"Hold on to the line!"

The beach was filled with the roar of rockets and the roar of soldiers, and the corpses of mirelurks were strewn across the field, curled up into charred briquettes on the beach. However, xenos are born without knowing what fear is, and the death of their companions has not made them retreat, but has provoked their ferocity.

Several times, the mirelurk arched through the NAC's defenses, and the soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons had to engage with these xenomorph skirmishers, using their flesh and blood to resist the xenomorph torrent of steel, waiting for the fireball-1 to cover the battlefield and destroy the mirelurks that broke through the defense, and then put the stakes back on.

After a long day of fierce fighting, when dusk fell, the mirelurk's offensive finally slowed down. Perhaps because the mirelurks that had finished hibernation had been emptied, the remaining mirelurks chose to temporarily lurk in the water, waiting for more of their companions to wake up from hibernation before attacking the defenses on Desperate Beach.

And on this day the ammunition of the NAC inclined on the beach, which can already be piled up into a hill.

Li Wang opened the mask of the helmet, sat down on the stool, took the nutritional mixture from the hands of the logistics staff, raised his head and poured two bottles. He has been standing on the front line all day, and he has not eaten a drop of water from the early hours of the morning until now.

At this time, the adjutant stepped forward and reported to him the situation at the front.

"From early morning to now, we have emptied a full hundred and seven boxes of ammunition, and there is only enough ammunition left for us to hold out for another two days. ”

"How's the wall going?"

"Ten percent is left. ”

Li Wang nodded.

Well, keep the momentum going, and it should be done by noon tomorrow.

Looking at the sea level in the distance, the waves rolled up white foam, and I don't know if it was the rolling tide or the white foam from the mirelurk crab that was waking up from hibernation. No one knew how much respite the mireururk would give them, but the soldiers, after drinking the nutritional potions, walked out to the beach to find some mirelurk roe, returned to the rear of the position, lit a fire, and roasted it with branches.

In normal times, they would definitely come to two pots of wine to savor, but at this moment, there is obviously no such condition. After wiping the crab roe in their hands, they picked up their rifles again and returned to the battle line, resting while waiting for a new round of offensive.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Wang summoned his subordinates in the command room and made adjustments to the front-line deployment.

At this moment, a man lifted the curtain of the command room and walked into the barracks.

"Marshal?!" Seeing the comer, Li Wang's eyes suddenly widened with joy and greeted him, "Great, you're finally back!"

After Miss Lin returned from Datunshan Nature Park, Li Wang was always worried about Jiang Chen's safety. If it weren't for the fact that the front line really couldn't divide the manpower, Jiang Chen personally ordered to leave it alone, and he was ready to send someone over there to find him.

Jiang Chen nodded to him with a smile and immediately asked about the situation on the front line.

"How's it going on the front?"

"It was a tough situation, there were too many mireurks, but we were able to complete 80% of the work before the early morning of February 28. By tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to complete this wall!" Li Wang said categorically.

"What about casualties?" Jiang Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Seven dead and five wounded...... Some of these mirelurks are capable of spraying corrosive acids, and the casualties are mainly caused by these variants. ”

Seven dead and five wounded, this battle damage was still within an acceptable range, and Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

If he really can't hold it, he still prefers to temporarily evacuate from Yizhou Island and wait until the summer solstice to return to this island to complete this line of defense. Although it is necessary to start the construction of the space elevator earlier, if there are a large number of casualties in the expeditionary force because of this, it will inevitably be a bit more than worth the loss.

"I will let Wang Qing properly settle the families of the fallen soldiers, and I will leave this line of defense to you. "Jiang Chen

"Yes!" Li Wang saluted, pausing for a moment, and then he continued, "There is one more thing I have to report to you. ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen stopped as he was about to leave, turned around and asked.

"Some time ago, the survivors, instigated by people with ulterior motives, went on strike, which almost brought the project to a complete standstill. According to my men's investigation, it was discovered that those with ulterior motives were none other than those sent by Vault 79. ”

Secret agents?

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Grass and mud horses, Lao Tzu's people risked their lives to help you stand in front and block these ghosts on the beach, while you made small moves in the back, and you had the idea of building a fence?

It's just boring!

Li Wang looked at Jiang Chen, quietly waiting for his orders.

"Hold this line of defense first, and then split two hundred men to take over Town 79. ”

"What about the people from Vault 79?"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

"Those who descend do not kill. ”

As for those who don't surrender, then die!

After entrusting the matter of the defense line to Li Wang, Jiang Chen circled around the front line and showed his face in front of the soldiers. When they saw the marshal personally coming to the front line to supervise the battle, the morale of these exhausted soldiers obviously rose to a new height, and they vowed to defend the line of defense and never take half a step back.

For this marshal who unified Suzhou and Hangzhou Province, they are the survivors who once wandered in the wasteland and lived a hard life, they revere it from the bottom of their hearts. This cult of personality even rises to the height of faith.

After all, in this atheistic land, there are not many things that can be used as spiritual sustenance......

Without staying too long on the beach, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the Order.

When he boarded the airship, Lin Ling was standing in the cockpit of the airship, looking out the window intently.

It was dark, and two days had passed, but Jiang Chen still hadn't come back. Although she knew that Jiang Chen would be fine, she still couldn't help but worry about whether he would run into trouble on the mountain.

At this time, the sound of the door opening sounded behind her, Lin Ling turned around, and her red and black eyes suddenly bloomed with joy.

Soon, however, she recklessly hid her joy and snorted twice.

"You, you're finally back?"

The change in expression is too stiff. If you're worried, just say it...... It's not a bad thing to care about people, but is it so disguised?

Jiang Chen didn't say anything, walked to her side with a smile, stretched out his hand and conjured a USB flash drive as if he was juggling, and handed it to her, "I don't understand the model, in short, this is the design drawing of the nuclear fusion generator in the Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant, which is compatible with three nuclear fuels, including deuterium, tritium, and helium-3." There's also a management AI for nuclear power facilities, so I'll leave it to you for integration. ”

"Hmph, I won't work in vain" took the USB flash drive from Jiang Chen's hand, Lin Ling just wanted to say a few words, but before she finished speaking, Jiang Chen smiled and stuffed a box of mango pudding into her hand.

was directly seen through her heart, Lin Lingqiao blushed, don't overdo it.

"Worries you. Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed her little head, "Don't eat too much at night, rest early." ”

"Yes. ”

Lin Ling subconsciously responded.

When she came back to her senses, Jiang Chen had already left the command room. Looking in the direction he left, a mist of confusion appeared in her eyes.

After a long time, the little mouth moved two words slightly.

"Fool......" (To be continued.) )
