Chapter 101 Aren’t They Just Level 30 Poisonous Disaster Beasts? We Have Killed 18 of Them.

Chapter 101 Aren't They Just Level 30 Poisonous Disaster Beasts? We Have Killed 18 of Them.

Soon, in the rear area of Defense Zone 50, all the recruits silently reached a collective understanding.

There were now three absolute core forces in the area.

Whenever they encountered a disaster beast they couldn't handle, there was one simple rule—run towards one of these three groups, and you'll be saved.

These three powerhouses were:

Feng Wu's group.

Xu Yan's group.

Liang Qiu's team.

Feng Wu's team had always been the strongest group, as their leader was ranked first among the top 100 recruits.

But up until recently, they had played things safe—mostly containing high-level disaster beasts while focusing on low-level kills.

Then, something changed overnight.

Feng Wu's group suddenly went crazy.

They ignored low-level beasts completely and started hunting only Level 25+ disaster beasts.

If a high-level beast was already being fought by another team, they stole it.

It was as if every high-level disaster beast had personally wronged them.

To the recruits, there was no doubt—Feng Wu's team was now the strongest core group.

If a beast couldn't be defeated, run to them.

---

Next was Liang Qiu's team.

This team was wild.

They always acted alone—never working with others.

Instead of picking fights strategically, they attacked anything that moved.

It didn't matter what level the beast was—if Liang Qiu's team saw it, it died.

They especially loved to attack waves of small beasts, cutting through them like demons.

To the recruits, they were both terrifying and reassuring.

If you stuck close to Liang Qiu's team, you were safe.

---

Finally, there was Xu Yan's group.

Compared to the other two, they didn't seem as impressive at first glance.

Their kill speed was slower, and they didn't seem to be in a rush.

In fact, some recruits even suspected that they were holding back on purpose.

It almost looked like they were playing with the disaster beasts.

And yet—no matter what level the enemy was, even Level 30 disaster beasts, they dared to mess around.

No one understood why, but one thing was certain—this group was deadly.

Some even speculated that if they fought seriously, they might actually be the strongest force in Defense Zone 50.

---

At this time, a full week had passed since the second counterattack of the beast tide.

Xu Yan's plan was going smoothly.

All members of Xu Yan's team had reached Level 18.

Zhou Min, Xu Ying, and the others had all reached Level 16.

Wu Dayong, Pang Fei, and Lu Meng had all reached Level 26.

Liang Qiu was now Level 28.

The average earnings per person had reached 20 million.

And thanks to Bai Ding's incredible luck, Feng Wu had already hit his personal goal of 10 million yuan and had reached Level 29.

Everyone felt indebted to Xu Yan.

Everything was going exactly as planned.

---

But on the morning of the eighth day, something felt wrong.

There were no disaster beasts.

Not a single one.

How was that possible?

Defense Zone 50 had been filled with beasts just the day before!

And yet, there was nothing.

Xu Yan checked with the frontline forces, but the beast tide hadn't been repelled.

After some digging, he found out what happened.

---

Apparently, an instructor in Defense Zone 50 had reached Level 40 and successfully completed his second profession advancement.

His profession?

Ice Mage.

But after advancing, he became an Extremely Rare Class—Frost Master.

The result?

He froze the entire battlefield.

All invisible disaster beasts? Revealed.

All flying disaster beasts? Frozen and dropped.

All ground disaster beasts? Completely immobilized.

In an instant, Defense Zone 50 became an impenetrable fortress.

This instructor could have moved up to the second line of defense, where he would earn more merit and prestige.

But he refused.

Instead, he chose to stay in Defense Zone 50, ensuring absolute security for the recruits.

Now, the commander-in-chief of the third line of defense personally praised the instructor's decision.

All the other instructors were ecstatic—they could finally focus on doing their job without worrying about the recruits.

Even most of the new recruits were celebrating.

No more facing terrifying poisonous beasts.

It was a great thing for them.

---

But for Xu Yan, it was a disaster.

With the front line completely sealed off, not a single beast could escape.

No more fights.

No more leveling up.

And if he couldn't reach Level 20, his plan to sneak into the voodoo clan's base and kill the Poison Dragon baby would fail.

Which meant…

Baitan City was doomed.

Xu Yan was still two levels away from 20.

And recruits under Level 30 weren't allowed on the front line.

That meant waiting for the first line of defense to break.

And if that happened… it would be too late.

The third line of defense would become the second line of defense.

Disaster beasts wouldn't start at Level 30 anymore—they'd start at Level 40.

By then, all the new recruits would be evacuated.

And Xu Yan?

He would lose his chance.

No.

That couldn't happen.

He had to leave Defense Zone 50— now.

---

But it wasn't that easy.

The third line of defense had a commander-in-chief in charge.

Each defense zone's personnel and strategy were carefully planned.

If Xu Yan wanted to switch zones, he needed a valid reason.

Which meant…

He had to find another way.

Xu Yan gathered his team—including Feng Wu.

"Guys, we have a problem," Xu Yan said.

"We're not getting any more monsters."

"No monsters means no money and no leveling up."

"We need to change defense zones."

"But since everything is carefully planned, we need a good excuse to get permission."

"Anyone got an idea?"

The group fell silent.

Then…

Pang Fei raised his hand.

"...The commander-in-chief of the third line of defense is my older cousin…"

Everyone froze.

Xu Yan blinked.

Wait.

Pang Fei had mentioned his cousin before.

But he never said she was the commander-in-chief.

Xu Yan grabbed Pang Fei's shoulders.

"Pang Fei, I'm leaving this entire thing to you!"

"...I'll give it a shot. It should be fine…"

---

Thirty minutes later.

Pang Fei called his cousin, Song Lingxuan—the commander-in-chief of the third line of defense.

The moment she picked up, she yelled at him.

"Are you out of your mind!?"

"You stayed in the third line of defense without telling me!?"

"Now you want to switch to Zone 25!?"

"Zone 25 is a disaster!"

"It's filled with Level 30 poisonous disaster beasts!"

"You wouldn't last five minutes in there!"

Pang Fei patiently waited for her to finish ranting.

Then, in a calm voice, he said:

"Level 30 poisonous disaster beasts…?"

"We've already killed 18."

Silence.

Then—

"...What did you just say!?"
