Chapter 2065 Defense
Wunning City is surrounded by fifty-meter-high smooth steel city walls, like a hard eggshell, protecting everything in Wuning City to prevent mutant beasts from climbing on it. The city wall climbed into the city, causing harm to the residents.
On the top of the city, countless federal soldiers and mutant beast hunters stood behind the steel wall at the top of the city wall, staring at the wilderness outside the city through the small windows opened in the steel wall. Among the group of mutant beasts, as long as they see any mutant beast taking two more steps towards the city wall, the person responsible for vigilance and observation will immediately send a message, putting everyone on alert immediately to deal with the mutant beasts at all times. of raids.
However, such stressful days have passed for several days. Countless federal soldiers and mutant beast hunters have not been able to work properly since almost the day after the weapons were distributed. The ground has closed its eyes! Everyone thought that the attack of the mutant beasts would start in a day or two, but they did not expect that the mutant beasts outside the city seemed to know that they were nervous and were teasing them day by day.
After one or two times, everyone didn’t feel anything was wrong, but instead had high morale. However, this happened every day, which made them unable to have a good rest. After that, countless federal soldiers and mutant beasts were densely packed on the city wall. The readers can’t stand it any longer! The mental and physical exhaustion was like that heavy mountain, which was too heavy for them to bear. The exhaustion in their hearts made them fall asleep leaning against the cold steel wall unconsciously!
Qing Huan from Xia Zhi stood carefully next to Jiu Jiu Gu Liang. She couldn't help but yawned. She realized that she had made a noise and quickly covered her mouth. She glanced around carefully and then relaxed. Looking at the shadow of the little rabbit sleeping soundly with his head lowered to his chest, Xia Zhi Qing Huan quickly pushed away She pushed him and asked in a low voice: "Shadow, how could you fall asleep? You are easily discovered by others. If you are punished in a while, it will be over! What if the mutant beast attacks?"
The shadow of the little rabbit suddenly became excited, and he opened his eyes in an instant, looking through the small window toward the wilderness outside the city wall. The mutant beasts took a look and saw that it was still calm outside. Then they secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Xia Zhi's Qing Huan with his already red eyes, and said somewhat depressedly: "I I don’t want to sleep either! But look how many days we have been waiting for those mutated beasts to come. I am going to be defeated by myself! Look at how everyone has been guarding us day and night. Who can really survive? We are not regular soldiers and have never participated in such training. We have been kept like this. How can you endure it if you follow them? Do you think the higher ups can give you something like you girls? Four hours of rest."
Xia Zhi Qing Huan rolled her eyes at the little rabbit's shadow in embarrassment. After a moment of silence, she sighed and continued: "Then you can't sleep so openly! If you are caught by the officers above, you will suffer the consequences!”
Little Rabbit! The shadow curled his lips, with a look of disbelief: "Look over there? Aren't there many people dozing off? This is called recharging your energy, you know? You have no energy. If the mutant beast really attacks, , then it’s over! So, it’s right for us to recuperate now, it’s not like we are here to watch, those The mutant beasts won’t come! Besides, there are energy warning alarms outside. If those mutant beasts really step into the warning edge, there will definitely be an alarm. You don’t have to worry!”
Xia Zhi’s Qing Huan frowned immediately when she heard this, and gestured toward the shadow of the little rabbit. Looking in the direction, he saw many people leaning against the city wall, dozing off with their heads half raised, but they looked very worried. Xia Zhi's Qing Huan couldn't help but feel soft. , exhaled, looked at the shadow of the little rabbit and asked: "Shadow, are you very tired these days?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Who is not tired on this city wall? You can try it for a few days and nights without sleeping and you will know!" The shadow of the little rabbit rolled his eyes at Xia Zhi's Qing Huan, and suddenly felt excited when he saw her. He raised his eyes and stared at himself, then opened his eyes a little embarrassedly, and then said: "I just want to have a good sleep now! It will be fine in a while."
"Then you go to sleep, I will help you look after it. Come on! I’ll call you if there’s anything wrong!” Zhi Qinghuan pursed her lips and said something to the shadow of the little rabbit with a hint of sympathy. Seeing him nodding with joy, she squatted down under the city wall and closed her eyes in an exaggerated manner. Xia Zhi Qinghuan Helplessly and worriedly, he quickly glanced at the nearby people. After thinking for a while, he moved in front of the little rabbit's shadow, and after covering him a little, he pulled Jiu Jiugu next to him to cool down. She also helped block some angles for the little rabbit's shadow.
"Sister Jiujiu, how long do you think those mutated beasts are going to fight us? Could it be that after a while they see that our defense here is very strict, so they go back home?"< br>
Jiujiu Guliang clenched the long sword in her hand and did not say a word when she heard Xia Zhi's Qing Huan's words.
At present, these mutant beasts outside the city have already developed some wisdom after generations of accumulation. They even have plans to attack humans and the ability to think and judge. Naturally, they cannot easily do so. Let humans guess the plans of these mutant beasts.
So for humans like them, now they can either take the initiative to attack those mutated beasts, scare them away, and drive them back to where they should be taken; or they can only stay inside the city wall, as it is now Hide and be careful to see if those mutated beasts will attack.
This battle probably requires patience! Whoever delays longer and is patient may win!
Of course, all this is just Jiujiu Guliang’s own speculation. Whether it is true or false, no one may know.
Looking at Jiujiu Guliang’s heavy expression, Qing Huan from Xia Zhi could only sigh sadly, lying on the small window of the city wall, looking eagerly at the mutated beasts outside the city wall, and could not help but sigh. I didn't know what I was thinking of, and I muttered: "I don't know when we can go home!"
This is Nine It was the first time that Jiu Guliang heard Xia Zhi's Qing Huan mention her situation at home, so she couldn't help but look at her sideways, and looked at Xia Zhi's Qing Huan's face with a lonely look on her face. , Jiujiu Guliang then hesitantly asked: "Qing Huan, is there anyone waiting at home?"
"There must be someone waiting for me!" Xia Zhi's Qing Huan nodded without hesitation, as if she had finally gotten Jiujiu Guliang's attention, and said to her: "I have several brothers and sisters at home waiting for me. Make money and go back! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here at the front line. !”
“Are your brothers and sisters still young?”
“The oldest is only eighteen years old!” Xia Zhi’s face was full of joy. She smiled softly, and it was obvious that she had a very good relationship with her sisters and brothers.
"What about your parents? Do they agree with you coming out?" Jiujiu Guliang frowned and asked curiously.
"Parents? Oh, our parents have passed away a long time ago! I forgot to tell Sister Jiujiu that among my brothers and sisters, only the eldest one is my biological brother, and the rest are all They are just some children that my brother and I picked up!”
"Then you are living on your own now?" Jiujiu Guliang glanced at Xia Zhi's Qing Huan in surprise, slightly surprised that such a young girl would be willing to pick up so many children to raise! Doesn't she feel tired?
"It doesn't count as living on your own! My brother and I have adoptive parents! Now the adoptive parents are taking care of those younger brothers and sisters." Xia Zhi's Qing Huan said to Jiujiu Gu Liang with a smile on her face : "Our adoptive parents have been very good to us over the years. Even though my brother and I have picked up so many children, they have taken care of them without any regrets. Our life at home has been smooth. It’s not very good, but they are trying their best to give us the best life they can give us, so this time the federal government is willing to recruit me to be a hunter of this mutant beast, I just want to make a good amount of money back home! "This is to repay our adoptive parents for their kindness in raising us." Jiujiu Guliang nodded, finally understanding why Xia Zhi's Qing Huan came to hunt mutant beasts.
“By the way, Sister Jiujiu, who else is there in your family?”
Jiujiu Sister Liang was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she had a hint of anger. The gentle light dissipated immediately, and he moved his gaze away from Qing Huan in Xia Zhi, and once again fell on the mutated beasts outside the city wall without saying a word.
"Sister Jiujiu, is there no one in your family anymore?" Xia Zhi's Qing Huan seemed to suddenly react. She glanced in the direction of Jiujiu Guliang with some disbelief. After looking at her for a while, she then turned around. After Xiao nodded, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He looked at Sister Jiujiu for a while with curiosity and embarrassment, and asked: "Sister Jiujiu, you usually keep to yourself. Because of this?”
“Yes!” Jiu Jiugu nodded indifferently. She was unwilling to say more about her own affairs. She could only respond vaguely to Xia Zhi's Qing Huan, and then said to her: "There is nothing to be curious about about my affairs, so don't worry about it anymore." Asked!”
Xia Zhi’s Qing Huan nodded quickly, but when she looked at Jiujiu Guliang, she couldn’t help but feel a hint of sympathy.
Anyone who becomes a loner deserves sympathy from others, right? What's more, isn't it pitiful that Jiujiu Guliang is already like this and still has to work out her life?
Thinking of this, the joy of summer solstice is a little strange again! Since there is no one in Jiujiu Guliang’s family, why do they still come to kill the mutant beasts?
According to Xia Zhi's Qing Huan's wishes, since Jiu Jiu Gu Liang is alone, there is no need to work hard to hunt mutant beasts and earn military merits and bonuses to go back, right? With Jiujiu Guliang's skill, if she can just find a place and kill a lone mutant beast, she can get a lot of federal coins and live a good life, so there is no need to come here like them. Desperately?
This fight will be a battlefield! No one can guarantee that anyone will survive! If he dies, who will the military merit and bonus earned by Jiujiu Guliang be given to? It makes absolutely no sense for her to do this!
Thinking of this, Xia Zhi’s Qing Huan immediately glanced at Jiujiu Sister Liang suspiciously, and couldn’t help but ask: “Sister Jiujiu, why are you here?”
Jiu Jiu Gu Liang frowned, not wanting to answer Xia Zhi’s Qing Huan.
In her opinion, there is no need to tell others these personal things! But out of the corner of her eye, she saw the curious and worried expression on Xia Zhi's Qing Huan's delicate face. After thinking about it for a while, Jiujiu Guliang said slowly: "You have adoptive parents who need to repay your kindness." , I also have people I need to repay! If I can earn the completion bonus and go back to let them live a good life, then I will have nothing more to ask for!”
Hearing this, Xia Zhi's Qing Huan finally understood. Jiujiu Guliang is just like her, she wants to give everything she earns to others in order to repay her kindness, so she comes here to work hard!
"Sister Jiujiu, it seems that we are really the same person!"
Sister Jiujiu nodded lightly and had no intention of talking anymore.
Qing Huan of Xia Zhi stood with Jiujiu Guliang, resting in the shadow of the little rabbit, looking at the group of mutated beasts outside the city, thinking about his own matter.
Soon, night completely enveloped the entire sky as the last light on the horizon completely disappeared.
Countless energy lamps were also lit on the walls of Wuning City, illuminating the city and outside as if it were daytime.
The soldiers responsible for distributing food carried countless compressed food and nutrient solutions along the city wall and distributed them to every soldier and mutant beast hunter stationed on the city wall. After going around, I started sorting out some filling food that I was going to distribute in the middle of the night.
The tense atmosphere on the entire city wall is only at this time, can everyone relax and enjoy the not-too-delicious food in their hands.
Everyone is happy at this moment!
But what no one expected was that while everyone was filling their stomachs, the mutant beasts outside Wu Ning City took advantage of the night to hide in countless plants and shadows, but they carefully stuck to On the ground, he walked towards the city wall step by step, and finally stopped carefully in a brightly lit place, quietly observing the movement on the city wall.
About ten minutes later, these mutated beasts seemed to have determined that everyone was eating and relaxed their vigilance. Then they jumped directly into the bright area illuminated by the energy lamp and attacked directly towards the city wall. !
