Another World Mall-Chapter 517: Decision

"Not good!"

"Not good!"

"The epicenter is in the sea bed, located 120 km southwest of the coast of Rinjuana. The magnitude is 8.2 Richter scale. There is a high chance of a tsunami."

"Sir. There is potential that a Tier 7 beast will be coming out of the Great Beast Forest. Base 059 is requesting reinforcement."

"Locasta City is also asking for reinforcement."

There were more and more reinforcement requests coming from all over the place.

The commander at the headquarters gnashed his teeth, looking at the map. The earthquake had been projected on the screen, allowing him to assess the situation better.

"The 3rd and 7th battalions will immediately set off to Base 059. The 1st, 4th, and 5th battalions will go to Base 059 at your pace. The 2nd Battalion will go to…" The commander gave the order based on the severity of the damage.

As expected, he sent thirty percent of them to Base 059. He knew what would happen if Base 059 were to fall.

And currently, Base 059 didn’t have enough manpower to handle such a huge beast wave.

"We might need to send a Tier 8 human to control the situation over there."

The commander gnashed his teeth. "Tell General Grey to head to base 059."

"Yes, sir!"

The commander’s expression turned grim, thinking about the potential of an aftershock. It could be said that this one beast wave might not be the only one they had to stop.

Of course, the commander wasn’t the only one panicking right now. Even Hana was clutching her head. "How can there be an earthquake at this timing? How unlucky Clovis’ group is for them to experience something like this…"

Hana bit her lips. She wanted to contact her grandfather, but the latter had actually called her first.

"Grandfather!"

"It doesn’t seem that I have to tell you what you need to do."

"Yes. I’m planning to send reinforcements over there. No, we can cooperate with the army and lend them one battleship. This should be enough for the reinforcement."

"That should be fine. Are you okay over there?"

"Yes. It’s shaking a bit, but I’m far from the epicenter, so it doesn’t feel much."

"Alright then."

Hana hung up and immediately arranged for her own reinforcement. She had to help Clovis for the sake of the future.

Meanwhile, Clovis was actually planning to do an even more reckless thing.

Clovis turned to Luci. "We’ll head out right now to help the people on the road. If they are getting attacked, there’s a high chance they will die. They have nothing but themselves to fend off the beasts."

Luci looked shocked but soon nodded her head. "It will be dangerous though. The military must not have enough manpower to send reinforcement."

"Yes." Clovis was aware of this matter. However, he had three reasons for this decision. The first was definitely Reolf.

Even if they fought here, Reolf wouldn’t be able to do anything. In fact, staying here for too long would just increase the chance of him being exposed.

The second reason was the lives of those people. It was true that he wasn’t that good of a guy, but he was still a decent human being. If there was indeed someone needing his help, he should help.

The third reason was the distance. While it was true the situation was dangerous, he could always pull back because he wouldn’t cover the entire road, only the ones near the base. In other words, the situation wouldn’t be as dangerous as it seemed.

Of course, the first reason was the most important. That was the only place where Reolf could also actively take part in the battle after all.

After Luci finished the basic treatment, she immediately got up and headed to the bus with Clovis.

"Are we going to save them as well?"

"Yes. We’ll split the group into two. You, Kanaria, Ragna, and Jay will be the first group. Your main objective is to save people and head to the base. As the commander said, this place is the most dangerous but the safest at the same time.

"As long as the soldiers are still fighting, they will be safe." Clovis nodded.

"I understand Ragna, but Jay? Isn’t Melody more suitable to help us?" Luci tilted her head in confusion.

"This is uncharted territory for me as well. I don’t know if there would be beasts suddenly coming in your direction. Hence, I will ask Jay to stay with you guys.

"Meanwhile, Melody will be helpful on the front. I’m planning to move a bit far from the rescue squad to avoid them finding Reolf. More importantly, she can fly, so she is more flexible than Jay."

"I see." Luci nodded in understanding.

Before he could continue, he got a call from Hana.

The moment he picked up the call, Hana’s scream immediately rang. "I have sent a battleship!"

Clovis was taken aback but immediately said, "Calm down for a second."

Hana took a deep breath. "Alright. How is the situation over there?"

"It’s chaotic. How about over there?"

"It’s safe. From what I have heard, they are sending a few battalions to your place. In fact, a few fighter jets should be arriving pretty soon. It should be enough to take some burden off your shoulders. The problem will be whether that is enough or not. After all, while the fighter jets have enough firepower, it doesn’t change the fact that the beasts are more agile.

The flying beasts might end up destroying several of them if they are not careful."

Clovis agreed with her. "For now, we will be moving separately from them."

"Are you insane?!" Hana screamed at him.

Clovis smiled wryly. "I know, I know. It can’t be helped. Besides, this will be beneficial for my group’s reputation. And we can also gain some extra essence. We should be able to get away if we are forced to."

"Do you know—"

Hana wanted to reprimand him, but Clovis had hung up. "Bye."

Clovis could imagine Hana cursing him, but they simply had no time to waste.
