Chapter 178: Longyuan Qingjun Infection Area 2

"Gu Tingzhi now has two choices. He can either not close it down and fight with Jia Xianglan, eliminating the Qing army before the infected area expands to a certain extent, either by annihilating them or beheading them. The other choice is to close it down, but this will inevitably require sacrificing a squadron, and he also has to be on guard against Jia Xianglan deliberately ambushing them around the device..."

Jia Xiangying stared at Xu Lingqu's head in front of her as she spoke. "I think it's best not to close it. After all, although Long Yuan has more experience in urban combat and Gu Tingzhi is a more experienced commander, the Qing Army still has five S-rank soldiers... Covering the infected area might not be a bad thing for Long Yuan."

"What do you think? Xu Lingqu."

"I think you are right." Xu Lingqu replied without turning around.

Gu Tingzhi on the big screen was also thinking about this problem.

"We can ignore the infection device for now. If Jia Xianglan wants to shut it down, he definitely won't send people there himself. Instead, he will negotiate with me to send people there as well. Then we can consider issues related to the device. Let's take action against those in the Qing army according to the plan we made before the game." Gu Tingzhi looked at Long Yuan's three S-level soldiers.

Hu Yan, Duokeduo and Bai Qing.

Among them, Hu Yan is a newly recruited S-level first-level student, Duokeduo and Bai Qing are second-level students. They have cooperated well with Gu Tingzhi in the past year, and they have all grown up together.

Gu Tingzhi bumped fists with Hu Yan. "The opposing team has more S-class soldiers than us. I think your combat capabilities are much stronger than theirs. Once you pass the Qing Army stage, you can meet Moye in the finals."

The students of Longyuan in the East District began to search and investigate in the buildings, and gradually invaded and eroded the territory of Qingjun in the West District.

Hu Yan is also a sniper, but he has never participated in a shooting competition before. His shooting talent was discovered and cultivated after entering Longyuan. At this time, he found a very suitable hidden vantage point.

Moye watched the match, and what impressed him most was Liu Zheng's accurate shot against Dolanston.

As a sniper himself, he knew best how difficult it was to fire that shot, so he sincerely admired Liu Zheng and hoped that he could also fire such a gorgeous shot.

As expected, Jia Xianglan ignored the existence of the infection device at the beginning. He only gave the Qing army basic combat instructions and sent people to the vicinity of the infection device to see if Gu Tingzhi was stupid enough to send anyone there.

Unfortunately, he did not get the information that Gu Tingzhi had fallen into a trap, but instead received the news of the death of his first S-level soldier.

Gu Tingzhi has done some research on the combat habits, movement trajectories and combat styles of the five S-level soldiers of the Qing Army.

This deceased S-class soldier liked to chase people directly and had the habit of pausing when he encountered a corner during the chase.

Gu Tingzhi initially sent a team to invade the East District to search for his whereabouts, and after finding him, he directly exposed his position and let this person start chasing him.

During this process, someone in the team must sacrifice themselves, otherwise this S-level soldier might give up chasing halfway. He must be allowed to taste some sweetness before he can be lured into the trap carefully set by Gu Tingzhi, and then Hu Yan can successfully snipe him at a corner.

"A good start, great news." The audience cheered in the Empire Stadium.

"Gu Tingzhi has done very thorough research on the individual soldiers of the Qing Army. He defeated them one by one based on their different characteristics. This combat method is very much in Gu Tingzhi's style." Lieutenant Quan said with satisfaction.

"But if we set up bait like this, the number of people in Longyuan will decrease faster than that of Qingjun." Teacher Chang pointed out the hidden danger. In the end, if it takes two days to decide the outcome, the total number of people will still be the key.

"But this competition will take a long time, and the benefits of giving priority to hunting down the opponent's S-level soldiers will be reflected in the subsequent time. I think it is worth sacrificing the number of people I can accept to cut off a powerful weapon of the opponent. If this one is allowed to survive, the number of Longyuan students killed in two days will only be more than it is now. Gu Tingzhi also took into account the fact that this competition will last for two days before formulating such a combat strategy." Lieutenant Quan retorted.

"You're right." Teacher Chang nodded.

After the first S-rank soldier was killed, Jia Xianglan began to pace back and forth. He quickly warned the other S-rank soldiers that Gu Tingzhi was targeting them and told them to retreat and avoid the battle. He also ordered the rest of the Qing Army to launch a strong attack on Longyuan's eastern district, turning their passive position into active and seizing the battlefield's momentum back into the hands of the Qing Army.

Of course, Gu Tingzhi took into account Jia Xianglan's subsequent arrangements. He deliberately left a position in the eastern area that was easy to attack but difficult to defend empty for the Qing army to invade and occupy. He also continuously launched attacks but failed to occupy the position, making the Qing army think that they had defended it and refused to give up the position, thus depleting their numbers.

The Qing army thought for a moment that the problem was that they had not occupied the surrounding positions, and immediately sent two S-level soldiers to lead the attack and clear the area from both sides of the point they occupied. They wanted to seize this area in a row, compress and swallow Longyuan's living space, and it would be best if they could drag Gu Tingzhi out and behead him.

The two sides exchanged fire on the front line.

Jia Xianglan did not focus on the front line at this time. In the Qing Army Command Center, in front of him was a Qing Army student whom he sent to investigate the infection device.

This person had been infected. At this moment, he was trembling in front of Jia Xianglan, his face was pale, and cold sweat was pouring down his face. It was so exaggerated that it dripped directly onto the floor of the command center, forming a small puddle.

"At least ten people are needed to shut down this infection device." The infected student spoke incoherently, his teeth chattering.

At this moment, he was experiencing the pain of his body being eroded by toxins. His nerves seemed to be grabbed by someone and being tortured fiercely. With every passing second, his brain felt the pain of being pierced by a sharp knife, which was unbearable for him.

"Strange, why, why can't I be declared dead and withdraw from the competition." The student finally couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that he didn't withdraw before because he wanted to hold on and report to Jia Xianglan, but now he couldn't withdraw even after reporting. He was almost going crazy from this pain!

Jia Xianglan stood up, helped him to his seat, and asked with concern: "Are you unable to determine death and withdraw from the game?"

The infected person could no longer speak and had almost lost the ability to move. He nodded with difficulty and looked at Jia Xianglan expectantly, wanting him to come up with a solution.

Jia Xianglan patted his shoulder and said, "Rest here for now. I'll think of a solution."

He walked out of his command center and heard the news of another S-class soldier's death through the communication headset.

The deputy commander of the Qing army reported nearby: "Currently, the total number of casualties is 6, including two S-level soldiers. Long Yuan has lost 18 people, but the three S-level soldiers are still alive and well."

Jia Xianglan's expression turned cold: "Tell those people to come back quickly..."

This bunch of self-willed fools didn't listen to his orders and thought they were so powerful.

"But... I'm very happy that Gu Tingzhi is willing to play with me like this." Jia Xianglan smiled again. He looked at the deputy commander, "I need you to take people to the infection device."

"Do you want to close it?"

"No, let it accelerate the infection."
