(Please subscribe and vote monthly)_3 “Among them are primarily Sakura Island, Korea Island, and our Shanghai region! We have already announced this to the world.”
In just a few short sentences, He Xingzhou startled the entire nation’s audience!
“What?? The Zerg are going to attack so soon?”
“Oh my god, why is it Shanghai! I’m right in Shanghai!”
“It’s too fast, our Steel Great Wall isn’t even finished yet! How can we defend if the Zerg attack now?”
“How many Zerg are there, can we stop them?”
“It’s over, it’s over!” At this moment, everyone was too concerned to pay attention to other places!
He Xingzhou continued, “As for the number and scale of the incoming Zerg, we are still determining. But to ensure the safety of Shanghai, we must act immediately.”
“So, we need to mobilize the nation’s resources here to support Shanghai, enabling the Steel Great Wall in the Shanghai segment to be completed in the shortest time possible!”
“Currently, Shanghai needs workers, architects, doctors, and other related personnel, as well as earth, sand, stone, steel, and other construction materials. We will announce the specific projects in detail shortly.”
Qin Peng continued, “Effective immediately, the fleet will be deployed near the Yangtze River estuary for defense! Each department will redeploy ground troops and air forces to Shanghai for defense! Our Xuanwu Army will also be deployed en masse to the front lines of Shanghai!”
“Everyone, this will not only be our first encounter with the Zerg but also a matter of life and safety for over 20 million people, concerning the safety of the entire land!”
“Therefore, we hope everyone will cooperate with the defense plans! Let us all protect Shanghai together!”
Their announcement shook the entire nation.
Various reports spread wildly on the internet.
“The Zerg are going to attack Shanghai!”
“The Xuanwu Executive Officer has broadcasted to the nation, asking for national support!”
“Shanghai urgently lacks construction resources and manpower, the Steel Great Wall isn’t finished yet!”
“We’re about to go to war with the Zerg!”
Tension, anxiety, panic, concern—people reacted differently.
But there was one thing everyone understood: Shanghai was the key point for Shen Zhou to block the oceanic monster invasion, and it could not be lost!
At the Xuanwu Base, 200,000 soldiers were gathering. They had just learned this news, and the soldiers assembled as quickly as possible.
These 200,000 were all the soldiers currently at the base, while soldiers from other Xuanwu Bases had long been redeployed to other regions.
Faces resolute and determined looked at the training ground, where He Hongwei was making the final deployments.
He said, “When the land troops arrive, their first task is to build a defensive line along the coast. We can’t be sure when the Zerg will arrive, nor whether the Steel Great Wall will be completed in time—this defensive line is the first line of guarantee!”
“The naval forces, together with the fleet, will immediately seal off the estuary, even if it means blocking the Yangtze with ships and nets, not allowing a single Zerg to come in from underwater!”
“Aerial forces will conduct comprehensive air reconnaissance, assist in material transportation… There are also mutant creatures in the sky, and you must patrol the airspace continuously for 24 hours. Any flying mutant creatures spotted must be shot down!”
“Warriors, the Xuanwu Army was established precisely to combat the Zerg!”
“These monsters will kill, they will eat humans; are you afraid?”
“Not afraid!” the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!
“We have trained for three years, prepared for three years, for this very moment! The time has come for our country and people to test you!”
“Take up your guns, brandish your cannons, and together, we charge to the front lines to defend Shanghai!”
“Charge to the front lines, defend Shanghai!” the soldiers shouted in unison, their voices soaring into the clouds!
All over the country, similar scenes were happening; hundreds of thousands of troops were urgently redeployed to Shanghai and nearby areas for defense.
