Chapter 49 Evacuation
"Xu Mu, the school has decided to evacuate to a safe isolation area, and we are now organizing personnel." Xue Musheng said with a serious expression.

"I understand." Xu Mu nodded.

The safe isolation zone was jointly established by the Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance. It is guarded by mid-level magicians and protected by a large barrier. It is very safe even in Bo City where a bloody alert has broken out.

It can even be said that the safe isolation zone is designed to provide a safe haven for the people living in cities where the Bloody Alert breaks out.

The safe zone is about three kilometers away from the school. Although the distance is not far, since Bo City has been occupied by demons, this three-kilometer journey will be full of countless dangers.

"The magic you just cast was space magic?" Mo Fan asked, "Have you broken through to the intermediate level?"

"Ah."

"That's great. With a mid-level mage leading us, we will definitely be able to reach the safe isolation area smoothly." Upon hearing that Xu Mu was a mid-level mage, the class teacher Xue Musheng seemed very happy.

The most powerful magician in the school is Principal Zhu. Principal Zhu is a high-level wizard, but today Principal Zhu and other principals are not here.

There was not a single mid-level or higher magician in the entire school. Although they decided to evacuate, they knew better than anyone that evacuation was dangerous and that they might encounter danger along the way and everyone would die. However, staying in school undoubtedly meant accepting the sentence of death.

In the eyes of demons, humans are nothing more than delicious food. When more than 1,500 teachers and students gathered in the school, it was like a grand buffet of peaches for the demons, making them salivate.

So they must evacuate!
He was worried about the danger before, but now with the addition of Xu Mu, a mid-level mage, he can imagine the scene where, under Xu Mu's protection, the team safely evacuates to a safe area, away from the threat of demons.

"There is no time to lose, let's evacuate now." The class teacher Xue Musheng said anxiously.

The situation will change if you delay, so it is better to evacuate quickly.

"Teacher, I don't plan to go to the safe zone with you." Xu Mu said calmly.

"I will stay here to help the Magic Association resist the invasion of demons. You can go to the safe zone."

"You're not going to the safe zone with us?" Xue Musheng's voice was filled with surprise, and his previous joy disappeared in an instant.

"Do you know what the Scarlet Alert means? Bo City has fallen. Even if you are a mid-level mage, you will die in Bo City."

"I know." Xu Mu nodded.

"But I have to stay. I have the ability."

"You..." Xue Musheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He felt mixed emotions, shocked but also in awe. Facing the crisis of Bloody Alert, Xu Mu did not choose to evacuate, but instead decided to stay and assist the Magic Association to resist the invasion of demons.

Xue Musheng could not help but be moved by this kind of awe-inspiring spirit and lofty aspirations.

You know, Xu Mu is now a mid-level magician, and a bright future and beautiful scenery are waiting for him.

Even veteran mid-level mages would perish under the Blood Alert, but Xu Mu was willing to give up this bright future and stay to protect the city.

If Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy knew about this, they would have to make exceptions for admission.

But the problem is!

Without Xu Mu's protection, their evacuation plan would be very dangerous!
It won't hurt unless the fire burns yourself. If it happened on the Internet, he would definitely praise the student's behavior in the comment section.

But this is reality!

Xue Musheng felt extremely helpless. He had trained such a student who made him laugh and cry. If he eventually died on the way to evacuation, he could only face his fate with a wry smile.

"Although the teacher really wants you to evacuate with us, since you have made the decision, the teacher cannot persuade you too much. The Blood Alert is very dangerous, you must be extremely careful." Xue Musheng sighed and patted Xu Mu on the shoulder.

He did not persuade Xu Mu, Xu Mu was his pride.

The magic teacher's duty is to train mages who can protect the people and resist the invasion of demons. Now, Xu Mu is such a mage. He can't persuade Xu Mu to evacuate with them just because he is afraid of death.

"Let's go." Xue Musheng waved his hand and left with the other students.

When the students in the top class learned that Xu Mu decided not to evacuate with them, although they felt a little disappointed, no one asked Xu Mu for protection.

The people of Bo City need Xu Mu more than they do.

As magicians, enjoying abundant magical resources and various welfare policies, they should be the force protecting the people.

However, the reality made them feel deeply ashamed because they found that they lacked the ability to protect the people.

Faced with such a reality, they could not ask Xu Mu for protection, because this was not only an admission of their own powerlessness, but also a blasphemy to the identity of a magician.

"Mo Fan, I'll lend you this." Xu Mu stopped Mo Fan, who was walking at the back, and handed him a palm-sized red sword. Mo Fan looked at the small and exquisite object curiously and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"A disposable demon-slaying tool that can unleash skills with power equivalent to mid-level magic." Xu Mu explained.

This was the reward given to him by the triggering option system for his first-year high school assessment.

Now that he has broken through to the intermediate level, this thing is not as powerful as his lightning magic, so it is useless to keep it. It is better to give it to Mo Fan in exchange for a favor.

“Thank you.” Mo Fan did not refuse. He understood that in the city of Bo where demons were rampant, every life-saving item was crucial.

He will always remember this friendship.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Mo Fan asked puzzledly.

"Do you remember Bai Yang during the training? He is actually a believer of the Black Church." Xu Mu said.

“He is also a member of the Black Church… I understand. I will be careful with him.” Mo Fan was shocked, then nodded solemnly.

Mo Fan didn't know that Bai Yang was dead, and Xu Mu was too lazy to explain.

"What I want to tell you is not Bai Yang, but that there are other Black Church believers hiding in the military besides Bai Yang. If you meet someone from the military, remember to be more careful." Xu Mu said.

"I will." Mo Fan nodded.

Mo Fan knew a lot of things, for example, the Scarlet Alert was actually created by the Black Church. The Black Church’s goal was the Holy Spring of Earth, and the Holy Spring of Earth was on him, so he had to protect it.

"Okay, it's okay." Xu Mu waved his hand, "Remember to stay alive."

"You should also be careful and don't die in Bo City."

After Mo Fan left, the entire school fell into silence, leaving only empty classrooms and corridors.

All teachers and students have been evacuated according to pre-arrangements and left this place where they might be in danger.

"Ouch~~!!"

"Ouch~!"

Dozens of demons slowly approached Xu Mu. They were the group of one-eyed demon wolves that appeared in the rain before.

These one-eyed demon wolves walked steadily, with ferocity and greed revealed in their eyes, and they were obviously coming towards Xu Mu.

There were also a few one-eyed demon wolves chasing in the direction where Mo Fan and his group were evacuating.

"I can't let you catch up."

Xu Mu glanced at the pack of one-eyed demon wolves in front of him. There were about thirty one-eyed demon wolves, which was not a large number.

Of course, this is only for him.

"Heavenly Punishment ~ Thunderbolt ~ Blast to the Top!"

The vast nebula gradually condensed and took shape behind Xu Mu. Forty-nine bright stars were inlaid in the sky like pearls. They slowly rotated along seven winding paths and finally gathered into a mysterious and magnificent star map.

This star map seems to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth, shining with dazzling light, which makes people marvel.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, and a purple-red lightning streaked across the sky like lightning, instantly splitting the surrounding space into two.

With a deafening scream, a sturdy purple-red beast leaped out of the crack and slammed towards the pack of one-eyed demon wolves below with destructive force.

For a moment, dust flew and flames splashed. Under this devastating blow, the one-eyed demon wolves fell one after another, their bodies turned into blood rain mixed with the rain, and they couldn't even make a wailing sound.

In fact, Thunderbolt's attack range is relatively small among all mid-level magics, and the gap is obvious compared to the attack range of Fiery Fist. It can even be classified as a single attack.

But no matter what, thunderbolts are intermediate-level magic, and their power and attack range cannot be underestimated. They are far from comparable to those of primary-level thunder seals.

Plus the spirit seed's additional effect——[Lightning magic attack range doubled]!
This means that the lightning magic he releases can cover a wider area and cause greater damage to the enemy.

The attack range of the thunderbolt covers all the one-eyed demon wolves. Even if some of the one-eyed demon wolves farther away are only scratched by the thunderbolt, these wounds are enough to be fatal with the blessing of nine times the power.
