Chapter 11 Enemy Within
When Qi An saw Lu Yunbai at the gate tower, he wasn't heading out of the base, but rather towards the watchtower in the southeast corner of the base.
The close-in defense reconnaissance unit on the south side sent a battle report at 7:30:
Several groups of Fallen Insects gathered in the east, south, and west directions of the base and are marching towards it. The total number is estimated to be over 3,000, with the closest group already 20 kilometers away.
The three-story watchtower is topped with a close-in weapon system (CIWS), and next to it is the base's only concealed laser defense turret, making it very safe.
The three-story square building on the top of the tower has a good view and is fully equipped; when the power is on, it becomes a command center.
The drone projected images from the front lines onto a large screen, and the 1st Regiment Commander simultaneously reported to Lu Yunbai:
"Yesterday's surprise attack severely damaged the nano-defense network at several strongholds along the 10-kilometer defensive line. There's no time to repair it now, so I ordered the personnel who were being relieved there to retreat to the 5-kilometer defensive line."
The three surrounding farms had just been planted, so there was nothing to damage them.
The original garrisoned teams remained in place, while I assigned both the Hurricane and Wolf Pack teams to their strongholds in the inner farm.
Lu Yunbai nodded. The arrangement was prudent, reasonable, and beyond reproach.
"The defensive network along the 5-kilometer line was completely repaired the day before yesterday, and the Snow Falcon Squad of the 2nd Regiment filled in the three strongholds of South 1, South 3, and South 4."
The remaining half of the troops remained on standby at their strongholds within a 1-kilometer radius.
Without enough high-level Wisps to hold the line, this wave of insects won't be able to get into the inner circle.
The 2nd Regiment Commander had a broad and cheerful appearance, and his voice was indeed not worried at all; he was very optimistic.
The 3rd Regiment commander simply stated, "The 3rd Regiment also has 15 mobile squads on standby at its bases, ready to provide support to all strongholds at any time, and capable of carrying out decapitation strikes..."
At this point, he suddenly thought of the Wind Riding Team 2.
But 3,000 fallen insects are not enough to make him or any high-ranking officer lower themselves to invite those troublemakers.
......
Qi An, who was never noticeable among the troublemakers and didn't get much scolding but still received a lot of criticism, had already noticed the unusual situation at the hospital.
She could sense that the Fallen Insects had appeared in the building!
This is the hospital, the very heart of the base! With Teacher Tang leading the purification practitioners on patrols, how could there be Fallen Insects?!
But then, as Qi An was staring at Chen Xi, she sensed that the number of fallen insects in the hospital increased from 1 to 9 within two minutes!
She was keeping an eye on Chen Xi because Chen Xi actually had the responsibility of keeping an eye on Chen Yuezhou and could directly contact their "half-father".
So these days, apart from occasionally meeting with Chen Yuezhou, either for a reason or secretly, and attending gatherings with the team members and the purifiers, she has spent almost all her time with Chen Xi, just to avoid him interfering with Chen Yuezhou's surgery.
Even with so many guards at Chen Yuezhou's door, if Chen Xi wanted to, he could still break through to the operating room and cleave the door open with a single stroke!
But the surgery was in progress, and Chen Xi did not rush forward to pull out the knife; he just stared at Qi An.
His gaze was like a raging fire scorching Qi An, but Qi An sensed danger:
"Go down and get the gun," she said.
Chen Xi was slightly taken aback, her dark eyes locking onto Qi An even more intently.
"Go down and get a gun! There are worms in this hospital! There are already more than a dozen!"
"I will protect your lives, and I am only responsible for your lives." Qi An shouted the first sentence, and said the second sentence while looking at Chen Xi.
Chen Yuezhou's situation is a matter of life and death, so she will help him. If Chen Xi were in such danger, she would also help Chen Xi. She protects their spirit and destiny.
Chen Xi's anger turned into stunned silence, and then, at Qi An's shout, she darted downstairs.
Many people are still puzzled by Qi An's roar:
"How could there be worms in a hospital...?"
But then a sharp cry rang out, and then it became a chorus of cries!
Questioning turned into shock, and then into bewilderment.
There really are fallen insects!
Qi An ran to the window at the end of the corridor and looked down.
The side door of the outpatient department was like a gate that suddenly opened, releasing a large amount of white foam.
The medical staff in white screamed and ran out, with two fallen insects mixed in among them. Their tentacles would hook onto one and cause it to mutate!
There was a loud crashing sound downstairs, along with human voices and the screams of insects, and also upstairs!
A tentacle even appeared on the stair railing, but it was instinctively shot dead by a battle-hardened team member.
Qi An, however, could see what was happening inside the operating room through the small window.
The surgery has stalled. The interference around us is now far more severe than before, and the contamination levels of both the doctor and Qin Tianshuo are definitely rising!
Qi An could see from here that Su Qingran's eyes, which were in the assistant's position, were at the level of level 2 mutation!
At the critical moment of life and death, such an outrageous and terrifying accident occurred.
This hospital has become a breeding ground for pollution!
Calm your heart! Suppress your panic! An unexpected event must be dealt with! They still have a trump card!
Qi An went straight into the emergency storage room at the end of the corridor, looking for sterilization supplies and disposable surgical gowns.
"I'm going into the operating room; leave the defense to the captain!" she said.
Yu Shuang saw the situation below the window with her, and without her saying anything, she took a deep breath and began to make arrangements:
"Gu Liansheng, give me the contact information of all the team leaders. I'll quickly create a group chat, and all team leaders will join the collective voice chat and listen to my instructions through their headsets!"
On the battlefield of the Mother Nest, Yu Shuang was the temporary commander besides Chen Yuezhou, so no one objected to or disagreed with her command.
In fact, Zhao Bohan had already used Yu Shuang's phone to add people to the group. There were dinners and hunting trips, and Yu Shuang basically added all the members of the Martial God team who had a phone.
Gu Liansheng shot the fallen insect that had climbed up the stairs with his pistol and quickly filled in the gaps in Zhao Bohan's knowledge.
A communication group for the intranet and backup Starlink network was immediately established, and collective voice communication was activated. Yu Shuang's voice rang simultaneously in the corridor and on the mobile phones of several squad leaders:
"Send three people with a speed enhancement level of 8 back to Dongying with Zhuang Xiao. They will go to the logistics department with the people who stayed in Dongying to get guns and enough ammunition!"
Then we met up at the hospital.
Those who remained were divided into three groups to clear out the fallen insects on this floor and the floors above and below, and to seal off the corridor entrance!
We must not let the fallen insects invade the corridor before the rest of us arrive!
This methodical order immediately gave the bewildered people direction, and once they found their way, the group crammed in the corridor transformed back into elite special forces soldiers!
The entire Martial God Team 3 was in the hospital. Gu Liansheng handed over command authority to the deputy team leader, and selected two fast men to grab Zhuang Xiao, catch the hunting rifles that Chen Xi threw up, and break out of the encirclement.
Zhou Yanhui was somewhat unfamiliar with Yu Shuang's command, but he did not want to replace Chen Yuezhou's prestige in stabilizing the overall situation. With the lives of the brigade in mind, he obeyed the command and distributed ammunition.
Their team of eight was responsible for security. They appeared to be in plainclothes when they entered the hospital in the morning, but they were actually fully armed. The tattered canvas bag at the operating room entrance was full of gun parts and fully loaded standard magazines.
Zhou Yanhui had just been at the window and killed the two contaminating insects that were chasing the doctors downstairs, thus slightly slowing down the terrible contamination trend.
The three groups were quickly divided up. Fortunately, there were quite a few purification masters here, including Lin Jiaran! The pollution levels of the team members were guaranteed.
Qi An had already washed her hands and wrapped herself in her surgical gown. During this time, she called Teacher Tang to confirm that she had encountered danger in the emergency department, but had been protected by hospital security and several lightly injured soldiers, and was temporarily out of danger.
Judging from this situation, even if nothing major happens for now, something major will happen soon. Qi An directly handed the phone to Chen Xi:
"Please help me pick up Teacher Tang, and if possible, protect her and the hospital's sanitation workers as they come to this building."
The situation here has certainly been reported, but the official response is unknown, and there is still fighting outside.
But if all their people arrive, they should be able to seal off the building and make it a safe haven in this hospital that has suddenly turned into hell!
We'll adapt to whatever comes next!
