"Chairman, these iron beetles seem to have been cut by some sharp weapon."
"Such neat wounds, similar to Chairman Li’s Sword Qi. Could it be that Chairman Li made a move?"
"Chairman?"
Hua Jun’s gaze swept around, and he also felt that the possibility was high.
After all, their chairman had always been the type who didn’t talk much, dealing with things swiftly and leaving without a trace, fitting his character.
"Chairman, there’s news!"
Two awakeners brought a few terrified-looking men over.
"Chairman, they said they saw what happened just now. The one who made the move was a woman wielding two short swords. Like Chairman Li, she could unleash Sword Qi dozens of meters high with each strike. These iron beetles were all killed by that woman."
"A woman?"
Hua Jun was stunned, then looked at the men and asked, "Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."
"Y-Yes, Chairman."
The men were a bit scared but still recounted the incident in full.
After listening, Hua Jun’s face showed relief.
Having such a master in the city was naturally a good thing. If not for her intervention this time, who knows how many people would have died here, and if these fierce beasts had scattered, the difficulty of eliminating them would have multiplied.
And now, that possibility had been nipped in the bud.
"After killing these iron beetles, did she leave immediately? Did anyone see where she went?" an awakener asked unwillingly.
"We don’t know."
"She disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Yes, if not for someone reminding me, I wouldn’t even have known she had left." Several witnesses shook their heads one after another.
"Chairman, should we find a few more people to ask?"
"Forget it."
Hua Jun shook his head and said, "Since she has left, she probably doesn’t want to reveal her identity. Besides, the city might not be safe right now, and we don’t have the extra manpower and resources to spend on such matters."
Hearing this, everyone around fell silent, their previously relaxed brows furrowed again.
Yes, the appearance of these iron beetles was too sudden and completely caught them off guard.
Although they had now been completely eliminated and the crisis resolved, what about the next time?
This time they appeared on a street in broad daylight, making them easy to spot. But what if next time they appear in an unnoticed corner, or even in the dead of night? What then?
The sense of crisis once again enveloped everyone’s hearts.
Many people realized that Anshan City was not safe, even after surviving the first beast tide. No one could know if one day, while sleeping in bed, an iron beetle might emerge from the ground and eat them.
"Clean up the battlefield and store the materials from those elite-level iron beetles," Hua Jun sighed, and suddenly, he noticed something and looked up at the sky.
In the hundreds of meters high sky, a group of black shadows flitted by.
Everyone present felt a chill.
Ten years ago, the world had undergone changes, and today, what flew in the sky were not birds but fierce beasts.
From the ground, they looked as small as sesame seeds, but when they dive down, you’d realize just how big they are.
"A storm is approaching,"
Hua Jun sighed deeply.
His gaze became confused.
Half an hour later, Chen Fan received the news.
"A woman?"
"Yes,"
Hua Jun stood before the desk, "The sudden attack by the iron beetles was thanks to her intervention that it was resolved. Chairman, should we investigate her identity?"
"No need."
Chen Fan placed the report on the desk, "I have roughly guessed her identity. Just leave her be."
