Chapter 720: General Assembly Division (1)

The Fire Thief and the Moba Feiyu are both seventh-level Star Soul Masters, and if the two of them join forces to attack, even if they can't kill Lin Zaishan, they will make him suffer; Or one entangled Lin Zaishan, while the other took the opportunity to run to Midtown to kill. Either of these tactics poses a huge threat. Fortunately, the two had important things to do and left in a hurry.

The sudden arrival of the Fire Thief and the Flying Feather and the huge threat they could bring forced Lin Zaishan to abandon his original plan of gradually and step-by-step to increase the strength of Zhongcheng, and instead attack and strengthen the defense first. He stayed up for the rest of the night, desperately installing consciousness codes and star soul elements around Midtown, until 7 o'clock in the morning.

After his busy work in the middle of the night, at least he was able to make Midtown quickly raise a large enough protective net to protect the whole city when it was attacked by the Witch Landa, Star Soul Shepherd, Fire Stealer, or Moba Flying Feather, etc., so that he and the Midtown people had time to make various defensive reactions.

At 7:30 a.m., Lin Zaishan returned to the city hall conference room (and headquarters). Last night, except for himself, He Xiaotian, and Huo Qiankun, the three top managers, the rest of the dignitaries were restricted from moving freely and stayed in the city hall all night. Among them, more than half of them simply stayed on duty in the conference room and stayed overnight.

As soon as Wang Chengba saw Lin Zaishan, he greeted him with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Lin!" ”

"Good morning, Minister Wang!" Lin Zaishan responded politely.

Wang Chengba said softly: "Mr. Lin, you also know that after the chaos of the past few days, the pig farm in the suburbs I am in charge of has been left unattended, and my subordinates have been strictly restricted from going out of the city. I'm worried about the cute little pigs that I've worked so hard to raise. Mr. Lin, if something happens to the piggy and the meat ingredients are not available, you can't blame me. ”

"I passed by the pig farm last night on my rounds, and the piglets were all safe and sound."

"That's good." Wang Chengba looked left and right, and asked with a heavy face: "You said yesterday that the search and rescue team I sent has met with the survivors of Belvedere and is rushing to Midtown overnight. But I kept calling last night, but I couldn't contact Lei Hong and them. Do you think something will happen? ”

Before Lin Zaishan could answer, the personnel on duty next to the communication equipment shouted in surprise: "There is a distress signal, it was sent by the survivors of Belvedere." They claim that they are besieged by a large number of insect swarms 150 kilometers to the south, and the situation is critical, and they ask us to go to the rescue immediately! ”

"There's news of Lei Hong, I expected them to be besieged by the biters, and I can pick them up during the day today at the latest." Lin Zaishan patted Wang Chengba on the shoulder, turned his face to the staff and said, "Hurry up and inform the two consuls, He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun!" ”

With Lin Zaishan's character, he will set off as soon as he hears the distress signal, but the personnel and equipment in Zhongcheng are not really under his command and dispatch. According to the existing procedures, in order to dispatch large-scale armed forces, it must be jointly authorized by He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun. Lin Zaishan had to wait patiently.

Eight minutes later, He and Huo arrived panting. Lin explained the situation to them, demanded immediate authorization to take over the operation, and ordered the relevant personnel and equipment to be in place immediately. He and Huo naturally obeyed without hesitation, but the personnel of the collection department did not have this attitude and efficiency, they were all grinding and hurrying, and they delayed for 10 minutes and still did not complete the assembly.

In the rescue event, every minute and every second is important, and more delay means more deaths. Lin Zaishan couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to He and Huo: "I'll go to the emergency first, you must do whatever it takes to make the collection team set off as soon as possible to pick it up!" "After speaking, the space is crossed.

He and Huo glanced at each other, and they both clearly felt Lin Zaishan's impatience and anger just now. Annoying Lin Zaishan, this is definitely not a price they can afford. The two immediately split up and went directly to the assembly site, where they found out and killed several procrastinators on the spot. The rest of the people involved were shocked and obeyed. The speed of the subsequent action skyrocketed, and after another half an hour, the assembly was finally completed "ahead of schedule". Betters was appointed temporary front-line commander and immediately set out for the besieged site of the Belvedere.

//////

He, Huo and the others nervously checked the real-time footage transmitted by Beters and others in front of the big screen in the conference room, urging them to speed up from time to time. Less than 10 minutes after the brigade passed through the shelterbelt made of intelligent plants, a large number of insects surrounded them.

Betters and the others received a death order, and the survivors of the Belvedere were not allowed to return to the city. Once they are on the front line, they all understand that if they cheat and play tricks at this time, they will not be able to live with their own lives, so they are all brave. The whole team adopted an attack marching formation, with 10 demigod mechs divided into two rows to open the way in front, 2 Titans followed closely behind, and the rest of the mechs flanked to escort them.

The rescue team, composed of large and medium-sized mechas, stepped on the corpses of the bugs and advanced 50 kilometers. Later, the encirclement of the insects became more and more dense, and Beters and others had to stop advancing and shrink in a circle to defend.

Large and medium-sized mechs are indeed very efficient at killing mid- and low-level bugs, but they can easily be dragged down when they lose favorable terrain. Once caught in a war of attrition, the numerical superiority of the bugs will gradually wear out the combat effectiveness of the mech swarm. Moreover, most mechs have relatively limited mobility capabilities, and it is difficult to effectively hit targets that are erratic or heavily defended on the ever-changing battlefield. If you encounter a high-level bug or a bug king, the mecha is often helpless. This is the disadvantage of the lack of high-level Star Soul powerhouses in the team.

The mecha team led by Betters was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of bugs. At first, the swarm was mainly a low-level guard bug, and it was relatively easy to deal with; But after half an hour of siege, throwing bugs, rhinoceros bugs, flea bugs, explosive bugs and other insects came in one after another, which made Beters and others tired and eventually suffered casualties. Two demigod mechs were destroyed, and 10 operators were overwhelmed by bugs, half of whom were torn to pieces and eaten alive, and the other half committed suicide by swallowing guns.

Seeing the critical situation on the battlefield, everyone in the conference room looked anxious.

Huo Qiankun asked, "Brother He, do you have any way to help them?" These are the elite of our Midtown. ”

"For now, the only way to do this is to launch missiles. Fortunately, we have a lot of short-range missiles in our inventory, and the area where Beters and the others are located is exactly within the attack range of the missiles. He Xiaotian resolutely ordered at the communicator: "Missile Launch Center, I am He Xiaotian, biological information verification, authorized missile attack: the number is 24, launched in 3 batches; target area F22, attack the target swarm; Please intelligently avoid our personnel and mechs. ”

Eight missiles took off from an underground launch base in Midtown and soon exploded in besieged areas such as Betes. These missiles are all very powerful, and each one is equivalent to 5-10 times the attack of Wu Chaoqun's Thunderbolt Fire ability. Eight missiles exploded one after another in eight directions, and the shock waves caused by the explosions overlapped each other to form secondary damage, and the fire, smoke, and dust were overwhelming, and it took a while to restore visibility. More than 27,000 bugs were wiped out in this attack.

After seeing the scene clearly, Betters knew that this was Midtown's support, and they all raised their arms and cheered.

Unlike humans, bugs have no thoughts or feelings, and they don't have fear. Before the cheers of Beters and the others subsided, they quickly gathered and poured up like a tide again. At this time, the second round of missile attacks came, and more than 39,000 were annihilated.

As a result, the size of the siege rescue team's swarm has been reduced by more than a quarter, and as long as the third round can inflict the same amount of damage, the pressure on Betters and the others will be greatly reduced. But what's shocking is that; Just when the eight missiles of the third round flew over the target area, a large number of sparrow insects suddenly swooped down from the clouds, blocking the missile's flight trajectory with their bodies and interfering with the positioning of the missiles with electromagnetic signals. In this case, 5 missiles exploded in the air, and the remaining 3 changed course and flew to the positions of Beters and others.

“Fuck！” Betters immediately gave the order: "Shoot the interceptor missile!" ”

More than a dozen powerful laser beams focused on the nearest 1 missile, destroying it instantly; Dozens of cannons burst fire on another missile at low altitude, causing a shockwave that destroyed two demigod mechs; Betus jumped out of the mech before the last missile hit the ground, changing its trajectory with an energy beam, causing it to slide diagonally for more than 300 meters and fall halfway up a small hill.

Only then did everyone in the conference room let go of their hanging hearts. He Xiaotian sighed, "The interference of sparrow insects is too powerful. In this case, we can no longer launch missile support. ”

"What about the rescue team?"

"Now, our rescue team can only count on others to come to the rescue."

"And who will rescue them? All of our Midtown elite are there. ”

After all, He Xiaotian was more experienced than Huo Qiankun in military affairs, and he ordered the staff: "Send the situation just now to Mr. Lin Zaishan." ”

Lin Zaishan's reply was: "Don't worry, this situation is expected by me. ”

//////

Betus and the others persevered tenaciously for more than ten minutes under the reduced pressure, and the defensive circle was constantly compressed, and finally the mechs were crowded into a narrow area with a diameter of less than 100 meters. To add insult to injury, several mechs were running out of ammo or experiencing energy overload at this point.

Just when they thought they were at the end of their rope, a flash of fire fell from the sky and fell heavily on the dense area of the insect swarm, and then caused explosions, fires, and high-temperature radiation within a radius of several tens of meters. Thousands of insects were killed by this fire explosion in an instant, and a clearing with a diameter of tens of meters appeared in the midst of the vast sea of insects.

After the flames were extinguished, a tall figure dressed in a simple mecha appeared in the middle of the clearing.

"It's the rescuers coming!" Betes' men were pleasantly surprised.

"Friend, who are you?" Betters asked loudly in fluent Chinese.

"Fearless Clan, Wu Chaoqun, came to support." The man replied cleanly, then jumped into the dense swarm of insects in front of him again, and used the killing move "Thunderbolt Fire", killing thousands of insects in an instant.

"I'll go! This guy is too fierce! One of the mechanics in the Titan Mecha exclaimed to Betus, "The Dreadnought is indeed a Crouching Tiger." ”

Before Betters could respond, a woman with a graceful figure flashed in the east, waving her hands at the insect swarm, releasing dozens of powerful cyclones, rolling hundreds of insects and flying into the air, and falling to pieces like hailstones. In the West, a handsome man dressed in a mecha but without a helmet, deliberately showing a handsome face and oily hair, wielding a special big sword, with the powerful star soul energy, like cutting cabbage, flew the limbs of the swarm into the sky.

Bates and the others were dazzled, and a middle-aged beautiful woman appeared in mid-air, her hands emitting golden light clusters. When these clusters of light touch the swarm, they explode and kill the insects in pieces.

"Oh my God! These are all sixth-level star soul powerhouses! They're not all Dreadnought, are they? ”

The three people who arrived later were Feifeng, Du Ziming and Li Wenxiu. Under the leadership of Wu Chaoqun, they killed the surrounding insects in batches with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying. Betters and the others were all excited when they saw this, and they actually launched a wave of counterattacks and achieved a breakthrough.

Fifteen minutes after retreating in the direction of Midtown, another 200,000 bug pursuers arrived. Wu Chaoqun motioned for Bets and the others to leave first, and the four of them were level 6 powerhouses who worked together to lure the army of insect swarms in the other direction.

Betters led the rescue team to the edge of the intelligent plant shelterbelt in one go, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Tens of thousands of ground bugs rushed to the front without hesitation. At the sound of Bettes' order, a patch of intelligent plants clinged to the ground to meet it, separating and surrounding the insects in an instant, and devouring them completely after 10 minutes.

Seeing this, everyone in the meeting room of the city hall applauded warmly. The people of Midtown finally let out a bad breath.

Another half an hour later, Lin Zaishan covered the survivors of Belvedere and Brother Hong and others to arrive, and finally achieved a "rendezvous" with the Betus mecha team.

"Mr. Lin, I am ashamed to disappoint you." Betters apologized to Lin Zaisan at first sight.

"You're doing a great job. Without you leading the team to contain hundreds of thousands of bugs, it would be difficult for me to safely rescue the people in Belvedere. The actions of both of us echo each other from afar. ”

Betters felt relieved. Subsequently, Lin Zaishan ordered the two sides to unite and be brought back to Midtown by Betus. He and Fritsch and Schwarronsen, who rushed to support the people in Belvedere, went to pick up Wu Chaoqun and the others.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Lin Zaishan led all the sixth-level powerhouses back to Midtown safely. The moment they walked into the town hall, everyone present stood and applauded.

//////

At the subsequent welcome party, Du Lili sat beside Lin Zaishan in vain, and kept sneering at him.

"Lili, the two of us can talk about tea and chat later, and now it is even more important to settle the thousands of survivors in Belvedere!" Lin Zaishan reminded.

Du Lili originally liked to go her own way and act recklessly, but after becoming the queen of Belvedere, she was greatly restrained. In fact, she hadn't spilled in a long time. This time, when I suddenly saw Lin Zaishan, who was thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little girl and play some petty temperament.

"Okay, I got it. After I have set up my subordinates, you must accompany me to drink tea and chat. ”

"No problem."

He Xiaotian, Huo Qiankun and others unanimously nominated Lin Zaishan to deliver a welcome speech on behalf of Zhongcheng.

Lin Zaishan only said a few words: "Zhongcheng is the common home and destination of all the survivors of the end times. We are willing to welcome survivors from all over the world with an open mind, and we will work together to build a better home and future! ”

After the enthusiastic applause of the crowd, he solemnly demanded: "Let us observe a minute of silence for the people who died in today's rescue operation." ”

After the silence, Lin Zaishan continued: "I really want to continue to talk to you, but there is still a lot of urgent and important work waiting for us to complete. Let me remind you in particular: the day after tomorrow during the day, the group of Super Battleship Survivors will arrive in Midtown. We will achieve the first 100,000 grand conference since the end of the world, which is an unprecedented event, and its significance is so great that it will surely affect the entire historical process of mankind in the last days! Let's do our best to ensure the success of our rendezvous! ”
