Dawn Chapter 38 The Second Line of Defense Faces the Beast Tide

Lin Zihan followed the convoy and entered the military region, this is the first time Lin Zihan has entered the barracks, although Lin Zihan is now in the logistics of the military region's defense line, but Lin Zihan also felt the fire from the front line. As Lin Zihan got closer and closer to the defense line, the continuous sound of artillery fire, the desolate and sad roar, all surrounded Lin Zihan's ears, this was the first time Lin Zihan felt the horror outside the city, it turned out that there was such a terrible beast living outside the city.

"You come with me to get a pass, and then you can enter and exit the military zone according to the authority of your pass." The three-star military commander walked in front and took Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng to the elevator.

"Ai Jie of the Northern Military Region was ordered to assist in the defense of the Southern Military Region."

"Hello Commander!" When the soldier saw Ai Jie's rank, he immediately straightened up and gave a standard military salute, thinking that the soldier turned around and locked the elevator door, entered his fingerprints, and the elevator door slowly opened.

The elevator climbed up, Lin Zihan saw the scene outside through the observation port of the elevator, to the south of the logistics area, a large number of soldiers are gathering, most of these soldiers are wearing exoskeleton armor, it is rare to see ordinary soldiers, it seems that exoskeletons have long been popularized in the military, most of them are entry-level, Lin Zihan also saw that there seemed to be soldiers wearing a large number of primary exoskeletons in the assembly, and further into the distance, Lin Zihan could not see clearly, he could only see the crowd and the black.

"Is the military equipped with exoskeletons now?" Lin Zihan didn't know how widely used exoskeletons were in the military, Lin Zihan looked at Ai Jie curiously, this military commander didn't seem to be so scary, he should tell himself.

"Don't ask too much in the military district, you may be suspected of being a spy because of this." Ai Jie glanced at Lin Zihan, turned his face away, and looked at the scene outside.

"Fortunately, it's not a secret that you're asking, in fact, the military is the earliest user of exoskeletons, but there are a large number of troops, and it is impossible for all of them to be equipped with higher-level exoskeletons, but almost all soldiers can be equipped with entry-level exoskeletons, and the Legion of Enhancers is excluded, and the legions with primary exoskeletons can be regarded as powerful legions, such as the mechanized legion that is well-known in the north, which is comparable to the primary exoskeleton, and even higher to reach the intermediate level." Ai Jie's face was a little ugly when he said this, for so long the military in the north has always been the first in the south.

"The mechanized corps in the north is currently the most powerful exoskeleton corps, but the heavy firepower they pay attention to, although the firepower has reached the intermediate level, but the individual strength assessment is still primary, and the group tug-of-war alone is the strongest, but it is not good at melee and pursuit." Ai Jie's words did not deliberately belittle the mechanized legion in the north, it can be regarded as an objective evaluation, in the southern region military, most of them scoff at the mechanized legion in the north, but they are also aware of their true strength, but the southern region military is unwilling to admit that its own strength is inferior.

"Most of the ones you see are entry-level and junior-level, and there are also units that have reached the intermediate level in Nandu, but they are all carefully selected small detachments, and they rarely appear on frontal battlefields in such large-scale operations." Ai Jie looked at the army gathered outside, if one day the mid-level exoskeleton can reach batch driving, and there is no need for end-brain technology and pilots, maybe when facing this beast tide again, the loss will be much smaller.

"Okay, I can only tell you so much, remember, talk as little as possible in the military region next." Ai Jie looked at the place in the distance that was as bright as day, it should be near the second line, the second line of defense is not like the first line of defense, most of them are composed of automatic heavy firepower, and the soldiers are just controlling from a distance. The second line is the line of defense formed by soldiers, where humans and beasts are in the exchange of fire, and where the soldiers are killed and wounded the most.

Ai Jie is relying on the growth from a soldier step by step to the army commander, Ai Jie has become today's three-star army commander by virtue of military merits, Ai Jie is in the Northern Military Region, has participated in the encirclement and suppression of fierce beasts many times, and naturally knows the improvement of the military by the driver and the enhancer, if you can really make the entire army reach the intermediate exoskeleton, then you can march into the no-man's land on a large scale, encircle and suppress the fierce beasts, control the number of fierce beasts, you can avoid this terrible beast tide, reduce the sacrifice of soldiers.

"Commander Aijay, you seem to be worried about the soldiers." Lin Zihan looked at Ai Jie's eyes, there seemed to be a care, a prayer, and more worry in those eyes.

"If the pressure on the second line of defense is too great, they will be sent to fight back to relieve the weapon load of the second line of defense, I am the commander of the army from the soldier to today, I naturally know what it means to send them out?" Ai Jie didn't continue to look outside, but chose to withdraw his gaze and look at Lin Zihan, Ai Jie couldn't bear to look outside again.

"Ding~" The elevator stopped, Lin Zihan followed Ai Jie to the office area of the Southern Military Region, the people here were in a hurry, although this is the headquarters, but the news from the front line, as well as the issuance of orders, must be dealt with as quickly as possible, for fear of irreparable losses caused by a second late.

"You're done, go downstairs and wait for me, I'm going to the command room." Ai Jie took Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng upstairs, arranged for someone to take them to apply for passes, turned around and left, and walked towards the combat command room.

"Aijie is here to report!" Opening the door of the command, Ai Jie saluted the operational commander who was watching the analysis of the battle situation on the big screen in the command room.

"According to the commander's arrangement, Ai Jie, you will not be under my command after you come to the Southern Military Region, you only need to send those intermediate armors, and we will form an exoskeleton army as soon as possible." The operational commander glanced at Ai Jie, the man of the year in the Northern Military Region.

"I applied to lead the team myself and go to the second line of defense to help defend." Ai Jay looked at the data analysis on the screen in the command room, and the battle from the first line of defense was fierce, and only a little more than 20% of the survivors from the first line of defense had withdrawn.

"Then you can rush to the second line of defense with your legion and exoskeleton warframe!" The combat commander looked at Ai Jie, his tone was a little low, even if the second line of defense was defended, it was a heavy loss, and now he seemed to understand why the commander wanted to transfer Ai Jie to escort him personally, because the commander knew that Ai Jie would definitely go into battle in person when he came to the Southern Military Region, so the pressure on the Southern Military Region would be relieved a lot, after all, there was a strong man joining, and the impact on the battle situation was still great.

The commander watched Ai Jie walk out of the command room, this general is not comparable to himself, in the military, it is a matter of strength, this commander is a well-deserved three-star commander, according to rumors, he is a king-level peak strengthener, how can he be compared with his own combat command. In the army, there are those who rely on their strength to become commanders and commanders, and the strength of those people is the strongest in the army, how can a commander in the combat command room like himself be compared with the strong, and he is just a commander who hides in the rear and is responsible for data.

"I hope this commander can help us defend the second line of defense, and immediately contact the commander of the second line of defense, tell him that the reinforcements will arrive in an hour, and let him hold the second line of defense no matter what."

Lin Zihan had already completed the pass, and waited downstairs with Lin Yafeng, "I shouldn't know you, since I met you, you see what happened to me, the last thing I shouldn't have is to meet Xu Qiaoyi's parents, and there won't be so many things, now that I have come to the military region, I still face the beast tide." Lin Zihan shook the pass in his hand and began to complain about the not very good situation, and even said that it was a little bad.

If he didn't have an exoskeleton, he might still be an ordinary student now, living the life of a student, but since he realized that he had an extra exoskeleton, Lin Zihan desperately wanted to unravel his life experience and the origin of the exoskeleton.

"Where you come, you are safe." Lin Yafeng glanced at Lin Zihan, thinking in his heart, if it weren't for you, would Lao Tzu come to the military region to work hard? I should have stayed away now, at least not to come to this line of defense to face the beast tide.

"Fighter planes in the air are ready to sortie."

Lin Zihan heard the harsh sound that pierced the air and the huge roar, and looked at the source of the sound, and in the sky above the military region, eighteen fighters flew over and rushed to the front line.

"You say that the city defense line is just that, why should even the air be controlled." Lin Zihan looked at the flying fighters, this was the first time he had seen anything other than blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

"The military region has a huge energy shield in the air, and it will strictly control the air power to resist the fierce beasts in the air, otherwise why do you think the flight time of civilian airliners is strictly controlled, because the energy shield will only be open at the specified time, if the air is not controlled, the energy shield may be scrapped in a few days." Lin Yafeng looked at the white smoke left behind by the flying plane, maybe this time he was really facing an unpredictable beast tide.

"Come with me, and I'll send someone to take you to safety near the second line of defense, and keep you safe." Ai Jie walked out of the elevator and saw the backs of Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng.

"What about you, Commander Aijie? Go back to the Northern Military District? Lin Zihan heard Ai Jie's loud voice and turned away.

"I will personally lead the team to the second line of defense, and the order I received is to assist in the defense of the Southern Military Region." Ai Jie came to Lin Zihan. Lin Zihan is one meter eight tall, but standing in front of Ai Jie, he is still more than half a head shorter, and Ai Jie patted Lin Zihan on the shoulder. "You can take on this important responsibility at Emgrand at such a young age, and the future is promising."

"Actually, I'm still a student, and I'm just an intern experimenter at Emgrand, because I'm good at exoskeletons, so I'm sent to collect data." Lin Zihan touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly on his face.

"Young man, are you interested in coming to the military laboratory after graduation, I can personally introduce you when the time comes." Ai Jie looked at Lin Zihan's somewhat cramped appearance and laughed a few times.

Lin Zihan admired Ai Jie's fearlessness in the face of danger, facing such a powerful beast tide, he could still laugh like this, what kind of strength this military commander was. Ai Jie exudes the self-confidence of the strong, Lin Zihan feels that with this military commander, it seems that the beast tide is not so terrible, this is the first time Lin Zihan has an impression of the soldiers, the first time he has seen the self-confidence of the strong, it turns out that he was just pretending before, where can he be considered a strong man, this is the second time that Lin Zihan feels that his strength is insufficient and needs to become stronger urgently.

"Maybe, I'd better be free." Lin Zihan looked at Ai Jie's smile, and the depression in his heart was also relieved a little. Ai Jie didn't continue to chat, turned around and left, and soon someone came to take Lin Zihan and Lin Yafeng into the car of the military region.

In the car, Lin Zihan will think of Ai Jie's words, maybe Uncle Li was also a generation leader, but he was born at the wrong time, in the face of such a beast tide, I don't know if Lao Li can be so calm. The car was a little bumpy, and Lin Zihan sat in the car and swayed around, shaking a little dizzy. Looking out through the observation window, the barren land is a little cracked, is this a no-man's land where no grass grows?

Lin Zihan looked outside, the light of the second line of defense was getting closer and closer, the sound of guns and cannons in his ears, as well as the roar that he had never heard, the voice of the fierce beast reached Lin Zihan's ears, Lin Zihan's curiosity about the no-man's land was gone, it was more of a fear, in the face of the fierce beast, could he still be as ignorant and confident as he was in the face of Xu Mo. Now that Lin Zihan thinks about it, he thinks that with an exoskeleton, he can be invincible in the world, which is really a bit ridiculous and self-righteous, and his exoskeleton is just equipment that is not in the eyes of these strong people.

Lin Zihan recalled what Lin Yafeng said about Y-13, so terrifying strength, it can be regarded as Yinyao-level, and he is estimated to be an S-level exoskeleton warrior, or maybe he may not even be S-level, the reason why he is strong is just that there are not a few pilots and strengtheners in Longcheng, and the self-confidence and arrogance he has established in a group of weak people, seeing Ai Jie's momentum, Lin Zihan feels that the gap between his current strength and the strong is a horizontal ditch that cannot be crossed.

"Why, I don't think your expression is right?" Lin Yafeng noticed Lin Zihan's strange appearance, his face did not have the demeanor of the past, like a frosted eggplant wilting, it seems that this self-proclaimed extraordinary kid was shocked by the scene in front of him or the strength displayed by the military department, it seems that he does not need to stimulate Lin Zihan in the next days, Lin Zihan realized that the gap should be his own efforts to become stronger, so it is less, and he also saved himself from trying to arrange the layout to stimulate Lin Zihan to realize the lack of his strength.

"I feel that I was too self-righteous before, I actually think that I am the best in this world, naïve!" Lin Zihan smiled bitterly and shook his head. It turns out that exoskeletons abound in the army, which is not a rare thing, so I think that having an exoskeleton is the pride of the sky.

"Your talent is good, you can withstand the load of at least an S-level exoskeleton at such a young age, and when you are really proficient, maybe you can give full play to the true strength of your exoskeleton, and it is conservatively estimated that it is also a Yinyao level, after all, your exoskeleton armor is strong enough, you only need to constantly adapt and achieve enough interaction, it should be fine." Lin Yafeng's voice was very small, this is not a pie, if according to what Lin Zihan said, Lin Zihan's exoskeleton level should be able to reach the Yinyao level, but Lin Zihan has no experience and can't exert his full strength for the time being.
