With the fall of Eternal Night Harbor, the coalition of alliances and corporations officially opened a second battlefield to attack the colonies of the Southern Legion and even the mainland.

According to the plan, the alliance will continue to send at least 200,000 troops to the front line, in addition to transferring several major player corps from Borneo Province.

Half of the 200,000 people are citizens of the Alliance, and half are regulated and Velante volunteers from various regions.

Not long ago, the Union Council adopted a proposal to "raise the threshold for the issuance of ID cards", tightening the issuance of Union citizenship.

However, while closing a door, the Coalition's representative council also opens a window to the survivors who are eager to join the Alliance.

All Wastelanders willing to fight to end the Wasteland Age can become honorable Alliance citizens as long as they serve in the Alliance forces and have not committed major violations during their service.

While this isn't the only way to fast-track identity approval, fighting a war is undoubtedly the most reliable in the eyes of the Wastelanders compared to obtaining the status of Ideal City, South China Sea Alliance, Academy, Science and Technology Commission, and completing further studies at designated research institutions and institutions.

They do this every day in the wasteland, and even modify their own flesh for it, equipping it with mechanical tendons, mantis knives, and the like.

And for the alliance, the barracks can also serve as a nice buffer.

Through militarized management and literacy and professional skills training during their service, the Coalition can help these wastelanders integrate into civilization after retirement in a less costly way, at least so that they will know the discipline and skills to survive in society.

However, while the vast majority of Wastelanders who join the Army come for Alliance citizenship, not all of them do.

For example, the vast majority of the Willant Expeditionary Force is only here to change the wasteland and the fate of the Willants.

The change in the port of Golden Gallen not only allowed the Borneo people who grew up on the red soil to see another possibility of the world, but also influenced many of the Eastern Legion, the Southern Legion, and even the Willant people of the New World.

They used to be engaged in the slave trade there.

Now, far from collapse, the port of Golden Gallen, where the slave trade was banned, has become one of the brightest jewels of the Borneo Sea.

And not even just the Port of the Golden Gallen.

There are too many real-life examples that give them hope for the end of the Wasteland Age.

So they chose to take up guns and fight, liberating their compatriots!

In addition to the more than 200,000 troops sent by the Alliance, the company will also send at least eight more divisions to the front.

Although the investment in the number of people in the latter is much smaller than that of the former, enterprises are willing to take on more obligations financially and logistically.

For example, the council allocates funds, and the alliance's factories are responsible for production, which is then sent to the front through the South China Sea Alliance's fleet and transport ships.

Today's alliance factory is no longer the small workshop of the past.

Although most of the factories cannot be compared with the mature production lines of the ideal city in terms of scale effect, after integrating the technologies and production methods of all parties, several industrial parks of the alliance have not only caught up with the footsteps of the major groups of enterprises in a few areas, but even surpassed them.

This is especially true in the field of drones and biopharmaceuticals.

Regarding the battle on the front line, Chu Guang was not very worried.

Today's Southern Army is like an earthworm that has been broken in two, losing both the support of external forces and the most critical hearts and minds, and defeat is only a matter of time.

As a manager, it is enough for him to wait quietly in the rear for the good news from the front line, and to watch out for the "strange tricks" of desperate gamblers.

In contrast, he was more interested in the gravity well in the southern seas, which was the thing that really opened a window to the planet.

Chu Guang had even already figured out the version number for the next update.

However, at the end of the month, he heard bad news from an old friend from the north.

“…… The deployment of gravity wells had to be delayed. ”

Barracks outside the settlement of ten.

Yang Kai, who had just come off the scientific research ship, said this to Chu Guang with a slightly embarrassed expression after greeting a few words.

Chu Guang was obviously stunned for two seconds after hearing this, but he didn't blame him, but just said with concern.

"Is there something wrong with the technology?"

Yang Kai shook his head.

"Not really."

Chu Guang: "Then why ......?"

Yang Kai continued.

"Our intelligence system has received information that the top brass of the Southern Army has bet their hopes of turning the tide on a decisive weapon called the 'Death Potion'...... I'm guessing you've heard of it. ”

Chu Guang frowned slightly and nodded.

Not only had he heard that his Guards had been investigating this matter, but because the Southern Legion had done a good job of counterintelligence and the Great Desert was too far away from the Alliance's core sphere of influence, progress had been slow.

And to be honest, he was skeptical about whether the "death agent" could actually produce the expected killing effect.

The wasteland world is different from reality, and the Willant people are not the only ones on this planet who are genetically modified, and almost all humans living on this planet are theoretically more or less theoretically a little bit.

The widespread application of gene technology has been imperceptibly transforming the human gene pool.

It was a long and protracted endeavor, and lasted almost half of the Age of Prosperity until the Wasteland Age.

It's just that the genetic modification of ordinary people is not as thorough as that of the Willantes.

It is precisely for this reason that many viruses that can be put on Earth to kill all sides are at best a flu in the wasteland.

Betting the odds on the virus, Chu Guang felt that that Tyr was probably crazy.

Seeing something from the expression on Chu Guang's face, Yang Kai continued.

“…… I know what you're thinking. Yes, most of the viruses in the wasteland are no longer lethal to the remnants of the Age of Prosperity, but artificially designed viruses are a different story. ”

"They can use the technology of the Age of Prosperity to design a virus that targets the remnants of the Age of Prosperity - or to put it another way, this virus will only be useful to the old humans, and will not be effective against the new humans such as the Willants, mutants, and other new humans generated entirely by gene-editing technology, or will have limited effect!"

"In this case, they only need to infect the Willantes with the virus, and then let the Willantes spread all over the world, and then do nothing, just watch the box containing the demon open and continue to ferment."

Worried that Chu Guang had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, Yang Kai continued patiently.

"Think about how the natives of the New World died...... I'm talking about the indigenous people of the old days. Less than one in a thousand died on gunpowder, the vast majority died from the virus that the colonists brought from the Old World to the New World, and now they intend to do the same. ”

But that sounds too whimsical.

Chu Guang pondered for a moment and said.

"Is this a technical thing to be done? It only works for others, not for the Willantes. ”

"As long as you get the gene source code of the Willante," Yang Kai stared at him seriously and continued, "and according to our intelligence...... In the past few days, the gene source code has been transported to Avant City, and the preparation of this decisive weapon has entered the final stage. ”

"So...... Do you think the laboratory of this dead-agent virus is in the city of Avant? Chu Guang pressed his eyebrows and continued, "This is a bit different from our information, we believe that the laboratories are located on the western coast of Borneo Province and the colony of the Southern Army in the southern part of the Great Desert. ”

Yang Kai continued.

"It's not a contradiction, they can have a lot of labs, one of which collects data on the front line, and the other part does aggregate analysis in the rear, just like producing an airplane, you work through many production lines and then assemble it."

"I understand, but what does this have to do with our gravity well project?" Chu Guang cast an inquiring glance at Yang Kai, but the latter did not directly answer his question, but just stared at him intently.

After about ten seconds, Chu Guang suddenly read the answer he didn't say from his eyes, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I see...... You want to wipe the city of Avent off the map? ”

The activation of gravity wells will change the gravitational parameters of the Earth's perimeter region, which will affect the deployment of weapons in orbit in outer space.

This is the only explanation.

The Academy was hinting—or encouraging—that it hoped that it would pull out the weapon it had inherited from Boulder in a war that was almost certain to be won.

Yang Kai immediately leaned back in his chair and stretched out his hand to show that he hadn't said that, but quickly added a sentence later.

"We must admit that neutron extermination is the most efficient method of the known means...... If this 'weapon of defiance' were to be wrapped up and taken around the world through the countless Willantes who had left the city of Avent, hundreds of millions of survivors would die. ”

Chu Guang stared at him intently.

"There are millions of inhabitants in the city of Avent, and if you count the inhabitants of the surrounding area, there are tens of millions, and it's not just the people of Wilantes."

"Yes, I know, it's not a good idea, but can we blame it? We've done our best to recover the lost technology...... If it weren't for something like this, we would never support your use of that kind of thing in war. ”

Yang Kai sighed and sat up straight from his chair.

His ten fingers crossed on his knees, his eyes looked at Chu Guang sincerely, and he continued.

"I want you to know that this path was not chosen for them, it was they who gave up their right to live on this planet as humans, so you don't have to feel too guilty."

"I knew it wasn't an easy choice to make, and if you wanted some people to live, you had to let others die...... So we hope you'll think twice before making a decision. ”

Yang Kai, who left these words, stood up with the armrest of the chair, bowed his head slightly, and then left the barracks and returned to the scientific research ship.

Chu Guang stared at the back of him leaving, squinting his eyes for a long time and did not speak.

It's exactly the same as the last time during the "torch crisis".

When they couldn't make a decision and couldn't do it, these "old things" once again handed themselves the coins with sticky.

If there is clear evidence that this superweapon does exist in Avent City, history will give him a mixed assessment at best.

But don't talk about any clues now, some are just an ambiguous hint from a B-level researcher in the academy, and those guys won't even give him a chance to shake the pot.

If you really press this button, even if the alliance finally wins this war, I am afraid that it will fall into another crisis.

Chu Guang had never seen the power of that weapon, but according to the descriptions he had heard from different people, it was much more powerful than a nuclear weapon, and it was said that there would not be a single cell left in the central area of the strike location, and the depth of the strike could reach the mantle.

But then again, if the academy really has any specific clues, instead of an illusory "possibility", will he still need to fire the map cannon?

It is far more efficient to pull a group of airborne troops directly in the past.

And no one can guarantee that after the use of strategic weapons by the Alliance, the corps did not have the corresponding countermeasures.

The legion just disintegrated, not disappeared.

Chu Guang was only glad for one thing now.

Luckily, he still had a hole card in his hand.

Otherwise, it's really hard to do......

With his index finger tapping lightly on the arm of the chair, he closed his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts, and soon opened them again.

"Xiaoqi."

"Yes, master."

The energetic voice soon jumped into his ears.

Chu Guang could feel that Xiao Qi was cheering him on in his own way.

However, this kind of thing is not enough to stump him.

With a faint smile, Chu Guang continued.

"A private message to the [Battlefield Atmosphere Team]."

"Tell him it's time for our 'Archon' to come out."

……

In the real world, an ordinary three-bedroom apartment.

The battlefield guy who had just gone offline ordered a takeout, and was sitting in front of the computer while scrolling through the forum, while eating on the rookies' commotion.

Just when he was overjoyed, he suddenly saw a small red dot on the private message column.

The battlefield guy didn't think much about it, and directly clicked on the private message.

And it doesn't matter if this is opened, after reading the content of the private message, he was taken aback.

"Damn?! What the hell is going to work?! ”

【Mission:】

[Mission Description: The desperate Southern Legion has stolen the genetic source code of the Willant stored in Triumph City, and intends to develop a virus called the "Death Agent" to remove all survivors except the Willant from the surface of the earth and use it as a weapon in the decisive battle against the civilized world.

If the Southern Army's plan succeeds, hundreds of millions of survivors are expected to die under his scheme.

In order to prevent the worst from happening, the South China Sea Alliance fleet is advancing in the direction of Avent City, and the Alliance's orbital weapons are also on the way to be deployed, ready for the final reckoning. 】

[Mission Objective: Stop the Southern Army's plan at all costs before things get irreparable!] 】
