The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Professor Ye, standing to the side, also had a very serious expression.

The air seemed stagnant.

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Ning turned to Professor Ye beside him and said in a steady voice, "Professor Ye, please inform all core members to convene an emergency meeting and gather in the conference room."

Professor Ye nodded immediately, without asking any further questions, and turned to leave as quickly as possible.

Han Ning picked up the communicator again and tried to call out again: "Feilong? Please respond if you hear me and report your situation."

There was only a series of intermittent gnawing sounds in response from the other end of the communicator.

Han Ning expressionlessly cut off the communication, tucked it back into his waistband, and went to notify Xiao Ba to call its brothers over.

Then proceed to the conference room.

Soon, Zhao Kai, Yu Na, President Wu, Lin Qianqian, and the core members including the patrol and guard team leader, as well as several extraordinary bees such as Xiao Ba, all gathered in the conference room.

Everyone was completely bewildered when Han Ning suddenly called them here.

But everyone understands that the boss won't urgently summon them unless it's something important.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the hall was serious, and everyone realized from Han Ning's cold expression that something big was about to happen.

"Boss, what happened?" Zhao Kai asked in a deep voice first.

Han Ning stood in front of the main seat, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said, "We just received an emergency distress call from Feilong in the Iron Tiger Gathering Area."

"The water ghouls have found their gathering area and their offensive seems to be very fierce. They are unable to resist, and the distress signal was interrupted by the sounds of battle. Feilong and his men may have encountered an enemy they cannot defeat."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the council chamber changed.

Chapter 252 Emergency Discussion

“How did the water corpse ghost find that place?” Zhao Kai frowned.

"It seems they've discovered our whereabouts."

"If that's the case, then our settlement area is very likely to be exposed to the water ghouls' tracking range as well."

"In terms of distance, the Iron Tiger settlement is closest to the sea, followed by the highland outpost, and then us."

He looked at the crowd.

"As the saying goes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I've gathered everyone here, and I'd like to hear your opinions. What are your thoughts?"

"It's essential to go to the Iron Tiger gathering area to gather intelligence, and we also need to guard against water zombie attacks at home," Chairman Wu said after thinking for a moment.

"Boss, should we send an intelligence team to Iron Tiger to gather intelligence?" Zhao Kai asked Han Ning.

All eyes turned to Han Ning, awaiting his answer.

"Everyone and Xuebing should remain in the gathering area. Raise the alert level and activate all defensive fortifications. Professor Ye and Chairman Wu, reassure the newly arrived teachers and students of the Agricultural University and do not disclose any information that may cause panic."

His gaze shifted to the few bee companions lying on the soft cushion:

"Xiao Ba, Lan Jing, He Yan, Lü Rui, you take some of your people and come with me."

"Coo coo!" Little Eight's antennae twitched, and it answered.

The other three large bees also vibrated their wings to indicate that they understood.

"Boss, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!" Zhao Kai couldn't help but step forward.

“We can all fly, and even if there are unexpected situations, we have the advantage of high altitude. Moreover, I think home is the most important place. The water ghouls could launch an attack at any time, and the Iron Tiger gathering area is a lesson from the past.”

Han Ning scanned everyone with a serious expression and said in a deep voice,

"I fly very fast, so if there is any danger at home, I can return immediately."

"But if we send out an elite force, and our home is invaded by water ghouls, the speed at which the outgoing force returns to defend will definitely not be as fast as mine."

"I understand..." Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what Han Ning said made sense and did not insist any further.

Most importantly, they have great confidence in Mr. Han's capabilities.

He didn't delay any longer, waiting until Xiao Ba and the others had gathered a group of more than 30 bees.

A group of creatures arrived at the gate of the settlement.

A slight swirling current emanated from Han Ning's body, and his form rapidly changed amidst the interplay of emerald green and silvery white light, transforming in the blink of an eye into the magnificent Starry Owl.

He spread his wings, and dozens of streaks of light of different colors followed closely behind, quickly disappearing into the gray sky.

...

Meanwhile, the Iron Tiger stronghold had been transformed into a bloody inferno.

The once sturdy wooden fence has been torn open with several huge gaps.

Limbs and broken weapons were scattered everywhere, and dark red blood almost soaked the muddy ground in the settlement.

"Stop them! Don't let them rush into the crowd!"

A hoarse roar echoed from the hillside behind the Iron Tiger settlement.

The sound came from a huge lizard, nearly three meters long, covered in bluish-green scales.

It stood upright, its muscular forelimbs lashing out with a sharp, piercing sound, as invisible blades of air sliced ​​through a water ghoul that was trying to pounce on the crowd behind it.

boom!

The water ghoul's chest was cut open, and it flew backward as if hit by a heavy truck, knocking over several of its kind in succession.

Below were at least several hundred water ghosts, their bodies covered in dark green scales, a vast expanse of green.

At least several dozen equally large water ghouls broke away from their companions and launched a frenzied attack on the survivors in the Iron Tiger settlement.

At the very back of the water ghouls, a slender water ghoul, dressed in seaweed clothing and with eyes that gleamed with intelligence, stood on a patch of deep blue water, coldly watching the scene unfold.

The flying dragon has completely transformed into the form of a "flying dragon".

His thick lizard tail was charred black, and there was a deep claw mark on his waist, from which blood was gushing. His movements were clearly slowed by the pain.

"Roar, I'll fight you to the death!"

On the other side, a ferocious wild boar, whose size was no less than that of a dragon, with mane like steel needles and tusks protruding, was charging left and right with its eyes red.

Its body was covered with wounds of varying depths, the deepest of which almost exposed the bone.

But it completely ignored everything, and the wounds only fueled its bloodlust. Like a giant tank, its momentum remained fierce, smashing and sending flying the water ghouls that blocked its path.

"Huh~"

Chen Hu made a turn, and two streams of white steam, like arrows, shot out from the pig's snout.

Suddenly, they saw a middle-aged man lagging behind being dragged down by a sharp claw that emerged from the shadows.

"Ah! Help..."

The middle-aged man's screams abruptly stopped.

In the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed by several water ghosts, letting out a desperate scream.

"You...you beasts, I'll kill you all!"

Chen Hu's eyes were bloodshot, and steam was billowing from his ears. He kept scratching his pig's trotters as he charged towards the water ghost that had killed the middle-aged man.

"Ah Hu, come back! Don't be impulsive!" Fei Long shouted anxiously upon seeing this, smashing the head of another water ghost beside him with a claw, trying to chase after it, but was entangled by more enemies.

"I'll stop him!" a slightly muffled voice rang out.

Suddenly, a tall fish-man with a huge green fish head, thick, slippery scales, and webbed fingers opened his mouth and spewed out a powerful stream of water.

The water flow wasn't attacking the water ghoul, but rather it precisely struck Chen Hu's hind leg in his boar form, forming a round bubble that kept pulling him back.

Chen Hu's momentum faltered, and he glared angrily at Li Qingshui.

"Tiger, you can't go! There are too many monsters over there. You'll get trapped!"

Li Qingshui kept manipulating the bubbles, trying to bring the deranged Chen Hu back to his senses.

His condition was also not good; one arm was twisted unnaturally, and several scales were missing from the fish's head, which was constantly oozing blood.

With this slight delay, Feilong finally forced his way through the entanglement and rushed to Chen Hu's side. His huge lizard head slammed into the wild boar's head: "Wake up! Do you want everyone to die here?!"

"I can't stand by and watch! Our people are being brutally murdered by these beasts!!"

Chen Hu was panting heavily, his bloodshot eyes staring at the pool of flesh being rapidly devoured in the distance, letting out a painful and unwilling roar, but at least he didn't rush out again.

Around them were the hundreds of awakened survivors from the Iron Tiger settlement, all wounded, standing back to back, forming a shaky circular defensive line.

Around the front line were hundreds of ordinary people, their faces ashen.

They huddled near the circle of awakened ones, stumbling and running frantically toward safety.

However, water ghouls kept emerging from the shadows of collapsed buildings, gaps in fences, and even underground, trying to bypass the Awakened Ones' defenses and pounce on these easy targets.

Every breakthrough means the loss of one or even several lives.

Chapter 253 Suppression

The Awakened Ones tried desperately to intercept them, but their defenses were too weak, the enemies were too numerous, and their strength was astonishing.

Let alone ordinary people, even those awakened beings who haven't reached the Black Stone level will be smashed into pieces by a single claw from the water corpse demon.

"Brother Long, watch out! Five more are coming from the right!" A young Awakened One with blood streaming down his face warned in a hoarse voice.

Feilong quickly turned his head and saw five four-limbed, crawling water ghosts silently emerging from behind a pile of rubble and pouncing on the flank of the crowd.

"Clear water!" Feilong shouted urgently.

Li Qingshui took a deep breath, opened his mouth again, and a stream of icy water mixed with fine ice shards sprayed out, slowing down the speed of the water zombies.

"Aya, bring someone to fill in," Feilong immediately ordered.

A pretty woman immediately rushed over with two less seriously injured Awakened.

But everyone knows that this is just a short-sighted solution.

Their physical strength and energy are being consumed rapidly.

Although the number of water ghouls is not infinite.

However, each one possesses at least Black Stone-level strength, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
