Chapter 601: Chapter 600 Urgent Situation
“Company commander, do we really have to do this?”
“Yes, commander, don’t act rashly.”
The company commander responsible for this mission was a tall man with a scar on his face. He looked at the ordinary people separated by the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros, “Before receiving orders from my superiors, I have the responsibility to make my own judgnt of the situation. I will take full responsibility for everything after this matter is over.”
He turned to the soldiers beside him, “Give the orders.”
Grinding his teeth, the man said, “Rest assured, commander, we’ll shoulder it together.”
After speaking, he pulled out the walkie-talkie, “Attention everyone, use the Rock Barrier to block the exit. After that, the Stone-armored Giant Rhinoceros will stand by on the spot. Soldiers will engage in close combat by class, and kill the infected.”
Sizzle~
“First squad understands.”
“Second squad understands.”
…
“Seventh squad understands.”
Boom boom boom!
Huge Rock Barriers rose from the ground, and many of the people squeezed at the exit were blown away by the violent elental fluctuations, with screams echoing through the venue.
After a brief silence, the crowd looked at the giant rock walls behind the dust and their spirits instantly collapsed.
“Murderers, you are murderers!”
“Didn’t you keep saying you’d protect us? Even if I die, I’ll take you down with !”
“Let’s charge together, kill them!”
Watching the emotionally charged crowd, the company commander took a deep breath, drew his bayonet, and strode toward the middle of the crowd.
“Commander!”
The company commander paused, then said without turning back, “Brothers, charge with . If we kill one, we’ve done our job; kill two, we’ve made a profit. Even if we die at the hands of the people, we won’t be at a loss.”
The other soldiers looked at each other, similarly drawing their bayonets.
“Blood remains forever, so we may shape our country’s borders.”
“Brothers, charge!”
Moving by squads, hundreds of soldiers ard with daggers charged into the crowd of tens of thousands and were quickly dispersed by the surging waves of people, without making the slightest ripple.
“Vine Strangulation!”
“Beep—”
The Sleepy Orchid waved its little hand, and several vines burst from the ground, binding an infected person. He struggled with a grimace, disgusting saliva dripping from his clean teeth.
Swish!
A flash of knife light passed by, the petite dagger penetrated the infected’s major artery, and the sharp blade circled his neck. Blood spouted from his neck like a fountain.
As the infected fell to the ground, Xiang Nan’s figure slowly erged. His body was enveloped in black smoke, and his pale, tragic eyes calmly viewed the chaotic crowd, “Continue.”
“Alright!” Hu Shiwu grinned widely and nodded, “Lanlan, another Vine Strangulation!”
“Beep!”
After a brief chaos, the Combat Training Masters and contestants within the central venue began to organize a counterattack spontaneously.
They believed that the officials would certainly not ignore them.
The Listening Pavilion.
A few elders surrounded the round table at the center of the hall; they wore serious faces without speaking, waiting for the temporary operations departnt to report.
At that mont, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a staff mber hurried over: “Mr. Wu, this is the latest intelligence from the temporary operations departnt. Those foreign students are suspected to be a decoy, their real target is the gathering places of personnel.”
The individuals quickly took the docunt, and before they could finish reading, another staff mber rushed into the eting room: “Mr. Wu, the White Eagles, the European Union, Fusang, and Goryeo are pressuring our Foreign Affairs Office, demanding the release of their competing students, otherwise, they wouldn’t mind starting a war.”
“Hm, I see,” Wu Tianyan casually pushed the docunt aside and continued to read the report from the temporary operations departnt.
An elderly woman with the surna Tang looked at the order issued by Sun Bojian on the docunt, with a touch of appreciation on her face: “Little Sun has made a lot of progress in the past two years. After several more years of experience, he’ll be capable of bearing great responsibility.”
“Hmph,” the long-faced elder snorted lightly: “If it weren’t for certain people acting willfully and agreeing to let those foreigners participate in the National Cup, how could so many problems have arisen.”
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the eting room beca sowhat subtle.
Wu Tianyan did not speak because he did indeed have an inescapable responsibility for this matter.
“Old Qi,” the elderly woman with the surna Tang gave the long-faced elder a glance: “Now is not the ti for mutual recriminations. The most urgent issue at hand is the threat posed by the infected.”
The military-uniford elder nodded repeatedly: “Sister Tang is right.”
Wu Tianyan took a deep breath: “If we go by the intelligence from the temporary operations departnt, there seems to be a force within Daxia colluding with the Holy Origin Society, covering for their actions. However, apart from the central venue and those foreigners, I believe there shouldn’t be many infected in the imperial city, which ans our current situation is not extrely urgent…”
Thud, thud.
The quiet elderly man beside the long-faced elder suddenly tapped on the table, interrupting Wu Tianyan, and when everyone’s gaze turned to him, this elder scanned the room and began to speak, “I wonder if you all rember the incident a few days ago that shook half of the imperial city?”
The military-uniford elder frowned: “Old Zhou, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? We’re discussing the matter of the infected right now, aren’t we?”
“It seems you haven’t paid too much attention,” Old Zhou sighed and said, “Although it was a minor incident, I looked closely at the report afterwards. It started with two competitors from the White Eagles beating up citizens of Daxia on the street.”
After hearing him, everyone looked at each other. The elderly woman with the surna Tang straightened her back and said, “Are you saying, there might have been people infected at least several days ago?”
Old Qi frowned slightly: “Even so, in just a few days ti, it wouldn’t have had much of an impact, right?”
Old Zhou shook his head, his expression sowhat helpless: “What if I told you that during that ti, there were more than one instance of foreign personnel initiating fights and provocations?”
Now the expressions on everyone’s faces changed, and the military-uniford elder stood up abruptly: “Old Zhou, why didn’t you ntion this earlier!”
“How could I have ntioned it?” Old Zhou’s face showed so displeasure: “I thought it was just a normal fight. If it weren’t for the appearance of the infected, would you have listened to a discussion about this in the Listening Pavilion?”
“I…” The military-uniford elder opened his mouth, feeling he had no argunt, and turned to look at Wu Tianyan: “Mr. Wu, what do you think…”
Bang!
Suddenly, the eting room’s wooden door was flung open.
“Mr. Wu, a riot has erupted at the central venue. The infected have seized the opportunity to attack, and Professor Chen Yixin’s research team is trapped. Battalion Commander Zhou Feng from the Thundering Armored Army has ordered the sealing of all exits, and all warriors are engaged in combat with the infected… the situation is… extrely urgent!”
Wu Tianyan’s hand trembled, and he pursed his lips tightly.
No one urged him this ti, because they knew that in such a situation, haste could lead to disastrously wrong steps.
The eting room was enveloped in silence, as if ti itself had frozen.
After a mont, Wu Tianyan seed to have made up his mind; he stood up from his seat and looked at the few elders.
“I have decided to order the evacuation of all citizens from the urban area.”
