Chapter 325: Reason for the Siege of the City by Mutant Zombies
"Where’s Shang Qingtian? Bring him to me!"
Liu Qiancheng roared uncontrollably.
"Commander, now is not the time to blame him!" Liu Qiancheng’s deputy hurriedly advised.
"Zhichang is unconscious. Currently, the Martial Judgment Institute relies on Shang Qingtian and the heads of the other five sects. If we blame Shang Qingtian now, what if he leads the Wuyue Sword Sect to withdraw?"
Hearing this, Liu Qiancheng instantly calmed down.
"Now is not the time to judge Shang Qingtian. But now, without Zhichang and Guishan, who can stop that transcendent realm exotic beast?"
Liu Qiancheng said anxiously.
"I don’t know, but if we ask Shang Qingtian to hand over the transformation grass of that exotic beast, will the beasts retreat?"
The deputy suggested.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiancheng’s eyes lit up, so he immediately ordered:
"Quickly, bring all the people from the Martial Judgment Institute here!"
"Yes!"
...
...
Before long, the heads of the other sects of the Martial Judgment Institute arrived at the command post.
Each head was responsible for a different defense direction, so they didn’t know the current situation of Zhichang and Guishan.
"Why did you call us back at such a critical moment, Commander?"
The first to express dissatisfaction was Shang Qingtian.
At this moment, Liu Qiancheng wished he could kill Shang Qingtian.
If it weren’t for him taking that transformation grass, would the situation be like this now?
However, now was not the time to punish him.
Seeing Shang Qingtian, Liu Qiancheng looked at him expressionlessly and said:
"You know best what caused this situation!"
Indeed, upon hearing this, Shang Qingtian’s face changed slightly.
Although guilty, Shang Qingtian also knew that Liu Qiancheng wouldn’t do anything to him.
Now that the city was in crisis, he represented the entire Wuyue Sword Sect.
The Wuyue Sword Sect was responsible for the defense in the south.
If Liu Qiancheng were to hold him accountable now, he could just leave with his people, breaking through the siege. When that happened, who would be willing to clean up this mess in the city?
"Now the city has been holding on for seven hours, and if the support doesn’t arrive, we’re doomed. Now, bring out the stuff you took, and let’s see if the beasts will retreat!"
"What stuff?"
The other sect heads immediately asked, looking puzzled.
"You ask him!"
Liu Qiancheng said impatiently.
"I..."
Facing everyone’s questioning, Shang Qingtian knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he said with a wronged expression:
"I don’t know either. On a mission, I saw a plant full of energy in the wilderness and took it back. Who knew it belonged to that big guy!"
"Did you cause the current situation where the beasts besieged the city?"
Everyone immediately looked at Shang Qingtian angrily.
"I don’t know. Who knew that was something of a transcendent realm exotic beast? If I knew, I wouldn’t have taken it!"
Shang Qingtian said with a hopeful expression.
"And now, it’s not a matter of whether you take it out or not. Even if you take it out, do you think the beasts will retreat in such a dominant situation? The current beasts have the intelligence comparable to an eighth or ninth-tier, and transcendent realm exotic beasts are even more intelligent!"
"Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, bring out your stuff and give it a try!"
"You old fellow, if we can get through this safely, we, representing the Martial Judgment Institute, will directly judge your position as the head of the Wuyue Sword Sect!"
Everyone pointed their fingers at Shang Qingtian.
Seeing Shang Qingtian’s departing figure, Liu Qiancheng frowned slightly, then signaled to his deputy.
However, about half an hour later, the phone in the command room rang.
"Commander, it’s bad. Shang Qingtian has taken everyone from the Wuyue Sword Sect and run away!"
"What?"
Liu Qiancheng stood up abruptly, then looked at everyone from the Martial Judgment Institute gloomily.
"If we don’t chase them at all costs, and the transformation grass is definitely with him, if he leaves, we’ll all be buried with him!"
"But, Shang Qingtian and his people have fled from the southwest direction. That’s the junction of zombies and beasts, the weakest point. They have already broken through the encirclement!"
The deputy reported anxiously.
"If we pursue them at all costs, it’s indeed possible to catch up with them, but the defense inside the city will be weakened. By then, the beasts will definitely break through the encirclement!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiancheng’s face gradually became serious.
"Damn it! Immediately report this to the New Bo Institute. Transmit the cause of this incident. I will make sure that there is no place for the Wuyue Sword Sect in this world!"
"This guy has really disgraced us martial artists!"
Zhang Shunmin, the head of the Wudang Sect, shouted angrily.
All the people of the Martial Judgment Institute knew that once this matter was exposed, the status of martial artists throughout the country would be greatly reduced.
At the same time, they deeply understood that this was also a means for Liu Qiancheng to weaken the position and rights of martial artists in the Mo City Base.
If the Mo City Base managed to survive this crisis, it was very likely that the Martial Judgment Institute would be directly dismissed.
But they were powerless against all of this.
The only way now was to help the base as much as possible to rectify Shang Qingtian’s mistake.
"Forget about Shang Qingtian for now. As long as he is still in this country, he can’t escape. The only way now is to continue supporting the base for the remaining seven hours!"
Liu Qiancheng said, looking at his watch.
"Now there are only six hours left!"
Dududududu!
The alarm in the command post sounded.
Liu Qiancheng’s heart tightened.
He knew very well what this alarm represented.
"Report to the command post, the third line of defense on the southeast side has been breached!"
Dududududu!
Another alarm sounded.
"Report to the command post, the number of zombies on the northwest side has increased, now exceeding fifty million. The third line of defense has been breached, requesting to retreat to the second line of defense!"
"Approved!"
Liu Qiancheng took a deep breath.
Then he turned around suddenly, his eyes firm:
"Everyone, Shang Qingtian has escaped. The hope of the Mo City Base now rests on you."
"If the second line of defense is breached, we will directly retreat to defend inside the city. Whether we can hold on for six hours now depends on all of you!"
"Come on! You can do it!"
...
The remaining people of the Martial Judgment Institute looked at Liu Qiancheng with solemn expressions.
At this moment, Zhang Shunmin, the head of the Wudang Sect, suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Liu Qiancheng:
"Right! I remembered someone who might be able to help us!"
"Who?"
Liu Qiancheng asked immediately.
"Xiao Feng!"
Zhang Shunmin said seriously.
"Xiao Feng is ranked first on the national ranking list. His strength is beyond doubt, recognized by the people of the whole country. Although this ranking list has not yet included some of our hidden experts, his strength may be able to help us hold on for a little longer!"
"Now we have completely offended him. Will he help us?"
Liu Qiancheng said worriedly.
For the sake of the overall situation, Liu Qiancheng decided to give it a try.
Now that Zhichang and Guishan were both incapacitated, there was simply no one who could confront that transcendent realm exotic beast head-on.
If Xiao Feng were added, perhaps with all the remaining power of Mo City, they could really hold on for these last six hours.
"Cough, cough!"
Just at this moment, Zhichang and Guishan, who were lying on the bed, slowly woke up.
They seemed to have heard the discussion among Liu Qiancheng and the others just now.
The two of them struggled to sit up.
But Liu Qiancheng couldn’t waste any time at this moment. He quickly ordered the others:
"Go and bring Xiao Feng here. I’ll talk to him!"
After the order was given, Guishan, who had just woken up, immediately said angrily:
"Commander, what are you doing? Are you placing our hopes on a young brat? Even Zhichang and I together are not a match, do you think he stands a chance?"
"Yeah! Commander!"
Zhichang let out a sigh and nodded in agreement.
"I’ve fought against him. I know his abilities. At best, he can only match me. Letting him go out there is pointless!"
"But, considering the situation in the Mo City Base, there is no one else who can match you two. Besides Xiao Feng, there is no one else who can make a difference!"
After hearing this, Zhichang fell silent.
But Guishan, who was beside him, still argued, "He bears a grudge. Sending him out to delay the transcendent realm exotic beast is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. If he goes out and escapes, or even aids and abets the beasts and zombies to attack us, then what do we do?"
After hearing this, Liu Qiancheng’s complex emotions immediately became alert.
"So, according to my plan, all of us will hide in the underground shelter. As long as we wait for reinforcements to arrive, we will be safe!"
Guishan continued.
Guishan’s proposal made sense, but it was also Liu Qiancheng’s last resort for retreat.
Before that, he still wanted to try a little harder.
Just as he was in a dilemma, Xiao Feng was brought over.
Seeing Zhichang and Guishan lying on the hospital bed, Xiao Feng immediately smiled, "Did I say something wrong? Even if there were ten of them, they wouldn’t be a match for that big guy!"
Upon hearing Xiao Feng’s sarcasm, Guishan immediately questioned angrily, "What do you mean? Do you look down on us?"
"Friend, there’s no need for you to gloat. Even if we can’t defeat that monster, we have still paid a price for the Mo City Base. And what about you? With all your strength, you’re here mocking us. Can you live up to your top ranking?"
Zhichang said disdainfully.
"What’s the matter? Trying to provoke me, so I’ll be your free fighter? Now that you can’t handle it, you remember me? Dream on! What are you thinking? I’m just a criminal who is about to be judged by the Martial Judgment Institute. So, sorry!"
"Commander, bring me the token of the Sun and Moon Alliance from him. Even if I have to fight to the death, I will still help you!"
Guishan struggled to sit up, his face filled with righteous indignation.
