Lu Chengchuan and his companion went straight to the airport, where the plane had been waiting for a long time.
"Did any monster appear?"
"Not yet. There's just poisonous gas coming out of the metal gate. Now it's become a no-man's land over there. The troops controlling the area have all retreated to the back."
After they left, the government sent an army to guard it.
Just half an hour ago, the metal gate that had been silent suddenly opened wide, and poisonous gas gushed out instantly. Many soldiers were unable to escape and were knocked to the ground by the poison, and many died.
"The captain is coming over. It's faster for us to go through here."
The two got on the plane and Qian Xiaoling told him some of the situation.
Because of the poison gas, the army could only keep moving backwards, and only when the poison gas stopped would they have a chance to set up a defense line.
The plane flew northwest. An hour later, Qian Xiaoling received another call from the captain.
"I know, we are still in the sky, and it will take at least an hour..." After two seconds, Qian Xiaoling's face turned ugly and his tone became anxious.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chengchuan asked after she put down her phone.
"Monsters are rushing out of the gate. There are so many of them, and many of them are powerful. The army has suffered heavy losses, and the monsters are rushing towards the city. The captain is asking when we can arrive."
Qian Xiaoling said in a panic.
What you fear will come true. They are still in the sky. It will take at least an hour for the plane to land, and it will take time to get to the battlefield. There is nothing they can do even if they are anxious.
Monsters appeared and the defending soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
This is not good news. Once monsters enter the city, the army's weapons of mass destruction will be useless.
The plane flew in the sky, and after an hour, they seemed to be above the city, but they could only see the clouds on both sides and had no idea what was happening on the ground.
"The military has sent someone to pick us up at the airport. Just follow them."
As the two got off the plane, a green military vehicle pulled up beside them. The middle-aged soldier in the vehicle turned and looked at them: "Is this Mr. Lu and Ms. Qian? I am Cheng Fei, the staff officer of the Northern Desert Theater."
Qian Xiaoling walked over and said, "It's us. What's going on now?"
"You two come with us first, and we'll discuss the details later. I came here in a hurry and don't know a lot of things." He was ordered to pick someone up at the airport, and he didn't know the situation on the front line.
The military vehicle quickly left the airport and sped out of the city.
Qian Xiaoling took out her tablet and searched for news online. She soon found an official news live broadcast.
"I'm currently in Arke, the capital of the Northern Desert Province. The situation is critical. Residents of Arke are requested to stay home and remain at home. Trust the army to protect us..."
Monsters attacked the city, and the Alke City Government had no choice but to let residents take shelter in their homes temporarily.
A few minutes later, they arrived at a place a few kilometers outside the city, where many soldiers gathered, and various weapons and equipment appeared in the desert.
"Are you planning on sniping monsters here?"
Seeing the soldiers getting ready, Lu Chengchuan asked the staff officer in the car.
"Yes, the army must keep the monsters out of the city. I know how powerful you are, Mr. Lu, and I hope you can help us." Cheng Fei nodded. This was the plan.
"How do you know the monsters will come from the front? The desert is interconnected and there's no way to defend against it."
Unless they let the army surround the city, they still have to worry about whether the monsters will rush into the city from other directions, which will make it difficult to return to the rescue.
"The reconnaissance plane has been flying over the monster army. We are sure that the monsters are coming from this direction."
Cheng Fei was thinking about how to answer when an old man with a dignified and steady temperament appeared. It was Dong Guian, the commander of the Beimo War Zone. They had met before, and now he came over to tell Lu Chengchuan the movements of the monsters in person.
"Commander Dong!" Cheng Fei raised his hand and saluted.
Dong Guian nodded to him, then looked at Lu Chengchuan: "Mr. Lu, we meet again."
It has been more than half a year since we last saw each other. During these days, there has been no abnormality with the metal gate until this morning, when it suddenly opened.
"Hello, Commander Dong." Lu Chengchuan greeted him first, then asked, "How far away are the monsters from us? Have you seen any special monsters?"
"The monsters are about an hour away from us. I'm not sure what you're talking about specifically. Our reconnaissance planes can only hover at high altitudes. Once they get close to the ground, they'll be attacked by the monsters. We've lost several reconnaissance planes."
Dong Guian shook his head. He was not very sad about the loss of the plane, but the plane crashed and did not bring back any useful information. Even if he had a wealthy family, he could not lose it like this.
"I'll go check ahead, be careful."
Lu Chengchuan thought for a while and decided to go out and take a look.
"There are a lot of monsters here, don't take any risks." Dong Guian hurried out to stop him. He knew that Lu Chengchuan was very powerful, but there were so many monsters, what if they were surrounded.
"Don't worry, I know how to get out of this situation."
Lu Chengchuan picked up the Mo Gu Sword and disappeared from the spot in an instant. Dong Guian wanted to say something, but he was not given the chance. Looking at the empty place, Dong Guian could only shake his head.
Lu Chengchuan was not his soldier, so he had no authority to order him to do anything.
In a breath, Lu Chengchuan moved away from the defense line and soon saw the monsters rushing towards the defense line.
The dense monsters stretched to the horizon, with no end in sight. Lu Chengchuan stood in the distance with a sword in his hand. The monster running in the front noticed him and instantly sped up its running speed.
The monster seemed tireless and ran for several minutes before rushing in front of him.
Lu Chengchuan looked at them. Most of the monsters looked like a combination of humans and animals, as if humans and animals were forcibly fused together by some force after death.
The irrational monster charged at humans. Lu Chengchuan raised his hand and slapped it. The monster that rushed up was smashed into countless pieces by the罡气.
Hundreds of monsters were killed by his palm, but more monsters rushed towards him.
Lu Chengchuan stood in place, and his internal energy strangled the monster crazily. The broken limbs and fragments piled up quickly, and a wall of flesh and blood slowly surrounded Lu Chengchuan in the middle.
In less than ten minutes, he gained several decades of life, but the army of monsters was getting closer and closer. Lu Chengchuan waved his hand to kill the monster that jumped in, and his body instantly disappeared into the ground.
He disappeared without a trace, and the monsters that rushed in couldn't find anyone and could only roar in place.
At the army's defense line, Lu Chengchuan left for a few minutes, and the reconnaissance plane saw a group of monsters breaking away from the main force. They surrounded a man, and Dong Guian and the others knew that the man was Lu Chengchuan.
"He's surrounded. Do you want to support him?"
When the military staff saw that he was surrounded, they hurriedly asked the commander.
Before Commander Dong could speak, Qian Xiaoling on the side said, "No need, he'll be fine."
Qian Xiaoling's words left everyone confused. Dong Guian watched for a while and decided to hold back and wait and see what kind of person Lu Chengchuan was and what cards he had to dare to confront the monster.
