The Manta Ray Evil Birds had formed a thick black cloud on the other side of the mountain. Over seven kilometers away from the basin, Mo Fan’s group could already feel suffocating pressure from it. Mo Fan, Tangyue, Wen Xia, Mu Bai, Zhao Manyan, Lingling, and Jiang Shaoxu were absolutely dumbfounded by the sight!

“Are they pig heads!?” Lingling exclaimed in outrage.

They did so much work to drug the Manta Ray Evil Birds to take care of them all at once, but the military had somehow transported them away. Not only that, they simply left the creatures aside instead of trapping them and keeping them under control, allowing them to break free so easily!

They were gathering their brothers and sisters, who had also just woken up. Most of the flying in the air, but Lingling knew they would fully recover and reclaimed their savagery in no time. The Trash Town would soon suffer a serious blow!

In addition to that, the Manta Ray Evil Birds were extremely aggressive. They would not just stick to their own territory after coming inland, they would randomly attack every city they came upon. Most cities had already assigned their soldiers to the coastline, so they clearly lacked a defense against these flying creatures. The Manta Ray Evil Birds would be running amok in the skies above the cities!

“Oh my, those Battlemages are escorting goods instead of defending the town. Are they going to abandon the rest of the people there!?” Zhao Manyan pointed at the mine that was currently in a chaotic state.

“That son of a b**ch, he only cares about himself, even at a time like this!” Wen Xia trembled in anger. To think a person of that kind was competing in the election for the role of Great Councilman. If Mo Fan had not revealed his true nature, the city would surely have ended up terribly in the future!

“Wen Xia, notify the people of the Hongling Division at once and ask for their help,” Mo Fan told Wen Xia.

“Al…alright!” Wen Xia nodded.

The Honglai Silver Mine was just a trashy town, yet it still had thousands of workers, miners, and civilians. These people were like tiny gears operating Councilman Nan’s gold vault, but when there was danger, Councilman Nan could not have cared less about their lives. However, Mo Fan and the others could not just watch them die!

“Miss Tangyue, you and Mu Bai will evacuate the people to the emergency shelters to ensure they are safe,” Mo Fan said.

“Got it!” Tangyue and Mu Bai nodded.

They would have to save as many people as they could before the effects of the drug ran out. Mo Fan seriously had the urge to rush down there and beat the crap out of Councilman Nan!

“Old Zhao, come with me. We have to stop the creatures from reaching the town. Every second matters!” Mo Fan said.

“F**k me, why can’t you ask Mu Bai to go with you instead? I’m just an Advanced Mage. Let me evacuate the people instead!” Zhao Manyan shrieked.

“You can provide me with protection. Cut the bullshit, it’s time for you to accumulate some merits for your next life!” Mo Fan tightened his legs. The Moon-Devouring White Wolf immediately understood Mo Fan’s intention to charge ahead. It howled and jumped down the edge before charging into the basin.

“I’ve already accumulated enough merits in my previous life. Otherwise, how do you think I was born to the wealthiest family in the country… Holy crap, stop it, stop right now! Third Wolf? Fourth Wolf? Master Wolf, stop it right now, I don’t want to feed myself to the birds!” Zhao Manyan kept ordering the Moon-Devouring White Wolf he was on to stop, but it simply ignored his orders and followed Mo Fan…

Tangyue and Mu Bai rode their Moon-Devouring White Wolves into Honglai Town. The town was not particularly big. Most people were living on streets within two kilometers of the center. The rest of the structures were factories and warehouses. Apart from a few personnel on duty, most of the workers were already done for the day and headed home.

The streets were in a complete mess. Alarms were howling continuously. The demon birds’ cries sounded like a horde of beasts was about to charge into the town. They could even witness a terrifying sight when they looked at the mountains in the distance. A large group of creatures was circling in the night sky like enormous bats, slowly moving toward the town in a massive flock.

“Why are they running to the other side? Shouldn’t they be going to the underground shelters?” Tangyue was confused.

“I have no idea, perhaps they are in a panic,” Mu Bai said.

Mu Bai quickly stopped a Honglai Mage who was fleeing for his life. The man was wearing the uniform of a Battlemage, yet he was running away just like the others. The problem was, it was almost impossible to outrun the Manta Ray Evil Birds!

“Hey, where’s the entrance to the emergency shelters? Hurry up and bring these workers and their families to the shelters. There’s no way you can run away from those flying creatures. You have to hide!” Mu Bai told the Honglai Mage.

“There’s no emergency shelters here. The division in the Hongling Mountains is the safest place for us. We’ll be safe if we can reach it,” the Honglai Mage said while trembling.

“My Heavens, even a small mining outpost would have an underground shelter. Why would a mining town not have emergency shelters!?” Tangyue exclaimed.

“Who knows, the government here is like vampires. Don’t you see how dilapidated the buildings are in this town!?” the Honglai Mage said.

Tangyue and Mu Bai fell silent. Their chests were soon filled with irresistible anger!

There was no emergency shelter!?

How terrible was this mining town?! Did the government not treat these workers seriously?!

“That Councilman Nan deserves to go to Hell!” Mu Bai was enraged.

“I’ll go kill him right now!” Tangyue snarled.

The man was already rotten from the inside. There was no point in hoping he would change and repent. He had abandoned the domestication ranch over ten years ago to cover up the mess, which had eventually turned into a huge threat on Dawn Island. After so many years, he had become even more rotten. He did not bother constructing an emergency shelter, the most important thing an outpost, a mining town, or a mining city strictly required according to the country’s laws, let alone a propoer safety barrier!

Mu Bai watched the demon birds approaching in the form of a huge black cloud. He glanced at the crowd that was moving slowly behind him. He could not help but grieve for them.

Whether they survived or ended up as food to the demon birds was all up to the Heavens to decide…

However, it was a human who had caused this tragedy to happen, the Councilman these people had voted for themselves!
