Forty-fifth minutes after the "spacequake" ended, at the "Frost" Fortress Command Center.
Rows of black screens lit up again, and various devices resumed operation one after another.
General Rybnikov grabbed the communicator on the command desk, took a deep breath, and tried to dial a code.
He hadn't had much hope.
But the communicator only rang twice before it was connected.
Rybnikov was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, and there was no emotion in his voice.
"How's it going?"
On the other side, a slightly bewildered response came from the general of "Plan One".
"General, this is very strange."
Rebnikov's brows were knitted together, and his tone became colder.
"I need a battle report, not your personal feelings, Lieutenant General."
"yes!"
The lieutenant general's voice immediately became clear and powerful.
"General, the Fifth Army has followed your orders and has not retreated a single step."
"But we encountered no enemy."
"Even the monsters that were previously entangled with the 22nd Division on the right flank retreated voluntarily more than 20 minutes ago."
Rebnikov tightened his grip on the communicator, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm absolutely sure!"
The lieutenant general's voice was firm, and he added, "It's just that they haven't really left."
"I sent out scout vehicles to observe, and they reported that the monsters are still gathering at the edge of the gray fog, seemingly... surrounding something."
"But there are too many monsters over there, and visibility is low, so the reconnaissance team doesn't dare to go too deep."
Rybnikov rubbed his wrinkled temples. "Where's the drone?"
"It's all broken, Your Excellency General," said the Lieutenant General.
Rybnikov ordered, "Connect the data link as soon as possible. The fortress will release the reconnaissance aircraft."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and turned to give orders to the staff officer behind him.
"Release the Peregrine Falcon immediately. I want to know what exactly happened on the battlefield."
"yes!"
The order was passed down quickly.
In the command hall, Ma Baoguo and other senior generals all turned their eyes to the largest main screen in the center.
The images sent back by the drone soon appeared on the screen.
At first, it was the familiar fortress edge foothills.
Ten minutes later, the camera swept across a simple position.
Many sharp-eyed people recognized the numbers and logos on the mecha.
"Is that the 22nd Division?"
"Hiss—so miserable..."
"The soldiers actually just dug foxholes."
The suppressed discussion of the staff could be heard.
......
The drone continued forward.
After more than a minute, a large number of abyss monsters appeared in the camera.
They covered the entire black land as far as the eye could see, like boiling asphalt, twisting, rolling, squeezing, and converging in the same direction in a dark mass.
A suppressed gasp was heard in the command hall.
It is hard to imagine what would happen if a monster of this size attacked the 22nd Division.
But why did they turn?
What attracted their attention?
The drone flew into a thin gray fog and the operator was forced to lower the altitude.
Suddenly, an area of white, gold, red and black light interwoven together suddenly appeared at the edge of the picture.
"Turn around!" Rybnikov ordered urgently.
Then, the camera twisted and everyone finally saw clearly.
In this area, there seems to be endless brilliance flowing, brilliant and gorgeous.
And around it, no matter how strong or weak, big or small, the monsters will melt like ice and snow as long as they enter this area.
The moment he saw this thing, Ma Baoguo felt a little numb.
There was also a noticeable tremor in Rybnikov's voice.
"Zoom in! Circling and observing!"
Following his command, the drone camera began to zoom in and the picture gradually became clear.
On the main screen, in the center of the four-color field, a half-destroyed "Chess-M" heavy mecha stood quietly.
There was a person sitting on the top cover of the mecha.
The man was wearing the standard light armor of a Chinese Army general, with his legs crossed. He held a brown paper bag in his left hand, and reached into it with his right hand, and then...
She pinched out a melon seed, put it to her mouth and started cracking it.
Snap!
Everyone felt that they were hallucinating...
This scene is absurd yet a little funny.
General Rebnikov opened his mouth, slowly turned his head, and looked at Ma Baoguo below with an unprecedented complicated expression.
Ma Baoguo had a blank expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Meeting Rybnikov's gaze, he shrugged ungracefully and spread his hands.
The old man stretched out his hands, rubbed his cheeks, and sighed: "It seems that it is time to prepare an 'Arctic Alliance Hero Medal'..."
-----------------
After Li Wei finished cracking the last melon seed, she clapped her hands with satisfaction and glanced at the panel.
[Essence of the Abyss: 1079w]
When she saw this number, her heart skipped a beat.
She had previously guessed that she would need about 500,000 essence points to reach the sixth level.
Then, when it comes to Wuxian, the "experience" requirement increases tenfold. Without considering the initial progress, it only consumes 1000w.
【Can I reach the top in one step? 】
