CHAPTER 459: CHAPTER 225: RAPID RESPONSE 2

Chen Jian asked again.

"Not sure, I’ll have them go full speed."

"Have you considered deploying bombers for high-altitude reconnaissance?"

"Not considered!"

Chen Jian decisively refused, then said:

"I’ll also send out long-endurance drones, first to the Han Shui, then resupply and continue flying towards Mountain City."

"You arrange along the route for resupply. If all goes well, in 10 hours, we can also reach the skies above Mountain City."

"Understood!"

He Shuo replied briefly, and then the communication was cut off.

After a brief silence, Chen Jian ordered Fu Xi:

"Open the main channel gate, but do not lift the air raid warning."

"Be prepared for evacuation and resume normal work and life."

"Received."

Fu Xi’s voice fell, and the gate of Base 011 slowly opened.

At the moment the door opened, Ji Xing was the first to rush out.

"Are you okay?"

She quickly darted to stand in front of Chen Jian.

Chen Jian waved his hand, answering:

"I’m fine."

"The enemy’s target is very clear, aimed directly at the nuclear missiles."

"It seems the missiles pose a significant threat to them... We must quickly produce a second missile!"

"... Understood."

Ji Xing exhaled a long breath, seemingly wanting to say more but eventually remained silent.

She glanced at Chen Jian, then said:

"I’m going to organize the evacuation of residents from Base 011."

"Go ahead."

Chen Jian didn’t turn his head.

His gaze was fixated on the west where Mountain City is located.

What exactly is there??

.....

Meanwhile, inside the gate of Base 011.

Yu Qian, trembling slightly, dragged himself to the gate, the darkness outside seeping in like flowing water, eroding the light behind him, causing an inexplicable panic.

No one around him dared to take a step into the darkness, everyone hesitated and faltered.

Voices of chatter rose up behind him.

"What is that... divine punishment?"

"It’s divine punishment... but it seems more severe than the one drawn by the Huaxia Army in Jinling City before."

"Yes, I saw the explosion...."

"But if it’s divine punishment... why are we still alive?"

"Are you out of your mind?! The Huaxia Army never believed in gods!"

"I know, I know... but didn’t you hear? That kind of attack came from Mountain City..."

"Mountain City... that’s the residence of the Holy Trinity..."

"I don’t know, don’t ask me!"

"So what do we do now? Are we going out?"

"The captain told us to go out, they said the crisis is over?"

"I don’t believe it..."

"So what do you want to do? Just wait here?"

"Let’s wait..."

...

The noisy voices made Yu Qian somewhat anxious, he turned back to glare at the crowd discussing, and the voices immediately quieted down.

But even so, Yu Qian himself was unsure.

He tentatively took a step outside, trying to follow the steps of the departing regular Huaxia Army.

But as soon as his foot stepped into the darkness, he recoiled as if electrocuted.

He had to admit, he was afraid.

Is that kind of terrifying power really of this world?

Yu Qian took a deep breath, the scenes of his battles flashing in his mind, along with the words the captain had told him.

He wanted to muster his courage once again.

But just then, a clear voice came from the door.

"Everyone leave Base 011 and return to the residential area!"

"The air raid warning is temporarily not lifted, be prepared for emergency evacuation!"

"From today on, the gate of Base 011 will no longer be closed."

"If there is an emergency, everyone immediately evacuate to the base!"

As the voice fell, the crowd immediately stirred.

Yu Qian’s foot that had retracted also stepped out again.

The sky hasn’t collapsed!

With determination, he walked into the darkness ahead, and with his steps, lights gradually lit up.

Lighting restrictions were lifted, and by the time he finally stepped to the perimeter of Base 011, everything around was brightly illuminated as usual.

As if, what happened just now, was just a small interlude?

Or maybe it should be said that for this team, nothing can ultimately shake their confidence?

Yu Qian walked towards the woman giving orders at the forefront, and upon approaching, asked:

"Captain, do you need me to do anything?"

Upon hearing his voice, Ji Xing turned her head in slight surprise, then asked in return:

"Wounded?"

"Yes, but I’m basically recovered."

"I’m now the commander of the Volunteer Company, if needed, I can organize the Volunteer Company to assist in maintaining order."

"Good."

It was then that Ji Xing saw Yu Qian’s face clearly.

"I know you, Yu Qian."

"Gather all the members of the Volunteer Company and assemble at the main channel gate."

"The first wave of air raids is over, but we can’t be sure if there will be a second or third wave."

"We need to quickly build shelters and camouflage to minimize air raid damage."

"Additionally, all factories and residential buildings need fortification and fire prevention measures."

"These things must be completed by tomorrow morning, and we need to move fast!"

"Understood!"

Yu Qian stood at attention and saluted Ji Xing, who nodded in return, then shouted again:

"Jin Zan!"

"Where is Jin Zan?"

"Report to me here!"

...

This missile attack seemed to have had zero effect on Base 011, but in fact, it had changed many things.

The entire base entered a state of maximum mobilization right after the attack ended, numerous air defense measures were formulated and swiftly implemented.

Spending throughout the night, Base 011 established a relatively basic air defense system, and the chaos brought by the air raid was gradually subdued under strong suppression and guidance.

By sunrise, normal order at the base was restored.

But at this time, everyone knew that a sword was already hanging over this base.

In the combat command room.

Chen Jian stared intently at the screen showing the latest Beast Tide dynamics, after a long silence, he finally said:

"No need to wait for images from the long-endurance drones."

"The formation of the Beast Tide shows signs of disorganization, which indicates the connection between the Beast Tide and Mountain City has been cut."

"Or at least the connection between the Beast Tide’s commander and Mountain City has been cut."

"This is our chance."

"We must seize this opportunity, change the original defensive strategy, take an offensive approach, and use the valuable vacuum period created by the nuclear strike to completely disperse the Beast Tide in the southwest direction!"

"As long as we eliminate the majority of the Beast Tide’s active forces, even if the opponent reorganizes later, they won’t be able to threaten us anymore."

"This will be the battle to end the Beast Tide completely."

"Apart from leaving necessary defense forces and the Volunteer Company to support Jinling City, we must mobilize all armed forces available."

"No need to consider equipment reserves any longer."

"Shells, bullets, explosives... whatever there is, use it all!"

"This time, we must exhaust all our resources."

"Since we’re already at the table, we must dare to go all-in."

"Hence, I am determined to lead the Penetration Company and the Assault Company to advance southwest to engage the Beast Tide."

"Now, let’s vote!"

As Chen Jian’s words fell, everyone in the combat command room immediately raised their hands.

Unanimously approved.

Chen Jian stood up, intending to say something more.

But at that moment, Ji Xing, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke:

"Captain, I think we should wait for two more hours."

"Our drones are still three hours flying distance from Mountain City, but the Holy Blood Team led by Lin Yu is already quite close."

"We can give them a chance."

"If we can receive their feedback information... we’ll be more assured."

"How far is Lin Yu from Mountain City?"

Chen Jian immediately asked.

"42 kilometers."

"They will get as close as 10 kilometers for reconnaissance, which is the farthest they can go."

"One hour, at most one hour, they’ll be there."

"Understood."

Chen Jian slowly nodded.

"Then let’s wait for them for one hour."

"Within this hour, we need to organize all forces thoroughly."

"Once we get confirmed information, we’ll set out immediately!"

"Understood!"
