"Hold on to the defense line! Hold on, everyone!"
The beach was filled with the roar of rockets and the roar of soldiers. Bog crab corpses were everywhere, curled up into charred coal balls on the beach. However, alien species are born with no idea of fear. The death of their companions not only did not make them retreat, but instead aroused their ferocity.
Several times, the mire crabs moved through the NAC defense line. Soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons had to engage in close combat with these alien species. They used their flesh and blood to resist the alien steel torrent, waiting for the fireball -1 to cover the battlefield and destroy the mire crabs that broke through the defense line. Finally, put the stakes back in place.
After a whole day of fierce fighting, when dusk fell, the mire crabs' attack finally slowed down. Perhaps because all the mud crabs that have ended hibernation have been cleared away, the remaining mud crabs choose to temporarily lurk in the water, waiting for more companions to wake up from hibernation, and then launch an offensive against the defense line on Despair Beach.
On this day, the ammunition that NAC tilted on the beach could already pile up into a hill.
Li Wang opened the visor of his helmet, sat down on the stool, took the nutritional mixture from the support staff, raised his head and drank two bottles. He has been fighting on the front line all day long, and he has not had a drop of water since early morning.
At this time, the adjutant came forward and reported to him the situation on the front line.
"From early morning to now, we have emptied 107 boxes of ammunition, and the remaining ammunition is only enough for us to last two more days."
"How is the wall being built?"
"Ten percent remains."
Li Wang nodded.
Very good, if we keep up this momentum, we should be able to complete it before noon tomorrow.
Looking at the sea level in the distance, the waves rolled up white foam. I don't know if it was the rolling tide or the white foam spit out by the mud crabs that were waking up from hibernation. No one knew how much respite the mud crabs would give them, but after drinking the nutritional potion, the soldiers walked onto the beach to find some roe from the mud crabs. After returning to their positions, they lit a fire and skewered them with tree branches to grill and eat. .
Normally, they would definitely have two small bottles of wine to savor, but at this moment, they obviously do not have this condition. After wiping the crab roe on their hands, they picked up their rifles again and returned to the battle line, resting while waiting for a new round of offensive.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Wang summoned his subordinates in the command room and made adjustments to the frontline deployment.
At this moment, a man lifted the curtain of the command room and walked into the barracks.
"Marshal?!" After seeing who was coming, Li Wang suddenly opened his eyes with joy and came forward, "Great, you are finally back!"
After Miss Lin came back from Datunshan Nature Park, Li Wang had been worried about Jiang Chen's safety. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no manpower available at the front line, and Jiang Chen personally ordered not to worry about it, he would have sent people to look for him there.
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded to him, and immediately asked about the situation on the front line.
"How is the situation on the front line?"
"It's very serious. There are too many mud crabs, but we finally completed 80% of the project before the early morning of February 28th. We will be able to complete this wall by tomorrow at the latest!" Li Wang He said decisively.
"Where are the casualties?" Jiang Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Seven were killed and five were injured... Some mutant individuals among these mire crabs can spray corrosive acid. The casualties are mainly caused by these mutant individuals."
Seven were killed and five were injured. The battle losses were still within an acceptable range. Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
If he really couldn't hold it, he would prefer to temporarily evacuate from Yizhou Island and wait until the summer solstice to return to the island to complete this line of defense. Although we want to start the construction of the space elevator as early as possible, if the expeditionary force suffers a large number of casualties as a result, it will be a waste.
"I will ask Wang Qing to properly arrange for the families of the fallen soldiers. I will leave this line of defense to you." Jiang Chen
"Yes!" Li Wang saluted, paused for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing I have to report to you."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen stopped and was about to leave, turned around and asked.
"Some time ago, the survivors, instigated by people with ulterior motives, went on strike, which almost brought the project to a complete halt. According to the subsequent investigation by my staff, I found that those people with ulterior motives were the workers sent by Vault 79."
Careful work
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.
You idiots, my people are risking their lives to help you in the front and block these ghosts on the beach, but you are making small moves behind you, and you are trying to build a wall
I am simply tired of living!
Li Wang looked at Jiang Chen, quietly waiting for his instructions.
"Secure this line of defense first, and then send out two hundred people to take over Town No. 79."
"Where are those people in Vault 79?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
As for those who don’t surrender? Then go to hell!
After entrusting the matter of the defense line to Li Wang, Jiang Chen circled around the front line and showed his face in front of the soldiers. When they saw the marshal coming to the front line to supervise the battle, the morale of these exhausted soldiers obviously rose to a new level, and they all vowed to defend the line and never take a step back.
For the marshal who unified the Suzhou and Hangzhou provinces, the survivors who once roamed the wasteland and lived a hard life admired him from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of personal worship has even risen to the level of belief.
After all, in this atheistic land, there are not many things that can be used as spiritual sustenance...
Without staying too long on the beach, Jiang Chen returned to the Order airship.
When he boarded the airship, Lin Ling was standing in the cockpit of the airship, looking out the window in trance.
It was getting dark and two days had passed, but Jiang Chen still hadn't come back. Although she knew Jiang Chen would be fine, she still couldn't help but worry that he might run into trouble on the mountain.
At this time, the sound of opening the door sounded behind her, and Lin Ling turned around, her red and black eyes suddenly filled with joy.
But soon, she bravely hid her joy and hummed twice.
"You, are you finally back?"
This change of expression is a bit too stiff. If you're worried, just say so... It's not a bad thing to care about people, but why hide it like this
Jiang Chen didn't say anything, he walked to her side with a smile, stretched out his hand to conjure a USB flash drive, and handed it to her hand, "I can't understand the model number. Anyway, this is the fusion generator of the Qingshui Nuclear Power Plant." The design drawings are compatible with three types of nuclear fuels, including deuterium, tritium, and helium 3. It also contains the management AI of nuclear power facilities, and I’ll leave it to you to integrate it.”
"Humph, I won't work for nothing -" Lin Ling took the USB flash drive from Jiang Chen's hand. Lin Ling was about to say something arrogant, but before she could finish her words, Jiang Chen smiled and handed over a box of USB flash drives. Mango pudding was stuffed into her hand.
Lin Ling's pretty face turned red as she was directly seen through her heart, and looked away.
"I worry you." Jiang Chen smiled and rubbed her little head, "Don't eat too much at night and go to bed early."
"kindness."
Lin Ling subconsciously responded.
When she came to her senses, Jiang Chen had already left the command room. Looking at the direction he left, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.
After a long time, the little mouth uttered two words slightly.
"Fool… "(.)
