Chapter 590 - Crisis at Winter Fort (1/2)

Qin Feng looked at Bai Li after he had set the hovercraft on an automatic course.

“Have some sleep. How’s your hand?”

Though he was busy talking to Hu San in the hover copter, Qin Feng did help Bai Li to dress her wound simultaneously.

“I will be fine.” Bai Li waved her hands that were buried within a thick bandage.

Qin Feng said, “Doesn’t it hurt?”

Bai Li pouted and said, “Of course it hurts.”

The little fox never lied.

It pained Qin Feng to see Bai Li getting hurt. “Just wait for me to get stronger. I swear I will have Z begging for his life.” Qi Feng promised.

Bai Li resonated, “I will scratch him mercilessly with my claws when that time comes.”

Both of them looked at each other and broke into laughter. A joke was always an antidote to a heavy heart.

They then lay on their respective chairs and tried to get some rest. However, Qin Feng was unable to fall asleep.

‘This matter has haunted me the most after I was reborn. I finally got a conclusion today. I can now concentrate on training, and defeating Z would just be a matter of time. So, what is my next move?’

Numerous memories from his previous life gushed back into Qin Feng’s mind. He had a hard time picking his next destination.

Before he could make up his mind, the alarm inside his hovercraft sounded.

Warning! Warning! C-tier beast king detected at about 20km from here. Please avoid contact. Please avoid contact.

Qin Feng woke from his light sleep. He reached for the alarm and switched it off. The sonar of the hovercraft had detected the whereabouts of the mutated beast.

Winter Fort, where Qin Feng was heading, was at around that distance too.

***

At the same time, the alarm had sounded all across Winter Fort. The hapless D-tier aptitude user inside the mayor’s office was deeply shaken.

“Send over combat hover copters to stall the C-tier beast-king. Drive it away from the fort. Do it with your dying will!”

“Yes, Mayor!”

“I will report to the Human Alliance and ask for reinforcement if the beast gets nearer than 10km. Turn on the force field when it is only 5 km away!”

“Roger!”

“Hope it can be stopped!”

The mayor did not unveil his quiet wish, which was hoping that elects from the Human Alliance would reach sooner.

He could call for help but only God knew when the Human Alliance would send over a B-tier aptitude user.

There were a few tens of cities and colonies across the entire Northern region. Each town had its spatial waymark set up in Bei Hua city. Anytime when there was an emergency, B-tiers could use the prepared waymark and come to the rescue. This was one of the many reasons why there were so many B-tiers being stationed at Bei Hua.

However, no B-tier might be available at the time of emergencies, or the B-tiers would have arrived a few minutes too late.

A few minutes was more than enough for a beast king to trample over a loosely defended city.

The hover copters had been dispatched from the fort.

Being a city of a backward state, Winter Fort was even weaker than Chengyang City. The ten hover copters that they owned belonged to the previous generation.

The pilots were the best man they could afford—five E-tier gunslingers and 5 F-tiers. It was hard to fathom how they were going to stall the beast. They would be terrified by its aura long before reaching the beast.
