Chapter 188 We are the Federal Youth United Army
Jatu stared intently at the live broadcast of the league match, his face bulging with anger. He quickly contacted the designer of this match and vented his rage, "Why are there so many firepower equipment in the City of Hope? What are you doing here? How dare you ignore me?"
Jatu, the designer of this map, also considered the possibility that Xu Lingqu would go all out and lead his men against the Zerg. To prevent this, he specifically instructed the designers not to give the City of Hope too much firepower. This way, the entire map's trajectory would be completely under his control, and hiding in the air-raid shelter would be the only way to survive.
The designer endured the CEO's anger. After Jiatu angrily shouted that he would be fired and hung up the phone, he sighed and contacted Director Yin of the League Center.
"President Jiatu...he wanted to kill me. He told me I didn't have to go to work anymore." The designer's tone was full of helplessness. He rubbed his hair. "But I don't regret listening to your advice. The current Saitu is what everyone really wants to see. I succeeded."
"You won't be fired." Director Yin was at the Empire Sports Arena at the moment, listening to the cheers of the audience inside the venue and said firmly, "Trust me."
If Jatu can cheat his son by changing the settings of Seturi, then Director Yin can also change the settings of Seturi to make the league fair.
She took the initiative to suggest that the designers of Setu should at least leave enough armed forces for the City of Hope, otherwise most of the ordinary people would have to face the Zerg with bare hands. Unfortunately, due to Jatu's close surveillance, the armed forces that the designers secretly hid in the City of Hope were limited.
Director Yin and the designer himself were unsure whether these armed forces could really be used to kill the powerful Zerg created by the designer.
She hung up the call with the designer, stood in the venue, and looked at the audience's raised arms to cheer.
"Xu Lingqu." Director Yin read out the name that appeared most frequently and sighed, "I really hope you can win."
Dense swarms of Zerg fell from the sky and rushed towards ordinary humans. At the same time, five fighter jets took off, their target being the mother nest in the sky that was continuously spawning Zerg.
The battle with the Zerg must be fought quickly. The Zerg's reproduction power is too strong. If the war continues, the people in this city will definitely be killed by them.
Cheng Xing got into the fighter jet and took a deep breath. He was the only one among the four fighter jets who did not have a communication headset. He was from the Qing Army, not Moye, but Cheng Xing did not think of himself as an alien. There was nothing alien about fighting for humanity.
He started the fighter and said to himself, "Commander Xu Lingqu, I will escort you."
Time goes back to the moment when Cheng Xing decided to fight alongside the people from Moye Military Academy.
Inside the air-raid shelter, Cheng Xing accurately conveyed Jia Xianglan's words to every Qingjun student, and everyone fell silent for a moment.
Jia Xianglan's face turned very ugly. He wanted to say something in rebuttal, but he really didn't dare to open his mouth. He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, the image of a reasonable person he had portrayed would be ruined.
After Cheng Xing finished speaking, two more students from the Qing Army spoke up. They looked hesitant and said to Jia Xianglan, "Shall we go and bring Cheng Xing back?"
They just want to go out and take a look, and find an excuse to stay here.
Jia Xianglan gave them both a cold look and said, "Then go ahead."
My father said that the weapons stored here would definitely not allow humans to defeat the Zerg. Xu Lingqu was courting death and even deceived so many people into joining her.
You all go to hell, die outside like that idiot Cheng Xing, become thugs for Moye Military Academy, and betray the Federation, which would be the best. This way, he, Jia Xianglan, can show his intelligence.
With Jia Xianglan's approval, the two Qing Army students left the shelter, while the others remained. Silence still enveloped the shelter, and even the usually talkative Qing Army deputy commander wore a sullen expression.
The sound of fierce gunfire from the battle outside reached the air-raid shelter, and the war between humans and Zerg began.
After about 30 minutes, the two Qingjun students rushed back to the air-raid shelter in a mess. They were covered in human blood and blue-green mucus sprayed out by the dead Zerg.
Jia Xianglan was overjoyed. After all, they were going to flee back to the air-raid shelter for safety. He gave a proper smile and was about to express his concern for the two men when they shouted at the other Qing Army students in the shelter, "Anyone else?! Is there anyone willing to go out and fight with us?"
Although ordinary people were armed, their killing power was limited. The two of them really went to find Cheng Xing at first, but halfway through, the Zerg arrived directly.
When the two of them encountered Moye's students, they thought they were going to be killed, but they were stuffed with several extra weapons.
At this time, the combat effectiveness of military cadets is definitely several times higher than that of ordinary people, and they need the power of military cadets!
"Those disgusting bugs are slaughtering ordinary people and destroying cities. We shouldn't stay here. The people from Moye Military Academy are fighting for ordinary people, but we are cowards here. Is this right?" The two embarrassed soldiers roared at their somewhat numb companions in the air-raid shelter.
The Qingjun students who were originally sitting on the ground in groups of three or four now stood up one after another.
Seeing this, Jia Xianglan quickly spoke up to stop them, saying, "If we leave now, we'll fall into Xu Lingqu's trap. We can definitely win the final victory just by staying here, right? We're here to win the league championship!"
The unusually silent deputy commander of the Qing army suddenly spoke. He had always liked Jia Xianglan before. He just thought that this person might just like to be clever, but he was still very outstanding in essence.
But now, he had to face reality.
"Jia Xianglan, do you still remember the oath that all the members of the Qing Army had to recite loudly in front of the statue of Admiral Merlin when we first entered school this year?" He stretched out a hand and grasped the Qing Army school badge on his clothes.
What oath? Jia Xianglan's brain froze for a moment. How could he possibly remember something that he would forget after memorizing it?!
The last bit of expectation in the deputy commander's eyes disappeared.
"You've forgotten, let me tell you. We are the Federation Youth United Army. We fear no death or hardship, and we swear to defend the life and dignity of every citizen of the Federation!" the deputy commander shouted, pointing outside the air-raid shelter. "The lives and dignity of those on the ground are in danger. Are we going to turn a blind eye to their suffering and sit back and reap some utterly useless victory?"
Jia Xianglan was filled with shock. "Are you crazy? This is just a competition. Those humans are just NPCs, just data codes..."
"If you want their votes, you have to treat them as human beings, as citizens of the Federation." The deputy commander shook his head. He no longer wanted to say another word to Jia Xianglan. "I can accept losing in the league, but I will never allow myself to lose in protecting our citizens."
He followed the two Qingjun students who ran back and stepped out of the air-raid shelter without hesitation. Then, the Qingjun students left one after another.
In the end, only Jia Xianglan was left standing there, like a petrified statue.
