Chapter 164: Casualties
"Why aren't you here? We spent 50,000 gold coins on this!"
The middle-aged summoner roared crazily in his heart, and he wished those people could teleport to him.
"Crack, crackle, crackle!"
There were bursts of crackling sounds like firecrackers, and a strong smell of burning penetrated into the nose of the middle-aged summoned beast. When he looked back, half of the mutated grasshopper's body was turned into charcoal, and the other half was twitching on the ground.
"Hoo ho!"
The middle-aged summoned beast stopped, panted violently, and gave a handful of cold bets.
"I didn't expect that mutated creatures would appear so close to the border of Hope Guild..."
Others also learned that they had been rescued, and their legs suddenly became weak, and a sense of exhaustion spread throughout their bodies, as if they could not even lift a finger.
Life and death often come in an instant. The middle-aged summoner made the right choice, and the five members of the team finally survived.
"You are very lucky. We just happened to patrol here, otherwise we might not be able to make it in time."
came a gentle voice.
Just now, the middle-aged summoned beast just ran forward without paying attention to the side. At this time, he turned his head and looked to the right. A mage led 6 patrol members towards him.
This mage holds a glowing white stone in his hand. He looks very young, has short hair, and wears a robe with a lightning pattern printed on it. He has a calm and calm temperament.
The most impressive thing is the eyes of this mage. Seeing his eyes as bright as stars, the middle-aged summoned beast can't help but think of the word wisdom.
"Lord Freitas, will you personally lead the patrol?"
The middle-aged summoner calmed down his mood of escaping, and the lightning mage said respectfully.
“Around the guild, monster activities are becoming more and more frequent.
"Now even the edge positions are no longer safe. The guild will issue a notice soon, telling you not to go out recently."
The lightning mage did not answer his question, but only warned the middle-aged summoner, and then left with the patrol.
The middle-aged summoner looked at his leaving figure. The joy of surviving the disaster faded little by little, and his heart became heavy.
He looked at the four young people around him, thinking about their future and his own, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Hope Guild, Round Table Chamber.
Schneider sat on the left side of the meeting leader, her temperament becoming more condensed.
Schneider's lips parted slightly, and his unique voice had a special appeal that was unforgettable after listening to it once.
"I have understood what the first-level managers have said."
"It is difficult to give everyone a clear understanding of the current situation simply by describing it in words."
"So, I asked Little Lantern to make a briefing map for everyone to look at."
Schneider waved his hand, and a three-dimensional map projection appeared on the table.
The main part of the map is the Hope Guild and the surrounding jungle.
On the map, red dots flashed on the map.
These red dots range from large to small. The deeper you go into the jungle, the denser the red dots become.
The red dots represent events. You can click on them and relevant event descriptions will appear.
"On January 25, all 8 members of Hou Tian's team were wiped out here. The type of monster encountered is unknown."
"On January 26, yesterday, a team of 11 people encountered a mutated snake here, and only one person survived."
"On January 28, Team Rose encountered a swarm of mutated six-eyed beetles here and were defeated. After Alijie was cut off, all members survived."
"On January 28, the Blood Vine Team encountered a mutated horned frog here. The Blood Vine Team was defeated and one person died. The remaining team members were all seriously injured and fled back to the guild."
"On January 29, the No. 1 and No. 2 regiments of the first-level combat regiment encountered a wave of mutated beasts here, and 59 people died."
"On January 29, the No. 4 Regiment of the First Level Combat Regiment encountered a large number of high-star monsters here, killing 39 people."
“January 30,…………
"February 1,
"On February 3, due north of the Guild of Hope, at the edge of the defensive formation, a pair of patrol teams encountered mutated earthworms. Three team members were instantly devoured, and the mutated earthworms were killed by the incoming assistance."
On February 2, a team of 100 people was completely wiped out here, leaving only a deep ravine on the scene. "
"On February 3, southwest of the Hope Guild, at the edge of the defensive formation, a group of five members of the Green Grass Team encountered a mutated grasshopper and were rescued by the first-level manager Freitas."
"February 3,…………
"February 4th,...
The Hope Guild is surrounded by red dots, and each red dot represents a vicious event involving a powerful monster.
Among these vicious incidents, only a very small number of people were not killed. In the remaining incidents, the death toll ranged from one person to hundreds.
In the more than ten days since Su Xiao left, the death toll in Hope Guild has reached more than 1,500 people, with an average of more than 100 people dying a day.
0......Please give me flowers 00
The development speed of Hope Guild is much faster than other gathering places. Even Hope Guild has caused so many casualties, let alone other cities.
Shocking events unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, directly impacting their thinking.
When Su Xiao exists, death is almost a false proposition. Even if it occurs, it is a negligible number.
"I didn't expect that the matter has become so serious."
"Or is this the normal state of the world now?"
"These monsters seem to be more manageable to deal with than before."
"Obviously they have been eliminated several times before, so why do these monsters come to the Hope Guild again?"
Thoughts flashed through the minds of managers.
"Originally, the development of the guild was smooth... As soon as Mr. Su Xiao left, we were knocked back to our original shape?"
"Master Su Xiao is the top of this pyramid and the strongest foundation of this golden tower.
When thinking about this, they inevitably thought of Su Xiao.
Although they knew from the beginning that Su Xiao was the guild's anchor, they did not expect that Su Xiao's significance to the guild was greater than they imagined.
An hour later, Schneider spoke:
"I believe that everyone here has a clear understanding of the current situation."
"In the past half month, the death toll has reached 157."
"If the president comes back, I believe he will not want to see such a number."
Schneider paused for a moment and continued:
"It is clear that as time went on, the situation worsened and the number of casualties increased significantly."
“The location where the incident occurred is also getting closer to the guild.
"In this regard, I have something to announce to you.
Schneider's tone was calm and left no room for doubt.
"Monsters are watching, and it's no longer safe outside.
"I declare that I hope the guild will enter a state of emergency preparation."
"Close the city gates and no one is allowed to go out."
"All first-level managers will formulate an emergency preparation plan within half a day.
"Meeting dismissed."
The first-level managers left one after another. Schneider looked at the empty chair next to him and was in a daze.
"What will happen next?"
