Chapter 786 - A Forsaken City (1/2)

The few ancient warriors rushed out quickly and had the message delivered. However, Qin Feng felt that external help would be hard to come by.

This was a unique circumstance unlike anything seen before.

‘No wonder the Fettering Land was forsaken so easily and turned into a forbidden area.’

The place was too dangerous and the ultra beasts here were too ferocious. Unequipped humans had little chance in such a treacherous land.

Worse still, the strength of an ability user was greatly slashed here, making survival even direr.

Qin Feng started the car. He gave up on spreading the repellent powder and drove straight back to the city gate.

‘The Huaxia Alliance would probably give up on Chungluo City after this.’

Qin Feng knew he had most probably guessed it right. That was exactly what happened in his previous life, as his memory recalled.

In the meantime, there was indeed a heated debate on the outside world.

Among those that had come out, Jiang Haolin was perhaps the one with the most urgency. Together with a few other B-tiers, they had reported the latest situation to Regent Shang. Shang Han had immediately called for help but the response was scarce so far.

“The overlapping between different dimensions this time is extremely peculiar. How are we supposed to fight in there when the alien dimension would disable consciousness and internal strength?”

“That’s right. Everyone had seen what happened in there just now. We lost two valuable ancient warriors to a group of C-tier cats!”

“Honestly, there are not many ancient warriors that have B-tier parallel training in the entire Huaxia. Moreover, what if the next group of monsters were B-tier? Even B-tier ancient warriors wouldn’t survive then.”

Everyone was giving their opinions, which are mostly demoralizing.

They tried to highlight how difficult the situation was. But the reality was, nobody wanted to get dragged into trouble.

Jiang Haolin grew even more anxious. Chungluo City was not their home, so what happened to it was not their concern.

“There are still seven B-tier ability users inside the city. They are the elites of the Huaxia Alliance. We shouldn’t give up on them just like that!” Jiang Haolin pleaded. “Besides, we have General Qin to count on. With some extra help, we can definitely save everyone!”

These B-tiers did not recognize Qin Feng earlier. After they learned of his identity, one of them immediately said, “How many people are like Qin Feng in Huaxia? He is a generational prodigy. In my opinion, we shouldn’t let Qin Feng take this much risk. He has the potential to grow into an S-tier aptitude user in the future.”

“That’s right. It would be truly a great loss to Huaxia if anything happens to General Qin!”

These people commented insensitively.

They would not be this “rational” if the same thing were to happen to their city instead of Chungluo.

Jiang Haolin was infuriated listening to them. However, he did not dare to talk back because this had gone out of his hand as well.

One of the B-tiers, who sympathized with the concerned Jiang Haolin, suggested, “Our regent has done all she could. The emergency order has been sent out as well. No matter what, this is not an easy request but a life and death matter. I think you should contact the old duke of Chungluo. If the reward is lucrative enough, it might attract some help. Moreover, the old duke might have enough connections to bring in an ancient warrior with A-tier parallel training.”

Jiang Haolin was inspired by the idea. He immediately contacted the duke, Liu Chong.

Liu Chong was very old. He was currently aliased under an S-tier. He had not returned to Chungluo City for a long time.

Most of the residents in Chungluo had never seen him, nor did they know such a figure existed as their duke.

Jiang Haolin received Liu Chong’s reply only half an hour later.

“That’s too much trouble. Just abandon the city then.”

Jiang Haolin was stunned.
