Chapter 1027: Chapter 908: The Situation Is Grim
After leaving the War God Alliance headquarters, Ye Fan returned directly to Ao Xiang Villa and contacted Lv Zhan and others for a meeting.
This time, going to the Nancang Holy Land, there were no elder strong people accompanying, only the young generation of strong individuals.
Before setting off, Ye Fan decided to bid farewell to Su Yuxin and others.
Upon returning to Ao Xiang Villa, Ye Fan found that Su Yuxin, Su Jindi, Situ Ruoshui, and others were already waiting for him at the villa.
With such a major event happening, the television was reporting on the movements of the mutant beasts every day, so they naturally knew about it as well.
It wasn’t until the mutant beasts invaded the human settlements on a large scale, with overwhelming news reports on television, that Su Jindi understood why Ye Fan was so urgently secluded in cultivation.
Seeing the power of those powerful mutant beasts, Su Jindi was deeply shocked, a profound sense of powerlessness surged in his heart—with his strength, encountering those powerful mutant beasts would mean becoming their meal in an instant.
“Ye Fan…”
Seeing Ye Fan return, Su Yuxin quickly approached him, gazing at his resolute face, and could only call his name without saying anything else.
Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words!
Ye Fan sighed secretly in his heart, knowing he owed Su Yuxin a lot!
But the situation now was too urgent; it wasn’t a time for romance. Every minute, every second, mutant beasts were wreaking havoc on the lives of ordinary people, and delaying even a second felt like a crime.
Su Yuxin also understood that her man wasn’t the kind of coward who would hide behind others. In this critical moment for humanity, he would certainly head to the front lines to resist the mutant beasts.
Even the usually sarcastic Su Jindi was affected, his eyes reddening and unable to speak a word, choked with emotion.
Situ Ruoshui looked conflicted, standing aside, a flicker of struggle in her eyes.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she stomped her foot and rushed towards Ye Fan regardless. For this older brother figure, Situ Ruoshui had long held feelings for him, but out of respect for Su Liuli and Su Yuxin, she never showed it.
For a long time, she forced herself to see Ye Fan as a familial brother, only feeling familial affection, not love.
But now, she realized she couldn’t do it.
Since she couldn’t, Situ Ruoshui decided to openly express her feelings. Ye Fan was going on a mission with an uncertain outcome, and there was no telling if she would have another chance to be with him.
At this moment, Situ Ruoshui completely released her emotions, throwing herself into Ye Fan’s arms and crying out loud!
Her crying stirred the otherwise strong Su Yuxin, who couldn’t help but shed tears.
Ye Fan felt a pang of sorrow, gently patting the backs of the two women, comforting them, “What’s this? Acting like we’re parting forever. Don’t worry, there’s no top-level War God-level mutant beast where we’re going, so there shouldn’t be any danger!”
He was telling the truth, but unfortunately, neither Su Yuxin nor Situ Ruoshui believed him; hearing his words, they thought he was just comforting them, and cried even more.
Ye Fan, feeling helpless, gave Su Jindi a bitter smile while continuing to gently pat Situ Ruoshui’s back.
On usual days, Su Jindi would definitely tease Su Yuxin, but today, he didn’t. Instead, he said to Ye Fan, “Brother Ye, I don’t ask much of you, just one thing—come back alive. I’m still waiting for you to teach me cultivation…”
At this point, as his nose tingled, Su Jindi quickly held back his words, pretending to admire the view as he subtly turned his face away, unable to control the tears rolling down his cheeks.
“What are you all doing?”
Who knows how long it had been, but a voice came from the distant sky. The four of them looked up simultaneously, seeing Lv Zhan speeding towards them, stepping on Gang Qi.
After receiving Ye Fan’s call, Lv Zhan bid farewell to his clan and hurried to Ao Xiang Villa—Ye Fan had arranged to meet them there over the phone.
Situ Ruoshui, seeing outsiders coming, felt embarrassed to stay in Ye Fan’s arms any longer, and hurriedly withdrew.
With Lv Zhan’s arrival, Ye Hei and Wu Zi, and others also arrived. Xiao Selang, due to being in Mount Tian and closer to Southern Tibet, didn’t come but instead headed directly to Southern Tibet to join them there.
And at this moment, as if by intuition, Su Liuli and Chu Ji also emerged from seclusion. Ye Fan briefly explained the severity of the situation to them, and they immediately expressed their desire to go to Southern Tibet to contribute their part in saving humanity and resisting the mutant beasts.
With everyone assembled, Ye Fan immediately decided to depart right away; arriving even a minute earlier might save the lives of some ordinary people.
“Ye Fan…”
“Ye Zi…”
“Big brother…”
Just as they were about to set off, Su Yuxin, Su Jindi, and Situ Ruoshui simultaneously called out.
The crowd stopped and silently watched them.
Finally, on behalf of both, Su Yuxin said to Ye Fan and everyone, “Be safe, the most important thing is to come back alive, only being alive brings hope!”
Ye Fan nodded heavily, “I will!”
After speaking, Ye Fan urged the enlarged Golden Feather Wings and quickly flew towards the direction of Southern Tibet, turning into a small black dot in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the horizon.
He really couldn’t stand this sorrowful farewell scene, and at the same time, the situation in Southern Tibet couldn’t be delayed any longer.
This time, it wasn’t just Ye Fan and his group going to Southern Tibet. Other alliances and ancient forces would also send young strong people, but not together. Instead, they had agreed to meet in a small town near the Nancang Holy Land.
After a long journey, Ye Fan, along with Su Liuli, Chu Ji, Lv Zhan, and others, arrived at that small town first.
At this time, there were no ordinary people in the small town; they had all been evacuated. Only some Buddhas with cultivation were still holding their ground.
With the arrival of Ye Fan and the others, young cultivators from the Six Major Alliances and the Five Ancient Forces also arrived one after another in this unremarkable small town.
For a time, this little-known small town became lively as young cultivators of various skin colors gathered. Inevitably, there were some people who were unwilling to accept Ye Fan’s leadership position and intentionally wanted to stir up trouble, hoping to force Ye Fan to relinquish his leadership role.
Ye Fan keenly noticed that the strength of these people was not great. They weren’t the elite young generation that the alliances and ancient forces talked about, just ordinary young cultivators.
“Damn, those bastards are using a public affair for personal revenge!”
Lv Zhan also noticed the situation, went straight to Ye Fan, and cursed bluntly.
“Ye Fan, we can’t let this matter slide. The strength of these people is really too weak, and they can hardly be of any use. If it’s just us from the Huaxia Alliance fighting those powerful mutant beasts, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. They’re playing dirty, trying to preserve their elite young generation. Their calculation is indeed precise!”
While they were speaking, the door to Ye Fan’s office was pushed open, and Chu Ji walked in. She also noticed that those supposedly elites from various forces were actually inferior, intentionally giving Ye Fan a hard time.
After listening to Lv Zhan, Chu Ji said to Ye Fan, “Xiao Fan, now is not the time to act on impulse. We’re facing a strong and numerous Beast Tide; these people are of no big use. We should report the situation to Leader Yan as soon as possible, asking him to send reinforcements. Until then, we need to hold fast to this small town and wait for reinforcements without taking rash actions.”
A glint of sharpness flashed in Ye Fan’s eyes.
Lv Zhan and Chu Ji both noticed this, and of course, they couldn’t hide it from his eyes. He just didn’t expect that at such a critical moment of life and death for humanity, there were still people playing tricks and games.
According to Ye Fan’s temper, since those people sent these useless pieces here, he didn’t need to be polite anymore, directly sending these cannon fodder out. Anyway, it was their people who would suffer the losses.
But in the end, Ye Fan didn’t do that. Although these people were not strong in cultivation, they were still human beings with some cultivation. Who dares say that in the future, they won’t become a force for humanity to resist mutant beasts?
He couldn’t gamble with their lives.
While the three were discussing whether to report the situation to Yan, a cultivator responsible for scouting mutant beast movements stumbled into Ye Fan’s office and shouted, “Commander Ye, bad… bad news, the mutant beast horde is coming, now only a few kilometers away from the small town. You must think of something quickly!”
Swoosh!
Ye Fan’s face changed drastically; the forces in his hands were really too few. Fighting the mutant beasts head-on would not work; they might not be able to stop the Beast Tide even if they sacrificed everything.
“I understand, you may leave now, continue the observation, and report immediately if there are any new movements of the Beast Tide!”
Ye Fan dismissed the person who reported with a blank expression, his face gradually turning gloomy. The current situation was urgent, and he had no other choice but to first call Yan and report the situation here to him.
“Let’s go check just how rampant those mutant beasts are!”
After the report, Ye Fan made a decision and was the first to step out of the room, heading towards the ramparts of the small town.
Along the way, Ye Fan and the others saw those young cultivators from the Six Major Alliances, all looking pale and terrified. They couldn’t help but sigh.
Faced with the raging Beast Tide, these people didn’t even have the ability to resist; they just ran faster than ordinary people.
Upon reaching the ramparts, Ye Fan was surprised to find a vast, dark mass outside the city. Various kinds of mutant beasts were rushing towards the small town, their heavy footsteps shaking the ground and raising clouds of dust.
“Everyone, listen up, close the city gates tightly, and prepare for battle. Even if we die, we’ll fight the mutant beasts to the end. Anyone who dares to flee before the battle, I’ll be the first to cut him down.”
Ye Fan shouted loudly, sending a chill through the hearts of those cultivators who could barely hold their weapons.
“Now I set three rules: those who flee before battle, kill! Those who shake the morale, kill!! Those who disobey orders, kill!!!”
