Chapter 257 - Second Arrival at Sea City (1/2)

The train brought the group to Sea City. Qin Feng opted to check in at the same hotel as he did last time.

Despite the intense battle that took place not long ago, the hotel had long been restored, and the city was as vibrant as always.

The ordinary civilians were not really concerned about the power struggle among the top guns. To them, as long as the leader was dominant enough to protect them from being invaded by ultra beasts, it did not actually matter who was in power.

Of course, it would be better if the new mayor was not a tyrant that ruled with autocracy and taxed the people excessively. No one would risk their lives revolting if the authority did not oppress its people.

Hence, Sea City remained largely the same. Qin Feng and Bai Li rested well on the first day in this bustling city.

The mission of Sea City was announced the next day.

“Mayor Qin, pleased to meet you. I am the leader of the Sea City’s garrison troop A. My name is Yang Ping, and I welcome you on behalf of our city.”

Qin Feng measured the man in front of him. He was an E3-tier.

“Nice to meet you.” They shook hands and their eyes met. Both of them could feel the skepticism and reservation in each other’s minds.

“We are in a state of emergency now. The sea beast tide has already started and will probably hit the sh.o.r.e by noon. Instead of wasting your time taking on lesser opponents along the coastal zone, your command is more desperately needed at the frontline. I am here to escort you to the shelter island,” Yang Ping said convincingly with a firm tone. He had probably rehea.r.s.ed the speech several times.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, “Shelter island?”

Yang Ping avoided Qin Feng’s gaze and explained, “That’s right. The island is well-equipped too. That’s the only place your true strength would flourish.”

Qin Feng sneered.

Of course, he knew about the truth of this shelter island.

Beyond Sea City lay a seemingly boundless ocean.

At the center of the vast sea, numerous rifts would open up about the same time each year in the middle of the storm and tsunami, delivering powerful beasts through the crack to the earth.

This was no secret to Qin Feng, who had reached A-tier in his past life.

The beasts came from diverse dimensions and thus behaved differently. But one thing was for sure, which was that the strong would always prey on the weak. Thus, weaker beings would constantly migrate to seek for survival. Only the strong ones would get to retain their habitats.

The compet.i.tion among the beasts upon the arrival of new species was the reason behind the sea beast tide, whereby the losers would be extruded closer and closer to the land.

In other words, beasts that appeared on the sh.o.r.e would be the weakest, such as G-tiers and F-tiers.

On the other hand, E-tier creatures were often seen near the shelter island. As its name suggested, the island served as a natural fortress to bar the E-tier beasts from entering the coastal region.

People from Sea City would only dare to visit the island after the sea beast tide since the E-tier sea beasts would have returned to the ocean by then. Materials left behind by the beasts on that island had benefited ample Sea City residents over the years.

Thus, Qin Feng was amused when Yang Ping said that they were going to battle on the shelter island. But he did not show it and instead nodded. “Sure. Let’s go then.”

Yang Ping could not believe that Qin Feng was so easily tricked. He concealed his delight and led the way into a luxurious command vehicle. The car left Sea City and headed to the wilderness.

They reached the actual seaside after half an hour. Sandy beach stretched infinitely on both sides, and the raging sea at the far side completed the stunning view.

“Wow!”

Bai Li was apparently fond of the magnificent ocean. The artificial seaside built inside Sea City was only a laughable pool as compared to this wonder.

In the midst of the waves, beasts were clearly seen. At such a distance, they could come ash.o.r.e at any time.

The command vehicle hovered in mid-air once it entered the sea. The base of the car transformed and turned into a speed boat.

The calmness on Qin Feng’s face had never changed along the way as if he already knew what to expect.

Bai Li, on the other hand, was full of questions.

“Where’s the shelter island?” She asked.
