Chapter 008: The Beast Surge is Coming, Take Orders in Danger!
The siren sounded loudly.
The sound of dense footsteps sounded.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed out of the barracks and training ground and came to the hundred-meter-high city wall.
Anti-aircraft guns, long-range guns, and special machine guns were all aimed at the north.
The armed helicopter quickly took off and patrolled over the city wall.
There are three alert states in the Yangcheng Army.
When a small-scale animal tide is detected, it is a first-level alert.
A medium-sized beast tide is a level two alert.
A large-scale animal tide is a level three alert.
In fact, there is also a special alert state. Once it occurs, the city will be destroyed, and the entire Yangcheng will face destruction.
On top of the tall steel city wall, all the soldiers and officers held their breath and looked to the north.
A black line appears on the distant horizon.
Immediately afterwards, the black line spread and turned into a black wave, quickly approaching Yangcheng.
150 kilometers, 147 kilometers, 143 kilometers...
Commander Xu came to the city wall, frowned and asked, "How is the situation?"
A liaison soldier looked at the tablet in his hand and reported:
"The news from the intelligence department is that it is a medium-sized beast wave. Based on the current speed, it will be within ten minutes to reach the attack range of the main gun!"
"Don't use the main guns for the time being. A medium-sized beast tide can be resisted with conventional weapons. The remaining fish that slip through the net will be handed over to the returning warriors." Xu Wenguo issued a decisive order.
The liaison soldier immediately passed on the order.
Xu Wencheng took a look around and happened to see Li Xiang standing on the wall, doing nothing, "Why is this kid up here?"
At this time, Li Xiang was frowning and looking ahead.
Outside this hundred-meter-high city wall is a dense virgin forest. From time to time, you can see the figures of ferocious beasts, full of danger and terror.
Horror, shock, and fear from the depths of the soul.
Fierce beasts like the blood python can only become meat for other ferocious beasts in this terrifying forest.
It has been a month since Li Xiang came to this world.
Seeing the world outside the wall for the first time.
Sure enough, as the book said, dangers are everywhere.
In this terrifying era where ferocious beasts are raging, human beings can only build high walls, huddle within them, and struggle to survive.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Xiang turned around and saw Xu Wencheng walking towards him.
"Li Xiang, what are you doing here?" Xu Wencheng asked, with some reproach in his tone.
Li Xiang calmed down and gave a non-standard military salute, "The radio said that all personnel should return to their combat positions, so I followed Lieutenant Colonel Liu here."
Liu Yong on the side looked at Xu Wencheng sarcastically, "I ran in a hurry just now and didn't consider that he was a newcomer."
In the city defense army, even warriors who return to their ancestors need to receive training before they can enter the battlefield.
A dumb guy who doesn't understand anything can easily lose his life.
Moreover, if a baby like Li Xiang goes into battle before he has grown up, if he dies in the line of duty, it will be a huge loss for Yangcheng and even the entire Kyushu.
After arriving at the city wall, Liu Yong also persuaded Li Xiang to go down, but he refused to leave.
The two of them were at the same level, so Liu Yong had no way to give orders and could only let them go.
Xu Wencheng glared at Liu Yong fiercely, "Is this how you bring up newcomers? Let's wait and see how I deal with you after we resist this beast wave!"
Liu Yong shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Seeing Liu Yong, who had always been brave, deflated, several officers of the same rank around him suppressed their smiles.
On the city wall, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Please be alert!"
"If you are negligent and allow the beast tide to invade the city and cause casualties, you will all have to go to court-martial!"
Xu Wencheng had a gloomy face.
The officers and soldiers immediately restrained themselves and looked ahead warily.
Xu Wencheng then turned around, looked at Li Xiang, and said seriously: "Go back to the base. This is not a place for a newcomer like you."
"Commander Xu, please let me stay here."
"As a member of the city defense army, I cannot abandon my robe."
"As a commander, I can't abandon my soldiers!"
Li Xiang's back was straight and his words were sonorous and powerful.
The surrounding officers and soldiers were surprised.
Dare to contradict Commander Xu's order? Is this newbie just too brave?
However, these three short sentences can be said to have spoken to their hearts.
In the army, we are all comrades-in-arms, we are all heroes, and we can take bullets for each other at any time.
As a soldier, the most taboo thing is to abandon your comrades and live up to the trust that you have held for your life.
Although this boy is a newcomer, his courage and sense of responsibility have won the recognition of all the soldiers and officers around him.
Xu Wencheng said: "But you have a special status..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Xiang interrupted: "On the battlefield, no one is special. My life is life, and the lives of my comrades are also life!"
Li Xiang saluted again:
"Li Xiang, please fight!"
The sound is like a loud bell, sonorous and powerful.
At this moment, the surrounding soldiers were infected by the word "please fight", and they all felt a surge of blood in their hearts.
Xu Wencheng's eyes were complicated, but finally he made up his mind and said loudly:
"Li Xiang listens to the order and goes to Area D to take over your combat team!"
"Let any ferocious beast enter the city and deal with it according to military law!"
Li Xiang saluted, "Yes!"
He turned around and strode towards Area D.
Xu Wencheng sighed, "It's rare for you to have such a character and awareness."
He called the signal soldier and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
In fact, there are two reasons why Li Xiang insisted on staying here.
First, he wanted to enhance his cultivation through actual combat and increase his compatibility with Zhang Sanfeng.
The second, and most important, is to think of your own contribution.
The mortality rate of the city defense troops was 30%.
Within a month of coming to this world, more than two hundred soldiers from the city defense army died.
These people used their blood, flesh, and lives to resist the tide of beasts and protect the people in the city.
One of the soldiers who died was one of his cousins.
He once looked at his aunt in the mourning hall and cried bitterly while holding the memorial tablet. He also looked at his aunt and decided to send his other son to the city defense army.
It took him many days to understand the grief and determination behind this behavior.
It can be said that people like me can have enough food and clothing, study in peace, and enjoy peaceful days all because of the protection of the city defense army.
In this terrifying world where monsters are rampant.
There is no such thing as quiet time.
It's just someone carrying a heavy load and moving forward.
And now, it's his turn.
When Li Xiang came to Area D, a hundred soldiers who had been waiting for him lined up in a square formation and stood upright!
They had received news before that a new captain had come to take office.
I just didn't expect that he was a young man under twenty.
A burly soldier with a full beard stepped forward and saluted:
"Northern City Defense Force, Third Battalion First Combat Brigade, Deputy Captain Di Shimao reports to you!"
"There are 99 people in the brigade, and the actual number is 95. Please review by the captain!"
Li Xiang asked: "Where are the other four people?"
Di Shimao's eyes flashed with sadness, "He was killed in battle three hours ago."
At this time.
There was a vibration on the ground.
Amidst the rumbling sound.
The black beast tide crushed the forest, swept across the earth, and rushed towards Yangcheng.
