Large numbers of Thunder Beasts were gathered in Ning Zhi's area, filling the air with lightning, so the Poison Abyss Beasts did not spread in that direction.
Instead, it was Admiral Yang and his people who drew the Poison Abyss Beasts' attack. They had just emerged from the underground safety base, and due to the large number of personnel, the evacuation was not yet complete.
Before the main force could form an effective combat formation, a large number of soldiers were assaulted by the Poison Abyss Beasts.
However, these first evacuees were all battle-hardened veterans, and they quickly launched a counterattack against the Poison Abyss Beasts.
The initial counteroffensive did not go smoothly. While the soldiers' firearms could harm the Poison Abyss Beasts, they couldn't kill them in a single blow. This provoked the beasts into a frenzied retaliation, spewing venom that contaminated the entire area's environment.
