Mo Fan noticed every floor of the huge hotel was crowded with people. It was obvious that the person in charge of the district had gathered many of the survivors at the hotel so it was easier to manage them.

There were a lot of tall buildings in the district, but if the people were scattered across the area, it would be difficult to keep track of their numbers. They would need extra manpower to evacuate each building, too. As there were several hundred units in a single block, it was unlikely they could take care of everyone.

Mo Fan reached the higher floors and saw the people of the Hongling Division, Qinling Division, and South Wing Platoon gathering at a balcony. The fierce wind and rain were just a few meters away, greeting them with a cold mist.

“We can’t help it, there’s isn’t anywhere else to stand inside, so we shall discuss here,” an elder of the Donghai Magic Association named Zhuang Hong said.

“There are so many people here. Are the food, water, and medicine enough?” Shen Qing asked in a worried voice.

The entire Sheraton Hotel had become an emergency shelter for around twenty thousand people. The situation was now under control, but these people would need a huge supply of food and water to feed everyone. The seawater had sealed off the roads for around a day. Many people could survive without food for a day, but it was unlikely they could go for another one without complaining mightily.

“The Shoreline Alliance estimates that the seawater will rise to a dangerous level of fifteen meters in eight hours. When it happens, a species called the Armor Antenna Sea Monster will be able to reach the island. The species is very unique. They strongly favor meat and they have a pair of antennas on their heads that can detect human heartbeats. If we don’t evacuate the city and bring these people inland in time, it will be a bloodbath in eight hours,” Elder Zhuang Hong said sternly.

Everyone immediately straightened their faces.

Which kind of demon creatures were the biggest threat to Mages in the wild? Was it the kind with outstanding strength?

The Hunters who spent most of their time in the wild clearly knew that the biggest threat was always the species with sharp senses who could pick up the presence of humans from miles away!

If it was a powerful creature, people could just try their best to avoid it. They could still flee for their lives if they were unable to defeat it.

However, demon creatures with sharp senses were like hunters. They would pursue their prey endlessly once they set their focus on them. They would often wait patiently for the humans to lower their guards. They would torture their prey with their menacing glares and finally kill them all!

Among the species with sharp senses, one kind that would even make the face of experienced Hunters turn pale were those with the ability to sense a human’s heartbeat!

It was possible to cover your scent with certain methods. An experienced Hunter even knew how to trick the demon creatures with a keen sense of smell. The demon creatures would eventually lose track of their prey, but there was no way to conceal a person’s heartbeat!
