Chapter 114 113. Humanity’s Counterattack
On the second day of the apocalypse, the remaining shelters were operating stably, as if the disaster had passed.
But from outside cameras and drones, we can know that the outside has become a paradise for monsters.
Human beings can only survive by hiding underground and not daring to go out.
But there is one exception.
In the Southern District, known as the Land of Hope, Chief He Xuemei gave a speech, announcing the formal establishment of the Sword Bearer Department and calling on all the powerful immortals to join.
And the Southern District League will launch its pioneering campaign in ten days.
The goal is to retake the surface and return home.
After Wei Qiang listened to the speech, he immediately took Su Hong with him to find Sun Hang to sign up as a sword bearer.
Unfortunately, Sun Hang made it clear that it was impossible.
This is what he said at the time: "Those who can join the Sword Bearer Department are at least the elites among the undead, and they are among the best in the Sanctuary."
"I'm not even qualified to join, let alone you."
However, Wei Qiang was not reconciled. He also specifically asked about the possibility of joining the army.
Sun Hang: "It is possible to join the army."
"Undead without training, their physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary people. Even in the army, they are also super special forces. The commander of the Southern District will not refuse your request."
"But the army doesn't have a dedicated army of undead. The soldiers there are almost all ordinary people. If you two undead get together, you're lucky enough to be able to blend in. If you're lucky, you'll almost be ostracized."
"Joining the military was not the best option."
When Su Hong heard this, he understood that Sun Hang had something to say, and immediately asked: "So, captain, what do you mean?"
Sun Hang: "In order to get a share of the pie, I discussed with my former brothers from the Undead Squad and made suggestions to the military region to establish a corps that is affiliated with the military but has certain autonomy."
"You can be understood as mercenaries."
"In the future, we can earn commissions by completing tasks entrusted by the military, and we can also receive equipment and technical support from the military, which can make up for our shortcomings in strength."
"If you want to return to the surface, joining our Corps is the best choice."
Su Hong asked: "What is the name of the Corps?"
"The Blade of Immortality."
…
On the third day, after the Immortal Blade was established, the undead from major refuges in the Southern District followed suit and formed their own undead corps.
Overnight, regiments sprouted up everywhere in the Southern District, and even regiments composed of ordinary people appeared.
Not all of these regiments are under the command of the military, there are also some completely free regiments, and they have also obtained passes to go out of the refuge.
Three days later, the alliance and the military finalized the route and specific combat plan of the development plan.
Retaking the city is not the top priority, they have more important tasks to perform.
The first development mission is to open up the passage between the southern area and the northern area, and open up a safe road for the evacuation of the refuge in the northern area.
Shengshi happened to be on the only way to this route, so it naturally became the first target of the alliance.
At the same time, the shelter engineering team is recruiting people.
The Alliance is preparing to establish a temporary survivor gathering place on the dangerous ground cleared by the pioneering army to accommodate the team of survivors moving from the north to the south.
It can also provide supplies to the major pioneering corps and improve the efficiency of pioneering. After unanimous agreement among alliance members, the name of this gathering place for survivors was Dawn.
When Su Hong saw the notification order issued by the alliance, he suddenly realized.
"The predecessor of Dawn City should be this Dawn Gathering Place. Did it already appear at this time?"
Soon, ten days passed, and it was time for humans to counterattack.
Under global attention, shelter passages were opened, armored vehicles and tanks were dispatched, and ground troops coordinated the attack.
At the same time, missile vehicles and radar vehicles are deployed in safe areas to alert for special situations at any time.
Su Hong and Wei Qiang were also inside. They wore special body armor and held submachine guns in their hands. They sat behind the armored vehicle and followed the armored troops with members of the Immortal Blade. They also looked after the army to avoid sneak attacks by disaster monsters.
The buildings in Sheng City are densely packed, and the streets and alleys are full of traces of monsters. If the army directly steps into it and engages in street fighting with monsters, it will easily suffer heavy losses.
The solution is also very simple, that is to use full firepower.
Because of Su Hong's apocalyptic warning, the army completed its evacuation before the apocalypse and hid in underground facilities to preserve its living strength to the greatest extent.
Human beings can also be more calm in the face of disasters.
The missile production line and gun assembly line in the rear area are running continuously. Small missiles are sent to the battlefield one after another. The radar locks on the conspicuous target, and the bombers project artillery shells for continuous bombardment.
One day later, the Qinghai District of the city was bombed all over, and everywhere was filled with smoke and devastated.
However, the army was still able to keep its composure and sent drone troops to proactively enter the city the next day, looking for traces of monsters and carrying out suicide bombings.
On the third day, tanks and armored vehicles rolled over the ruins and walked through the streets. Special operations forces cooperated with drones and mechanical dogs to clean up the remaining monsters in the city.
After the risk factor in the urban area was reduced, the engineering team came in. They drove bulldozers to clear the debris on the roads and repair the damaged roads.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and after the fourth day arrived, the alliance announced that it had recovered the Qinghai District of Sheng City.
The war was swift and efficient.
The army continued to advance, and the members of the Immortal Blade Corps followed the army's attack and harvested a lot of good things.
The undead in the corps have increased their disaster level by one on average.
In order not to reveal his secret, Su Hong also released some strength appropriately.
On the fifth day of the pioneering operation, the army bombed the entire Shengshi city as usual and sent drones to clean it up.
After the giant dragon corpse vine entrenched in the black forest left, there were few things that could threaten the army, and the army entered the city smoothly.
During this period, the commander-in-chief personally went to the front line, met with Wang Chengzhi who was still in the Huayuan Community, and invited him to the shelter.
However, Wang Chengzhi kept Su Hong's instructions in mind and did not leave immediately. He just said that he had other things to do and needed to stay in the city.
The alliance did not force it and could only send troops to guard the surrounding garden community.
On the tenth day of the pioneering operation, the alliance announced that it had regained Sheng City.
The mission of the Blade of Immortality has also been relaxed a lot. Su Hong asked Sun Hang for a leave, saying that he wanted to go home and have a look.
Since the Garden Community was currently guarded by army soldiers, he did not go back directly. Instead, he found a toilet within ten kilometers of the anchor point and pretended to have an upset stomach and went in.
Su Hong stood in front of the sink and opened his palm. Inside lay an ash fire and a brass ring exuding a strange red mist.
"Refining."
