Bai Xiu heard this and instinctively glanced at the Skytop.
The little girl in the black dress, still in the hands of the Thunder Realm Walker, was slowly descending from the Skytop at this mont.
"Your mission has changed."
Bai Xiu was silent for a few seconds and then slowly said: "The target person doesn’t need to be taken away anymore... The mission for the others remains unchanged. Once they’re done, you take them and leave first."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Su Cha and the others changed slightly. Just climbing the city wall, Shen Li and Chen i were also taken by surprise.
"What do you an?"
Hu Danian frowned. Unlike others who feared Bai Xiu, he was unfazed. For this mission, he was willing to risk everything: "How can the mission just change... You must give an explanation!"
"You cannot take her away, the Source Tower will find out."
Bai Xiu was not good with words. He spoke hastily this ti, but realized too late that what he said could cause misunderstandings.
"What do you call this?" Hu Danian laughed in anger: "Damn it, do you suspect I’m a mole?!"
"..."
Bai Xiu sighed quietly in his heart.
"Currently, the Beast Tide is in chaos, presenting the best ti to send people away." Chen i sensed sothing was wrong and asked in a transmitted voice: "Little Xiuzi, is there sothing happening? Why suddenly the evacuation mission is cancelled?"
In the plan for East Continent, Gu Xiaoman was a sudden change. How to send her off was an unsolved problem.
One might say, taking advantage of the Great Hunt to send soone away was a trial.
If it didn’t work, they’d find another way.
To those familiar with him, Bai Xiu’s response was much simpler: "It’s hard to explain... Gu Xiaoman can’t be sent away."
Upon hearing this, Chen i sighed. He went to Hu Danian’s side and whispered a few words.
After hearing it, Hu Danian also fell into silence.
"I’m the special task group leader of the Dadu District. I have the right to disobey Changye’s orders. Now you say the mission is cancelled, but I haven’t received any notice. Either Mrs. Nanzhi gives the command, or Mr. Xiao Gu orders . Until I have confird information, I will not leave..."
He stubbornly stated his final stance.
"Then wait for a while."
Bai Xiu’s expression showed slight apology, saying: "I can’t explain it clearly, let Gu Shen co and say it himself."
...
...
The rain grew heavier, and although the Beast Tide had receded, S12 District remained chaotic.
A large number of refugees had gathered here.
The Beast Tide attacked from all directions, and several high walls of South Cave had been breached... The Neutrals tily organized and evacuated the crowd. Amidst this A level Beast Tide assault, only the "S12 District" remained a safe zone.
The East Continent Law Enforcers ford over ten rescue teams to provide aid externally.
Gu Xiaoman was smoothly taken to the city wall by the Thunder Realm Walker. She tightly clutched a corner of Bai Xiu’s sleeve, standing atop the city wall, while the crowd watched the distant Beast Spirit tide recede into the dark night, all feeling a sense of unease.
Yet that sense of trepidation did not dissipate.
Because the Beast Tide was not the true source of terror.
The air was filled with mountain ash, the signal from [Deep Sea] was getting worse, and a scarlet dim glow hovered at the peaks of the mountains.
All of this signified...
[Tanyao] might already be awakening.
This was the true source of everyone’s unease.
In the end, from the far end of the long dark night, a figure clad in wind, snow, and fla appeared.
Gu Shen returned to S12 District. From afar, he sensed the bloody scent at the base of the city wall and the remnants of the thunderstorm. After leaving the core area of [Tanyao], Chu Ling’s Spiritual Link communication was restored. He knew everything that had happened here.
"...Mr. Xiao Gu!"
Hu Danian saw his old friend and hurriedly welcod him ahead of everyone.
"Lao Hu."
Seeing an old friend again, Gu Shen’s eyes showed a hint of a smile.
And yet he harbored guilt in his heart.
Because this mission to the south was extrely challenging, trying to send the "God’s Favored Son" away was no easy task.
Having Hu Danian here was almost a gamble, and now it seed he hadn’t misjudged.
Earlier during the Beast Tide invasion, Hu Danian alone held the pass, completing half of the east wing’s primal point station construction, and all of this was captured by [Deep Sea].
Gu Shen had already reviewed it once in the database... This guy ca here truly risking his life.
"You don’t need to say much... I already know what happened here."
Gu Shen saw the indignant expression on Hu Danian’s face, and before he could speak, gently transmitted: "The mission indeed has changed, but don’t think too much about it. Your role has beco even more critical. I need you to expand the evacuation team tenfold... Initially, we were to send ten people, now it’s a hundred."
Hu Danian was completely stunned.
"You saw it too, the [Tanyao] of Sangzhou Cave is about to erupt."
Gu Shen put an arm around Hu Danian’s shoulder, pointing to the distant scarlet Heavenly Cloud, softly saying: "The world conference will soon yield results... We need to send as many people away as possible. Don’t worry about ’checkpoint interceptions,’ you just need to protect the evacuation targets well during the departure from the island, the remaining troubles will be handled by others."
"This..."
Hu Danian’s expression turned grave as he hesitantly asked: "Really send a hundred people?"
"Yes." Gu Shen calmly said: "Can’t fit them?"
"It can fit... If they’re willing to squeeze, they could even double again." Hu Danian scratched his head and said: "Just didn’t expect the mission really changed, I thought that kid Bai was purposely opposing you... So what about the little girl I was originally tasked with?"
