Chapter 510

"Ding~ Mission issued: Escort the Wanyang City civilians safely to Ruzhang City, with a mortality rate not exceeding one-tenth!"

"Ding~ Mission reward: Can designate one pet beast to randomly improve its talent by one level, Mythical-grade talent excluded!"

Great!

City Lord Yu's casual remark allowed Su Yang to receive a pretty good mission.

With a death quota, the difficulty of this mission is not too high.

If the requirement was to escort tens of thousands of civilians safely to Ruzhang City, Su Yang really wouldn't have any confidence.

In the wilderness, there are too many causes of death.

Poisonous insects, fierce beasts, consuming poisonous substances, physical weakness, accidental falls... all could lead to death.

About an hour later, Hao Ren returned to the team.

He was also extremely happy to see Su Yang return safely.

At dusk, the large force of tens of thousands of people slowly stopped.

The beastmasters cleared all fierce beasts in the vicinity.

The civilians were directed to search for wood and light campfires.

Most civilians did not carry tents, nor did they carry much food.

However, when Yu Hao evacuated Wanyang City, he emptied Wanyang City's food storage and loaded it into more than twenty large trucks.

If this food is rationed slightly, it should barely be enough for the consumption on the road.

Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun went out together to hunt fierce beasts and brought back four large Platinum-grade fierce beasts.

"City Lord Yu, let's cook these together!"

"Alright!"

Liu Liu Mengyun had the Nether Phantom Cat carve up the fierce beast corpses.

With the help of beastmasters, the cooks set up dozens of large pots simultaneously, happily throwing the bloody fierce beast meat chunks and bones into the boiling water, and poured several large scoops of salt into the pots.

The aroma of meat wafted out, and many beastmasters and civilians smelled it and looked toward the direction the meat aroma was coming from.

Regarding the bloody smell, Su Yang, Yu Hao, and the others had no intention of covering it up at all.

The tens of thousands of people gathered here could easily be discovered by fierce beasts.

Whether there is a bloody smell or not, it actually doesn't matter anymore.

After the meat was cooked, distribution began.

The members of the 14th Emergency Squad were arranged at the very front, followed by the Wanyang City beastmaster troops.

The medical staff taking care of the wounded and the City Guard troops each barely had enough to eat a mouthful of meat.

Only then were the civilians.

However, it was of course impossible to satisfy all the tens of thousands of civilians in the back.

At first, ten people shared a piece of meat and a bone; later, only meat broth was left, and finally, the cooks began to add water to the meat broth...

Working until late at night, the cooks who were frantically adding water to the meat broth felt embarrassed, and the fire trucks transporting water had run back and forth several times before Yu Hao ordered the queuing civilians to go back.

Those civilians were of course full of disappointment, but they could accept it.

Food had just been distributed, so even if they couldn't eat meat, they wouldn't go hungry.

Su Yang looked at Yu Hao and found that being a City Lord is also not easy at all.

At dawn the next day, Su Yang heard the harsh sound of a horn and several gunshots. After packing up and leaving the tent, he learned that the team would set off in ten minutes.

In City Lord Yu's words, it was to travel more while it was still visible.

Su Yang released the Storm Eagle to scout the movements of powerful fierce beasts nearby.

More than a month later, Su Yang finally saw the city gates of Ruzhang City, and he let out a gentle sigh of relief.

Looking back at the large force of tens of thousands of civilians, each one was sallow and emaciated, wearing rags, looking almost like refugees.

Or rather, they were refugees to begin with.

No matter how hard Su Yang tried, over the month-long journey, more than two thousand people still fell behind.

Upon entering Ruzhang City, the City Lord of Ruzhang City received them.

After resting in Ruzhang City for ten days, Su Yang bid farewell to the City Lord of Ruzhang City and Yu Hao, and led the members of the 14th Emergency Squad back to Changwu City.

Su Yang returned to Changwu City more than twenty days later.

One mission, coming and going, took four months.

Su Yang could only sigh that the Emergency Brigade's missions are not easy to complete.

He met Brigade Commander Yao and simply told him about the situation in Wanyang City.

"In other words, you killed a King-Rank Dragon Frost Spider?!"

"Mm!"

"You have now reached Star-Shine Grade strength?"

"Mm!"

Hearing Su Yang's affirmative answer, Brigade Commander Yao took a breath and inhaled more than half of the cigarette he had just lit.

He exhaled a thick smoke ring, stood up from his chair, and paced back and forth in the spacious office.

"I don't know why it happened so fast either!"

Brigade Commander Yao's mouth twitched violently, having the urge to smash the file onto Su Yang's head.

But he held it back!

This guy is a treasure!

"It might be talent!" Brigade Commander Yao said with a firm tone. "Don't tell me you don't know; you should have discovered it long ago!"

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb with me, kid!" Brigade Commander Yao laughed and scolded. "You definitely have a talent that allows pet beasts to grow rapidly. This kind of talent is not an exception in the Huaxia Federation!"

"Oh!"

Su Yang nodded, taking it as an admission.

Since it's not an exception, then everything is easy to talk about.

"But your pet beasts are indeed ridiculously strong, especially that Earth Violent Bear of yours!"

The Earth Violent Bear is actually not hard to investigate.

It was exposed when they were in Qixing City.

The Earth Violent Bear's growth potential was only Gold-grade, but Su Yang's Earth Violent Bear had already been upgraded to Star-Shine Grade!

The Seven-Colored Phantom Butterfly is now Platinum-grade, and sooner or later, others will notice its abnormality.

"I discovered that the level of my pet beasts seems to be able to keep improving without the limitation of growth potential!" Su Yang laughed awkwardly. "This seems to be my talent too!"

Su Yang decided to be slightly more honest, letting Yao Xing and the others have some mental preparation.

Anyway, everything can be attributed to talent!

His talent is just like this, what can he do?

"Uh..." Brigade Commander Yao was stunned. "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Su Yang nodded. "I think I must be that kind of gifted beastmaster!"

"Good kid, you're narcissistic enough!"

Brigade Commander Yao couldn't help but laugh.

The kind of talent Su Yang mentioned is indeed very powerful.

But for a beastmaster, it's not really that important.

Fierce beasts do have growth potential, but beastmasters can also change pet beasts!

"Since you are now a Star-Shine Grade beastmaster, have you thought about what kind of pet beast you want next?"

Su Yang simply told Yao Xing his thoughts.

"We have healing-type fierce beast eggs in our Southwest Military Department, but their growth potential is not high; the highest is only Platinum-grade!"

"As for the fierce beast eggs with powerful attack capabilities you want, our Southwest Military Department also has them!"

Yao Xing looked at Su Yang and said earnestly: "Your talent is not that simple. You make your own decisions about what pet beast you want. As long as our Southwest Military Department has it, you can take it. I will help you apply for it; General Qin will definitely agree."

"Thank you, Brigade Commander Yao!"

"This is what you deserve. You completed this mission very well; Yu Hao and Tan Shulong spoke highly of you!" Yao Xing said. "As for Wanyang City, I have already sent experts to investigate. I think it won't be long before intelligence is sent back."

"Mm!"

Just at this moment, Yao Xing's adjutant appeared at the door.

Yao Xing asked: "What is it?"
