"You have to bear it even if you can't bear it!"
Zhao Wugang replied with bloodshot eyes.
"Be reasonable. I've already told you that we don't have much ammunition left. What can we use to fight back? Do we really have to all take up knives and fight?"
"So what do you say?"
"If you ask me, give up the defense line and retreat!"
Qin Shu said through gritted teeth.
"No, absolutely not! There's no place to retreat to. The camp is right behind us!"
Zhao Wugang's attitude was very tough.
"Then what do you say we should do? Are we really going to die here?"
Qin Shu was almost pissed off at Zhao Wugang. He was really stubborn and nothing he could do made sense to.
It would be great if Minister Gu was still in the president's command, but unfortunately Gu Yuan is injured now, and the battlefield command falls on her and Zhao Wugang.
"Ask for help from the headquarters!"
Zhao Wugang said with a changing expression.
"Okay!"
Qin Shu took a deep breath and replied.
…
The center of the eighth administrative district, Yinglu City (warehousing area), City Lord’s Mansion.
An old woman with a wrinkled face, gray hair, simple clothes and sharp eyes sat steadily on the chair.
In front of her stood a middle-aged man wearing a major general's uniform, who looked restless, gloomy, with brows like sword stars.
This middle-aged man was Jiang Wen, the war commander appointed by the Red Alliance.
Jiang Wen said in a deep voice to the old woman in front of him.
"City Lord Su Yuan, the northern region has been hit again and is now in a state of emergency!"
"What is going on? Why is the northern region hit again?"
When Su Yuan heard this, her expression became very ugly.
"This is very abnormal. These infected zombies are attacking the northern defense line in an organized and orderly manner. Under normal circumstances, zombies should be disorderly and chaotic. This kind of zombie group would not be a big deal even if its number doubled. But now it's like an invisible hand is constantly pushing it forward."
Jiang Wen said with a headache.
"What's the point of saying that? If the north is breached, it will be the end. I would quickly transfer troops from the defense zone that has not been hit to support the north."
At this time, a middle-aged female officer wearing a colonel's uniform, with short chestnut hair, thin lips, and a very strong look spoke.
Looking closely, the female officer was wearing a military uniform with a green leaf logo on her chest.
"Lieutenant Colonel Miao Tong, please be rational and calm. The situation is obviously not right now. It seems that the enemy is deliberately attacking the northern defense line, so that we can go to support them! When they have the chance, the defense line that we have stabilized with great difficulty will be broken through and riddled with holes."
"Commander Jiang Wen, I don't agree with you. No matter how the corpse monster evolves, it can't be that intelligent."
"Of course I know that corpse monsters shouldn't be so intelligent, but now it seems that the other party is orderly."
Jiang Wen said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Jiang Wen couldn't make sense, Miao Tong spoke anxiously to City Lord Su Yuan.
"City Lord, the northern defense line is really failing. If we don't send troops, it will be over."
Su Yuan was also in a dilemma, her expression kept changing, and after a few seconds she spoke hoarsely.
"Jiang Wen, if the northern defense line continues like this, it will definitely be dangerous."
"Then I would rather the northern defense line be breached than draw troops from other defense zones. It's better to have one place breached than to have holes everywhere. Then we'll have to run around to plug the holes."
At this time Jiang Wen replied very firmly.
"Are you going to give up the northern defense line?"
Miao Tong looked at Jiang Wen in shock and anger.
"I didn't. I just told them to hold the line and told them backup would arrive soon."
"If you don't allow the troops in the defense zone to be mobilized, where will the reinforcements come from?"
"Dispatch troops from outside and send another request for help to the neighboring administrative districts. As for the reinforcements that are entering District 8 one after another, assign them all to them and let them hold on."
Jiang Wen took a deep breath and replied.
Miao Tong wanted to say something, but then City Lord Su Yuan spoke hoarsely.
"Follow Jiang Wen's decision."
…
On the road in heavy rain.
Shen Qiu listened to Yun Xiaoxi and Li Yan speculating about the person most likely to break through.
"I think the captain of the first team is suspicious."
"Ye Hao has a good chance of being the one, but I don't think it's likely to be him. Because his ability is very complicated. I think Chu Wuji is the most likely candidate. After all, he is a dark horse among dark horses and has been very strong recently."
"Chu Wuji is also a possibility."
…
Just as they were discussing heatedly, Chen Wei's voice came from the car speaker.
"Everyone, pay attention. We will reach the northern defense line in another hour. I just received a wireless broadcast. The situation over there is very bad. It seems that a bloody battle is going on!"
"Got it. Let's prepare for battle now."
Li Yan immediately replied in a deep voice.
Suddenly everyone moved, and Yun Xiaoxi walked towards her sleeping place.
Shen Qiu walked straight towards his room. He entered the room, picked up Han Ye, and checked to see if anything was left behind.
He took a quick look, saw that he had forgotten nothing, and walked out.
Just as he walked past the door of Yun Xiaoxi's room.
Shen Qiu discovered that Yun Xiaoxi's door was not closed tightly. Through the gap, he could see that Yun Xiaoxi was holding a gas mask in one hand and touching the mask with the other, and seemed to be very conflicted about whether to put it on.
Seeing this, Shen Qiu became interested for a moment. He had never seen Yun Xiaoxi take off her mask, and he didn't know what she looked like, so he watched with some curiosity.
At this moment, a strong hand suddenly patted his shoulder.
"Shen Qiu!"
Shen Qiu was slightly startled and turned his head to look over, only to see Li Yan walk up to him and look at him with interest.
"Well... I'll just take a look."
"Let me warn you, curiosity kills the cat? Are you sure you want to peek? Let me tell you, we have a custom over there. If you see the face under the mask, you have to marry that person."
"No, no, it's not like that in this day and age, is it?"
"That's hard to say. Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. I, Gu Bu, Hua Yue and the others can also wear masks all the time, but have you ever seen us wearing them all the time? Even other new nobles who often wear masks will take them off more or less. But Yun Xiaoxi has never taken it off once! Although she is my teammate, I can't say anything, but I tell you, people who wear masks all the time in this world must have problems. Ninety percent of the time, it's possible that they are crooked, or have birthmarks or scars. Are you sure you want to see it?"
"Ahem, I won't watch it anymore. I won't watch it anymore."
After hearing what Li Yan said, Shen Qiu lost his curiosity. He was extremely grateful that he almost made a big mistake.
"Well, that's the wise choice."
Li Yan replied with a smile.
Just then, Yun Xiaoxi came out wearing a fox mask and asked in confusion.
"What are you two doing?"
