My carefree life in space

Chapter 95 Dealing with the Beast Tide

As expected, the news about the beast tide caused a huge uproar.

Those who remained in the safe zone began to discuss the matter.

"A beast tide! It's a beast tide!! Everyone, run for your lives!" This was the exclamation of someone who knew about beast tides.

"No wonder strange beasts have been appearing so frequently these days, it turns out to be a beast tide." The person who said this either had great confidence in the military or was unaware of the severity of the beast tide.

"There were rumors back then that J56 was fraught with danger. We've been here for a few days and haven't had any major casualties. I thought it was an exaggeration, but it turns out it's true." Someone recalled the initial introduction about J56.

"That's because of the military's protection. I used to say that handing over half of the harvest was a bit much, but now it seems it was still worth it." Someone was overjoyed and no longer felt bad about handing over the ore.

"What do you think? Should we leave right now? I haven't gained much yet, and I'd be reluctant to leave now." Some people hesitated, hoping to get others' opinions.

"No matter what you decide, I'm going. Nothing is more important than my life."

"Yes, yes, I'm leaving too. Let's take advantage of the fact that there are still fewer people leaving now, and we can still squeeze onto the spaceship. If we wait too long, we might not have a chance to leave."

Many people were worried and panicked, and they rushed to the spaceport immediately to board the nearest spaceship and leave.

Some people are observing, after all, the existence of the safe zone gives them some confidence, and besides, maybe the army can drive away the beast tide?

Those powerful figures were the ones who were observing. Apart from the Lin family, they had gained quite a lot these past few days, and they would really be reluctant to leave just like that.

They were quite clear about the situation on planet J56. When the military was stationed there, knowing that there were many alien beasts and considering the possibility of unforeseen circumstances, the military established a safe zone in the human settlements.

If the situation is manageable and the beasts are contained near the forest, that would be the best outcome. If they cannot be resisted, the existence of safe zones will allow them to hold out for a while, and they can evacuate as needed.

An Yuanheng and the others, who had already returned to the safe zone, showed expressions of understanding when the news was announced, and they began to worry about Mo Ze.

He must have known about the beast tide long ago, yet he stayed without hesitation, which aroused their admiration. At the same time, they became even more curious about his strength; only with formidable power could one possess such confidence.

"Are you leaving?" Yang Feng asked the question that was right in front of him.

The others exchanged glances; frankly, it was a difficult decision.

They were just ordinary people, and leaving would be the wisest thing to do. But as passionate young people, they couldn't just walk away. Staying might allow them to be of some help.

“I’ll stay,” An Yuanheng said first. Since Mo Ze was still outside the safe zone, Sister Shushu definitely wouldn’t leave first. After spending these past few days together, he didn’t feel comfortable leaving them alone.

Most importantly, he had a feeling that this beast tide would soon recede. This confidence stemmed from Mo Ze's composure and the mysterious aura emanating from the two of them.

To be honest, if he thought Lin Shushu was a weak girl when he first met her, he completely changed his mind after spending time with her.

If she were truly as fragile as she appeared, how could she have come alone to such a chaotic and undeveloped planet?

As for the mining area she chose, at first he just thought it was because she was lucky, but after thinking about it carefully, he guessed that it was definitely not as simple as just being lucky.

"Then I'll stay too."

"I'll stay too."

"I'll stay too."

"Since you've all stayed, I can't just leave first."

Upon hearing that An Yuanheng wanted to stay, the other four also expressed their intention to stay as well.

They returned to the hotel together, and Li Fei, Lu Xiang, Luo Yuan, and Yang Feng also moved their accommodations there so they could look after each other if anything happened.

Seeing her brother return, An Xiaojie finally felt relieved. When she heard about the beast tide, she was completely terrified, and it was Lin Shushu's comfort that relieved her anxiety.

Lin Shushu wasn't surprised that she didn't see Mo Ze. Mo Ze had already sent her a message, briefly explaining the situation in the forest.

Lin Shushu wasn't worried about his safety at all. Even if he couldn't solve the beast tide, Mo Ze would be perfectly capable of protecting himself. As for the beast tide... if necessary, the two of them could work together to deal with it.

"Sister Shushu, Brother Mo didn't come back with us," An Yuanheng told Lin Shushu with some unease.

"It's alright, don't worry, he has the ability to protect himself," Lin Shushu said casually.

As expected, Lin Shushu did not show any signs of worry, which dispelled An Yuanheng's unease, and he became even more certain of his earlier guess.

Knowing that they had all decided to stay, Lin Shushu looked at them with newfound respect. She didn't offer any opinions, simply told them what she was doing, and then returned to her room.

Near the forest, the men Fang Hongzhang had gathered were already in place. They had all come to the area where Chen Qiong's team was located, and Fang Hongzhang was among them.

It's easy to imagine that in such an urgent situation, how could he, as the commander-in-chief, not be present on the scene?

At this moment, some high-ranking military personnel gathered in front of the screen, staring intently at the situation on the screen.

In the scene, countless strange beasts surged in from all directions. They were of different shapes and sizes, some as large as small mountains, and some that could breathe fire and water, clearly indicating that they were of a high level.

Fang Hongzhang ordered everyone to be on high alert and prepare for battle. To be honest, they weren't confident of victory, but as soldiers, they couldn't back down, and some were even prepared to die.

The beasts are incredibly fast. Less than an hour has passed since the beast tide was discovered, and the vanguard of the tide has already arrived. A chaotic battle between the beasts and humans is about to break out.

Like a tidal wave, the strange beasts quickly filled the open space dozens of kilometers in front of the group. In an instant, all kinds of weapons were fired, and with the beasts' attack methods, the battlefield was in complete chaos.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, the sounds of weapons exploding, human shouts of battle, and the roars of strange beasts mingled together, creating a scene of utter awe and shock.

The monstrous beasts repeatedly attempted to breach Fang Hongzhang's defensive line, but failed each time, which enraged them even more. They leaped and pounced on the human warriors, their sharp fangs instantly tearing through the mechs protecting them. Left with no other option, the human warriors could only fight back with their bare hands.

As those in front fall, those behind immediately take their place. In the end, weapons become of little use, and everything ultimately depends on one's own strength.

So, where is Mo Ze at this moment?

After arriving near the forest with Chen Qiong's team, Mo Ze did not alert them but instead flew into the forest. He knew that to stop the beast tide, he must first find out the cause of the beast tide.
