The Northeast Army was defeated
Chapter 37
The place he returned to was the same place he came in, in the dining room.
The seats were deliberately placed farther away, for fear that he would bump into them when he came back.
Wei Huan stood in the middle of the room and could see the flagpole outside the door swallowed by darkness, as well as two soldiers on duty waiting anxiously in the open space.
"Wei Huan." Zhao Youming and his large black back turned simultaneously and walked over quickly. "The one that emerged from the spatial rift was a two-star dark beast. After we lost contact, we immediately contacted our superiors, but it will take them ten minutes to get here. I'm worried..."
Wei Huan nodded and interrupted him: "Arrange someone to lead the way, we will set off now."
"But we only have one aircraft left, the others are under repair..."
Wei Huan's mind moved, and a shadow descended over his head.
Zhao Youming subconsciously looked up, his pupils contracted, and his black wolfhound barked "Woof woof woof", with all its hair standing on end.
Wei Huan has summoned the Earth Beast on Blue Star more than once, but this is indeed the first time that the Earth Beast's true form has been exposed to humans.
Anyone who sees this huge, truck-like creature for the first time will feel a strong sense of fear and powerlessness.
But in reality…
"Yi~~"
The Earth Beast was delighted to be summoned again. It chirped lively and then stretched out its two front paws towards Wei Huan.
Wei Huan stepped on its long legs, and soon his vision rose to the white back with a black spot.
Wei Huan looked down at him and asked, "Who will lead the way?"
At this time, the two people and one dog in the base finally reacted.
Zhao Youming swallowed his saliva: "I, I, I will go!"
At Wei Huan's command, the Earth Beast stretched out its long legs towards Zhao Youming.
Zhao Youming looked at the huge white bones and the rich power contained in them, swallowed his saliva secretly, gritted his teeth, and followed Wei Huan's example, climbing onto the back of the ground beast tremblingly.
The German Shepherd was circling on the ground anxiously, making "hmm" sounds.
Without waiting for the ground beast arranged by Wei Huan to catch it, the black back suddenly ran about 30 meters away, turned back, and jumped up from a distance.
It was more than five meters high and he jumped up easily.
As an animal companion of the hunter profession, its strength will of course be enhanced.
The Earth Beast stepped out with its eight legs and stood on it, as stable as standing on a bus moving at a constant speed.
The gate of the base was opened, and soon the figure of the blood beast disappeared into the darkness.
Wei Huan finally looked back at the base. There was a large area of sky above. The ghost crows that Wei Huan had left to protect Mu Zhong would be the first to know about any unusual changes.
But these ghost crows couldn't leave him too far.
"How far away?"
"About three kilometers."
"……good."
After Wei Huan's profession was upgraded to level two, the distance between his summoned creatures and him reached 3 kilometers.
And as he continued to enter the professional temple, the distance was increasing little by little, and now it was about 3.3 kilometers.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if it exceeds the distance.
Nowadays, everyone has a car, so when danger comes, there is no problem in getting into the car to protect yourself.
What is more worrying is that if a garrison team like Guo Xiang's is not strong enough but has to fight because of its duty, there will often be sacrifices.
The speed at which the ground beast ran was not slower than that of the aircraft, and was even much faster.
However, walking on the ground was affected by the terrain after all, and in the end it still took them about four minutes to reach their destination.
Zhao Youming's fingers were cold with anxiety, and he had been holding the hunting rifle tightly in his hand since the beginning.
He said: "We detected a dark energy reaction there this morning. The squad leader took people to check it out. There were only cracks, no signs of dark beasts, so we reported it according to the procedure.
I was on duty in the monitoring room tonight when the alarm suddenly went off, indicating that the dark energy was very dense, the highest I had ever seen.
When the squad leader took people to check it out, I said to report it first. The squad leader said we should talk about it after we finish checking it out, and then he took people away.
Before you came out, I received the last message from the squad leader, saying that the crack was still at the same spot as this morning, but it was bigger than ever before, and asked me to notify the higher-ups.
I notified them, but I couldn't contact them anymore. I knew something was wrong, so I found Captain Mu and asked for your help."
The whole world knows Wei Huan's current strength. He is able to suppress the second level alone, and he also has an achievement called "Dark Beast Nemesis".
This strength is even stronger than that of the superior base, so it is no wonder that Zhao Youming would look for Wei Huan.
After hearing this, Wei Huan said, "I understand."
Zhao Youming saw that Wei Huan had a cold face and his phoenix eyes behind his glasses were a bit cold and mean. He didn't look like a warm-hearted person at all.
Just as I was feeling nervous, a quack sound suddenly rang out in the dark sky.
The sound was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to penetrate directly into the eardrum, and the head felt as if it was being hit by a hammer.
Zhao Youming and his dog collapsed on the spot.
Of course he also knew that this was Wei Huan's ability.
Now the Challenger Forum is flooded with posts filled with videos of Wei Huan fighting.
It was like an endless stream of undead skeletons, accompanied by the irritating "quack" sound. Watching the video was already very uncomfortable, but I didn't expect that actually hearing it would pierce my soul even more.
After enduring for a while, the bird's cry finally disappeared.
When Zhao Youming stood up again, he found that he had been surrounded by undead spirits for some time.
These undead spirits ran swiftly beside the earth beasts. The green flames in their eyes were the most eye-catching light in the darkness. The rest was blurry like a cloud of smoke, gathering and dispersing intermittently.
Zhao Youming opened his eyes wide and could barely see in the moonlight that all those running things were white bones.
There are skeletons of running wolves, hidden cats, and violent bears.
Those dark beasts that made challengers shudder in the challenge world turned into loyal servants of mankind after their death and returned from hell.
Zhao Youming felt that this was a very strange and scary feeling, but at the same time he felt it was very enjoyable.
The former enemies became his lackeys, killing their former compatriots involuntarily and repaying their deep hatred with a sea of blood.
good!
The undead army was like surging waves, rushing forward with a roar, and then shrill screams were heard not far away.
There are wolves howling and bears roaring.
Zhao Youming knew that the undead could not make any noises, they could only open and close their jaws, making a "clicking" sound.
This means that the shouting came from the enemy.
Thinking of this, Zhao Youming's face changed.
In other words, the dark beasts that appeared this time included not only running wolves but also violent bears?
If the two-star violent bear is also a lord violent bear that has experienced the lord trial and awakened its bloodline, not to mention that their small garrison is not enough to deal with it, even if the superior garrison sends troops, they will probably be defeated here.
What about the squad leader and the others?
Thinking of this, the passion I had just felt instantly faded away.
The cold of the night penetrates into the bone marrow.
The speed of the earth beast slowed down until it finally stopped. Zhao Youming glanced at Wei Huan and jumped to the ground.
The uneven ground almost broke Zhao Youming's leg.
He stumbled forward in the darkness, ignoring the skeletons of the undead around him, until he smelled the scent of blood.
"Squad leader?" His trembling voice was damp as he spoke. "Xiao Zhang? Lao Hang? Squad leader! Squad leader, answer! Who of you, answer?"
Under the moonlight, there were scattered pieces of flesh and warm blood flowing.
The staggering Zhao Youming suddenly felt blood on his hands, and jumped up suddenly as if he was electrocuted.
Then he slowly knelt down and touched the headless and footless leg in front of him.
The suppressed cry poured out from the throat.
Wei Huan seemed to see his former self in that crying figure.
It's always like this, getting to know each other, accompanying each other, and then separating. Living with the hatred of every comrade, until I close my eyes.
"Quack, quack!" The ghost crow cried again, like a mournful funeral.
But Wei Huan's expression suddenly changed.
"If there's anyone alive, take me there!"
The order was even spoken directly.
When Zhao Youming heard Wei Huan's voice, he felt like he had grabbed the life-saving reins and hurriedly followed.
Only half of the moon was left tonight, and the view in the mountains was blurry. Zhao Youming held a flashlight in his blood-stained hands, lighting the road ahead, and there were also white skeletons that were moving out of the way.
After passing through a bush, large sections of trees in front were broken, and traces of fighting were everywhere after violent collisions.
Then a huge monster slowly moved towards them.
There was a crisp sound of dead branches and leaves crunching on the ground as the body crushed them.
This size and aura undoubtedly came from a violent bear.
Without the protection of the car, being so close to the violent bear feels like being under the pressure of its natural enemy.
Zhao Youming nervously raised the hunting rifle in his hand and took aim!
There was despair and determination in the blood-stained eyes.
But soon, he found that the violent bear was dead.
The deformed giant fell to the ground, with fishy blood flowing under its brown and black hair.
The three violent bear skeletons bit its fur, pulled it backwards, and slowly slid past him. Zhao Youming's sight met those six eyes that were still open.
After the violent bear's body was dragged away, the two people who were hidden were revealed.
"Brother Zhao..." A weak and trembling voice came from the darkness.
Zhao Youming shone his flashlight over and exclaimed in delight: "Squad Leader! Xiao Zhang!!!"
…
The helicopter arranged by the superior station flew away.
Inside were squad leader Guo Xiang, who had lost half his arm, and Xiao Zhang, who had survived unharmed thanks to the protection of the veterans and the old squad leader.
Wei Huan cooperated with Zhao Youming to help Lao Hang collect the body.
Since they couldn't collect all the bodies, they cut open the stomach of the violent bear and found half of Lao Hang inside.
Most of the superior rescue team stayed behind to deal with the scene.
They could remain calm when facing the corpse of the running wolf, but when they saw the violent bear, their expressions couldn't help but change, and their eyes looked at Wei Huan with a bit of heat.
But now is obviously not the time to get acquainted. The sacrifice of an old soldier has made the air so thick that it seems impossible to breathe.
Wei Huan's face was as cold as ice, and his whole body exuded an aura that kept people at a distance.
In fact, the course of the battle is easy to guess.
Guo Xiang brought his men over and discovered the running wolf first.
The three of them worked together to kill the wolf, and they had the ability to do so.
But they didn't know that there was a smart and cunning bear hiding in the forest. The moment they finished fighting and relaxed, it attacked and bit Lao Hang directly.
Lao Hang's desperate resistance before his death delayed for a while, and squad leader Guo Xiang's escape and fighting finally led to the arrival of the undead army.
There is an unwritten rule among the Challenger garrison: those who are married and have children go to the front.
Guo Xiang stood in front of Xiao Zhang.
Young people are hope, young people are sparks, and young people have a brighter future.
While Wei Huan was tidying up Lao Hang, he touched his chest, which felt stuffy and hot.
He is also the remaining "spark".
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
When it was almost dawn, Lao Hang was put into a box and sent on a returning helicopter.
The treetops were bent by the strong wind. Wei Huan watched the beam of light that broke through the sky as the helicopter flew away, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Until then, a hand reached out and was handed to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan turned around and looked at the captain standing in front of him.
A female captain with neat short hair and heroic appearance.
The female captain does not have delicate and fair skin on her face, nor does she have rosy and moist lipstick on her lips. Her hands are even more calloused, and her fingers are so thick that even if she applies the most exquisite manicure, it would be a waste of her natural skin.
She had a faint, almost invisible polite smile on her face, her eyes were dark and bright, and she stood tall like a towering tree.
"Hello Wei Huan, nice to meet you. My last name is Wang, Wang Juan."
Wei Huan shook the hand: "Hello, Captain Wang."
After Wang Juan was polite, her eyes were filled with scrutiny: "Why are you here?"
Wei Huan asked back, "Is there any problem?"
Wang Juan shook her head: "No, but I must know why you are here."
Wei Huan thought about it and realized there was nothing to hide: "Commander Dong and I have an appointment to meet at this base."
"Trading supplies?"
"right."
Wang Juan's eyes sparkled instantly. She saluted Wei Huan and said in a resounding voice, "Thank you!"
At once, all the challenger garrisons looked over.
Wei Huan's face was tense, his ears felt hot, and he said stiffly, "It's my duty."
…
When Wei Huan returned to the base, Mu Zhong was waiting for him in the open space, with two strangers standing beside him.
Of the two men, one was strong but short, with a nose as high as an eagle's beak, while the other was tall and thin, young and cheerful, like a university student.
But Wei Huan smelled the scent of strength in them.
Perhaps he was an officer sent from above to investigate.
Wei Huan was still immersed in the grief of the night and had no intention of exploring. He glanced at the two of them and then looked away.
Mu Zhong patted Yinmao's forehead and came to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong, then at his legs, and a sudden feeling of sadness surged in his heart.
He bent down, gently hugged Mu Zhong, and said, "After awakening Sequence Five, you can stand up."
Mu Zhong smiled faintly, and he patted Mu Zhong with his backhand, gently comforting him.
Wei Huan felt the coldness on his fingertips. He let go of Mu Zhong, touched the back of his hand, and raised his eyebrows.
It's colder than ice.
More like a dead person than his undead skeleton.
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "The chances of stray dark beasts appearing are increasing. In the past few years, there were only a few per month, but now there are several per day. This time, there were even two at once, and even a violent bear appeared."
Wei Huan felt that something was wrong with Mu Zhong: "Yes, the wild is becoming more and more dangerous."
Mu Zhong said, "While the level of the wandering dark beasts has increased, the strength of the enclave's garrison has remained unchanged. The fundamental reason is that the high-level development progress has stagnated, and effective resources cannot be distributed. This has led to grassroots challengers being afraid to open high-level boxes and lacking resources to upgrade.
Once you fall into such a vicious cycle, it will only get worse.
In the end, the garrison troops were unable to stop the wandering dark beasts. The dark beasts found the city and attacked ordinary people. Civilization was overthrown in just a moment.
Everyone will die.”
As Mu Zhong spoke, Wei Huan looked through his glasses and saw the striking image of "depression" flickering before his eyes.
The collapse of civilization is the ultimate pessimism.
Wei Huan grabbed Mu Zhong's hand, tightened it little by little, and looked into his eyes: "No."
He secretly vowed that this would never happen again.
"But..." Mu Zhong's lips trembled slightly. He seemed to be trying his best to endure it, but he was ultimately powerless. He said almost collapsed: "Lao Hang is dead, Captain Zhang is also dead, as are Liu Yaqi and Zhao Qin. Just yesterday afternoon on the battlefield, the fifth-level lord declared war on the Northeast Army. On the front battlefield, 3,211 challengers were killed and the front was forced to retreat 16 kilometers. So, Lao Hang is dead.
Wei Huan, the Northeast Army also needs us. I know what you want, and the Northeast Army can give it to you. If you stay here, you will get the greatest room for development, enough to realize your ambitions! "
Wei Huan stood up when he was halfway through listening.
With a blank face, his brain was working at high speed.
In the history of the previous life, did a war occur today? Or did it end in human defeat?
It seems... there is...
In my memory, wars are always a game of wins and losses, and every once in a while, there will be a report on the number of casualties.
No names, only cold numbers.
If you watch it for too long, you will become numb.
But he did remember that the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, Hong Gang, was suddenly reported to be seriously injured and in a coma shortly after he participated in his first road challenge.
After that, the Northeast Army was in chaos for a long time due to the issue of power transition.
For this reason, the Northeast Army, which had always had the most challengers registered, has been ranked last in terms of recruiting new soldiers since that year.
From then on, it declined and became the worst of the four challenge legions.
This... is probably the reason why Wei Huan has always had a bad impression of the Northeast Challenge Army.
so……
"Is Commander Hong Gang also injured?" Wei Huan asked without thinking too much.
Mu Zhong was stunned by the question, "What?"
He subconsciously looked at the two people behind him.
"Yes, Commander Hong is seriously injured and unconscious and is being rescued." The one who answered them was Commander Dong's secretary.
The other party didn't know how long he had been listening. He stood at the door and said this, still holding the phone that had been hung up not long ago.
He looked at Wei Huan in confusion: "How did you know this absolutely confidential information?"
It turned out to be true, I was not mistaken.
Wei Huan saw the paleness on Mu Zhong's face, and he hesitated to speak, so he asked for him, "Where is Commander Mu?"
The secretary said, "The left wing under Commander Mu's charge was less affected by the dark beasts. Aside from the serious damage to five Level 4 vehicles, the casualties were not high. However, 11 excellent special operations team members were killed. Among them..."
At this point, the secretary glanced at Mu Zhong and sighed, "The appearance of the violent bear tonight is indeed related to the situation on the battlefield. We, Daxia, have lost 60,000 square kilometers of territory in the northeast."
Finally, the secretary said meaningfully, "So after daybreak, will you still go with us to the Southwest Army?"
Mu Zhong also looked at Wei Huan.
He didn't say anything. He didn't think he had the qualifications to tell Wei Huan whether to stay or go.
But...he really wanted to go back to the Northeast Army to take a look.
The tall and thin young boy, who had been holding it in until now, finally couldn't help but pointed his finger and asked cautiously, "Can I not go?"
Another short and strong man also extended his hand: "Sorry, we met from a distance yesterday afternoon.
Unfortunately, we received a sudden notice and were asked to rush back to Challenge World immediately."
Wei Huan remembered.
It was the two soldiers who came and went in a hurry.
They were so anxious that they even left the "beacon" in mid-air.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Wei Huan shook his hand.
Captain Wang continued, "We are very familiar with Mu Zhong, so you are one of us. Let me talk first.
As you heard, something unexpected happened yesterday. Five fourth-level Dark Beast Lords declared war on us, but during the battle, two five-star lords suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Among them was the Dark Beast King who had just been promoted to the fifth level, and the eight-star fifth-level lord he had secretly trained.
No one expected that they would leave their territory and focus on attacking Commander Hong's chariot, trying to break through our defense line and break out of the defense line of human civilization.
The serious injuries and dying of Commander Wei Huan and Hong, as well as the soldiers who sacrificed their lives, tell us a lesson.
In this battle, there is no front line. The flame of humanity must light up every corner of the Great Wall and never go out, so that our friends and relatives can survive.
Can you please stay?
The Northeast Army desperately needs your participation."
The secretary standing by was scratching his head anxiously. It was definitely unethical to snatch someone away at this time, but he really couldn't bear to do so.
When Commander Dong comes out and finds out that he has lost the person, he will scold him to death.
The secretary stepped forward and said dryly, "The Southwest Army welcomes talented people."
Liu Xiaotian was indignant: "You all already have You Wuyi, why are you so greedy?"
"The pressure of combat is too great over there. Even if we have a lot of geniuses, it won't be enough."
"That old dark beast isn't pinned down at your place. It even came over to our side yesterday. And you're still talking about whether or not the pressure is high? Tell me, who isn't high these days? From yesterday afternoon until now, I've been so angry I've cried so many times. Look at my eyes, they're swollen like walnuts!"
Liu Xiaotian poked his eyes and pushed his face against the secretary's face.
The secretary retreated a bit, helplessly saying, "But we've already confirmed Wei Huan's whereabouts. Shouldn't we at least let Commander Dong know about this?"
"Commander Dong has Commander Mu to explain. I don't care. Even if I act like a spoiled brat today, I'm still going to take him away. Don't make me roll on the ground! I'm telling you, even I'm afraid of myself when I get angry!"
"...You're cheating, and you think you're justified?!" The secretary didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but finally fixed his gaze on Wei Huan's face. "It all depends on my opinion."
Liu Xiaotian blinked his eyes and glanced at Mu Zhong, who looked anxious but didn't dare to speak. He silently rolled up his sleeves, pulled up his trousers, and came to Wei Huan.
He squatted on the ground and hugged Wei Huan's thigh.
Not moving.
Wei Huan: “???”
Liu Xiaotian didn't say anything.
You all want to save face, and you are too embarrassed to speak up. I'm fine, I don't care about face, I'm fine with anything.
