Zhang Chen, what is he... what's wrong with him?
A hint of horror flashed across Zhao Longchuan's face.
He had never seen anyone like this before.
To emit golden light from his body?
But then again, ever since he transmigrated, he had encountered endless strange things he had never seen before.
He was already used to it!
Dad, Dad, Dad~
Is Dad returning from another world?
Xiaobai stood beside him, clapping his hands excitedly.
Er Pang also let out whimpers.
This... I don't know either... I've never seen this situation...
Zhao Longchuan was also dumbfounded.
Everyone around was the same!
Who has ever seen someone emitting golden light? A lightbulb spirit?
This is too unscientific!
Before everyone could figure out what was going on.
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted from inside the military base!
Rumble!
Dust billowed, and flames soared into the sky.
Faintly, the shouts of soldiers and the screams of civilians fleeing could be heard, mixed together.
What's going on?
Zhao Longchuan's expression sharpened.
The entire defense of the military base was designed by him personally, and it was rotated once a week.
Even if there was an enemy attack, it should have come from the outside.
How could it have exploded from the inside!
Captain, we've detected intruders in the residential area, and civilian casualties have occurred!
There are a total of 11 enemies, all wearing black hoods, with the S13 logo on their capes!
Jiang Chenchen reported to Zhao Longchuan immediately through a reconnaissance drone hovering above the military base.
Uniformly styled hoods?
Could it be members of some organization?!
Zhao Longchuan's face changed at the thought.
It should be known that to establish an organization, the founder must have a strength ranking within the top one thousand in the world!
Among the billions of transmigrators worldwide, to rank in the top thousand...
And the strength of the members must be within the top one million in the world...
These stringent conditions meant that anyone belonging to an organization was no ordinary person.
Any single one of them possessed the terrifying power to destroy an entire survivor camp!
What made Zhao Longchuan most fearful was that there wasn't just one enemy, but eleven of them!
This might be a full-scale assault!
Among these eleven people, there might be the founder of the organization!
What followed would likely be a fierce battle...
Zhao Longchuan didn't even dare to use the word fierce.
Because fierceness implies a battle where both sides are evenly matched.
Facing a combination of one person in the world's top thousand and ten people in the world's top million...
Zhao Longchuan could only pray that his army wouldn't be crushed too easily.
It would be best if they could buy more precious time for the civilians and others!
Forget about winning, even drawing would be impossible.
Delaying them would be considered a victory.
Sound the alarm, notify all civilians to evacuate their residences and move to the backup shelters!
Squads 1, 2, 3, and 4 are responsible for covering the civilian evacuation!
Squads 5, 6, and 7 are responsible for coordination and support!
Squads 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 will establish defensive positions at Gate 3!
Squads 13, 14, 15, and 16 will establish a second line of defense at Gate 5!
Ensure all civilians are evacuated safely before the defensive squads retreat!
Zhao Longchuan commanded calmly.
Understood, the orders have been sent. Squads 8-12 have already reached their target locations!
Jiang Chenchen reported quickly.
Excellent, Jiang Chenchen, gather all members of the Special Operations team, we're going to have a big fight!
Zhao Longchuan smiled slightly.
Although he knew he was bound to lose this battle.
But it was the destiny of a soldier to die on the battlefield.
This was also a kind of honor.
It was just that this honor had arrived earlier than expected.
It was no big deal!
A person should die for a worthy cause!
Here we go, Captain, we haven't fought side-by-side for a long time!
Jiang Chenchen set the drone to automatic patrol mode.
She took out her sniper rifle from her ring.
She had obtained the weapon enhancement skill from opening the loot box.
The sniper rifle was now enhanced, including the bullets.
Previously, she had taken down a Stage 2 beginner Awakened with a single shot.
But the enemies before them were not ordinary Awakened, she wasn't sure if her attack would be effective...
Captain Zhao, we'll go too!
I was also a soldier before, but I retired. However, once a soldier, always a soldier of the people!
I also took an oath and received formal training, I will absolutely not hold you back!
Dong Tiejun said with conviction, drawing his great axe.
All this way, he had been following Er Pang to pick up the corpses of high-level infected that Er Pang had left behind.
Although he didn't kill many each day, and he didn't always encounter Type III mutated infected.
But after accumulating so many days, by freeloading food and drinks, he had successfully advanced to Stage 1 Intermediate Awakened.
This was considered quite powerful within the military base.
Xiaobai wants to go too!
Xiaobai said, clapping his hands.
Roar~
Er Pang shook his fur and also stood up.
Meaning, count me in.
Children shouldn't cause trouble, otherwise, what will your dad do when he wakes up and can't find you?
Zhao Longchuan didn't mind Dong Tiejun and Er Pang joining at all; in fact, he was somewhat pleased.
With the assistance of these people/wolves, their chances of victory increased.
Although the overall win rate was still negligibly small...
But no matter what, he absolutely couldn't let a child take risks.
They're not causing trouble, I want to go play too!
Xiaobai pouted and said.
This is a battle, not a game, you could die!
Zhao Longchuan said earnestly.
That... Captain Zhao, let her go...
With her here, we have a better chance of winning, and I feel more confident!
Dong Tiejun said with a naive smile.
Huh? You're relying on a little girl for support?
Zhao Longchuan didn't say this out loud, as it would be too hurtful.
But his expression clearly conveyed his meaning.
Believe me, all this way, it wasn't us escorting Xiaobai and Er Pang...
Quite the opposite... we reached the military base safely thanks to their presence...
Otherwise, on such a long journey, we probably would have died several times over!
Dong Tiejun said sheepishly.
Then...
Zhao Longchuan looked at the other survivors with surprise and uncertainty.
They all had the same expression.
These people shouldn't be lying.
At least, they wouldn't deceive him just to let a little girl go to her death, and there was no reason for that...
Zhao Longchuan hesitated for a long time and said helplessly:
Alright... then you stay close behind me, don't wander off!
Medic, go get Xiyue and find a few capable team members to protect Zhang Chen!
Medic: Yes!
