A moment later, an elderly man in military uniform emerged from behind the rows of tanks and armored vehicles. His chest was adorned with numerous medals, his steps were steady, and his eyes revealed his indomitable spirit and determination.
He walked up to Chu Wanwan, gave a crisp military salute, and said in a loud voice, "I am the highest commander here, General Li Weiguo. May I ask if you are immortals?"
Li Weiguo was originally a Chinese soldier who did not believe in gods and ghosts, but when he witnessed these people descending from the sky and killing large numbers of monsters with a wave of their hands, he had no choice but to believe in these mysterious things.
Chu Wanwan nodded in response, indicating that she understood the other person's identity, and then briefly introduced them:
"We are immortal cultivators from the Immortal Realm, searching for these demons. These demons are beyond the capabilities of humans. You need not participate in future battles. In the time to come, do your utmost to send all humans underground, including the soldiers!"
Hearing Chu Wanwan's words, Li Weiguo felt a surge of complex emotions.
He knew all too well that in recent years, humanity had paid a heavy price in the battle against demons, and that every warrior and every innocent civilian was a line of defense built with their own flesh and blood.
Cities were reduced to ruins, civilization regressed, and every corner of human society was filled with pain and despair.
However, Chu Wanwan's words also brought a glimmer of hope. If these immortal cultivators could truly defeat those demons, then humanity might genuinely have a chance to escape this endless nightmare.
"Good! We will all go underground as soon as possible. On behalf of all the people of China, I, Li Weiguo, thank the immortals for saving us!"
As Li Weiguo spoke, he gave Chu Wanwan and the others a standard military salute, which the other soldiers followed suit.
"No need for such formalities." Chu Wanwan said, turning to the assembled immortal cultivators: "Si Mingye, Yun Che, you two take all the Chaos Realm experts and guard the spatial rift. Don't let a single demon escape!"
"Alright!" Si Mingye said, leading the strongest beings of the Immortal Realm into the air, directly flying to the spacetime rift in mid-air that was flashing with colorful light.
"The Tribulation Realm experts will be led by Bai Ze and Chi Yan to escort all the people of China to the underground entrance."
"yes!"
"Master Wuyouzi, lead the remaining cultivators to search for and kill demons with all your might. I will stay here in this city. If we encounter any high-level demons, send someone to report immediately!"
After ten years, Wuyouzi has upgraded to a Void Realm expert, and his talent is considered formidable among immortal cultivators.
"good!"
Everyone accepted the order and left the area.
Li Weiguo also instructed his men to spread the news of moving to the underground city. Before the demons arrived, due to the large-scale war, many countries had built underground shelters.
The Huaxia Kingdom has built underground cities in major cities across the country. Most of the survivors now live in these underground cities. The only ones who need to be evacuated are military soldiers and militias spontaneously organized by the people.
"General Li, could you tell me about the current situation in various countries?"
Chu Wanwan turned around and looked at Li Weiguo, asking him a question.
"Now, apart from China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, which still have the ability to fight against demons, the survivors in other countries have all gone underground."
In fact, before the demons arrived, there were constant wars. Massive nuclear radiation rendered food unusable, famine killed half of humanity, and another two-thirds of the remaining population perished. Various natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, and tsunamis, occurred frequently, as if nature was punishing humanity.
The appearance of the demons only exacerbated the situation, plunging the entire world into chaos. They are ubiquitous and numerous, and despite our best efforts, we have suffered heavy losses. Currently, only our three major powers remain in the fight against the demons, but the situation is still dire. Many smaller nations, lacking sufficient resources and manpower to combat them, have been forced to send their survivors underground for survival.
Li Weiguo spoke in a heavy tone, his eyes filled with worry and helplessness. He continued, "Although we are still persevering, we don't know how long we can hold on. Your appearance this time is undoubtedly our last hope."
"Who started the war?" Chu Wanwan had lived in such a world, so she loathed those war criminals.
"Initially, in order to contain our country's development, the United States deployed advanced weapon systems and stationed troops on a large scale in Japan and H countries. It also launched an attack on our country's navy, which posed a huge threat to our country."
In order to protect itself, my country had no choice but to retaliate. Later, as the conflict escalated, more countries were drawn in, ultimately leading to a global war,” Li Weiguo explained.
Chu Wanwan nodded upon hearing this.
Just like the world she lived in in her previous life, the United States was a source of insecurity for the entire world.
"So what's the current situation between Japan and H country?"
Chu Wanwan continued to ask.
"Japan is an island nation. Years of war have caused the continent to collapse, and now the entire country has sunk. H country is not faring much better. Its population was already small, and many people died because of war and disaster. Now it has encountered demons. I estimate that the remaining people will either starve to death or be eaten by demons. Even if there are survivors, they will be very few."
Li Weiguo sighed and said.
"I see!"
After listening, Chu Wanwan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is this the capital city of China?"
"Yes!" Li Weiguo sighed and replied, looking at the ruins of Kyoto.
Chu Wanwan nodded, then asked about their military region's combat command post, and then followed Li Weiguo to the combat command post.
The combat command post was located in a subway station. At each subway exit, heavy iron gates were welded on, and soldiers with guns were guarding them.
The command post looked impenetrable, but Chu Wanwan knew that the iron gate couldn't stop the demons' rampage. Fortunately, the subway station was interconnected, so even if one subway entrance was captured, there were other passages to escape through. This was why the military command post was located here.
Chu Wanwan continued along the military command post and found that there were quite a few soldiers there, at least five or six thousand. At this moment, they were advancing rapidly northward through the subway tunnel.
Because of the lack of electricity and the extreme scarcity of various resources, the subway has long been out of service. The subway stations have now become underground passages for Kyoto, from which one can reach various military bases in Kyoto, as well as a huge underground city built outside Kyoto.
"General Li, leave behind a soldier who is familiar with the underground environment of Kyoto City, and you can all retreat to live in the underground city." Chu Wanwan looked at the environment of the command post and said calmly.
The so-called command center is actually a subway station that stops here. Because there is a generator here, the command center is brightly lit. Although the conditions are simple, they are acceptable.
"yes!"
Li Weiguo then said to the guard behind him, "Xiao Liu, you stay here and follow the immortal."
"yes……"
