Chapter 12: The Phoenix Flies
In the autumn of the fifth year of the apocalypse, a sudden tide of mutant beasts swept through the entire apocalyptic world.
Not only Dawning City, but also the forces on the coast of the sea and the surrounding forces of the African continent were attacked by the beast tide almost at the same time.
Before the great existential threat, the human forces temporarily stopped the infighting between them, and they were all fending off the raging beast tide.
The Illuminati could no longer care about expanding everywhere, and urgently mobilized half of the military forces of the Merovingians and the Dupont family in Europe to support the Rockefellers in Africa.
But when the beast tide broke out in full force, the military strength of the three families still couldn't stop the surging beast tide. One by one, the Illuminati's military fortresses on the periphery of Africa fell, and even retreated to Morocco and Algeria on the edge of Africa.
As long as the Mediterranean is crossed, the tide of mutant beasts from the African continent will directly threaten the heart of Europe.
The Illuminati had to take the risk of drawing the military forces of the Astor family and the Russell family from the Eastern European battlefield where they confronted the bloody Tsar, and the Rothschilds from the Central European front line preparing for the Phoenix counterattack, to urgently support the African theater.
The Illuminati mustered nearly half of the Parliament's military strength to finally hold the last two military fortifications on the edge of Africa.
It is said that at the end of this beast tide, a third-order fierce beast also appeared, and the specific circumstances of the battle were considered highly secret by the Illuminati and were unknown. The end result was that the Illuminati defeated the Beast Tide, but King Arthur and the Templar were both injured.
The war between the Dragon City of China and the bloody tsar also stopped.
The army of the bloody tsar took the initiative to stop the offensive in the area of Vladivostok and Transkhingan. Before Huaxia Dragon City had time to rejoice, the tide of sea beasts broke out.
The Longcheng army, which had just experienced a fierce battle with the bloody tsarist army, was not prepared at all, and suffered heavy losses in the first battle, with more than 20,000 elite troops killed in the battle, including the "Blue Sword" special operations team leader Rui Chenglong, four second-order powerhouses were killed in battle.
In the end, the "Dragon Emperor" Ouyang Haotian had to rush out of the customs to turn the tide and save this military port that had been spilled with countless blood.
The Bloody Tsars did not take advantage of the heavy losses of Huaxia Dragon City to make a comeback, as they themselves encountered a tide of sea beasts from the Arctic Ocean.
However, with super strong people such as the Blood Empress Sophia and the War Lord Sventovet, coupled with Ma Qingqiu's foresight, the Blood Tsar successfully resisted this beast tide at a very small cost.
And Ma Qingqiu, who showed an unpredictable prophet and a miraculous ability to lead troops in the war, also won a very high prestige in this beast tide, and truly sat on the position of the bloody tsar's left minister.
In this beast tide, the Americans suffered even more losses. The Avengers had to face the simultaneous onslaught of the beast tide on the east and west coastlines, and the already overstretched forces had to fight on two fronts, and as a result, they lost a large area of the ocean coast at the beginning of the beast tide.
At this time, the Gate of Heaven jumped out again, not only taking the opportunity to attack behind the Avengers when they were defending against the beast tide, but also claiming that this beast tide that swept the world was the wrath of God to punish the world again, and only by believing in the Gate of Heaven could they be protected and liberated.
Under the threat of life and death of the beast tide, there are really many people who believe their nonsense, and the power of the Gate of Heaven has further strengthened through this beast tide.
Faced with the onslaught of beasts and Heaven's Gate, the Avengers had to urgently withdraw their military forces scattered around the world, and relied on their own powerful weapons of mass destruction to stabilize the situation.
The Avengers stabilized their situation, but the allies, who had lost their military support, fell victim to the Beast Tide.
This wave of mutant beasts that swept the world has become another global existential crisis facing humanity after the global nuclear war.
After paying a big or small price, the major superpowers basically kept the survivors in their sphere of influence. The small and medium-sized forces around the African continent and along the oceans have fallen prey, countless human survivors have fallen prey to mutated beasts, and the human camps that have fallen under the tide of beasts are in terrible condition.
Before the end of the world, some small island countries, the human beings on them were almost preyed on by fierce beasts, and the whole island became a paradise for fierce beasts.
After four rounds of catastrophe of unknown viruses, global nuclear warfare, disorderly killing of each other at the beginning of the apocalypse, and a wave of mutant beasts, there are only more than 300 million surviving human beings in the world, and 7 billion humans have died in this apocalyptic catastrophe.
When the major superpowers rose one after another, and the ordinary people in the forces thought that they were about to see the light, this sudden wave of mutant beasts pulled the human survivors back to the cruel reality of the apocalypse.
No one knows what kind of crisis awaits humanity, no one knows where the end of the end is?
When the tide of mutant beasts was raging all over the world, Doomsday Phoenix City became a rare pure land in the world.
Phoenix's sphere of influence is neither near the sea nor thousands of miles away from the African continent, and there has not been even a small beast tide on the scale of the entire sphere of influence during this period.
Since returning from Dawning City, Chi Hua has returned to his previous days of leisurely and idleness. Even after learning that the Illuminati, which was scorched in the beast tide, had ventured to withdraw the military forces of the Rothschilds on the border, Chi Hua mercifully did not take the opportunity to stab it in the back.
Chi Hua was leisurely, and Song Yu and Yi Feng were as busy as ever.
In the last days, any bit of time for peaceful development is extremely precious, and no one knows what will happen in the next second? Everything must be prepared before the crisis comes!
New cities have been built in Phoenix's sphere of influence. In order to protect against the attacks of mutant beasts, each city was built tall and strong according to the size of a city with a population of one million, and the cities were connected by underground railways.
Human survivors have moved from the camps to the cities, returning the natural world to flora and fauna, in addition to the farms and pastures around the cities.
Ironically, it was the end of the world that forced mankind to finally achieve harmony between man and nature!
There are more than 50 million human survivors living in Phoenix's sphere of influence, roughly the same as China's pre-apocalyptic share of the world's population. Because of the peaceful and stable environment and abundant output, not only the population in China, but also the population of Southeast Asia and Central and Eastern Europe is pouring into the northwest region in a steady stream.
Phoenix has become the most prosperous city in the apocalyptic world, because of the continuous improvement of the points access standards for Phoenix residents, the qualification of a Phoenix resident is ten times or a hundred times more sought-after than the American green card of that year.
It is precisely because of Phoenix's point system that the top talents and scientists in various industries who have survived are more likely to obtain resident qualifications, and these people are even more attracted to Phoenix.
With the influx and gathering of a large number of high-end talents, under the governance of Song Yu, the modern city is being restored, and the level of high-end industries and technologies such as the military industry, the quantum information technology industry, and the biotechnology industry has even exceeded that before the end of the world.
With the intervention of supernatural abilities, some technical problems before the end of the world have been overcome one after another, and the scientific and technological level of mankind is in the initial stage of leapfrog development.
After the Fourth Industrial Revolution marked by artificial intelligence, the Fifth Industrial Revolution, marked by the combination of supernatural abilities and technology, has unknowingly begun in Phoenix.
While Song Yu is leading the economic and social reconstruction and scientific and technological development of Phoenix City in the apocalypse, Yi Fengleng is building an invincible Phoenix army for the war that may come at any time.
Yi Fengleng carried out a revolutionary reform of the Phoenix army. While the major forces are constantly expanding their armies, Phoenix is reorganizing and streamlining its army.
After the downsizing of the army, only the Evolver soldiers remained, and the soldiers who passed the examination were provided by Phoenix City to become Evolvers, and the redundant soldiers were diverted to various cities to join the police force.
While the outbreak of the mutant beast tide caused a large number of human beings to die, it also harvested a large number of first-order evolutionary crystal nuclei. As the center of world trade, a large number of first-order evolutionary crystal nuclei flowed into Phoenix City along with trade, including even extremely rare second-order crystal nuclei, which also provided the basis for Yi Fengcold's army reform.
The reorganized Phoenix Army had six field divisions of 3,000 men, for a total of 18,000 troops.
The size of this army may not seem large, but that's a full 18,000 evolutionaries! The terrifying number of evolutionary warriors made any super power tremble.
The six field divisions in Phoenix were Yang Hongquan's 1st Division, Li Yunfei's 2nd Division, Jiang Bai Chilie's 3rd Division, Zhong Liyi's 4th Division, Liang Lei's Independent Division, and Wu Yulong's Armored Division.
As for Tao Yong, the former commander of the Second Division, he returned to his old profession and was reappointed as the chief of the Phoenix City Police, managing the police forces of various cities in his sphere of influence.
After the reform, the weapons and equipment of the Phoenix City army have also been replaced with shotguns, in addition to the standard ultra-modern thermal weapons, each soldier's cold blade and armor are all made of mutated beast materials.
The significance of Yi Fengleng's reform is to let ordinary people withdraw from the war, and the war in the end times will completely enter the level of evolutionaries.
The Special Operations Group, the core elite unit of Doomsday Phoenix City, has not changed in terms of establishment except for the addition of a mutant beast cavalry brigade, but it has made another leap in combat power.
Each special combat team has two or three second-order powerhouses, and each special combat team member has reached the level of the peak of the first order.
After Qin Yurou's fall, the First Special Operations Brigade was rebuilt, with Fan Xiaoyu, who had entered the second order, as the captain, and Wu Haiyang and Duan Jiangning, who had also evolved to the second order, as the deputy captains to assist Fan Xiaoyu.
Although Ma Qingqiu was not there, Chi Hua, the position of captain of the Second Special Operations Brigade, had been kept for him, and Yao Yiyi temporarily took the position of captain, and transferred Ziniu to the Second Special Operations Brigade.
Xiao Yu, Duan Jiangpeng, and Mo Yingyang's special operations teams have not changed much, and Bian Yang, Luo Yun'er, and Li Yunpeng have joined each special operations team after absorbing the second-order crystal nucleus and becoming second-order powerhouses, and the high-level combat power of several special operations teams has been further enhanced.
After all, the brothers and sisters Xiao Ning and Xiao Ru are still young, and Li Xiaofei, who has grown into a young man, serves as the captain of the Mutant Beast Cavalry Special Operations Brigade. Although this team only has Xiao Fei, a second-order powerhouse, there is a pseudo-third-order fierce beast mount of the bald sea eagle, but it is the strongest of several special operations teams.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the weapons in the hands of the special combat team evolvers have been mostly made of second-order materials, but the truly perverted equipment on their bodies is the Phoenix Battle Armor that does not look like there is any change on the outside!
Chi Hua's metal ability enters the third-order micro-level, and is able to rearrange metal atoms. According to the honeycomb arrangement of graphene's single-layer carbon atoms, Chi Hua's deliberate metal strength has exceeded that of ordinary steel by 100 times. It also adds a new property to the metal - memory metal.
As long as the Phoenix Battle Armor is not completely damaged by the power of the Zero Realm, it can gradually recover during the battle.
But even with the full strength of a second-order powerhouse, it can't reach the zero realm power of the Phoenix Battle Armor that is completely destroyed, and the current Phoenix Battle Kai is simply a holy garment!
The Phoenix Special Combat Team wearing the Phoenix Battle Armor, this is a real immortal army!
When this terrifying army reappears on the battlefield, it will make the entire apocalyptic world tremble!
