Survival on Train: Something is wrong with my barbarian

Chapter 19 The Hidden Beast
When the manager heard the news that the hidden beast had attacked ahead of time, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

In the quiet room, he could even hear his own breathing.

"How could it be ahead of time?!" The manager had short blue and white hair and stuttered.

Hidden beasts, a general term for monsters living in the fog on the north side, they only attack the north side of Huangping City every winter.

But now, it's only early autumn!

There are still two and a half months until winter.

"Master Zor, those newly trained soldiers on the northern front can't stand it, you quickly call up the old soldiers and block it!" The soldier who came to report said in a panic.

Judging from his appearance, he was quite frightened by the situation on the northern line.

Zor also heard his reminder before regaining his senses:

"Yep!"

"Call out the old soldiers and block for a while."

"I'm going to summon."

As he spoke, he walked towards the back hall in a daze.

Seeing this, the soldiers hastily reminded:

"Master Zor, call the bell in the courtyard!"

"Ah! Yes, yes, it is the courtyard, the courtyard." Zoll turned his head as if he had lost his soul, and walked towards the bell tower of the summoning bell in the courtyard under the leadership of the soldiers.

No wonder he was so terrified.

In previous years, the grain reserves in Huangping City were very sufficient.

When facing the hidden beast on the northern line, he, the manager who has been in office for five years, has always followed the method of the previous generation. abdomen.

Let them go away on their own.

But this year, the grain harvest in Huangping City is in short supply, and the overall output has dropped by 80.00%!

The life of civilians in the city has become a problem.

How could there be food for him to feed the hidden beasts!
But if you don't feed the hidden beasts, those guys will keep attacking the northern front when they are hungry, and fill their stomachs by killing soldiers.

After all the soldiers are killed, it is inevitable that they will enter the city to prey while they are still hungry!

If they disperse on their own after cannibalizing people, Zor may not be as lost as he is now.

According to historical records.

After the hidden beasts enter the city, they will discharge a white mist that cannot be dispelled for decades in the city. As the hidden beasts cannot be dispelled and the mist continues to erode and spread, Huangping City will be reduced to a city of mist in just a few days. city.

by that time.

This place will become the territory of hidden beasts, and everyone in their barren city will become a backup meal for hidden beasts!

There are only two options: flee or wait for death.

However, Huangping City is the southernmost city in the human continent, where can they go after escaping from here?
north?That is the territory of hidden beasts.

He didn't even know how many or dozens of cities the Hermit Beast had controlled in the hundreds of years of cutting off contact with the southern continent!

The hope of survival is really slim!
Despair enveloped Zor's heart.

He didn't even know how he opened the gate of the Summoning Bell Tower protected by ten secret organs in a state of despair!

"Boom!"

"Boom~"

"Boom!!"

Ring it once, and the magical summoning bell made several long and loud sounds!

Under the vibration of the summoning bell, Zor slowly came back to his senses.

Looking at the arms of the wood that he was holding, a bitterness appeared on his face.

"block!"

"The hidden beast must be blocked, even if the civilians are used as food, the hidden beast must be blocked in the mist!" Zor closed his eyes and plotted loudly, and sent his arm holding the wood forward again.

The wood struck the summoning bell, and it sounded a bell that could be heard throughout the city!

"Clang~"

"Clang~!"

"Clang~~!"

Hearing the bell, the civilians who had already rested were awakened from their sleep in an instant!

The annual convening bell is ringing!

In a certain family's house, a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly jumped up from the bed and shouted to his wife:

"Huh? Daughter-in-law, find clothes for me, I have to wear clothes to go to the city wall on the northern line!"

"Hey, don't worry, it won't be less than 2 minutes, eat something before leaving!"

"Don't make trouble with your daughter-in-law! Where's my shoes? The summoning bell doesn't wait for anyone. Maybe I'll play for a while, and the hidden beast will rush in! You don't know that five years ago, the hidden beast rushed in and killed hundreds of families in a residential area. It's all covered in fog, and those people are still renting houses!"

"All right, all right, you are the most important thing! Here are the shoes!" The woman was obviously offended by her man's words, but when the man got dressed and went out.

She was still very worried and shouted:

"be careful."

"My child and I are waiting for you to come back at home."

Hearing his wife's exhortation, although the man said coldly, "Got it".

But in my heart, it was warm.

Participated in guarding the northern line for more than ten years.

What for?
Isn't it just for my daughter-in-law and my children to stay at home safely and safely, without having to face those terrifying and man-eating hidden beasts?
Isn't it just to be able to always have this sentence 'waiting for you back' before going out?

Walking on the road, the middle-aged man saw several juniors.

Say hello:

"Have you got the weapon?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, the juniors who were walking together quickly turned their heads with joy on their faces:
"Big brother, haven't you completely retired? Why are you still coming out?"

"Yeah, big brother, with your body, how can you still block the attack of the hidden beast?"

"Go back quickly, Big Brother, we can now be on our own!"

"You guys, what are you talking about!" The middle-aged man scolded them with a cold face:

"I'm only forty this year, and I'm in my prime. I have a hunch that I will be able to kill a hidden beast this year!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still as stubborn as ever.

Smiles rarely appeared on their faces:

"I brought two shields today, when the time comes, I will help you block it!"

"I'll help you too, big brother!"

"At that time, you will be responsible for killing and it will be over! By the way, I will test the results of my training in the past few months!"

With that said, more and more people gathered on the northern line.

There are more and more familiar faces.

Some thoughtful people whispered:

"This year's grain harvest is in short supply. It is said that the reduction in production has reached 80.00%. Is there still food in Huangping City to feed those hidden beasts?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Stupid, that's right, we went to the northern line, wouldn't it be to feed those hidden beasts?"

I was so excited to say this.

The voice inevitably spread.

The crowd fell silent.

Their eyes moved to him at the same time.

The smiling face of the middle-aged man before was even more frighteningly stiff at the moment.

Feel the cannibalistic eyes.

The person who said that they were going to serve as food for hidden beasts apologized bitterly to everyone:

"Sorry, sorry."

"My mouth stinks!"

"You shouldn't say those depressing words at this time, let's go to the northern line to support!"

With that said, he jumped out first by himself.

The middle-aged man watched his leaving back and shouted loudly:

"The rumors stop here!"

"We have to believe in Huangping City, believe in ourselves!"
