Chapter XXVI: The First Front

Long Aotian stood in the center of the City Lord's Mansion, carrying his signature machete at his waist, and scanned the surroundings with angry eyes, and he was surrounded by people, all of whom were the leaders of the surrounding gathering places and the high-ranking people in Baihai City.

"Aotian, don't be in such a hurry, everyone is not negotiating."

An elderly white-haired old man sat on the top head, he looked at Long Aotian with a smile, his tone was gentle and infectious, and the people around him nodded one after another, no one dared to underestimate this old man, he was Bai Haisheng, the city lord of Baihai City.

It is said that Bai Haisheng used to be a military commander in the old world, and he reacted quickly in the early days of the disaster, fought thousands of miles, and called on his colleagues to protect the human genius and precious data and information of the old world under the disaster, and finally under the danger of world changes and the end of the world, he had no choice but to form Baihai City to shelter a large number of civilians until today.

Humans are such strange creatures, although they also follow the practice of survival of the fittest to a certain extent, but more often than not, it is the good ones in the race who do their best to protect the weak and incompetent in the group.

In times of peace, there will always be more burnout, but whenever danger comes, a large number of ordinary humans will always be well protected by the intelligent people of the race.

Every city lord in the world's hundred cities is a legend, and some can even be said to be great people who span two eras.

And Bai Haisheng is one of the great men, and being able to live to the age of sixty in the world of chaos and calamity is enough to show that his personal strength is very strong, and he is one of the few S-level enhancers in White Sea City.

At the same time, under his management, Bai Haicheng's strength has reached a very terrifying level, with many thermal weapon transformation systems in the old era, remnants of old technology, a perfect Enhancer training system, a new era of military science and technology system research and development, and the mass production of Enhancer potions under development, etc......

Any achievement of White Sea City can only be possessed by those who are the great gathering places of the hundred cities, and no matter how large the population of other gathering places is, they are not enough to compete with them.

Such an old man who built one of the homes of human refuge with his own hands is deeply loved by the people in the surrounding gathering places, and even today, more than 20 years later, the vast majority of people cannot forget his efforts and sacrifices for the continuation of mankind.

"Bai Lao is right, the matter has not been decided yet, Long Aotian, what are you anxious about!"

Xu Xiangming also sat in the crowd, looking at Long Aotian with a slight sneer: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, everyone here doesn't want to be the vanguard of their own gathering place, but when war comes, someone always needs to sacrifice, I have done everything to dedicate myself to the continuation of mankind, and so do others, what reason do you have to refuse?" ”

"Put NMDGP!"

Long Aotian was furious, blurted out the swear words of the old world, raised his hand and pointed at Xu Xiangming angrily: "Don't think I don't know what kind of calculation you have in your stomach, pointing to the destruction of the Wolong gathering place in the tide of ghouls, you can monopolize the resources in the Wolong Forest?" ”

"I'm telling you, dreaming!"

"Where the tide of ghouls sweeps, no creature will stay, even mutant beasts will run out, and the life of herbs will be sucked away!"

"Even if the ghoul tide hadn't destroyed the Wolong Forest, Lao Tzu would have burned it down, so you wouldn't be able to eat a single fart!"

Long Aotian shouted, his words were vulgar, making some people frown, and some of them tried their best to suppress their laughter.

The grudges and frictions between the two are not secret, and every leader of the gathering place here has heard of it, but it is not a big trouble, and no one cares about it.

Xu Xiangming's face was gloomy: "Long Aotian, forest resources belong to all mankind, you are destroying everyone's common wealth!" ”

"I'll burn it when I go back, you bite me if you have the ability?"

Long Aotian crossed his waist with one hand and squinted at Xu Xiangming: "Even if you want to bite, Lao Tzu is not happy." ”

"You!!"

Xu Xiangming was furious, this Long Ao was really ignorant of what to do, he had to lose face in front of everyone, he didn't have the demeanor of the leader of the gathering place at all, he was just a pure hooligan.

"Enough, stop arguing!"

A middle-aged officer beside Bai Haisheng suddenly shouted, and anger appeared on his majestic face: "What are you arguing about!" What time is it now, the tide of ghouls is coming soon, do you want to fight among yourself! ”

He is the son of Bai Haisheng and the recognized next city lord of Bai Hai City, Bai Haoyu, thirty-eight years old, just broke through to the rank of S-level enhancer last year.

Tiger generals father and son, a double S, the regime of Baihai City can be described as unbreakable.

"Hmph."

Xu Xiangming snorted, Bai Haoyu spoke, he didn't want to deal with Long Aotian anymore.

On the contrary, Long Aotian refused to admit defeat, and looked at Bai Haoyu with his head held high: "Deputy City Lord, it's still the same sentence, I resolutely disagree with this plan!" ”

"Why?"

Bai Haoyu looked at Long Aotian and said in an indifferent tone: "As long as you give me a sufficient reason, I can change the battle plan." ”

"According to the information that Bai Lao said earlier, we already know that the ghoul tide is unprecedented this time! That's more than the massive ghoul infestation when you first built the city! ”

"If you want to turn the battle line and guide the tide of ghouls to the front of the Wolong Forest, wouldn't this be putting the tide of ghouls at the door of the Wolong gathering place?"

"My Wolong gathering place doesn't have such a complete defense system as Baihai City, and when the time comes, there will definitely be heavy casualties, or all the people will be killed!"

Long Aotian looked at Bai Haoyu and said in a deep voice: "I, Long Aotian, am not afraid of death, I want to go to the battlefield and Lao Tzu will be the first to go!" But the Wolong gathering place can't do it, there are 100,000 people in the Wolong gathering place, and as their boss, I can't watch them die. ”

"100,000?"

Bai Haoyu smiled dumbly, stared at Long Aotian, and said word by word: "Then do you know how many people there are in Baihai City?" Tens of millions of people! ”

"This time, the scale of the ghoul tide is unprecedentedly strong, and even Baihai City may not have the confidence to defend it, do you want to let the ghoul tide kill directly at the gate of Baihai City?"

"I ask you! Is it the lives of 100,000 people that matter? Or are the lives of tens of millions of people important? ”

Facing Bai Haoyu's questioning, Long Aotian was speechless for a while, and could only snort: "Anyway, Lao Tzu just doesn't agree, if you change the direction to defend, I promise to be the first to go to the battlefield!" Guaranteed to be the first to die! ”

"Long Aotian, stop messing around."

Xu Xiangming looked at Long Aotian with a smile on his face: "This is not a matter of the Wolong gathering place, I also want to use the mountain gathering place as the first line of battle, but unfortunately there are Taiping Mountains near the mountain gathering place, and the ghouls do not go to the mountain range." ”

"Not bad."

Bai Haoyu nodded, glanced at Xu Xiangming, and there was something he didn't say.

If Baihai City is really lost, the Great Mountain Gathering Area is a backup retreat location, escorting as many humans as possible to retreat to the Taiping Mountain Range, waiting for the tide of ghouls to leave.

As for those who didn't have time to escape, the fate is already self-evident.

This time, the scale of the ghoul tide was large enough to make all the members of White Sea City tense their nerves, and it could even be said that everyone didn't even have more time to prepare, and the ghoul tide came too quickly and too quickly.

According to the previous experience in dealing with the ghoul tide, Baihai City can scan the gathering of the ghoul tide half a month in advance with the radar system that was renovated in the past, and make targeted defense planning and deployment in advance according to the direction of the ghoul tide.

In addition to the old modified radar system, White Sea City also has special speed enhancers, forming a ghoul patrol team, patrolling or stationing in the field in shifts for 24 hours, observing the movement of the ghoul tide with the naked eye, and at the same time returning to White Sea City as soon as possible with its own speed.

But this time there were too many ghoul tides, which were full of all kinds of new ghouls, the old radar system was blocked by the new ghouls, and the ghoul patrol found the gathering of the ghoul tide for the first time, but they didn't have time to escape before they were caught up by the high-level ghouls in the ghoul group and tortured and killed.

There was no news of the thirteen ghoul patrols in a row, and it was not until Bai Haoyu personally went to investigate that he found that the tide of ghouls had approached not far from Baihai City, and with the sacrifice of many entourages, Bai Haoyu was able to escape death and bring back the news.

Even the S-level powerhouse has a high probability of dying when he looks at the ghoul tide from a distance, which shows the scale and strength of the ghoul tide this time.

According to Bai Haoyu's visual measurement, there are at least a million ghoul tides, black and overwhelming, and there is no end in sight, and even he is not sure about the exact number of ghouls, conservatively estimated at least one million, including many new ghouls that he has never seen.

There is a high-level ghoul commander in the ghoul tide, with a clear purpose, and he came straight to White Sea City.

In order to avoid the failure of the White Sea City's defense, it is necessary to activate the old guidance system of the White Sea City, and use the sonic system left over from decades ago to guide a large number of low-level ghouls in the ghoul tide to the nearby distant gathering places as the first front.

Although under the command of high-level ghouls, humans cannot forcibly change the targets of the ghouls, they can influence and distort the route of low-level ghouls, and use the large and small gathering places around the hundred cities to set up dozens of battlefields and defense lines, one by one to weaken the combat power of the ghoul tide, and achieve the goal of successfully defending the ghoul tide.

This is the usual practice of the Hundred Cities, which is generally used to face the irresistible mass tide of ghouls, and to exchange the least sacrifice for the survival of the most humans.

And the Wolong gathering place is the first line of this plan.

It often serves as a gathering place for the front-line battlefield, facing the most fierce first wave of the ghoul tide, and there is no survivor of the first-line gathering place for more than 20 years.

This is also the reason why Long Aotian refused.

But it's a pity that everyone present doesn't support Long Aotian, most of them are silent, unlike Xu Xiangming's cynicism, which is already their greatest tolerance for Long Aotian.

Even Bai Haisheng, who has always been gentle towards people, did not express his opinion, but let his always strong son Bai Haoyu come out to preside over the overall situation and make a final decision.

Obviously, this is also Bai Haisheng's own opinion.

He also hoped that the Wolong Gathering Area would become the first front, and use the lives of 100,000 people in the entire gathering area to weaken the power of the ghoul tide.

Of course, the warriors of White Sea City will also go to the first front to fight, but they will not fight to the death, but will fight and retreat, and will not start Armageddie until the ghoul power is weakened to a certain extent.

"I ......"

Long Aotian still wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to fight for the hope of survival for the people in his gathering place.

The people of the first front, who are not allowed to evacuate the gathering place, must remain in enough human beings as attraction, this is a cruel rule.

Long Aotian knows, so he is very uncomfortable now.

Especially seeing Xu Xiangming's smiling face, Long Aotian couldn't wait to draw a knife on the spot and cut this thing, but he knew that he was afraid that he would be suppressed by Bai Haoyu on the spot before he succeeded in drawing the knife.

This is a road to death.

"Ugh."

Long Aotian sighed deeply and sat in his chair in silence.

"Since Long Aotian has no opinion, then I will continue to talk about the next plan and arrange the follow-up front gathering place."

Bai Haoyu glanced at Long Aotian, he didn't want to comfort Long Aotian, and there was no need.

After the tide of ghouls, Long Aotian may not be able to live, even if he is lucky not to die or escape, anyway, as long as those 100,000 people are still in the gathering place, it is enough to achieve the strategic purpose of the first front.

Bai Haoyu's next arrangement, Long Aotian didn't have the heart to listen, he was now thinking about what kind of method to use to make more people survive in the Wolong gathering place.

Even if that hope was slim, he had to give it a try.

That's when it happened.

"City Lord!"

"Urgent intelligence news!"

A guard appeared at the door of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and reported loudly.

Bai Haoyu's eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.

At this time, there was an urgent intelligence message?

He couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Say." ”
