"What's going on? Why are interstellar beasts here? How did they get in? Why wasn't there any warning? Could they have come through a wormhole? But given the current evolutionary rate of interstellar beasts, aren't there fewer than a hundred that can autonomously make wormhole jumps?!"
“What should we do? What should we do now?!”
In just a short while, the entire stadium became chaotic. All kinds of chaotic, fearful and anxious screams filled the air. Almost everyone couldn't control their fear and ran out frantically.
But there are only a few exits, which cannot handle such a large flow of passengers. When everyone is frantically trying to squeeze out, the number of people who can successfully escape becomes even lower.
Fortunately, the leaders of the Federal Center reacted quickly and issued a rescue order soon. They also required the inexperienced players still on the field to evacuate immediately, while the experienced players stayed behind to block the beast's path.
[Little sister, Tang Tang, are you okay? Where are you now? Have you evacuated?!]
The moment Tang Tang saw the anxious sound of the light computer's communication signal, he subconsciously picked it up. The next moment, his brother Tang Sheng's extremely anxious voice came from the other side of the light computer, asking about Tang Tang's current situation.
"No, not yet." Tang Tang shook his head and replied, "We are still inside the stadium, trapped by the crowd and unable to retreat..."
At this moment, Wen Xiaole, who had just finished contacting his grandfather, spoke hurriedly:
"We can use one exit. The other exit is already open, and support has arrived. But there's still a lot of people coming in, so the four exits won't be able to evacuate everyone quickly. We can take some people out through the other exit to disperse the pressure..."
Just as Wen Xiaole was speaking anxiously, a lot of support soldiers came to help evacuate the crowd, but the pressure of the crowd was so great that some people could not even get close to the escape door.
Seeing this, Luo Qingmei, who was the most experienced, raised her hands and made an "assistance and support" gesture, asking some of the audience to follow them and escape to another escape exit.
Now time is urgent and support comes first. The second mecha team with rich practical experience is naturally responsible for the part of "blocking the ferocious beast". After confirming that Tang Tang is safe, Tang Sheng was forced to cut off the connection due to the situation. Before disconnecting the optical computer, Tang Sheng only had time to say "Remember to contact me later" before the signal was cut off.
After a while, Tang Tang saw many mecha soldiers flying towards the place where the beasts were moving in front. Among these mecha soldiers, there were mecha soldiers from the Empire and mecha soldiers from the Federation. The mecha flying in the front was Tang Sheng's mecha.
In this situation, it would be a lie to say that Tang Tang was not worried at all, because it was obvious that the interstellar beasts in front were completely different from the big crabs he had eaten before.
For example, big crabs are just enlarged versions of crabs. In most cases, they will not actively attack, or their attack power is relatively low. They are ferocious beasts that can be controlled and raised.
But these are different. They are ferocious beasts with strong aggressiveness and destructive power. In just a short while, they have caused great damage to the stadium and seriously injured many people. Now the wounded have been taken to the emergency room by their companions, or have been taken to a hidden place for emergency treatment with medical kits. It is really unknown whether there are any deaths now.
In a situation like this, it would be strange if Tang Tang wasn't afraid or worried.
But she was completely unable to help here now, and assisting some of the audience to retreat was the best option she could do.
Tang Tang immediately stared at his brother in the air for a while, then gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said:
"Wen Xiaole, let's evacuate first. Make sure we're safe first. Do you know where the exit is? Can you give us directions?"
“I…I know.”
Wen Xiaole was only a junior military academy student. It was obvious that this was his first time encountering such a thing, and it was very likely his first time facing a ferocious beast head-on. Tang Tang could easily see the same trembling in him as in his own. However, Wen Xiaole still tried his best to remain calm, nodding his head desperately and saying:
"Okay, I'll guide you. Everyone, come this way. There's an exit here..."
At that moment, Tang Tang and others no longer hesitated, and hurriedly followed Wen Xiaole and walked straight to the exit. The exit over there was actually a backup exit provided for judges and contestants to enter and exit the competition venue, and they needed to go down to the underground floor to get there.
However, what Tang Tang and Wen Xiaole had not expected was that not long after they went down to the underground floor, a burst of loud screams of fear rang out from the stadium above. Along with the screams of fear, there was also a "buzzing" sound that sounded like the vibration of radio waves, or the frequency sound of some thin wings vibrating.
Before Tang Tang could react, someone behind him suddenly turned pale, looking extremely ugly. With a pale face, he said with fear and trembling:
"It's... it's the Sky Zerg. That's the chirping frequency they make when they find food and call out to their comrades. No, this is bad. The herd of strange beasts that appeared isn't just the ones we saw before. There are other strange beasts too. The Sky Zerg are flying in from other directions. And, moreover, the four exits on the field are going to be gone. If I remember correctly, the metal used to make the four exits is exactly the Sky Zerg's favorite metal food!!"
After hearing this, everyone in the field turned pale and suddenly understood what this person meant. He meant that the four exits of the stadium were attacked by sky Zerg. Although they didn't know where those sky Zerg came from, there was no doubt that the special metal used to build the exits of the stadium attracted them.
If there were more than one Sky Zerg above, then it's very likely that all four exits would be occupied by them. Anyone who hadn't had time to evacuate would be trapped and killed in the arena dominated by interstellar beasts, and they wouldn't even know there was a backup exit through the underground level!
"No, I can't watch so many people die in vain. We have so many Alphas here, let's turn back and tell the others to go this way. Betas and Omegas, you continue forward and don't worry about us. Just make sure you are safe."
An Alpha in the team said this. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was silent for a second, but soon, an Alpha responded. He stepped out of the team, nodded, and replied in a hoarse voice:
"Okay, I'm Alpha, I'll go with you."
So, not long after, more and more Alphas came out, and Gu Yang and Luo Qingmei were no exception. They nodded to Tang Tang and the others, and walked to the Alpha team.
The same went for Wen Xiaole. It was too late for him to copy the exit navigator to Tang Tang. He only had time to take down his own optical computer and hand it to Tang Tang, letting Tang Tang take over the navigation guidance position. Then he walked into Alpha's team.
Looking at the fearful yet determined figures walking ahead, Tang Tang felt her body and nerves tense even more than before. However, she tried to remain calm on the surface. She held Wen Xiaole's laptop tightly, took a deep breath, and raised her voice as she spoke:
"Come on, come on, everyone follow me, let's evacuate from here first!!"
Immediately, Tang Tang walked to the front without saying a word and took the lead.
Following behind her were Zhang Shang and Luo Dongyang. Luo Dongyang watched his sister Luo Qingmei disappear from his sight, his eyes red with anxiety, and he almost cried out in panic. But in the end, Luo Dongyang stared with his eyes wide open, holding back his tears, rubbed his face, and gritted his teeth to catch up with Zhang Shang and Tang Tang.
The road from the underground floor to the backup exit at the other end is actually not far, and it will take about fifteen minutes at most to walk out. However, for a group of people who are rushing on the road in the gloomy environment, these ten minutes will only be extremely painful. The time seems to be three times longer, as if there is no end in sight.
Moreover, after those Alphas turned back, they were never seen again. It was unknown whether the support team from the stadium above had arrived and rescued them, or whether they had encountered other new and unexpected situations.
But now, Tang Tang didn't dare to think about it anymore. The most important thing for them was to leave here first. Otherwise, no matter how much they thought about it or how much they worried about it, they would be helpless.
However, the alternative exit is almost here. The positioning navigator in my hand shows that it is only about two hundred meters away. The alternative exit will be visible after turning a corner.
Tang Tang had just thought of this and was about to turn, but at this moment, the bend suddenly became brighter, accompanied by the sound of footsteps. Tang Tang was so scared that she stopped suddenly and subconsciously protected Luo Dongyang and Zhang Shang who were running behind her.
However, although Tang Tang and the others stopped to protect Zhang Shang, Luo Dongyang and others, the others behind them did not stop. Instead, after seeing the light and hearing the footsteps that were clearly a group of people, their faces could not help but brighten with joy, and they subconsciously shouted:
"Are they reinforcements? Are those outside reinforcements? Are you here to support us?"
The group of people outside the backup exit did not answer immediately, but seemed to be talking to someone in a low voice.
Tang Tang couldn't hear clearly what was going on. He could only vaguely hear a few words like "found it", "here", "the system identified and located it here", etc. Tang Tang couldn't hear anything else. But after the group of people outside ended the call, they shouted towards Tang Tang:
"We are the reinforcements, here to support you. We are responsible for taking you to a safe place. Are you okay? If you are, please come out quickly. Time is urgent, so we will take you away first..."
After hearing this, the others no longer had any questions and quickly ran in the direction of the sound. Tang Tang, Zhang Shang and Luo Dongyang were no exception and also ran out.
As soon as they ran out, Tang Tang and the others realized that they were at the back of the stadium, and the stadium was a few thousand meters ahead.
It must be said that Tang Tang couldn't help but gasp when he saw the situation on the other side of the stadium from afar. He saw several huge bees and insects lying on several metal doors of the stadium, and even a few bees and insects hovering above the stadium. Those were the terrifying sky insects. A little further ahead, there were other highly aggressive beasts. The situation was terrifying.
Even though Tang Tang was now quite a distance away from the stadium, she could still faintly hear the tragic screams coming from the other side of the stadium.
However, the situation did not seem to be completely out of control, because next to the Sky Zerg hovering above the field, one could clearly see a number of mecha soldiers and small military aircraft.
Tang Tang recognized the mechas fighting fiercely in the front; they belonged to Huo Yan, Mu Changfeng, and her brother Tang Sheng! Nearby, rescuers were trying their best to save the wounded without irritating the Sky Zerg.
In other words, the current situation is still controllable and has not yet reached the point of being completely out of control, but there is obviously still a shortage of manpower. I don’t know whether the military district has sent any support. The speed seems a bit slow. The military district’s actions should be very fast, so why is it so slow now?
The higher-ups from both the Empire and the Federation are here, shouldn't they be able to come faster? Why are there so few people? It seems the only ones on the scene right now are the rescuers who were already at the stadium. It seems no other external support has arrived yet.
What's going on?
Suddenly, Tang Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the support troops behind him who were arranging other people to board the star ship.
The starships behind them were well-equipped small military starships, there were three of them, and they were indeed wearing the uniforms of federal rescue soldiers.
But these uniforms are very dirty, and some of them have a lot of blood stains. But this is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that there are some uniforms on these support soldiers that do not fit well. They are either too big or too small.
Moreover, not far to the side, there are two or three small civilian spacecraft parked there.
In Tang Tang's opinion, it was just an evacuation. Wouldn't it be enough to let them evacuate using civilian spacecraft? Why did they have to use military spacecraft? And why did they have to escort so many people along?
This wasn't right. In this situation, shouldn't the field be prioritized? Logically speaking, this group of people were almost out of danger.
If they were worried, they could have just sent one or two reinforcements and escorted them via civilian spacecraft. Why would they have gone to such great lengths and then not come back to help?
Thinking of this, Tang Tang's nerves became even more tense. When Zhang Shang was about to be taken on board the starship, Tang Tang suddenly grabbed him and pulled him down. He pretended to be ignorant and said to the person in front of him:
"Aren't there civilian spaceships over there? Why don't we use them to take us? Why don't you guys take these well-equipped small military aircraft back to the stadium to help?"
Tang Tang spoke in a loud voice, at least everyone around him heard it.
Those who were about to board the starship stopped, and those who had already boarded the starship subconsciously turned around and looked over here.
At this moment, Tang Tang could clearly see the man's face stiffen for a moment, as if he was stumped by the question. However, he reacted quickly and soon gave Tang Tang a 'brilliant' smile like a chrysanthemum. The next moment, he said:
"Don't worry, the military support troops have already arrived at the stadium. Their equipment and aircraft are better than ours. The situation will be under control soon, so we won't be needed for the time being. We will be responsible for getting you to a safe place. Once you reach a safe place, we can return to the stadium to help..."
Tang Tang did not understand the military knowledge in this area, and just felt that it was a bit strange. If the "support soldier" in front of him had only said that one sentence, Tang Tang might not have noticed more, but in the next moment, the other party said something "quite deadly".
The next moment, the person in front of him said, "Besides, we have a good relationship with Captain Wen. He asked us to rescue his grandchildren. You are Captain Wen's granddaughter, right? It is our responsibility to get you to a safe place."
Captain Wen Changping does not have a granddaughter, he only has a grandson, Wen Xiaole. However, because Wen Changping did not introduce Wen Xiaole to the public before his retirement, most people only know that Wen Changping has a grandson.
However, anyone who is familiar with Wen Changping would know that it is the grandson, not the granddaughter.
This directly illustrates one thing: Wen Changping definitely did not intend to do this, but they were targeting Wen Changping's grandchildren.
And their identities were definitely not "support soldiers," they were disguised "support soldiers"! They were even likely from outside the Federation Center, otherwise they wouldn't have known whether Wen Xiaole was a granddaughter or a grandson?!
All of a sudden, all the little details from before came together in Tang Tang's mind, such as the words "found it", "right here", the ill-fitting support soldier uniform, etc., which quickly made Tang Tang understand that the other party might have mistaken her for Wen Xiaole, and the evidence of their tracking was most likely Wen Xiaole's light brain, because Wen Xiaole's light brain was now in her hands.
So is she going to expose this lie and tell it?
But what can they do after it is exposed?
Right now, they had no self-defense tools, not even a capable Alpha. Meanwhile, the enemy was fully equipped with sophisticated equipment. If they were to reveal their secrets now, wouldn't they be reduced to helpless prey on the enemy's chopping block?!
In just a few tenths of a second, Tang Tang's brain was already working rapidly, but Zhang Shang behind him obviously didn't understand yet. He thought that the other party had recognized the wrong person, and subconsciously wanted to say something, but Zhang Shang had just uttered a syllable when he was pulled back by Tang Tang's extremely quick reaction.
Immediately, the next moment, Tang Tang grabbed Zhang Shang, quickly wrote something on Zhang Shang's palm, and spoke loudly, with an expression of "I see, that's how it is", "I'm relieved".
I only heard Tang Tang say this loudly:
"So it's Grandpa! If you had told me earlier, everything would be fine. I was just worried that Grandpa would send someone to look for me later, but I didn't expect you to come so soon. By the way, are you my Grandpa's admirers or friends?"
After hearing what Tang Tang said, many of the "support soldiers" laughed, but it was obvious that it was not a kind laugh, but a sneer of "disdain". But when they opened their mouths to speak, they became another look.
"No, that's Captain Wen. We soldiers wouldn't dare be friends with him. We just admired Captain Wen a lot in the past."
"Yes, that's right, but our team leader is quite special. He used to be good friends with Captain Wen. He really wants to get together with Captain Wen."
Their leader must be the one they had just spoken to, right? So, what they're doing now is trying to bring Wen Xiaole to their leader? And so, to have a proper "reunion" with Wen Changping?
So what about this accident now? Is it also related to them?
Tang Tang couldn't help but think so in her heart. Of course, her current identity was 'Wen Xiaole', so she had to continue this play, at least until rescue came.
Thinking of this, Tang Tang kept Wen Xiaole's light computer and threw his own light computer to the ground without leaving a trace.
This action happened to be seen by Luo Dongyang who was standing behind Tang Tang. He squatted down with the excuse of foot pain, and hid the laptop that Tang Tang had thrown on the ground in the more secluded grass. After making sure that those "support soldiers" could not find it, he followed Tang Tang onto the star ship.
After everyone boarded the star ship, the three small military ships set sail immediately. Just as Tang Tang expected, the small military ships did not fly towards the military area, but took another more bizarre route.
Just when the situation on Tang Tang's side was not good, the situation on the field was not good either.
Seeing that the military district's support troops were slow to arrive and even no one responded from the military district, several marshals on the federal side frowned, having a very bad premonition.
Facts have proved that this ominous premonition is correct, because the next moment, some guests from the Empire received some news and shouted in panic:
"It's the Federation! It's the Federation that wants to go to war with us! They want to use the 'Beast Tide' to kill us. This isn't an accident, it's intentional, orchestrated by the Federation. Several of our outer star regions have suddenly fallen, and the weapons left on the battlefield are Federation-made weapons! What else could they be but declaring war on our Empire?!"
The author has something to say:
Thanks for the grenade in the Matcha Frappuccino. Muah, love you~
