At noon, the main road leading in and out of West Ancient Pine Tower City was unprecedentedly busy.
The sounds of people chattering, pet beasts bellowing, and cars lining up in long queues created a symphony of honking that unsettled everyone's nerves.
"Beep!"
"Beep beep! Beep!" Various vehicles crept along, inching forward in the line.
In truth, the vehicles were not moving slowly, but the anxiety in people's hearts made the pace seem like a crawl.
"Quiet!"
"Don't panic! Exit the city in an orderly manner!" A team of soldiers was working to manage the traffic and also trying to calm people's emotions.
One of the soldiers, in his mid-thirties, patted the hood of the car beside him: "Stop honking!"
"Roar!" Behind the middle-aged soldier stood a gigantic Earth Bear, letting out a growl at the driver.
The driver flinched, lifting his hand from the horn.
"Mom..." The little boy in the back seat, already scared, burst into tears.
