the current batch of higher-ups.
“There are a few mutated beasts that look like siege engines outside. It’s those things that crashed the city wall there.”
“Have such mutated beasts appeared here before?”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, the two officers shook their heads in unison.
“I’ve never seen them before.”
Even Gu Zheng expressed that he did not know about this new mutated beast after thinking for a long time.
In other words, this mutated beast was… a new breed?
THUMP!
Another loud bang sounded.
As expected, the crack expanded a little.
“Hurry up and organize your men to evacuate to this side.”
“As for these mutated beasts, I’ll think of a way.”
“Yes!”
The two officers immediately ran down and began to organize their men. Meanwhile, Lin Ye looked at the crack and then at Little Tanuki, who had turned into a human.
“Are you confident in controlling a Level 8 mutated beast now?”
Little Tanuki rubbed against Lin Ye’s shoulder and nodded.
“I can give it a try!”
“Then I’ll call Qiong Qi over and give it a try.”
Lin Ye immediately looked at Gu Zheng.
“Mayor Gu, go to Jiangzhou City and issue a mission to help evacuate people. See if any mercenaries are willing to take this mission.”
“Explain the situation here clearly. Then, focus on recruiting those with large beasts that are good at attack or defense.”
Gu Zheng nodded and disappeared into the spatial door.
Lin Ye looked at Alicia and touched her cheek. Then, he flew to the sky above the city wall on Qiong Qi with Little Tanuki.
Looking at the densely packed mutated beasts waiting below the city wall, Lin Ye did not dare to imagine what the city would look like if the city wall was really broken.
One had to put in crystal cores to activate the spatial door. It was not free.
Therefore, many times, even if the people in the city wanted to leave, they could not leave without crystal cores.
After letting Qiong Qi fly down for a few meters, the mutated beasts below also noticed Qiong Qi above.
Some mutated beasts began to cry out anxiously.
One of the huge “frogs” even kicked its powerful legs and “ejected” towards Qiong Qi in the sky.
