Chapter 411: Chapter 326: World Defense Circle, Erected! (Two-in-One)

Base City Number Sixteen, a giant base city that has yet to be officially named.

It was messy, with hastily-built shacks crowded together, the road in front allowing less than a meter of passage. It was teeming with people of white and black and all skin colors, many with unkempt hair and worn clothes like refugees.

In fact, it was not much different.

Unlike Dong Huang, during the mass migration period, most cities maintained order, and people could take a few personal belongings when they left their homes.

The vast lands radiating from Base City Sixteen had already suffered greatly from the Mysterious Evil and the Red Moon, because there had been no order for some time, and it was very difficult to gather a sufficient number of survivors.

For this reason, the Blue Star Alliance adopted a different strategy, no longer moving people city by city.

Instead,

they first established temporary settlements in various regions, sheltering survivors scattered throughout the cities, as well as incorporating large civilian survivor camps.

This plan started more than ten days ago.

A large amount of military and material resources were invested. The civilian survivor camps here were not easy to provoke, some were born from thugs, including Awakeners, and many had plenty of firearms and weapons.

When Area 51 reduced its forces, protecting only a few cities, these thugs could brazenly raid police stations and empty out boxes of weapons and ammunition.

However, the thugs hadn’t been in power for two days before the Flame powerhouses arrived.

They brought hope and light.

Third-tier Awakeners could easily dodge rifle bullets, demolish walls bare-handed, and still faced some difficulty against a group of armed thugs and a few Awakeners if they were without equipment.

But Flame powerhouses wore combat suits that rifle bullets couldn’t penetrate, and when facing these thugs, they didn’t wield swords but used inexpensive handguns and rifles instead.

The era had not changed, but it was now more convenient.

Sometimes, for the more troublesome large survivor camps, Fourth-tier elites would arrive.

Mainly to intimidate.

Strolling through a hail of bullets, with just a pinch between the index and middle finger, they could easily catch bullets aimed at themselves.

If we say that the first three tiers of Awakeners were still within the range that light weapons could deal with, once it reached the fourth tier, the era truly changed. Without an armored force surrounding, without artillery fire coverage, without an open environment, the Fourth-tier non-humans could come and go freely.

Xiao Lu could awe those large survivor camps with one move.

And they turned these camps into temporary gathering points and transit stations for migration, arranged for personnel to be stationed, and survivor groups from the surrounding areas would converge here. Once there were enough people, they would migrate to the base city in groups arranged by the Flame.

Nine days ago, when the Red Moon loomed, only a small part of the migration work for Base City Sixteen had been completed, with many more survivors still dispersed across these ’transit camps’.

These camps had also been allocated Purification Orbs, which allowed them to survive.

"Lucky I knew how to act at the right time, and submitted in time. Otherwise, even if those strong men in black with fire patterns spared me, under that Red Moon, my entire gathering place would have been decimated. This disaster isn’t something humans can fight against."

The muscular man who spoke was named Qiong Sen, a second-tier Awakening powerhouse.

Because of his strength, he could pull together a team and swiftly establish his own power amidst the collapse of order—creating a vast survivor gathering place.

In the entire region, he was a well-known figure.

However, after witnessing the power of those in black with fire patterns, Qiong Sen no longer dared consider himself a top fighter.

"What Leader Qiong Sen said is right. Not to mention other things, but the Mysterious Evil is becoming increasingly terrifying. Sometimes I’m even afraid to sleep in case a powerful Mysterious Evil suddenly appears," said another leader of a large gathering place, once upon a time.

"Our Base City Sixteen has also seen quite a number of Mysterious Evil lately. That white bone Knight that appeared on East Avenue yesterday was terrifying. I almost got stabbed to death."

"But such Mysterious Evil were still dispatched by those strong men in black with fire patterns with just a few moves... Hey brother, who do you think those powerhouses are? Are they from Dong Huang?"

Qiong Sen stroked his stubble, "I’ve heard a bit of news that those in black with fire patterns come from a mysterious place, where there are complete methods for training, strengthening, and Awakening."

After making inquiries, Qiong Sen learned something else.

Leaders of gathering places like him who surrendered in time had an opportunity for assessment, and if they passed, they could go to that mysterious place to train and become stronger—strong as those people in black with fire patterns!

And the general content of the assessment...

Those details didn’t need to be shared with this simpleton.

As a surrendered leader of a gathering place and also a capable warrior, Qiong Sen and others were tasked with helping maintain law and order, but this order was barely held together.

The migration process for the base city was rushed, and it was comprised of refugees from various places. Without saying it was utterly chaotic, it was close enough.

Brawls and fights happened frequently, and there were people who would draw guns over petty squabbles—some even fired and killed others on the spot.

The most serious, of course, was the proliferation of Mysterious Evil. Even with those mysterious strongmen acting swiftly to kill them, the mere presence of a powerful Mysterious Evil could spread their influence enough to cause serious casualties in the vicinity.

"This base city is like a powder keg, very oppressive, ready to blow at any moment."

"Even though it’s much safer here than outside, many brainless fools don’t consider these issues. They only vent their frustrations."
