Chapter 3: The Looming Crisis
"Report to the head of the regiment, the military region has a map of the current distribution of insects and beasts, as well as an inquiry about this morning's magic light."
Just as Su Xiaoyue pulled Qin Xin to flee from here, letting the school officer, whom Su Xiaoyue called the bald regiment leader, thunder in the house, a soldier reported at the door with a stack of Wen Jiàn.
"Come in!"
After rubbing his flushed face and cleaning up his feelings, the regimental commander let the soldiers who had come to give the order in.
"Returning to the military region, this morning's magic light Lieutenant Su Xiaoyue used his own unique magic to produce it. At present, Su Xiaoyue has lost the ability to use magic power, and applied to the military region for the demobilization process of Su Xiaoyue's witch. After hurriedly glancing at the text in his hand, the highest officer of the fortress city ordered to his herald. Inform the General Staff that the latest information has arrived, and immediately convene a meeting of the regimental headquarters! ”
"Yes, sir!"
"According to the latest intelligence analysis, because of Lieutenant Su's unique magic, most of the forwards of the insect beast army have been wiped out, so we don't have to worry about the insect beast appearing in front of us for the time being. But because of Lieutenant Su's magic, the direction of the insect beast army has been directed towards us. About eight o'clock tomorrow morning, these insects and beasts will appear in front of us, and the special train from the direction of Hengyang will not arrive at us until at least ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then counting the time for civilians to get on the train, that is to say, we will have to block about 20,000 insects and beasts for three hours anyway, so as to buy time for the masses behind us to retreat. So what do you think about the current state of the war? ”
The commander of the regiment responsible for defending the fortress city pointed to the map behind him and asked, after finishing the explanation, looking at his subordinates.
"Commander, our only witch has no way to use magic to support us, and with only 2,000 people, it is impossible for us to hold out for three hours under the siege of insects and beasts ten times our size without heavy weapons."
"Yes, Commander, or we can escort the civilians to retreat in the direction of the railway while the insects and beasts are still close to us, and wait until the train that picks us up arrives and gets on the train and leaves."
"The second battalion commander is right, let's retreat first."
"Shut up!"
With a "boom", the regiment commander slammed the table and roared.
"Retreat? Escorting tens of thousands of civilians, we can't retreat at all, and sooner or later we will be caught up by insects and beasts. At that time, if we don't have terrain advantage to defend, we will be completely engulfed by the sea of insects and beasts! After yelling at the second battalion commander who was about to lead the civilians to retreat, the regimental commander turned his head to the side and continued to roar. Can't we fight without witches? In the period between the appearance of the insect beast and the awakening of the original witch, have you forgotten how we fought? ”
"The safest way now is to use the city wall outside the city to set up defenses, try to fight for three hours to prevent insects and beasts from cutting off our evacuated railway, and then wait until all the civilians get on the train, and then evacuate all!" After drawing the bright red pen on the map, the regiment commander said fiercely.
"But regiment commander, if this is the case, our soldiers will have very high casualties!"
"Even if the casualties are high, we have to do it, do you want the civilians we protect to die at the bews of the insects and beasts? Do you remember the oath you took when you joined the army? The regimental commander shouted as he pointed to the officers in front of him. Say hello to me! ”
"Loyal to the Party, Loyal to the Country, and Protect the People!!"
"That's right, we are the people's soldiers, and we have to face our uniforms!" The regimental leader took a deep breath and said. "Tell us to choose the right civilians to put their weapons and use them as militias to supplement our line of defense. At the same time, inform our warriors to raise the walls overnight and prepare to resist the attack of the insects and beasts! Inform the guard company to strengthen the defense of the city, and those civilians must not be allowed to make trouble at this critical time! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Xin, who was wearing the witch military uniform that Su Xiaoyue had worn and had removed the rank mark, after leaving the barracks under the escort of Su Xiaoyue, unconsciously walked around his hometown city, which was extremely familiar with the terrain but the city was extremely unfamiliar.
From the constantly moving soldiers around, the constant raising of the walls to defend the city, and the confused eyes of the people who were able to pick up their rifles at the sign of the future, Qin Xin was even more convinced of the reality he had crossed.
However, this sense of unreality has always made Qin Xin a little reluctant to accept this reality, although this place is not much different from the world he once lived in, but this is definitely not the generally peaceful world he lives in.
Because this world is going on with a protracted war.
From the calendar of Su Xiaoyue's room, it was confirmed that it was now Qin Xin in the year 19**, but the target of the war was not humans, but insects and beasts that suddenly appeared on the earth ten years ago with a very high energy that landed on the earth.
From the mouths of the anxious people around him, he learned that all insects and beasts are extremely fierce, and even a heavily armed warrior is close to the insects and beasts, and there is a great possibility that there is only one way to die.
From the mouths of the people around them, they fled here because of the failure of the Guangxi defense line, and the insects and beasts are chasing after them not far behind!
And although his current body is in good physical condition, his strength is only a little greater than that of ordinary adults, can he really survive in this world?
Looking at the chaotic scene around him, Qin Xin felt that he was very helpless now
"Sister, look at that little girl, it's really strange that she is wearing a witch uniform without an army logo."
At the temporary settlement on the side of the street, the younger sister of the two sisters who used dead branches to heat the cans they received from the army's logistics department shrugged her sister with her arm, and pointed to Qin Xin, who was walking in the middle of the street.
"What?"
The sister who was concentrating on heating the can raised her head suddenly, and looked in the direction where her sister's finger was pointing, what was the pure black military uniform worn on the girl who was not the witch's military uniform?
This wild girl who came out of nowhere will appear here at this critical moment, so she shouldn't be a witch, right? But she is actually wearing a witch military uniform, which is simply an insult to the witch!
Since she was a child, she had been looking forward to being able to awaken her magic and become a witch, so she stood up angrily and chased after the girl on the street.
"Sister, wait for me!"
"Hey, stop!"
Just as Qin Xin was frowning and moving along the street, two girls who suddenly appeared in front of him blocked his path, judging from their similar faces, these two girls should be a pair of sisters.
"Something?" Qin Xin tilted his head and looked at the sisters in front of him.
"Are you a witch?" The older sister in front of her looked at Qin Xin cautiously.
"I'm not a witch?" Qin Xin shook his head.
And I want to know what a witch is.
Qin Xin also sighed silently in his heart. After she was sent out by Su Xiaoyue, before she could find out about the witch, Su Xiaoyue was called away by a soldier in the barracks and disappeared into the barracks. And without Su Xiaoyue's leadership, it is absolutely impossible for him to go to the barracks to find Su Xiaoyue again.
"Since you're not a witch, why are you wearing a witch's military uniform? Why are you qualified to wear this?! Hearing Qin Xin's denial that she was a witch, this sister pointed at Qin Xin and asked. Take off your witch uniform! ”
Did I hear me right? This ** actually told me to take off my clothes?!
Let's not say that this is Su Xiaoyue's clothes for herself, the key is that I don't have any clothes to change anymore, what will I wear after I take them off?!
Qin Xin rolled his eyes, disdainfully bypassed the girl in front of him, and walked to the side.
"You, you bastard!" Seeing Qin Xin ignoring himself and walking to the side, this girlish trembling all over, regardless of his sister's pull, directly dragged Qin Xin's sleeve, trying to pull off the black military uniform on Qin Xin's body directly.
"You madman, let me go!"
"You guy pretending to be a witch will take off your insulting witch uniform for me first!"
"Sister, stop it, over there"
"Yikes!"
Before the slightly younger girl could finish speaking, her sister was thrown into the street by Qin Xin's backhand.
Then immediately after, Qin Xin was also thrown into the street and was knocked to the ground.
Qin Xin still wanted to struggle, but after seeing that the person who subdued him was the previous corporal surnamed Li, Qin Xin decisively stopped struggling and pretended to be innocent.
"Don't you know that the regimental commander has ordered martial law throughout the city to prepare for war? If anyone dares to gather a crowd to make trouble, I can shoot you directly! On Officer Li's angry face, the green tendons were constantly writhing.
"I'm innocent, they were the ones who caused the trouble first." Before Qin Xin's words were finished, he was pressed by Sergeant Li on the back of his head and pressed his face into the dirt.
"Don't think that Lieutenant Su is optimistic about you, you can do whatever you want here, you are not a witch!" Letting go of Qin Xin's head, looking at Qin Xin's uncomfortable appearance of spitting out the soil in his mouth, Sergeant Li looked at the three girls who were all subdued with disdain and said. "Since you are so energetic, you guys will go to put supplies for the civilians for me, and when will I finish and rest!"
"It's all you!" After putting the materials in her sister's hand into the hands of an old grandmother with a smile on her face, this slightly older sister immediately turned her head and glared at Qin Xin with an angry face, as if she wanted to peel off Qin Xin's skin.
"Who caused trouble first, walking on the street inexplicably, being asked for trouble, and then being arrested to work, you think I feel good!" Qin Xin, who could only roll his eyes helplessly at the amazed change of face of the girl in front of him, said disdainfully, and then handed the can in his hand to a little girl with a smile. "This one is yours, take it."
"Sister, are you a witch?" After receiving the can handed over by Qin Xin, the little girl looked at Qin Xin longingly, and put the things in her hand in Qin Xin's hand. "Thank you for protecting me and my mom, this is for you."
Taking the things in his palm to his eyes and looking at it, Qin Xin could only look at the sky speechlessly.
Although the White Rabbit toffee tastes good, it is too much to be given to herself by a little girl.
"Hahahaha, your witch uniform can also deceive the little girl!" Looking at the scene in front of her, the girl next to her couldn't help but laugh.
"You don't speak, no one treats you as a mute!" After glancing coldly, Qin Xin squatted down and handed the white rabbit toffee in his hand back to the little girl. "I'm not a witch, you should keep this little sister of toffee."
"Sister, keep it, because you're a good person." After the little girl finished speaking, she ran back to her mother without looking back, leaving Qin Xin, who couldn't cry or laugh, squatting in place.
Harvest a good guy card, and it's strange that your good guy level has increased!
