57 Backing Off

“Beast tide?”

Hearing the person’s words on the communicator, Lin Ye suddenly became worried about Hong Zhijun’s situation.

Four Ironback Pigs had already died.

“What’s the scale?”

In the end, Su Hongcheng was still a big shot.

Although he looked at it nervously when he suddenly heard about the beast tide, he quickly calmed down.

After fighting mutated beasts for so many years, humans still had this bit of experience.

The beast tide that appeared at this time should not be as large as in the past.

The answer on the other end of the communicator confirmed Su Hongcheng’s guess.

“The army sent word that there are three burrowing worms.”

“But I don’t know if there’s a follow-up. They’re sending people over to support now. There’s a regiment stationed there.”

Hearing the person on the other end of the communicator say that there were only three burrowing worms, Lin Ye saw Su Hongcheng clearly heave a sigh of relief.

“That’s good.”

“According to the usual practice, we’ll send men or materials when we should.

“Also, can you specify that it’s a small-scale beast tide and not a big one in the future?”

When the person on the other end of the communicator heard Su Hongcheng’s “reprimand”, he hurriedly agreed.

After hanging up the communicator, Su Hongcheng saw Lin Ye looking at him strangely and hurriedly made up for it.

“Ahem, as a newbie, I still don’t understand ~”

Lin Ye smiled at Su Hongcheng and asked curiously,

“How large is the beast tide of three Earth burrowing worms? One to two thousand?”

Su Hongcheng shook his head.

“There are at least thirty to fifty thousand mutated beasts and even a considerable number of polluters.”

“30,000 to 50,000?!”

Lin Ye was surprised by this number.

Su Hongcheng nodded.

“Only more, not less.”

“How many people does that regiment have?”

“About two thousand.”

Lin Ye was speechless.

Two thousand against thirty to fifty thousand?

Outside Jiangzhou City, Hong Zhijun’s clothes had already become even worse than the damaged version.

The army had to call him an expert when they saw this.

After transforming, the furry man punched a gorilla that was charging at his face to death and looked at the combat bear beside him.

Although it was only level one and was much weaker than him, that set of “fist techniques” still beat the level three gorilla until it could not fight back.

As the owner of the combat bear, Chen Fei looked at the combat bear that was showing its might and was already numb.

Originally, the four Ironback Pigs were with the combat bear.

When facing those mostly level one monkeys, the Ironback Pigs could still rely on the iron armor on their backs to be the front line.

After all, it could even block the bone spikes of the Bone Spur Tiger from before.

However, as more and more mutated beasts rushed out, coupled with the fact that there were some polluters and other mutated beasts mixed in, the limitation of the Ironback Pig that could only resist the super strong defense on its back became obvious.

Those blood wolves directly swarmed forward and bit the Ironback Pig’s neck or stomach.

In less than half a minute, they were all eaten.

Fortunately, the combat bear was brave enough.

Ordinary three to five blood wolves could not approach.

In addition, there was still the White Jade Butterfly flying on Hong Zhijun’s shoulder. The Encouragement Halo and Healing Halo had always been cast on the surrounding people and combat bears, allowing them to last until now.

However, everyone was already at the end of their rope.

There were less than 800 of the army’s 2,000 people left, and this was under the situation of relying on various fortifications to fight and retreat.

“Vice Commander! There’s a polluter!”

A soldier had just reminded Hong Zhijun.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed past and he could only hold his throat and collapse weakly.

Seeing this scene, Hong Zhijun, who was bathed in the encouraging halo, suddenly rushed towards the black shadow.

The fist that was suffused with an energy halo was blocked by a pair of sharp claws.

Compared to the polluter who appeared in Linye’s shop that night, the one in front of Hong Zhijun was clearly much more dangerous.

The bandages all over his body were blood-red, unlike the one that only oozed blood from the bandage the other day.

“Hiss ~”

“The smell of a human expert.”

“You must be delicious!”

Hearing the words of the blood-red polluter in front of him, Hong Zhijun frowned slightly.

In terms of strength, this guy’s level was not lower than his.

Then, he raised his hand and punched again.

After a few consecutive punches and claws, Hong Zhijun looked at the two additional claw marks on his body and became even more anxious.

“Why isn’t the support team here yet?”

Fortunately, there was the White Jade Butterfly.

The little guy flapped its wings on Hong Zhijun’s shoulder and emitted a white light.

A few seconds later, the additional claw marks on Hong Zhijun’s body completely healed.

The polluter opposite him watched this scene and his blood-red eyes narrowed slightly.

“Human, what’s that bug?”

Hong Zhijun ignored the polluter and clenched his fists, preparing to rush forward again.

He was prepared to exhaust this thing to death today.

Seeing this, the polluter also guessed Hong Zhijun’s plan.

He retracted his claws slightly and prepared to find an opportunity to deal with the worm first.

Of course. It would be best if they could capture him alive.

In the end, just as the two of them were about to fight, a long wolf howl sounded throughout the battlefield.

After the main blood wolf pack of the beast tide heard the wolf howl, they immediately ran towards the entrance of the worm like an army.

Seeing this, the monkeys and gorillas also began to retreat.

Seeing this, the polluter who was confronting Hong Zhijun licked the blood on his claws and left the battlefield in a flash.

Soon, only corpses and mutated beasts without any intelligence were left.

Seeing these mutated beasts retreat, Hong Zhijun could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although he could indeed still fight, if he delayed any longer, his troops would be gone.

“Vice Commander, reinforcements are here!”

As the atmosphere group on the battlefield, Chen Fei saw a convoy speeding over from afar.

His face immediately revealed the joy of surviving a calamity.

Just now, he really thought that he was going to die here.

After all, no matter how powerful Hong Zhijun was alone, he was only a beast-type mutant.

It was impossible for them to protect him while fighting.

Fortunately, there was a combat bear.

Of course, the White Jade Butterfly was also an existence that could not be ignored.

If not for the White Jade Butterfly, the combat bear would have long bled to death.

After Chen Fei, who had been highly nervous, relaxed, he directly sat on the ground.

Seeing this, the combat bear at the side felt that its master had embarrassed it and immediately bared its teeth at Chen Fei.

“Roar!”

Chen Fei, who had just been taught a lesson by his beast, had no choice but to stand up again.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll get up now!”

Roar ~

“Yes, I’ll definitely practice when I get back, okay?”

“I won’t let you protect me next time!”

Hong Zhijun looked at Chen Fei, who had been taught like a grandson by his beast, and the expression on his face softened a lot.

Looking at the White Jade Butterfly lying on his shoulder and looking a little dispirited, Hong Zhijun sighed with emotion.

This time, he owed Shop Owner Lin a big favor.

If not for this White Jade Butterfly, he would not have been able to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
