The Shadow Student explained the situation. Mofan let him lead the way and went to take a look himself.
The sky was getting dark. He could use his Shadow Ability more freely. He followed the Shadow Student through the town and arrived at the school in the back street of the town.
"They're all inside?" Mofan was a little surprised.
"Yes, and they're not in the building," the Shadow Student said.
Mofan followed the Shadow Student into the school. The school seemed to be a little run-down. Most of the children now went to school in the bigger cities. Most of the schools in the town didn't have many students.
There was a small hill behind the school building. It was covered with weeds.
"There's a bomb shelter inside." The Shadow Student pointed at a cave half-submerged in the water.
Mofan looked carefully. He found that the hill wasn't made of mud. It was actually made of very strong rocks.
A bomb shelter was actually a shelter.
At this time, the surrounding river water had basically flooded up to the entrance of the cave. The hill was only the size of a house. It couldn't possibly accommodate the size of a small town.
In that case, all the residents were underground?
And they were even below the river water!
"The seal is very tight. The water can't seep in at all. If I didn't find a vent at the top of the weeds, I wouldn't have found this place," the Shadow Student said proudly. It was rare for him to show off in front of his senior.
"Well done. We'll go in through the vent," Mofan said.
"There's an isolation barrier. I can't go in," the Shadow Student said awkwardly.
"It's fine. Come with me."
…
What kind of cultivation did Mofan have? How could a normal isolation barrier block his Fleeing Shadow?
They went through the vent. This vent was very hidden and long. Even if the sea monsters found something wrong with the airflow here, they would probably give up in the end because it looked more like some gopher hole or snake hole.
After a few twists and turns, and even some forks, Mofan finally found the location of the isolation barrier.
"Chaos Trick?"
Mo Fan was rather surprised. The vent had been set up as a "camouflage" so that most creatures would think that they were already at the bottom of the cave even if they explored this place.
No wonder that group of sea monsters kept wandering around the town and never found this place.
Mofan and the student rushed in, and not long after, the rotating fan of the vent appeared.
After passing through the fan, a very spacious underground air-raid shelter suddenly appeared. Mofan and the student heard very soft voices …
"Something's wrong!"
Suddenly, an extremely nervous voice sounded.
A few Magicians in leather jackets quickly gathered at the vent. Their eyes were fixed on a shadow.
"Don't be nervous. I'm a student of the Pearl Institute. I'm here to save you." The Shadow Student revealed his true form.
The mage in leather looked at him in surprise.
There was finally a response to the distress signal he sent out. That was great!
"All the residents of the town are here?" Mofan's voice suddenly sounded.
The Magicians in leather jackets were all shocked. They turned around as if they had seen a ghost.
Especially the ponytailed girl who was closest to Mofan. Her face was filled with fear. She did not know when Mofan had barged in.
"Cough cough, this is my senior … His cultivation is quite high, you just didn't notice him." The Shadow Student quickly explained.
"Oh, oh, oh."
The Magicians in leather jackets were the City Hunters in this area.
It seemed like this evacuation was organized by them.
To Mofan's surprise, the air-raid shelter was about the size of a basketball stadium. It was densely packed with people, men and women of all ages …
There were a lot of people here, but it was not mixed at all.
Every family had their own small area. They drank water, slept, and rested with their eyes closed. Some people were talking, but their voices were very soft.
Under normal circumstances, a basketball stadium that could accommodate almost ten thousand people would be filled with people. The noise could be heard even from outside the street.
The place was relatively quiet. There was no sign of panic, crying, or screaming. Everyone seemed to be relatively calm.
In a disaster, even a team would have disagreements, arguments, and emotional fluctuations, let alone in an enclosed environment with almost ten thousand people. They had no idea what was going on outside. The confined space and the uneasiness of the others could easily lead to a group breakdown!
"Who's in charge here?" Mofan asked seriously.
"What do you mean in charge? It's just that everyone is in trouble. We've gathered together to increase our chances of survival." A man in his thirties among the Magicians in leather jackets said.
The man was not old, but he looked like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. He had a messy beard, but it was obvious that he was quite handsome.
"This is the captain of the City Hunters in River Square City, Ma Yong. He used to be a military strategist in the Northwest Army," the ponytailed girl said proudly.
Captain Ma Yong was the reason why the people of Bin Town were safe and sound.
After he started working here, he had carefully memorized the locations of the shelters, shelters, evacuation points, and relay stations, including the roads, bridges, and routes that led to them.
The river was overflowing, and the sea monsters were attacking. Ma Yong did not let the residents run away. He was very familiar with the terrain of Bin Town. It was surrounded by rivers. Even if they ran far away, there were still paddy fields, ponds, and mud lakes. The sea monsters had a wide range of activities, and their speed was much faster than humans.
If they ran away, the place would basically turn into a hunting ground. The number of survivors would depend on the speed of the sea monsters' hunting.
According to the real cases in other villages, the number of survivors did not exceed three digits.
There were less than a hundred survivors in a population of ten thousand. It was easy to tell how fierce and terrifying the sea monsters were, and how many of them there were.
Therefore, Captain Ma Yong did not bring the residents away. Instead, he decisively escaped into the special shelter.
The shelter was underground. There were rocks at the entrance, and a heavy door.
If they hid the vent well and tried their best not to make any noise, they would have a chance of escaping the disaster!
"You've made the wisest decision. The others who were too close to the river like you …" the student did not finish his sentence.
"It's just my experience in the Northwest Army. The movement of people will only make us the targets of the sea monsters," Ma Yong said with a wry smile.
"Speaking of which, is the army here? The sea monsters outside should have been wiped out, right? Can we go out now? My child seems to be lacking in oxygen. The vent is too small. Everyone is feeling stuffy," a middle-aged man with a haggard face came over and asked anxiously.
"Is the rescue here? Is the rescue here?"
"That's great! We've finally made it!"
"The army is here to pick us up!"
The people inside seemed to have realized that someone from the outside had come in to ask about the situation. They were all excited.
