Chapter 207 Can You Take Responsibility, Boy?
"Captain, I want to join you."
There was no one around at the entrance of a tunnel inside the base. Old Song dragged his seriously injured body to see Ye Qi off.
Only Old Song knew where Ye Qi was going.
After Ye Qi leaves, if someone asks, Lao Song will say that the captain is repairing the mental energy consumed in beating the drums and cannot show up for the time being.
If Ye Qi did not return for a long time, or did not return at all, he would announce at an appropriate time that the captain had died due to excessive mental depletion.
This was decided long ago.
But before leaving, Old Song was reluctant to let Ye Qi go.
"We were the only two of us left in the investigation team that came to City C. Captain, you were going to die, so why didn't you take me with you?"
Ye Qi said: "We all know that dying is easy, but living is hard. I'll leave the hard work to you."
"team leader……"
"Time is tight, I'm leaving now."
Ye Qi reached out and shook hands with Old Song. After a quick shake, he let go.
He turned and entered the tunnel.
This was one of several tunnels discovered during the subsequent investigation of the surrounding area after the Golden Rat invasion. It was discovered that the Chu family, a drug dealer, had secretly dug it within the community to facilitate their shady dealings. After the apocalypse, it was used by the enemy to attack the base.
The bad guys have been around since before the apocalypse, and now that the world is ruined, they are even more unscrupulous.
The burden on good people's shoulders is heavier.
There are some things you have to do even if it costs you your life. Even if you may not succeed, you still have to do it.
Old Song saluted Ye Qi's back.
After Ye Qi's figure disappeared in the dark tunnel and even his footsteps could no longer be heard, Old Song closed the tunnel entrance and limped back to the base.
The other end of the tunnel exited on the street, hidden by the ruins. The base members did not know that Ye Qi had left, nor did they know that there was a greater crisis in the distance.
"Team Leader Song, why did you run out? Go back and recuperate! You are seriously injured!"
The lightly wounded soldiers he met on the road all tried to persuade him.
"Hey, walk more and recover faster. I'm in a hurry to prepare for the next battle!" Old Song answered with a smile, without mentioning Ye Qi.
"Next time, we won't need you to take care of the seriously injured ones. We have plenty of newly awakened ones!"
"Yes, we have awakened so many people at once, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy next time we fight!"
"Once we've rested and recovered, we'll go straight to their lair. Why should we let them make the first move?"
The base is still full of fighting spirit. The heavy casualties have made everyone want to eliminate the enemy who is destroying everyone's stable life.
But can we really destroy the enemy with more than a hundred awakened people?
The Mother of God Temple in City C still has many believers and high-end combat power. The exact number is unknown, but they seem to be able to replenish quickly.
For a moment, Lao Song wanted to tell everyone, "We can't win." But when he saw those faces full of fighting spirit, he swallowed the words back.
Fight to the death, die in excitement in blood and pain, or be killed by the enemy in fear after learning the truth? He couldn't make a choice for them and could only act according to the plan.
Old Song was helped back to the medical center to continue recovering from his injuries.
When everyone had left and he was left alone lying on the hospital bed, he took a deep breath and remained silent.
Outside of City C...
When Ye Qi arrived at the plain a hundred kilometers away late at night, the sound of gunfire was already deafening.
Abandoned farmland, vast expanses of wilderness, interconnected lakes and puddles, and low hills in the distance...
Under the starry sky, everywhere you look is a battlefield.
The remaining fighters from various provinces and cities in the eastern region gathered at the official bases to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the enemy.
It's more like going to die.
Because the battle was one-sided.
Large numbers of soldiers fell, and the enemy's offensive line was pushed forward quite easily.
"Ye Qi, didn't you just run away from the battlefield?"
When Ye Qi met the battlefield commander, Commander Deng, he was yelled at in person.
"You even stole a combat machine! How are you going to get back on a motorcycle? Where's the bird you stole?" Division Commander Deng kept a close eye on the battlefield. In between issuing orders, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Ye Qi. "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now. Don't tell me you lost the bird. That was the last machine. Look up at the sky! All eight of our combat machines have been destroyed. Now the sky is full of the enemy's mechanical birds!"
Ye Qi said, "I'm going back to the C City base to help. I left my machinery there when I left. Commander Deng, the C City base cannot collapse. If it collapses, this side will be finished too. The soldiers at my base will continue to fight to the death. We'll hold out for as long as we can. Also, I brought a recording device and some loudspeakers. Please send someone to find a way to transport them to various locations on the battlefield!"
Commander Deng's angry curse was interrupted by Ye Qi's subsequent explanation.
The snow-white-haired teacher was shocked and his eyes widened.
Finally, he was stunned for a moment, pointed at Ye Qi's nose and said: "You kid, if what you said is wrong, if the situation is not like that, can you bear the responsibility!"
"I can't afford it. But, it's death anyway, Master, let's take a chance."
Ye Qi's face was very calm, with purple rays flashing in his black eyes, which meant he was accumulating his own energy.
"Commander, I'll go and attract the enemy first."
He leaped out of the temporary command post in the trench and rushed into the crowded battlefield.
Thick lightning pillars with a diameter of half a meter appeared around him one after another.
It is more lethal than the exploding artillery fire. Wherever Ye Qi goes, a large gap will appear in the enemy camp.
Our previously broken offensive and defensive lines were repaired one after another with his help. Soldiers who got the chance rushed forward one after another towards the enemy who were in disarray after being struck by lightning.
"Kill that man first!"
The enemy's leader ordered the awakened ones to move closer to Ye Qi.
So more and more supernatural powers were cast upon Ye Qi, including ice, fire, water, stone, thunder, and dark corrosive light... Countless long-range attack skills were all directed at Ye Qi.
There were also melee awakened enemies who ran over and tried to kill Ye Qi.
These awakened enemies were originally scattered throughout the battlefield, but now they are gathered together, which reduces a lot of pressure on our soldiers in other places.
"Who's that over there? So strong!"
"I know that lightning is the leader of the base in City C!"
"He seems to be the strongest awakener among us!"
"Quick, everyone, charge and seize the counterattack opportunity he created for us!"
Our soldiers, in combat units of hundreds of people, charged forward fiercely in waves.
There was a brief moment of chaos on the one-sided battlefield.
It's not that the situation has reversed, it's just that the enemy's offensive rhythm has been slightly disrupted.
"Use this opportunity to quickly set up the loudspeaker!" Commander Deng ordered a group of speed-type awakeners who had been temporarily organized. "Stop at all costs!"
"yes!"
More than twenty speed-type awakeners received their equipment and flew away, entering the vast sea of battlefield.
