The number of mutant beasts is even denser than the previous locusts. The combined power can directly reduce the base to ruins.
For a time, everyone in the base was in panic.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of divine beasts working here, how can it alone resist the hundreds of mutant beasts outside?
The civilians fell into despair. Once the base was captured, there were only a few people that the divine beasts could protect, and it would never be their turn.
The top management of the base has helicopters, so they can evacuate by plane before the beast tide arrives.
They are the only ones who can live and die with the base, and their life and death depend entirely on fate.
…
Nanyang Office.
Xie Jingshan convened leaders of various departments to hold an emergency meeting.
"First of all, let me make it clear that my family and I will never be deserters. If any of you want to leave, I will not stop you, nor can I.
However, there is one thing you all must understand: anyone who leaves the base during this critical moment will no longer have any connection with Nanyang and will be considered to have automatically relinquished their position."
During safe periods, they enjoyed the protection of the base. When they saw disaster coming, they just left. When the danger was over, they came back with their families and enjoyed the fruits of others' blood.
How could such a good thing happen?
Xie Jingshan has an unyielding spirit in his blood. He built Nanyang bit by bit, and he would not allow anyone or any creature to destroy their home.
If the disaster cannot be avoided, he has only one choice -
Fight with all your strength!
After Xie Jingshan finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said, "Base Commander, Nanyang is my home. Apart from here, I won't go anywhere else!
Those mutant beasts are coming, aren't they? I'll take up my gun and fight them!"
"I won't leave either, Base Commander. I will follow you and defend Nanyang Base!"
Others echoed enthusiastically: "Defend Nanyang Base! Defend Nanyang Base!"
Only two people who wanted to desert the battlefield crouched down and sneaked out of the meeting room.
Xie Jingshan pretended not to see it. There was no point in keeping someone who deserted at the critical moment.
After reaching a consensus on a common goal, everyone began to have a heated discussion about this defense battle.
Zhou Yanze is on a temporary assignment at the Nanyang base. He has his own dedicated helicopter and can leave at any time. He is not under Xie Jingshan's jurisdiction.
Cheng You, who was standing behind him, lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Zhou, the master has learned that a beast tide is about to break out in Nanyang, and he wants you to evacuate immediately."
Zhou Yanze leaned lazily against the back of his chair. "Hasn't he wanted to beat me to death for a long time? Isn't this the perfect opportunity?"
Cheng You grew up in the Zhou family. His father and mother both worked for the Zhou family and were deeply trusted by the family.
He had been with Zhou Yanze for four or five years, but he still couldn't figure out the young master's temperament. Every time he spoke to him, he was cautious.
"Mr. Zhou, those were just angry words from the master. He actually cares about you very much."
Zhou Yanze's eyes were filled with even more interest, and he didn't bother to argue. "I'm not leaving. I want to stay here."
Cheng You frowned and asked quickly, "Why? Are you planning to join the base in resisting the mutant beasts' attack?"
In his opinion, the probability of Zhou Shao doing good deeds and helping others is almost zero.
Soon, he heard an expected answer.
"No, I'm not that kind."
Zhou Yanze's tone was unusually serious. "I like the villa here, especially the swimming pool on the rooftop. I can't leave it for a second. I have to protect it from mutant beasts."
Cheng You looked puzzled. The Zhou family had many properties, and this one in Nanyang was just one of them.
There are villas with better conditions than this one, so why does Mr. Zhou insist on staying here?
Suddenly, a possibility flashed through his mind, the swimming pool that Zhou Shao mentioned!
It’s related to Boss Jiang!
Apart from this reason, he really couldn't think of any other reason.
But the beast tide is too uncontrollable and full of unknown dangers. Even if the villa is impregnable, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a group of beasts breaking through the obstacles and forcing their way in.
Cheng You came forward and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, how about we take a plane to find Boss Jiang?"
As long as I can leave Nanyang, I will do anything.
Zhou Yanze raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Do you know where she is?"
Cheng You shook his head fearfully: "I don't know."
Zhou Yanze glared at him unhappily, "That's it."
After all, he still had to stay here in person to protect the villa from damage.
On the other hand, Xie Jingshan has already discussed the response strategy with the ministers.
Finally, he turned his gaze to Zhou Yanze who was sitting in the corner and said:
"Yan Ze, what are your plans?"
Zhou Yanze raised his head, his tone rising slightly with a hint of nonchalance.
"I'll guard the villa area."
As soon as the words fell, everyone at the conference table showed surprise.
Xie Jingshan was also surprised, but did not comment much on Zhou Yanze's decision.
"Okay, then protect yourself and don't let your dad worry."
When the old man at home was mentioned, Zhou Yanze looked unhappy. He immediately stood up and left the meeting room.
Cheng You trotted out, "Mr. Zhou, are you really going to reconsider? If you don't want to go back to the master's house, we can also go to the Twilight Hotel."
Zhou Yanze lit a cigarette and looked at him with cold and fierce eyes: "If you don't want to die, shut up."
…
When I returned to the villa, Uncle Wang was waiting at the door with a steel fork in his hand, looking extremely anxious.
"Yanzi, it's already this late, why haven't you taken the plane yet?"
When facing his trusted relatives, Zhou Yanze's expression softened a lot. "You didn't leave either?"
Uncle Wang said with a sullen face, "I'm already quite old, how can I be the same as you?
As for me, I'm used to living here and don't want to move. I won't live long anyway, so I'll just fight the mutant beasts with my life.
You are young and have many options. What if something unexpected happens while you are here?
Zhou Yanze's ears were almost callused from hearing these words. "Tsk, old man, I've made up my mind. No matter how much you try to persuade me, it's useless."
Uncle Wang wasn't afraid of him and continued to persuade him earnestly, "You're not even thirty yet. You've never had a serious relationship, never been married, and never had children. You're dying all alone. Don't you feel any regret?"
Zhou Yanze almost laughed out of anger, "Old man, can't you just hope for the best for me? Who said that if I stay, I will definitely die?
Don't worry, I will be fine."
After saying that, he quickly went upstairs, not giving the old man a chance to catch up.
Uncle Wang stood there and sighed, "The child has grown up, and I can't control him anymore."
…
The civilian dormitory building was shrouded in endless darkness, and a heavy atmosphere permeated every corner.
Tang Wanyun folded down the wardrobe, took out everything inside, and stuffed water, bread and other food back in one by one.
Tang Wanxing squatted beside her, her face full of curiosity: "Sister, what are you doing? Playing hide-and-seek?"
Hearing this, Tang Wanyun's eyes turned and she nodded in agreement:
"Yes, hide and seek. Tomorrow you will hide in the closet. No matter what noise you hear, you can't come out. Got it?"
