Chapter 210
Words:1923Update:22/06/27 04:05:47
This was not the first time Lin Xinran and the others had felt this way.
The horror of the apocalypse was torturing everyone all the time.
Every time you think you are well prepared, reality will give you another slap in the face.
In the plan, this first line of defense would last for at least half a month.
But now.
They felt that it would be difficult for them to last even a week.
They were powerless. They were really powerless.
Ordinary soldiers could still have confidence, but they knew very well that in the current situation, they had no other choice but to wait for the support of the Pan-Humanist Guardians. Because they had already tried everything and done everything they could.
"Go and make more detailed arrangements and see what else can be done." Gu Qishui finally said, "Not to defeat the enemy, but to seize hope."
"Okay." The others nodded.
The hope to seize came from the Pan-Humanist Guardians.
It was written clearly in the special plan.
They had to do what they could, and the Pan-Humanist Guardians would judge the strength of the support based on what they did.
This was probably the only hope now.
However, this cruel reality was only visible to them at this moment. The soldiers were not clear about it.
They were fighting with the gradually decreasing number of exotic beasts while cleaning the battlefield. At the same time, they took turns to eat and rest to quickly recover their strength.
And just as Lin Xinran and the others had guessed.
The battle on the second day was much less intense than the battle on the first day.
Lin Yiran even went back and forth to more than a dozen war zones alone. She was not as crazy as yesterday. She just kept shuttling between exotic beasts.
The clothes transformed from the Cold Moon Clothes were not stained with blood. It protected her whole body and made her feel refreshed. It was as if she was strolling in the courtyard, but she could easily kill exotic beasts.
This scene was recorded by the propaganda department and boldly broadcasted to the world.
Lin Yiran's popularity was pushed to the peak.
Valkyrie, Goddess of War, Sword Fairy, and other praises were given to her by people.
The Asura demon from yesterday only remained in the hearts of a few people.
However –
Whether it was in the face of awe or praise, Lin Yiran had an indifferent expression and did not care at all.
She remembered Shen Yi's words.
Only care about what needs to be cared about.
Everything, on the surface, seemed to be developing in a good direction.
But only two days later.
Even ordinary soldiers could sense that something was wrong.
On the surface of the sea, black dots appeared one after another. They were getting denser and denser. They knew what those were.
Although there weren't many exotic beasts charging towards the defensive line on the shore, the number of exotic beast corpses floating on the surface of the sea was dwindling.
And the speed at which they were disappearing was getting faster and faster.
Some skeletal remains were even washed up on the shore.
No one knew exactly how many beasts there were at the bottom of the sea.
But on the third day, more and more exotic beasts emerged from the surface of the sea, their roars echoing throughout the sky.
Every soldier, every superhuman, and even all the people who were paying attention to the situation at the defense line realized it.
It was almost here.
The second wave of Beast Tide!
And just as everyone thought, it was only the morning of the fifth day.
Under the morning sun.
In the sea along the coast, a large number of black dots had gathered.
All of them were exotic beasts! All of them!
"Heavens …"
"This is at least two or three times more than the first day."
"Not only that, we don't know how many there are at the bottom of the sea!"
"How is this possible?!"
“.....”
At this moment, countless soldiers truly felt the horror that Lin Xinran and the others felt a few days ago.
It was as if the exotic beasts of the past four or five days had all piled up together.
They were waiting for this moment to charge!
They couldn't hold on.
They didn't even need to fight. Some soldiers knew that they couldn't hold on at all.
The gap was too big.
They had a hard time fighting the number of beasts on the first day, let alone now!
But even so.
There was only a commotion, but there was no chaos.
Because every soldier who came here wasn't a recruit.
They knew very well.
Behind them were their families and all of humanity.
There was no way out. Even if they were all wiped out here, they had no way out.
"May God bless us," a soldier from Xi He kept praying.
"Instead of praying to God, you might as well pray to the Pan-Humanist Guardians." A voice suddenly came from the communication channel. "If God is really useful, he wouldn't have let these terrifying monsters appear. And the Pan-Humanist Guardians have always been helping us."
The soldier who prayed was completely silent.
Before he became a soldier, he was a devout believer.
However, after the exotic beasts appeared.
His faith was about to collapse.
Even if God really existed, God was on the side of the exotic beasts.
That terrifying number, that terrifying speed, and that ability.
And humans didn't receive even the slightest gift. It was as if they had been completely abandoned by God.
All hope was brought by the Pan-Humanist Guardians, an association from another world, created by the human race, whose mission was to protect the survival of humanity!
And at this moment, all kinds of voices sounded in the combat channel.
"That's right, God is long dead."
"Guys, cheer up. The Pan-Humanist Guardians won't abandon us."
"The association is our commander!"
"If there are more of those cool fighter jets, there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Wait for the command. Get ready for battle. Victory will belong to humanity!"
“.....”
At this point in the war, death and despair could no longer crush them easily.
They kept encouraging themselves.
They kept holding on to hope.
Even if they weren't sure whether this hope would come. But fighting with hope, even if they died in battle, was much better than fighting with despair.
Some soldiers even turned on their communicators and stared closely at the orders from the command headquarters.
Finally —
The order came.
"Check your weapons and get ready for battle. In half an hour, your team will charge along the flank."
It was obviously an order to charge, but it caused a wave of cheers.
"Great, it's a charge!"
"We have hope to win."
"I wonder how many fighter jets will come here."
"We need at least a few hundred to hold on."
“.....”
No one thought that the Pan-Humanist Guardians would order them to fight a battle that they couldn't win.
After all, this was not the last line of defense.
If there was really no hope of winning, then they would receive the order to retreat and conserve their strength.
