At the same time, inside Hongfu Restaurant.

After Ren Yinuo received the message from the Helu City settlement, the entire Fujin Hall first fell into a brief silence, and then burst into uncontrollable cheers.

"Here we come, the rescue team is here!"

"Great! I'm finally leaving."

"Pack it up quickly, pack it up quickly!"

The hope and joy that had been suppressed for too long were instantly released, diluting the fear and haze of the past few days. Zhou Jianjun, Lin Ruiheng and others immediately shouted loudly and organized everyone to take action.

"Everyone, don't be in a daze, hurry up and pack all the food, medicine, and bottled water!"

"Keep your quilts and clothes simple and pick out the ones that are useful!"

"Tools, bring those tools too, especially the rare ones!"

"Be quick and move quickly. But don't be messy and pay attention to safety!"

Hongfu Restaurant instantly fell into a slightly chaotic and busy situation.

People's faces glowed with hope, and they quickly sorted, packed, and tied the materials they could take away. The children were also infected by the atmosphere and helped pass some small items. Ye Qingyu, Zhou Yuxuan and others were busy counting the number of people and materials to ensure that nothing was missed.

Everyone understands that everything must be prepared before the convoy arrives, and there must be no delay. Hope is right in front of us, and the desire to leave this dangerous place gives everyone endless motivation.

Time flies by in the busyness.

About an hour later, the "Sentry" small Mechanical Dog, which had been lying quietly at the feet of Zhou Yuxuan like a sculpture, suddenly flashed a soft blue light on its eye sensor and made a very slight, rhythmic "beep" sound.

Zhou Yuxuan immediately lowered his head to check the display on the simple terminal on his back. His voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and expectation, "Uncle Jianjun, Mechanical Dog's sensing module has detected multiple signals of life forms approaching us. They are humans. There are so many of them that the rescue convoy has arrived!"

The news spread quickly and people became even more excited.

After about ten minutes, Chen Yu, who was guarding the second floor window and was responsible for the lookout, suddenly shouted, "I see it, I see it! The convoy is a military vehicle. There are so many vehicles! Oh my god, there are also armored vehicles! They are coming!"

The crowd instantly rushed to the window, scrambling to take a look.

Sure enough, at the end of the street in the distance, a huge motorcade was rumbling towards them, and the dust raised was clearly visible.

"Quick! Go down to meet us! Those who help should bring weapons and stay vigilant. Others, please move away the obstacles at the entrance of the spiral staircase to make it easier to transport supplies."

Zhou Jianjun gave a loud command and took the lead in leading several young people holding simple contradictions down the ladder to the first floor.

Soon, with a huge roar and dust, the convoy stopped steadily in the open space in front of Hongfu Restaurant. Armored vehicles painted with military camouflage, machine guns and mighty soldiers gave all the survivors a huge sense of security.

Li Gang and Lin Yi jumped off the lead armored vehicle, and Zhou Jianjun and others immediately rushed forward.

"Report! I am the temporary person in charge of Hongfu Restaurant, veteran Zhou Jianjun! There are currently 427 survivors in the building, and the supplies have been basically packed!"

Zhou Jianjun Although he was excited, he still tried his best to keep the report organized.

Li Gang replied with a gift, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhou Jianjun. I am Helu City Settlement Area Armed Police Mobile Unit One Captain Li Gang. The convoy is in place, please organize the people to board the train in an orderly manner immediately, and the material shipment will be carried out simultaneously! Our time is limited!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Jianjun turned his attention to Lin Yi. Seeing that his nephew had no additional instructions, he immediately turned around to make arrangements.

Li Gang did not immediately engage in coordination work. He looked past Hongfu Restaurant and cast it sharply at the purple-black Nest Vortex in the distance that was constantly rotating and exuding an ominous aura.

He noticed that there were many Abyss Wolf gathered around Nest, but they seemed to be just wandering restlessly and not approaching here.

"Vice-captain." A sergeant came over and whispered to the deputy captain next to Li Gang, "Look over there. Those wolf cubs didn't come over? This is a bit abnormal."

In past experience, once there is a large gathering of humans or movement of vehicles, the nearby Abyss Wolfs will roar and rush forward. They will have to kill a few before they retreat into the distance and continue to stare at them in a pitiful manner.

The vice-captain also squinted his eyes and muttered, "Yeah. It's so far away. It feels like he's afraid of something. He doesn't dare to cross the line." He subconsciously glanced at Lin Yi next to him who was whispering something to Zhou Yuxuan.

Li Gang heard this and continued, "Have you not seen that video? I guess he must have been beaten, just like those Abyss Wolf would no longer easily attack armored vehicles when their numbers were small. I have seen them severely."

"There must be at least thirty or forty in that group." The soldier muttered, "Even if we were to bring only one armored vehicle, those brats would probably be restless and want to get closer."

"Stop thinking about these things and stay alert!"

Li Gang scolded, but he himself looked at Lin Yi thoughtfully.

Time passed by, and soon, more than half of the personnel and materials in Hongfu Restaurant had been transferred.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred in the Nest direction!

"Ouch!!!"

A roar as dull as thunder and full of violence suddenly exploded from the depths of Nest. The sound was far more powerful and oppressive than the howl of Abyss Wolf!

An extremely huge Giant Rock Abyss Bear, covered with thick rock armor, suddenly crawled out from the purple-black Vortex.

The expressions of Li Gang and all the armed police soldiers changed dramatically in an instant!

"No! It's Giant Rock Abyss Bear!"

Li Gang shouted, with a hint of unnoticeable panic in his voice, "Everyone is on alert! Prepare for heavy firepower! The second team has encountered this thing before. It is rough and thick, and the machine cannon can only just break through the defense. It has to be circled bit by bit to kill it, which is very troublesome!"

He immediately gave instructions nervously through the walkie-talkie. The machine guns and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles immediately turned towards the huge threat that had just appeared. The soldiers looked for bunkers and pointed their weapons in that direction. The atmosphere was instantly tense.

Lin Ruiheng, who was assisting in counting people, heard the shouting and looked up. There was not much panic on his face. Instead, he stepped forward and said to Li Gang:

"Captain Li, don't be too nervous. My nephew has killed a big guy like this before. Then another Nest crawled out. He didn't even look at us. He turned around and went elsewhere. He was probably scared."

His original intention was to comfort, and he wanted the rescue officers and soldiers not to worry too much.

However, he had just finished speaking.

The Giant Rock Abyss Bear, which had completely crawled out of Nest, shook its huge head, and its scarlet eyes suddenly turned in the direction of Hongfu Restaurant. It once again let out an even more violent roar, which made everyone's eardrums buzz!

But it didn't rush over immediately, it just stared in this direction, its huge body bowing slightly, as if it was accumulating strength, or waiting for something.

This strange behavior stunned everyone.

Immediately afterwards, something even more heart-stopping happened.

From the other direction, almost at the moment when Giant Bear roared, another equally violent roar, which seemed to have a response, came faintly.

Before people could digest this information, a third vague but still distinguishable roar of Abyss Bear came from a farther and completely different direction!

Three roars, like some kind of terrifying war drums, echoed over the dead city like a relay.

At the same time, the Abyss Wolf groups around Nest that were just wandering restlessly, as if they had received some instructions, let out bloodthirsty howls in unison. The howls of wolves sounded from all directions, from far to near, and they were obviously gathering in this area quickly!

The atmosphere that had just relaxed was instantly frozen.
