The real doomsday is not the loss of home and wealth, but the complete loss of hope.
The city lost its light, and buildings collapsed in the darkness. The city first lost its power supply the moment the disaster struck. People can't see the light, they don't know what's happening, they can only wait for death in the darkness.
The Yaohan Department Store in Menqian Town, which was one of the liveliest places in the city a few hours ago, is now a lifeless ruin. Thousands of people were buried under the rubble and their lives and deaths are unknown. The terrible strong earthquake came without warning, and the collapsed urban buildings filled the sky with smoke and dust that blocked the sun. The originally bright sky first turned yellow, then dark red, until the final dark sky.
Members of the special operations team went out in all directions to rescue injured civilians and search for suspicious targets.
This strong earthquake came very strangely. The central magnitude reached nine, but the area of impact was only a dozen kilometers around the center of the most densely populated city.
In the command center, Long Gongming personally presided over the meeting. Shocking electronic casualty reports came from all corners of the city. The faces of everyone attending the meeting were filled with heavy gloom. An hour passed and there was still no news about the target. Looking at the reports one after another, in addition to casualties and casualties, Long Gongming could only wait in silence as he looked at the accumulated numbers in tens of thousands.
The Metropolitan Police Department building has been razed to the ground, and a decent emergency response team cannot be organized. The only thing we can rely on right now is the Special Operations Directorate in this city, 300 Force Awakens members of fifteen special operations teams at three levels.
"You still can't contact Bai Qi?" Long Gongming looked at Ji Xuefei.
"He disappeared after the earthquake. He must have discovered something." Ji Xuefei's tone was heavy. Although it was just speculation, everyone present had a bad premonition. This strong earthquake was so violent that if it was caused by a monster in Guixu, it must be at the level of a demon god. Although Bai Qi is strong, he has no chance of winning alone.
Lin Guoyu said: "The Management Committee of Force Users has sent people over to assist. This time should have arrived long ago. It is estimated that they are psychic users. The range of strong earthquakes is limited. If the spiritual force reaches level five or above, it should be easy." Something was discovered.”
Huang Yonghao, who has gray hair on his temples but still looks young, said: "I advise you not to expect those old people in the Management Committee to keep up with the past. In name, they are in step with the government, but in fact they regard themselves as a Jianghu organization. Even if they have any inside information, It won’t necessarily be shared with us.”
Long Gongming looked unhappy and said: "Now is not the time to discuss internal conflicts. If this strong earthquake was caused by the Guixu monster, it must be a devil-level earth force user. In addition, the light from the previous attack on the high-energy cannon Because of the demon god, there are at least two powerful enemies in this incident. The situation is dangerous and we must unite sincerely."
Huang Yonghao smiled and said nothing. I feel disdainful in my heart. Anyone can talk about unity, but true unity is difficult. The front line of the first line of defense is already very tight right now. Trolls and magical soldiers are emerging one after another, taking turns to attack. Every day, mecha warriors were killed and injured, and mechas were beaten and scrapped. Some of the current frontline senior officials have their minds set on this. They are all trying their best to get themselves back to the rear, just waiting to evacuate the earth in three years. But you, Laolong, like to sing high notes.
Lin Guoyu said: "The Management Committee is a department authorized by the government to establish a bridge with the giants of the Jianghu to exchange their needs. The biggest resource in their hands is the Force Awakeners in the Jianghu. Through Fenglinwan, they can release information to the entire Chinese Jianghu circle. The mission, so I think the people who are qualified to accept the mission and come here must not be ordinary people."
Long Gongming raised his eyebrows and said: "You mean that with the intervention of the Management Committee, we can stop being so nervous for the time being and focus our main attention on the coastal front."
Lin Guoyu said: "Once the outer defense line is broken through by the giant monster soldiers, it will be a catastrophic disaster when the entire defense line collapses."
Ji Xuefei said: "The Metropolitan Police Department has been completely paralyzed. I urgently transferred a group of AAA-level artificial intelligence patrol officers from China to strengthen the city's defense and management. The data terminal has been set up in the city hall. By the way, it can also strengthen the fusion high-energy Cannon defense.”
Long Gongming pondered for a moment and said: "This is much better. The disaster has already happened and we can't avoid it. The city hall is left to Xue Fei. The casualties among the He people are too heavy. The mayor and council members are under great pressure. It’s very big. You need to take comfort in it. We will coordinate a batch of supplies from Dongdu as soon as possible. Your northern section defense command will be handed over to Lao Huang first, and then you can concentrate on handling this incident."
The battle on the first line of defense was fierce, and the pressure on Lao Long's shoulders was huge. The city shouldered the task of frontline logistics support. He couldn't completely ignore it, but he couldn't put all his energy here either. What Lao Huang said was not pleasant, but what he said was very realistic. He must concentrate his main efforts on the frontline war, otherwise once the giant monster soldiers break through the first line of defense, the mainland of the Chinese Alliance will suffer.
At the end of the meeting, Long Gongming called Ji Xuefei aside alone.
"Mechas are scrapped every day in the frontline war. The losses are too great. We cannot do without the city's mecha arsenal. If such sabotage continues, the war potential we have accumulated for ten years will be destroyed in one day, and the frontline mechas will not be able to survive. In addition, collapse is only a matter of time." Long Gongming said in a serious tone: "The war on the front line is tense, and many people are considering a retreat. Once there is a problem at the mecha factory, they will have an excuse to retreat. Do you understand what I mean? "
"Your worry is necessary. Seeing what Lao Huang meant just now, they are eager to abandon the first line of defense immediately." Ji Xuefei said: "The people who are dying now are the He tribe. In order to protect their homeland, they are very determined and willing to accept our help." Help shares the same hatred as us, but if we abandon the defense, the situation will immediately deteriorate to the point of being out of control. After the first line of defense collapses, the returning monsters will wreak havoc in Japan, and then there will be a greater force to attack our homeland. "
"So, the security of the city in the rear must be guaranteed." Long Gongming said: "I can't see it all being pointed at the Management Committee and the General Administration of Special Operations."
"You mean to increase the number of artificial intelligences?"
"I have already reported to the commander-in-chief. Even if there is a risk of losing control, we must add at least 100,000 artificial intelligence robots." Long Gongming said: "Besides this matter, I have one more thing to tell you."
"You want to talk about Lao Li, right?" Ji Xuefei said: "Do you need to tell me this? I have already sent a spy to accompany him every day."
Long Gongming nodded and said: "Now is the time to ask him to move."
Ji Xuefei shook his head and said: "This matter is not easy to handle. Lao Li has changed a lot. Last time, he refused to show your respect even if you wanted to meet him. He didn't want to see the old person. Who dares to take the initiative to get into trouble? I have been thinking about it these days. He was carefully pretending not to know that he was here." He added: "Back then, he went missing while visiting Guixu. Later, Bai Di Xuanhao brought back the news of the beginning of the apocalypse. The situation changed too fast. Without Lao Li, those of us who once The old subordinates had no choice but to sign up to join the Commander-in-Chief's camp. In the first few years, we had no choice but to do some things for the establishment of the Alliance. Other things were easy to explain, including the incident in the Lion City... ..”
"Forget it, stop talking." Long Gongming sighed and said, "It was an accident. If there is any responsibility, Lu Shaofen and I should be responsible for half of it. We have agreed that this matter will never happen." Forget it, now is a critical moment of life and death. You and I both know that Lao Li's strength may have the effect of turning the tide of the war. This is also the intention of the president to invite him out, so no matter how difficult it is, you must try at this time. For a moment..." (End of chapter)
