Chapter 501 Chenjiabao is already a thing of the past

 “Why are you looking at me like that?”

 Chen Fan said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I didn't force you to spar with me, and the bet was agreed upon, wasn't it?"

Wang Lingling was speechless.

  Yes, if it really comes down to it, she insists on discussing it.

As for the bet, it is also explained in advance.

It’s just that she didn’t expect that she would actually lose, or lose so easily.

 “I know, I will abide by the agreement.”

She was very depressed, muttered, turned around and walked outside.

Just help me, but don't expect her to risk her life for the people here.

No one dared to block her way, and besides, even if they had the courage, they probably didn’t have the strength, so they all made way for her.

  After watching her disappear at the door, someone whispered: "Just let her go like this? Why don't you sign a paper agreement or something? What if she leaves later?"

"yes."

 Many people reacted and looked at Chen Fan.

"Do not worry."

Chen Fan said with a smile: "That person is a warrior in the True Yuan realm. He is also a well-known figure in our Yan country. He can't talk without keeping his word."

If it were someone else, he would definitely do something to prevent the other person from going back on his word.

 But for that guy, it doesn’t matter, because before she gets the Secret of Immortality, even if someone drives her away, she won’t leave.

 “It would be even better if there were a few more masters.”

He sighed softly in his heart. He didn't expect them to follow him out of the city to kill the ferocious beasts. He could just stay in the city and kill some fish that slipped through the net.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brother Chen is right, he is a strong man in the True Yuan Realm and would not do such a shameless thing.”

"Yes, although that person has a bit of a arrogant temper, he should not be someone who doesn't keep his word and goes back on his words. It's because we use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman, hahaha."

“When I think about the day when the beast tide breaks out, there will be a True Yuan realm warrior who will help us guard the city, and I feel much more at ease.”

“Yes, including Brother Chen, we have two True Yuan Realm warriors in Anshan City. I think it is very possible to defend it.”

 “What does it mean to be very likely to defend? Does it mean that it is definitely possible to defend?”

“Yes, yes, I was wrong. I can definitely keep it, hahaha.”

 Suddenly, the originally depressing atmosphere in the hall became cheerful.

Only those who knew about it still had a somewhat forced smile on their faces.

 Having one more True Yuan realm warrior is naturally a big help.

 But this time the tide of beasts is not simple either.

“President, I still have something to do, so I’m going to take a step forward. You guys should go back and get some rest early.” Chen Fan said and glanced at the sky outside. It was already pitch black and it was officially night.

 It's time for him to go home and take a look.

 …

 A five or six-story residential building, in a room on the second floor, the living room was full of people.

 They are all familiar faces.

Zhang Ren, Liu Yong, Gu Jianghai, the Wei brothers, etc., all of them frowned at this moment, and their faces were extremely ugly. If there had been smoke, I am afraid that the living room would have been filled with smoke at this time, like a fairyland.

 Chen Guodong was also among them, with his brows furrowed, but compared to everyone present, he was slightly better off, because he had already been mentally prepared and knew that the beast tide would break out.

“Guodong, Xiaofan, aren’t you coming back?” Gu Jianghai asked aloud.

 Actually, they all came together as if they had made an appointment. In addition to wanting to hear Chen Guodong's opinion, they also wanted to ask Chen Fan what they should do.

 It’s not like they haven’t experienced beast tides before.

 But the previous few times, they were all in the small village. They were lucky enough to survive. Those who were unlucky would naturally have died long ago.

 But this time is too special.

 They are actually in the city.

"not yet."

Chen Guodong smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe he is busy and can't get away for a while. In this case, I will give him a call and ask."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Gu Jianghai waved his hands, "I just asked casually, Xiaofan should be busy, so for the time being, it's better not to disturb him."

 “Yes, yes.” Others also echoed.

 Zhang Ren on the side also nodded slightly.

He has been to the martial arts association and knows that Chen Fan's status in the association is not low. Even Sun Wei respects him very much in his words.

At this critical moment, he should be in the martial arts association, discussing countermeasures with everyone.

The next moment, he spoke out: "I know what everyone is worried about. Judging from my previous experience, the probability of Anshan City being attacked by ferocious beasts is actually very small."

 “Really? Lao Zhang?”

"It must be true. Lao Zhang was from Anshan City before and participated in the battle to defend the city." Liu Yong said loudly.

 “That’s right.”

Zhang Ren nodded and said: "Two years ago, a beast wave broke out in Anshan City. I was also in the city at that time to resist the attack of the beasts."

"And after that?"

Wei Tianyuan asked.

“The situation at that time was very critical. On several occasions, the city wall was breached by the crazy influx of ferocious beasts. A large number of ferocious beasts poured into the city through the gap, causing heavy casualties.”

 Everyone's face turned pale.

 “Fortunately, we still managed to hold on.”

Zhang Ren said: "Under the leadership of the Awakeners of the Awakened Association, all the ferocious beasts that broke into the city were killed, and the beast tide was repulsed. This lasted for about a week. It seemed that the ferocious beasts could not be seen. Break through and leave.”

 Chen Guodong and others breathed a sigh of relief.

 But they also know that this process must be extremely difficult, and even come close many times.

“Old Zhang, if the beast tide really comes, do we people need to go up to the city wall and fight the beasts?” Someone asked anxiously.

 With a flick of the brush, the room became quiet.

 This question is the second core question besides whether Anshan City can be defended.

  In the wild, after the beast tide broke out, they all immediately hid in the tunnels and took up weapons to fight the ferocious beasts. It was like an old man eating arsenic and becoming impatient.

But here, if the guards in the city really force them to defend the city, they have nothing to do.

The possibility of death is too high when climbing the city wall.

"Under normal circumstances, no." Zhang Ren shook his head and said: "After the beast tide breaks out, there will naturally be awakened people, warriors, and guards to resist it. But if the losses are too serious, ordinary people in the city will have to be mobilized to operate guns. Cannon, let’s deal with the ferocious beast.”

“Lao Zhang, what about the last time, ordinary people in the city?”

 Zhang Ren did not speak, but nodded silently.

 The tide of beasts. Standing on the city wall, at a glance, they are all ferocious beasts!

There are not only those running on the ground, but also flying in the sky. The ones that come out of the ground, especially the ones that come out of the ground, are the most terrifying!

Sometimes, people are walking well on the road, and suddenly they fall down with a pop, and then there is a creepy chewing sound from the ground.

Even if someone reacts and attacks with a thermal weapon, there is a high probability that it will be shot into the soil and the bullets will be wasted.

 In this case, let alone guards, the mortality rate of warriors is also very high. Ordinary people cannot withstand it unless they are forced to go to the battlefield.

Of course, if ordinary people climb the city wall, they will die faster...

 Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became quiet, with only the sound of everyone's breathing remaining.

 “Actually, this is what we should do.”

Chen Guodong sighed softly and said: "That President Li allows us to live in the city without spending a penny. To a certain extent, he has actually saved our lives."

"Yes." Wei Tianyuan said: "If we don't move in now, but are still in Chenjiabao, I am afraid that Chenjiabao will be overrun by ferocious beasts overnight, and those of us will die if we don't say anything. Half, the remaining half, even if they can temporarily hide in the tunnel, how long they can survive is still unknown."

"Brother Wei is right. In the village where I stayed, hundreds of people hid in the tunnels. As a result, more than half of them starved to death in less than a week. The remaining people had nothing to eat. In desperation, , I can only, I can only..." A middle-aged man did not say any more.

"Yes, we are already much luckier than those who live outside." Chen Guodong glanced at everyone, "So, those of us should go up to the city wall to resist the ferocious beasts, right? It's not Not only for Anshan City, but also for ourselves and our family."

 After saying these words, everyone was moved.

Everyone is afraid of death. After all, you only have one life. If it is gone, it is truly gone.

 But sometimes, you have to defend something with your life, such as the safety of your family.

 There are no intact eggs under the overturned nest. If Anshan City is destroyed, their fate will not be much better.

 Only if Anshan City is defended can their family survive.

"Guodong is right. Chenjiabao is a thing of the past. Now, we are all from Anshan City. We defend Anshan City not for others, but for ourselves and our families." ." Liu Yong said seriously.

“Yes, there is no Chenjiabao now, there is only Anshan City.”

 “Anshan City is our home.”

 Sounds sounded one after another.

The eyes of everyone gradually showed a look of determination.

"I saw today that the city is recruiting people to defend Anshan City. Only young and middle-aged men are required. For warriors, the salary is higher. We people can barely be considered warriors. In my opinion, why don't we go and sign up early tomorrow morning? , how about it?" Wei Tianyuan said with a smile: "When the time comes, let's go up to the city wall together and kill the ferocious beasts."

"Okay, let's go together. To be honest, these ferocious beasts have done us terrible harm. Now that I have this opportunity, I just want to kill more and avenge my dead relatives and friends!"

“Yes, count me among them. To be honest, I have wanted to touch a real gun for a long time. This time, I should have a chance.”

“Not only do you have the opportunity to touch a real gun, you also have the opportunity to fire it!”

 “Are you serious about firing guns?”

"Of course it's serious. Why, you don't think it's that kind of shooting, do you?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

  A burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the room.

Zhang Ren, who was always serious, couldn't help but have a smile on his face. He glanced at the many smiling faces present, with deep reluctance in his eyes.

When a tide of beasts comes, ordinary people are better off hiding in the city, but if they go up the city wall, they will only be used as consumables and will escape death.

With so many people here tonight, he may never see them again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...

To be selfish, he hopes that these people can hide at home and not come out. But if everyone in the city thinks like this, then who will go to the city wall to defend against the vicious beasts?

 If no one is willing to contribute, then when the time comes, a tide of beasts will rush into Anshan City, and everyone will die.

 The laughter gradually died down, and everyone in the room also became quiet.

Don’t they understand that if they go there, they will have a narrow escape from death?

  But it’s still the same sentence as before.

 They are now also a part of Anshan City. When they defend Anshan City, they are also protecting their families.

“Ahem, it’s getting late, and my sister-in-law also needs to rest. Let’s stop here tonight.” Someone coughed twice and said.

After all, some things are too sad to say. How is it appropriate for a group of old men to sit in a room and wipe their tears?

It’s better not to talk about it. We will know what the future will be like as we walk along.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s really getting late, let’s all go back and have some rest.”

“I hope the beast tide is just a joke played by the city lord’s palace, and everything will be business as usual by tomorrow.” Someone laughed.

"Yeah yeah."

 Everyone stood up one after another, talking and laughing, and walked towards the door.

 Chen Guodong sent everyone to the door, waving his hands and telling them to be careful on the road.

After a few minutes, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Zhang Ren, Liu Yong, and the Wei brothers.

 “Guodong, would you like to have a drink?”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Perhaps this is the last time for us old friends to get together."

 “Stop talking nonsense!”

Chen Guodong glared at him.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and have a drink."

 “Where to go?” Wei Tianyuan asked.

“Isn’t there a small restaurant not far downstairs? Just go there.”

 “Okay, let’s go together.”

The people looked at each other and walked downstairs.

 A figure looked at them from behind.

 After a long time, the figure withdrew his gaze, and then he let out a long sigh.

The figure is none other than Chen Fan.

 In fact, he had already arrived at the door, and he could hear clearly what was said in the room.

 While I was moved, I was also more sad.

He had already seen the fate of ordinary people in the face of the beast tide in the afternoon, and even holding hot weapons was of no avail.

 But they are still willing to risk their lives for their families.

 He didn’t want to break the atmosphere, so he didn’t knock on the door.

 As for his father's small gathering with Uncle Zhang and Uncle Liu, he didn't want to disturb it.

The only thing he can do is to do his best to defend Anshan City so that this hard-won beauty can continue.
