Chapter 550 - 496 I Will Stay_2

Hua Jun looked at the man who asked the question, took a deep breath, and said, "When the president arrives, you will all know.""Alright, okay."

The man sat back down on his chair and did not continue to ask questions.

The atmosphere in the room became oppressive in an instant.

Many people watched the clock on the wall, counting in their hearts.

They didn’t know how much time had passed when the sound of footsteps echoed.

Hua Jun immediately looked up towards the door.

Others present had a similar thought flash through their minds.

Could it be?

"Is everyone here?"

A voice sounded.

"President!"

"It’s the president!"

"The president is here!"

Everyone turned around, their faces showing excitement.

"Except for a few who are out of town and can’t make it back quickly, everyone else is here."

Hua Jun quickly answered.

"Hmm."

Chen Fan nodded slightly; most people being here was enough, he couldn’t be bothered with the rest.

As he walked through the corridor and onto the stage,

Chen Fan looked at the crowd in front of him, who were excited yet somewhat nervous, and slowly said, "I called you here because there is something very important I need to tell you. Honestly, I hope what I’m about to say won’t happen, but unfortunately, it already has."

"Gulp."

Quite a few sounds of swallowing were heard.

"President, what is it, exactly?"

"President, please tell us, we are mentally prepared."

Some people had a thought in their minds.

They just didn’t dare to delve deeper into it.

Because if it were so, it would be too terrifying, even for an awakener.

"Alright."

Chen Fan swept his gaze across everyone, "The beast tide has erupted."

The large meeting room fell into a brief silence, as if time had frozen at that moment.

But it wasn’t long before exclamations erupted like a tsunami.

"What! The beast tide has erupted! Did I hear that right?"

"I heard it too. The president did say those exact words."

"Oh my god, didn’t the beast tide just happen? How long has it been? Why is it happening again? Are we not meant to live?"

"Where did the president get this information from? Could he be mistaken?"

"Impossible. Before the president said it, he emphasized that he didn’t want what he was about to say to happen, but it already has."

"What should we do? What should we do?"

The large meeting room became chaotic.

There were those who were shocked, those whose legs went weak, those who were flustered, and many who couldn’t believe it.

Xie Ming and the others, who had already known the news in advance, appeared very calm.

But it was only a surface calm.

Their inner fear and panic were no less than those present.

Because in such a high-level beast tide, their roles as C-level Awakeners wouldn’t be much more significant than those of the D-level and E-level Awakeners in front of them.

Encountering danger and being killed was just a matter of minutes.

"I wonder what the president’s internal plan is."

Hua Jun looked at Chen Fan.

Is it to tell everyone and then, like the person who revealed the news to Xie Ming before, turn around and leave, disappearing into the distance?

Or to stay and lead everyone to defend Anshan City?

The probability of the former is higher, right?

After all, this beast tide is incomparable to previous ones; knowing one would die if they stayed, it would be better to leave early and defend a stronger place.

Just like him, he also wanted to leave, but given his strength, those in medium or large cities might not take him in.

A few minutes later, the commotion in the large meeting room gradually subsided, and people looked at Chen Fan ahead with some fear.

Their previous behavior was indeed somewhat impolite.

But upon hearing such sudden news, it was truly hard to control their emotions.

"I am not joking with you."

Chen Fan didn’t mind and continued, "After receiving the association’s news, I specifically went out to check. Countless fierce beasts have already appeared less than a thousand miles away. Numerous survivor settlements have been destroyed by fierce beasts, and countless people have died."

Upon hearing this, everyone opened their mouths wide, speechless.

No wonder the president was so certain, he had already gone out to investigate.

The beast tide is less than a thousand miles away from Anshan City.

That means by tomorrow or the day after, the beast tide would reach the city walls of Anshan City?

"President, this time, we can defend it, right?"

Someone said, hesitant.

He wanted to say, Anshan City had defended against past beast tides.

But then he thought, at that time, the president wasn’t even here. Saying that now seems inappropriate.

Chen Fan glanced at him, "This time is different from the previous ones."

"Different from the previous ones?"

"Wha-what do you mean?"

Someone started to sweat on their forehead.

Could it be, could it be this time...

"That’s right,

" Chen Fan said seriously, "If I have to say, this time it is very likely a reenactment of ten years ago."his news, he would leave.

"I will stay."

Chen Fan said.

Upon these words, the room buzzed with astonishment!
