It's dark at night.

The front of Changzhou Town, close to the Taihu Lake, has almost become a flesh-and-blood purgatory.

Endless demons, the lowliest puppets to be exact, were pouring in densely from the direction of the Matsue ruins.

Their appearance...... All of them are images of young women with good faces and slender figures. If you stand motionless, it still looks more pleasing to the eye.

If you ignore the ferocious and hideous expression on its face, as well as the incomparably terrifying aggression of the attack.

The Shenwu Army's front had retreated for the third time in a row, and a large amount of artillery fire continued to bombard the forward positions, turning the puppets that poured up like a tidal wave into a carpet of flesh and blood.

The so-called artillery fire is "cannon" and "fire" when taken apart.

"Cannon" refers to artillery shells, that is, kinetic weapons, which shoot a large number of small and medium-sized projectiles loaded with metal fragments from the rear into the battlefield, and explode rapidly at the moment of hitting the target, sputtering rotating metal fragments in all directions, tearing all flesh within the range into pieces.

"Fire" refers to high temperature, that is, energy weapons, the most common is a spider robot crawling quickly on the ground, scourge - land type, height of one meter, diameter of two meters six, eight legs, the top is equipped with six external vents, constantly 360 degrees around the body to continuously spray ultra-high temperature plasma clusters, all the puppets that surround it are incinerate.

Since 11 p.m., according to battlefield intelligence estimates, more than three million puppets have been killed on this battlefield, an average of about 70 per second. As a price, the armaments, materials, and energy consumed by the Shenwu Army are also extremely huge.

Yet more demons and monsters are still pouring out from the depths of the ruins of Matsue, as if there is no limit to it—just as they have attacked for so many years.

"They're fighting us." In the staff room, the officers gave a general explanation of the situation to Princess Nankang, who rushed over, "And this rebellion of the puppet community has no warning at all, and we suspect that there are high-level demons behind it." ”

"Can strategic nuclear weapons be used?" Sima Cheng, the general of the Shenwu Army, pointed to the map, "One shot fell on the battlefield, and two shots attacked Jiangyin and Huishan respectively, ensuring that the direct road for Songjiang to attack Changzhou was sealed and reducing the pressure on the defense line of the Shenwu Army." ”

"Nope." Princess Nankang categorically vetoed.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"The quota for the use of energy weapons must be limited to the tactical level." Princess Nankang said.

"In that case, our supplies won't last long." The officers said in a rambling manner, "Even if the Jiangning District Military Factory is fully engaged in producing materials at this time and transporting them at any cost, it is estimated that it will only be able to sustain us for a week." ”

Princess Nankang was silent when she heard this, and looked at the battlefield in front of her with a gloomy expression.

"You say...... Suspect that there is a high-ranking demon driving the command in the rear? ”

"Yes." Sima Cheng opened his mouth and said, "As far as the battle intensity shown by the puppet is concerned, it should be not far away. ”

"I'll look for it." Princess Nankang stood up.

"Then I'll arrange for the guards to escort you immediately......"

"No need." Princess Nankang walked out of the tent and threw two guns out of her hand.

"I'll be enough for one person."

………………

Jiankang City, the land of the Cheng clan.

"So you're really going to sleep here tonight?" Cheng Jinyang looked at the two girls lying on the bed suspiciously.

If it's at home, it doesn't matter how you play. But we're in the Cheng clan's land, can't we rest for a day to avoid attracting irrelevant suspicions?

"Of course." Xing Yuanzhi said, "Everything is important to persevere." If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go thousands of miles, don't you understand? ”

Cheng Jinyang: ???

Can you stop holding on to such strange things? One less night will the blood vein concentration plummet or what?

Of course, since the two insisted on staying here to sleep with him, Cheng Jinyang would not suffer...... Because he himself can't escape from the dream anyway, especially when he goes back to Xiaoli this time, it is better to have Ah Zhi and Miss Wang by his side than to kill the demon alone.

So everyone slept as usual, Miss A Zhi, who had a habit of cleanliness, slept in a bed alone, and Miss Wang and Cheng Jinyang squeezed one.

The width of the single bed in the guest room is on the small side, and it is a bit difficult for two people to squeeze in. Cheng Jinyang closed his eyes against the wall here, feeling that the fragrance from Miss Wang around him seemed to linger in his nose, and for a while, he was a little uneasy.

But after thinking about it, Ah Zhi was not jealous of this matter, and she was a little subtle and lost.

"Thank you for today." After a while, he spoke, "Yuan Zhi, Wanrou...... If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid my relationship with my family would have broken completely. ”

"If someone didn't stuff you with a small note, you wouldn't have said such arrogant words, how could you break with the family?" Xing Yuanzhi asked rhetorically.

"If it weren't for my little note, your fiancé would have either been stamped or out of the family right now." Wang Wanrou said lightly.

"What does it have to do with the little note?" Xing Yuanzhi sneered, "Go directly to Cheng Ben and the old man, and personally bring Jinyang to the family, can Cheng Qingxin say half a word?" You asked him to read that line just to satisfy your bad taste! Don't think I don't know that you copied Sima Yi's "Three Kingdoms", the biography of Zhuge Liang in the Shu book! ”

"So with your wisdom, you can only see the surface." Wang Wanrou said contemptuously, "If there were no lines, Cheng Benhe's attitude would be completely different from now...... Forget it, it's a waste of effort to explain so much to you. ”

Xing Yuanzhi sighed, turned her back, and ignored her.

"Yuan Zhi, I remembered when you said Zhuge Liang!" Cheng Jinyang played a round and said, "Isn't this the line that Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang back then?" Wanrou, Wang Lang is the ancestor of your Wang family. ”

"Wang Lang is a member of the Langya Wang clan." Wang Wanrou was a little speechless and explained, "We are the Taiyuan Wang family. ”

"The ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang clan was just a gatehouse of the Langya Wang clan back then, and because of the development of the 'Thought Steel Seal', they came from behind and continued their Taiyuan branch." Xing Yuanzhi added, "On the contrary, it is the Langya Wang family, which has now dispersed into the homes of ordinary people. ”

"It's not a porter, it's just a distant house." Wang Wanrou said in a low voice, "Most of today's major families, in that era, most of the ability ancestors also started from recklessness. Even Cheng Zhijie, the ancestor of the Shendu Cheng clan, was not a horse bandit on Wagang Village before he developed his ability? ”

"Well, let's not talk about this, go to sleep." Cheng Jinyang hurriedly stopped them. After all, this is in the clan territory of the Cheng clan in the Shendu, and if the wall has ears and is heard to them slandering the ancestors, it will be very troublesome in the future.

However, sleeping in the same room with Xing Yuanzhi and Wang Wanrou is even more troublesome when this is discovered......

Thinking like this, he slowly felt a little sleepy.

……

Opening his eyes from the dream, Cheng Jinyang subconsciously rolled over.

Then I heard the wind attacking behind me.

When he got up to look, he saw two young women with dull expressions rushing towards him with their teeth and claws—if it hadn't been for the tumbling just now, they might have been caught.

Here, Xing Yuanzhi had already stopped and killed, and swept the two of them to the ground with a whip leg, Wang Wanrou stood behind her, her expression was solemn, and her brows were slightly furrowed.

The two women were kicked to the ground, but they quickly got up as if they were in no pain, and once again waved their arms and rushed towards them, their eyes shining with hunger.

It's like a zombie.

"Let's go first!" Cheng Jinyang hurriedly took the two girls and chose the nearest street to escape.

"Where is this?" Xing Yuanzhi quickly glanced around and asked him.

"I don't know, I've never been here!" Cheng Jinyang said in shock.

Without claws and bone hammers, demons that were significantly weaker than "monsters" had never appeared in his dreams before. It's not a wise idea to get entangled with these unknown monsters.

The surrounding high-rise buildings, wide highways, green belts and exquisite windows of the commercial street are all far from the environment of Wujiang Town, and even more prosperous (if not for the lack of people) in the most prosperous area of Jiankang City.

Cheng Jinyang suddenly raised his head in disbelief, and his gaze cast into the distance in disbelief.

In the gap between the steel forests, he saw a towering iron tower in the distance.

The spire of the tower stands straight to the sky, with two large balls in the center and at the bottom, painted with a circle of red stripes in the middle, like a spear soaring into the sky.
