Chapter 149: Rat Tide!

"It must have been a sudden power outage." A communications soldier put down the headset in his hand and replied in a low voice.

"Power outage? How can there be a power outage? Major General Zhang's heart was also tight, the fierce battle ahead was in full swing, and at this time, there was a sudden power outage, and a bad premonition faintly appeared in his heart.

This is a front-line command post, and no one dares to risk losing their heads to be negligent in the supply of electricity, since it is not man-made, then the problem is troublesome.

"Immediately investigate the cause of the power outage and start the backup power immediately." He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and quickly ordered.

A minute later, the backup power was activated, the command room was back in normal operation again, and radio communications were restored to the front.

Everything is normal on the defensive line, the attacks of the Demon Boar and the Sinking Demon have shown a decline, and victory is close at hand. But Major General Zhang's heart felt more and more weird.

Just as he was about to send someone to urge the technicians to investigate the results of the breakdown, the old chief suddenly rushed into the operations command room with a group of staff.

"Hello Chief!" Major General Zhang's face was solemn, and he immediately stood up and saluted.

The old chief just nodded at him, and then walked straight to the projection in the combat command room.

"Take the aerial footage of the drone."

A staff officer behind him immediately stepped forward and took over the original technician. Soon, the image of the perimeter of the defensive line that was originally shown on the projection screen quickly switched to a high-speed moving wilderness.

Seeing this scene, Major General Zhang was stunned for a moment. The battlefield surveillance radar on the front line is monitoring the movement of the entire battlefield at all times, but at this moment it is necessary to send out drones, doesn't that mean that there is a big mess outside the radar search range?

"Chief, this? What the hell is going on? Major General Zhang immediately stepped forward and asked cautiously.

The old chief glanced back at him, his expression unkind.

"You're the front-line commander-in-chief, you ask me?"

Major General Zhang was immediately choked back and stood aside without saying a word.

After the old chief finished speaking, he turned his head again, stared at the scenery that kept flashing on the big screen, and sighed.

"Something big has happened to the forward fortress! The power outage just now was due to the sudden power supply of the Advance Fort geothermal power plant, and the power grid of the entire camp was paralyzed by more than half. ”

"No matter how much we get in touch now, we can't get in touch with each other, only half-finished telegrams have come in."

As he spoke, the old chief handed the telegram to Major General Zhang from the hands of his subordinates.

The telegram was short, with few numbers.

"Critical! Help! There was ......"

After reading it, Major General Zhang's face instantly changed color.

"Immediately order, all the troops participating in the battle, quickly withdraw from the battlefield, and the remaining beast tide will be directly covered by artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Major General Zhang, together with the old chief, locked his eyes on the aerial footage of the drone that was sailing at high speed.

A few minutes later, buildings finally appeared in the boundless wilderness on the screen, and the drone had reached the outskirts of Jiangcheng. Major General Zhang suddenly lifted his spirits even more and stared at the screen.

There are more and more buildings on the aerial footage, and the speed of the drone is gradually decreasing. I saw that in the middle of a gray urban area, a thin dark gray line completely cut the whole picture in half. Behind this thin line is a black wave that is constantly covering the wilderness ahead.

"Stop! Magnify! ”

The picture on the projection screen suddenly stopped, and then magnified layer by layer.

As the picture unfolded layer by layer, a gasping sound instantly appeared in the command room.

Rat Tide! It turned out to be a rat tide!

Behind that thin dark gray line were hundreds of millions of mutant mice. They form a magnificent wave that pours down on the whole wilderness. The team was still expanding, and in front of the rat tide were countless demonic beasts and mutated creatures that were running wildly and fleeing.

The rat tide is everywhere, and not a single grass grows!

In this vast sea of countless mutant rats, the forward fortress just now was swallowed up cleanly without even a single wave.

And the direction they are heading in at this moment is Camp Dawn!

The fierce battle on the defensive line was in full swing, and Zhuang Yichen completely let go of his hands and feet, and rushed towards a small team of sunken demons in front of the position.

There happened to be a sinking mage in the middle of this group of sinking demons, and Zhuang Yichen could see clearly just now that this sinking demon was under the heavy artillery bombardment, and he used two consecutive teleportations, and then he escaped from the center of the explosion with difficulty with the mage shield, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow at this moment.

He rushed forward, and a demonic tentacle immediately sprinkled down, and then the corrosive arrow rain and the scythe of death were cast perfectly without gaps, and in a bunch of elite sunken demons, the sunken mage's life crystal was safely pocketed!

"Beautiful, it's really effortless!" Checking the magic crystal in his hand, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It is not uncommon for evolutionaries to fight around the entire battlefield, and with the military's artillery fire suppressing the large-scale counterattack of the beasts, now is the perfect opportunity to harvest peaches.

Put away the magic crystal, and just as Zhuang Yichen was about to continue looking for the next target, he suddenly heard an order to retreat from the position not far away.

"Retreat! Retreat on all fronts! ”

"Arrive after a minute of artillery coverage, immediately withdraw to the camp!"

The same order was repeated in various places along the entire defense line, Zhuang Yichen heard this order for a moment, and then ran to the trench without hesitation!

On the battlefield, no one will interpret orders for you, just carry them out.

As soon as the order to retreat was given, the terrible execution of the army immediately took effect. The battlefield that was chaotic one second ago became a mess, and the next second it immediately became clear.

Each firing point took the squad as a unit, alternately took cover, and quickly and orderly retreated to the rear. Rounds of artillery fire were swift and clear, and often the retreating men on the front feet had just left, and the artillery fire from that side clung to the tail of the army and stopped the beasts in the middle of the way.

Whether an army is elite or not is often not reflected in the fierce battlefield, but in the retreat.

Of course, the Evolutionaries who rushed out to fight were no less than these well-trained armies in carrying out their orders. This is not because of how high their consciousness is, but because the military said that after a minute, the artillery fire will be covered, and the time for the shells to fall is definitely not a minute and a second!

Zhuang Yichen was naturally the best among them, and when the group of recruits in his trench were still dazed, he had already rushed to the camp with a few evolutionary who had gone out to pick peaches together.

One minute, a full 60 seconds.

After the scheduled time, a burst of rockets instantly covered the entire defensive line and the mountains on both sides of the camp.

It's all 107 rockets from stock, and the military fired them like they didn't need money, and they covered three rounds in a frenzy!

After the shelling, the entire defense line was like the ground that had been repeatedly plowed over, and the soil layer of tens of centimeters on the surface of the ground was directly turned over.

The remnants of the beast tide were completely wiped out under the cover of these three rounds of artillery fire.

But that's just the beginning.
