Chapter 498 Leaving without saying goodbye

 Everyone in the large conference room felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their minds were buzzing and their mouths were half-opened, but they could not utter a single word.

 Because in their understanding, strong men like their president had already thought of a way out when they heard the news.

Moreover, with his strength, as long as he wanted to, which large city in the Yan Kingdom could not be visited? Even if it is those three very large cities, it is not difficult to go there.

 It is very rare to be able to tell them the news one or two days in advance.

 But, the president actually said just now that he would stay?

“Yes, you heard me right, and I didn’t make a mistake.”

Chen Fan looked at everyone calmly, "I will stay and guard Anshan City until the day the city is broken."

his words, every word, echoed throughout the conference room and struck everyone's heart.

 Many people’s faces immediately showed a hint of joy.

 Because not everyone has a way out.

Most of them are D-level awakened ones. For ordinary people, they are very powerful, but among the awakened ones, they are well-deserved at the bottom. After leaving Anshan City, they don't know where to go.

 But if the president stays, can I and my family continue to stay?

 But more people are still worried.

  According to what the president said before, the ferocious beast is serious this time, and Anshan City cannot stop it.

 Xie Ming and others also woke up from the shock at this moment.

 They looked at me, and I looked at you, and they couldn't help but wonder if they were dreaming.

  "Okay, I've finished talking about the matter. This is the end of the meeting."

Chen Fan glanced at the wall clock and walked towards the audience.

                     ice, president.

 Some people raised their hands and asked with a hint of prayer in their eyes: "What about us? Should we stay or leave?"

“Yes, President, if you stay, we will follow you. Is there any hope of defending Anshan City?”

“President, you are so powerful, please teach us what we should do?” Several voices also sounded.

Chen Fan paused and did not look back. Instead, he slowly said: "The situation this time is different from the past. I will not order you as the president again. Therefore, no matter what choice you make, you Just don’t regret it.”

 After saying that, he walked out.

 “President!”

 “President!”

Looking at Chen Fan disappearing in front of their eyes, everyone seemed to have lost their backbone and sat slumped on their chairs.

 The huge conference room fell silent once again.

Someone noticed that Hua Jun was still sitting there and immediately said: "President Hua, will you stay, or will you?"

 Everyone’s eyes are focused on him.

 “I should probably stay.”

Hua Jun smiled bitterly.

 Once he comes, if he doesn't stay, he seems to have no place to go.

Secondly, a voice in his heart told him that he should trust the president.

Since he dares to make such a decision that is beyond everyone’s expectations, is it possible that, although this beast wave is extraordinary, Anshan City may still be able to hold on in the end?

 Everyone's expressions brightened.

“However, the president is right, this kind of thing still depends on your own choice.” Hua Jun smiled bitterly, stood up and walked towards the door.

 “Brother, us?”

  One of Xie Ming's group asked in a low voice, with an ugly look on his face.

 They have already decided to leave this place.

The reason why I came here to tell Hua Jun is that I want to contact President Li through him and see if we can all go along together so that we can get some glory.

 In the end, I never expected that President Li would choose to stay...

Then what should they do?

 Stay too?

They don’t have the strength of A-level awakeners. When the city is destroyed, they may not be able to leave even if they want to.

Walk?

 Let alone large cities, even medium-sized cities are not easy to enter for C-level awakened people like them on weekdays. Nowadays, it is even more eventful, and there may be many dangers on the road.

 “Let’s go.”

 Xie Ming gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.

 Since we already know that staying here is a dead end, it is better to leave here, maybe there is a glimmer of hope.

“No, why don’t you go and tell the president?” the woman hesitated.

 After all, they have been here for a while.

 If you go and say it, maybe there will be a chance of a change?

"It's not necessary." The third child saw her inner thoughts and sighed: "Didn't you hear the president say that no matter what decision we make, he will not stop it, go or If we don't go, the result will be the same. If we say goodbye without saying goodbye, he can understand and there will be less embarrassment between us."

The people were silent for a moment, then stood up and walked outside the house.

Everyone looked at this scene, and their hearts were ready to move.

Brother Xie and the others are all genuine C-level awakeners. If we can leave with them, the journey should be much smoother.

 As for when the time comes, can we also enter the city?

This issue can only be discussed at that time. No matter what, it is better than staying here and waiting to die, right?

So, after hesitating for a moment, someone got up and quickly followed.

 More people are still sitting on their chairs, not knowing what to do.

"Let me tell you, let's stay." Someone said, "We are originally from Anshan City. At this time, isn't it right to stay and guard Anshan City?"

“I also think that we were able to defend against the previous beast tides, didn’t we?”

"Huh, you said it the last few times," a cold snort sounded, "didn't you hear what the president just said? This time is different from the previous times. It is comparable to the time ten years ago. Do you think , if it was ten years ago, could Anshan City be defended?"

"Even if this time is not on the same scale as ten years ago, it is still very difficult for those of us. Have you forgotten so quickly how many people will die in Anshan City every time the beast tide breaks out? Not only ordinary people People, we awakened ones, a lot of people died."

 The meeting room became quiet again.

 Yes, even if they defend, many of them will die.

"Then if we leave, where can we go?" Someone sighed, "Only small cities will take us in, right? The awakened ones recruited by those medium-sized cities must be at least C-level, right?"

"Maybe they will accept it?" Someone said with luck: "It used to be calm, but now the situation is different. A large number of manpower is needed to defend the city. Although we are only D-level awakeners, our effect is better than those of ordinary people and warriors. Is it a lot?"

“That’s true, maybe you can give it a try?”

 After leaving the conference room, Hua Jun did not return to his office. Instead, after turning a few corners, he came to the door of Chen Fan's office.

Just as he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, a voice came from inside the house.

"come in."

Hua Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried on the way here. The chairman was not in the office but went somewhere else.

 But this possibility should be very small.

After opening the door and entering, a figure was standing in front of the window, looking into the distance.

Hua Jun closed the door softly and asked in a low voice: "President, did you expect that I would come?" "It was not expected."

Chen Fan turned around, looked at him and said, "I just guessed that you might come over."

With that said, he walked behind the desk and sat down on the office chair, "Tell me why you are looking for me. If you want to listen to my advice, there is no need."

"Need not."

Hua Jun said hurriedly: "President, I have thought about it, and I also choose to stay and guard Anshan City with you."

"are you sure?"

 Chen Fan asked.

"Sure."

Hua Jun gritted his teeth and then nodded heavily.

 “Okay, as long as you don’t regret it.”

 Chen Fan nodded.

                               ?)

Hua Jun was startled.

 “What, do you think something is strange?”

 “Yes, it’s a bit.”

Hua Jun smiled bitterly and said: "I thought, President, you would tell me how dangerous it is to stay and let me think about it carefully."

"It is indeed dangerous to stay. Even I am not sure of victory."

Chen Fan sighed lightly, "But I also said that I will not interfere with your choice. Since you have decided to stay, then come with me to start preparations. If nothing else happens, the beast tide will be here tomorrow."

 “Yes! President!”

 Hua Jun's body trembled, and his eyes showed excitement.

 He also came here to see if the president really wanted to stay.

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

 There was no impassioned pre-war mobilization, but he knew that his president was such a person.

 As for the fate of Anshan City after the arrival of the beast tide.

 All I can say is, do your best and obey the destiny.

 …

 Time passes slowly.

 Ordinary people in the city also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Large numbers of guards appeared on the city wall. Trucks loaded with arms were driving on the road one after another. There were also many guards patrolling the city with guns and ammunition. At the same time, notices were posted on eye-catching places in the city. place.

 The people around him immediately gathered around to watch.

Not long after, everyone's face turned pale, their bodies kept shaking, and even worse, they almost fell to the ground.

 This is a recruitment revelation.

Because the beast tide is about to break out, the city lord's palace is currently urgently recruiting young and middle-aged men to join the army to defend the city and receive generous treatment.

  If you are a warrior, there are additional rewards.

 Those who are interested can go to the City Lord’s Mansion immediately to register, which is valid for a long time.

Such notices were plastered all over the streets and alleys. They were passed on to tens of thousands and hundreds of people. Soon, they spread throughout Anshan City.

The originally bustling Anshan City immediately fell silent, and an emotion called fear floated in the air.

 After all, everyone who has survived to this day has experienced more than one beast tide and knows exactly what these two words mean.

 Some people saw the opportunity, and after hesitating for a moment, they resolutely walked towards the city lord's mansion.

  Instead of waiting for death in the city, it is better to take up arms and fight the ferocious beasts outside the city.

After all, they were reduced to this state because of the ferocious beasts. If it weren’t for President Li of the Anshan City Awakener Association to take them in, they would still be in the wild and would not be able to sleep well at night.

Moreover, if you become a guard, the City Lord's Mansion will not only provide you with three meals a day, meat for every meal, and a supply of firearms and armor, but you can also get a good salary. If you are really unfortunate and die in battle, your family members can also get a salary. A generous pension.

 This kind of condition is already quite good for ordinary people like them.

Of course, some people noticed that just when the situation in the city was tense, some vehicles drove out of the city in groups, and some people looked inside through the windows.

 I saw that in addition to adults, there were also old people and children in the car.

In addition, there were a few familiar faces. They were so frightened that they quickly looked away. They didn't dare to look any further. They could only mutter in their hearts that the person in the car seemed to be the Awakened One, right? Where are they driving to at this time? You're still bringing your family with you. Could it be that you plan to leave here?

Awakened Association, a spacious office is filled with desks, with many people sitting behind them, and the sound of typing on keyboards is endless.

Several people in military uniforms were sitting at attention, not daring to make a sound.

From time to time, someone comes in, then takes a document and leaves in a hurry.

"Jingle Bell."

There was a rapid ringing on the phone. Hua Jun answered the phone. After a few hums, he hung up the phone and looked at Chen Fan with a complicated expression. "President, Xie Ming and the others left just now."

 The sound of keyboards in the room suddenly stopped, and many people had looks of shock on their faces.

At such a critical time, how many C-level awakeners in the city actually left?

This, this, this?

"Um."

 Chen Fan nodded.

This result was not beyond his expectation. After all, if they wanted to stay, they would have come long ago, why wait until now.

He glanced at the sky. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the sky was filled with brilliant rays of light. It was like the calm before a storm.

 The next moment, he stood up and said:

“Starting from today, the patrols in the city will be changed to 24 hours a day. No matter who dares to start a riot at this time, they will be killed without mercy.”

"yes!"

Hua Jun responded hurriedly.

The guards in military uniforms also immediately stood up and saluted.

After leaving the Awakened Ones Association, Chen Fan took out the Martial Arts Association's mobile phone and saw that there were more than ten missed calls on it, many of which were from Gu Ze. He also sent several messages with a very urgent tone.

 Other calls were from Sun Wei and others from the Martial Arts Association. Apparently, they saw the notices posted by themselves in the afternoon.

 The family members, because they had already received the notice and were mentally prepared, did not send any information.

“I have to go back again, whether it’s the martial arts association or the village.”

Chen Fan thought to himself, put away his cell phone, and walked in the direction of the Martial Arts Association.

 After finishing these things, it was time for him to learn the Immortality Secret he had obtained to improve his combat power.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation in his heart.

Even if the longevity formula in the third volume is only a supreme level martial arts, it is not comparable to ordinary supreme level martial arts.

 I don’t know what effect it will have after raising it to the perfect state.
