When Xiao Lingfeng reported to the leader, it quickly attracted attention.
"Let the soldiers work a little harder, with three shifts on duty, and they are fully equipped with weapons and ammunition."
Also, contact the people who went to Linyang and expedite the progress there. Furthermore, notify Commander Gao to send someone out to scout out the situation, and be careful.
"Yes, sir, I'll notify them immediately." The orderly saluted and quickly ran out.
"Lingfeng, thank you for your hard work! Was this news delivered to you by your friend again? He's a patriotic person. Right now, what we need most here are capable and intelligent people like him."
If the base is built, will she go with us?
"It's hard to say, we haven't discussed this issue." Xiao Lingfeng couldn't be sure what Jian Ning was thinking.
"Okay, you can go back now. Be careful to protect yourself." The commander waved his hand.
After saluting, Xiao Lingfeng quickly left. Although he also wanted to go home to visit, the water supply task for today was not yet completed. However, with Jian Ning at home, he felt relatively at ease.
The appearance of these monsters has made human survival much more difficult. Now, it's not just about the basic needs of eating and drinking; even survival itself is threatened.
This is the time for soldiers to step up and take the lead.
After returning to Jinmao Mansion, Jian Ning first took out an array plate, placed spirit stones on it, and protected the entire building. This way, she would know if any monster triggered the array.
Then we went to Aunt Wang's house and saw Tian Tian watching cartoons on a tablet inside. She was very happy to see Jian Ning.
"Sister Ning, why didn't Bai Bai come over? I even asked Grandma to make some delicious meat for it."
"It'll be here in a minute, just wait a bit." As soon as Jian Ning finished speaking, Huang Fugui started scratching at the door from the outside. This foodie can't wait even a minute when he hears there's something delicious to eat.
"Bai Bai is here. Grandma, go open the door quickly." Tian Tian happily put down her tablet and ran to open the door.
As soon as Huang Fugui came in, he wagged his tail vigorously at Tian Tian, almost as if he wanted to talk to her for food.
"Bai Bai, you're here! Come on, let's go eat something delicious." As soon as Tian Tian saw Huang Fugui, she happily hugged him and headed towards the kitchen.
"This child finally has a playmate. Xiao Ning, your pet is really smart. It can understand everything, it's just short of being able to talk." Aunt Wang brought out a plate of salt-fried black beans for Jian Ning.
"Try it, I just stir-fried it. It's good for your hair if you have a snack."
"Thank you," Jian Ning said, grabbing a handful and putting it in her mouth. It was fragrant and crunchy. It really was quite delicious.
After sitting there for a while, he went to Jian Anping's place and taught him and Dazhuang a set of exercises, letting them figure it out and practice on their own, before going home.
When Xiao Lingfeng returned that evening, he went straight to Jian Ning's place. His expression was quite grave.
"How's it going? Is that monster too difficult to deal with?"
"Yes, today Commander Gao sent three platoons to the outskirts of the city to eliminate these monsters, all carrying the most advanced weapons."
Even so, one team was almost completely wiped out. Only one survivor returned with the news, severely wounded.
Therefore, I suggested to the commander that from now on, those of us who already possess superpowers should lead the charge, so that ordinary soldiers can no longer make needless sacrifices.
"I understand how you feel. With your skills, killing these things wouldn't be a problem at all."
My only concern is that you don't run out of spiritual power; try to save some for self-defense.
Moreover, even the strongest can be overwhelmed by a large number of monsters.
"We can't kill them all with just this sword. It would be best to use firearms like grenades and submachine guns together. That should be much more effective."
“I know, thank you for reminding me. The commander also asked today if you would come to the base with us. I also want to know your answer.” Xiao Lingfeng looked earnestly into Jian Ning’s eyes, waiting for her reply.
"I'm still not sure about that. The base will definitely be crowded with people in the future. With more people, there will be more trouble. Actually, I'm someone who really likes peace and quiet."
If it were just me, I definitely wouldn't go to the base; it would be so much better to be free. But with my brother and the children there...
I need to plan this out carefully. I'm sorry I can't give you a definite answer." Jian Ning paused for a moment, then finally voiced her thoughts.
"I understand. You don't need to feel burdened. Whether you go to the base or not is your choice."
To be honest, I'm also reluctant to leave this place. Let's see how things develop in the future. It would be best if we could eliminate these monsters.
If humanity loses, it's highly likely this city will be taken over by these monsters, and then there will be no way to stay.
Xiao Lingfeng's suggestion was already the worst-case scenario; hopefully, things won't come to that.
He glanced at his watch and said, "I'm going back now. Don't sleep too soundly tonight."
"Okay, take care!"
Jian Ning didn't say that the building was protected by an array and that nothing would happen; she told everyone to go to sleep as usual. With her there, nothing would go wrong.
However, she couldn't go back to her immortal abode tonight, and it had been quite a while since she had a proper night's sleep on the kang (heated brick bed). So, Jian Ning didn't cultivate tonight and went to bed early to rest.
In the middle of the night, the formation suddenly fluctuated, and Jian Ning woke up with a start.
I jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked out the window. In the pitch-black night, I couldn't see anything.
But just by feeling the constant impact on the formation, I knew there must be a lot of monsters downstairs. And without a doubt, there must be many of these soft-bodied monsters in the other buildings around here as well.
Because the formation was soundproof, the people living inside the building didn't hear any sounds outside. Jian Ning, however, could clearly hear the continuous screams and the sounds of monsters climbing the building.
She sat directly at the core of the formation. With her there, the monster in the formation couldn't get in no matter what.
That night, the sounds of wind, rain, piercing screams, and dense gunfire almost never stopped.
The attacking monsters retreated like a receding tide only after the bright red sun rose in the east.
Jian Ning looked down from the building and saw many mutilated corpses on the street, with bloodstains everywhere.
There was no one on this street before; surely no one would be out at night, especially since this isn't peaceful times. It's clear those corpses were dragged out of the building by the monster.
They must have developed intelligence by now; they no longer simply kill and devour. They have learned to store food, and these corpses are their food reserves.
The scene below is like hell on earth; everything seems to have changed overnight.
