Back at the city wall of the base city, Lu Ning found that Li Yixing and the others were somewhat silent.
He asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong? The beast tide is over, but you guys don't seem very happy?"
Everyone snapped out of their daze. Colin's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Of course I'm happy. But something just feels a little strange."
Fang Lan's face turned red as she spoke, "That's right. We had come up with various ways to deal with the upcoming beast tide, but we didn't expect that the beast tide would end before we could do anything."
Others felt the same way.
I originally thought it would be a major battle.
After all, the number of monstrous beasts and mutated beings in the beast tide was enormous, and all the awakened beings present were already prepared to sacrifice themselves.
Who would have thought that Lu Ning single-handedly wiped out the beast tide?
This feeling left them with an indescribable sense of loss.
However, everyone recovered quickly.
For them, the end of the beast tide without any casualties was the best thing that could happen.
Lu Ning's formidable strength was truly astonishing.
Afterwards, Fang Lan began to take stock of the losses with the guards.
The Awakened suffered no losses, not even injuries.
On the defending side, dozens of soldiers were injured or killed due to machine guns and soul crystal cannons exploding, but the calamity beasts and mutated creatures that rushed onto the city walls did not even cause any deaths.
Apart from that, there were only losses in terms of weapons.
This meager loss seemed almost unreal to Fang Lan.
That's too little.
The credit for this is primarily due to Lu Ning's personal abilities.
Fang Lan immediately said she would report Lu Ning's contributions.
The other awakened individuals, though aware of Lu Ning's immense contributions, felt no jealousy whatsoever.
After all, they simply don't have that kind of strength.
Moreover, if Lu Ning hadn't cleared the beast tide, the number of casualties would probably be even greater, and it's uncertain whether they themselves would have survived.
After that, the guards cleared the battlefield, while the awakened ones went their separate ways.
All the awakened ones who come to help will eventually receive a reward.
When Lu Ning, Colin, and the others returned to the Seventh Division, they met Yu Ran, Qin Feng, and the others in the lobby.
Yu Ran looked worried. When she saw Colin and the others return, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and ran over.
Are you alright?
Yu Ran looked at everyone, checking if anyone was injured.
Qin Feng was somewhat confused: "How could it end so quickly? I just heard that the firearms only stopped. Was the beast tide relatively small this time? It was resolved solely with firearms?"
As a veteran of the action team, Qin Feng had also experienced the beast tide, so he naturally knew what the beast tide was like.
Normally, the real bloody battle should begin next.
I didn't expect Colin and the others to be back so quickly.
and……
Qin Feng glanced at the group and found that they didn't even show any signs of fighting.
Colin, Li Mu, and the others exchanged glances.
Wang Qiwen said blankly, "It's over. Lu Ning killed all the remaining monsters and infected people by himself."
"Huh?" Yu Ran and Qin Feng looked bewildered, seemingly not quite understanding what Wang Qiwen meant.
After Colin and Li Mu explained, Yu Ran and Qin Feng looked at Lu Ning as if they had seen a ghost.
Yu Ran looked Lu Ning up and down, exclaiming repeatedly, "Lu Ning, you're actually this amazing?!"
Lu Ning calmly said, "It's alright, not too powerful, not even as good as a Saint."
Qin Feng's lips twitched: "...You, a sixth-order Awakener, already want to compare yourself to a Saint?"
Yu Ran patted Lu Ning on the shoulder with great surprise: "I never expected our branch to produce such a big shot! I can brag about this for ages! I still remember when you first came, the captain was guiding you, and you didn't know anything..."
At this point, Yu Ran's smile gradually faded, and her eyes dimmed as she said, "It's a pity that the captain can't see it."
Li Mu smiled and said, "If the captain knew how powerful Lu Ning is now, he would definitely be very happy."
Colin, Wang Qiwen, and Qiu Yuelin also nodded slightly.
Wang Qiwen grinned: "With his auntie-like personality, he'll definitely be overjoyed."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
…………
The beast tide crisis ended quickly.
The main reason is that the loss was not significant.
This did not cause much of a stir in the base city.
However, the changes in the Fog of No. 233 have not disappeared.
After the beast tide ended, Fang Lan immediately dispatched scouts to investigate the situation in the mist.
The investigation revealed that the spread of the fog did not stop, nor did its speed slow down as the beast tide disappeared.
At this rate, the fog will engulf the entire Base City 116 in less than two months.
Even other base cities in other directions of the fog are at risk of being swallowed up.
The next day, the headquarters issued an urgent notice that a Saint would lead a Mist Exploration Team into Mist No. 233 to investigate the root cause of this mist anomaly.
Li Yihang also relayed Lu Ning's request. The General Administration had already learned about Lu Ning's strength during the incident at Base City 121 and had agreed to let Lu Ning join the Mist Exploration Team.
When Lu Ning received this news, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he also had some expectations, wondering if he could get some clues about the long years he had spent in the fog of No. 233.
Two days later, Li Yihang approached Lu Ning again, saying that the reward for his merits had been announced.
