After the meeting ended, Wen Yu and Qin Tian returned upstairs to pack their things together.
Since they didn't know when the hunting group would arrive, Wen Yu and Qin Tian had to prepare early. They couldn't wait until the hunting group was right in front of them before heading to the Red Rock Canyon—who knows if the hunting group might change their target midway and take down Las Vegas first.
Therefore, the two had discussed it a while ago and decided to leave immediately after the meeting to camp in Red Rock Canyon for two days.
Wen Yu returned to his room and quickly organized his belongings—just the bedding, as the important items and clean clothes were all in the Spatial Ring.
Then, he took One-Eyed and Star and walked directly into the corridor.
...
Outside the corridor, Qin Tian was saying a tearful goodbye to his sister, constantly trying to comfort the weeping Qin Shiyuan.
“Ahem.”
Seeing Qin Shiyuan getting more and more emotional and Qin Tian looking increasingly helpless, Wen Yu coughed a couple of times to draw their attention back to him.
“It’s time to go.”
He said calmly and walked directly towards the elevator.
...
In less than a minute, Qin Tian had come over, smiled at Wen Yu, and moved his lips.
His mouth was forming the words: "Thank you."
Wen Yu replied with a lip-motion of his own: "You're welcome."
A few hours later, Wen Yu and Qin Tian had arrived at their predetermined defensive outpost, set up their tent, cleared the surrounding mutated beasts, and then lit a bonfire, quietly waiting for the hunting group to arrive.
...
At the current time, there was still a day left until the demonic disaster officially began.
Wen Yu and Qin Tian were idle in Red Rock Canyon, either adjusting their state or checking their skills and items.
However, other than the two of them, the entire world had already fallen into chaos.
...
In the Eternal Sky City, Lin Haifeng was holding a send-off for all the strong individuals affiliated with the military!
Sequence One—Tang Haofei.
Sequence Three—Walter.
Sequence Five—Caius.
Sequence Six—Fran.
Sequence Seven—Qin Min.
Sequence Nine—Lan Bo.
Sequence Ten—Vincent.
Aside from Wen Yu's team members, the remaining top ten strong individuals all belonged to the military, though Caius was just temporary.
Because the military had not yet located Arcade.
At this moment, Tang Haofei was making pre-battle arrangements.
“The demonic clan hunting group will come to hunt the human race rankings in various strange ways after the Demon Realm Gate opens. Each person will face different situations; it could be assassination, or brute force, or an ambush! And the timing is uncertain—they may launch a surprise attack at critical moments!”
After a brief pause, Tang Haofei continued, “Therefore, everyone will face unique situations, and as far as I know, there have been quite a few sequence members who have died at the hands of the demonic clan hunting group in the past!”
"But one thing is certain: the hunting group will prioritize their targets, and they can pinpoint your location. So to avoid the repercussions of battles affecting too many innocent people, everyone needs to stay as far away from gathering places as possible. This means aside from the traps set on the battlefield, we have no backup. At most, we could detonate a nuclear bomb when death is imminent..."
Tang Haofei made a silly joke that didn’t really make sense.
“I will personally go to Siberia to face the hunting group. The number of demonic creatures in each round of the hunting group will not exceed five, but we have no way of knowing how many there actually are, so don't let your guard down. I can give you a suggestion: when you kill more than three members of the demonic clan hunting group, you can return to the Beijing gathering place, even if there are still some left; they won't cause much of a storm.”
“That’s about it for the intel. I hope everyone can survive…”
After Tang Haofei finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Haifeng.
