Chapter 40: The Beast Tide Transits
While Xi Yunyun was enjoying a parent-child moment in the space box, Minister Du Wei, Master Claude, and several generals of the Western Army who had fled into the base camp of the peacekeeping force were staying up late for a meeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is not uncommon for these three waves of people to gather and cooperate in Songsha City in this magical post-apocalyptic era, and it can be said that this scene reflects the core spirit of this era. The rise and fall of local races, the fate of mankind, and the pursuit of common ground while reserving differences by foreign civilizations, the key to the three propositions converge on one point, that is, how to resist the large-scale invasion of alien beasts.
The peacekeepers' technicians aggregated the information they had gathered, projected analysis charts onto the screen, and showed the number, activity, and movement of the alien beasts at a glance. Claude was originally a little worried that the technology of the earth terran was not as advanced as the magic ship system, and it could not be tracked and analyzed in real time, but now he was a little relieved.
Judging from the analysis report, a large number of alien beasts appeared from the depths of the desert, and the number of exterminated by the human army is estimated to be nearly 10,000 in total. They have come all the way to Songsha City, and now they have taken over the entire city, and they have fed themselves with spiritless people when they can't eat the living.
Due to the fact that the branch base camp is underground, there are several layers of steel defense walls around the building, and the alien beasts have not been able to invade here so far. The more than 1,000 civilians in the city who did not have time to retreat had entered the underground base camp under the cover of the Western Army, which was a blessing in misfortune. I just don't know what happened to the barracks guarded by the rebels of the Western Army.
"Didn't you say that all communications were blocked, and why could you aggregate so much data?" a Western Army general wondered.
Du Wei replied: "This is the result of the data brought back by our field surveyor himself, this time to support the Western Army, our peacekeeping force has suffered a lot of losses, and there are still some soldiers who cannot enter the city, and the remaining troops of the Western Army have been transferred to a mountain fortress outside the city to stand by." In short, we have to come up with a way to deal with it quickly, because a protracted war is not good for everyone. ā
Claude nodded, looked at the data report on the big screen, and said after a moment's silence: "This situation is very similar to the beast tide phenomenon on the Habitat Continent. However, the beast tide has not erupted for more than two hundred years, and I have not seen it with my own eyes, according to the description of the heroic soul of the alliance elder group, when the beast tide erupts, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of alien beasts will suddenly appear, and they are more powerful than usual. A beast tide requires the entire alliance to fight for years, even tens or hundreds of years. ā
Du Wei and the generals of the Western Army were shocked when they heard this, and with their current strength, they would never be able to resist. So what's the point of holding this operational meeting?
Claude continued: "Don't think about how to destroy the beast tide, even ten times our current strength is useless, let's set a more realistic goal. ā
"More realistic...... The first is to protect civilians. "Several generals discussed, in addition, they had to predict the movement of the beast tide and inform the next infested city as soon as possible. There are also rebel affairs that make them anxious, and the military's communication network must be recaptured anyway.
A staff member brought a few cups of coffee to the participants, Claude looked at the dark liquid in the cup with a suspicious face, Du Wei knew that there was no coffee on the Continent, and introduced that this was a good thing, and Claude must try it.
"The mission of our peacekeeping forces, in addition to protecting the lives of the people in the areas where they are stationed, has more considerations, and it can be said that they are burdened with the fate of the entire human race. As long as it is conducive to the change of the situation in the whole world, even if there is only a little hope, we will do our last thing, even if this base camp is lost, it does not matter. ā
Du Wei said in a heavy voice, his face full of worry, is the fate of mankind really coming to an end? Their peacekeeping troops have built this underground military fortress with foresight according to the advice of experts in the end times, and it seems that they can only resist for a while, and in the face of the beast tide, no matter how brave the warriors are, they are vulnerable. In addition, ammunition is running out.
At this time, a technician sitting in front of the computer reported to Du Wei: "Minister, new monitoring data has been transmitted back from the ground, and new results have been obtained from data analysis. ā
When Du Wei and the others heard this, they immediately gathered around to take a look, and it turned out that the latest data showed that the number of alien beasts surging from the depths of the desert was fixed at a certain value and would not increase. Moreover, most of the alien beasts did not stay in Songsha City, but continued to move east with the large army. Now less than a tenth of the total number remains in the city.
This situation was unexpected by everyone, and they thought that the beast tide had stopped, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Only Claude knew in his heart that the appearance of the beast tide was intermittent. At least, though, there was time to breathe.
However, the Dark Dome Cloud Ghost was originally an alien beast that mainly attacked the human gathering place, and it still shrouded the sky above the main city, blocking their contact with the outside world. The generals of the Western Army had new anxieties, and they had to find a way to transmit the news of the eastward advance of the beast tide as soon as possible.
Claude secretly thought to himself, the top of the alliance should know that their team was in a deep predicament, would they send a helping hand? Moreover, is there any connection between the outbreak of this beast tide and the appearance of the dark mage?
Xi Yunyun heard someone calling for him in a half-dream, and woke up to find that it was Luo Tianxin. She said that the magician was ready to assemble, and asked her to prepare. Only then did Xi Yunyun remember that Zhou Wensen and Xiao Yu were still in the space box, and immediately opened the space and went in.
In the hut, Zhou Wensen was playing in the yard with Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu was actually walking upright! The child of more than four months walked in a decent way, not at all like an ordinary baby, and his body bones looked stiff.
Xi Yunyun pressed down and wanted to scream, telling himself that everything is possible in this last world, as long as his son is healthy, don't care too much about the details.
"Mom, Uncle Zhou said he wasn't my dad. Xiao Yu's expression was a little aggrieved, what about his father?
"Eh, Mom said he wasn't your father's, what are you playing?" Xi Yunyunchao didn't like Xiaoyu's father in front of Zhou Wensen. However, she saw that Zhou Wensen was holding a toy in his hand, and he looked embarrassed that he didn't know where to put it, and she was suddenly a little cute.
"When I was flying the plane, my uncle had to tell me stories. When Xiao Yu heard this question, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the toy plane in Zhou Wensen's hand.
"Oh, what kind of story do you tell?" Xi Yunyun was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhou Wensen to be so childlike, she turned around and looked at a pair of thoughtful eyes.
"My uncle said there used to be a little boy like me, and then there was no more. Uncle, hurry up. Xiao Yu was a little anxious.
The child's eager eyes looked at Zhou Wensen very embarrassed, and he said to Xi Yunyun: "A dream I had just now, now I have forgotten it, let's go out, the time should be almost up." ā
Xi Yunyun hugged Xiao Yu and went outside to breathe, preparing to put him in when he was busy for a while, and the three of them came out of the space box and ran into Luo Tianxin opening the door and coming in.
Luo Tianxin came to ask Xi Yunyun to go with her, she found that Zhou Wensen was very surprised in the dormitory, and her face turned red for a moment, and then she saw Xi Yunyun and Xiao Yu who came out with her. Looking at their intimate scene like a family of three, Luo Tianxin was a little stunned, and she was envious and jealous in her heart.
"You're all here, the captain said that he was going to gather, the situation here seems to have changed a little, let's go. ā
