Chapter 576 The Shocking Scale Of The Beast Tide

Xu Yuan's question made the other party silent for a long time.

Very quickly, an excited voice was heard.

"Your voice... it's so familiar! Are you really Xu Yuan?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled. He had spent most of his time in the military, and only people from the military could recognize his voice from a single sentence!

Hence, he could confirm that the other party was the military from the Freedom Federation!

"That's right; it's me. I'm Xu Yuan, the military doctor."

"How did you contact this place? Are we close to each other?"

"We're about 100 kilometers apart," Xu Yuan said after looking at the map.

"Huh? So far away? Cloud City isn't that far from Ixdale!"

"How did you guys contact this place? Are you guys close to us?"

"No, we are in our stronghold," Xu Yuan denied once more. "We are more than 100 kilometers away."

"That's impossible. How did you guys connect to our signal here, then? Since when did the upper house have such capabilities?"

"Relax. "We had a friend from the Star Science Chamber of Commerce who gave us the technology that allowed us to communicate over long distances."

Xu Yuan didn't plan to tell them the whole story. After all, the other party was just a telephone operator, and they'd better report this to their higher-ups.

After all, once this incident was over, the Freedom Federation would be considered in the Star Science Chamber of Commerce's camp. This wasn't a small matter. It was a major event that could change the world!

The other party went silent and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you to meet the Star Science Chamber of Commerce's team. Their technology is indeed amazing, and I'm impressed..."

At that moment, Lu Yu walked over and pressed a button, "I'm Lu Yu. I need to talk to your officer. Call your captain out."

"Lu Yu... Alright, no problem. I'll call the captain over now. Please wait a moment."

After the conversation ended, Lu Yu and the others stood in place and waited.

Qin Yang continued to operate the control panel. His expression shifted from calm to nervousness to fear.

"Shit... Something big is going to happen!" Qin Yang nervously gulped.

"What? Something big is going to happen? Don't scare me." Wang Meng walked over and shouted loudly.

"Something really big is happening! A beast tide is coming!"

Lu Yu and the others' facial expressions hardened when they heard Qin Yang's words, and they all looked at the screen on the control panel.

"Did you see that? Although the scan cannot detect any living beings, we can see that the terrain has changed, and all the trees have collapsed!"

At that moment, Qin Yang enlarged the picture to the area near the bamboo forest.

Lu Yu took a closer look and saw that he could see some trees collapse and disappear every once in a while.

"A large area of trees is collapsing and getting crushed. This is not man-made."

"It seems like our battle triggered a beast tide," Lu Yu concluded with a frown.

Qin Yang nodded heavily. "That's right! The fire destroyed their area, and they began looking for a new place to rest. During this process, the beasts will be in a state of constant anger. If they encountered anyone, they would just attack them."

"Obviously, they can only go south and head toward the tropical rainforest rich in resources and water!"

"They can only return after the bamboo forest has been naturally restored."

Wang Meng chuckled. "That place has been burned to ashes. I'm afraid it will take a long time for it to recover."

Lu Yu stared at the map thoughtfully and commented, "They'll probably clash against our military if they head south, and there will be an intense battle."

"It's difficult to predict who will win, the beast tide or the military."

Qin Yang added, "That depends on the beasts. Some of the beast tides have a beast king, which could boost the horde's combat prowess. With a leader, their target will be clearer, and they will concentrate their firepower on one point. No one will be able to defend against them."

"However, some beast tides are just a group of frightened beasts gathering together. This is easy to deal with, as you just have to avoid them. You can also choose to scare them away if you have the means."

"In other words, we don't know the size or strength of this beast tide." Xu Yuan asked.

"That's right. We can only wait and judge when we see the actual situation. However, this beast tide is likely to encounter the military." Qin Yang looked at Lu Yu and continued, "If you guys want to reach the military before the beast tide, I'm afraid you'll have to leave now."

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and the others. "It seems that the earlier we leave, the better."

"That's right. Although we can warn them in advance through our communication, the risk still exists. If the beast tide is too strong, our presence may be of some assistance."

"We must join forces with them to deal with the Truth Department. If they're destroyed before we get there, there's no need to cooperate further."

Lu Yu believed that the military could defeat most of the beasts. However, even if they could, the losses would be incalculable.

Therefore, it would be best if Lu Yu and the rest could go and help.

At that moment, the signal tower sent back a signal from the military base.

"I'm Zhao Yan, the leader of the team here. Captain Lu Yu, please give me your orders!"

Due to the age restriction, the other party was young, and his position in the military wasn't high. Lu Yu's position as a captain was above his, and it was only a matter of time before Lu Yu was officially awarded the rank.

"I'll bring some people over to look for you immediately. You should be prepared."

"I know. I will welcome you with the greatest respect."

"The preparation I'm talking about is strengthening the fortifications of your stronghold. I've detected a massive beast tide heading south that will pass by your stronghold."

The other party went silent for a moment, surprised at Lu Yu's ability to obtain such information.

"A beast tide? We're not afraid of that, so you don't have to worry too much. We'll deal with that easily. However, we'll put more work into building the fortifications."

"Alright, get ready. I'll set off immediately and try to reach your location in a day."

"Roger that; I'm looking forward to seeing you!"

Lu Yu turned to look at Qin Yang and said, "You stay here and control the signal tower. You're in charge of transmitting the message between Zhao Yan and me."

Hearing this, Qin Yang immediately became excited. He didn't need to be locked up in his room; that was great!

"Good! I'll definitely guard the signal tower with all my might!"

Lu Yu then looked at Jiang Ning and said, "You take care of the stronghold and the mines. If this guy needs energy crystals, give them to him."

Jiang Ning looked at Lu Yu worriedly. "Aren't you going to rest a little more?"

Lu Yu heaved a long sigh. "No, there's no time for that..."
