Resurrection Empire

More than [-] people who have no fighting power have already moved into the basement of the town hall, the warehouse of the arms mall, the warehouse of the spark resources, the stateroom of the improved centralized sleeping cabin, and some citizen villas inside the white walls, etc., in safe areas loaded with a large number of automatic weapons. .

As soon as these Ruin Beasts emerged, they were immediately spotted by a large number of powerful close-combat professionals such as armored warriors and mech warriors.

Even if there were occasional fish that slipped through the net with strength above the third level, Jiang Kai and other fourth-level professionals, or Chen Hanyu who had a miniature corps, quickly arrived at the scene and wiped them out.

Casualties in this raid were minimal.

During the whole day, Ren Zhong in the Chenhui mining area did not actually go to work.

He applied for a vacation, locked himself in the dormitory, and checked the situation in Xinghuo Town through the battlefield command system.

He sees everyone's performance.

Under the extreme pressure, no one let him down.

In fact, he once imagined that in this kind of doomsday scene, when people fall into despair, the dark side of human nature will be infinitely magnified, the town will fall into chaos, and many people will die in civil strife instead.

It's not impossible.

When Yang Bingzhong used the census results ahead of time to threaten Madafu, he understood this psychological logic.

But the result was beyond his and Madafu's expectations.

Ren Zhong thought for a long time and found the answer.

He may be the only one who is really desperate.

The wild people are not desperate.

Because the barren people pinned their hopes on the "omnipotent" Mr. Ren.

As long as Mr. Ren doesn't give up Xinghuo Town, then there will always be hope.

Even those wild people who have just come to Xinghuo Town have been infected with this kind of cognition when communicating with the original local barren people.

In addition, the barren people in the wild used to live in a precarious and desperate life.

Their nerves have long been hardened by reality.

They are not afraid to die in battle.

The pension that Ren Zhong and Ma Dafu took out gave their attitude.

Even if you die, your family can still live.

This looks very similar to boarding the life-saving car of the Mengdu Group, and the barren people have long been used to it.

No one knew that Ren Zhong's heart was actually trembling.

This is trembling with excitement.

He saw great war potential in the barren people!

He saw hope.

He also understood that hope has always been there, but it was buried too deadly and controlled too well by the distorted era.

……

"Mr. Ren, the situation is very critical now. We have already wiped out all the beasts near the town these days. How can there be so many!"

"After all, Mengdu Group is one of the nine major companies. It controls resources beyond our imagination, so it won't be easily stumped by our small actions."

"That's true. We resisted during the day, but everyone is very tired. We have to take turns to rest at night, and the defensive strength will drop a lot. What should we do?"

Zheng Tian called Ren Zhong and asked anxiously.

Ren Zhong thought for a while, "According to the original plan, during the day, the two hundred gunsmiths and mecha fighters who used the metal weapons of the magic baby didn't participate in the high-intensity confrontation, right?"

Zheng Tian replied: "Yes, I forced them to start hypnosis and rest in the afternoon."

"This part of the people remains active at night. In addition, select the elite in the town, and then use some grassroots professionals who rest during the day to support the number of people to form a night watch army of [-] people."

"Okay! But... there are already so many beasts outside, can I detonate the trap?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "The time is not yet ripe."

"Huh? But there have been continuous casualties."

"We must wait a little longer, we must achieve the greatest results in one fell swoop! I will operate it."

"it is good."

……

One o'clock.

At this time, Zheng Tian had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

The legion beast suddenly mobilized a wave of attacking corps composed of thousands of third-level market beasts to pounce on the city wall.

At this moment, Ren Zhong, who was hundreds of kilometers away, notified the acting commander Yu Jin who was on duty tonight to activate the trap.

Outside the city walls of Xinghuo Town, a powerful explosion set off terrifying smoke and dust, forming a mushroom cloud that enveloped the town.

In the peaceful sleep of more than [-] barren people, thousands of third-level beasts were sent to the sky.

The momentum of the beast horde's impact suddenly stagnated.

The first night passed quietly in such a strange way.

Chapter 228 The second day, observer, I am the hole card

That night, Ren Zhong didn't sleep well.

Although he turned on hypnosis, his thinking never stopped.

Before detonating the array-type high-explosive traps laid in advance, he paid close attention to the battle situation in Xinghuo Town, analyzed every detail, and finally captured the legion beast accurately, opened the first hole card, and dispatched the third-level market beast to attack the fortified corps Timing, and then ordered Yu Jin to activate the trap 5 minutes in advance.

The unmanned drilling machine buried deep in the ground receives commands through wired data transmission, starts, advances to the ground, and detonates when it reaches 5 meters below the ground.

During this process, Ren Zhong also accurately calculated the advancing speed of the Ruins Beast Attack Corps.

The range of blasting just completely covered the third-level Ruins Beasts fortified corps, no Ruins Beast had already rushed out of the blasting area, and no Ruins Beast was lucky enough to hang behind.

It is just a "simple" operation of giving an order and letting Yu Jin press a button, but there is actually a lot of calculation hidden behind it.

As the decision maker, Ren Zhong had to consider various factors such as Xinghuo Town's own defensive firepower, the attack speed of the beasts, the geological terrain outside the town, and the speed of the unmanned drilling machine advancing underground.

Ren Zhong's command style is completely different from Zheng Tian's.

Zheng Tian is good at playing and scheduling on the spot, but he is good at calculation when he is heavy.

The big bang was beyond the expectations of many people.

The citizens watching the battle were dumbfounded, and the Mengdu Group never expected it.

It seems that the Mengdu Group originally planned to use this round of idle night raids to complete their achievements in one battle. They never wanted to be ambushed and caught upright.

Nearly half an hour after the big bang ended, after the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, there were sporadic beasts reappearing from the wild, trying to approach the town.

It stands to reason that most of the active forces in the town are sleeping at this time, and the one-time blasting trap has also been exchanged. As long as the same scale of troops as in the daytime is invested again, the town will naturally be destroyed.

But that didn't happen.

The reason is simple, the Mengdu Group has run out of Ruin Beasts.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Ren Zhong ordered Yu Jin to go to rest, and handed over the on-site command to Shi Xuan who woke up at [-]:[-] a.m. due to hypnosis due to injury at [-]:[-] p.m.

As the former captain of the township guard, Shi Xuan once fought against the beast horde, so he was quite experienced.

Although the intensity of the beast tide at that time was far less than it is now, the defense strength of the two towns was not the same.

Shi Xuan can do it.

Entrust the work to him, Ren Zhong is very relieved.

Afterwards, Ren Zhong was not idle, and then opened the battle records during the day, focusing on the details of the first day's battle.

He is continuously digging, observing, and recording every bright spot in the battle situation.

Whether it's people he knew or didn't know before, whether it's the shining points of intelligence or combat effectiveness, he will firmly engrave them in his heart.

He remembers who he is and how he performed.

Plus, he's trying to remember every big mistake someone else makes.

For example, Shi Xuan's serious injury, or Ma Xiaoling, who was so excited to kill, forgot that his energy reserves were insufficient, and almost collapsed due to the exhaustion of armor energy.

If it wasn't for Shi Lin and Bai Feng, two extremely fast fourth-level soldiers in uniforms, who happened to be active nearby, and Yu Jin in the distance could provide fire support, Ma Xiaoling, the current number one expert in the town, would almost have to give it for nothing.

There are actually not many similar situations.

There were also many teams who made major mistakes that caused the entire team to be wiped out, and the Ruin Beast successfully climbed to the top of the city, so that the low-strength reserve team had to pay a heavy price to launch a counterattack, and it was very difficult to regain their position.

These are experiences and lessons, which will be firmly remembered.

He doesn't care much about money.

That's because he knows that money is something that he doesn't bring with him when he lives or dies.

But experience and lessons can be "reborn" along with his memory.

He made a lot of preparations in advance, and the results he achieved on the first day shocked the world, but as a perfectionist, he was still dissatisfied with himself and still felt that there were many details that could be improved.

Next time, Ren Zhong will come off the stage in person, and make targeted fine-tuning for each shining point and unexpected point.

He also carefully checked the death records of three people with a total number of about 230.

If death is accidental, correct the accident.

If the death is due to lack of strength, adjust the position and replace the top person to further optimize the distribution of combat power.

He also observed some of the personnel he was optimistic about. If the growth of these personnel failed to meet the standard in this battle, or if the direction of focusing on training deviated, he would adjust his training ideas a few days in advance.

For example, one of the six semi-professional captains who were originally affiliated to Lin Wang and then took refuge in him was a balanced mech fighter before. The replacement part was sent, and the man simply picked up the defensive heavy armor of the fallen comrade next to him to resist it.

Unexpectedly, when he changed equipment, he suddenly realized that he had been going the wrong way before.

Relying on his extremely fast reaction speed and calm mind, with the help of a small number of comrades in arms at a mere second-level level, he held a shield and withstood the pounces of three third-level ruin beasts, and turned into a city leader. Wall, he insisted on holding on for a full 2 ​​minutes until the reinforcements arrived.

So, what if we train this person in the direction of heavy defensive fighters early next time?

Many of the above details will be remembered by Ren Zhong and will be improved next time.

He will incarnate as a humanoid intelligent AI commander, exercising refined overall control.

Ren Zhong is now getting better and better at stealing things from the cracks of time.

This detail improvement direction is one of the "wealth" he is pursuing this time.

So busy until 57:[-] in the morning, when the hypnosis time was about to end, Ren Zhong finally remembered all the important details of yesterday.

On the 120th day, at six in the morning, Ren Zhong suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't rush to get up to wash up, but had a simple exchange with Zheng Tian who also just woke up.

He blocked Zheng Tian's plan to form a second death squad around Jiang Kai and Shi Xuan to carry out the beheading operation.

"Yesterday's beheading operation failed not because of lack of strength, but because the Mengdu Group did not follow the rules. This is not a fair confrontation. When we only deal with ordinary market beasts, the matter is just a confrontation between humans and market beasts, which seems fair. But When we execute the decapitation operation, we have to face the unconventional defensive force deployed by the Mengdu Group for the legion beasts. The Mengdu Group knows the situation in the town well, and must have targeted arrangements. Even if all the four-level and above Professionals form an elite squad and come out in full force, and it is impossible to overwhelm the upper limit of the legion beast's defensive strength."

Zheng Tian suddenly realized, and was shocked into a cold sweat, "Understood, thank you Brother Ren for reminding me, I almost made a big mistake. Sigh, I heard you tell me about the radiation range of Legion Beast before, and I know it must not be far away , I always wanted to use this breakthrough point, I was thinking too much. If I had known yesterday..."

Ren Zhong shook his head again and said, "Yesterday, there was nothing wrong with your first test. If you don't try, you won't know what's wrong. If you try more, you will always find a solution."

"It's a pity that after yesterday's battle, our reserve ammunition was consumed a lot, and the scavengers were exhausted physically and mentally, and they were somewhat injured. I'm afraid..."

"Fear is human, but it's meaningless when it doesn't improve the hope of solving a problem."

Zheng Tian: "I understand."

"Well, let's go."

Hanging up the communication with Zheng Tian, ​​Ren Zhong chatted with Ma Dafu for a while, mainly about the family members of the dead.

There is some compassion in Ma Dafu's words, but the burden is not much better.

He's just acting calm, but in fact, he feels more deeply than anyone else.

This large-scale beast siege was the first time for many barren people, but it was also the first time for Ren Zhong to see a real war with his own eyes.

Unlike the Yuanxing people who grew up in the era of cannibalism, Ren Zhong's heart still lives in a soul from the peaceful age of the 21st century.

He has seen wars in many film and television works, and he has also seriously pondered some disaster histories at the turn of the century. He once thought that he was a good substitute, could appreciate the cruelty of war, and be able to treat those involved in disasters. Empathize with the fate of civilians.
