Hearing this, everyone in the room changed their faces. Although Yang Zhen's tone showed a trace of uncertainty, it was tantamount to dropping a bombshell in everyone's ears.
"How did you get this news?" Zhou Tao was the first to come to his senses, took a deep breath, and said with some horror.
Although everyone had seen what a real level 4 monster looked like, Zhou Tao knew very well how terrifying a level 4 monster was. In the face of such a monster, all defensive methods would be useless.
Yang Zhen said bitterly, "Are you going as far as Xinghui City?"
"I know, it's a medium-sized city about two hundred kilometers away from Yongzhou. What's wrong?" Zhou Tao asked hesitantly.
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, since we occupied Yongzhou, we have kept in touch with Xinghui City and formed a temporary defensive alliance. For more than a year, everyone has been helping each other and the relationship is very harmonious, but in a
A week ago, the troops I sent to Xinghui City to transport supplies disappeared without any reason, and all our radio signals were also interrupted."
Zhou Tao listened very carefully and motioned for Yang Zhen to continue.
Yang Zhen was silent for a while, and then said in a low tone, "After discovering that the signal was interrupted, I immediately took people to Xinghui City to make a spread, but... I found that the entire city was empty."
"Empty?"
Zhou Tao and others looked at each other in shock, and stood up in unison and said, "What do you mean empty? What do you mean?"
Yang Zhen's face tightened, and he lowered his head and said, "Empty means that the entire city no longer exists. Except for a large number of buildings and ruins, we have not found a single living person in this city."
"Were they all killed?" Zhou Tao said in shock, hearing the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Maybe, but we haven't even found a body. There is really no way to find out what this city has experienced." Yang Zhen lowered his head helplessly and sighed.
"Xinghui City can be considered a medium-sized city after all. Although it is not as large as Yunxi City, the armed forces stationed in the city are not weak. There is even a guy with a third-level combat power stationed there, but even
In this way, all the people in this city disappeared overnight, and we didn't even receive any distress signal."
The Zhou Tao brothers looked horrified, and both were sweating profusely.
Level three combat power is indeed nothing in another world, but in the Blue Star world it is a first-class existence. Even if you encounter a monster that you can't deal with, there is always time to send a distress signal after a desperate struggle.
Right?
"so……"
After hearing the end, Liu Yunshan concluded with a livid expression, "We have every reason to suspect that the reason why Xinghui City perished so quickly was most likely due to the encounter with some kind of large-scale alien force, or perhaps a force with a combat power as high as four
Monsters above level attack."
Zhou Tao's face turned a little pale, and he nodded very solemnly and said, "So, it is very likely that the second catastrophe has been brought forward."
"Maybe!" Liu Yunshan sighed helplessly and said, "Currently, we can't come up with anything that can directly confront the fourth-level combat power. Even if we use the power of a city, it's not enough. I hurriedly summoned you in the hope of brainstorming and working together.
Come up with a more reasonable plan."
Zhao Yu suddenly said, "Now that Chen Fan is away, we can only rely on us to protect this city. I can dispatch two combat forces here. Next, I will focus on supervising the southeast corner of Yunxi City. Once any abnormality occurs,
I will tell you the situation immediately."
Liu Yunshan pondered for a moment, "How is Wang Yi's situation? Can he participate in the war?"
"Okay." Zhao Yu nodded immediately, but quickly added, "But the prerequisite for Wang Yi to participate in the war is that Xiaoya must be by his side at all times. If Xiaoya does not comfort him mentally, this guy will be killed at any time.
It's possible to go crazy."
"Understood, the southeast corner will be left to you, Zhou Tao, you will be responsible for monitoring the quarantine area, and Zhou Xu, Lin Yuan, the area you are mainly responsible for is..."
Liu Yunshan knocked on the military map on the table, used a red pen to draw several red circles on key areas, and arranged heavy troop garrison in each area.
Everyone took orders and deployed the plan to the end. Liu Yunshan said to Yang Zhen again, "Yongzhou where you are located is closest to the accident site and is also the place most likely to be attacked by monsters. You and Sun Mu alone can hold it."
?”
Yang Zhen stood up and smiled bitterly, "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it. Please rest assured, chief, no matter what happens, I will notify you as soon as possible..."
Yang Zhen was mid-sentence when suddenly, a harsh phone ringing sounded on his desk. Liu Yunshan waved his hand to signal Yang Zhen to stop talking. He hurriedly grabbed the red phone and whispered a few words into the phone. Everyone
I didn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, I just noticed that Liu Yunshan's face became paler and paler, and even the arm holding the microphone was shaking slightly.
"Damn it!" After ending the call, Liu Yunshan suddenly cursed, dropped the phone, and said to Yang Zhen with a heavy breath, "You don't have to return to Yongzhou, stay in Yunxi City to help with the defense!"
"What's wrong, chief?" Seeing Liu Yunshan's livid face and extremely ferocious expression, Yang Zhen was also frightened and spoke carefully.
Liu Yunshan gritted his teeth and said word by word with a green face, "The call just now was made by Sun Mu. Yongzhou was attacked, exactly the same as Xinghui City!"
"What?"
As soon as Liu Yunshan finished speaking, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Yang Zhen even beat his chest and screamed, "No, I have to go back and take a look. Sun Mu and I are responsible for Yongzhou. I must..."
"
"What must you do, come back!"
Liu Yunshan's face was livid, and he yelled at Yang Zhen's hurriedly leaving back, "Sit down! Yongzhou suffered heavy losses. The army defending the city suffered unprecedented heavy losses. Deputy Commander Wang Feng was killed on the spot, and only Sun Mu was left to lead a small group to retreat.
The soldiers are fleeing back to Yunxi City, and you, a mere commander, can't do anything if you go there!"
Yang Zhen's steps faltered and he sat on the ground blankly, his face ashen.
Seeing that Yang Zhen felt very uncomfortable, Zhou Tao had no choice but to sigh, silently walked to him, and lightly patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder, "It's okay, we can start over."
Yang Zhen's expression was numb, and he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, "It's easier said than done!"
Yang Zhen and Sun Mu had been in Yongzhou for more than a year and had put a lot of effort into that city. Suddenly they heard that their territory was gone. Anyone who replaced them would inevitably collapse.
"The problem now is not the reconstruction of Yongzhou, but the monsters have massacred two heavy cities in succession. I'm afraid it won't be long before they come straight to us. You know, Yunxi City is not Xinghui City in terms of urban construction scale and population.
Comparable to Yongzhou, this is our base camp. Once it falls, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Liu Yunshan took a deep breath, and his face became resolute. He was used to wind and rain, and this old man exuded a kind of calmness that would not change even if the mountain collapsed. "Send the order, all troops stationed in other cities."
Return to the defense immediately, fully support the base camp, and do everything possible to strengthen the city defense and gather all the freeloaders. We are likely to face a new battle for survival!"
"Yes!" Lin Yuan was immediately ordered to walk out of the office. Zhou Tao and others hurriedly followed. Liu Yunshan suddenly waved his hand, "Zhou Tao, please stay here first. I have something to say to you." (To be continued)
