"Mom, are they here to protect us?"
A seven-year-old child asked, clinging to his mother's arm.
"Baby, they are here to protect us." The mother touched her son's head and said softly.
"Yeah." The child nodded, then showed an expectant look and said, "Mom, can I give them some food?"
"Be good, baby. We can't disturb them. They have food."
The child's mother was stunned for a moment, then stroked the child's forehead and said lovingly.
"Um."
The child nodded obediently.
"Honey, the clone soldiers are here, shouldn't we make some preparations?"
In an ordinary residential building, a woman said to a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"What are you preparing for? Haven't you already prepared everything you need to prepare?"
"We have supplies, firearms, three generals, and dozens of soldiers."
"If a monster comes, just fight it. Why should I be afraid?"
The middle-aged man glanced at his wife, then continued to drink tea and watch TV, not caring at all about the turmoil outside.
"Humph, look at what you're capable of. Do you think a monster is so easy to deal with?"
The woman glared at her husband and said unhappily.
"Dad, I just went to the basement to check the supplies. Everything is fine. We have enough supplies to support our family for a year."
In another residential building, a young man in his twenties walked in from the door.
"Well, that's good. From now on, it depends on the efforts of our entire family to see if we can survive by chance."
Hearing his son's words, the father looked up at him and smiled.
"Haha, Dad, I believe it will."
The young man smiled and said in an affirmative tone.
"Yeah, I believe that too."
"By the way, why hasn't your wife come over yet? Doesn't she want to stay at her parents' house and not come back?"
The middle-aged man asked with concern.
"Dad, look at what you said. She's my daughter-in-law. How could she possibly stay at her parents' house? She just called and will be back soon."
The young man said with a smile.
"Oh, that's good." The middle-aged man nodded and continued drinking tea.
...........
The same scene is happening all over the country.
Faced with the impending disaster, most people in Qing Dynasty remained calm and rational, some even became excited.
They all knew that fear or terror was useless, and that only by uniting and facing the situation bravely could there be a glimmer of hope.
Night falls.
On the cliff outside the shelter, Lu Ping looked deeply at the sea, his thoughts in a tizzy.
"Spirit of the weapon, the beasts are about to descend, don't you have any good suggestions?" Lu Ping asked.
"Master, this matter is too serious and there are too many uncertainties. The spirit of the weapon cannot make an accurate deduction." The spirit of the weapon replied.
"So there are no suggestions?"
"Well, we can only leave it to fate." Lu Ping sighed.
"Master, although the spirit of the weapon cannot deduce, it is based on the general trend. Your safety is always in the spirit's heart." The spirit of the weapon suddenly said again.
"Oh, how did you take it to heart? Tell me about it." Lu Ping raised his eyebrows.
"Master, in fact, the greatest danger you face now is when the beasts arrive."
"The herd is at its largest size at the beginning of its arrival. If the master can avoid the initial limelight, the danger will naturally be much smaller later." said the spirit of the weapon.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then what?" Lu Ping said.
"Master, the spirit of the weapon can make the entire island disappear for three days without being discovered by the beast tide, thus ensuring your safety." The spirit of the weapon replied.
"Make the island disappear? Are you sure?" Lu Ping asked in shock.
"Of course I am sure, but the spirit of the weapon can only last for three days." said the spirit of the weapon.
"Haha, weapon spirit, I was right about you." Lu Ping said ecstatically.
The spirit of the weapon was right. The most dangerous moment was when the beasts first arrived.
Because the arrival of monsters is completely random, whether on land or in the sea.
The island of Luping is located alone in the sea, and there are hundreds of thousands of people on the island. It is conceivable that it will become the target of the beasts.
Even though Lu Ping had made sufficient defenses and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, they were nothing compared to the beast herd.
Once discovered by the beasts, Lu Ping could hide in a shelter to ensure his survival, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command would definitely die.
These soldiers were hard-earned by Lu Ping, and they were not going to die in vain.
Of course Lu Ping took all this into consideration. He had originally planned to cram all the soldiers into the shelter. The shelter was large enough to accommodate them even if they squeezed together.
Of course, this squeeze is really squeeze, the kind that makes you can only stand and not sit.
Now the spirit of the weapon can actually hide the island for three days, which is simply perfect and solves a big problem for Lu Ping.
Of course, from another perspective, Lu Ping's actions are somewhat self-serving and detrimental to others.
If the sea beasts cannot find an island as their target, they will inevitably shift their target to land.
In other words, it will be transferred to Donghai City, and the pressure will be transferred to Qing State.
But Lu Ping couldn't care less about so many things. His own life was the most important thing.
The key point is that no matter whether Lu Ping resists or not, the herd will eventually rush to the land.
Even if Lu Ping resists, what's the use of hundreds of thousands of soldiers?
It would only take a few minutes for them to be destroyed by the beasts, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.
What's more, the Qing military had already made preparations and had built a steel Great Wall along the coastline, and there was more than one.
In addition to the coastline, fortifications have also been built in coastal villages and towns.
So from this perspective, it can't be considered as shifting the blame onto others.
Lu Ping’s biggest wish now is that there won’t be too many beasts landing in the sea.
If there are too many, it will be useless even if the island is invisible for three days.
By then, Lu Ping would have to stuff them into the shelter.
.........
Right now.
In the southwest of Qing Kingdom, hundreds of large ships were sailing forward on the vast ocean.
One of the largest battleships, the deck was filled with clone soldiers and some officers.
The leading general had a pair of particularly prominent hooked noses. He was Chen Ming, the deputy commander of the Qing Navy. On his left and right were several staff officers and adjutants. They all had serious expressions and solemn faces.
"Commander, we will reach the designated sea area in another hour." The adjutant walked to the deputy commander and whispered.
"Well, pass the order down and speed up the journey." Chen Ming said after pondering for a moment.
"yes!"
The adjutant saluted and hurried away.
Soon, hundreds of large ships increased their speed and rushed towards the target sea area.
At the same time, in a city in the south.
Dozens or even hundreds of engineering teams hurriedly boarded the helicopters that came to pick them up and left.
Behind them, small nuclear bombs had been buried underground.
