Chapter 206 Martial Law in the City (1/2)

In the mountains, several monster hunters were walking in the forest with all their gear on. They carried bulging bags on their backs that contained very valuable monster organs.

The ground beneath them suddenly shook. The squad's familiars let out uneasy growls.

”What's wrong, Bei Bei?” one of the monster hunters stopped, turned his head and gently stroked a big white cat next to him. The big cat turned its head, its sapphire blue eyes full of panic and anxiety.

”Go, we need to go quickly,” the big cat said quickly and anxiously.

Several of the monster hunters' hearts skipped a beat. Bei Bei had reacted very similarly in the past. Once, it had been because a Legendary-tier monster flew overhead. Luckily, the Legendary-tier monster hadn't noticed them, or it might have been that it just hadn't paid them any attention.

It was the same reason a person wouldn't step on a small bug for no reason. Only when the bug climbed up the person's leg would that person shake it off and then kill it.

”We need to leave this place quickly. Let's go back to Yuzhou City first,” said one of the squad members immediately.

Just as they turned around, the earth beneath them shook. The earth seemed to have turned over!

When the earth turned over, a few of them and their familiars were thrown into the air.

They then saw something that gave them a very big shock...

…

”Dozens of monster hunters have gone missing in the mountains and forests in the northeastern part Yuzhou City,” said a senior police officer in uniform with a frown. He was at the Yuzhou police station.

”Such a large number of monster hunters wouldn't go missing under normal circumstances,” another senior police officer pointed out.

He gently tapped the table and decisively said, ”Send some people to investigate immediately. We also need to seal off the northeast entrance to Yuzhou City. Prevent any entries and exits.”

The meeting ended right after he finished speaking.

It wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Such things usually occurred when there was a rise in the number of monsters, or when new ferocious powerful monsters migrated to the vicinity of Yuzhou City.

...

It was the weekend, and Gao Peng had arrived at home. Grandpa sat at the dinner table wearing a white loose shirt. He lowered his head to drink some soup, then wiped his mouth with a napkin. ”Don't leave the city during this time. It isn't safe outside the city.”

Gao Peng placed the piece of meat in his chopsticks into his mouth. He felt the juices of the meat burst out in his mouth. He swallowed the meat in one gulp, not very sure what was going on.

It seemed like grandpa had just mentioned it in passing, but Gao Peng would remember what he said. He wouldn't go outside of the city no matter what.

”A lot of monster hunters have gone missing outside the city recently. The number keeps growing… the military has sent out teams to investigate, but some of them have gone missing as well. The situation is quite dangerous, so you need to be careful,” Ji Hanwu said slowly as he watched Gao Peng eat.

”Okay.” Gao Peng nodded.

That was all they spoke of the incident. Gao Peng didn't pay the situation any mind and life went on as usual...

Three days later, a message spread throughout the city. Yuzhou City had entered level five martial law. No one was allowed to go in or out without permission. The city had also entered high alert mode.

Immediately, there was a huge commotion throughout the entire city. In all the alleys and corners of the streets, people were talking. Countless numbers of people were discussing the matter.
