For a while, the whole room was eerily silent, and no one spoke.
Everyone looked silently at Chi Xin, who was still kneeling on the spot, holding a posture of hugging him, and no one dared to step forward rashly.
Suddenly someone moved.
Jing Xiubai stepped forward slowly, walked behind Chi Xin, put a hand on her shoulder and clenched it tightly.
When the core is not released, this body is no different from any graceful girl, and the tentacles are soft and warm, but everyone knows that there is so much power hidden underneath. quantity.
This force led several people to walk in the dark, and when the sky was dark, she dared to pierce the sky.
But few people can see that, when she loses something, she also has a vulnerable side.
Just never show it to people.
"There are more important things to do now." Jing Xiubai said.
Chi Xin lowered her head, her long black hair hanging down to the side of her face, covering her expression.
Just when Jing Xiubai thought she was immersed in grief and was trying to extricate herself, she heard her slightly hoarse voice.
"How long are we away from reality?"
"It's less than two days." Jing Xiubai said, "They came here to find someone after they found something wrong yesterday morning. The images sent back by the satellite were a little different."
"Is everyone else okay?"
"Everyone is fine except Ding Hongkai."
The cell core paused for two seconds, the pair of hands slowly clenched, and then stood up.
She turned to face everyone, with a look of indifference on her face in the face of eyes that contained all kinds of emotions.
"Go check the satellite images first, and the others will go to their respective places according to the previous arrangement."
The crowd responded.
"Lou Chen's death is not necessarily a bad thing." Holley said, "Without him, that person will be subject to many restrictions. At least we don't have to worry about them uniting."
Chi Xin, who was about to walk past him, stopped.
Holly raised his head subconsciously and met her cold, frosty eyes.
"Before I saw Lou Chen's body, no one could convict Lou Chen of death." She rarely used such an absolutely irrefutable tone, and when she said it, no one dared to refute it.
Chi Xin turned his head and looked forward: "Lou Chen has proved that he will not be in trouble with Raphael. In the future, I hope to see a fair and objective evaluation of him."
After she finished speaking, she walked away.
The people behind her were silent for a few seconds, and Jing Xiubai and Yu Shizhao followed in her footsteps.
"Now you know what happened?" Chi Xin asked on the way to the administration building.
Jing Xiubai shook his head: "I didn't have time to ask carefully just now, and I'm not worried about what they conveyed, so it's better to see it with my own eyes."
Chi Xin likes this idea.
He left for only a day and a half, and when he came back, nothing had changed. Chi Xin came to the control room familiarly and watched Jing Xiubai unlock the complicated combination lock.
Immediately, a series of high-definition pictures appeared on the computer screen.
The three heads moved closer together.
Chi Xin, who couldn't understand, had the same serious expression as the other two, and asked after a while, "What do you see?"
"It's a little strange." Yu Shizhao said, "Not only in the east, but also in other directions, shadows are spreading here, and from the detection time period, the movement speed is still very fast."
Chi Xin also saw that the photo had a lot more shadows than before. Now the point represented by base a is like the center of a circle, and the surrounding area is radiated and empty, and the area of this pure land is getting smaller and smaller.
"Did Raphael control more zombies and plan to surround base a?" she said.
"No."
This time, it was Jing Xiubai who answered. He stretched out his hand on the keyboard and manipulated it a few times. He picked out a few pictures individually and enlarged them. I don't know which button was pressed, and a photo was instantly lined up in time units.
"From here, we can analyze the trajectory of these shadows." Jing Xiubai's slender fingers slid on the screen, and Chi Xin's eyes followed it, "They never come from different directions, but there is one of them. The branch area is especially huge, and the source comes from here.”
Chi Xin's eyes were fixed on a brown plate with his fingertips.
"I country." Yu Shizhao murmured.
In the blink of an eye, Chi Xin's brain was stunned for a moment, and his sense of joy exploded before his reason: "I country!"
Jing Xiubai's tense face also relaxed slightly: "Yes, it seems that our worries can be put down at least half."
"What's going on?" Yu Shizhao looked at them blankly, "Is there any powerful foreign aid that I don't know about?"
Chi Xin and Jing Xiubai looked at each other and smiled, their brows finally eased.
"Brother Yu, maybe you still have an impression of Boss Rong?" Chi Xin said.
Yu Shizhao looked stunned: "You mean, these," he trembled slightly, pointing at the large, cloud-like shadows, "... all of Boss Rong's people?"
"This may not be accurate." Chi Xin said, "But it should be the person he found who started from country i."
Yu Shizhao's lips trembled suddenly, his pupils vibrated, he took a step back, and fell into the seat.
He looked at the shadows on the screen that almost rivaled the East Chamber, and suddenly covered his face.
There was a sigh in Chi Xin's eyes.
Yu Shizhao is not a fragile person. Even if he faces a desperate situation again, he can face it with the mentality of going to die, but when he had already made plans to die, suddenly another huge surprise came down, telling him that not only can he You don't have to die, maybe you can keep everything he protects. This kind of ups and downs is not something that a person with a normal mentality can bear.
Chi Xin and Jing Xiubai didn't bother him, they looked at the screen and discussed softly for a while.
"How long will it take to arrive?"
"Conservatively estimate, it will take about a month." Jing Xiubai said, "That road is not easy to walk, they have to rely on transportation, I don't know if they can find it."
"One month." Chi Xin pondered, "Where's Raphael?"
"Looking at the speed of the vanguard, there's still about a week before the troops will come to the city." Jing Xiubai said.
The situation remains dire.
"Miss Chi, it's time for the people outside to move into the base." Yu Shizhao put down his face, looking as if nothing had happened just now, but if you look closely, it's not hard to see that there is a firmer expression in his eyebrows. "When the corpse tide hits, they are the first to be traumatized."
"Indeed." Chi Xin raised the corners of his mouth, "It's very time, everyone will understand if you stay for a while, so I'll trouble Big Brother Yu to make arrangements."
Yu Shizhao got up slowly and bowed deeply to Chi Xin with unprecedented solemnity and respect.
Immediately, he got up and left without saying a word, looking like a high-spirited fighter from his back.
The pressing situation did not leave Chi Xin much time to think. In the following week, everyone had little time to rest until everything was arranged properly and everyone obeyed their accusations in an orderly manner. Only forced everyone to go back to rest.
"The corpse tide will arrive at the base in the next three days. Now, what time do you want to rest if you don't have a rest? When you fall asleep on the battlefield, the enemy is delivering food?" Everyone, "Except for those who are on duty, no one is allowed to work overtime today, can you hear me clearly?"
Her power is increasing day by day, and no one will not obey her orders.
Chi Xin sat in the first seat of the conference room, watching people leave one by one, and with a click, she lit a menthol cigarette under the table.
The fragrant smell poured into the nose, Chi Xin took a deep breath, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
Light footsteps came, and the only person who didn't leave came behind Chi Xin.
The familiar breath made Chi Xin too lazy to dodge, still closed his eyes and let him approach.
Immediately, a few cold fingers touched her temples, and before she was surprised, she started the massage in a gentle and soothing way.
"What time did Master Jing learn this art?" Chi Xin smiled lightly.
"These days, it's not easy to make a living, so I have to learn another craft." Jing Xiubai was serious.
Then neither of the two said a word, and in the light mint smoke, Chi Xin enjoyed a small head massage.
When Jing Xiubai retracted, she squeezed out the smoke when she opened her eyes, and there was only a line of space left between the firelight and her fingers.
"From tonight, I'll be standing on the city wall at the main gate." Chi Xin said, cutting off Jing Xiubai's words before he wanted to speak, "I won't have any problem if I don't sleep for a few days, you can go to bed honestly. "
Jing Xiubai was silent.
"I will explain Xiao Li again at the back door." Chi Xin continued, "Most of the troops are still stationed at the front door. I hope no zombies will learn to swim."
"I haven't found this yet." Jing Xiubai's face darkened, "But there is one thing that I'm worried about."
He rarely expresses concern about something outright, and Chi Xin gave him a surprised look: "Is there anything that worries you."
"Raphael." Jing Xiubai spat out the name.
Chi Xin smiled: "Isn't this everyone's concern?"
Jing Xiubai: "Actually, I raised this question before. The more I think about it these days, the more worried I become."
Seeing that he was so solemn, Chi Xin couldn't help sitting up straight and said, "Tell me about it."
"Before he was in the dark, we were in the light, and he is still the same now." Jing Xiubai looked into her eyes, "The corpse tide is coming this way, we can't be sure if it is all his troops, and... you."
"Me?" Chi Xin raised his eyebrows.
"He knows that you are the biggest trump card on the human side." Jing Xiubai said, "At this time, he tried every means to get you, but now he knows you are here, and he dares to come rashly, I am afraid he has restrained you. Methods."
Core thought.
"This is what worries me the most." Jing Xiubai took a deep breath, "If, I mean, if... on the battlefield, if you feel that you are invincible, don't take it hard."
Chi Xin looked up at him.
Jing Xiubai's eyes were filled with bright worry. He was so handsome that people felt unrealistic. When he was staring at a person with all his heart, his melancholy charm was particularly attractive.
Chi Xin suddenly found that she couldn't seem to remember the first time she saw the male protagonist.
From seeing his face across the screen in the movie, to the first time he pointed at his gun, his brows were as cold as snow.
All of this seems to be the work of the elders.
"Fortunately I don't chase stars." She blurted out.
Jing Xiubai's expression was stagnant: "What?"
"Ah..." Chi Xin realized that he had leaked, and quickly made up for it, "I mean, everyone treats me like a star chaser. No one thinks that I will lose to Raphael, so you don't have to worry."
She broke into a cold sweat in her heart.
She wanted to say that, fortunately, she didn't chase stars before, so she was blind to the actors who starred in this film, otherwise she would come in and always associate them with the former actors, which would not be very embarrassing.
However, how can people who have two time and space look so similar
The question flashed by.
Chi Xin thought about it, and looked up to meet Jing Xiu's sullen eyes.
Now it's the pool core's turn to be sluggish, why are you still angry
"You are a human, not a god." Jing Xiubai's tone was firm, "Nothing is more important than life. There is a saying that Lou Chen is right, you have no obligation to protect everyone."
Chi Xin was stunned for a while: "Everyone thinks that I am the god of war who saves you, but only you and Lou Chen think that I might die too."
"People will die naturally, but no one has the right to ask others to die for themselves." Jing Xiubai's tone softened, and he could almost be called a prayer, "Promise me, don't be stubborn, okay?"
Chi Xin thought in a daze, when did her personality change, and someone begged her not to go to death
"Okay." She replied absentmindedly.
Jing Xiubai showed a relieved look.
This episode soon passed. As she said, Chi Xin climbed the city wall in the night wind, and stared at the distant night with the guarding soldiers.
Looking at it, she suddenly felt as if someone was shaking beside her. She turned her head and saw that it was the little soldier who had seen it several times, covering her mouth and trying to control her excited trembling, looking at her.
"It's you." Chi Xin said with a smile, "are you on duty tonight?"
"Yes, Miss Chi." In the searchlight, Chi Xin clearly saw the little soldier's face blushing. He wanted to see her, but he was shy and afraid, which was in response to her chasing stars.
"What's your name?" Chi Xin took the initiative to ask.
"I, my name is Guo Zi." The little soldier replied excitedly.
"Guo Zi." Chi Xin read the name again, "Are you afraid?"
"With Miss Chi here, we are not afraid of anyone." Guo Zi's eyes were shining.
"That's it." Chi Xin said, "but be careful. On the battlefield, accidents will happen if you are not careful."
Guo Zi nodded and shook his head again: "Miss Chi, it's not that we are not afraid of death, it's just that you are here. We believe that even if we die, you will kill the demon and restore the world to normal."
Chi Xin had never heard of this statement, she tilted her head to look at him.
Guo Zi's face began to heat up again: "Yes, yes, war will always kill people, either I die or he will die, death is not terrible, what is more terrible is to die without seeing the light... I don't know why I fight, I don't know if I don't die this time, if there will be several next times... I, I don't have any culture, and it's messy."
He bowed his head in shame.
But the shock that these words brought to Chi Xin was not small.
"Guo Zi, how old are you?" she asked.
"21." Guo Zi replied quickly.
"How many people didn't graduate from college when they were 21 years old." Chi Xin murmured, then looked at him, "I understand what you mean."
Guo Zi showed a pure and naive smile: "You don't need to lift me up, I also know that I have no logic in my words... In fact, I just want to say, even if I know I will die, but I die in a meaningful way. His death will allow more people to see the future, and that's enough."
Chi Xin looked at him for a while, then reached out and took the gun in his pocket.
Guo Zi's eyes were stunned for a moment, and she watched in a daze as she casually carried the heavy gun that she could only rely on the city wall to place.
"The 12.8-caliber Ga/T/Lin is a good gun, but it's not enough." Chi Xin weighed it and directly took out a more rugged and terrifying machine/gun from the space and set it up again. Going back, "In the next battle, you have to use this."
Guo Zi opened his mouth. He was from an orthodox military academy, so he naturally knew what kind of gun she took out casually.
Aviation Plus/Special/Lin is almost equivalent to directly removing the weapons on the fighter jets for use, not to mention in the apocalypse, even before the apocalypse, few people used this combat directly.
Then he watched Chi Xin walk around the city wall, and when she came back, the guard guns at every gate of the city wall had been replaced with the same type.
This... He only knew that Miss Chi was an invincible god of war, but he didn't expect that she was actually a large self-propelled arsenal!
Immediately, his gaze, like everyone else's, became even more adored.
Chi Xin tried his best to reinforce the guards of the city wall by another layer, and he finally felt a little more at ease by looking left and right.
In the next battle, it is doubtful that she cannot protect everyone's lives by herself. She can only do her best and feel ashamed.
In the past two or three days, the guards on the city wall have changed one after another, but only Chi Xin has not changed.
In addition to going down the city wall when necessary, the pool core stayed on the wall for two and a half days, and finally saw the clue through the night vision binoculars late at night the next day.
The endless tide of corpses was advancing from afar, and even at this great distance, the faint tremor of the earth had already announced that the war was about to break out.
Since the arrangements had been made long ago, even though the atmosphere in the base suddenly became tense, it was not messy at all.
All the soldiers who were preparing for the first wave raised their heads and looked eagerly at the girl who was standing at the highest point of the city wall and was her own flag.
In the early morning of the third day, the corpse tide was pushed to the bottom of the city.
Across the heavy city gate, the unpleasant sound of the zombies' howls was exceptionally clear.
"The sniper is in place—"
"The gunner is in place—"
"The artillery is in place—"
"Infantry in place—"
"The power team is in place-"
A loud voice resounded through the early morning sky, and Chi Xin stretched out his arms slowly and straightly.
"Attack."
The outbreak of war.
It's not just a fight, it's a bare/naked/naked war.
For Raphael's first march, this team is mainly composed of zombies, and behind the corpse tide, there are several high-level zombies controlling mutant beasts.
When the mutant monitor lizard with a height of more than ten meters and a long giant tail appeared on the battlefield, the entire human side was silent for a second.
Even Chi Xin's pupils shrank slightly when he saw these dinosaur-like monsters.
The skin of the mutant monitor lizard is extremely hard, and the machine/gun hits it. Unless it hits one place multiple times in a row, it can only splash out dazzling sparks.
They stared at lantern-sized vertical pupils, and looked at a group of tiny humans with cold and coveted eyes.
Raphael is determined to break through the last line of defense of mankind, and even if he is not among them, he has shown enough power.
The power users worked together, and Wen Qiu of the soil type dug a huge hole in the ground and directly buried the monitor lizard and a large number of zombies alive.
The fire-type ability user ignited the zombies into a sea of fire.
An icicle rose into the sky, with two monitor lizards and several zombies strung on it, making this icicle their tombstone.
But the number of them is too large. After all, the ability users are only a few, and more are still groups of warriors who are not afraid of death, and they are filling in their lives.
They guard the human defense line and guard the city walls behind them.
Just as a monitor lizard had huge sharp teeth and was about to swallow a team of soldiers in front of him, a steel arrow as long as a man's arm passed through the cloud and pierced straight into the sky. into the mouth of the monitor lizard.
The lizard fell to the ground.
The rescued person looked up at the city wall, and saw Chi Xin standing on the top of the highest wall, behind which was the slowly rising giant sun.
She held a bow and arrows, and the bows and arrows that adult men may not be able to lift easily, she held the bow alone, and it was easy to draw full of them.
The bow is like a full moon, and it is as bright as the scorching sun.
She seemed to be able to shine.
"Whoosh-"
Another arrow, another monitor lizard.
Chi Xin was about to shoot the next arrow when his eyes suddenly narrowed.
There was an unusual movement in the distance.
