Resurrection Empire

Page 276

At six o'clock in the morning, the dire siren rang over the sky of Xinghuo Town.

The night watchman, who was about to take a shift to rest, stood stupidly on the high tower at the top of the city, staring dumbfounded at the wilderness ahead.

The sky, the ground, and the dense and creepy herds of beasts are overwhelming, which is even more jaw-dropping than the infinite trials in the virtual reality training.

This is not a virtual market beast simulated by data, but a real tide of man-eating beasts.

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and the city is about to be destroyed.

At this time, Ren Zhong was still in the laboratory dormitory area of ​​the Chenhui Mining Area.

He just woke up.

He knew what was going to happen today.

But he didn't return immediately.

He has his plan.

He wanted to see what the desolate people in Xinghuo Town could do on their own without him being a nanny.

As the chairman of the Ren Group, he only sent a message through his watch to every person in Xinghuo town.

"Everyone, get ready to fight. My work in the Morning Glory Mining Area is very important, and I can't escape for the time being. I will return in three days and live and die with you."

At the same time, Tanggu Group, Psychic Organization, Mengdu Group, and Business Association all captured his message.

Each of these agencies has its own views.

The evaluation of the male eighth-level Psychic who had reviewed Ren Zhong with Xiao Xingyue was very classic.

"He is such a shameless and good businessman. Even the dead are used as social experiments, which is vicious enough."

Chapter 227 The first day, the boiling spark

In a sense, this is the largest "war" that Yuanxing has broken out in the past 30 to [-] years.

The warring parties are humans and legion beasts indirectly controlled by the Mengdu Group in the name of experiments.

The war is doomed to be tragic.

Precious human lives in ordinary times will instantly become worthless in a real war.

But the opportunity for the outbreak of war was so absurd that the "bystanders" were speechless.

This is just a massacre in the name of "scientific experiment".

In the video projection brought back by the death squads who risked their lives to rush into the depths of the enemy's formation to execute the beheading operation, the moment he saw the true face of the Legion Beast, Ren Zhong already knew that both sides in the war were actually inseparable from him.

The Legion Beast controlled by the Mengdu Group is exactly his "old friend" who disappeared in the shortcut valley.

In the stage of life with heavy responsibilities, Legion Beast's glimpsed "old friend" played an extremely important role, and even played a vital weakening role before his final battle with Lin Wang.

Ren Zhong once thought that he would never deal with it again.

I never thought that after "just two months", it returned to my life in another way.

It's a pity that it is impossible to judge the level of the legion beast at this time only from the video data.

On the body of the legion beast was a pair of combat uniforms obviously made by humans.

It also wore an exquisitely crafted helmet on its head, and a huge metal circle with a diameter of about 1.5 meters was attached to the back of the helmet.

On the metal circle, halos bloom from time to time.

Ren Zhong can only tell that this thing is probably a signal amplifier, and other functions are unknown.

In other words, the beheading operation failed without any suspense.The Mengdu Group has configured a strong protective force for this rare sample.

As for humans, the relationship with Ren Zhong is even more profound.

If it weren't for him, Zheng Tian and the others might have died just after passing the evaluation of the second-level professional title.

If it weren't for him, Xinghuo Town would have been razed to the ground nearly a month ago, and the barren people in Xinghuo Town had already joined the Mengdu Group.

If it weren't for him, the barren people in Liaoyuan County would probably still be able to continue to live in their respective dungeons seemingly peacefully, and die unexpectedly someday in the future.

If it wasn't for him, Ma Dafu, Ma Xiaoling, Yu Jin...

In short, if it wasn't for him, the fate of everyone here would be different.

I want to give a lot to others.

But at present, in a sense, what he brings to the people here is only short-lived pleasure and illusory expectations.

The essence of the story that belongs to Ren Zhong is still a tragedy.

What's even more absurd is that he could go back at any time, but he lied, saying that his work in the Chenhui mining area was very important and he couldn't get away.

Except for the Ma family's father and daughter who slightly questioned his bewildering behavior, including Ju Qingmeng, Zheng Tian, ​​Yu Jin, who stayed behind spontaneously, and even all the other barren people, there were few objections.

Is there a so-called "job" in the world that is more important than nearly 18 human lives?

Ren Zhong himself would not believe such a nonsense lie.

But most of those 18 lives thought it was logical!

Ren Zhong felt incredible.

Later he found out why.

Given his good reputation in the past, the deserters believed in his promise of "returning in three days" from the very beginning.

No one doubted that Ren Zhong would break his promise.

The reason is very simple. The Mengdu Group requested that there should be no further investment in Xinghuo Town. Zijing Mining's logistics centers were all shut down, but none of his projects were stopped.

During these days, a residential complex large enough to accommodate 20 people is fully completed.

Three large training grounds were newly built.

A new type of integrated centralized sleeping cabin.

Larger passenger shuttle system.

In addition, he also prepared sufficient medical and military supplies in advance.

No one would struggle with that much money.

All signs indicated that he was determined to save Xinghuo Town.

Ever since, most people have quickly made things up in another direction.

Mr. Ren is researching the ultimate solution to the problem in the Chenhui Mining Area.

Three days later, he will complete the project and return with a deadly weapon that can turn the world around, and the gods will descend to save Xinghuozhen from danger, just as he did when he killed the cold-blooded butcher with his own hands.

The reason why he didn't say this in the announcement was because the Mengdu Group had to hide this matter from the public.

But he must have arrangements, we just need to do our own thing.

The desolate people were actually encouraged by his lies.

……

The battle was fierce from the first moment it started.

Ruin beasts attack the city fiercely and are not afraid of death.

On the human side, although the incident happened in a hurry and many people had just woken up, thanks to the order of Ma Xiaoling, the captain of the guard who forcibly stayed in the town against his father's order, the guard greatly improved the operation of the night watchman system two days in advance efficiency.

Ordinary night watchmen are only a few hundred people, but there are as many as 2000 night watchmen on duty this morning.

When the beast horde appeared, there were about 800 people guarding the city wall, and another 200 people were getting ready to leave work.

After the alarm sounded, the 800 night watchmen immediately rushed to the top of the city to support their comrades-in-arms, just in time to respond to the precarious line of defense formed by the [-] people on the top of the city and the automatic weapons installed on the city wall.

Of course, the pressure is still great.

There are too many Ruin Beasts, some attacking the city walls and gates on the ground, some pounce on the night watchman in mid-air, and some wait for orders from a distance to focus their fire on long-distance attacks.

Fortunately, almost every household in the town now has a gun. Starting five minutes later, more and more scavengers spontaneously entered the battlefield.

After Ma Xiaoling, who had just woken up, arrived at the front line in the air, and fully demonstrated the level of a top-level fifth-level mecha fighter. After killing three in and three out of the beast horde formation, the situation stabilized for the time being.

At the same time, Zheng Tian, ​​who had just woken up, also followed Ren Zhong's arrangements in advance, and stood up immediately to take over the command task.

This is Zheng Tian's first time commanding a large army battle.

She has never received relevant training before, at most she has only seen similar bridges in film and television works.

But under Ren Zhong's encouragement, she was very calm and confident.

She immediately dispatched troops and used the company's information database to guide and integrate the relatively elite team of scavengers according to the most appropriate defense points of the city wall.

After hunting side by side for a long time, these people have developed a good tacit understanding, and forming an integrated team has the effect of one plus one greater than two.

When these team members moved their positions while shooting according to the order, and arrived at the reserved garrison point, they found that the people they replaced were the scarred night watchmen who withstood the impact of the first wave of beasts.

Zheng Tian opened the battlefield command system that Ren Zhong asked someone to program.

The massive data collected by the various cameras on the city walls, the cameras on the gunner's tactical glasses, and the comprehensive battlefield detectors of the mech warriors were integrated by the server and quickly appeared in the intelligence database of the battlefield command system.

Zheng Tian and Chen Hanyu, the staff officer, immediately analyzed that in the beast tide dominated by low-end ruin beasts of the first and second ranks, there was an elite team of ruin beasts led by the fifth-rank ruin beasts quietly mixing on the ground and trying to get close to the city wall.

"Captain Ma! The 11th node of the third section of the east gate needs support!"

With a flick of her finger, Zheng Tian sent the video information and coordinate information of the group of suspicious beasts to Ma Xiaoling synchronously.

Ma Xiaoling, who had just retreated to take a breath, raised his gun again and flew into the air.

Afterwards, Zheng Tian marked several areas that needed to be defended, and then according to the type of beasts to attack the ruins, accurately distributed the combat missions to the elite teams led by four-level professionals including Jiang Kai, Chen Meng, Yang Yi, and Bai Feng. hand.

At the same time, the elite hunting group of 500 people who received professional training has been reorganized.

Zheng Tian put it on the battlefield for the first time.

This group of people rushed out from the north gate of the small town suddenly, and plunged into the enemy's formation nearly 600 meters with a destructive momentum. A round of crazily output, leaving the corpses of beasts all over the ground, and then quickly retreated to the town at the speed of ebb.

This wave of raids by the elite group killed only one-third of the "artillery position" composed of nearly two hundred long-range beasts, and all of them were injured.

The pressure on the builders and construction machinery who risked their lives to repair the city wall was greatly reduced.

Zheng Tian was very busy here, but another good news came from the other side.

There was a fifth-level market beast that she didn't notice falling from the sky.

This fifth-level ruin beast seemed to be weird. It was small in size when it flew halfway, and suddenly enlarged in size when it approached the city wall.

But Yu Jin, who had already noticed this change from afar, led a heavy sniper team composed of nearly [-] young gunsmiths who had not yet participated in the professional title assessment, and shot this mighty fifth-level ruin beast in one round. half empty.

This shot was guided by the modified manticore used by Yu Jinyue. Within 0.1 seconds, nearly two hundred special piercing explosive bullets ranging from level one to level three accurately hit the spot on the neck of the beast. At the weak point, he successfully broke through the defense, and directly blew up his head, falling behind the city wall.

Sun Miao, who walked out of the laboratory, sits in the township hospital. Except for severe irreparable disabilities, no matter what degree of wounded, they can receive timely treatment as long as they are sent.

There is no need for human stretchers to carry the wounded. The passenger shuttle bus of the transportation subsidiary of Ren's Group turns into an ambulance and rushes back and forth quickly.

On the other side, Ju Qingmeng sits in the arms mall, leading skilled barbarians to quickly repair damaged equipment, while rationally deploying ammunition and armament resources.

Madafu sits in the town government and is responsible for registering the wounded and dead, orderly distributing pensions, and coordinating the deployment of engineering materials in the town.

Fierce fighting flames burned outside the city walls for a whole day.

The huge amount of investment that took a lot of time, effort, and money finally bloomed on this day to attract people's attention.

Ren Zhong sees all of this.

The citizens on Yuanxing also saw it clearly through Yuanxing Satellite TV's high-definition camera satellites hovering in the sky, each with their own thoughts and shocks.

Before I knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, part of the city wall has become dilapidated and crumbling in the process of repeated damage and repair.

The animal carcasses outside the city were piled up like a mountain.

Beasts that were shot to death by guns, bombed by rockets, or bombed by throwing bombs were all over the place.

However, the intensity of the siege beast tide did not decrease, but became more violent.

On the pile of corpses of the beasts, there are countless beasts stepping on the corpses of their companions and rushing forward, or getting into the pile of corpses and devouring the bodies of their companions to evolve in battle.

In addition, market beasts began to try to penetrate the ground one after another.

Fortunately, Zheng Tian had already made arrangements.
