264 The Threatening Tide (2/2)

”Fight back! What are you doing just standing around? Get a move on!” Wang Zhichao barked out orders as he stood in the command room, watching the carnage that was being relayed by a drone.

Right now, all of the heavy artillery was submerged underwater and only E-tier gunners could be mobilized.

”Curses!” Wang Zhichao wrung his hands, gritted his teeth and made the decision based on his gut. ”Hurry and grab every E-tier aptitude user you can and get them to the frontline!”

”Deputy Mayor! You're… you're going too?!” His secretary beside him asked in a voice trembling with fear.

”If I go, then who's going to give out orders? Ready the special missiles. If things go south, we'll use those to destroy the beasts!”

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not going to die along with the rest.

”Yes, Deputy Mayor!”

Wang Zhichao frowned, his heart was drumming against his ribcage.

Fortunately, the tide had retreated after swallowing a huge portion of the coastline, leaving a bunch of exhausted ultra beasts and half of the aptitude users alive.

Those who were familiar with the tide knew that it would not end just like that, as far as they knew there would be another one incoming within ten hours.

This high tide basically massacred them in a sudden thrust.

In fact, these survivors did not know that if it were not for Qin Feng's help, the situation would have been more intense and the ramifications much worse. If only Blackstone Fort could hold on, if only Qin Feng did not need to retreat, then these people would have experienced a peaceful month of sea beast tide.

Today, the cruelty of the sea beast tide month had opened people's eyes!

At this time, Qin Feng was sleeping peacefully, and after ten hours, he naturally woke up.

Looking at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning.

”Xiao Bai, wake up. We're going down for food!” Qin Feng hollered.

For more than ten days, they ate nothing but dried rations. Their taste buds needed something new.

Bai Li's beast-type body meant that she would be fine if she were to just eat energy crystal cores. Qin Feng, on the other hand, had not yet developed some kind of unbreakable iron stomach, and to him days without taste were days not worth living.

Since he had returned to a human colony, the only thing to do was to have a big meal!

After putting on his casual clothes and Bai Li putting on a dress, with her badge stuck to her chest, the two went down to the restaurant.

This time, the restaurant was not as lively as when the Wanzong Auction was being held. There were only two to three people, their faces rejoicing as if they had just been given a new lease of life.

He stopped by the open kitchen and said, ”I've got an ingredient I'd like you to prepare for me!”

Then he proceeded to pull out a tentacle, which would have been unrecognizable if he did not explain what it was.

The tentacle was only about ten centimeters long, but it was about half a meter in diameter. It looked like a millstone.

Such a large ingredient exuded a bone chilling aura. The customers in the restaurant picked up on it and their hairs stood on their ends.

The head chef felt his blood run cold. ”Sir. What exactly is this? Why does it look so scary?” His voice trembled a little.

Realizing that his line of questioning seemed rather unprofessional, he steadied himself and cleared his throat. ”If I knew what it is I'd be able to better prepare the ingredients to cook it!”

Qin Feng nodded, remarking, ”It's a Squid King, very powerful. It was an E-tier beast king! Don't worry, it's very much dead!”

He used his internal force to sweep away the overbearing aura that the tentacle exuded as he spoke.

When the head chef felt the aura disappear, his body shook even more. This time with excitement!

”In all my years as a chef I never thought I'd be able to cook something from an E-tier beast king! This will become legendary! Rest assured sir, I will definitely do this for you!”

With a twirl, the chef began to work as he unleashed everything he had in his culinary arsenal to produce dish after mouth-watering dish from the ingredient he was given. The smell itself was enough to make people drool.

Qin Feng and Bai Li had a very hearty breakfast.

At this moment, a flustered G8-tier aptitude user entered the restaurant. He looked at Qin Feng and Bai Li as if he had found his saviors.

”Mayor Qin!”

He was still a distance away when he began to shout.
