Chapter 107: A Temporary End

Yingzhou immediately began to evacuate, returning to the tent where the Krieg engineers had dug the hole to begin his retreat; before leaving, Yingzhou also summoned 5 Krieg engineers to bury the hole.

By the time Yingzhou crawled out of the tunnel again, he had already left the Orcs' camp.

Explosions could still be heard from the camp from time to time, but Yingzhou did not linger, instead heading toward the Giant Cedar District he had learned about during his exchange with the Catachan tough guys.

He needed to find a relatively safe place to recover his Spiritual Power and replenish his energy.

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City, Giant Cedar District Guerrilla Gathering Place.

Han Li and Xia Dijing were plunged into a state of busyness after receiving the survivors from the Wastestone District.

Originally, after Hu Jie brought back a group of survivors, the survivors in the gathering place had already reached a state of saturation.

As it turned out, in the latter half of the day, that group of Catachan tough guys brought back over 1,500 more survivors from the Wastestone District.

Upon asking, they learned that they had actually slaughtered an entire camp of Orcs, and only a few Catachan tough guys had suffered some minor injuries.

When Hu Jie heard what these Catachan tough guys said, his first reaction was disbelief, but seeing that Han Li and Xia Dijing were convinced, his heart wavered a little.

While everyone was settling the survivors from the Wastestone District during the day, the sound of shelling that came from the Inner City from time to time tugged at the heartstrings of every survivor, except for that group of rugged Catachan tough guys.

At this moment, a loud noise came over, a sound louder than any of the previous shelling, and immediately after, a soldier shouted loudly to everyone.

"What a huge fire!"

The survivors in the gathering place also heard this loud noise, stopped what they were doing, walked out of the buildings with broken walls and ruins, and saw the sky-high flames and thick smoke in the distance.

"What was that sound just now? Such a loud noise!"

"Could it be that the Orcs have already breached the gates of the Inner City?"

"That firelight is so high!"

After seeing this scene, the survivors began to discuss it, guessing what the current battle situation was.

Some children looked at the Catachan tough guys who were not worried about this situation at all, and asked in their tender voices.

"Muscle uncles, aren't you worried?"

Although the hat-wearing Catachan tough guy felt awkward about the title "muscle uncle," he remembered the importance the Emperor placed on these survivors, so he tried his best to make his rugged voice sound a little softer, and put on an expression he considered very kind as he said.

"Don't worry, the Emperor will bless you all!"

The Catachan tough guys behind him saw their leader looking like this and, without hiding their expressions at all, laughed out loud.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Boss, haha... your expression is really... hahaha... too funny! Hahaha!"

This hat-wearing Catachan tough guy ignored the guys behind him and tried hard not to let his expression break.

Although these children usually saw these Catachan tough guys looking fierce, in reality, they were all very good people, especially since these Catachan tough guys had rescued some of the children from the hands of the Orcs.

"The Emperor..."

These children did not know who this so-called Emperor was, but anyone who could be kept on the lips of these kind-hearted muscle uncles must also be a very good person.

After sending these children away, the hat-wearing Catachan tough guy helplessly looked back at the group of Catachan tough guys who were laughing and holding their stomachs, and scolded with a smile, "Damn it, what are you laughing at! I really am *&*#**."

These Catachan tough guys laughed for a good while before wiping the tears from the corners of their eyes and quieting down.

Soon, the survivors outside returned to the gathering place and continued doing what they were doing.

Han Li and Xia Dijing were outside the gathering place, looking at the sky-high flames, and Han Li spoke up.

"I think that direction looks like the place of the Beast Race Base Camp; did something happen at the Beast Race Base Camp?"

"Not sure, we can only pray now that the Inner City can withstand this wave of attacks; I don't know if they can hold on." Xia Dijing did not care at all why the firelight appeared there; what he was concerned about now was whether the Inner City would be breached, and if it were breached, then it would only be a matter of time before they, the survivors in the Outer City, were liquidated by the Orcs.

Until the artillery fire in the distance stopped, neither of them could be sure whether the soldiers in the Inner City had held their ground or if the Orcs had already invaded the Inner City.

"Let's go, we can't do anything anyway, let's settle these survivors first." Han Li moved his somewhat stiff neck and said.

"Mm."

At the same time, Ye Cheng, who was patrolling in the Giant Cedar District, was shuttling through a ruin with the members of his squad when Ye Cheng suddenly saw an Orc Patrol Squad appear not far away, with about 60 people; these Orcs were walking swaggeringly on the street, chattering about something in their mouths.

"Captain, should we go back and call for support now? This patrol squad seems to be coming toward the Giant Cedar District." A team member saw this Orc Patrol Squad and turned to look at Ye Cheng on the side.

"Mm, let's decide on that." Just as Ye Cheng nodded, he suddenly saw more than 30 soldiers wearing gas masks appear behind these Orcs; they crawled out of the ruins, quickly aimed at the Orcs walking swaggeringly on the road, and then opened fire, with laser beams hitting these Orcs one after another.

The patrolling Orcs, seeing that the chests of the colleagues who were chatting with them just a moment ago suddenly had a large hole appear, emitting wisps of smoke, and then slowly falling to the ground, realized that there was danger behind them.

As they gripped the Large Rifle in their hands and turned to prepare to shoot, a laser beam flying toward them hit its chest; it only felt a heat in its chest, its consciousness went black, and it fell to the ground.

In just a few rounds of shooting, these half-naked Orcs were wiped out, and even Ye Cheng was stunned.

The weapons in the hands of these soldiers seemed very similar to the weapons in the hands of those Catachan tough guys; could it be that...

Just as Ye Cheng seemed to be thinking of something, a tall and strong man walked out of the ruins; it was Yingzhou, whom he had met last night.

After seeing the familiar figure from last night, Ye Cheng walked out of the ruins with some surprise and said, "You actually came back? How did you appear here?"

Ye Cheng's sudden appearance caused these Krieg soldiers to point their guns at Ye Cheng in unison, but fortunately, Yingzhou stopped them in time.

"Cough, cough, mm, I was busy with some things, and now I need to find a place to recover some Spiritual Power and replenish some physical strength." Yingzhou coughed twice and said to Ye Cheng with a smile.

To be honest, when Ye Cheng was pointed at by these Krieg soldiers with Lucius Pattern 98 Lasguns, his back felt cold, and he felt as if his great-grandmother was waving at him.

"Ah hahaha, no problem, we are already in the Giant Cedar District now. Let's go! We'll take you back!"

Ye Cheng gave a dry laugh to ease his inner embarrassment and said to Yingzhou with a smile.

Just a moment ago, Ye Cheng's team members had all broken into a cold sweat for Ye Cheng, but fortunately, nothing bad happened, and the group took Ye Cheng and the 30-plus Krieg soldiers toward the Giant Cedar District Guerrilla Gathering Place.
