Chapter 106 Building a Line of Defense

Chapter 106 Building a Line of Defense
After Liu Bo and Kong Xiang drove the brick-carrying truck away from the brick factory, they did not escape alone. Instead, they drove the truck directly to the town.

Before Xu Shisan left, they specifically promised him that they would take good care of Xia Keer.

Alarms are now sounding everywhere, and the entire Dongxiang Town is in great crisis. It is very likely that ferocious beasts are attacking the city. How could the two of them abandon Xia Ke'er, Chen Xi and the others and run away together?

So Liu Bo and Kong Xiang drove the truck to find Xia Keer.

As soon as they drove to the intersection, Liu Bo and Kong Xiang saw Xia Keer and Chen Xi.

"Ke'er, Xixi, you two, get in the car!"

Seeing that it was Liu Bo and Kong Xiang, Xia Keer and Chen Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease. They then hurriedly got on the truck.

Afterwards, Liu Bo and Kong Xiang drove the truck straight to the orphanage.

More than a minute later, Liu Bo and Kong Xiang stopped at the entrance of the orphanage and took Grandma Zhang and all the children in the orphanage into the car.

When they stopped at the orphanage, the residents who were fleeing in the surrounding areas saw that Liu Bo and Kong Xiang had a car, and they hurried over there, wanting to get in the car and escape together.

In response, Liu Bo and Kong Xiang stood in front of everyone.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to get on the bus before the elderly and children?! I warn you, no one is allowed to get on!"

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke up: "We can not go up, can we let our wives and children go up?"

Hearing this, Liu Bo spoke again: "Sure! Elderly people, children, and women will be given priority."

With Liu Bo's permission and without giving anyone time to think, the residents of Dongxiang Town immediately sent their wives, children and elderly parents to Liu Bo's truck.

Soon, Liu Bo's truck was almost full of people.

You know, Liu Bo's truck is used to transport bricks and can carry dozens of tons of cargo at a time. The huge open-air compartment at the back can easily squeeze in two or three hundred people.

Now, there are only more than a hundred people accommodated, and there is still a lot of space.

Afterwards, Liu Bo and Kong Xiang hurriedly drove the car, carrying the elderly, children and women, and evacuated Dongxiang Town to the north.

On the way of evacuation, Liu Bo would stop the car to let the elderly, children and women get in when he saw them, until the back of the car was completely full of people.

The gentlemen in Dongxiang Town, seeing that the people behind Liu Bo's carriage were all women and children, consciously gave way to them and refused to get on the car. At most, they asked Liu Bo to take their wives and children with them.

In this way, Liu Bo and Kong Xiang took two or three hundred women and children and quickly evacuated Dongxiang Town.

In the Dongxiang Control Station, after Xu Dasheng sounded the alarm, Dongxiang Control Station Detachment Captain Sun Youkun, Detachment Captain Feng Peng, Deputy Captain Liu Quan, and all the summoners in Dongxiang Town all quickly came to Xu Dasheng's side.

"Captain, why did you sound the alarm?"

As soon as they met, Liu Quan couldn't help but ask about the captain Xu Dasheng.

They were all very familiar with this alarm, as it was a red alert that would only be sounded when ferocious beasts attacked the city.

Every three years, Dongxiang Town conducts an early warning drill, but now is not the time for the drill. Could it be that the captain accidentally pressed the button?

But this is simply impossible!
Xu Dasheng didn't say any more nonsense and replied directly: "More than 30 kilometers to the east, there is a wave of beasts attacking Dongxiang. It will reach us in 20 minutes at most."

"W-what?! Beast Tide?!"

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

They were within the walled territory, more than a hundred kilometers away from the wall. How was it possible for a beast tide to occur?

"Captain, what should we do now? Should we run away?" Liu Quan couldn't help but ask, trembling with fear.

The beast tide that caused the captain to sound the red alert is a disaster that could destroy the entire city!

Not only Liu Quan was afraid, but Sun Youkun, Feng Peng and others were also afraid.

Just when everyone thought that Captain Xu Dasheng would take them away, Xu Dasheng slapped Liu Quan in the face.

"Run? Where to run?! The residents of the town haven't evacuated yet, where should we run? Do you want to abandon the people of Dongxiang and run away by yourselves?!"

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Liu Quan quickly denied.

"Notify Wang Dayong and his men, and order them to immediately evacuate all residents of Dongxiang safely. Use all available means of transportation to evacuate all personnel who can be evacuated!"

After that, Xu Dasheng ordered again: "All of you, follow me!"

"Let's go? Captain, where are we going?" Liu Quan couldn't help but ask again.

"Go and stop the ferocious beast and buy time for the people of Dongxiang to evacuate." Xu Dasheng said in a loud voice.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and couldn't help swallowing.

Are they going to stop the ferocious beast?
How can these people, just a few low-level summoners, stop the ferocious beasts?

Without waiting for anyone to question him, Xu Dasheng spoke again in an extremely tough tone: "If anyone dares to say another word of nonsense, I will kill him immediately! Let's go!" After that, Xu Dasheng strode out of the control center and headed for the wasteland east of Dongxiang to establish a defense line.

Sun Youkun, Feng Peng, Liu Quan and others quickly followed the captain without saying a word.

Dongxiang Town Training Camp.

After hearing the alarm that resounded throughout Dongxiang, the chief instructor of the training camp, Huo Shoucheng, immediately received Xu Dasheng's radio message.

Xu Dasheng told him that a ferocious beast was attacking the city to the east of Dongxiang and would arrive in less than twenty minutes. The commander of the Second Military Region, Yuan Zhengshan, ordered all combatants in Dongxiang to set up a defense line and evacuate the residents to safety.

After receiving this news, Huo Shoucheng also looked solemn.

He quickly walked to the training ground and blew the assembly whistle again.

In less than a minute, all 372 trainees and eight instructors of the Dongxiang training camp gathered.

Huo Shoucheng felt tormented as he looked at the group of immature children in front of him.

He said, "To your east, a large number of ferocious beasts are invading this way. The people from the Second Military District of Shanhe District have already established the first line of defense there. I have received orders to establish the second line of defense with your Instructors Wang and Zhao."

"Although you are also a summoner now, you are still young. As the future of Dragon Country, you need to evacuate with the residents when encountering such a disaster."

"But, I have made a decision in my mind, and I will give you two choices."

"The first option is that you immediately follow the residents of Dongxiang for safe transfer and quickly retreat in the north-south direction."

"The second option is that you follow us to the east and establish a second line of defense in the wasteland five kilometers away from Dongxiang."

"Before you make your choice, I solemnly tell you that this is not the daily training I taught you. If you go this time, you may never come back."

"Now, it's your turn to make a choice. Those who choose to evacuate, take a step back. Those who choose to follow me to build a defense line, take a step forward!"

As soon as Huo Shoucheng finished speaking, all 372 trainees in the Dongxiang training camp took a step forward at the same time with a "swish" sound!
Although these half-grown children have childish faces, they are more determined than anyone else at this moment!

Seeing this, Huo Shoucheng's nose felt sore and his eyes suddenly became moist.

"Okay! I was right about you. Today, let me personally lead you in a real battle. This will be the first real battle in your life, and it may also be the last real battle in your life!"

"Zhao Heng, Wang Tao, prepare for flight!"

Following Huo Shoucheng's order, Instructors Zhao and Wang at the side immediately summoned their manned flying summoned beasts. Then more than 300 trainees of the Dongxiang training camp all jumped on and flew towards the east.

Dongxiang Town Street.

At this moment, the entire Dongxiang Town was in chaos.

Zhou Chengtian, the leader of the Chengtian Gang, fled to the northwest and southwest surrounded by his gang members.

But there was a sound of flying objects passing by in the sky. Zhou Chengtian looked up and saw Huo Shoucheng leading all the trainees in the training camp on flying summoned beasts, flying towards the east.

One goes east, the other goes west, and the two sides go in opposite directions.

Zhou Chengtian knew that as summoners, it was their duty to protect ordinary residents, so they must have gone to stop the ferocious beast.

And they, the ordinary residents, must evacuate under their cover.

Looking at the residents fleeing around, they knew that Chengtian Gang had collected protection fees from almost all of them and had exploited them.

Now, we have to run ahead of them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chengtian suddenly stopped and stopped running.

Liu San, who had dyed yellow hair and collected protection fees from Xia Ke'er, saw that the leader was not running away, and immediately urged him: "Boss, why don't you run away? This beast is about to attack us. If you don't run now, you won't be able to escape."

"Run? Why are you running? Are you trying to get ahead of those kids? Or should we, the Chengtian Gang, let the Dongxiang people die for us first? Can you outrun the beast?!"

"Boss, what should we do?"

"Send a signal to gather all members of Chengtian Gang!"

"Yes!"

Liu San didn't say any more nonsense. He took out two fireworks he carried with him and lit them with a flint.

With a loud "bang", two gorgeous colorful fireworks exploded from the sky.

The Chengtian Gang members who were fleeing in panic couldn't help but stop when they saw the two fireworks.

Most people made up their minds not to run away and quickly headed to where the fireworks were being set off.
