Chapter 185: Preaching before Doomsday
In the southern center of the City of Hope, a doomsday preaching belonging to Jia Xianglan began.
His figure automatically appeared on all the screens. Xu Lingqu sat in the North District Commander's Office and looked outside. His hypocritical face was reflected on the large advertising screen of the building outside.
"I know everyone is panicking right now, because the Zerg will descend on this city in three and a half hours. But don't be afraid, we've found an air-raid shelter. Now, please rush to the XX Building. Our South District Army will try to get as many people in as possible." Jia Xianglan smiled. "North District Commander, Xu Lingqu, if you also need a place to stay during the apocalypse, you can come too. I'm willing to help you through this difficult time."
He finished speaking from the podium, and the crowd cheered, then rushed to the location where the blue explosion had occurred. For the ordinary NPCs in the City of Hope, this was a chance to survive. The entrance to the air-raid shelter instantly became crowded, and a stampede occurred.
Cheng Xing, an S-rank soldier of the Qing army, could not help but pick up his gun and fired a warning shot into the sky, and only then was he able to barely control these people who were rushing into the air-raid shelter like crazy.
He looked at everything in front of him irritably. Jia Xianglan was a fool. He was preaching there, enjoying the halo of the savior, but this place was about to be squeezed into a mess. He felt relaxed just talking.
The most annoying thing is that the capacity of this air-raid shelter is limited! The total population of Hope City is 300,000, and this air-raid shelter can only accommodate 30,000 people, so a full 270,000 people will be locked outside...
When Jia Xianglan arrived, the air-raid shelter was almost saturated. He glanced at the ordinary people who were still trying to rush in and shook his head.
"We can't go in anymore." He pretended to be regretful and sighed. "Everyone, this is the limit of the number of humans we can protect. If you're really anxious, you can go find Xu Lingqu, the commander-in-chief of the North District... Maybe she can find a new air-raid shelter."
These people are doomed to die, so it would be better to make good use of them and let them harass Xu Lingqu now.
Anyway, there is only one air-raid shelter in this game, and it is impossible for Xu Lingqu to find a second one.
Anyway, he had already done enough superficial work, and it was Xu Lingqu herself who ignored his proactive goodwill. But what was a bit strange was that she didn't even send anyone to kill people or cause trouble.
It seems that he voluntarily gave up the chance to live?
Jia Xianglan was happy to see Xu Lingqu like this. When the Zerg descended, Moye would die directly, and the Qing army could win directly in the air-raid shelter.
He raised his hand to signal the Qing army to set off smoke bombs and flash bombs at the entrance of the air-raid shelter to drive away the crowd that was still trying to rush in and clear the area.
Jia Xianglan walked into the air-raid shelter. There was an energy field defense device at the door that could block human scent and prevent the Zerg from finding this place.
Walking a little further in, there was a huge group of people huddled together. When they saw Jia Xianglan coming, they all waved at him.
He Jia Xianglan secured these 30,000 votes.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Jia looked at the time at Lan. The Zerg would arrive in three hours.
He stood there and gathered the Qing army, clearing his throat. "We can come in now and maintain order in the air-raid shelter. Leave 10 people outside to monitor what Xu Lingqu is doing. It would be best if we could kill her and come back at the last moment."
"I'll stay outside with my men." Cheng Xing immediately raised his hand and offered to stay outside. He really didn't want to stay in this air-raid shelter with Jia Xianglan.
"Good luck to you." Jia Xianglan also hated Cheng Xing who always went against him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Cheng Xing snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I will come back after killing Xu Lingqu."
Although he was annoyed with Jia Xianglan, he knew who his biggest enemy was now.
-
Xu Lingqu did not issue any order to find an air-raid shelter from the beginning.
"Let Jia Xianglan look for it. He has special channels for obtaining information, so he should be able to find it quickly." Xu Lingqu turned his head to look at Guan Zhongli. "What is this Zerg?"
It's not that she doesn't know about the concept of Zerg, which is almost a standard feature in interstellar novels. She just wants to confirm that the Zerg on Earth and the Zerg in this interstellar world are the same thing.
Guan Zhongli was stunned for a moment. Didn’t she know about the Zerg?
However, thinking it was perfectly normal that Commander Xu might not like some of the current apocalyptic movies, he quickly introduced them, "The Zerg is a very popular theme in apocalyptic novels right now. Those half-human-tall Zerg, including knife and gun worms, descend upon a planet and devour all life and resources. They can be killed, but if their numbers are too great, there will be a constant supply of Zerg life from the hive."
At this point, Guan Zhongli asked tentatively, "Are we really not going to look for the air-raid shelter? Or should we wait for the Qing army to find it before we capture it?"
After confirming that the concept of Zerg in interstellar space was similar to that on Earth, Xu Lingqu shook his head and said, "No, I won't go. Notice now that everyone at the Moye Military Academy has been divided into teams and begins searching for all armed forces within this city."
Guan Zhongli was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Lingqu: "Commander, you don't want to... lead us to fight against the Zerg, do you? There are only a hundred of us..."
His tone was dry and he couldn't believe what he said.
What's the difference between directly fighting the Zerg in this map and directly fighting the map's mechanics? This fact is too absurd, but applying this to Xu Lingqu seems extremely normal.
In this situation, Guan Zhongli couldn't help but think of the final assessment of the trial training period at Moye Military Academy.
With just a few words, she made Guan Zhongli willingly become the knife in her hand, bringing other students to join her in plotting against the instructor, and now...
Although Guan Zhongli was very skeptical in his heart, as long as Xu Lingqu spoke, he suddenly felt that it was not impossible to fight against the Zerg army.
"No, only one hundred of us are too few to fight against the Zerg. I don't have that plan." Xu Lingqu stood up and looked at him. "Let's count the number of armed forces first. In thirty minutes, we will hold a briefing at the North District Center."
She actually denied the idea of a hundred people fighting against the Zerg.
Guan Zhongli really didn't understand what Xu Lingqu was going to do. Was he going to concentrate his firepower to blast Jia Xianglan and the others out of the air-raid shelter? If he couldn't blast them out, he'd just kill them all. That was in line with the commander's style...
As he thought about it, he started to do what he was told.
Half an hour later, the commander-in-chief of the North District Military Region held a doomsday speech at the North District Center.
