Chapter 219: Departure
The area around Mita City was dead silent. There were no farmers farming in the large amount of farmland.
There was no smoke coming from the chimneys of the villages and small towns.
It was obvious that the people here were either evacuated or hiding.
When they arrived at Mita City, the two emergency teams were warmly welcomed by the Guardian of Mita City, James.
Lugh and more than a hundred members of the Emergency Response Team were arranged by Mita City to live in a military camp in Midtown.
Of course, the conditions were not as good as those in Skylight City, but they were also clean and tidy. It was obvious that they had been carefully cleaned.
Elisa and Bill left the Emergency Response Team and went to see the Guardian of Mita City, James. Lugh and the others were left to clean up their rooms and prepare to stay.
After cleaning up, Lugh walked out of the room and saw Bruce, who was next door.
“Brother, how long do we have to wait here?”
When Lugh and the others came over, they did not find any Fierce Beasts attacking Mita City.
“It’s hard to say!” Bruce lazily leaned against the wall and continued, “We have encountered this kind of mission before. When we arrived, the Fierce Beasts had already begun to attack. Sometimes, we need to wait for a few days or more than ten days. These are all uncertain. However, most of the time, when the headquarter city asks for help from Skylight City, there will definitely be a Fierce Beast riot. After all, there are so many headquarter cities, so they have enough experience to make a judgment.”
“What if the beasts don’t attack?”
“Then continue to wait until there is an even more urgent mission that needs us.”
Bruce laughed and said, “What do you think we are being magnanimous in the face of an emergency? We are firemen. Wherever the Southwest needs us, we will rush there.”
“Yes!”
“However, you don’t have to worry too much. Wherever we go, we will be provided with good food and drinks. Those Guardians of the base cities are extremely enthusiastic.”
Of course, they had to provide for the members of their Emergency Response Team. After all, when they encountered a crisis, they still counted on them to contribute.
Bruce suddenly looked at Lugh with a smile. “Have you ever touched a woman?”
Of course, Lugh understood what Bruce meant.
“Do you want them to arrange a big sister for you?” Bruce asked.
“Forget about that.”
“Hahaha, I’m just kidding.” Bruce laughed and said, “Now is definitely not a good time. If the mission is over and you’re resting, that’s not a problem. I can take you to see it.”
“I’m too young now. I don’t want to think about those things.”
“Well, not bad.” Bruce patted his shoulder and said, “You are much stronger than me. Back then, when I just joined the army, I was taken in by my big brothers.”
Not long after, Elisa and Bill appeared in the center of the camp and asked the two teams to gather.
Elisa said loudly, “According to the information from Mita City, there has been a continuous beast roar coming from the Orvis Mountain in the south of Mita City. It seems that the Amethyst Rhinoceros sleeping in the Orvis mountain has just woken up. Every time the Amethyst Rhinoceros wakes up, it will devour a large number of Fierce Beasts in the Orvis Mountain. The Fierce Beasts in the Orvis Mountain might be driven by it and rush out from the Orvis Mountain, forming a beast tide.”
“The Guardian of Mita City has personally gone to investigate. In two days or one day at most, the first wave of Fierce Beasts that rushed over from Orvis Mountain might reach the safe zone outside Mita City. He has already set off a Level-1 alarm and ordered all the civilians outside the city to withdraw into the city.”
“Fortunately, the few cities around Orvis Mountain are quite far away from Orvis Mountain. Even if the Fierce Beasts rushed out of Orvis Mountain, the impact on the other few cities will not be too great. With their strength, they can withstand it. We only need to be responsible for helping the defense of Mita City.”
“Everyone rest well for the night. Tomorrow, we will head to the south of Mita City.”
“Disband!”
More than a hundred Emergency Response team members immediately disbanded.
After a while, two trucks from the Mita City army arrived.
More than ten strong soldiers carried buckets of dishes that emitted a human fragrance down.
An old soldier shouted loudly, “Friends of the Emergency Response Team, it’s time to eat.”
Hearing that it was time to eat, Lugh and the others followed him out. After traveling for more than ten days, they hadn’t had a good meal.
The old soldier said with a smile, “Our Guardian knew that you were coming, so he killed a Platinum-Grade beast in advance to replenish everyone’s energy.”
Hearing that there was meat to eat from a Platinum-Grade beast, many members of the Emergency Response Team smiled.
Gold-Grade Beast Masters rarely ate the meat of Platinum-Grade beasts.
The meat of Platinum-Grade Beasts was rarely sold on the market. It was usually surrounded by a bunch of high-ranking officials.
The members of the emergency team lined up neatly. Under the arrangement of Mita City’s military, Lugh received a small iron basin that was even bigger than his own face.
A chef with a large waist scooped half of the iron basin rice for Lugh. He came to the iron basin where the vegetables were stored, and another chef used a large horse spoon to scoop a large spoon of Platinum-Grade beast meat for Lugh.
Seeing that Lugh was about to leave, he quickly shouted, “Wait, there are still two more spoons.”
Another two spoons of Fierce Beast meat, which made Lugh a little afraid.
Almost all of it was Fierce Beast meat, only a few unremarkable side dishes of small potatoes.
Couldn’t he just shake it a little and order less?
There were still dishes at the back.
The chef looked at Lugh and smiled, “Brother, look at how thin you are. This is for you.”
The chef enthusiastically placed a large piece of rib in Lugh’s bowl.
“Thank you!”
“Eat more.”
After a round, the small iron basin in Lugh’s hand was piled up until it was pointy. The only vegetarian dishes were a few white radishes.
He glanced at the other Gold-Grade Beast Masters. They were almost the same as him.
Back in his room, Lugh finished all the food in the small iron basin. He felt a little bloated.
However, the taste was really good. It was much better than the food in the canteen of their Emergency Response Team.
After putting the small iron basin into the recycling area, most of the other Emergency Response Team members lazily picked their teeth and chatted for a walk. Lugh ran over and listened to their bragging.
When it was 10 o’clock in the evening, everyone returned to their rooms.
At 6 o’clock in the morning, they gathered at the camp and had a rich breakfast. Then, they left the camp with the two team leaders.
More than a dozen military cards were lined up at the entrance of the camp.
More than a hundred members of the Emergency Response Team jumped onto the carriages. The military cars were activated and drove toward the south gate of Mita City.
After leaving the middle-level area and arriving at the outer city, the speed of the military cars slowed down significantly.
Lugh and the others stood on the military cards and could see the civilians on both sides of the street.
Most of them had their families and families with them. They brought their luggage with them and there were cotton quilts on the ground.
They stood on both sides of the street, looking curiously at the dozen or so military cars before them. The members of the Emergency Response Team were dressed in neat military uniforms. The people’s gazes were filled with reverence.
Most of these people were ordinary civilians from the various towns and villages that had retreated from Mita City.
There wasn’t enough s.p.a.ce for them to settle down, so they could only squeeze by the side of the street.
They were also very curious about Lugh and the others’ ident.i.ties.
“Who are they? They look so imposing.”
“Beast Masters from our Mita City?”
“No, they’re from the Skylight City Emergency Response Team.”
“I heard that they’re very strong. Even the weakest one is a Gold-Grade Beast Master.”
“These are the reinforcements the Guardian invited.”
“Of course they are. Our Guardian is really amazing.”
“When I become a Beast Master in the future, I’ll join the Emergency Response Team as well. It feels so cool.”
…
Lugh gradually averted his gaze from the commoners. Right at that moment, a black shadow attacked him.
Sneak attack?
Lugh subconsciously stretched out his hand, grabbing the black shadow that was attacking him tightly.
He looked at his hand. It was a bunch of bright-colored roses.
The petals of these roses were still stained with dew, exuding a rich fragrance.
The members of the 7th Emergency Response Team who were in the same car as Lugh saw this and burst into laughter.
Lugh looked up and saw a long-haired girl with delicate features lying on top of an open window on the second floor.
The long-haired girl’s skin was fair and her face was red. She tried her best to summon up her courage and waved shyly at Lugh.
Bruce laughed and said, “She’s trying to show her love to you.”
“Why is no one throwing flowers at me?”
“You’re too ugly.”
“Yes, Lugh is the representative of the 7th Team. A few days ago, someone said that he wanted to introduce his daughter to Lugh.”
…
An officer in charge of maintaining order saw this situation and quickly jumped up. He said apologetically to Lugh, “Sorry to disturb you. We’ll arrest her immediately and give you an explanation.”
The girl on the window saw that the officer was looking at her, and her expression was a little panicked.
She seemed to realize that she had made a mistake.
