c213: 203: A Perfunctory Reason (2)

Wen Jianshu and Xiao Tao’s eyes were fixed on Tang Mo.

Clearly, they were also curious as to why Tang Mo’s strength had increased so much overnight.

In their minds, Tang Mo didn’t seem like the type of person to use forbidden drugs.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Of course I wouldn’t use that kind of stuff. I was training so intently yesterday, I’m not sure what happened. I passed out, and when I woke up, I was like this..."

Tang Mo said, embarrassed.

Her embarrassment was entirely because the excuse she’d made up was so clumsy.

Fortunately, her predicament didn’t last long...

Soon, a man dressed as a guard rushed in and whispered something in Wen Jianshu’s ear.

Wen Jianshu’s expression changed the moment he heard it.

"Momo, protect your mother and younger brother. I have to go out."

Then he hurried out with the guard, not even having time to change his clothes.

’Protect my mother and younger brother?’

’Did something happen to the Wen Family? That can’t be. With Qin Ling around, nothing major should happen to the Wen Family.’

’Then... did something happen at the base?’

Tang Mo sent a message to Qin Ling:

Tang Mo: [Did something happen at the base?]

After Tang Mo sent the message, a long moment passed before Qin Ling’s reply came.

Qin Ling: [It’s nothing. Just stay at home and be good. Don’t go out.]

Qin Ling’s words immediately confirmed it for Tang Mo: something had happened at the base.

Not knowing what it was, Tang Mo grew a little panicked and immediately had the housekeeper gather all the Wen Family guards.

"Fall back and form two defensive perimeters! Protect the Wen Family’s main building with everything you have!"

"Lao San, what happened at the base?"

The base’s security was all managed by Lao San, so asking him now was the most appropriate thing to do.

"Sister-in-law, the base’s Spiritual Ability Users just detected a large number of mutant beasts heading this way. It looks like a beast siege."

Seeing the call from his boss’s wife, Lao San didn’t dare to be neglectful and told her everything, holding nothing back.

The poor guy obviously had no idea that his boss didn’t want to tell his wife about this.

"A beast siege? Is the scale particularly large this time?"

Wherever people gathered, mutant beasts would eventually be drawn in waves over time.

For a densely populated place like S Base, beast sieges were nothing new; they happened on average once a month.

This time, judging by the attitudes of Uncle Wen and Qin Ling, it didn’t seem as simple as a normal beast siege.

"The scale isn’t actually that large, probably around a hundred or so. But according to the Spiritual Ability User on lookout, this batch of mutant beasts is of a very high level. They’re all Advanced Mutant Beasts, and there’s even a beast that appeared that’s stronger than an Advanced Mutant Beast!"

Lao San said, his voice still laced with fear.

A normal siege usually consisted of one or a few Advanced Mutant Beasts leading low-level mutant beasts to attack the base.

This was the first time they had ever seen a situation like this, where all the attackers were Advanced Mutant Beasts, with an even more terrifying existence among them.
