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

"What happened? Why are there so many guards?"

"Not only that, I also saw armored vehicles drive in."

"What? Armored vehicles have driven in? Really?"

"See for yourself, would I lie to you?"

Outside a residential compound in the north of Anshan City, a large crowd had gathered, craning their necks to peer inside through the gate.

Moreover, people in some of the surrounding high-rise buildings were also watching the commotion through their windows.

More than a dozen armored vehicles and hundreds of armed guards were parked in the residential area.

People kept coming out of the stairwell, carrying large and small bags, and lined up under the guards' instructions, their faces filled with panic.

"What's going on?"

Many people panicked upon seeing this.

"Did they commit a crime? Or something else? Why were they kicked out for no reason?"

"Yes, I remember they moved in from outside the city just like us. Weren't they supposed to be provided with free accommodation? Why doesn't that count anymore?"

"No way?"

Those around them were even more alarmed upon hearing this.

A beast tide is erupting outside the city. If we drive them out now, wouldn't that be killing them?

"What time is it? Why are you still here watching the show?"

Just then, a voice rang out, and several guards walked out of the residential area, looking at everyone with serious expressions.

"Didn't you see the police tape around here? Are you out of your mind?"

Everyone instinctively took a few steps back.

"Brother," someone asked, mustering their courage, "what happened in here? Aren't those people living here perfectly fine? Why are they being driven away?"

"Yes, yes, brothers, what exactly is going on?"

"Is Chairman Li trying to kick us out?"

"Nonsense!"

The guard who had spoken earlier glared fiercely at the person who had spoken.

"Is Chairman Li that kind of person? If he wanted to kick you out, why did he let you stay here for free in the first place?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

The speaker turned pale with fright and trembled all over.

The others, however, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that we don't have to drive them away.

But what is the reason for this current situation?

"Alright."

The man frowned and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you the reason, you'll find out sooner or later anyway."

Upon hearing this, everyone present perked up their ears.

"You all probably know about the ferocious beast that appeared in the city this morning, right?"

"I know, I know."

Someone immediately spoke up: "I was there when the ferocious beast appeared. If someone hadn't warned me, I would still be standing there stupidly watching. Luckily I didn't do that, otherwise, would I still be standing here alive now?"

"I've heard about it too. There were hundreds of ferocious beasts. It's thanks to the experts who were there that they were eliminated in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Yes, who would have thought that the beast tide had passed, and then, early the next morning, ferocious beasts would appear in the city? Wait, brother, do you mean that ferocious beasts will appear here later too?" The speaker's eyes widened suddenly.

"!!!"

Those around were nearly paralyzed with fear upon hearing this.

What? There's a ferocious beast here?

Are they still here watching the show because they think they have too much time on their hands?

However, some people remain clear-headed.

If a ferocious beast had already appeared in the neighborhood, the atmosphere would definitely not be so quiet, and the people inside would not be standing there foolishly in line.

Not yet.

The man shook his head. "But it'll be soon. The beast might appear in about an hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present gasped.

Could the ferocious beast really reappear? Right near their dwelling?

Shouldn't they also stay away from here? After all, they could easily lose their lives if they're not careful.

The man seemed to sense their worry and said, "Don't worry, the Awakened Ones in the city have made thorough preparations. There won't be any ferocious beasts. Everyone will be able to leave this area alive. Just stay quietly at home and don't wander around."

Of course, if you are still worried, you can leave temporarily and go for a walk elsewhere, but please don't cause too much of a commotion or panic.

"Yes, yes, we understand."

Everyone nodded hurriedly, looking at each other, their hearts still filled with unease.

Who would have thought that just by going out to join in the fun, I would learn some incredible news?

"Alright, everyone disperse." The man waved his hand.

The onlookers, in twos and threes, walked back to where they had come from.

Suddenly, someone seemed to realize something and asked in a low voice, "How did they know that a ferocious beast would appear there later?"

The crowd paused, their faces showing surprise.

Yes, an hour from now, not now, but in the future.

How could they know? Could they possibly foresee the future?

"Alright, let's not pry into things that aren't our business," someone said. "We just need to do what they say."

"Yes, those awakened ones are incredibly powerful, and some of them might even be able to foresee the future. If you ask me, this is actually a good thing for us."

"Yes, yes, there are ferocious beasts everywhere outside now. I heard from the rumors that many cities like our Anshan City have been overwhelmed by the beast tide, and the people inside are barely surviving! I don't know how long our Anshan City can hold out."

"Sigh." The sigh faded into the distance.

At this moment, the people in the community were terrified.

Upon learning that a ferocious beast would appear there, they were eager to leave with their families immediately.

"How's it going? Has everyone been notified? Is anyone still inside the building?"

Not far away, Hua Jun looked at the group of people in front of him.

"Buildings 1 and 2 have been checked, and no one is still in the buildings."

"Buildings 3 and 4 have also been checked; no one was detained."

"Building 5 has been inspected. Building 6 is still under inspection. It should take about a minute."

Reports rang out one after another.

"Um."

Hua Jun nodded, glanced at the time, and said, "Then wait three more minutes. After three minutes, regardless of whether anyone has not been notified, immediately lead everyone to evacuate to a safe place."

"yes!"

"Brother Qin, do you think a ferocious beast will really appear here later?"

Seeing this, someone in the War Soul Squad asked with a skeptical attitude.

"Yeah, I heard that Chairman Li's special ability is speed enhancement, right? It has absolutely nothing to do with foresight, does it?"

"With such a grand display, wouldn't it be embarrassing if no ferocious beast showed up later?"

"Shhh."

Qin Jin made a shushing gesture, looked at his companion beside him, and lowered his voice, saying, "We can talk about these things in private. Chairman Hua is right there. It would be so embarrassing if he heard us."

"Cough cough."

Several people coughed a few times.

"Brother, we were just asking out of curiosity, we didn't mean anything by it."

"Yes, yes, it was just pure curiosity, no malice intended."

"Is Chairman Hua busy with his own affairs? He can't hear us."

"alright."

Qin Jin shook his head, looking ahead with some confusion, and said, "I don't know if there will be any ferocious beasts later, but it's easy to find out. We'll know in a little while."

If no ferocious beasts appear, it means Chairman Li's intelligence was flawed, and it has little to do with us, since we did as he instructed.

However, if a ferocious beast does appear, everyone must be on high alert. This is our first battle here, and we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes. Otherwise, when Chairman Li returns, even if he doesn't say it aloud, he'll have his own thoughts.

"Uh-huh."

The remaining five nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, don't worry. It's just two or three hundred ferocious beasts. There are only a few dozen elite-level ferocious beasts. There's nothing to worry about."

"Exactly, they're just unlucky to have run into our War Soul Squad."

"Brother, I have a question. If the ferocious beasts really do appear, and we kill them all, who gets the evidence against them?"

As the saying goes, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Moreover, dozens of elite-level ferocious beasts are worth tens of thousands of points, and if you include the mid-to-high-level ferocious beasts, the value is even greater.

"this……"

Qin Jin scratched his head.

Logically speaking, it should belong to them.

But this time the situation was different; they were employed by someone else.

"Captain Qin."

Just then, Hua Jun walked over.

"President Hua."

Qin Jin greeted him with a smile.

"Captain Qin," Hua Jun said politely, "the people in the community have begun to evacuate in an orderly manner. It is estimated that everyone will be evacuated in about fifteen minutes. At that time, we will have to trouble Captain Qin and your team members."

"Why are you being so polite, Chairman Hua?"

Qin Jin laughed and said, "This is something we discussed from the beginning. Don't worry, if any ferocious beasts appear, we guarantee that none of them will leave here alive."

"well."

Hua Jun nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

He believed that the other party had the capability.

After all, this was an entire squad of B-rank Awakened! If it weren't for the guild leader, he estimated that he would never have had the chance to meet them in his entire life, let alone have a friendly exchange with them.

Time passed by, and after more than ten minutes, all the ordinary residents of the community had been relocated.

More awakened individuals also appeared around the community.

This commotion wasn't big, but it still didn't escape one person's notice.

A hundred meters away from the residential area, an elderly man squinted as he watched this scene.

After listening to the conversation in the neighborhood for a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

A wave of ferocious beasts will appear here in half an hour? Did these people receive advance warning and therefore wait here?

And the one who arranged all of this was none other than President Li, the president of the Awakeners Association.

That is, Chen Fan.

"How did that little guy know that a ferocious beast would appear here in half an hour?"

Old Wang muttered to himself, "Could it be that he can predict the secrets of heaven?"

"S..."

Old Wang took a deep breath.

The ability to divine the secrets of heaven is simple to say, but even in his time, those who could do it were extremely rare.

If that little guy could really do it, it would really surprise him.

"Alright, I'll wait and see. After all, I promised him that I would look after things for him while he's away."

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, in the blink of an eye, less than a minute remained before the ferocious beast appeared.

The atmosphere in the air became visibly tense.

Hua Jun and the others held their breath, paying close attention to any movement around them.

In contrast, Qin Jin and his group were not particularly nervous.

They had killed even commander-level ferocious beasts, so a mere few dozen elite-level ferocious beasts were nothing to them.

In contrast, they were more concerned about whether any ferocious beasts would appear.

"It should be here soon, right?"

The green-haired woman glanced at the time and muttered to herself.

As if to confirm what she said, a soft sound was heard, and a section of the ground not far away suddenly rose slightly.

"!!!"

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to that direction.

"Could it be?"

The green-haired woman was completely stunned.

Could it be that a burrowing beast has actually appeared?

Another section of ground was raised, then a second, then a third...

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the first section of ground to be lifted was finally breached, and a scorpion-shaped beast, its body completely black as if clad in armor, appeared in everyone's sight.

It is over five meters long, with two huge pincers that are nearly two meters long. Its long tail stands upright with barbs the size of a foot basin, the tips of which gleam coldly. It is hard to imagine the inhuman pain that someone would face if they were hooked.

"A giant-tailed scorpion?"

Hua Jun's eyes widened.

These ferocious beasts have an extremely tough exterior; bullets hitting them have no effect whatsoever and are more likely to ricochet off and hit their own people.

Although the barbs behind it were no longer poisonous, they were incredibly powerful, easily piercing through armored vehicles and lifting the vehicles and their occupants up and smashing them to pieces.

Sure enough, he knew that none of the ferocious beasts that emerged from the ground were simple.

"A ferocious beast really appeared?"

Qin Jin and the others standing nearby were already stunned.

What Chairman Li said was true; he really could foresee what would happen in the future!

"Cough cough."

Qin Jin coughed, startling the people around him, and said, "Remember what I told you before? In this battle, if we don't make a move, all the time is gone; but if we do, we can't let any fish escape."

"clear!"

Excitement gleamed in their eyes, and their curiosity about Chen Fan grew even stronger.

In the distance, Old Wang was also shocked. Watching the giant-tailed scorpions appear one after another in the arena, he muttered to himself, "This time, is it just luck or is it inevitable? Could it be that the little guy really be able to predict the future?"
