High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

An hour later, Han Xu led Chen Fan to an office and pushed open the door.

The six people who were sitting inside the room immediately stood up and looked over here, or rather, at Chen Fan.

Clearly, they were the B-level Awakened team that Han Xu had mentioned earlier. There were six people in total, four men and two women. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties and was quite composed.

The people behind him were all in their early twenties, not yet thirty, and dressed quite fashionably, or rather, in a flashy way.

Especially the two women, one with her hair dyed red and the other with her hair dyed green, gave Chen Fan the illusion of going back to the past.

Han Xu glanced at them, then turned around and politely said to Chen Fan, "Brother Li, this is the War Soul Squad I mentioned before, and this is Qin Jin, the captain of the War Soul Squad."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man at the head nodded to Chen Fan with a friendly smile on his face.

"Once we return to Anshan City, Brother Li, if you have any plans, just tell him. He will definitely handle it well." As soon as Han Xu finished speaking, Qin Jin took the initiative to say, "The chairman is right. One who eats the food of others should be loyal to the emperor. Chairman Li, if you have any tasks, just give the order."

He had already learned about the background of the person in front of him and this mission from Han Xu half an hour ago.

Even without the bounty of one million points, he wouldn't dare to disobey in the slightest. Not to mention, there was a reward this time, and the Chairman Li in front of him was also their employer.

"it is good."

Chen Fan nodded, glanced at the time, and said, "President Han, if there's nothing else, I'll take my men and leave now."

"Of course, of course."

Han Xu hurriedly said, "Anshan City is currently fraught with danger. It's already very kind of you, Brother Li, to be able to spare a little time for me. If you need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

The members of the War Soul Squad were all surprised when they saw this.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded, then his gaze swept over the members of the Battle Soul Squad, finally landing on Captain Qin Jin. "Do you need to prepare any more? This mission is quite dangerous; if you're careless, you could lose your lives."

"It's just a beast tide, what's there to be afraid of?" the red-haired woman snorted, seemingly feeling slighted by Chen Fan and a little unhappy.

"That's right, we've been ready for a long time and can set off at any time."

"President Li, don't worry, with us here, Anshan City will definitely be able to be defended."

The remaining young men also spoke up.

"cough."

Qin Jin coughed and glanced at the group, which then quieted them down.

"Chairman Li."

He smiled and looked at Chen Fan, saying, "President Han notified us half an hour in advance, so we are ready to depart at any time. As for the dangers, we are aware of them and will proceed with caution."

After saying that, he glanced at Han Xu and nodded.

"Alright, let's go then. Chairman Han, I'll go first."

"Alright, alright, Brother Li, take care on your journey." Han Xu watched Chen Fan leave, sighing inwardly.

He admired Chen Fan's courage, but was not optimistic about the other's future.

I just hope that he can escape safely on the day Anshan City falls.

The group of seven left Juque City and headed towards Anshan City.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber.

After all, the two had only just met, and Chen Fan was as cold as ice. Even if someone wanted to start a conversation, they would most likely swallow their words.

Actually, Chen Fan, who was at the very front, was also feeling quite uncomfortable.

On the one hand, he wasn't a very outgoing person; on the other hand, the people behind him were a bit slow, so he had to deliberately slow down. As a result, the dull atmosphere lasted even longer.

"never mind."

After thinking it over, he decided not to wrong himself anymore, so he stopped.

"Chairman Li?"

The people behind him also stopped. Qin Jin asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you want to rest for a while?"

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I just received news that something happened in Anshan City that I need to deal with, so I'll go ahead first, and you can catch up later."

"what?"

Qin Jin was taken aback.

Before he could react, Chen Fan had vanished without a trace.

"Left? Gone?"

A young man exclaimed in surprise.

"Wow, you're just leaving like that?"

"It's good that you left first; it was so boring just now," the green-haired woman muttered.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and catch up." Qin Jin frowned, then quickly followed.

He felt that what the other party said about the sudden incident in Anshan City was probably just an excuse. The other party was probably testing them, not only their character but also their abilities.

If they were truly unhurried and arrived in Anshan City half a day later, that person might not say it, but in their heart they would definitely give them a low score.

If the matter gets reported to Chairman Han, he won't have the face to go back.

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

The remaining five looked at each other, and finally followed.

"Honestly, why is the captain so agitated?" the green-haired woman complained. "They already said they'd go ahead, so let's just keep going at our original pace."

"Yes, if this continues, my mental strength won't last much longer."

"Alright, that's enough, everyone."

A man who hadn't said much turned around and glanced at them, saying, "Have you all forgotten what Chairman Han told everyone before?"

The noisy sounds disappeared instantly.

"Is that guy really as amazing as Chairman Han said?" The green-haired woman glanced around and muttered to herself, "He doesn't look anything special. He's not handsome at all."

"that is."

These words immediately resonated with the red-haired woman, who pouted and said, "He's not just not handsome, he's practically an average-looking guy, the kind you'd disappear into a crowd. Even Xiao Zhang from our team is much more handsome than him."

"Sister Qing, what do you mean by that?" a young man beside him said unhappily, "What do you mean that even Xiao Zhang in our team, I was the most handsome guy in high school, okay?"

"alright."

Qin Jin, who was at the forefront, suddenly slowed down. After the others caught up, he said with a serious expression, "Have you never heard the saying 'You can't judge a book by its cover'? Chairman Li's appearance is indeed average, but I can sense an unfathomable aura from him. He is definitely an A-level Awakener, without a doubt."

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent again, their eyes darting away.

Indeed, the difference in strength between B-level Awakeners and A-level Awakeners is simply too great; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a complete crushing defeat.

"Captain, is it true that just a few of them could hold off more than 200,000 ferocious beasts?" someone asked.

"I'm not sure."

Qin Jin shook his head. "However, since Chairman Han said so, it should be quite credible. Moreover, he brought materials of more than three thousand elite-level ferocious beasts with him when he came to our association this time. There will only be more mid-to-high-level ferocious beasts. It's hard to fake this kind of thing. After we arrive in Anshan City, we only need to ask the people in the city to find out what's going on."

"That's right, the truth will out, and falsehood will become truth. We'll find out the truth by asking around."

"Hmph, if it's fake, I'll definitely tell Chairman Han later," the green-haired woman said smugly.

This guy surnamed Li is not only average-looking, but he also acts all aloof, which annoys her.

Of course, out of consideration for the payment and Chairman Han's reputation, she would outwardly cooperate obediently, unless she were out of her mind to openly contradict him.

"What if it's true?"

"Really, really, just pretend I didn't say anything." The green-haired woman shrugged.

If it's true, she wouldn't dare say anything bad about the other person even if she had ten times the courage.

"You guys."

Qin Jin felt somewhat helpless.

"At this point, you're still doubting that person's strength? Haven't you noticed? We've been chasing them for so long, and we haven't even caught a glimpse of them?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of the group changed drastically.

Yes, at least two or three minutes had passed while they were talking, and they had been giving it their all during those two or three minutes.

As a result, there was not a trace of the other party in sight.

"Now you know how powerful it is."

Qin Jin glanced at them. "Whether this is a test from Chairman Li or not, we must perform well and get to Anshan City within two hours!"

"What! Two hours!"

"Captain! Are you trying to kill us?"

A chorus of wails erupted.

More than an hour later, Chen Fan arrived at the Awakened Association.

"President, you wanted to see me?"

Hua Jun also rushed over and asked.

"Um."

While looking at the computer, Chen Fan said, "I need you to help me gather information on the situation of the cities around Anshan City since the beast tide broke out. Which cities have fallen, which cities are under attack, the types and numbers of the attacking beasts, and pay special attention to the places that are being attacked by burrowing beasts. The more burrowing beasts, the better."

"Yes, Chairman, I'll arrange the manpower right away."

Hua Jun hurriedly replied.

He didn't understand Chen Fan's intention in doing this, but he didn't ask any questions and just did it.

Because of the outbreak of the beast tide, the difficulty of intelligence gathering has greatly increased, but as long as there are enough people and methods, it is possible.

Soon, a large conference room was filled with hundreds of people, some browsing the web, some making phone calls, and some typing on keyboards. Everyone was busy and working hard.

And the intelligence reports were also handed over to Chen Fan.

"Wangcheng, a small city more than 300 kilometers away from Anshan City, has fallen. Nearly 80% of its population has been killed or wounded, and more than half of the Awakened in the city have also been killed or wounded..."

"To the west, in the small city of Shucheng, which is 200 kilometers away from Anshan City, a wave of beasts was repelled. However, more than a thousand burrowing-type ferocious beasts suddenly appeared, including a commander-level one. The city suffered heavy losses, and many awakened beings were also killed. It seems that it cannot withstand the second wave of beasts. It is currently requesting support, but unfortunately, it has not received a response."

"In the southwest, Shicheng, more than 400 kilometers away from Anshan City, was also attacked by a horde of beasts, numbering around 30,000. They have been successfully repelled, but according to scouts, more than 200,000 ferocious beasts are gathering and preparing to attack Shicheng."

"Stone City".

Chen Fan vaguely remembered those two words.

He took his initial assessment to join the Awakened Association here.

Because of the points system, some minor conflicts arose with the local awakened individuals.

"There are over 200,000 ferocious beasts, and it's unknown how many of them are burrowing beasts."

If there are many burrowing beasts, he could make a special trip there.

If there weren't many, he probably wouldn't have gone. Wave after wave of beasts were like fires on a vast wasteland. He was ultimately just one person. If he saved this place, he couldn't save that place; if he saved that place, he couldn't save this place. He had to learn to make choices.

"President, we have news!"

Just then, Hua Jun walked in excitedly, holding a piece of intelligence.

"Drilling-type ferocious beasts! So many drilling-type ferocious beasts!"

"Let me see."

Chen Fan took it and read it quickly.

"In the southeast, 500 kilometers away from Anshan City, a medium-sized city called Yufeng City is engaged in a fierce battle. Nearly a million ferocious beasts are besieging the city. Not only that, several thousand burrowing ferocious beasts have also appeared in the city. In addition, there are more than three thousand flying ferocious beasts in the sky above the city."

The awakened warriors of Yufeng City fought valiantly, but still couldn't stop the ferocious beasts outside the city. Large numbers of beasts poured into the city through breaches in the walls, joining burrowing monsters in a rampage. Therefore, Yufeng City repeatedly sent out distress signals, hoping that surrounding cities would provide support.

"A million ferocious beasts, including six or seven thousand burrowing-type ferocious beasts..."

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

Therefore, it seems that the beast tide that will break out in Anshan City two days later is on the same level as the beast tide that besieged medium-sized cities, or even more dangerous.

"Several thousand burrowing beasts are enough for me to make this trip."

Chen Fan nodded and stood up from his chair.

"President!"

Hua Jun was startled and asked with his mouth agape, "You...you're going to support Yufeng City?"

Those are a million ferocious beasts!

Moreover, there's still quite a distance between Anshan City and there. By the time our guild leader gets there, Yufeng City might have already fallen...

The president's trip is tantamount to walking into a trap.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded. "Continue gathering intelligence. I'll be right back. Also, if six people come looking for me later, give them this document for me."

He picked up an envelope and handed it over.

"Six people came here?"

Hua Jun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "President, please be careful."

The reason why Ansan City is currently safe and sound is common knowledge.

If anything were to happen to Chen Fan, it would be tantamount to the sky falling for everyone in Anshan City.

Chen Fan glanced at him, then disappeared from the office.
