Chapter 49: There Are Demons
This time the mutant tide is a huge threat to the entire Chang'an Defense Zone, but it is also a huge opportunity for the princes and others who are in charge of Xianyang City for the first time, as long as they can successfully resist the invasion of mutants this time, Li Shanhe will be able to establish personal prestige in the Xianyang City garrison, so that the doubts about his qualifications and age will be much smaller, and it will be of great benefit to him to dominate Xianyang in the future.
In the end, after a day and a night of fighting, the garrison of Xianyang City successfully repelled the erosion of the mutant tide at the cost of nearly 2,000 casualties.
Since this wave of mutants is much smaller than the last one in terms of size and number, and with the increase in experience accumulated in the previous two interceptions and the use of a large number of high-tech weapons, the casualties this time are much smaller than expected, Rao is so, and the soldiers on the front line are all very tired.
Seeing this, Li Shanhe hurriedly ordered that the garrison of more than 1,000 people who had been left on the second line of defense on the western front temporarily took over them, responsible for taking over the vigilance and resting the fortifications, and under the call of the prince, nearly 2,000 survivors in Xianyang City also joined the team of repairing the fortifications.
The Xianyang defense crisis presided over by Li Shanhe was lifted, and within half a day, the mutant frenzy near Lantian was also repulsed, and Xiao Xiao and the others who went to support returned to the camp.
"How's it going over there?"
"Fortunately, the preparation is relatively sufficient, the important thing is that there are no high-level mutants, so it is relatively easy to resist, what about the mountains and rivers?"
"Feng Tang hasn't come back yet, I just made a phone call. The mutant tide was also repelled over there. There should be nothing going on. ”
"There's enough work for him over there." Xiao Xiao said.
"It's also a workout for him. And I saw that his eyes were quite excited when he left the camp, you and Feng Tang should also prepare, you will one day be in charge and lead the party. ”
In this way, the mutant frenzy that threatened Chang'an City was successfully repulsed, three tide attacks, three repulsions, and one time. The survivors of Chang'an City had a great deal of confidence in the guards and soldiers, and Lu Youxing also took the opportunity to recruit soldiers to replenish the soldiers who died in battle, and at the same time issued a law to encourage women to give birth, because in just a few months, the population of Chang'an City Defense Area has become sharply reduced, and the birth rate of babies has also become extremely low, and it is afraid that it will not be long before the population of Chang'an City will shrink to a terrible number. At that time, it was the time when Chang'an City was destroyed.
In the city of Chang'an, in the command center of the Military Academy. Lu Youxing didn't feel the slightest joy at the invasion of the mutant tide that he had successfully repelled, because he had received another very bad news.
A task force sent out by Chang'an was all killed in the Qinling Mountains, and they passed on a piece of news that made them very puzzled when they first arrived.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, we were contacted just an hour ago, but the information we received half an hour ago was unwritten."
"What's the message?"
"Monsters, terrible monsters"
The sound was a recording, the last cry for help from a task force that had entered the depths of the Qinling Mountains on a special mission.
Monster?! Lu Youxing frowned after hearing this, there are monsters everywhere in the Qin Mountains, all the soldiers know about this matter, but why did they send back such a message at the last moment of crisis.
"Could it be because of the mutant tide?"
"I don't rule out the possibility, but they are already on the edge of the foothills of the Qinling Mountains, and according to drone reconnaissance, there is no sign of large-scale mutant movement near that coordinate."
"Report." A warrior interrupted the questioning between them.
"What's the matter?"
"The drone that just went to the foothills of the Qinling Mountains sent back a photo."
"Photos, what photos?"
"It looks like a person, but it doesn't look like it."
"Check it out."
On the right side of the road, follow the warrior to the drone operation center, and see the scene above the screen, which is a humanoid standing in the middle of the screen, surrounded by a large number of mutant corpses.
"Can you zoom in and see?"
"Yes."
The image on the screen is enlarged, and the creature in the middle of the image is magnified by the image, which is a person, but there is no clothes on his body, his body is naked, and both the lines and muscles of the body seem to be extraordinarily perfect.
"It looks like a person."
"Division commander, this direction is the direction in which the task force's signal is cut off."
"What, sure?"
"Sure!"
In Chang'an City, as the sun sets, the soldiers and survivors who have been busy all day begin to prepare dinner.
Just when the prince's and others were preparing to start the meal, a guest suddenly arrived, and this person was the commander of Chang'an City.
"Him?" The prince was a little surprised when he heard the warrior say that he was coming to visit on the right side of the road, it stands to reason that now Chang'an City has just experienced a mutant frenzy attack, although it has been successfully repulsed, but there is still a lot of aftermath work to be done, at this time the right side of the road should be very busy, how to run to his own camp, should there be something?
Thinking so, the prince went out.
"Hello, Commander Lu."
"General Wang, I'm here to trouble you again."
"Okay, let's sit down in the room and talk slowly."
"This is a set of pictures captured by the drone we sent out, please take a look at General Wang." After sitting down on the right side of the road, he motioned to the combat staff officer who had come with him, and took out the photos he had prepared in advance from the package.
"What is this?"
After the prince took the photo, all he saw was a large number of mutant corpses, which seemed to have just been slaughtered, and the last photo was a person, a naked person, surrounded by a large number of mutant corpses.
"Alone?"
"We're not sure if he's human, but we've gotten word that a task force sent out has been wiped out, in the area of this photo where I don't know if it's a man or a monster!"
"Commander Lu, what do you mean?"
"I hope General Wang can send someone over to take a look, two third-level awakened people in the special operations team we sent have been killed, but I'm afraid that the people sent over will still be like this, so"
"I know, I'll see it myself." Wanghou said.
"That's good, that's good." After hearing that the prince personally responded to this matter, Lu Youxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing more reassuring than letting the super strong man in front of him go to investigate in person!
"Master Lu, you haven't had dinner yet, why don't you stay here together?"
"No, there are still a lot of things in Chang'an City waiting for me to go back and deal with, and this matter will trouble you, General Wang."
"It should."
The prince smiled and sent the right side of the road out, the reason why he should come down is because Xianyang is very close to the foothills of the Qinling Mountains, if there are any terrible monsters inside, then Xianyang City may also be threatened. Moreover, Su Yunqing also told him that there was a threat to Xianyang in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains.
"Is it a man or a monster?!" The prince said with the enlarged photo in his hand.
In the early morning of the second day, the morning sun was rising, the blue sky was like washing, and it was a beautiful weather with a beautiful wind and sun, and the prince left the camp and went to the foothills of the Qinling Mountains.
A few shuttles, and after a while, they came to the foothills of the Qinling Mountains. After experiencing the mutant frenzy just now, the number and density of the mutants in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains near the southern periphery have decreased a lot. Therefore, the mountains and forests in this area are very quiet, and the silence is a little scary.
It's so quiet!
This is?
The prince sniffed vigorously in the air, and as a result, he smelled a faint smell of blood. Following this bloody aura, he chased after it, only to see the corpse of a mutant on the ground, the head had been split, and the brain inside had been devoured.
According to the directions they provided, it should be around here.
The prince continued to go deeper, and as he went deeper into the jungle, he saw more and more mutant corpses, all of which were drained of their brains.
Well, this one doesn't seem quite the same!
Walking to the corpse of a mutant, the prince leaned down and found that the mutant had been sucked not only by the brain, but also by its internal organs.
"What's going on?"
As he continued to move forward, he found several more mutant corpses that had also been sucked into the brain and viscera, and he found that the level of these mutants was much higher than that of those who had only been sucked into the brain, and they should be the overlords of a small area.
The prince got up and looked up at the dense forest, which looked a little gloomy and terrifying even in the sunlight, and a smile appeared on his face.
Interesting, what kind of monster is this?
Roar!
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.
Check it out!
The prince's figure disappeared in an instant, and then appeared in the dense forest more than ten miles away, only to see a huge mutant bear standing in a mountain depression, it was roaring uneasily, as if it had encountered some terrible opponent.
But the prince glanced around and found some terrible mutant within the visual range of the surrounding area.
"What's going on, why is it restless?"
Oh!
The mutant brown bear suddenly raised its head and roared, and then frantically rushed up the mountain from under the depression, slammed its head into a boulder, and smashed the boulder several meters high, let alone a dozen tons.
After the impact, it was still shaking its massive head.
With a click, the prince heard the sound of bones shattering.
Then a hand came out of the bear's skull.
In the sunlight in the sky, the hand was still dripping with blood. (To be continued......)
