To be fair, Qin Jin really wants to leave.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that the tide of beasts would come so quickly, without giving him any buffer time.
Now that night is coming, there are ferocious beasts outside the city. Once you go out, you are likely to encounter commander-level or even beast-king-level ferocious beasts.
If you are surrounded, you will probably die to the point where nothing is left.
But if we don’t leave now and wait until the beast tide arrives, the probability of survival will be even smaller. Whether we can even leave Anshan City is a question.
It would have been nice if Chen Fan could tell them the news earlier. They would pack up and leave in the afternoon.
Of course, this is not appropriate to say. Perhaps, people have just learned the news. Besides, telling them two or three hours in advance is already very good.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Jin took a deep breath, looked at Chen Fan and said: "President Li, we are willing to believe you. We will stay and fight with you."
"What!"
After the words fell, everyone around them showed surprise on their faces.
Especially the Huajun people.
From their point of view, Qin Jin and the others are not like them and have family members staying here. Since they already know that the ferocious beast is about to attack the city, why not seize the time and leave this place of right and wrong?
It is true that going out at night is quite risky.
But it’s the lesser of two evils. It’s too late to wait until the tide of beasts arrives.
Chen Fan was also a little surprised by this, and added: "If you think it is risky to leave now, I can give you a ride. Don't be embarrassed, I am serious."
Several people behind Qin Jin were a little moved when they heard this.
They were not very confident that Chen Fan could defend Anshan City again, but they still believed in the latter's ability to move freely among the beasts.
It would be great if the other party can **** him away.
“President Li is being polite. Indeed, that’s what I thought at the beginning.”
Qin Jin nodded, "However, I changed my mind later, because I think President Li, you are not the kind of person who talks big. Since you said Anshan City can be defended, it must be defended."
…”
The other members of the team looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.
Isn’t it Captain? are you crazy? You actually said such a thing?
What if we can’t hold on by then? At that time, I couldn’t leave even if I wanted to!
Qin Jin's eyes were firm.
Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "There are still two or three hours until the beast tide breaks out. You don't have to make a decision in such a hurry. Please discuss it with others. If you want to change your mind, you can always come to me at the city gate."
Previously, the strength of the guards in the city was average. Qin Jin and the others did share some of the pressure for him, allowing him to free up his hands to do other things.
But the situation is different now. There are flying centipedes guarding the ground. No matter how many earth-burrowing ferocious beasts come, there is no need to worry.
Even after dealing with the threats from the underground, the Flying Centipede can also help him deal with the threats outside the city.
The role of Qin Jin and several people can be ignored.
But he is not the kind of person who just throws away others after using them. The other people came to Anshan City well. Now that they are leaving, he should do his best to **** these people away safely. After all, it wouldn't take him much time.
"plum…"
What else does Qin Jin want to say.
Chen Fan waved his hand and looked at Huajun and the others, "It's not too early, you should start preparing."
“Yes! President!”
The eyes of Huajun and others flashed with light.
They are really scared inside.
But they firmly believed what Chen Fan said.
Shortly after Chen Fan left, Qin Jin and others also left the president's office.
After noticing that there was no one around, the green-haired woman in the team said excitedly: "Captain, are you serious about what you just said? Do you really think Anshan City can be defended?"
"Yes, Captain, didn't you just listen to what President Li said? Tonight, there are more than a million ferocious beasts attacking here. An attack of this scale cannot be stopped by even a medium-sized city, let alone a small city. ah."
"But it's too late. The captain has agreed to stay. If we leave secretly, when the beast tide breaks out later, President Li will find out and he will definitely have a problem with us."
"Hey, what if you have an opinion? It's better to have an opinion than to risk our lives and stay here, right? Besides, I think President Li is quite reasonable. After hearing what our captain said, he also said that we should think about it carefully. , if you want to change your mind, you can go to the city gate to find him at any time."
The few people were talking to each other, and then their eyes fell on Qin Jin.
“I’m still saying the same thing, that President Li doesn’t look like a big talker.”
Qin Jin was silent for a moment and said: "Think about it, since President Li can know what will happen in the future, if he really couldn't hold on, he would have left long ago. But he didn't. He came back to command others and maintain The order in the city, and he also said that he had already prepared, combined with the fact that we have not seen him from morning to night, doesn't this just mean that he has indeed made preparations? "
“It seems that it is really the case.”
A few people nodded and had to admit that what the captain said made sense.
Looking back at President Li's expression when he appeared, he was calm and composed, not at all like he was in danger.
"If we stay at this time and tide over the difficulties with Chairman Li, I believe that after this incident, he will definitely look at us with admiration. Of course, if Anshan City is not defended, I still have a large teleportation weapon on me. This item can transport a few of us twenty or thirty kilometers away."
“Large teleportation item?”
When several people heard this, their eyes lit up.
General teleportation items can only teleport one person, and the distance is also limited.
Large teleportation items far exceed the former in terms of the number of people teleported and the distance.
Of course, everything has pros and cons. Compared with small teleportation items that can be used multiple times, large teleportation items can only be used once and are also very expensive.
“Captain, if that’s the case, then we can stay and see.” The red-haired woman breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yes, captain, if you hadn’t told us about this earlier, we would have thought you were a little bit out of your mind.”
“Then let’s see if the situation will be the same as President Li said. To be honest, I also hope that a miracle can happen.”
“Yes, although the possibility is very small.”
“You.”
Qin Jin was helpless.
It seems that all he said just now has no effect.
Almost no one in the team believed it except him.
Leaving the Association of Awakeners, Chen Fan came to another room, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the door twice.
Today is the day he made an appointment with Wang Lingling to return the Secret of Immortality.
It’s just that the latter seemed to have forgotten about it, and did not send a message or call him.
However, he is an honest and trustworthy person. Once he has said it, he must do it. Moreover, he has already learned this book of longevity secrets, so there is no point in keeping it on him.
“Who?”
A female voice sounded in the room, a little wary.
"it's me."
Chen Fan said.
“President Li!”
Wang Lingling was surprised and happy. She immediately sat up from the bed and walked quickly towards the door. In fact, she was more anxious than anyone else today.
Because according to the agreement, today was the time for Chen Fan to return the Secret of Immortality to her, but she waited from morning to noon, and from noon to evening, but there was still no movement from Chen Fan's side.
She has thought about going to the Awakened Association to find someone.
But when I thought of the other party's cold expression, I trembled and didn't dare to go.
After all, the opponent is so strong, and the Qin family's pursuers are no match for him. If he goes there and makes him unhappy, will he probably kill himself too?
In this case, no one in the world will know whose hands the Qin family’s longevity secret fell into.
Therefore, although she was anxious inside, she did not dare to make any move. She could only pray in her heart. The guy was too busy and forgot. After a day or two, he remembered and returned the Secret of Immortality to her.
In the end, it seemed that inner prayer had taken effect. I was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally the person I was looking forward to came to me.
“Click!”
The door lock was unlocked. Wang Lingling looked at Chen Fan standing in front of the door and smiled enthusiastically: "President Li, you are here, are you tired? Come in quickly and I will pour you a cup of tea."
Chen Fan glanced at her. It was late at night. The latter was wearing thin clothes, revealing her moving curves.
Wang Lingling also noticed Chen Fan's gaze and her face turned red.
She was so happy that she forgot to add some clothes.
Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I'm here to return this to you."
After speaking, a piece of rolled parchment appeared in his hand.
"long…"
Wang Lingling suddenly opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth.
The secret of longevity that she had longed for so much that she could only dream of it would finally be back in her hands.
However, when she reached halfway out her hand, she retracted it again.
“Um, President Li, don’t you need to read it again? The content here is difficult to understand, so it doesn’t matter if you read it for a few more days.”
She was originally worried that Chen Fan would not pay her back and was restless.
Now that I see Chen Fan taking the initiative to hand it back, I feel a little relieved. Shouldn't I just let him watch it for a few more days? Nothing.
Out Out Out Out of Her Research?
"No."
Chen Fan put the parchment into her hand, "Take it and read it slowly. By the way, Anshan City will not be peaceful tonight. There are millions of ferocious beasts gathering outside the city. There are probably two or three In an hour, there will be an attack on the city."
“One hundred, one million ferocious beasts?”
Wang Lingling’s voice increased by 120 decibels.
Then she realized something and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, "President Li, you, what you just said..."
"it is true."
Chen Fan guessed what she was going to say and said first: "With your ability, it's still too late to leave now. Of course, if you stay, I don't have any objection. By the way, you can open that piece of parchment first." Take a look, after seeing it clearly, it won’t be too late for me to leave.”
Wang Lingling was a little embarrassed.
“President Li, how could I not believe you? But since you said so, President Li, I’ll just take a look.”
She opened the parchment and looked at it for a while. She felt dizzy again. She immediately confirmed that the scroll was genuine and quickly closed it.
“Well, President Li, thank you for what happened last time. If it weren’t for you, I would have been caught by the Qin family.”
She said twitchingly.
Honestly speaking, she must have gotten an advantage by exchanging three days of observation time for a chance of survival.
Facts have proved that the person in front of her is indeed a man of his word, and he is not just like she thought, just looking for an excuse to take her things and not return them.
"Um."
Chen Fan responded, turned around and left.
"Wait a moment!"
Wang Lingling’s anxious voice came from behind.
“Is there anything else?”
Chen Fan turned around and glanced at her doubtfully.
“I just heard you say that there will be millions of ferocious beasts attacking the city tonight. If you can leave, leave as soon as possible. What about you?”
She asked.
It is indeed a good thing to get the Secret of Immortality.
But the people of the Qin family may have received news that something happened to their clan members.
The current outbreak of the beast tide may make them wary and dare not act rashly, but it is not ruled out that they will send people again to find the longevity secret and the whereabouts of their clan members.
She is very good at Qinggong, but others are average. What's more, the Qin family is one of the most powerful families in the Yan Kingdom, and its power is definitely not something that a woman like her can compete with.
If she was found again without Chen Fan by her side, she would definitely die.
"I?"
Chen Fan looked at her with a strange look and said, "What do you think?"
“I think you might stay, but...”
She was about to speak but stopped.
She admitted that the former was indeed very powerful.
But ferocious beasts are not vegetarians either. A million ferocious beasts are attacking a city. She doesn't dare to think about that scene. What's the difference between staying and saying something unpleasant and seeking death?
"If you are worried that the Qin family will find the Secret of Immortality if it is left on your body, you might as well hide it somewhere outside the city, take a look at it while you are practicing, and then hide it after you finish it. In this way, even if there is one in the end, One day, the Qin family came over and didn’t know your whereabouts.”
After Chen Fan finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
"Why!"
Wang Lingling wanted to say something else, but found that the other party's shadow had long since disappeared.
“Really, walking so fast.”
She muttered, looked at the parchment in her hand, and found that she was not as happy as she thought.
Indeed, this longevity secret is like a hot potato.
Even if she puts it into a space object, she can't isolate it from the Qin family's detection. If she wants to leave Anshan City and go to those big cities, it will be like throwing herself into a trap.
As for what Chen Fan said, finding a place to bury it is a good idea. The key is that there are many people and it will be dangerous if someone discovers it.
Unless she hides it and never opens it again, but in that case, what's the point of stealing this skill?
"The **** beast tide, why didn't it break out earlier or later, but it has to break out at this time? Should I continue to stay here now, or should I leave?"
She frowned.
