The earth-shattering explosion did not occur. The short, fat man pressed the button several times in a row, but there was still no explosion.
Suddenly, two drones appeared in the sky, carrying two high-powered jammers.
"Baka! Baka yarou!" The Japanese soldier glared angrily at the drone, pounding the ground repeatedly...
Inside the ancient street.
A line of text appeared on Wang Xueer's multi-functional jammer: If I hadn't intervened, you would all be finished!
"Everyone evacuate immediately, quick!"
The crowd was immediately evacuated.
Once everyone had evacuated, Wang Xue'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Tian, Brother Tian, I'm so sorry, I almost killed everyone!"
Li Tianyi was very puzzled, his head full of question marks.
Wang Xueer gave a brief explanation.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that they were still alive.
"Brothers, immediately move everything you can use and get out of this hellhole! Be quick, be very quick!"
"Yes, I'll go myself!"
Ma Youshan broke away from the ranks and took command of the entire New First Battalion...
While they were busy, Li Tianyi was not idle either. He entered the high-rise building alone and collected all the supplies he could take into his system space.
Along the way, they also obtained several treasure chests, including: 100 boxes of tNt, 100 boxes of detonators, 30 heavy machine guns of various models, 5 armored vehicles, 10 troop carriers, and a certain amount of living supplies.
Half an hour later.
They left the old street area, and Quan Shengli immediately took control of the drone to leave.
Boom! Boom!
Explosions were happening all over the ancient street, mushroom clouds were shooting into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the violent shockwaves made people's cheeks sting.
"Kwon Sung-ri, I'll give you the credit for this!"
"Kwon Sung-ri, you're my real father!"
As it happened, Quan Shengli was facing the spy satellite screen and heard everything clearly. He rolled his eyes at Fu Ren and said, "You're older than me and you want to be my son? Dream on!"
He forgot that he was connected to the entire New First Battalion via microphone at that moment, and everyone heard him.
"Hahaha!"
"Company commander, they don't want you as their adopted son because they think you're too old!"
"I want it, I want it!"
Ha ha……
Fu Ren wasn't angry. He looked at his brothers who had survived the ordeal with a smile, then suddenly turned around and saluted Quan Shengli.
Everyone followed suit and bowed.
Kwon Sung-ri quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Outside the communications room.
Shangguan Shasha and Qin Yufei stared intently at the big screen, giving the entire New First Battalion a thumbs up.
Once his gaze shifted and settled on Li Tianyi, it never left his eyes.
...
Half a day later, in the council chamber of the outer shelter.
Li Tianyi and the others had gloomy expressions, smoking cigarettes, and none of them spoke first.
A few minutes later, Ma Youshan looked up and said, "Companies, report on casualties!"
"In the first company, three were seriously wounded, nine were slightly wounded, and no one was killed!"
"Second Company: One dead, seven seriously wounded, and fifteen lightly wounded!"
"The Third Company suffered six dead, twelve seriously wounded, ten slightly wounded, and four with minor injuries!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyi stood up abruptly, tears welling in his eyes, and saluted Dai Xiaohu and the others, saying, "You brothers are all outstanding!"
The three returned the greeting and embraced each other, weeping bitterly.
Although the New First Battalion won this battle, it was only a narrow victory. The entire battalion suffered about 70% casualties, a result that no one could accept.
It's unclear how much time passed before they returned to normal.
After watching them leave, Li Tianyi immediately contacted Luo Shan.
He rushed over.
"Brother-in-law, I've got something for you to see!"
Luo Shan took the phone, watched the video, and his long-held resentment finally dissipated. "Damn Japanese devils, I'll kill you all, exterminate you all, ah..."
"If you want revenge, then train harder!" Li Tianyi pointed at the New First Battalion. "You've seen the enemy's situation. Without solid strength, what are you going to fight with?"
"If the new recruits don't reach the level of veterans within a month, Luo Shan will pay with his head!" He patted his chest and made a solemn pledge.
"Brother-in-law, don't blame me for being heartless, I really don't want to see my brothers die tragically again!" Li Tianyi turned his head to wipe away his tears, his heart heavy with sorrow.
"I see!"
Li Tianyi patted him heavily on the shoulder, "Please!"
...
It's 11 p.m.
Everyone in the shelter gathered to observe a moment of silence at the hero's monument.
"The ceremony is complete!"
Li Tianyi's gaze swept over the crowd. "These heroes sacrificed themselves for everyone. If you have any conscience left, pick up a gun and avenge them!"
"Revenge, revenge, revenge..."
The people's anger and desire for revenge were ignited.
"I want to join the New First Battalion!"
"I'm signing up too!"
"Me too!"
...
Except for those over sixty, everyone else joined the training...
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
With the shelter residents now back on track, Li Tianyi finally felt relieved and leisurely wandered around.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the special training ground.
Shangguan Shasha, Qin Yufei, and others are undergoing special training and are working very hard.
"Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well give it a try!"
After Li Tianyi joined, the training program changed. Shangguan Shasha and Qin Yufei could barely keep up for two hours, but then they completely fell behind.
"You can do it, Xiaoyu!"
"You can do it, Sasha!"
They fell several times, but each time they got up, supporting and encouraging each other, gritting their teeth and persevering...
After finally making it to the end of training, they collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even blink.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll train team combat!"
After giving the order, Li Tian left without looking back.
In the days that followed, the training intensity increased, and the two girls persevered with their strong willpower, successfully completing a month of special training.
"Congratulations on successfully passing the assessment and officially becoming members of the search and rescue team!"
The applause was continuous.
After the two women saluted everyone, they bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your careful guidance, comrades. We will definitely work harder in the future and strive to reach your level as soon as possible."
"I believe you can do it!" Li Tianyi smiled and nodded at the two of them.
Meanwhile, the recruit training mission had also ended, and except for about ten less intelligent people, all of them were assigned to the new battalion.
After this group joined, the new battalion could barely be considered a fully-fledged battalion.
Li Tianyi and Ma Youshan were overjoyed and immediately prepared a party. Everyone in the shelter participated, singing and dancing, creating a lively atmosphere.
The senior executives surrounded Li Tianyi, toasting him until he was drunk and Luo Shan carried him back to his room.
The party continued, lasting until late into the night.
Li Tianyi, who was drunk, suddenly woke up with a splitting headache and a dry mouth. Just as he was about to get a bottle of water, the system's electronic voice came through.
"Ding! The Crimson Gold Treasure Chest has been successfully opened. You have obtained: a super laser shield (approximately five kilometers in size) and a high-tech building material (foldable, compressible, as light as a feather, and with 20 times the defensive power of ordinary steel and cement) tNt300 boxes."
He quickly looked towards the bed, where Shangguan Shasha was gazing at him with a happy expression, softly calling out, "Husband!"
"No, this?" Li Tianyi tried hard to recall his memories after getting drunk, and some scattered memories were rapidly being reassembled.
Suddenly, Shangguan Shasha wrapped her arms around Li Tianyi's neck and quickly sealed his lips with hers...
