#104 - Alert! Fatal!!
Chapter 106: Alarm! Deadly!!
“This is the Extraordinary Association of Lu'an City. We are now broadcasting an emergency evacuation notice to all units and regions. Please citizens, immediately proceed to the nearest shelter for evacuation. Repeat, citizens of all regions, immediately proceed to the nearest shelter for evacuation…”
The loud broadcast echoed for a long time in the sky above Lu'an City.
Accompanying it was the piercing sound of air raid sirens.
Hearing the evacuation notice in the broadcast, the already frightened citizens became even more panicked!
“What's going on? What happened?”
“There must be a space-time rift nearby.”
“Hurry! Go to the shelter!”
“Ah? My child is still at home, I have to pick up my child.”
“Honey, what should we do?”
“The road is blocked, abandon the car, don't take anything, go to the shelter first…”
The timid were so frightened that they cried loudly, those with a more level head immediately took their families and ran towards the shelter.
Car horns, shouts, cries, curses… it was a chaotic mess.
Everyone was scrambling to escape.
Soon.
The streets fell into chaos…
President Song had already sent a conscription message in the name of the Extraordinary Association to all extraordinaries in Lu'an City.
Zhao Zheng's new phone also received the message.
The message had already explained the disaster level and the response plan.
Official support will arrive in half an hour. Everyone only needs to cooperate with the military to hold on for half an hour.
Of course, whether to respond to the call is entirely voluntary for the extraordinaries.
Generally, in this kind of situation, most extraordinaries will respond to the call.
After all, if the monsters break through the defense line and invade the city, those in the city will also suffer.
As long as they can assist in the defense and help the city overcome the crisis, everyone will receive major rewards for their contributions afterward.
If they are afraid of death and dare not come, they won't be held accountable after the officials overcome this crisis, but they will definitely expel those who didn't come from the association.
If they are expelled from the association, their reputation will be ruined and they will be boycotted by their peers.
They won't be able to find good teammates for exploring spiritual realms in the future.
At this moment.
Many extraordinaries in the association building had already taken up their weapons and were preparing for battle.
Including President Song!
As the president, he usually enjoys great benefits, and in the face of such a crisis, he must be the first to step up.
President Song himself is not a person who is afraid of death.
In fact, at this moment, he was full of fighting spirit, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
Because he has a deep-seated hatred for monsters!
His wife died in the disaster brought by the monsters.
“Xiao Chen, in principle, we shouldn't issue a conscription order to you since you just joined the association.”
President Song came to Zhao Zheng's side and said sincerely: “But now the situation is critical, and Lu'an City needs high-end combat power support, so I, on behalf of the association, hope that you can take action and help us. Just hold on for half an hour, and the support from above will arrive.”
Zhao Zheng immediately stood up and said solemnly: “President Song, when something like this happens, regardless of whether I am a member of the association or not, I am duty-bound!”
He must be duty-bound!
This is his hometown.
His parents and family all live here!
Hearing this.
President Song looked at Zhao Zheng with admiration.
“Okay, time is of the essence, I won't say any polite words. Xiao Chen, what weapons do you need? You can go to the warehouse to get them!”
“No need.” Zhao Zheng said: “My fists are my weapons!”
It's not that he is arrogant.
But he has never learned how to use weapons, and with his current skills, they all need fists to be used. If he really takes up a weapon, he won't know how to use it, and it's not as good as his fists.
Hearing Zhao Zheng say this, President Song immediately said: “Then let's set off now!”
Afterward.
President Song took Zhao Zheng to the yard behind the association building.
There is an association's dedicated transport plane here.
It can accommodate up to a hundred people.
At this time.
The transport plane was already full of extraordinaries.
Some of these extraordinaries were young, some were old, and there were even two elderly people in their sixties or seventies…
Everyone's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The compatriots in this world still have chivalrous hearts.
Unlike on Earth, where everyone is indifferent and minds their own business.
Of course, Zhao Zheng also knew that this was not because people's hearts were bad.
The Xia Kingdom on Earth used to be a place where help came from all directions when one place was in trouble…
It was because some people who only cared about making money and did nothing allowed the evil winds and evil qi to grow wildly, eventually evolving into an impersonal society.
In short, Zhao Zheng prefers it here now.
“President! President…”
Everyone greeted President Song.
President Song also nodded frequently to the crowd.
After he took Zhao Zheng on the transport plane, he immediately ordered:
“Depart!”
The transport plane took off on the spot and flew towards the direction of the space-time rift.
This was Zhao Zheng's first time on a transport plane.
He only had one feeling: it was very fast!
In less than two minutes, it flew out of the city.
From afar, Zhao Zheng could already see a huge rift stretching for two kilometers in the distant sky. Countless huge monsters were emerging from the rift, rushing straight towards Lu'an City.
These monsters were extremely ferocious, each with a terrifying and hideous appearance. Any one of them appearing in the city would turn into a disaster.
And now, tens of thousands of monsters were charging forward, forming an extremely powerful momentum!
Inside the cabin, all the extraordinaries who saw this scene had solemn expressions.
If these monsters were allowed to rush into Lu'an City, it would probably only take twenty minutes to destroy the entire Lu'an City!
But it would probably not be easy to stop these monsters.
Everyone knew that there would definitely be a tough battle to fight today!
Soon.
The transport plane began to descend.
An army had already set up a defense line here.
This army is usually stationed near the city, specifically to deal with emergencies, so the number of people is not large, about three thousand people.
It is definitely impossible to rely on these three thousand soldiers to stop so many monsters.
In addition to the military personnel, there were also many vehicle formations and small transport planes parked next to them…
Not far away, more vehicles were driving towards this side from the direction of the city.
Of course, those who can rush to support at this time are extraordinaries.
When President Song walked out of the transport plane.
Three middle-aged men walked forward.
One of the middle-aged men, wearing a military uniform, should be the commander of the military.
As for the other two, they must be the fifth-order powerhouses of Lu'an City.
The three of them had known each other for a long time, and the situation was urgent, so everyone did not say any nonsense when they met.
“Old Song, hurry up, we're just waiting for you.”
The muscular middle-aged man on the far left beckoned President Song to walk towards the defense line.
President Song pulled Zhao Zheng along: “Xiao Chen, you come too!”
Zhao Zheng naturally would not object and followed.
The group came to a table.
There was a very simple sand table on the table.
The previous muscular man immediately asked: “Old Song, you are the president, you tell us, how should we fight this battle today?”
President Song immediately looked at the military commander: “Of course, we must listen to Commander Zhou when it comes to fighting.”
Commander Zhou then said: “Then we will use conventional tactics. When the monsters enter the warning line, we will first launch a long-range firepower coverage attack to disrupt the monsters' charging formation. The extraordinaries will then follow up, and our people will continue to provide fire support to eliminate the monsters. If powerful monsters appear, then the few of us will hold them back!”
This Commander Zhou is also a fifth-order powerhouse.
Hearing Commander Zhou's words, the people present nodded.
“President Song, is this young man your junior?”
The previous muscular man noticed Zhao Zheng and asked.
Hearing this, President Song immediately introduced to everyone: “His name is Chen Ye. He is a strong man who just joined the association today. Don't look at Xiao Chen's young age, his destructive power has already reached the fifth-order standard.”
Hearing this, several fifth-order powerhouses looked at Zhao Zheng in surprise.
Being able to reach the fifth-order at such a young age is definitely one of the best among the extraordinaries.
His future is limitless.
Afterward, everyone's eyes became pleasantly surprised.
They would not have any doubts about President Song's words. President Song could not be joking at this time. The help of another fifth-order powerhouse would definitely increase their chances of winning.
“Xiao Chen looks like he's only in his early twenties, right? Truly, the younger generation is to be feared!” Commander Zhou immediately praised him.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Suddenly, a terrible roar came from the distance.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Commander Zhou and others picked up their binoculars and looked towards the direction of the monsters.
In the binoculars, they saw a behemoth charging towards this side.
“Trouble!” Commander Zhou's face was ugly: “Judging from this momentum, it's at least a fifth-order monster!”
Being both fifth-order, humans and monsters are vastly different.
A fifth-order monster can crush a human fifth-order expert in a one-on-one fight. To suppress it, at least seven or eight human fifth-order experts are needed.
If they encounter a tricky fifth-order monster, it would probably take a sixth-order human powerhouse to possibly eliminate it.
President Song and others also had ugly expressions.
“No matter what, we can't retreat, we must hold on for half an hour!”
The other three nodded silently.
…
The monsters seemed to know that there were people here.
They desperately pounced towards this side, following the scent of humans.
No one knows why they hate humans so much…
After a while.
Even ordinary people could clearly see the monster army surging like a tide.
Commander Zhou immediately ordered: “Fire!!”
Instantly!
Various cannons fired.
For a time, the sound of “boom boom” explosions continued to ring out.
Large patches of exploding sparks appeared in the distant monster army.
The power of modern firearms was undoubtedly displayed at this moment.
Commander Zhou did not let the gunners aim at the fifth-order monsters.
Because he knew very well that unless it was a nuclear bomb, conventional artillery fire was useless against fifth-order monsters.
The fact was indeed the case.
Some of the shells landed on the huge fifth-order monsters, but they had no effect at all, not even breaking the skin.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng felt that with his current defense, he didn't even need to use Armament Haki. With just his Steel Body, he could be immune to the attacks of these artillery fires.
It's not that these artillery fires are weak, but that his body is too strong.
…
