Chapter 355: Defense at the Southwest Border

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the Chen family house, the person who had come to visit together with Elder Zhang was Zheng Yun from the central military region, who was a half-step away from the master realm.

He had a well-proportioned figure and was dressed neatly in a military uniform. He was about 40 years old and had a serious demeanor.

“The red fog has dissipated, and the mutant creatures are making a move. The southwest border is about to face an army of hundreds of millions of mutants?”

Chen Yiming was surprised to hear this news from Elder Zhang and Zheng Yun.

He was already quite confident about the origin of the huge eye, and he was certain that it was here to avoid trouble.

Some time ago, it had only launched an attack on the two futuristic fighter jets before falling silent again. This move was clearly a show of strength in an unfamiliar environment before expressing that it would mind its own business.

However, after just a week, it suddenly changed its mind and took the initiative to worsen the conflict between the two sides.

“The most valuable thing about the futuristic fighter jet is the fragments of extraordinary weapons. Could it be that it has its eyes on the complete extraordinary weapons in my hands?”

This was the only reason that could barely explain the other party’s inconsistent actions.

Seeing that Chen Yiming had snapped out of his thoughts, Zheng Yun said, “The military predicts that the entire southwest border will become a battlefield. They plan to send the 1,000-strong special forces to defend the long battlefront.”

Chen Yiming frowned and reminded him, “The huge eye has previously attacked the futuristic fighter jets. Sending this 1,000-man special forces team is equivalent to sending a lamb to the tiger’s mouth!”

“The space plan needs the strength of the entire country, and if the southwest provinces become a battlefield, the impact will be far-reaching. We really need a relatively stable environment to support the space plan.” At this point, Zheng Yun smiled bitterly.

The space plan was something that was beyond the ability of the Daxia Kingdom to begin with. Under normal circumstances, they should have gathered the power of the entire blue planet to build a spaceship.

If half of the country was reduced to a battlefield, with these changes, the citizens would become uneasy, and the plan might be brought to a stop.

Chen Yiming could understand the military’s intention, so he promised, “No matter what the huge eye’s goal is, no one can work alone. I’ll secretly keep an eye on the huge eye on Mount Everest.”

“Thank you so much.” Zheng Yun stood up and bowed.

Chen Yiming’s promise had undoubtedly reassured the military. Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings. As long as it wasn’t a dimensional attack, the war wouldn’t end so easily.

In fact, as long as Chen Yiming could defend against the huge eye, the military was confident that they could defeat the invading mutant army with their recent improvements in combat.

…

On the southwest border, in a forest filled with plants, a sword flashed past, and a row of seven or eight trees fell one after another. A figure landed in the air, waved his sword, and sheathed it.

“I didn’t expect Brother Lu’s sword to still be so sharp after not seeing you for so long. Your movement technique is still so outstanding,” a man in a long robe applauded and cheered not far away.

“Brother He, you flatter me. The mutant creatures are about to reach the border. How long will it take for me to complete the mission alone? We have to hurry,” the sword-wielding man urged.

“Relax. We have to save some strength to prevent ourselves from being ambushed by the mutant creatures,” the man said, but his hands did not stop moving.

“Relax. We have to save some strength to prevent ourselves from being ambushed by the mutant creatures,” the man said, but his hands did not stop moving.

“Got it. Focus on clearing the forest!” the man with the sword said in a low voice. He took a deep breath and continued to attack.

In the dense forest, the intermittent flashes of sword and saber flashed as row after row of trees fell.

Their mission was to clear the obstacles for the southwest defense line.

After all, the dense forest in some areas separated the front lines on both sides along the battlefront that was hundreds of kilometers long.

This would undoubtedly cause endless trouble. It would become a natural hiding place for the mutant creatures, causing the pressure on the entire defense line to increase.

Therefore, in order to reduce the casualties and preserve as much combat strength as possible, even if it meant destroying the environment, they could not care less about it at this time.

Just as the two of them were clearing the dense forest, a mutant human was lying on a rock wall in the damp darkness between the cracks in the mountain. Its ears twitched from time to time as it tried to determine the distance from the sound.

The mutant human’s four limbs had sharp claws on them, and wisps of black aura were being emitted from its entire body. It was almost perfectly camouflaged in the dark environment.

They were getting close.

They were getting close.

They were about to get close enough for him to launch a sneak attack.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, a small device carried by the man in the long robe sounded an alert. His body stiffened and he almost lost his grip on the long saber in his hand.

“There’s…”

The sword-wielding man quickly shut his mouth and stood rooted to the ground.

Mutant humans were also divided into different levels. Those with mutations only in a certain part of their body were equivalent to a human in the disciple realm. This was the weakest level of mutant humans.

Those with an extremely powerful black aura on their bodies, which was a type of supernatural power, were equivalent to a human warrior.

This kind of alert device was developed to detect the black aura based on inspiration that the military research institute had obtained from developing and producing new weapons.

The materials used were the parts of the mutant creatures that had mutated, and the pure water in which a fragment of an extraordinary weapon had soaked in.

The man in the long robe pressed the button to stop the alarm. The beeping sound immediately disappeared, and the surroundings returned to silence. Only the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze could be heard.

He and the sword-wielding man looked at each other and instantly exchanged a round of silent communication.

The two of them were only warrior candidates, so they could still fight ordinary mutant creatures.

As for this mutant creature that was hiding in some corner nearby, it was not something they could deal with since it caused the device to sound an alarm. If they were not careful, they would die here.

The two of them carefully retreated step by step, trying their best to reduce the vibrations caused by their footsteps. It was unknown if they were lucky or if the mutant creature just did not care about two small fries like them. In any case, the mutant creature hiding in the dark did not attack them.

A few minutes later.

The two people, who had retreated a distance, turned around and ran. They only stopped after running for a few kilometers.

“Brother Lu, how about we go drinking tonight?”

“No problem. We have to drink until someone falls to the ground.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although they were drenched in sweat, their relationship had suddenly become much closer. They could be considered to have gone through a disaster together.

Of course, the two of them did not forget their job. They quickly took out their communication device and contacted the nearby troops to report their encounter in the dense forest.

A few more minutes passed.

A martial arts expert from the military flew over and struck out with a dragon-shaped energy beam, killing the mutant human that was still hiding in the dark crack in the mountain.

…

Half a day later, armed helicopters crossed the southwest border and patrolled the sky, monitoring the movements of the mutant creatures from a distance.

If they attacked with an army of hundreds of millions, their gathering point would be too large to conceal.

In addition, it would take time to move from the various states of the Ganges Kingdom to one gathering point. Their speed was not that fast, and there was enough time for the Daxia Kingdom to build a defense line first.

In the uninhabited area at the border of the two countries, a small number of mutant creatures appeared in the forest, causing a small conflict with the humans who were carrying out missions there.

Due to the lack of numbers, they could not effectively stop the Daxia Kingdom from clearing out the dense forest that blocked their line of sight.

At the same time, a large number of supplies were transported to Chengdu. They were loaded into trucks and sent to the southwest border. On the border, sentry posts were built one after another at a high speed, as well as the foundation for the military camp.

Soon, an organized army entered the city. These troops were not only from the provinces in the southwest, but also from the central and southern provinces of the Daxia Kingdom.

Before the army of mutants gathered and pushed against the border, the Daxia Kingdom’s defense line had already taken shape. This was almost completed in a day. All that was left was to make some repairs and integrate the entire defense line.
