The expressions of the senior executives in the conference room changed when they saw the video.
"It's only been two or three months since the last beast tide, how did the mutated beasts evolve and become so strong?"
"Yes, it completely overturned our understanding."
"I think these evolved humanoid mutant beasts have existed for a long time, but they didn't appear during the previous beast tides, so we didn't know about them."
"It should be. I suspect that the previous beast tide was secretly organized and directed by them."
"There's no need to speculate beforehand. Now that the energy cannon is completely suppressed, what do we do?"
"Among our ability users, aren't there some who have activated their elemental abilities by taking drugs? Why don't we send them to the Fourth District to provide support?"
"It wouldn't be of much use for them to go; their elemental energy is still too weak, and their strength is far inferior to those humanoid mutant beasts."
After all, their ability users don't have the power to suppress energy cannons; going there would just be suicide.
Everyone discussed this issue, but no one came up with a solution.
The old man looked at Qingyou and asked, "Do you have any ideas on your end?"
Qingyou said, "I think this beast tide attack is not simple. They seem to have gone mad, completely different from before."
"They also deployed so many hidden humanoid mutant beasts, so I suspect what factors led to and triggered their attack on the city."
She had a feeling that those mutated beasts, mutated plants, and mutated creatures weren't coming to attack the city this time; it was as if they had something very important to do if they wanted to rush in.
The old man frowned. "I also feel something's not right."
"But the key question now is, how do we defend the city?"
Without hesitation, Qingyou said, "Huo Xingchen and I will go to the Fourth District to defend the city."
The situation in the fourth district is tense and there's no time to lose, so she has no choice but to bring out her trump card ahead of time.
Everyone present was stunned when they heard her words.
"How will you two defend the city in the fourth district?"
"No, neither of you can go."
"Yes, you can't take the risk."
Qingyou is an ordinary person, while Huo Xingchen is a brain-based ability user; neither of them has high combat strength.
What if the two of them lose their lives while defending the fourth district?
They are humanity's most valuable scientific experts and hope; nothing can happen to them.
Just as Qingyou was about to speak, the old man's bracelet rang again.
Then his expression froze, clearly surprised and astonished.
He then projected the newly received video onto the screen again.
Everyone witnessed the mutated beasts forcefully breaching two walls of the fourth district in succession, creating several large holes in the energy shield, and the beast tide surged directly into the fourth district.
Then many people threw out the defensive talismans drawn by Qingyou, which held off the attack for a while.
Before the defensive shield shattered, everyone around was retreating.
But this beast tide was too fierce. After the defensive shield broke, even more mutated beasts poured in, and the defenders were simply unable to hold them off.
At that moment, a dozen people dressed in spacesuits similar to those worn before the Great Cataclysm appeared.
Then they charged into the beast tide.
The mutated beasts frantically tore at them, but it was no use; they couldn't tear the clothes at all.
These people were also very strong; they could lift a huge mutated beast with one hand and throw it over the city wall.
It can even kill a high-level mutated beast with a few punches, which is extremely powerful.
It's clear that their strength comes from the strange clothes they're wearing.
Before long, all the mutated beasts and plants that had attacked were either thrown out or killed by these people.
The video ends here.
After watching the video, Qingyou asked the old man, "Are these people from the Yan family and the Huo family?"
The old man was taken aback. "You knew?"
He only found out after receiving a message from the fourth district.
Qingyou replied, "I heard before that Ping Hongxi was leading two companies to research biological combat suits, and these people are wearing them now."
"They were originally going to hold a press conference before the levitation high-speed rail opened, but it was suddenly canceled and only came out now."
"I suspect that this beast tide may be related to the Yan family and the Huo family."
She found it strange. Logically speaking, Ping Hongxi wasn't the type to sit still, and the Yan and Huo families couldn't possibly keep delaying the release of the biological combat suit in order to break the deadlock. So why hadn't there been any news for several months?
Who would have thought that they would suddenly appear now, and even arrive in a way of saving lives, as if they had foreseen the beast tide all along.
She didn't believe such a coincidence could happen.
Therefore, she suspected that this sudden and unusual beast tide was related to these two families.
Hearing Qingyou's analysis, everyone present agreed that it made sense.
However, the appearance of the Yan and Huo families has averted the crisis of the city falling, which can be considered a contribution.
The old man thought for a moment and then instructed his men to investigate the Yan and Huo families thoroughly to see if they had done anything recently, or if there were any actions that might attract a beast tide attack on the city.
"Now we can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. We just hope they can withstand this beast tide."
Qingyou wanted to know what else the Yan and Huo families were planning.
So he said to the old man, "Could you have the Fourth District broadcast the battle situation live?"
Others were also curious and chimed in, "Yes, or we could have a video call with the head of the Fourth District."
The old man did not object and took the initiative to make a video call to the head of the fourth district.
After the other party connected, he asked them to switch to panoramic mode so they could watch the progress of the battle.
The district chief immediately switched to full-screen mode. He stood on the city wall and moved the camera constantly inside and outside the city wall.
Those in the conference room then witnessed the current situation.
