Fifty-nine days after the funeral of the prophet, Lyon.
Zay Wangchuk and his team were stationed on the secondary defense line near the National City Hall of Lyon. At this time, Zay was already a captain and belonged to the Thirteenth Dragoon Regiment of the Gallic Tier 1 Army (
13 RDP).
The promotion of two levels in two months was not only due to Zay Wangchuck's outstanding performance in the Madagascar campaign, but also because he had awakened and was now a superhuman.
Can Opener survived in the end, just as they initially expected. The cybernetic soldiers were the only fire support they could rely on. The resources on the Baron's body not only restored Can Opener's combat effectiveness, but also saved Zay.
.Wangchuk took his own life.
Unfortunately, excessive use of time-sensitive hormone eventually caused the can opener to be replaced with a new neurological trauma called time hypersensitivity. As if to punish the time-sensitive hormone user for constantly entering the high-speed time stream, patients with time sensitivity

Zay Wangchuck visited the can opener once. They only said two words. The can opener was like a specimen frozen in amber. The pause button was suddenly pressed. That scene made Zay sleepless all night.
sleep.
The ability he awakened belongs to the Red Warrior type. There is currently no definite evidence that his ability comes from gluttony, but Zai does have the human body's self-repair ability that is slightly stronger than the original treatment injection, and has almost three times the physical strength and strength of ordinary people.
, neural response speed.
For Zay Wangchuck, his days in the 13th Dragoon Regiment are no different. He is now responsible for a node in the secondary defense circle, protecting the Special Operations Command (COS) located behind the National Municipality of Lyon.

The Paris District is a thing of the past. Players regard the wall as nothing. They broke the previous agreement before the Madagascar campaign was completely over. Within a few hours, they spread everywhere, like cancer cells.

Zay Wangchuck had already seen how crazy the players were in Madagascar, but he only realized now that players on the battlefield and players hidden in the city are completely different concepts.
As the second largest city in Gaul, Lyon shoulders the responsibility of being the digitalization and scientific research center of Gaul, but it only took players two months to turn it into a new 'special zone'.
A conservative estimate is that among Lyon's population of 700,000, there are between 700 and 1,200 players. No one knows how to distinguish them from the crowd. These players seldom come and go through regular transportation, but go directly to the dimension.
Door.
An average of 950 bombings occur here every day, twice the number of missing persons, and an unknown number of homicides. The law enforcement system has completely collapsed for seventeen days. The Lyon branch of the ECS Bureau tried to rebuild the law enforcement system. As a result, they
He is also a key target for players.
Before the arrival of the 13th Dragoon Regiment, the Lyon branch of the ECS Bureau was captured by the player's battle group in just two hours. The superhuman agents who were in the branch at the time were either sacrificed on the spot, or were kidnapped and taken away by the player, and died.
There is no difference.
The defense node where Zay Wangchuck is located includes two semi-permanent bunkers that were built just two days ago, five interception lines, a reinforced five-story apartment building, and concealed anti-aircraft firepower on its rooftop.
Inside the apartment building there are communications rooms, ammunition depots, drone operation centers, dormitories, and even a sizable entertainment center.
The underground parking lot was transformed into part of the underground transportation network. Geotechnical engineers supported by the Ark organization spent two weeks perfecting the underground transportation network under the nine defense circles in Lyon, so that military forces could support each other.
But Zay Wangchuk still responded with a pessimistic attitude. The entire company, one hundred and twenty soldiers, had been stationed here for three days, and five people disappeared out of thin air. Neither people nor corpses were seen. It sounded like
TM horror stories.
And this is not an isolated case. On average, the Gallic military loses ten to twenty soldiers in Lyon every day. This is because no one wants to fight with the players in street fights without the players taking the initiative to attack them.
, but there are no such big soldiers.
Zay Wangchuck could only order that no one should be left alone. Even if they go to the toilet, it is best to form a team of more than three people, one of whom should remain fully armed.
"Tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from the Paris District are moving towards Flanders through the Somme River. The government of the Republic of the Netherlands has closed the border and sent helicopters to warn the refugee flow not to continue moving forward..."
"According to statistics, there are currently more than 30 groups of animated zombies numbering over 10,000 wandering in the hinterland of Northern Europe. Although the European Union military has carried out large-scale bombings in the area many times, the impact on the groups of animated zombies themselves has been limited. According to
A report provided by the federal Lost Mountain Research Center shows that the individuals who make up the group of animated corpses contain the genetic material of a super life form called Gluttony, which briefly appeared in the Toronto area of Canada..."
"The Federation Army stated that it will reduce the service life of superhumans from eighteen to sixteen years old in the new round of recruitment, in order to protect superhumans from being harmed by player organizations to a greater extent. This move has already been announced
This resulted in a large number of protests across the commonwealth..."
There was no good news at all. Zay Wangchuk scrolled through his phone boredly, feeling a little sleepy, so he drank another cup of coffee to cheer himself up.
He didn't want to sleep at all, because as soon as he fell asleep, he would dream about his time in Madagascar, occasionally interspersed with some scenes from his recruit training. Every time he woke up from his dream, Zai felt as if he had been beaten again.
Just like a battle in Madagascar, I was mentally exhausted.
"Sir, you have not rested for almost ninety hours." The orderly watched the captain drink another cup of coffee and reminded: "Perhaps your situation should be reported to the COS mental protection department."
"No, it's just a dream. It's an old problem." Zay Wangchuck shook his head. He has been in this condition for almost two months. COS's mental protection experts have conducted psychological intervention on him and finally determined that he suffers from mental illness.
Mild PTSD, I gave him two weeks of vacation.
After all, in this era, PTSD is not considered a disease at all. If you pick ten random passers-by on the street, 80% of their mental illnesses are more serious than this thing.
"The command center said they would replenish us with new recruits." The orderly helped Zay Wangchuck fill up his cup of coffee and reported: "The new recruits will arrive through the underground passage at 10:40, and we need you to greet them then."

"Recruits are coming in so quickly?" Zay was a little surprised: "I remember that the Dragoon Regiment has very high quality requirements for recruits. How many people have joined the army?"
"I don't know, but I heard that these new recruits are from the Ganges and are of very good quality." The orderly received the news much faster than Zai. He explained: "They were transferred through the relationship between the Ark organization."
"Weird things happen every year, especially this year." Zai shrugged and looked at the time. It was already 10:20, so he simply stood up and planned to go outside for a walk.
But looking at Lyon, it actually looks pretty good. Although there is a large defense node every few kilometers, at least Lyon people can still take to the streets. The northern part of Gaul has completely lost order. Players not only have
Nuclear weapons, as well as biological and chemical weapons can turn an entire city into zombies in just a few hours, and they don't hesitate to use such weapons.
At 10:30, Zai inspected the combat readiness of the bunker on the west side of the apartment building. The unmanned sentry machine gun was operating normally, but the machine gunner was hiding in the ammunition room and was lazy. He did not punish the machine gunner, but confiscated his mobile phone.
In fact, it is not to blame that these soldiers are undisciplined, because from the time they were stationed until now, although the attacks have been constant, in fact, no player has seen them.
After gradually understanding the firepower superiority of modern armies, players already know the power of bullets. In the past two months, there have only been two conflicts in the Central European Federation where players attacked human defense lines on a large scale. All players detonated nuclear bombs.
Taking advantage of the impact of the EMP impact, an attack was launched using activated corpses as cannon fodder.
Therefore, when the entire urban defense circle was first built, it was built to withstand the impact of nuclear explosions. Every soldier on duty here can feel the pressure visible to the naked eye.
There was silence in the entire fortress, and no one made a sound. Zay Wangchuk knew very well that in fact, most soldiers could not even tell the difference between players and superhumans. In their opinion, the difference between the two was not big.
.
And Zay Wangchuck happened to be a superhuman and an airborne officer. These soldiers privately nicknamed him the "animated corpse" because when they cleared out the animated corpses in a certain town, those corpses could
After being hit by a bullet, heal the wound yourself.
Zay Wangchuk can also...
"Sir, the time is almost up." The orderly gave both sides a step down in time, and Zay Wangchuk did not want to continue to pursue anyone. He knew that once the war reached this point, these soldiers would soon understand that the pressure in front of them was only
It's just an excuse for their fragile nerves. The real war has never started.
At ten thirty-nine, Zay Wangchuk arrived at the subway station that was converted from the underground parking lot of the apartment. The armored subway arrived at this station in seconds. The door opened and the robots were assigned to the materials at this defense node.
After unloading, five new recruits with large and small bags passed through the robot phalanx, stood in front of Zay Wangchuck, and stood at attention and saluted: "Replenishment soldiers No. S-102~106, under orders..."
Boom!
A dull loud noise suddenly came from the ceiling above the head and the floor under the feet. A large amount of dust poured in along every gap in the underground space. The small reform technology instrument worn by Zay Wangchuck instantly lit up.
red light!
The lights above the head went out for an instant, but then lit up again in the blink of an eye. A cold mechanical female voice in the underground base conveyed clear instructions: "A medium-sized nuclear strike has been detected. The distance from the center of the explosion here is 12.1 kilometers.
The backup power supply has been activated, please all personnel to prepare for level one combat..."
Another voice came from inside the armored subway: "The collapse of the front channel has been detected. Train No. 4 cannot go to the subsequent station. According to emergency instruction 1, Train No. 4 will temporarily stay at this station. Please clear all on-board materials."
, Emergency Order Two, all remaining supplementary troops on this train will join the nearest corresponding command unit on the spot... Currently, within five kilometers, the holder of the highest command authority, Captain Zay Wangchuck, has been detected."
As the fully enclosed armored doors were opened one after another, more than two hundred supplementary soldiers, with the same expressions as the previous five supplementary soldiers, carried their own equipment and spontaneously formed a neat formation, standing in front of Zay Wangchuk.
In front of the captain: "Replenishment soldiers No. S-107~307 are ordered to join your command sequence!"
"Am I dazzled, or do these people all look the same?" the orderly's voice trembled a little. He tried to avoid the voice on the base radio by changing the subject. Lyon was hit by a nuclear attack...
"Everyone, form a team based on squad size, waiting for me to assign personnel for actual command." Zay Wangchuk looked at these soldiers, and he didn't know why he always felt a sense of familiarity.
But now he can't help but think too much. Because of the advantages of dimensional gate capabilities, humans are currently unable to restrict players from using nuclear weapons. Although they mostly transform nuclear weapons into EMP weapons, nuclear strikes will cause damage to regional buildings, and
The blow to the morale of the human army is still terrible. He must appear in front of his soldiers as soon as possible to stabilize morale.
Although it was the first time for Zay Wangchuck to experience this kind of thing, after participating in the Madagascar battle, those who died, and the can opener who was lucky enough to survive but were worse off than dead, were like a kind of spiritual prosthetic implant.
Inserting the plug-in completely changed Zay Wangchuck's life.
There was no fear in his heart.
"Let the communication center contact the COS headquarters and wait for follow-up orders." Zay Wangchuck walked up and gave the order to the orderly: "Send the foxhound team to start laying mines one kilometer around."
"Sir, there may be a large number of civilians passing through our area..." the orderly reminded: "If we do this, we will face a military court!"
"Going to a military court or dying here, there is no difference." Zay Wangchuk shook his head. He had seen the places where players have been. Once they decide to launch a large-scale war with that goal, they will never consider civilians.
Casualties, those players can hit quickly and catch the defenders off guard: "We are not facing the hundreds of players in Lyon City. Believe me, there will be thousands of players here."
"Yes." The orderly left with some heaviness. The light behind him stretched his shadow as long as a heavy blow... The next second, he fell into his own shadow and disappeared.
Already.
Zay Wangchuk almost immediately took out his gun, turned around and smashed several emergency lights behind him, completely plunging the surroundings into darkness... The war has begun.
