The unrest lasted for a full day.
After leaving the Mystic Dream Otherworld, the Grand Consul traveled to hundreds of cities.
The more threatening mid-to-high-level alien beasts were all killed with a single blow.
The remaining monsters were left to the City Defense Bureau to deal with.
Shortly after the outbreak of the beast tide in the hundred cities, Sea Capital immediately mobilized its support.
Cities that did not experience a beast tide all redeployed a significant number of personnel to nearby cities, while ensuring the smooth operation of their city defenses.
Among them, the two corps guarding Sea Capital were dispatched to nearby cities as reinforcements.
Thanks to the timely response of the city City Defense Bureau, the entire city was spared from destruction.
The most important thing is that the source was contained in time.
Without a continuous influx of strange beasts, wiping out the beast tide in the city is only a matter of time.
According to statistics from local City Defense Bureau.
A total of over 3.7 million exotic beasts were released in 100 cities this time.
More than 90% of them are low-level exotic beasts.
Forty-one S-class alien beasts.
Five SS-class alien beasts.
Fortunately, there were no Class 3S alien beasts.
The beast tide in 100 cities resulted in 18 million deaths, over 60 million injuries, and nearly 100 million missing persons.
The losses to industry and infrastructure exceeded 50 billion Alliance Credits.
Without a doubt, this is a catastrophic blow to the Human Alliance.
Qin Ze booked a private room at a restaurant to welcome the four members of his professional team who had just returned to Sea Capital.
They went to Pearl City.
Because they were closest to Sea Capital and had the strongest reinforcements, they returned the following evening.
The four of them were covered in dust and looked dejected, but thankfully no one was injured.
What are your thoughts?
Qin Ze poured a glass of water for everyone.
The fat man said in a deep voice, "There is an SS-level exotic beast in Pearl City."
When we arrived, half of Pearl City had fallen.
"Later, the Grand Consul appeared and slew the beast, turning the tide."
"Otherwise, Pearl City would already be gone."
Even the usually optimistic Huai Xu said pessimistically, "The alien beasts are too strong. Even an F-rank alien beast would require two ordinary level one soldiers working together to kill."
Not everyone is like a professional team, with each person possessing a unique talent or ability.
They are all top performers among their peers, and ordinary martial artists naturally cannot compare to them.
Wen Jing ate silently.
Lu Tongtong held her water cup and sipped the water slowly.
Everyone remained silent.
Qin Ze asked calmly, "Is the Grand Consul strong?"
Wen Jing nodded. "Very strong, one shot killed that SS-class alien beast."
Qin Ze: "That solves it, there are tall people to hold up the sky if it falls."
"Besides, the Grand Consul isn't the only one with a Level Nine Martial Artist."
"What we need to do now is to grow up quickly under their protection."
"The day I grow strong enough to kill a Beast with a single shot."
After Qin Ze's words of encouragement, the four of them finally regained their spirits.
Huai Xu slammed his fist on the table. "The boss is right, we must strive to become stronger!"
"Only strength is real."
Qin Ze smiled and changed the subject, "Tell me about the inner demons you encountered in that Otherworld. What were they that made you so afraid?"
The four of them were immediately embarrassed.
Lu Tongtong whispered, "It's... it's nothing, I'll never be afraid again."
Wen Jing nodded, "The food's getting cold, let's eat."
Seeing that everyone had completely recovered from their disappointment, Qin Ze did not delve any further into the topic.
After a satisfying meal, the group strolled through the streets toward the school.
Sea Capital was not affected by this beast tide in hundreds of cities.
People's nightlife continues.
There's absolutely no indication that the Alliance had just experienced a period of turmoil.
Qin Ze was certain.
After this experience, Sea Capital's housing prices are bound to see a surge.
Boom boom boom--
Qin Ze suddenly stopped.
He frowned and looked at the ground.
"What's wrong, Brother Ze?" the fat man asked.
Lu Tongtong also cast a concerned glance at her.
Qin Ze asked in confusion, "Didn't you hear anything?"
The four members of the professional team shook their heads.
Boom boom boom--
here we go again.
Qin Ze was certain he wasn't hallucinating.
The sound was coming from underground.
It felt like something was drilling and stirring deep inside the soil.
Not only the professional team, but also the pedestrians on the street, did not react at all.
"Only I can hear it."
Qin Ze muttered to himself.
A moment later, the sound disappeared.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
"Maybe I drank too much," Qin Ze waved his hand.
Huai Xu chuckled and said, "Boss, you're really hopeless. Is that all the alcohol you can drink?"
Qin Ze raised an eyebrow. "Even if you're bad, you're still better than someone who can't even last one drink. I wonder who was it that had an online romance last time..."
Huai Xu quickly interrupted Qin Ze: "Let's go to the supermarket and buy some snacks, it's on me!"
The fat man and Wen Jing laughed along.
Lu Tongtong also curved into a smile.
Five people walked side by side along the street at night.
The shadow was stretched very long by the streetlights.
A locked room in a certain location.
An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face sat on the ground meditating.
Suddenly, projections of Aries and Pisces appeared in front of him.
"Sir, the plan has failed... Virgo is dead, and Leo has been captured." Pisces reported, head bowed, not daring to breathe.
The Aries to the side disagreed.
Anyway, he was just there to make up the numbers on this mission.
Whether the outcome is good or bad, it doesn't really matter to him.
He and Aries were in charge of causing chaos and disrupting the reinforcements when the beast tide was in full swing.
Ma Yan was ordered by the Virgo to stay home and handle logistics.
He doesn't fully trust her yet.
Upon hearing this, the old man opened his eyes, which were bright and clear, without a trace of cloudiness.
"I see."
"Thank you for your hard work during this time."
"Rest well first, and wait for my next order."
Seeing that the old man did not punish him, Pisces felt somewhat relieved.
Aries casually asks, "What should Leo do?"
"He's been imprisoned in the Mystic Dream Otherworld by the Sea Capital Law Enforcement. Should we rescue him?"
The old man said calmly, " This Otherworld has severed my divine sense; I cannot descend here."
"You Leo won't work on me, but I have my own methods."
The two nodded, and after recounting the entire operation, they respectfully took their leave.
The projected image disappeared, and the old man's face visibly darkened.
"Did it fail?"
Boom boom boom--
The Earth Rumbling, and the old man was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.
"It's done!"
"It really works!"
The old man slowly rose, smiling as he murmured to himself, "On the day I become a god, you will all thank me for everything I have done."
In the dormitory late at night, the sounds of snoring rose and fell.
Qin Ze rested his head on his arms, not feeling sleepy at all.
He then heard the Earth Rumbling twice more.
He asked others in the key chat group, but no one heard him.
"I've been encountering more and more strange things lately."
Qin Ze's intuition told him that the Earth Rumbling was not a good sign.
The night is long, and I can't sleep.
Qin Ze opened the chat group again.
Everyone is still talking about the recent beast tide in 100 cities.
Suddenly, he saw Passerby A ask a question.
[ Passerby A: What is the purpose of the Fairness Society such lengths, even at the cost of losing two major Constellations, to trigger a beast tide in a hundred cities?]
