"Defend the line of defense! Hang in there! "
The beach was filled with the roar of rockets and the roar of soldiers. The corpses of Mud Crabs were everywhere and curled into charred briquettes on the beach. However, mutants were born without fear. The death of their companions did not make them retreat, but it aroused their fierceness.
Several times, the Mud Crabs penetrated the NAC's line of defense. The soldiers in kinetic skeletons had to engage in close combat with these mutants and use their flesh and blood to resist the steel torrent of mutants. They waited for Fireball-1 to cover the battlefield and eliminate the Mud Crabs that broke through the line of defense before they repositioned the stakes.
After a day of fierce fighting, when dusk fell, the offensive of the Mud Crabs finally slowed down. Perhaps because the Mud Crabs that ended their hibernation were cleared, the remaining Mud Crabs chose to temporarily lurk in the water, waiting for more of their companions to wake up from hibernation before launching an attack on the line of defense on the Desperate Beach.
On this day, NAC's ammunition on the beach could already be piled up into a hill.
Li Wang opened the visor of his helmet, sat down on the stool, took the nutrient supply from the logistics staff, raised his head, and gulped down two bottles. He had been fighting on the front line all day, and he hadn't drunk a single drop of water since the early hours of the morning.
At this time, the adjutant came forward and reported to him the situation on the front line.
"From the early hours of the morning until now, we have emptied 107 boxes of ammunition. The remaining ammunition is only enough for us to last for two more days."
"How is the construction of the wall?"
"There are still 10% left."
Li Wang nodded.
Very good, with this momentum, it should be completed by noon tomorrow.
Looking at the sea in the distance, the waves rolled up white foam. It was unknown whether it was the rolling tide or the white foam from the Mud Crabs that were waking up from hibernation. No one knew how much time the Mud Crabs would give them to breathe, but the soldiers still walked to the beach after drinking the nutrient supply to find some Mud Crabs' crab roe. After they returned to the front line, they started a fire and roasted it with branches.
Normally, they would definitely have two pots of wine to savor, but at this moment, they obviously didn't have this condition. After wiping off the crab roe in their hands, they picked up their rifles again and returned to the front line. They rested while waiting for a new round of attack.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Wang gathered his subordinates in the command room and made adjustments to the front line deployment.
At this moment, a person lifted the curtains of the command room and walked into the barracks.
"Marshal?!" Seeing who it was, Li Wang immediately opened his eyes wide in joy and welcomed him, "Great, you're finally back!"
After Miss Lin returned from Datun Nature Park, Li Wang had been worried about Jiang Chen's safety. If it weren't for the lack of manpower at the frontline and Jiang Chen personally ordered them not to worry, he would have sent someone to look for him.
Jiang Chen nodded to him with a smile and immediately asked about the situation at the front line.
"How's the situation at the front?"
"It was very serious. There were too many Mud Crabs, but we managed to complete 80% of the project before midnight on February 28th. By tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to complete this wall! "Li Wang said resolutely.
"Casualties?" Jiang Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Seven dead and five injured … Some of these Mud Crabs are mutants that can spray corrosive acid. The casualties are mainly caused by these mutants."
Seven dead and five injured. This loss was still within the acceptable range, and Jiang Chen was also relieved.
If it was impossible to defend, he was more inclined to temporarily evacuate from Yizhou Island and wait for the summer solstice to return to the island to complete this line of defense. Although he wanted to start the construction of the space elevator earlier, if this caused a large number of casualties in the expeditionary force, it would not be worth it.
"I will ask Wang Qin to properly arrange for the families of the soldiers who died. This line of defense is in your hands," Jiang Chen said.
"Roger!" Li Wang saluted, paused for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing I have to report to you."
"What is it?" Jiang Chen stopped his footsteps and turned around.
"Some time ago, the survivors, instigated by people with ulterior motives, went on strike and almost stopped the project completely. According to my men's investigation, those people with ulterior motives were the spies sent by Fallout Shelter 79. "
Spies?
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
[Fu * k, my people risked their lives to help you in the front and keep these things off the beach, but you guys are playing tricks in the back. You even want to attack the wall?
You must be tired of living!]
Li Wang looked at Jiang Chen and quietly waited for his orders.
"First hold this line of defense, and then send two hundred people to take over Town No. 79."
"What about those people in Fallout Shelter 79?"
Jiang Chen's eyebrows raised as a sneer appeared on his face.
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
As for those who don't surrender? Then go to hell!
After entrusting the defense line to Li Wang, Jiang Chen circled around the front line and showed his face in front of the soldiers. When they saw the General personally supervising the battle, the morale of these exhausted soldiers obviously rose to a new height. They vowed to defend the line of defense and never retreat.
For the General who unified Suhang Province, the survivors who once wandered on the wasteland and lived a hard life admired him from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of personal worship even rose to the height of faith.
After all, in this atheistic land, there weren't many things that could be used as spiritual sustenance …
Without staying on the beach for too long, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the airship Order.
When he boarded the airship, Lin Lin was standing in the cockpit of the airship, staring out the window in a daze.
It was dark. Two days had passed, but Jiang Chen still hadn't returned. Although she knew that Jiang Chen would be fine, she still couldn't help but worry if he encountered trouble on the mountain.
At this time, the sound of the door opening came from behind her. Lin Lin turned around, and the pair of red and black eyes suddenly bloomed with joy.
But very quickly, she forced herself to hide her joy and snorted twice.
"You, you're finally back?"
Wasn't the change in expression a little too stiff? If you're worried, just say it … It's not a bad thing to care about people. Is there a need to hide it?
Jiang Chen didn't say anything. He smiled and walked next to her. He magically took out a USB and handed it to her. "I don't understand the model. In short, this is the design drawing of the nuclear fusion generator in the Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant. It is compatible with three types of nuclear fuels: deuterium, tritium, and helium-3. There is also the management AI of the nuclear power facility. I'll leave the integration to you. "
"Hmph, I won't work for free —" Lin Lin took the USB from Jiang Chen's hand. She just wanted to say something, but before she could finish, Jiang Chen smiled and stuffed a box of mango pudding into her hand.
Having her thoughts seen through, Lin Lin blushed and turned her head away.
"I made you worry." Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed her little head. "Don't eat too much at night. Go to bed early."
"Mhmm."
Lin Lin responded subconsciously.
When she regained her senses, Jiang Chen had already left the command room. Looking in the direction he left, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.
After a long time, her little mouth moved slightly and two words came out.
"Idiot …"
