Chapter 009: Take over the team, a military family
The cause of the beast tide, no one has yet figured out.
But the harm and terror of the beast tide is familiar to everyone in the entire Kyushu.
Every year, cities are destroyed by beasts.
The high city walls are the only barrier for humans to resist ferocious beasts.
If the wall falls down, the city will be destroyed; if the city is destroyed, people will die.
So every year, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people die in the tide of beasts.
At this time, the tide of beasts was running wildly through the vast primeval forest.
Even from dozens of kilometers away, you can clearly feel the terrifying power.
Li Xiang looked at the dark area from a distance.
In my mind, that mysterious voice sounded again.
[Kill a first-level ferocious beast and reward 1% compatibility]
[Kill a second-level ferocious beast and reward 10% compatibility]
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is this forcing yourself to kill a lot?
However, he has no mercy at all when dealing with ferocious beasts.
"Everyone is here, return to your posts and prepare to face the attack of the beast wave!" Li Xiang ordered decisively.
Commander Xu treated him quite well. The hundred-man team given to him were all veterans who had served in the army for many years.
When the beast tide comes, there is no fear on these people's faces, but a sense of eagerness to try.
There were many soldiers who were still in the mood to observe Li Xiang's reaction.
The captain who came by air was too young, so he might be a relative of the city lord's palace.
People who have never experienced fighting on the battlefield will easily collapse in fear when they see a tide of beasts for the first time.
They don't want to put their lives in the hands of such people.
However, Li Xiang's reaction exceeded their expectations.
Calm and decisive, without any panic.
He doesn't look like a young man under twenty years old at all.
Li Xiang gave the order, but no one moved.
After a while, Di Shimao yelled, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Listen to the captain's orders!"
The soldiers then turned and returned to their fighting posts.
Li Xiang didn't say anything, he just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the bearded vice-captain.
When Di Shimao saw Li Xiang looking at him, he chuckled, looking a little naive.
Li Xiang knew in his heart that Di Shimao, who could be the vice-captain of the Centurion and have more than ninety veterans of the battlefield look up to him, was by no means an honest man.
However, these are not important.
After the soldiers returned to their positions, Li Xiang came to the back of a fortification.
Five or six soldiers were inspecting their weapons.
Seeing Li Xiang come in, two younger soldiers wanted to stand up, but were glared at by the older veteran next to them, so they could only sit back down.
This veteran, in his forties, was holding a cigarette and wiping the sniper rifle in his hand.
"I'm sorry, Captain, my legs and feet are not convenient."
Snap.
The veteran roughly put his right foot on the ammunition box next to him.
I patted it and made two banging sounds.
It's a metal prosthesis.
It's a bit disrespectful.
Li Xiang walked forward, sat down next to the veteran, and said calmly:
"If my father hadn't died on the city wall, he would be about the same age as you."
The veteran was stunned.
"It's a pity that the day he died, I was still in my mother's belly and didn't have the chance to see him."
The veteran's expression changed, he was silent for a while, and then he put out his cigarette.
Li Xiang picked up the cigarette box next to him, took out a cigarette, handed it over, and lit it for him.
"Captain, I..."
The veteran spoke, but was interrupted by Li Xiang, "I remember there are regulations in the military that disabled people can retire, or take a second-line job as civilians. Why are you still serving here?"
The veteran said, "I'm a rough old man. I don't know a few words. I can't hold a clerical job. After I retired, I can only check the water meter. I deal with those menopausal old women in the community all day long. I'm looking for eggs."
The veteran suddenly grinned, "It's better to stay on this city wall and kill a few ferocious beasts."
A young soldier in his twenties stood next to him and interrupted, "Captain, don't listen to him. Lao Wang is afraid of his wife, so he doesn't dare to retire. His wife is as fierce as a tigress."
The veteran ripped off the metal prosthesis and threw it at the young soldier, "Fuck you, uncle!"
The other soldiers all burst out laughing.
The veteran picked up the prosthesis, seemed to have remembered something, and said apologetically to Li Xiang, "Captain, we weren't trying to show you shame before."
Li Xiang snorted.
The veteran added, "Last month, our captain died, and Vice Captain Di has been acting as captain."
"The above also said that if he wants to be reinstated, we will obey him."
"But today I suddenly changed my mind and airborne you."
"We saw that you were young and thought you were a well-connected person who came here to get gold, so..."
Several soldiers were a little embarrassed.
Li Xiang's father died on the battlefield, and now he has joined the city defense army. This Li family is a military family.
The kind where you can hang a sign in front of your home.
"What you said is half right. I am a well-connected person," Li Xiang said lightly, "but I'm not here to get gold plating, but..."
He looked around and said slowly: "I will fight with you."
At this time.
There was a bang.
Immediately afterwards, there was a vibration under my feet.
The piercing screams sounded from near to far.
Li Xiang looked up and saw a cannonball piercing the sky and flying to the north.
The veteran took a puff of cigarette and looked to the north, "Here we come."
