In an instant, the entire Pedestrian Street crowd seemed to explode, with endless noises and screams, causing even greater panic.
In panic, everyone rushed towards the nearest shops like headless flies, trying to hide inside and avoid the unknown and terrifying Ferocious Beast.
However, the inexplicable fog that appeared on the Chengbo River previously attracted many people to the street entrance of Pedestrian Street to stop and watch. At this moment, the crowd lost control, and fierce pushing and even collisions inevitably occurred at the street entrance.
In the chaos, a little boy who looked to be only five or six years old screamed, and was squeezed by the surging crowd behind him. His little hand instantly broke away from his mother's grasp, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing that thin figure about to be trampled mercilessly by the crowd of people fleeing in panic!
Chen Mochuan, who was three meters away, heard the child's exclamation. His eyes narrowed. Without thinking, he immediately used his waist and squeezed through the surging crowd like a fish. He stepped forward, bent down and quickly hugged the frightened boy from the ground.
At the same time that Chen Mochuan rescued the boy, a powerful voice suddenly burst out from the chaotic crowd, instantly overwhelming all the noise and screams:
"Everyone, listen! Calm down and don't mess up! I am a veteran, and I am also a Mortal Shedding state Martial Artist! With me standing in front of you, I will never let Ferocious Beast hurt everyone first!"
Perhaps he heard that the other party is not only a trustworthy veteran, but also a powerful Martial Artist, the backbone that can be relied on in times of crisis;
Or maybe after being frightened by his powerful aura and words, the key points of "Don't mess up when in danger" instilled in the monthly disaster drills came into my mind, and the commotion of the crowd miraculously stopped quickly.
A middle-aged man with a stocky build, Chinese-shaped face, short hair, and a calm face stood out. He stood tall and straight, and his eyes were sharp, which invisibly gave people a sense of reliable security.
"Everyone listen to my command. Only by maintaining order can we escape from danger as soon as possible!"
"According to my judgment, Ferocious Beast is most likely to land from the upstream direction of the Chengbo River. The shops at the street entrance are not safe. Let's go inside Pedestrian Street first and look after each other's elderly and children. I, Li Xuan, will stop you from behind!"
Martial Artist has a high status under Hua Nation. Under Li Xuan's effective call and organization, everyone quickly gathered and began to act according to his instructions.
During the march, Chen Mochuan keenly noticed that while Li Xuan was guiding the crowd, he kept scanning the shops on both sides of Pedestrian Street, as if he was eagerly looking for a suitable safe haven, but judging from his slightly hesitant expression, the other party seemed unfamiliar with this place.
So he fell two steps behind, came to Li Xuan, and whispered, "Uncle Li, there is a large Comprehensive Entertainment Center in the middle of Pedestrian Street. The space there is wide and the structure is strong. It should be able to accommodate many people at the same time."
Li Xuan was worrying about this matter. His eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he showed a grateful smile and nodded, "That's great! Young man, thank you for your advice, it's been a big help!"
After having a clear goal, Li Xuan guided everyone to move faster. Not long after, the mighty team arrived at the gate of Entertainment City.
At this time, many people who responded quickly had already gathered in Entertainment City. The manager had already closed the protective electric gate for safety reasons. Seeing Li Xuan arriving with a large group of people, he immediately raised the gate again and quickly welcomed them all in.
After all, if Ferocious Beast were to attack, with so many people gathering together to keep each other warm and looking after each other, the hope of survival would be much greater than if they were scattered and hiding.
Along the way just now, Li Xuan had been shouting guidance. Even those who had already panicked and ducked into the small shops along the way, heard the movement and followed them. At this time, the team had gathered hundreds of people.
Fortunately, Entertainment City has three floors, and the space is indeed large enough. Although it is a bit crowded to accommodate so many people, it is not a problem.
However, seeing a safe place within easy reach, some people showed signs of crowding towards the entrance, trying to get in first.
Li Xuan stood in front of the door with a lunge, and shouted like a bell, "Don't crowd! Listen to my order! Ferocious Beast hasn't rushed in front of us, we have enough time! Let the elderly, children, and women enter first! Young and strong men maintain order on the outside and assist them!"
"I, Li Xuan, promise as a veteran and Martial Artist that even if there is real danger, I will be the first to rush forward and the last to retreat! As long as I can still stand, I will never let any Ferocious Beast harm everyone!"
Frightened by the coercion of his absolute force and his heavy responsibility, after a brief commotion, everyone began to enter Entertainment City in an orderly manner according to the instructions.
In the process of organizing the mass transfer, Li Xuan was not idle. Based on the principle of voluntariness, he quickly selected some young adults Martial Warrior from the crowd who were willing and able to fight against Ferocious Beast, and recruited nine people in total.
Although there is no second player Martial Artist in this temporary team, the members are at least high-level eight-dan or above Martial Warrior who are full of energy and blood.
Among them, two Martial Arts Department college students who are returning home during the winter vacation and a senior teacher from a local martial arts gym have the most outstanding abilities. They are both senior Tenth Rank Martial Warrior.
In the face of an unexpected crisis, although these people's faces were solemn, they were not too panicked. Instead, they all had firm eyes, gearing up, and were ready to fight at any time. They were obviously not inexperienced novices.
In Hua Nation, Martial Warrior enjoys a lofty social status and resource allocation. Correspondingly, protecting the people and fighting against Ferocious Beast is also regarded as Martial Warrior's bounden duty.
Especially during college, students often need to complete actual combat tasks with Ferocious Beast as the goal, or follow their instructors to enter Wilderness Zone experience to exercise their actual combat abilities and temper their character. Combat awareness has long been integrated into the martial arts training system.
A few minutes later, Li Xuan saw that except for the nine volunteers Martial Warrior he had gathered, almost everyone had entered Entertainment City.
He glanced around, only to find that the young man wearing Eighth High School school uniform who took the initiative to show him the way did not follow the crowd in, but stood quietly not far away, looking towards the direction where Ferocious Beast might attack.
"Young man, why don't you go in for safety?" Li Xuan frowned.
"Uncle Li, I am Eighth Rank Martial Artist. My boxing and body skills are pretty good. I should be able to help you a little." Chen Mochuan turned around and spoke in a calm but serious tone.
"Nonsense!"
Li Xuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his voice rose a bit. With his keen ears in Mortal Shedding realm Martial Artist, he could already vaguely hear the unique roaring and running sounds of Ferocious Beast coming from the direction of the Chengbo River in the distance. Time was running out.
