"According to the reconnaissance by the drones I sent out, the Beast King has appeared. It's a monster I've never seen before, and under its leadership, the beast tide is heading towards Hope City!"

The city lord's mansion, inside the meeting room.

Behind the city lord was a large screen displaying photos taken by her drones. From the air, one could see countless extraordinary creatures gathering together, marching in a mighty force towards Hope City.

"hiss!"

"Tsk!!"

Holy crap!!!

Exclamations of surprise rang out from below.

Everyone was terrified by the scene.

Zhang Lin wasn't afraid, but he still scratched his head...

It felt like a company meeting before the apocalypse.

The boss stood in front of the projector, with a PowerPoint presentation behind him, and spoke eloquently...

For a moment, I felt a little nauseous.

“Some of you have not awakened your memories, or your awakened memories are incomplete. Now, I will reiterate the situation of the beast tide!”

"This is a war of races, a war of life and death!"

"Under the control of an unknown force, these extraordinary creatures of different races will regard us humans as mortal enemies. After the beast tide gathers, they will sweep through human settlements and eliminate any humans they see!"

"Under the power of the beast tide, no individual can survive. Only by uniting together and gathering the strength of all of us can we hope to survive the attack of the beast tide."

"Therefore... I must tell you, once the war begins, do not harbor any illusions. Kill every supernatural creature you see, and do not think about running away, because once Hope City is breached, you will have nowhere to escape!"

"Extraordinary beings will not let any living human go unpunished!"

The city lord spoke in an extremely serious tone.

There are many heroes among humankind, but there are also many traitors.

She had seen many people who defected to the enemy in the face of battle, trying to survive by surrendering.

But that's impossible.

Extraordinary beings will not accept the surrender of humans. In their eyes, humans are food and mortal enemies.

To prevent anyone from taking chances and surrendering, thus wasting human resources, the city lord must inform everyone of this situation.

"Damn it, who have we humans offended? Why are so many disasters being brought down? Do they have to wipe us all out before they'll stop?"

"Those who haven't awakened their memories shouted angrily."

"It would be better if they all died, but after they all die, the world will restart, and we'll have to go through these things again and again," Tang Lian said coldly.

He has awakened quite a few times and is very knowledgeable about various situations.

However, he had always been a lone wolf before.

This is the first time I've joined the city lord's meeting.

"How are we supposed to fight so many extraordinary creatures? Can we even win?"

"Look at that beast king, it's like a dinosaur, and so big. Among us, who can defeat it?"

"It's better to commit suicide beforehand than to be chewed up alive by some supernatural being!"

"..."

Then, one by one, people made their voices.

But most of what they say is just complaining nonsense, which is how they vent the enormous pressure in their hearts.

The city lord said nothing, but waited quietly.

She had seen this scene far too many times.

But Zhang Lin stood up and slammed his hand on the table. With a loud bang, the table shook, and the loud noise immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Stop spouting demoralizing nonsense!"

Instead of complaining, think about how to win!

Zhang Lin frowned and shouted something to the crowd.

He had just settled into a routine at work, but he was already feeling annoyed. The chattering and chattering of a group of people only made him more irritable.

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

But the silence only lasted a few seconds before someone voiced their dissatisfaction.

"Can't we even say something?"

"That's right, if you have a solution, just say so, we'll hear it."

"..."

Most people remained silent, after all, Zhang Lin was currently riding high, and no one wanted to be the first to offend him.

But there are always some impulsive ones. They're already under a lot of pressure, and at this moment, they instinctively retort with a few words.

"Um?"

Zhang Lin looked over immediately.

What, you don't take me, the future leader of the alliance, seriously?

The two who had spoken up in rebuttal froze instantly.

I feel a little panicked.

These two are leaders of external forces, but having been in the vicinity of Hope City for so long, they must have heard of Zhang Lin's reputation.

To date, no one who has offended him has survived.

"Um……"

"My idea is that when faced with difficulties, we should all unite under the leadership of the city lord and Boss Zhang, and together demonstrate the spirit of not fearing danger or hardship, stand on the front line against the beast tide, and strive for a bright and beautiful future for mankind."

Yes, that's what I meant!

One of them, clearly from a government background, reacted very quickly, immediately spouting a set of short phrases with very positive and uplifting content.

The other one wasn't so good. He seemed uncultured, and seeing how well the other person spoke, he blushed and couldn't even come up with a single line. He could only blush and add, "Me too!"

"I..." Zhang Lin was speechless and almost burst out laughing. His previously irritable mood instantly improved.
